Chapter 3: An impostor in our school!

"You're lucky Stella to have your own room, I have a roommate." Bloom enviously told her friend while entering her new bedroom.

But she was instantly met by a cry of pain. It quickly dawned on her that the cry did not come from her blond friend but from a weird looking plant. She had accidentally stepped on one of his roots.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" She apologized to the suffering flower.

"Don't be, it's my fault I shouldn't have left all my stuff lying around." A sweet soothing voice from behind her answered. When Bloom turned around she was met by a girl her age. Probably her new roommate.

"Let me introduce myself, my name's Flora, and this is a talking plant, one of my creations." The new girl explained when pointing to the poor sobbing flower.

"I'm Bloom." She said without thinking, and swiftly corrected herself.

"I mean Bloom is just a name I like, my real name is Veranda of Callisto!" she had a glimpse of Stella's proud smile. Her lying was probably getting more convincing every minute.

The three girls were then joined by two other students. Tecna sporting flashy purple short hair and logistics sprouting out of her mouth. And finally Musa, a cute girl with dark blue pigtails and a huge collection of musical instruments. After unpacking, they decided to go eat in town.

It was 6 pm and Professor Darkwell was on his way to Mrs. Faragonda's office, needing her permission to teach the 3rd year students Domino's destruction. But when he finally arrived at his destination, instead of one middle-aged lady he was met with two. Both wearing confused and worried expressions, their eyes glued on a letter laying on the principal's desk. They were woken up from their silent thinking by the door shutting behind the newcomer.

"Good evening, Mrs Griselda, Mrs Faragonda, I'm here to talk about a future lesson for my third year. However, I need to pass it by you before adding it to my program."

Faragonda smiled at him, but he noticed that it didn't reach her eyes. She greeted him and invited him to sit on the chair in front of her and to Griselda's left. When he was comfortably set, he could not help himself from asking the question that had been nagging him since he entered the room.

"I can tell something is troubling you, I hope I am not bothering you by asking what it is." He said as politely as he could, not wanting to anger his (really powerful fairy) boss.

"Oh is it that obvious? Well yes, there is something unusual that me and Mrs. Griselda discovered less than an hour ago. You see…"

But she didn't even have time to say another word because she was interrupted by an angry Mrs Griselda.

"AN IMPOSTOR, THERE IS AN IMPOSTOR IN OUR SCHOOL!"

"An impostor?" The confused young man repeated.

"Griselda calm down, we can't be sure yet. We have not got all of the information yet."Faragonda tried to calm her down.

"And what is the information currently in your possession?" The history teacher was starting to get curious. The white haired lady turned to him and answered in a matter of fact tone.

"This morning a young first year student introduced herself as Princess Veranda of Callisto. However, only an hour ago we received a letter from Callisto's royal family informing us that they're daughter had decided to take a gap year to travel around the galaxy and start her studies next year."

"So who is the girl that signed up as Veranda of Callisto?" He asked while nervously tapping his fingers on the desk in a quick rhythm that only he knew.

"We do not know."

"But we will find out!"added Griselda.

"As the principal of the school I have a small favor to ask of you." Faragonda said those words while staring him down with a serious look. He knew that this "small" favor was going to end badly.

A half hour later and a few miles away from Faragonda's office, the five girls were laughing and having dinner in a little restaurant located in the center of Magix. Completely ignorant of the pair of hazel eyes watching them from afar or of the group of witches and ogre talking about them a few blocks away.

Ten minutes later there were only four. "The impostor" as Mrs. Griselda called her, had left her friends in search of a way to phone her family (and if Faragonda and Griselda were right, they weren't the king and queen of Callisto).

He chose to wait for her return, at the same time he noticed that the Princess of Solaria who had destroyed Palladium's classroom was one of the red headed girl's friends.

Suddenly everybody in the restaurant heard magical explosions from outside. The girls left money on the table to pay for their meals and ran out to see what the commotion was all about.

While doing the same, the young man could not help but think that he was right all along, something was going to happen or more precisely something bad was happening now. So he ran out to join the girls.
