Chapter 2: The Arrival

Vee's POV

I woke up to see that we were at a forest "Miss Sasha? Why are we at a forest?" I was confused " You see Veronica this is the only way to get to the school. " I looked at her "A school?" "Yes my dear, a school."

Wait? A school? I just sat there thinking about what it's like at the school. Will there be people like us there? Will they accept me? Hmmm I guess I'll just find out when we get there.

I was lost in my trail of thoughts when Miss Sasha spoke "Look up ahead Veronica" I did, what I saw amazed me. I saw a huge golden gate it almost looked like it was glittering. "Gate, do as I say, open" She said while flicking her wrist at the gate. Suddenly the gate opened up on its own "Woooaaahhh" I got real excited "How'd you do that Miss?" I looked at her astonished "I'll tell you a little secret, You actually just say the words and not flick your wrist at all, the gate recognizes voices. The wrist was just for extra drama" she said to me and winked. "Hahaha oh I get it" I laughed and continued sightseeing. To my right I see there's a lot of white roses here, a lot surrounding the fountain. To my left I see little hut-like houses "Miss?" "Yes Veronica?"

" What are those? " I said while pointing at the hut-like stuctures "Oh those are the houses of the guardians" huh? "Guardians? What kind of guardians?" I said looking at her confused "The guardians can come in any shape and form, they help guide the students here at mystic academy. They are wise creatures that give you tips and tricks to improve" "Oh wow! How do I get one?" I said in an excited tone "You don't get to choose them Veronica, they choose you" I was confused "They choose me? But how—" I was going to ask more questions when she cut me off "Every year the first years line up in front of the class and gets chosen by one of the wise guardians" "But what if they don't choose me? Is that possible?" I got sad thinking about it "Uhm it did happen before but it was just because the guardian was off on a mission that day, don't worry you'll get one, I know it" she said to me with confidence.

When we went inside the school, I could see a grand staircase in front of me, there was a huge chandelier too. As I walked by I saw a guy leaning against a pillar. He wore a light blue polo shirt and denim pants.

I'll admit he was kinda cool leaning there. When I was staring at him I didn't realize he was also looking at me and was looking confused "Oh sorry heh" I said and smiled sheepishly. Ahhhh gosh how long was I staring? I'm so embarrassed now. I could feel my cheeks starting to heat up as I ran off to the stairs and saw Miss Sasha waiting for me. "Let's go to your room shall we?" She said to me while leading me to a hallway. " We're here, This'll be your room room from now on, feel free to explore and make this school like your own home" "Thank you Miss"

As I walked in my room I saw two girls laying in their bed. One stood up, "Hi I'm Cass, Casidy Mayers" she had red hair, wore a leather jacket over a white shirt and ripped jeans "And the one still laying in her bed is miss Quin Peters, you can call her Quin" As I looked at her she was on her phone and listening to music "Oh, Hi I'm Quin" She said to me took off her headset and smiled. "So now you've met me and Quin, What's you're name stranger?" Cass says and looked at me " Oh sorry my name's Veronica Alexia, call me Vee for short" I said then smiled at them. "So Miss Vee, here's your bed next to it is your own closet. You can put your things there."

As I went to the closet I discovered that it was huge and already filled with dresses, jewellery, shirts pants and a lot more things it was like an entire size of a bedroom. "Wait? This is all mine? But how?" I looked at Quin confused. "You see Vee, here at Mystic Academy they already provide you with necessary things that you would possibly like" "But how did they know I liked reading books?" There was lots of books in there too. "Before we enter the academy the teachers actually kinda find a lot of information about us to know what we like and don't like. That's why every closet is different"

Oh wow okay that's a lot to take in. I was just standing between the closet doors all confused when Quin spoke "Hey, don't worry to much, you look flustered. We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow" Quin said i a excited time "Why what's gonna happen tomorrow?" I asked in confusion " You don't know what tomorrow is?! " Cass said to me while looking persistent. "Nope, not a clue" I said looking at them confused "Tomorrow is our first day of class, and that means that—" "that we're going to meet new people like us?" I said cutting Cass off "Well that but what's more great is we get to meet our gaurdians!" Cass said excitedly "Then we better head to sleep then, we've got a big day ahead of us" Quin said excitedly "Alright, good night Quin, good night Cass" "Good night Vee" they said in unison. Sighs* "I wonder what tomorrow holds for me" I said while looking at the ceiling that's full of stickers that look like stars in different sizes.While looking at the ceiling, I hadn't noticed that I already fell asleep.
