A fourteen-year-old blonde girl wiped her sweaty brow as she continued running on the treadmill per request. She wondered what running had to do with entering the school, but she didn't dare ask because, quite frankly, the burly Asian man scared her.
"Alright, that's good," the girl stepped off the treadmill and grabbed the cup of water that the man handed to her and gulped the water down.
"Follow me." She followed the man down the hall and into a room filled with desks. A tall redhead then handed her a bunch of papers.
"You have one hour to finish this test. Good luck," the woman smiled encouragingly at her as she sunk into a chair and began writing furiously.
And that was how Kristen Winters began her first day at P.O.E. Academy. Walking outside she took a seat on an empty bench and waited. She was told that someone was supposed to come and show her around. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to relax after all of her testing. Not even two minutes later though, she was startled by a shrieking brunette.
"Hey! You must be, like, the new transfer, Kristy!"
"Um, actually…" Kristen tried to interrupt, but the bubbly brunette just kept going.
"Welcome to P.O.E., my name is Kailey, Kailey Oliver," she introduced herself, sticking out a toned and tan arm. Kristen gripped it firmly.
"Kristen, Kristen Winters, not Kristy." Kailey blushed, but just shrugged her embarrassment off.
"Sorry, I can be kind of forgetful sometimes. I almost forgot to come get you!"
"Well, I for one am glad you didn't." The two girls laughed and Kailey began giving Kristen a tour of the campus.
"And now, here we have the Black Dorm," Kailey waved her hand around the aforementioned hallway. At first, Kristen was confused by the color system. Apparently the students were divided by color at this school, not by age, as Kailey explained. A student's color was determined by the results of his or her entrance exams. Kailey was a Pink, but Kristen wasn't really sure what that meant, or what specialty Kailey had. Kristen wondered what her color would be…if she even got in, that is. But she liked to have a positive outlook and believed that she passed.
Just then, a door directly to Kristen's left opened and a tall brunette came barreling out, almost bowling Kristen over if not for a quick side-step maneuver on his part.
"Watch it, Bradley!" Kailey snipped.
"Sorry, sorry," he said, barely paying the two girls any attention. Kailey rolled her chocolate colored eyes.
"Sorry, that's my brother, Brad Oliver."
"What, is everyone here an Oliver?" Kristen remarked. Kailey let out a giggle.
"No, but there are quite a few of us. In fact, my father is the Headmaster, both him and my mother helped start this school," Kailey smiled fondly at the thought of her parents. As they entered the cafeteria, the redheaded lady from earlier approached them.
"Congratulations! You passed! You're a Pink,' she told Kristen. Kristen smiled.
"Great! What does that mean?" Kailey bounced up and down, a mega-watt smile gracing her delicate features.
"That means you're my new roomie! I'm the only Pink without one! Gosh, this is so exciting! Come on, I'll show you to our room…" the vivacious girl led her away, still chattering excitedly. When Kristen was finally able to get a word in edgewise, she only had one question.
"So, what does P.O.E. stand for?"
"Protectors of the Earth."
