A/N: Warning this is the first fic I've ever written and a majority of it was done in early high school, so anything you read right now may be heavily revised in the future seeing I'm currently rewriting this, other than that, please enjoy.

"So..are you sure you really wanna do this?" This was the first time Evangeline had spoken to me during our entire trip here and I, looking out the window, caught up in the beauty of the nature surrounding us, had to take a second longer then it should of been to answer.

As result she repeated the question to me in a far more serious tone then her usual cheerful one. "So..are you sure you really wanna do this?"

I was scared by this. I am not used to her being serious. "Y-yes." It was a simple word holding a great amount of meaning. One which I would constantly take for granted. I had the misfortune of speaking the first words that would come to mind under pressure, or well just most situations in general. That and stuttering...

I couldn't help it.

I just felt like that would be the most honest answer coming from a person like me who tends to over think things and make horrid decisions as result at times. I would always wind up angry at myself for it at first, but then realized that its far too late for me to change my opinion.

My life was full of important decisions and I needed to give answers.

Or perhaps not so much anymore.

So I understood the reason why she kept asking this question to me. A decision as big as the one I made can't be made without long thought. So I thought, and thought, and like usual over thought, but even so, I thankfully couldn't find a reason good enough to say no.

And still, I thought back to the very first time I made the decision.

I remember the day I brought it up very clearly. Evangeline was ecstatic. Pacing around the room speaking in glee about the academy. Most of the words she spoke made no sense to me in the slightest. She refuse to teach me anything about magic. I think mostly cause she would wind up being away a good amount of the time.

It was definitely her glee that made me happy for my decision back then and even now I can't help, but feel anxiously happy. So this time I speak again, with a lot more confidence. "Yes, I wish to do this Eva."

I wouldn't regret this decision, I was sure of that.

"Alright then, we shall be there soon okay?" And I couldn't help but smile at her words. She always seem to speak with such a great amount of joy, like a small child in a new place. She could never sit or stand in one place too long and her eyes were always darting around the room just enjoying simply being wherever she was at the given moment.

So I was quite scared whenever she would drive us anywhere...we were always sidetracked by something she saw. At least, thankfully not this time.

Still for being so old she truly looks and acts very young. I wonder how long she's been alive? I wonder how long I will live? People with magic seem to age so slowly after a while. Eva is a prime example for sure, she still look like she was in her early thirties, but I knew that she was far, far older.

I really want to ask, but I shouldn't. Eva might kill me if I do...

So instead I let my thoughts wander and I recall what we talked about a few weeks ago.

"Alright then, perhaps I should explain more. Well first off your sister was not the first to go there, your mother was." My mother? It was a big shock. One Eva rarely spoke about my mom, and well two...

"I thought she gave up magic..." When did she exactly give up magic then?

"Ah, that was some time after she left the academy, you can give up magic any time in your life, you just can't change your decision afterwards." Oh... Eva was pacing the room, she stopped though and pondered something in her head. "Yeah...she was about 23 I think...yeah I think that's right."

Some of her hair fell in front her face, like usual, and she pushed the bright blue strands away. "Anyway...the academy is pretty ordinary, well except there is not actual curriculum." W-what? "Like there is set classes per year, but you get to choose which ones to take each week? I think its a great system you can learn at your own pace and study what you think is important to know."

I sighed at that. As amazing as that all sounded I couldn't help, but to be troubled by it. How in the world would I know if I was doing the right thing? What if all I learned that I thought was important was actually useless in the end?

"Aw, don't get all mopey about it you'll do just fine! Freshman year is super easy." Eva was so sure that I would do good, and so I stopped worrying about it.

"Uh wait...did you go to Iris Academy?" She said my mom was the first to go there so she couldn't of had, that and well she is really old.

"No, but man I really wish I did. This academy is fairly new, the old one though, yeah I happened to go to." Oh. "Petunia and me did attend the old academy together before though."

"What happened to the old academy?"

