How a Fangirl and a not so big Fangirl Trains a Dragon 2
Chapter2: Normal point of view
Michelle woke up early the next day and sadly got ready. She knew this is the day Gaby will be moving back to New Jersey. She felt kind of sad just like when she told her she's moving away and she had two of school without her. Of course it is different. Michelle has Luna by her side and she can take her to see Gaby or vice versa. Hopefully they can still go to Dragon Training. This won't be easy now that they both have high school to begin with.
Michelle didn't eat much of her cereal as she sat down in the kitchen and just twirled her spoon in the milk. Her mom came down and sadly looked at her.
"Michelle." she said stepping in the kitchen. Michelle looked up and smiled a "good morning".
"Are you ok?" her mom, Rose, asked in a concerned tone.
"Ugh...yeah sure. Why wouldn't I be?" Michelle asked trying to be in a good mood.
"You look sad." Michelle sighed but gulped down the milk, wiped her mouth with her hand, went to the sink and washed the spoon and bowl she used. "It's nothing." she says finally breaking the silence.
Rose sat down at the table and Michelle sat facing her. "I know it's hard for you." she says sympathetically.
"No it's not. I'm fine, really." Michelle said in a nervous tone. She didn't want to admit she's been having a hard time. Her best friend moved away once before and it's not like she won't see her again.
She got up and was about to go upstairs when Rose turned around and asked. "Where are you going?"
"To my room." Michelle said not bothering to turn around or stop, and in a groggy voice.
"I thought you wanted to say goodbye to Gaby. We'd have to go now."
Michelle stopped automatically in realization and sighed. "Ok, we go now?"
"Yes. I'll go tell daddi to get to the car."
"Mom is it ok if I ride Luna?" Michelle looked down at the ground. Her mom smiled. "Sure." Ziggurastica flew and landed on her shoulder.
Michelle smiled and said "Thanks." before going out the backyard door. Her mom looked at Ziggurastica and motioned her head in Michelle's direction, and he flew to there already.
Michelle opened the door and waked down the stairs, one hand on the rail. Ziggurastica flew right by to her shoulder. Michelle gasped hearing a fluttering of wings and looked around to see if i was a bug, but when she saw it was her little friend she smiled a relief. "Hey Ziggurastica." she turned to her, and her best friend's, dragon who was sleeping in her backyard. "Hey Luna." her greeting woke the dragon up.
Michelle smiled and scratched the dragon who purred at her touch. "We have to go to Gaby's house now. She's moving." Michelle looked at the grass in thought sadly. Luna tapped her with her tail, snapping her off her trance. "I'm ok Luna, really." unfortunately Luna can see through Michelle's words. She nudged her comfortanigly and Michelle stroked the smooth scales.
"Don't worry Luna. I'll be ok, plus we can still see eachother and go to Dragon Training. Come on, let's go." Michelle got on Luna and Ziggurastica held on to her shirt. They took offalready. Michelle saw below, as they fly, her parents in the car. She waved at them and they waved back. They both went at the same speed, catching up with eachother, until they arrived at Gaby's house.
Gaby sat by the car her family was in and waited. Her mom sat ther thinking she and said outloud "maybe we should go now."
Gaby turned to her mom, Nancy. "No mom they'll come." Her mom sighed but they continued waiting. After a few minutes Gaby was about to open the door and get in the car when she heard familiar wings flapping and smiled.
Michelle landed and her parents parked their car nearby, and got out. "Couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye." Michelle said as she got off Luna. Nancy came out and greeted Rose and they talked.
"So I guess this is it then." Gaby said.
"Yeah." Michelle shrugged.
"Well we can still see eachother at Training and you will text me right?"
"Everyday." Michelle nodded.
"It's time to go Gaby." Nancy said, after saying goodbye to Rose, and went in the car.
"Ok mom." Gaby petted Luna smiling. "I'll see you again soon, bye Luna." she hugged their dragon and turned to Ziggurastica. 'I'll miss you as well." she took the small dragon in her hands and gently stoked him with her thumb.
After gently placing him on Luna's head, not that it bother's her, she faced Michelle. "Well goobye...again."
"Well more like a see you tomorrow." Michelle said with a laugh. The two girls then smiled and hugged. "No matter what happens, we'll always be best friends." Michelle said and they let go. Gaby then got in the car and looked at her best friend one last time. "Goodbye Michelle." she said, just as when she first moved away, and Michelle just smiled and wave as her first responce. The car then drove and they watched as it goes. "Goodbye Gaby." Michelle said mostly to herself.
Michelle's point of view:
It's been a few days since Gaby moved away, again. Like we planed Luna takes me to Gaby's place or her to my place and we go to Dragon Training together. We told everyone there we have to go to school, but we can still squeeze in Training after that each day. Mary and Bob said they'll take care of Training in the morning and we can continue in the afternoon, or check up on it.
It was finally first day of high school. Like I said it was closer to home. The uniforms here are kind of like the ones at my old school. I wore a white cotton shirt with the school name written on it in small script, black slacks, and white sneakers today. I wore my Fairy necklace I got at a Medieval Times trip and my crystal necklace for luck. My parents let me use the Harry Potter bag we keep as my school bag.
I was in the car as my parents drove me to school. I said goodbye to Luna and Ziggurastica before leaving, and made sure he didn't sneek away to go to school with me. He can a mischief most of the time.
We pulled up to the parking lot of the school and I got out of the car, grabbing my bag. I placed it on my shoulder, it was a shoulder bag that had a secret compartment containing straps that turns it to a backpack, and began walking to the school.
