Wizard 101 story:
The traitor.
Prologue:
"Did you hear about the news? Next session a mortal student will transfer to the Myth class here in Wizard city, isn't that amazing?! I heard that from my friends next-door in the dorm last night.
Sadly I were too tired to join them in the living room after a hectic, educational day, but together the girls would play a roleplay game and cosplay as humans, which apparently is the new trend in town.
I didn't get much sleep since they can get pretty loud when they are up to it though…
Oh, well, I better hurry up before I get late to class! See you later, diary."
First chapter:
I smirked as I wrote down that last word on the further, almost blank page before I put down the pen in my tray and packed my school bag. The sun was blazing and as I turned around the beams would hit me in the eyes with their strong energy. I had to cover my vision while I approached the window in my room before I opened it up and sneaked a peak in the garden below. Ah, nothing smelled better than the scent of damp grass! It had been raining during the night hours which were another reason why I did find some difficulties with sleeping… but since I could sense this wonderful smell the day afterwards it was so worth it!
Dressed in a dark blue wizard uniform with yellow strips I looked back at the clock on the wall and realized that I had 45 minutes left till the classes started and in prior to that I had to eat a steady breakfast to cope with the event. Let's see… it takes 15 minutes to head to the classroom,
the cafeteria is usually crowded no matter what time it is and, hmm…
I shook my head, it was time for some investigation.
Downstairs I ran in a skipping pace, it was gamboling. To my astonishment it wasn't that many folks in the dining room and this statement calmed my nerves. Well with my mind on ease I grabbed a plate and asked the always so kind food lady to fill my plate. Today they were serving porridge and rice omelets, so delicious! Then when I started to search for a table I noticed my friends sitting adjacent to the window section of the room as I gladly sat down with them.
It was five wizards to being correct. Iridian Anvil Wraith, the much cool type who's earthy, chill, clumsy and have a humoristic nature, though not the most clever person… With her blue, spiky hair which reaches with its tallest tangles to her waist, her big, brown eyes, freckles and yellow clothing style with black strips, she is spectacularly original.
Then there is Isaac Sea Walker, he is the only one in our group with dark skin except from Abigail.
His personality is really varying, and by that I mean… one moment he might be the sweetest and derpiest guy you'll ever meet, while the next one… he is one of these smart asses you just want to throw a brick on to shut them up, or something among these lines… don't get me wrong, when the time comes he will stand up for you and support you with all his might which makes him loyal and a true friend. His green, intense eyes can stare into your very soul and the red, fiery hair reflect his being well. I'm not gonna lie, he has always been an addict to the shades of blue and therefore he is wearing a blue school uniform/which emblematizing his element), with red strips.
Abigail Gold Shade on the other hand is a beauty with a big heart. At first sight she might not show it,
since she is saucy and show some kind of cautiousness towards people she don't know very well,
but with patience you'll notice how she opens up by time and becomes sweet and lovely.
Her countenance matches her character and she do have this golden brown, sunbathed skin, make-up, big, brown eyes, classy, long, purple hair with short bangs slightly hanging down at the front of her forehead, red uniform with pink strips and dark purple boots with beige strips.
Richard Dusk Whisper is one of these, more or less, quiet and inscrutable boys. He seems to always carry around a writing pad and when you least expect it he will disappear from the surroundings to an unknown place. Sometimes he… does even scare me a little bit, but… that's cool. It's completely fine! After all we can assure that he hasn't killed someone… yet… Nah, what kind of impression do I give you guys now? All we know is that… he is true-blue to us, and… that's great!
His pitch black hair is always well-groomed, his black, frowning eyebrows will always remain respectable, he never smirks… though we usually tickle him and hear a snort or two, he wears black clothes with black strips and he is a "master student" of the death school.
Dunno about you guys, but that school freaks me out!
And then there is Kane Raven Hammer, taking the "balance-class". He is so adorably cute and gentle. He always asks about our days, makes sure that no one is emotionally damaged and if they are he tries to communicate with us and solve the problems for us, he naturally brings me flowers every Wednesday of some reason and he is the flirtatious type among girls…
I know this sounds weird, but… I think that "my buddy for ten years straight", managed to catch… my attention somewhat… as well… Oh, well, we are and will always remain friends so… it shouldn't be a bigger problem!
He has orange, boyish hair, green, sparkling eyes, light skin and these green clothes with blue strips.
I must say, among my friends Aridian is my best one. Our personalities "clicks", many of our interests are the same and we are both very creative!
"Good morning!" I greeted with a big smirk.
"Oh, Esmee, good morning!" Oh, my dear Kane… never change the way you are, please?
The thought stroke my mind as I stared at him dreamingly… Luckily everyone was busy and wouldn't catch the moment with their visions.
"Hey, Esmee, good that you made it on time! Look, my math? Help!"
Abigail stuck up the book in front of my nose and asked me to solve the problems for her, one by one.
