Two chapters in one day! Yay!
Stella's POV
I just finished telling Bloom how she had to pretend to be Princess Varanda of Callisto in order to get past Ms. Griselda when she flipped out. Bloom pointed to a girl with light orange hair that was waist length and straight. She had bangs and green eyes. "That's Melanie, a girl from my school! She's a fairy too?" Apparently so! "Well, I'd say she has to be some sort of magical being, otherwise she never would've gotten past the barrier!" Bloom had a worried look in her eyes. "If she notices me, she could expose my identity and ruin the whole plan! Maybe we just shouldn't bother. I'm fine with going back to Gardenia." I stopped her. "No chickening out! You'll never learn how to use your powers that way! Now come on, 'Varanda!' Let's go sign in!" Headmistress Faragonda gave her speech again and we headed for our dorms. On the way upstairs, I explained the three magic schools to Bloom. We discovered that we actually had dorms next to each other. Bloom had a roommate, but I had my room all to myself! Or so I thought! On the sign outside my dorm, the only name listed was mine, but Bloom and I walked in to find Melanie sitting at a desk in the room. "Oh hi Bloom! Isn't this place cool? I've always dreamed of going to a fancy boarding school like this!" Ok, yeah, Alfea's great. I should know, I got held back. But why is she in my room? "In case you didn't see the sign outside, it says 'Princess Stella of Solaria,' and no other name is listed. Meaning, you're in my room, now leave!" Melanie grabbed her bags and walked out. "Fine, with you as my partner, why would I wanna stay?" She walked by Bloom and whispered something to her, making Bloom laugh. She headed down the hall. I didn't ask Bloom what she said. Honestly, I don't want to know. Bloom went into her room. "I guess I'd better move in!" She had a close encounter with her room partner, Flora, and her talking plant, which almost resulted in Bloom revealing herself. Then we met Tecna, a girl who lives on the other side of my room, and her roommate, Musa. We all decided to get to know each other, so we planned to go out for dinner in Magix City. Bloom wanted some weird food from Earth called "pizza." It sounded good enough, so we agreed on it. "Wait." Bloom announced. "Maybe we should invite Melanie." Really? Tecna was confused. "Who's Melanie? Her name isn't on the class list." Bloom worked out her sentence in her head so she could keep her lie going. "Melanie is my friend from Callisto. She's not on the class list because she registered late. And Stella gave her a hard time, so I think it's only fair that you two start over!" I nodded, but I didn't like this idea. Before Tecna could throw logic back at her, Bloom searched the school until she found Melanie. She told her that she had to pretend Bloom was Princess Varanda of Callisto. "Ok, everyone, this is Melanie! Melanie, meet Flora, Musa, Tecna, and, you've met Stella." Flora waved shyly. Musa said "Hi!" and shook her hand. Tecna asked her some question that none of us understood and Melanie didn't bother to answer. "Hi. I think we got off on a bad start! I'm Stella! Sorry about earlier!" She nodded. "I forgive you. Blo...Varanda told me you didn't mean what you said." I still felt bad about what happened. "Hey, if you still want to be my roommate, then you're welcome to stay." Her face lit up. "Thank you!" Wow, her assigned roommate must have been awful! "Where is your official room anyway?" She froze up and looked around the room. "Uh, I'm starving! Let's go get that pizza!" We all laughed and got on the bus to Magix. I could tell this was going to be way better than last year! I haven't blown anything up yet!
