The disgusting elixir that Willow gave me to drink really made me feel better. In less than half an hour I felt like I could run a marafon across the Gedonelune grounds. The thought of staying the whole in bed somehow really pleased me, it I'd feel like I was skipping class. And so, I lazily crawled out of the warm metal bed quickly lost my balance when I stood up. The wings made me forget how to walk. They were so heavy when they were folded it made me stumble backwards. I stood up again with the help of my tale and walked over to where my clothes were with great big unfolded wings. I slipped of my torn purple dress and put on the uniform.

It was difficult to fold my wings into a small enough shape that it would fit through the hole without pulling out any of the red feathers. At this moment I was so tempted to transform into my normal self but I knew that it'd prolong the time it would take to get my magic back. With an hours struggles, I was finally fully clothed. Now I walked over to the mirror dreading my reflection. I stood next to the mirror debating weather to look or not. I finally swallowed it down and stepped directly in front of it.

What I saw in the reflection horrified me. My red hair and the two pointed ears that stood atop my head. The dark circle beneath my eyes and most of all the weird scales around my body. I was glad that the blazer had long sleeves because I would die in shame. I as now worried what the students would say to my appearance... what would Klaus say?! After all, this animal is a myth to most students. I just need my makeup. Before i go to get it i should have a drink, so i walked back to my bed doing the best I can to balance with my wings half folded.

As I was about to get the drink, I saw a polka dot blue pencil case under the bed. The biggest smile of today spread across my face. My make up bag! I stretched out my tail to grasp it and I rushed to open it. While I was doing so, the bell rang out signaling the start of break, that means I've got twenty minutes to do my makeup and hair. That's more than enough. I made myself look as presentable as I could as quickly as I could and then tried to fly around. I was much better at flying than waking, the only times I changed into this form was during the holidays so there were no restrictions to my way transport.

The door opened and Willow came striding in with a relieved expression on her face to see me happily flying around. "Hey max," she shrugged and I landed clumsily next to her. "So you're going to the next class then?"

"Yeah, thanks for the makeup," I was about to start another conversation but the bell telling us that start of the class is in 10 minutes rang out in the corridor and a flood of students slowly filled it up. I grabbed my bag with my fluffy tail. "Should we go?" I asked and spread my wings out in a starting position.

"You can't fly! There's people there and they will start spreading rumors! Anyway you should wear this." After scolding me, Willow passed me a long black scarf.

"Right, thanks! Some people are " I tied it around my neck to hide the gills on either side of my neck and then tried my best to fold the wings under my cloak. Not to fall backwards I held onto Willows arm and walked hunched backed with the weight of them on my back. Luckily the students didn't pay attention to us as we walked to our next class which was thought by the strict Professor Schuyler. We arrived early and the class was empty so we took our seats next to each other. I left a space next to me for Lexi.

A couple minutes later the class was filled with students. They were so busy in their conversations that they didn't notice me. I looked up at the door and stared at the students barging in, and to my surprise, one of them was Luca. He noticed me straight away and walked over to me and Willow followed by Elias. "I like the new look max," he laughed, I put my hands over my head trying my best to hide as much of it and anger slowly filled me up.

"Luca, it's rude to stare," I said through gritted teeth. "I never asked for this okay?"

"I was just joking jeez. You look great in everything. Anyway, I heard a rumor that there was a blue tiger and an unknown creature fighting in the girls dorm... Is that true?" he asked in a hushed voice. I was about to answer but Willow stepped in.

"Yeah that's true," she said and nodded knowing that my answer would be far more worse and aggressive.

"If you don't mind me asking, how did they get in there?" Elias asked looking thoughtful.

"I'm not sure exactly..." lied Willow and I looked down. I was so thankful to her, I would blab the whole truth out if not her. "Hey max, it's you cousin."

Surely enough, Lexy walked into the classroom and I walked over to her. Once she noticed me, she sprinted over to me and threw her arms around me. While she had her arms around me, she felt my odd body part and looked questioningly at me. "I'm so happy you're ok Max! Did you die your hair? And what's that thing on your back?"

Before I knew it, she lifted my cloak up and found the pair of enormous wings flat against my back. She quickly jumped back and gasped. "I'll explain later. So, should we sit down?" I asked changing the subject as we walked back to were our group was. Everyone was soon going to see me as I'll have to take of my cloak and, once again, be the center of attention.

"Morning," Lexi said cheerfully to the small group who were standing around mine and Willow's desk.

"Good morning Zelana," Elias said back.

"Yeah," Luca said and Yukiya who just joined stayed silent and then took his seat by the window, as usual. The bell rang and everyone took their seats. "Well, I'm outa here." And Luca left the classroom before a teacher arrived.

"Willow?" I got her attention and continued. "What lesson is this?"

"Potion making I think, or magical remedies," she said. I sighed and leaned over my desk as if I was having a snooze. It was better of to stay at the nurses room then I wouldn't be suffering all this. The door to the classroom opened but instead of the gloomy figure of professor Schuyler walking in, it was the beautiful and handsome figure of perfect Klaus. My eyes widened, I would've made myself look a lot better, he'll tell me to take my cloak of and I can't let him see me!

"Seeing that Professor Schuyler is taking care of other business, I will be taking care of your class today," he said and professionally stridden to the front of the classroom. "Everyone get into your seats, cloaks of and wands out."

With a worried expression, I looked over at Willow but she just shook her head and pointed forward. I lifted my head embarrassed to speak to such a good looking guy. "Kla- I mean Prefect Klaus, I can't take my cloak of."

"Why is that? Do you need me to take it of for you instead?" he asked back and smirked.

"It's just that I... That won't be necessary..." I chocked through my words and unpinned the cloak to reveal the large folded wings on my back. About 30 pairs of eyes were fixed on me and I shuffled awkwardly on my seat. My eyes lifted to Klaus and even he was looking at me with his purple eyes.

"Right, let's begin class."