"The deadline is TODAY and I forgot to do it!"
"H-hey… how do you expect me to-…"
"Just do something, anything is good as long as it has with the problems to do!"
Sure I was familiar with equations and graphs, but… geometry?
"I… will try my best…"
"Please, hurry, I'll have to sign it in in less than 30 minutes!"
"And as always you are a time optimistic…"
"So?"
"Don't worry, I'll manage it…"
I glared at Isaac who responded with an innocent smile, why wouldn't that "genius" give me a hand?
"Hey, Richard, how has your "hunting spree" been going lately?"
No response…
"Hap, you are just as silent as always, it's like talking to a stone, you know?"
Aridian sighed as she averted her attention towards Isaac next to her instead and shoved him in the side.
"Hey, have you decided yet?"
He gave her a confused look.
"You know… about your little…"
He hushed her and brought up his hands to her mouth, preventing her from speaking.
"Not now, Iridian!"
At first she were a little surprised by his action, though that amused face turned into a smirk on no time. She removed his hands and uttered these words:
"Alright, alright, little boy…"
She ruffled around in his hair before she leaned closer to his ear and whispered:
"Watch your mouth further on, a promise might be a promise but won't you ask yourself the question if I'm really that trust worthy?"
"Hey, what are you two doing?"
Asked the bored Abigail with a raised up eyebrow.
"Nothing, really. Just chatting… By the way, what's the time right now?"
"Seems to be less than ten minutes left till the classes are starting…"
"Ha, I got you!"
Iridian quickly jumped up from her seat with a finger out pointing in the air.
"You're finally talking!"
"So?"
Richard shrugged and cleaned his part of the table.
"Hurry up or you'll be late."
I and the others blinked after him as he left till we reminded ourselves and cleared our trays as well.
Storm school:
"Good morning, students!"
The small creature on his tiny, small frog feet, dressed in an old fashioned top hat, unbuttoned blazer, playsuit, collar and a cane for support in the left hand, bounded into the classroom on his way to the rostrum. He finally gamboled up on a small pallet and placed his hands over the master's desk as he shouted out to the pupils:
"It's nice to see you again and I hope that your weekend were pleasant?!
Well, as you already know the exam period is closing in… I hope that you're doing well with your studies and that you feel prepared for two weeks up ahead?"
Is he kidding? I… accidently forgot all about that. And, on top of that… we have ten exams, two for each day!
"Actually…"
"Well…"
"You see…"
"Of course we are, right my fellows?!"
"Ehm…"
Pff, seems like I'm not the only one though, what a relief!
"Oh, well, then you better begin soon! Time won't wait for you, you know!
So, let's move on to the next subject. Today I will deepen your knowledge a bit about the Storm class's history. Beware, students!"
Break:
"Hey, Esmee!"
It was… wah, Kane! I pretended not to see him as I quickly turned my head around again and continued walking. Why would my heartbeat… raise like that anyway? Remember, Esmee, you two are just friends. I swallowed and thanked the concourse for being big as I gathered some courage before I halted and heard his second call for me.
"Hey!"
In prior to my awareness he placed a hand on my shoulder as I stiffened a little. Just the touch of his hand… wait, how come I acted normal before when we sat around the breakfast table?
Was it because we were surrounded by our group of friends? But… we aren't alone now either, right? I-I am just… imagining things, right?! I made my best in the action of calming down without his notice before I glanced up at him from ahead.
"Yes?"
"I was meant to ask you something, Esmee… Could we please meet up somewhere after school?"
He wants to-…
"S-sure…"
"Hey, why this drowsy facial expression?"
As he touched my forehead to make sure that I wasn't currently stuck up with a fever I felt how my cheeks slowly heated up, literally!
"No, I am fine…"
"You sure?"
Now he would even bring up his forehead closer to mine which was another way to check the temperature… It felt like my heart were about to explode!
"N-n-…"
"N?..."
"No!"
I couldn't control my own actions! I suddenly pushed him away and caused him to stumble down on the ground. Ashamed and awkwardly I would utter something like:
"I-I-I am… so sorry!"
I saw how other students in the Ravenwood district glanced at us as I lowered my head in shame and tried to bear with myself. I clenched my knuckles and wondered what the heck was wrong with me?
Kane on the other hand just sat up on the ground and seemed rather… disconcerted.
"Listen… I will make it! Just give me a meeting spot and time, then I'll be there!"
Maybe this would make up for my unexpected violence? He tilted his head for a moment before he… he smiled? And, laughed?
"Sure. How about Triton Avenue, five o'clock?"
"It's settled!"
I bowed down in respect and helped him up on his feet with an out stretched hand before I left the area.
(So, that was the first chapter. What is it that Isaac keeps hidden from the others and what is it that Kane has to tell Esmee? You'll surely find out in the next chapter so stay put! ;))
