The Invitation

"Susan are you up yet", the voice of Emily Young rang around the little cottage in the middle of the forest. "Grandma I'm on my way, I won't be long", Susan yelled from her little bedroom at the end of the corridor of the little cottage. Susan grunted as she tried to fit her foot into her white sneaker. It was her first day of junior high school, and she was quite confident she would be late being 8:30am already.

Susan had fit her foot into her sneaker already, like the flash she put on her hoodie and grabbed her mini school bag. She then dashed out of the house as if it where to be a life or death situation though to Susan it probably was.

In the dark of the forest a figure stood silently and still waiting for Susan to leave. Seeing she was gone it then approached the door of the little cottage.

Susan's house was in the middle of Pine-field Forest and her school Bright Valley High was 5 kilometers away, but it was no problem for Susan because she was use to it traveling such a long distance.

She had gotten to school at 9:05am looking at the her watch she began to freak out in her head ' OMG Grandma Emily going to kill me, I'm as good as a Turkey on Thanks Giving, I've already missed 2 classes She looked around and the fence and found a way to climb over it living in the forest Grandma Emily always encouraged her to climb. '

Climbing is good exercise' she always use to say she jumped down from fence and made her way to the windows looking for her class, she had found the window and began to sign to a girl with dark black her, the girl was Mia Miller her very best friend. The girls eye caught her and Mia then signed to the boy who sat at the window to open it but he didn't answer, to she began to make flirty faces at the boy while twisting her long hair around her ring finger, he then smirked and opened the window Mia gave a thumbs up to Susan and a number of Susan's worries had gone .

Mia got up from her seat and walked to the board where the male teacher (Mr Brown) stood she divided his attention with tome question she just formulated in her head. While Mr Brown was talking to Mia two boys from the back row came to the window to help support the other boy get Susan into the class.

Susan got in and made her way to the seat beside Mia's taking no notice no notice to this Mr Brown continued his miserable lesson on the life cycle of a frog. Mia took her seat beside Susan and whispered ' Su why are you to late' still whispering Susan made a I'm sorry face and replied "I overslept".Mia and Susan began to talk to each other when Mr Brown "Miss Young would you like to add to the lesson," Susan stood from her seat "How about I ask you tome questions, what do you call a baby frog", "Tadpole". what does the mother frog do to protect the egg s", "With a gel that tastes terrible to predators". " You may sit down, when next you decide to talk in the class I will show no mercy ..."

The bell rang shut Mr Brown up before he could say anymore to the kids that would get him fired, he then left the class and closed the door in the process instantly Susan know she was Dead meat the cold stares of her class !ages was upon her all but Mia that is, Mia and Susan had been best friends for 13 years and they where both 16, Mia was one of the cute,bold girls in the class ever guys dream girl, while Susan was more of a mouse who was afraid of its own shadow but had the brains of an owl.

The class was as silent as a grave yield till the silence was broken by a blonde haired girl named Amaya Robertson stepped in front of Susan's desk and banged hand on the table each of her fingers having glossy pink name Polish. She had a wicked smile on her face "Susan as smart as you are you are you are still to dumb," She was grating her perfectly white teeth against each other " You know you almost spoiled our changes of going on the class field trip to Timi Bay Beach on the next coming 2 months that I would very much want to go," She turned her back against Susan and walked a few steps forward and turned to face Susan with her hands folded against her chest "to I think we have yo teach you a lesson" Amaya signed and to girls came in front of Susans view of Amaya, the trouble Clark twins Dora, and Nora.

Nora was about to land a dirty slap on Susan face when out of nowhere Mia held her wrist and tossed it a side, she was giving everyone of her classmate a poker stare "Who the hell do you guys think you are to slap Susan are you better than her, Peter what about the time we all saw you deflating Principal Michaels minivan did we all surround you as if planing to beat you up or what about the time you Amaya Robertson broke tome of the schools pipes to we won't have one of Mr Cooper's PopQuiz point is Susan just made a little mistake of waking up late and in the end did we get caught to guys should stop acting like a bunch of sorry added babies and forget the damn matter."

Amaya walked up to Mia "Who do you think you are ..." Mia cut her of "You know what cuz you can shove what ever nonsense you have in mind down your throat". Mia raised Susan from her desk and took her out of the class.

Amaya and everyone else in the class where left stunned and decided in their little heads of to shut their mouth holes up. Meanwhile Susan was being dragged around the hallway of Bright Valley High, her eyes glittering with admiration as she stared at Mia from behind. Finally they reached the art room one of the few places Susan ever fell comfortable in at Bright Valley High.

'''Su you all, right" Mia asked as she let go of Susan hand to look at her, Susan bluntly nodded "OK, great what those cry babies say their to dumb to apprehend anything after they are babies" .There was a sweet smile one Susan's face. "OK, I'll go get both of us tome snacks while you stay here and continue your sketch."

Mia left and Susan sat on a table at the far end of the room beside the window and continued to draw her sketch of a boy she had only ever met in her dreams. When the door cracked open, Susan looked up and her smile went up side down. Now before Susan stood Jake,tom,And Jerry 3 of Amaya Robertson's Personal Bodyguards. " Hey, guys look who it's the biggest mistake in the history of Bright Valley " tom had blurted out, the boys where beginning to surround Susan when Mia walked in saying "Hey, Susan do you like Corn Chips more than Sugar Crunch Cookies..., what the heck!" as if it where instinct Mia grabbed tom by his shirt and gave him a dirty punch on his face jerry and Jake came after her, she tossed tom on Jerry and they came crashing into a wall she grabbed Jake by him arm after he tried to punch her pretty face she used her leg to trip him over and he landed in the pile of boys.

Susan was started by Mia's skill in taking the boys down with out having a single mark to show, Mia then faced Susan "I guess that's why tom is always after Jerry". The boys stood up and Mia warned them if they ever pulled a stunt like that on Susan again she would promise them she would break their arm and leg. The boys when out of the room quickly.

At 3:30 sharp Susan ran out of the school for home before Amaya could call anymore of her gang members on her. She got home at , 4:00. And ran straight to her little bedroom for a shower, when she got out she put on a black baggy jean and a purple crop top hoodie. She then went to the living room to met her Grandma.

Shock went down her spine as she entered the living room to see her grandma on one of the arm chairs and a someone else wearing a long robe sitting on the other chair. In that short moment she recalled how her Grandma always said she should never tell anyone where she lived that's the reason why she had told everyone who ever knew her she was from Canada and lived a very long distance away.

Emily Young signed to her granddaughter to take a seat reluctantly Susan sat down. "Susan I would like you to meet Maria Kingston she's an old friend of your mother and is here to invite you to a very very special school called 'The Academy of Mark Daemand''." Seeing how her grandmother was comfortable with this to called woman. Susan eased herself a bit. But looked at the woman as if say 'Take of the hood' Maria did so and Susan face sign in shock the woman was quite beautiful but had impossibly long pointed ears like that of an elf.

Susan screamed and fainted from the chair to the ground.
