Angel of destiny

I'm sitting in the car getting butterflies in my stomach, I was expecting a nice looking school but what I see in front of me is a miniature kingdom. Each brick is white as snow and perfectly cut, the school even has a water fountain sitting out the front. I glance at dad, 'you sure we're in the right place?' That's when I notice that his mesmerized by the fountain, in the middle of the fountain is an angel pushing up a gate but not alone, there is a female demon pushing as well. I pause looking at the detail in the angels face, 'that's mum, isn't it,' dad gives me a stiff nod, 'dad…' but he's already out of the car. Walking into the school was one of the scariest things I have done so far in my life, but the insides look a lot like out house. There are heaps of windows looking out to the manicured lawn, and everywhere I look its white, it's gross. I'm about to make a smart comment when a woman walks out in all her grace and greets dad with a low bow, that's right a bow. Dad nods his head in return, 'Spenta Armaiti, angel of holy devotion may I introduce my daughter Oriel, angel of destiny.' I pause and look at dad, what did he just call me? Spenta nods in my direction then looks back at my father, 'We will test her, but everything still depends on her performance.' Dad nods, 'She is ready.' I pause, they are going to get me to preform? I know Angels are big on music and dance but still, I look back up at dad. He smiles at me, then glances at his watch, 'time for me to depart, take care of her, Spenta.' With that he spins on his heels and walk out the huge front doors at a pace that should be illegal, he didn't even say good bye. The first thing I notice is that no one it touching me, more to the point they are avoiding me. What is going on? I'm the new girl, everyone is supposed to like me. Spenta walks with me till she directs me to a door with a number on it. 'This shell be your homeroom for now, you'll share most of your classes with the students in this class.' I look up at her, gee she is tall, 'I don't have any books or pens, or anything. I wasn't given a bag to bring,' she laughs, 'that's what you're me-mo-ry is for,' with that she pushes the class door open. I stand in front of about twenty five students, every single one of them has blue crystal eyes with gold flecks running through them and golden wavy blonde hair, the blonde ranging from white to a dull colour. Each girl has their hair in a lose bun, which still shows off the curves in their hair. Only demons have straight hair in the angel world, and they never like to tie it up. I stand there unable to move from their glassy stare, Spenta smiles at my discomfort, 'Everyone this is Oriel, angel of destiny.' There's that stupid angel of destiny again, I'm going to have to talk to dad about that. There are a lot of gasps and whispering among the golden students, their eyes are set on me. I swallow what seems to be a brick, and glance back at Spenta, she looks around the room, 'does anyone wish to offer a seat to our new student?' why is she doing this to me? I look at my feet, this is so embarrassing. Then to my relief a bell goes off, 'oh what a pity,' Spenta smirks at me, 'okay students could you make sure Oriel here gets to class safely.' She then spins on her heals and leaves the room, much like how dad left. I look up at the other students, they are all still watching me. I find my voice, 'Um, what do we have first….' I am interrupted by one of the bouncy blonds, 'is it true that you're a full angel?' All their eyes follow my every move, 'um, I guess. But isn't everyone here? An angel I mean.' The girl giggles, 'you're so clueless, it's so sad.' That comment was a slap in the face, 'I….' She laughs, 'we are all half angels, half human half angel. Where's you are full angel, well kinda.'

'She's like a new breed!' another boy chirps in. The girl laughs, 'yeah! Oh and how can we tell you're all of this, well not just from your looks. But from the way you're introduced, what was is… Oriel, angel of destiny! More like Oriel, angel of half breeds!' The whole class was laughing at this stage, it felt as if a pack of wolves had been set on me. I felt the tears coming on so I ran out of class.
