Kiera’s Trials

Arriving

K. H. A.

Oh My God. Today I actually have to go to school. So it’s been a week since we moved into our new house. It’s been great really. I just didn’t know the new term started so soon. Mum says we are lucky there even letting me in this late in the school year. The school’s called “G.R.E.N. Academy” or something like that. I’ve been asking my mum what’s with the school. Why would it be any different from the others? And all she’s been saying is “It just is. Trust me.” I mean of course I trust her but I don’t know why this school would be any different from the others. Well, there are two things: one, it’s a boarding school. So I’ll basically be there all the time except for holidays. And two, Its in a whole new country, all the way across the globe. So basically I need to learn a whole new language.

I spent the week looking for bow and arrows all over town and couldn’t find one, not one. So I have nothing to take my anger out on. So instead I stayed up in my room and talked to Jesus on the phone.

-“Kiera, get up, we gotta get going! Please tell me that you packed last night!” My mum said. I didn’t even need to pack for I never unpacked from when we got here. But, I do need to shower. “I’m up, just give me a second! I’m gonna hop in the shower real quick then be down with my stuff!” I got out and went into the humongous bathroom. There is no bathtub it’s one of those showers with the clear walls and no tub. So I stripped down and stepped into the shower. The water was steaming, by then.

***************15 minutes later****************

As I stepped out from the shower I already had a towel rapped around me. I went to my dresser in my room and picked out a gorgeous outfit. I had on a white cropped shirt. With a rose-gold cardigan. And had on black ripped denim jeans. My hair was up in two messy Dutch Braids down the sides of my head. I dabbed on a little mascara and some blush, and slid on my new kicks, air Jordan ones triple white. I grabbed my boxes and headed out to the car. My mum was waiting in the kitchen and when she saw me she got all fussy saying stuff like “ here sweetie let me help you,” or “here let me open the door for you.” She is always like that and to be honest I didn’t really have that many boxes. I always leave behind what I don’t absolutely need when we move cause I can just bye it when we get to our new place. So I only had like three boxes. One had sentimental gifts. The other had my books and uniform. And the third was fragile, it held my violin. As we put the bags in the car, mum stuffed a bag in my hand and said” don’t open it until you get there and are settled in okay?” I promised her and gave her a hug, and told her I’ll see her in a couple months. As I got in the drivers side I saw my mum release a few tears thinking I wasn’t goin to see her. I felt bad, really, I mean she’s been there with me through it all and I’m just leaving her hangin. It’s not nice. But then I remembered it was her idea for this school and so I got in bucked up my seat belt and drove to the school 90 miles from the house.

As I pulled into the parking lot I noticed people already are getting there assigned rooms.

I got out and grabbed my bags and walked up to where everyone seemed to be getting there rooms. As I was walking across the court yard, I heard someone wolf whistle at me and it made me go red, so much so that I looked down and as I did that I tripped over a rock and ended up sprawled on the floor. Great, not even past the first day of school and I already made a fool of myself. As I got up I realized Someone was right there putting there hand out to me. I took it and they pulled me up. I looked down and mumbled something about me being clumsy. As I was saying sorry I heard a chuckle and managed to sneak a peek at whoever helped me up. It was a beautiful girl about my age. She said “ Girl, you have nothing to apologize for. Everyone trips one time or another. Your fine, trust me. My names, Kylee. What’s yours?” I looked down and said “ Kiera, Kiera Huxhold.” “ Well, nice to meet you Kiera, let’s head over to the booths shall we?” I nodded and grabbed my stuff off of the floor and we headed to the booths.

As we headed to the booths Kylee told me mora about herself. She’s from Australia, and has a huge fascination with werewolves. I mean I can’t blame her there. Werewolves are awesome. She kind of reminds me of one. She has strength of any one I have ever met. She is beautiful and elegant like them to. She has ash blonde hair and electric blue eyes. She is skinny but not to skinny. She is obviously fit. She is wearing a black cropped gossip and white ripped jeans, with black high hills. For some reason I’m finding it hard to believe that someone like her would be talking to me. Don’t get me wrong I like talking, well listening, to her. She had thing to say. It’s just weird that out of everyone here, who would probably die to talk to her, she chose to talk to me. As finally reached to booths where there was a lady and man waiting for us. “ Hey, you guys must be Kylee and...?” He said while looking at his clipboard. “ Kiera, Kiera Huxhold.” I say finally. He nods like he finally saw me “ Right Kiera. Well looks like you two are roommates. Lucky you.” He said the first part embarrassed but it quickly turned bitter. He looked about our age. And for a short second I thought that he was kinda cute. I quickly banished the idea to the back of my mind locked away for a while just like everything else and instead focused on the girl. She was actually really pretty. She has red hair with blonde highlights and brown eyes. She is pretty quiet. The whole time she was just looking down at the clipboard. I looked at her name tag and her name was Jessie. I snapped out of my thoughts when she looked up, and noticed me looking at her. She cleared her through and said “ Here are your guys’ keys. You are in building B room 104.” She handed us our keys and papers. The guy, Chris, said “ Orientation is tomorrow, don’t be late. That is where we will find out your abilities and your classes.” It took me a second to register what he meant. “ Abilities? What do you mean abilities?!” I had no clue what this dude was talking about. He looked exasperated and said, “ You’r powers. God where have you been all your life hidden in a over-lapse of time? God”. He seemed annoyed, and all of a sudden I felt embarrassed. I looked at Kylee and she looked like she wanted to ask the same question I did but she was smart and held her tongue. I took a deep breath and said with false cheerfulness, “ Oh my god, you actually fell for it!” I faked a laugh. Kylee joined in and we both laughed at him. He looked so lost I couldn’t but help laugh some more. “God of course we know what abilities are, wow you are so dense.” Kylee said still laughing. He now just looked annoyed and yelled next. We both got our stuff and started to walk to building B which as I can see, is the biggest one. I looked at her, and we bother we’re serious. “What really are abilities?” Kylee finally said. And to be honest I had no idea.