She chuckled. "That...is a long story, lets just say the old headmistresses died and left no one in charge. So Petunia became headmistress and changed everything."

"And when was that?"

"Oh 50? Maybe 60 years ago? So not very long." That sounds very long to me!

"Oh...wait that's right!" Whats right? "Almost forgot to tell you, but the guy Violet was with before she, you know, died. Works there at that academy."

"What..." Why?

"Yeah he is very moody..." Oh.

"So...I will get to talk to him when I get to the academy?"

Eva actually for once looked shocked. "...Rather you not...wait!" She laughs. "Yeah actually talk to him, get to know him well if possible, it might do some good." Well she changed her opinion quickly.

"Um okay..." It couldn't hurt. Who knows we could end up being good friends.

The car suddenly stops. "Alright here you go! Grab your things and walk down that pathway, you will winds up on the academy grounds." Huh? Well alright then.

I grab my belongings and get out of the car. "Well I guess seeya Eva, love you." I wave goodbye and start heading down the pathway.

Taking notice of my surrounding I am filled with joy. There is so many beautiful trees, flower, and other plants all around me. I think in my head of all the plant I know and the time of season they grow. These plants they are completely out of season and some don't even look normal in the slightest. Magic plants?

Either way wow magic can do some really amazing things. After a while I hear other peoples voices, well I guess that means I am really close to the school now.

I hurry ahead starting to feel anxious again and soon afterwards arrive. ...This place is so large! I wonder which way I am suppose to go? I continue walking and bump straight into another person. "Ah, so sorry!" I back away and look up. The first thing I notice is his eyes, I think they are copper colored? Still they are really beautiful.

Wait...is he a professor...oh no.

He smiles at me, oh maybe he isn't upset. "New student I see, what is your name?" Oh what really lovely British accent he has.

I smile back. "I-iris Araceli sir." Why in the world am I stuttering? I mean I suppose he does look nice, but still.

His smile fades. Did I say something odd? He starts flipping through pages of his book. Is he looking for my name? He stops on a page and finally looks up at me again. "Miss Araceli, Wildseed I see, I shouldn't of expected anything other then that. You are a complete waste of my time seeing you will throw away all that has been given to you." Excuse me?

What did I do wrong? What even is a Wildseed? Is this some sort of magical term? Still not nice to call a person weird names. He slams the book shut and I don't flinch in the slightest. I stare angrily at him now.

I apologized shesh why did he become so rude?

He looks at me angrily. "Ten demerits not a promising start indeed. I surely hope you're better at your studies rather then you are with walking otherwise you will be expelled before the year end."

Well then! I suppose he expected to run away scared or something cause his expression shifts for a moment. Finally he mutters something under his breath, turns, and leaves.

Great I think I just made an enemy of a professor on the very first day of school. Well hopefully I won't have to see that professor ever again.

After a while I set off to find my dorm room. It seems I am in Horse hall. I did read a bit about the hall meanings. Butterfly hall is for elegant girls, Snake hall is for mysterious girls, and last, Horse hall is for...stubborn girls. Well they have me pegged, I really can't disagree especially with what I just did. When I arrive at my hall I notice the many doors on each side along with the many windows that pear out onto the academy grounds.

Well then, now I have to find my room number. I search around a bit before finding my room and opening the door.

I look around the room and notice how empty the room is except the the desks and chairs. Well I guess the beds take up a good amount of space, but still... I guess they leave the rooms bland so you can change the appearance yourself? I hear someone ruffling through something and then notice a girl sitting on one of the far corner beds. She is wearing the same uniform as me, has short blonde hair, and last I noticed her golden brown eyes. She seemed like a kind person or I really hope. I kinda don't wanna deal with awful roommates.

She is far too occupied with whatever she is doing, I doubt she realizes I even entered the room. I should say something. "Hey there, so...I am guessing your a horse too, nice." Actually perhaps, I shouldn't have said anything at all. How embarrassing I feel like turning around and walking straight back down that hallway I came from.

