Hello and welcome to my story for nightschool! I hope you all enjoy readig as much as I did writing it! ^^
"Please show me your Night Pass." The Nightkeeper ordered. I pulled the
small pass out of my jean pocket. The Nightkeeper waved me by. I manuevered my
way through the crowded hallways of the Nightschool. Finally I found my locker.
My Astral popped out of my backpack and looked up at me. "Hi, girl." I said. I
handed my Astal an iced cookie. The ghost-like being devoured it in seconds. My
first class for the day was Weirn studies. In case you didn't know, Weirns are a
specific type of witch. We are born with a demon guardian- the Astral. It stays
with teir Weirn for life and protect them and such. Me and my Astral are best
friends to the end. I even named mine: Icy the Astal. Because she loves iced
cookies, see.
"Yo, Mika." I turned around swiftly. Cassidy stood behind me, a
broad friendly smile on his face. Cassidy seemed to have grown taller than I had
last seen him. He had spiky red hair and as many freckles on his face as there
are stars in the sky. He adjusted his glasses carefully. I shut my locker and
walked Cassidy to his class. Vampire Biology class, that is. This is strange
because Cassidy is a human. The students in our school range from Vampires to
Weirns to Demons to Werewolves to humans. Yes. Our school is quite different to
any school you go to.
"It's weird that you want to take a Vampire class. Why
not take regular biology?" I asked, curious. Cassidy shrugged. "I'm a smart
kid." He said. "I need some variety in my life, you know?" I chuckled. "Oh, I
know. I have Mr. Roi for Weirn studies remember?" Cass nodded. "Yeah. That crazy
old guy who accidentally blew up his lab during some spell? Yeah. I remember
him."
"He is a hazard to himself and other children. He definately picked the
right job." Me and Cassidy laughed. We had been friends since we could walk.
Ever since my dad left me, my mom and my sister, Cass was there to cheer me up.
I never told him about it, though. I didn't want to upset him any more than it
upset me. We stopped at his Vampre biology class. "See you later, okay?" He
nodded. I gave him a little hug and he literally ducked into his class to keep
from whacking his head on the door frame. I heard the warning bell in the
background. Shoot! I ran as fast as I could up two flights of stairs
three hallways and one kid I accidentally knocked over. (He's fine.) I swung
open the door and plopped into my chair. BRIIING! Just in time. Mr. Roi
was a man in his early forties or late thirties. He taught advanced Weirn
studies here in the Nightschool. He can be a pretty cool guy... you know, if he
doesn't set anybody on fire that is. Mr. Roi looked up from his book and took
attendance.
"Hey, you." A familiar voice called next to me. Having a Demon
friend like Tabai had to be the best thing ever. Tabai was very popular and
super-cute. she had long brown hair, red eyes and the best horns ever! She was
also very talented. An amazing dancer and artist. "Alright, settle down class."
Mr. Roi called to the class. "Today, we are going to learn the history of the
Astral." Icy, as if on cue, popped out and spun around, then posed as if to say
"That's me!"
"Now, let's turn to chapter 5 in your spellbooks..."
"What in
the heck do you think you're doing?" Cassidy froze, paying attention to
his surroundings. years of intense training have taught him to always look up
first. Up on top of a locker was Teresa. Her long dark hair in a braid and her
brown eyes narrowed. "Um... going to my next class?" Cass offered. Reese leaped
of the locker and stood in front of him, getting in his face. "Oh, stop playing
dumb. You know what I mean. You're making friends with that Weirn girl, aren't
you?" Cassidy gulped. How did she know? "Look, it's nothing to worry about.
Mika's a good kid. She wouldn't hur-"
"I knew this was a bad idea!"
Reese groaned, exasperated. "Teacher didn't send us to this puke-hole so you
could become Prom King, Cass! We have a job to do!" Cass sighed. "Yes, Reese. I
know that. Chill out. I'll keep my eye out for her. If anything seems
threatening, I'll take care of it, okay?" Reese huffed and stormed off. "Don't
try to be a lover boy!" She yelled. Cassidy shook his head. Classic Teresa.
Always so hot-headed and tense. Well, she was a Hunter after all. So was he.
