Emma Tolly climbed onto the green bus on the first day of term. She was in heavy thought oblivious to everything that was happening around her but she was just thinking about what could happen in the term. Anything. For several terms that she had been "Emma Tolly" she had been involved with many things such as; Henry Yewbeam, The Blue Boa, The Castle of Mirrors, Count Harken Badlock etc.
She was still in thought when she got pushed into a seat by Dorcas Loom who, despite the hustle and bustle on the bus managed to find a seat without collapsing out of breath (she was very unfit). As the bus moved on Emma broke out of her reverie and started talking to Tancred, who had slipped onto the seat next to her without her noticing for quite some time.
"D'you think there is gonna be a new person this term?" she asked him.
"Don't know" He replied "Sander said he had a surprise though"
Soon the bus came to a halt outside the stop which Lysander Sage usually got on with Gabriel Silk who would take the Blue Bus. However it was not just two boys waiting at the stop but a stunning teenage girl with gold hair and bright azure-blue big eyes.
All heads turned as she glided gracefully onto the bus. But no-one knew who she was.
"Hey Tanc" Lysander said as he fitted into a seat behind Tancred. The golden haired girl sitting next to him.
"Hi Sander, who is she" Tancred replied beckoning to the golden haired girl who was consumed into her phone of the latest model.
"Yeah, Tancred, this is my sister, ... and this is Tancred, my best mate." This last was addressed to "..." who finally looked up from her phone. Emma's eyebrows went right up as she noticed that they did not look anything alike. Lysander's skin was brown as he was from Africa but the girl looked from somewhere in Europe with a healthy complexion and a pale blush to her cheeks. She looked like an even prettier version of Tracy Morsell.
"Hi" she said. Her voice was soft but rich and silky. "You must be Emma Tolly – the one that can fly?" She asked Emma who nodded her head.
With that she sat back on her seat and proceeded in a relaxed way, the bus journey.
Soon they arrived at Bloor's Academy and were joined by people in blue and purple capes. Charlie whose hair looked a mess came over to the 4 art students with Billy Fidelio and Gabriel. Introductions were made and all the boys – apart from Lysander were still in awe of ... as they walked into the entrance hall so the rule of silence was not needed.