Her face, now turned towards me, is bright red. Okay maybe uh change subject? "So...uh your my roommate right?" Of course she is! Oh goodness I am so awkward I need to shut up entirely.

"Yes, though I am only one of them, Virginia is the other one. I think she left to speak with someone outside." Huh really? I don't recall seeing anyone else in the hallway on the way here...did I space out again?

I didn't know how to continue the conversation so I was thankful for Ellen finding a new topic to bring up, and thus we talked out where we are from, what our hobbies were, and a bunch of other things to pass the time. When the topic about family came up, I refrain from saying much, though it seemed Ellen wasn't particularly thrilled about it either. It was around then I heard her say something about being a Wildseed.

"What is a Wildseed? I was called that earlier by a professor and I wasn't quite sure what it meant. ...It doesn't mean anything offensive right?"

I hear a girl's voice from behind me and jump a bit. "Wildseed it kinda means your a wildflower in a field of plain ones? Like see most of the people in your life were not magical, but for some reason you are though." Ohh...I suppose that makes some sense? Then again, am I truly one? A part of my family is magical...oh well.

The girl speaks proudly. "I'm from a magical family so I knew I would have magic from the start, by the way my name is Virginia." Oh I suppose she is my other roommate then. I shake hands with her and she smiles brightly. She seems really kind and pretty too. Curly dark red hair and purple eyes, huh her skin is only a bit darker then mine.

I smile back. "Nice to meet you Virginia my name is Iris Araceli. So...there is nothing bad about being a Wildseed right? The professor I ran into earlier was quite upset that I was one."

Virginia laughs loudly. Huh, did I say something odd? "Ohhh you must have met Grabby, don't worry about him he just hates everyone." Everyone really? I think its quite impossible to manage to hate every single person you meet. Asides he didn't seem that bad just grumpy really.

Ellen speaks fearfully. "...Um wait...he doesn't grab students...right?"

Virginia laughs even louder now. "No, no, no! His last name is Grabiner, but most students just call him Grabby." Ellen relaxes while I freeze up entirely.

Oh no...wait is he? Oh goodness, so is the one Eva spoke to me about? He already thinks badly of me, how am I going to talk to him? No...he was just in a bad mood that is all, he will probably forget about what happened today soon so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Virginia continues to speak telling us about her older brother William, who is now a senior here. He is apparently very kind and generous unlike her younger brother Donald, a freshman like us, who is quite mischievous. She then goes on about all the crazy antics she got involved into because of him.

Kind of reminds me of my little sister, she was always in some sort of trouble. I wonder how she is doing, I hope she is well.

I hope she is happier now that I am gone.

The conversation topic changes yet again while I was lost in my thoughts. What I can gather from it is that Virginia is great a soccer while Ellen is good at volleyball.

Virginia turns to me. "So are you good at any sports?" I wince. More like a failure of many things at once. ...Wait I did manage to do fairly well at track when I was still in school that and- "Fencing and track. Though I am better at fencing." Unless I am sparing with Eva then I am horrid, for she is a pro at well, everything.

Runs in the family, mostly.

Virginia jumps up. "Awesome! We should all make a sports club!" A what? Did I missing something else in the conversation? I turn to Ellen and she is just as confused as me, good I didn't miss anything else.

"I suppose its a lovely idea." Hopefully it will stay as an idea, I rather not make a utter fool of myself. I am fairly clumsy and have the worst of luck. I am surprised myself by how well I was at track and fencing. I don't wish to find out how horrible I still am at many other things.

More time passes by and Virginia brings up her brothers again, which leads to her wanting us to go and visit them. "I...haven't finished unpacking yet." Virginia whines. "Aw come on you can do that later!" I suppose so...making more friends does sound nice. "Alright then lets go!" After that me, Ellen and Virginia set off down the hallway. Huh, I may of had a bit of a unfortunate morning, but now everything seems a lot better now.
