Dear Diary,
I should have known it would be like this. I mean there was no illusion to exactly what a slayer is. How could I not have realized what I was submitting myself to when I came to this school? I feel so deprived now. You see, SLAYER Academy is an all girls school! That's right, no boys allowed. For the next three and a half years all my classmates will be girls. I'm having some trouble dealing.
Okay, change of subject! Well this was an exciting day. I got to the airport at 6 and the fam and me met the Prewits there. So then Stacey and I said our goodbyes to our families. They were all full of tears and stuff and I felt kind of bad about leaving. The plane ride was what was expected - long and uncomfortable. Then when we got to the airport there was a man holding up a sign that said SLAYER Academy on it so we walked over to him. He had this cool eye patch on and we asked him if he was really missing an eye and he said he really was! It turns out his name is Mr. Harris and he said that he would be a our math teacher and was also the grounds keeper. Mr. Harris told us that there were four other girls coming in that day and we needed to head over to another terminal where a flight from Puerto Rico would be arriving in an hour.
While we were waiting for that flight we had a long talk with Mr. Harris. We asked him how he got his eye patch and he said he got it from an evil priest. I hope they don't make us go to his church! We asked him if we would be having a lot of regular classes like math and stuff and he said that we would receive a full proper education along with our slyer training and that a lot of our questions would be answered in an assembly tonight. So then we asked him to tell us about some of his adventures working with slayers and witches. He told us a lot of really cool stories. There was this one where the mayor in his old town turned into a giant snake during their high school graduation and how they had to blow up the whole high school to kill him. And there was this one time when he accidentally summoned a musical demon that made everyone burst out into song whenever they were feeling emotions and if the song got too strong for them they would spontaneously combust. I have a feeling he is into an ordinary math teacher. He also has a great sense of humor.
Then the girl from Puerto Rico arrived. She spoke very little English, but fortunately Spanish is Stacey's best subject in school and she was able to translate. It turns out Duena Sanchez is only thirteen. She is already much curvier than I am though and I was a little jealous of all the looks she was getting from guys in the airport. She has long wavy black hair and big brown eyes. She is only about 5'3'' but still has the looks of an adult. She seems very friendly and outgoing though and while we were waiting for a flight from Canada to come in she was making a huge effort to pick up some English. Mr. Harris told her through Stacey that the only Spanish words he knew were Doritos and Chihuahua and Duena laughed.
The Canadian flight was delayed for two hours due to a storm, but when it finally came in, we met Demi de Gaulle. Demi has to be the smallest sixteen year old I've ever met. She is only 4'11'' and can't possibly weigh more than eighty pounds. I'm thinking they made a mistake. There is no way this little chicklett can possibly be strong enough to be a slayer. Of course I wouldn't tell her that. The girl has got an attitude major! She has blue eyes that turn almost black if she's upset in the slightest and short cut jet black hair. I can already tell me and her are not going to get along, although she didn't seem to mind Stacey that much and she obviously had the hotts for Mr. Harris. Can you say gross? He's freakin a one eyed math teacher!
We had to rush across the airport in time to meet a flight coming in from Oakland. I was more than happy to have an excuse to not talk to Demi. The flight was on time and the Californian girl was already waiting for a few minutes before we arrived. She had stringy light brown hair and a large freckle covered face. She looked like she was about 5'10'' Her name was Lilka Walsh. She talked so fast and nervously that she reminded me of a little chipmunk with her big round cheeks moving a mile a minute. I didn't really have time to get to now her though because we had to run to another terminal to reach the flight coming in from Los Angeles where a girl from Hawaii would be arriving.
Of all the new slayers we met at the airport, I think Pilis was my favorite. WE talked on the ride to the school and we have a lot in common. We are both avid swimmers and love the ocean, granted the Hawaiian ocean is undoubtedly nicer and wavier than the Massachusetts beaches that I'm used to. She has a small round brown face and long black hair. We also both like to play softball but she also enjoys horseback riding whereas I am terrified of horses beyond all belief. We were wondering what the academy would be like and we both admitted we were picturing something like Hogwarts.
When we got to SLAYER Academy it was very different than what we had expected. It looked just like a regular school. I big tall brick building with sports fields behind it. I have to admit I was some what disappointed. But when Mr. Harris came around and opened up the van door for us to get out we were greeted by the woman who I had talked to on the phone. She was not what I would expect a teacher to look like at all! She could not be more than 23 years old and had dark brown long wavy hair. She was wearing tight leather pants and a tube top that showed A LOT of cleavage. My mother would never let me leave the house like that even on Halloween! She seemed really nice though and she escorted us all to our rooms. I was rooming with Stacey, thank goodness. I would have just died if I got stuck with mean old Demi or Duena, who can't speak English.
After we put our stuff away Stacey and I sat on our beds unsure of what to do. Then we heard a knock on the door and we called for the person to come in. A petite unbelievably thin blonde woman opened the door. She said her name was Buffy Summers and I was all excited because I had remembered reading about her. She told us that it was dinner time and that she would take us and the other newbies down to the cafeteria. So we wet down to the cafeteria and ate like two burritos each cause we were starved. All of us from the airport that day sat at one table. I sat between Stacey and Pilis and across from Demi and Lilka . Duena was on the other side of Stacey. We finally met Mr. Giles who came over to talk to us. He looked about mid fifties and wore a tweed outfit. He told us that he would meet with us in the morning and give us all the details of our "adventure" at SLAYER Academy. Until then we were supposed to go back to our dorms and get some rest. So that's where I am now. So yeah, that was the first day in my new life as a slayer.
