Chapter 5
APOV
We chatted with the Burksleys, Darnwells, Fitchs, and Killeens for a while more, talking about gifts, boyfriends, husbands, hunting, and more, not having to hide our true selves around the others. I love the fact that we don't need to tell loads of lies around these people, and that we can be honest, and they can trust us, and I really think I will make some real school friends, that aren't my family.
I have to admit I am glad that the others know about us because although Bella's looks have changed, unfortunately her acting skills haven't greatly improved since her change.
I can tell I will get along just fine with Andi and Bob, those two have sooooo much energy, just like me! And I know I will also really like Flora, Esmané, Annalie, and Nel too. Flora had a fabulous Prada tote school bag; Esmané was wearing Mui Mui heels, Annalie was wearing a Dolce and Gabbana wrist watch and Nel had obviously altered her uniform, like I had with my family's uniforms too.
The bell rang and the others had to leave to go to reg., whilst Andi continued to give us the tour of the school. My family and I ran up the stairs revelling in the fact we didn't have to hide our speed, knowing Andi could keep up (after all we all saw how fast she could run when she saw Tom).
We reached the top of the stairs, and looked round for Andi, only to see her walking up the stairs at a human pace.
"Why are you walking?" I asked her.
"Duh!" she rolled her eyes teasingly, "We have to go back to class after the tour is over. I really, really, really, don't want to go back to Maths."
She pouted, and crossed her arms in a two year old manner.
We laughed at her and slowed to walk at a human pace.
"This is the English department," Andi guided us, sounding very much like a tour operator.
"Here we learn how to levitate quills, so we don't actually have to write anything, just think it. You have to think clearly, and carefully though, and not think about anything else otherwise you could end up with an assignment on Charles I with your thoughts of what you want for tea in. The quills are really useful though, and they really save you from hand cramp in exam week, as no-one has to write a thing, unless you take English writing class."
My family looked awed, apart from Bella, who bit her lip, which is her signature move when she's stressed.
"Are you sure we can learn to do all this? I mean, we haven't done any of this before, and we aren't like you." She asked worriedly. Silly Bella, she hasn't learnt that as a vampire we can learn anything, and succeed at it, yet.
Andi laughed and pulled Bella into a hug "Of course, vampires are as much a part of the magical and mythical society as we are! As long as you got the magic, it's all about the mind!" Bella looked comforted and breathed a sigh of relief, then grinned.
"Well then, if that's the case, No More Pens!"
Andi giggled once more and told us to move on.
"This here is the languages corridor." She said leading us down a corridor with posters of languages with symbols never seen before.
"Here we learn many different languages: Animal speak, for all different animals in all different countries (so you can actually learn pig Latin!); Future languages (thanks to our Physic department);"
I grinned as Andi said that, I know I will fit in there!
Andi continued with her list, "…Tribal languages; Extra terrestrial languages (very useful on the field trips with the geography department); the usual modern languages (Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and all of the languages on earth); and some MM tongues that I can't pronounce (MM is short for magical and mythical by the way) but they are fairy, pixie, troll, gnome and centaur," She finished.
OMG! I have got to learn pixie! How cool would that be??
Andi grinned as she saw my reaction and led us further into the school. "This is the drama department. This gives great lessons for those wishing to pursue a career that involves interacting with humans." Perhaps we should get Bella to take those classes- she really needs the help!
"Not to mention its great costume department thanks to our enchanters!" Our tour guide continued, and then walked on, signalling for us to follow.
"This is art. We are developing new substances to paint with; currently we are combining silk, silver alkali based substances, and unicorn hair to make a paint which actually gives off light- not just reflects it, with a silk finish. Oh and we also discovered 2 new colours, that weren't on the original spectrum!"
When Andi said those last few words, millions of new ideas sprung into my head. Now how am I ever supposed to choose between all those ideas? I'll find a way!
The sound of a door opening snapped me out of my trance, as Andi told us to follow her once more.
This time she lead us outside to a sleek new building, that even Esme would be proud of (and she can be a complete perfectionist- look up picky in the dictionary, and there may just be a picture of Esme- Emmet actually did put her picture under picky once, and she blew her top!)
"This is the Tech block," Andi indicated the shiny floors and sleek designed building, "here we're making new fabrics, sewing machines, computer design, and of course we still do the typical dress making, scrapbooking, wood tech and DT,"
YAY! I LOVE DT! I squealed and everyone laughed at me. Well, they'll be thanking me later when I design their new wardrobes! Apart from maybe Bella, but she'll live.
Andi led us back to the main building into a huge room where prima ballerinas were dancing gracefully to classical music. Of course, it was made more interesting by the fact that they had wings!
On the other side of a clear curtain, street dancers ran up walls whilst break dancers spun round on their heads and hands to soldja boy.
"This is the dance hall," Andi un-necessarily pointed out "the curtain is sound proof to those on either side, so they can't hear each other, thanks to the tech department," I think I will have to get some of that for Edward and Bella's room so Eddie can play his music, and also because Bella isn't entirely over her new born stage so she and Edward can be pretty noisy! Honestly, I don't know how Nessie sleeps at night!
Once again we walked out of the main block and into an absolutely huge building "This is our sports facility. We have all the equipment we could need to hold our own Olympics, but it would look weird holding the 2012 Olympics in a school! We also have some extra things such as the 100 miles forward wing flap, and the 4x4 500miles airborne. The Olympic stadium would never fit into any normal school, but we thought: we could, so we should! Et voila! One Olympic stadium! Actually it's a bit bigger than Olympic size because we needed to enlarge everything due to our students extra strength, but now I'm just bragging, because I helped design it! Let's go!" Andi said, amazingly I think she had said all that in one breath!
I saw Emmet's face fall when Andi mentioned leaving, I don't think he would have left at all if he wasn't so curios about the rest of the school!
The tour continued, and before long we had visited: the charms corridor, the potions labs, the chemistry room, physics room and the biology room, the MIT rooms (which totally looked like a spies hide out!) the music block, the physic room (I'll totally fit it there), the empathy room ( Its emotion proof so that people like Jazz can remain calm when there is a very exciting school event on) the library, the practice rooms, and even the toilets ( yes, I know that I am a vamp and I don't need to use toilets but is has a spa unit! WITH MANACURE DESK! I love this school!)
The fourth bell sounded, wow lunch already?
"Yay!" Andi cheered "let's go see the gang," she sprouted wings and took off. We followed suit- sans the wings of course! We ran into the form room to be met with the others waiting for us.
We all greeted each other with smiles and sat down.
"Now that we are all here," Flora suggested happily, "why don't we go for lunch?"
