I hope you like the story!
Lucinda Price was an ordinary giirl. She had an annoying little sister and an insanely boring mom. So, in her junior year, she recives a scholarship to a strange boarding happens to be a school for monsters! There she meets Soren, the were, Laurel, the fairy, Liza, the Cat Demon, and Ian, who well, Ian.
Little does she know that he has a secret and that, so does she. Soon kids start to mysteriously disappear. But why?
If you'd seen what I'd seen you'd understand. You'd understand why I couldn't do it. Why when I thought about it I felt like rabid butterflies inhabited my stomach as I thought about it. Why it felt like I couldn't breathe when I thought of it.
It all started with that day. The day that we met, again.
"Get up Rebecca!" My mother yelled and a heard a weird alarm sound.
"Rebecca, really?" I asked as she got up. My twin sister always needs Mom to yell to her, her alarm only succeeds in waking me up, even though I have another hour until I have to go out and start living in the dorm. At least I won't have a roommate who is obsessed with all these annoying tween stars.
"Rebecca Black isn't even a real singer." I said shaking my head.
"What like that horrible band Good Charlotte?" a hint of some other emotion was there. But my twelve year old sister was probably still angry that I got accepted to an expensive boarding school and she still attends the broken down school in my town.
So after getting dressed and having my mom drop Becca at school it was time for me to arrive at the airport and my plane to England. I know, I know, a boarding school in England, how original. But it's not like I asked for this school or even applied to the school, it turns out Dad was an alumni or his Dad was or something.
But we have no way to know. He left.
"Bye Mom. I will call you when I get there." I called boarding my plane. It was so exciting, I've never even left the little Massachusetts and now I was going to live in England.
So I sat down, took out a book and relaxed, I was in first class, the school not only gave me a scholarship but also paid for a first class flight. How amazing is that. I am totally the luckiest person ever.
A pixie like girl sitting in front of my turned my way. She smiled when she saw me. "I'm Laurel, so where are you going?"
"I'm a new student at Rockwell, the boarding school." She beamed at and laughed.
"I'm a senior there. So you're freshmen huh, first year of high school's hard but you're pretty. You look older then, freshmen, surprising." She said as if I were a math problem she had to figure out. So I took her in, short blond hair, petite, pretty green eyes.
"I'm actually a junior. I got an acceptance letter there in the mail over the summer and they offered a scholarship and first class seats. I'm not paying any money." I said with a shrug.
"A scholarship student?" she said, her eyes as shiny and wide as the moon.
Under her breath she whispered," It can't be."
But when I tried to look to her for an answer, she turned away and ignored me, not explaining the problem. So I decided to just sleep. Boy was it a comfy flight.
I was jolted awake, the sudden movement of the plan land on the runway. I had arrived, a new school, maybe I'll meet someone I really connect with, and I'll have a real friend.
In front of me Laurel looked at back and quickly nodded, "Bye Deylia." Quickly she walked away when I realized something.
"How did you know my name?" I asked but she was too far away to hear me. It was weird though, I didn't remember telling her that was my name, and I barely said more than twenty words to her.
I quickly exited the plane, with my two travel on bags plane, making my way to the luggage carousel. Fighting to get through and get my two suitcases, I thought about what I would do for a ride to the school. Suddenly I say a young man holding a sign at the doors, he was scanning the crowd.
Deylia Beau
He was tall and had a lean and athletic body. Brown hair and sparkling grey eyes and a forty watt smile. He must not be here for me but the second he spied me he pulled out a card and after inspecting it for a second motioned me over.
When I arrived right in front of him he smiled and asked me "You're Deylia Beau, right? I'm Soren."
"Yeah, but it's Lucinda Price, my mom changed it when I was eight." I said shyly and his eyebrows furrowed.
"Why'd you change your name? I mean your name was so beautiful. If I were a girl, I'd love to have such a name. Well luv, I think it'd be best if we started going." And so he led me out to a limo, I stared, a limo, here, to pick me up.
The drive was long, a whopping three hours. For the first two hours and a half, he was silent but then he got curious. He started looking back at me, quick glances at the mirror to inspect me. Finally he got over his shyness.
"So, what were you accepted for? Me, I'm a scholarship student and you know, taking care of the rich kids is my job and burden. But you've got to be special, first class, a chaperone. What'd your parents pay for?" he asked and I was shock4ed he was a scholarship student.
"I'm a scholarship student too." I said to him sheepishly and he turned around quickly, his face a mask of shock and awe. Like he was a paleontologist who had just found a rare fossil.
"Really? Wow, Kudos to you." He said shaking his head when I thought of something.
"Do you know a girl named Laurel?" I asked and he squinted one eye and looked up trying to remember. He actually appeared to be doing this seriously although it was pretty funny looking pretty funny.
"I do, when you know more on this girl, like a full name then come to me. And if you need a group to sit with, mine would be glad to have you." We smiled and I was happy, I'd made a friend and he seemed as true blue as they come.
But the school and the students definitely were not what I expected. Both were very magical.