"Goodbye Michelle." mom called and I just turned, smiled, and waved. I then walked into the building, feeling nervous since it's my first day at a new school. What if I don't do good? What if I barely pass and almost go too summer school like last year. It was a miracle I didn't fail math. I have a complicated relationship with it.
As I walked in "Dragon Training" was playing in my head. I stopped and looked at the school. Somehow I felt braver and more confident. I mean I'm not one of theose teenagers who care about what people think of them or fitting in. I sure won't be. I breathed in and started walking. "No turning back." I said to myself.
I entered and was guided into the gym where other students were there. Probably a welcome meeting was gonna be held. I sat at seat I was assigned to and hung my bag, and the blue fleecec jacket I was wearing outside, behind me. I just waited as others came in and the meeting's about to start.
A woman, who announces as to be the pricipal, came up and welcomes students who've gone to this school before back and the new students to the school. She, other faculty members, and student faculty members who greeted us, talked about high school and how it's like a "home away from home". They tell of future exams we'll be taking as students and preperations for them start right now from the lessons they'll teach. They say how they'll help prepare for our future and help us go to collage.
As the people talk I thought to myself "What exactly will I do with my life?". I mean I'm not so sure what can I do or what I can be when I grow up. Well, I do like writing and drawing. Maybe I could be a writer or an artist, or both. I do like the movies, maybe I could work with something like that. I remember when I was little I said I wanted to be a singer when I grow up, but I doubt of that now, kind of. I still have Dragon Training to do. Is that what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life? It's not that I don't love it, it's just...
I came out of my thoughts when I realized we have to go to our home-rooms now. The rest of the meeting came by quickly. We all took some time to meet other students and I saw some classmates from my old school. It's nice to see some familiar faces. I also met some students who are pretty cool. Maybe I'll make some new friends this year. I followed some students and found my home-room. "Room 110." I said to myself as I looked at the flag above labeling it and entered. I saw some students are already in and sat at a seat of my choice, up in the front so I can see the blackboard better. I have trouble seeing from far distances and it was hard taking notes at my old school when I sit in the back.
A woman came in with short blond hair and wearing glasses. She smiled friendly and stood in front of the desk, in front of the black board. "Good morning class and welcome to Saint Catharine Academy. I'm Mrs. Cassaneto, your homeroom teacher. I believe I'll also be your Algebra teacher to some of you.". She seemed nice already.
She handed us things we need to know on our first day of school, like certain supplies, our class scheduale, even some letter talking about a program that can give us some lessons on the last exams we'll be taking. We were also given a lock for our locker, the number of the locker we're assigned to, it's locatin, and it's combination. We left the class to go find ours. I huffed when I learned that the lockers were numbered in order from least to greatest in the rooms from lowest to highest and my locker was in the third floor. I have to climb all these stairs to get to my locker! I'll be sweating by the time I get to class.
I walked up all the stairs, almost panting and sweating, and when I reached the floor to my locker I stopped in exhaustion. "Gods." I muttered to myself and took some breathing before going in the hall where I finally found my locker. I clipped the lock and tried the combination the teacher gave us, but it didn't open. I frowned and turned the lock around three times before trying it again, it didn't work. I looked over at the combination to see if I got it right and tried again, but once again it didn't work!
What's wrong with it? I huffed and turned to other students who were trying their lockers. A girl walked by and asked if I needed help.
"Yeah I'm having some trouble." I said feelig embarrassed. I showed her my combination, I hope she wouldn't use that information to someday go through my locker someday, and she tried it. It didn't work and she tried again. Eventually another student came and tried it, and it finally opened. Now I see what the problem is I didn't turn it the right way. I usually have troubles with these kind of locks and my mom would open the locker I use when I go to swimming lessons. I said "thanks" and the two smiled and left.
We all then came back to our home-rooms and the bell rang, signaling it's time to go to the next class. I went through different classes and met new teachers. They all seemed pretty nice as the home-room teacher. The rest of the day went by quickly, considering it was a short day of school, and before I knew it. I twas time to go home.
I walked out of the school building and went in my parents car. They asked about my school day and I said it was ok. I knew it was the begining of my busy days. I went home and was greeted by the sight of my two cats and Ziggurastica. I gave them each a quick pet and asked my parents if Luna was here.
"She is, but don't you want any lunch?" mom asked.
"Umm..." I thought about it. "I'll get lunch with Gaby at Training." I said.
"Ok but change out your uniform first. I want to wash it." With pleasure.
I ran upstairs and quickly changed into a a pair of black shorts, a hot pink sleeveless shirt, and black croc sandels. I dumped my uniform in the hamper, except for the slacks which I hung in the closet, and went out, still taking my bag with me.
I went into the backyard but there was no sign of Luna. I looked around but she wasn't there. "Luna!" I called, but was suddenky tackled from behind. I gave a quick yelp, looked up and saw a familar face. "Well hello to you too." I said sarcstically. Luna jumped off, and I dusted myself off. I smiled as Luna nudged me a "hello" and I petted her. "I missed you too." I said and got on and we took off, Ziggurastica flew close by. He was with me when I came out.
We then flew to new Jersey, which wasn't much of a long ride. I get to listen to some music on the way. We went to Gaby's house, she gave us the address, and I knocked on the door. Gaby came out and smiled. I said "Hey." and she hugged me in greeting.
"Hey Michelle. So we go to Training?"
"Yeah." I smiled looking forward to it.
She got on Luna behind me and we went off. Gaby and I waved goodbye to her parents, who were at the door as well, and they waved back. We were flying towards the secret Training Ring. It felt good flying. I felt less stressed and carefree.
"So how are liking high school?" I asked Gaby, turning to face her.
"Ugh don't remind me."
