The school loomed in front of Valissa, instantly filling her with a sense of dread, seeing as she and her twin were the new kids. No one usually had a very good first day, and Valissa had heard that the kids at this school were especially brutal in their methods of making one's life miserable.

Camelot High, the top high school in the country, heck, the poster school for the entire state, stood proudly in front of Valissa and her twin brother, Merlin. Others, including most adults and the wealthy families, saw it as a castle. A great empire that stood where an ancient chapel used to stand, which was quite ironic, as most teenagers were pretty sure that the school and its founder, Rupert Pendragon, came from the complete opposite direction. It was quite a sight to see, there was no denying that; in fact, it looked as magnificent as if one had simply flipped open a history book and looked at the remarkable medieval castles that once stood high and majestic, conducting its vast empires.

But no, Valissa and Merlin saw it for what it really was: a horrible prison that they would have to spend the next three years of their lives in...That wasn't very appealing to either of the Emrys twins. Now, you may think that the two were being dramatic, but they really weren't. This school (like many others) were separated by social status. It was idiotic and spiteful, but if you weren't accepted here, then you were bullied constantly. If you didn't have money—and lots of it—you were a nobody. Having gotten in on scholarships and having to scrape up the money for everything else, the twins didn't think they'd be very popular here. That was fine for the twins—if it didn't mean that you'd get beaten up every day. The two teens had heard that the kids at this school were especially brutal and...creative in their ways of harassment.

Mother thought it was a good idea to send us here, Valissa thought sarcastically, gazing up at the colossal building in front of her, And a month into the school year too!

Valissa looked over to her twin, "Well, at least Mom was right about one thing…"

Merlin looked back at her, visibly nervous, "Yeah? And what would that be?"

Valissa let her gaze fall back to the castle-like structure, "It does not look like a school."

Merlin smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, "Yeah, it looks like one of the castles from the story books we read as kids."

"…Yeah, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table." Valissa smirked at Merlin, "Or Merlin, the Court Magician."

"Hey, don't get me started on that. Your name's in those legends too. Everyone knows the Great Merlin had a twin." Merlin shook his head, mimicking Valissa's smirk, "One that fell in love with King Arthur."

Valissa snorted, "Yeah, too bad there aren't any Arthurs around here." She looked back at the school, giving a sigh, "God knows I could really use a knight in shining armor right now…"

Merlin just laughed, then looked down at his phone, "We should probably start walking to the office now, school's about to start and I don't want to get caught up in the morning rush."

Valissa nodded, tightening her grip on her messenger bag's strap. "Let's go." And with that, the two walked into the school and new prison for the next four years of their life...
