So there I was, on my way into the middle of no where, somewhere here in Queensland, Australia. It was a painful drive of silence and but nothing but that. Finally after 7 hours, 12 toilet/food stops, we were finally here. After stepping out from the car, grabbing my bags and dumping them on the ground, there was a sign 'St. Bonaventure' it read.
"Ha, French name." I stated. This school didn't seem too bad. It was made out
of big cement blocks, clearly old, but it looked pretty cool. Although, it did have this weird creepy, kind of magical feeling about it. I liked it.
"Yes dear. Named after the great St. Martin Bonaventure, founder of this school." My mother said matter-of-factly.
"And, uh, who?" I said, clearly not knowing who he was.
"Oh, never mind. Like you care anyway!" my mother scoffed. She turned her back on me then headed inside, my dad right on her heels.
"Yeah, no, carry on. Don't bother waiting for me. You never do anyway." I muttered to myself. I hate the way my parents treat me. Just because I'm different they just can't accept that! I thought. Tears started welling up in my eyes. I quickly wiped them away, grabbed my bags and hurried on inside.
"Yes Mrs. Rosen. This is a very strict school indeed. In fact it is one of the strictest in the Northern part of Queensland." I'm guessing that that was the principal who made that statement. I was standing outside the door listening in.
"Oh thank goodness! Erica is such a trou--" my mother said getting stopping short by my entrance.
"Welcome my child. Please, sit." The principal said, gesturing towards the chair beside her. "I'm Sonya Lydian."
"Um, hey. Erica Rosen, pleased to meet you, but I'm fine standing thanks." I replied. There was no way I was sitting next her. Lydian looked like she was from the 50's. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if she was, with all those wrinkles and greying hair. Although, her eyes, they were magical. They were this strange honey-gold colour, like the vampires from 'Twilight'.
"Okay, that's fine. Your legs may get a little sore though." Mrs. Lydian said with a smile.
"Okay…" I said cautiously. I decided to sit on my suitcase. It wasn't as comfortable as the chair next to Lydian, I was sure, but I was not sitting next to that strange woman.
"So, I've had a wonderful time meeting you Mr. and Mrs. Rosen, but now I have to speak with Erica, so goodbye and I shall keep in touch." Lydian said abruptly.
"Oh yes, of course." my mother said, standing to her feet. My parents then kissed me on my forehead, said their goodbyes and crossed themselves.
"Yeah, see ya." I muttered as they left. I decided to move into the seat my mother occupied.
"So, what are you?" Lydian said, startling me.
"Don't you mean 'how' are you?" I asked.
"No, what are you?" she said, seeming a little annoyed.
"Um, I'm a person, you know. Like every other person here." I said sarcastically. This woman was really creeping me out… and that was hard to do!
"Okay, obviously." Lydian said, clearly covering something up.
I apologise for short chapters. I know, it's frustrating but I had to stop here. I'm really hoping people will like this story, so REVIEW and let me know what you think; good or bad, I don't care, just REVIEW! (:
