Lily's POV
It took the entire rest of the day to convince the leaders of the 'Elite Guardian Academy' that I would be the right choice to be the Guardian of Nessa because of how I got turned into a frog and Emma had to deal with the battle with the principle on her own.
Though after a while they gave in on the condition that I call once a week and give them a status update on both myself and Nessa.
I was quickly packing my bags from my dorm room when my annoying, popular, and very jealous roommate came in.
"Wow you just thought you were too good for us just because you got lucky and was the temporary guardian of "the chosen one"" she scoffed putting air quotes around "the chosen one".
I was about to snap at her about insulting Emma when I realized that's what she wanted and I simply said,"my reason for leaving the academy is none of your business".
"I knew it! You got expelled!" She yelled and I had it.
"If you must know I'm leaving to be the guardian of Nessa Majesty! Who is possibly more important to the good of the realm than the chosen one herself both of whom are better then you'll ever be!" I yelled and left with my bags in tow.
Nessie's POV
I walked home slowly and left late from school all to postpone seeing my "parents" who are going to be back from there vacation early.
When I opened the door and walked in I saw a broken glass on the floor and realized they were drinking again.
I inwardly groaned to myself as I heard yelling coming from the living room.
"Hey I'm going to go study at Rina's house bye!" I quickly said and almost made it out the door before my foster dad grabbed me harshly on shoulder.
I wanted to cry out in pain but I bit it back because I knew if I did it would only egg him on.
"Where do u think your going?" He slurred out.
"Upstairs" I yelled getting really angry.
He yelped in pain and his hand shot back from my shoulder that now seemed to be slightly glowing where my birth mark was.
I ignored it for now and ran upstairs dodging my foster moms attempts to grab me.
Quickly I changed out of my school uniform and put on a baby blue sundress that went down just above my knees and had extra fabrics on the skirt part so when I spin the fabric looks like it's floating, I put a cute white cardigan with 3 quarter sleeves over top.
I grabbed twenty bucks and started to head out the window until I saw Emma the new kid walk in front of my house and stop to knock on my door.
"Hey Emma! Up here!" I yelled to get her attention so she wouldn't knock on the door and face my very drunk "parents".
"Hey! I was just wondering if you wanted to come to my house to hang out" Emma yelled up.
"Sure I'll be right down just a sec" I yelled down.
I grabbed my cell phone and jumped out the window onto a small slanted part of a roof that covered the porch.
From there I grabbed onto the ledge and jumped off onto the ground where Emma stood there waiting and looking a little surprised.
"Wow that was pretty awesome" she exclaimed as we started to walk with her slightly in the lead.
"I have been doing gymnastics since I was 5" I told her.
"That's cool, I did ballet once when I was six" she shrugged.
We approached a nice two story house with a white picket fence and a garden in the front yard full of freshly blooming flowers.
"This is it" Emma said and we walked up the steps to her porch.
She opened the door and we got in just as her father who was the new principle at are school came down.
"Emma, is that Daniel I hear down there because I thought I said he wasn't allowed hear on school nights, or ever if you can help it" he shouted from halfway up the stairs.
"Dad! It's my new friend from school" she said and he came downstairs.
"Oh, hello nice to meet you I'm Mr. Alonso" he introduced with an outstretched hand.
"Hi, I'm Nessie" I smiled politely and shook his hand.
"Sorry Emma but I have to go to the school for a teacher meeting dinners in the freezer I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you tomorrow" he said,"and nice meeting you Nessie".
I was amazed by the simple act he just did, he apologized for something that wasn't even his fault and was so nice.
My parents never made supper, I made it or I didn't eat and no matter what they did they never apologized... Ever.
"Nice meeting you too Mr. Alonso" I waved as he headed out the door.
I spent the rest of the night hanging out with Emma scrapbooking until about 9:30 when I had to sneak back into my own house while my parents were passed out from drinking.
