Roselia took her first step towards this impressive building. The dirt road ahead s.h.i.+ned with a golden glow by the sun, curving towards a big dark brown door, in the dark cream wall, giving a sophisticated and elegant vibe while making one"s heart calm and relaxing. On either sides of the lane, gra.s.s was well trimmed and maintained neatly, which could be a better place to lay down during summer.
Roselia noticed only students trailed after her, leaving parents outside the HIGH academy gates.
It was one of the policy of HIGH academy. The first lesson of HIGH academy. This is where the real education begins from.
Once the students cross the gates, they start to live a new life at HIGH academy and they need to learn to do everything independently.
So, as a matter of fact, parents can"t trail after their kids into the building nor to their dorms, indirectly making students to find their own place to live in this big majestic building.
Not wanting to delay anymore Roselia sprinted through the way. This is where her new life begins from now on. Now she doesn"t have to worry about anything and could lead a happy yet simple life making good friends and concentrating on her future. Just this thought made her lips curl up high into the sky.
The door seemed huge than she thought from far away and the whole building couldn"t be seen completely from this near to the building. It"s like a Royal Palace and nothing like a high school.
Studying in HIGH academy would be the dream of any aspiring student. They just don"t train any subjects here. They train them into warriors helping them how to survive in this world.
Roselia gasped at the vast entrance hall. The door was hugged by a lofty stone arch exposing the brick.
People were bustling from inside out the Hall way. Taking a deep breath, her eyes looking at the sky, Roselia tried to calm down and finally stepped into the entrance hall, into HIGH academy.
She couldn"t help but imagine how big this academy might be just by looking at the hall. She can"t contain her anxiousness to do a pocket tour immediately around the whole academy. She is so sure that her feet will be complaining later if she really toured around the whole academy.
The hall was lit brightly with bright fluorescent lights. Windows were all open allowing the natural air to flow in, which sent chills down Roselia"s spine.
The ceiling was atleast 25 feet high, held aloft. The stone floor was soft which was s.h.i.+nning brightly and felt so smooth under her feet.
"They might have got polished for years by thousands of feet over hundreds of years to be this smooth", Roselia muttered in her heart and continued to roam her eyes around the hall.
Yes, that"s right, HIGH academy has over hundred years of history to begin with. This majestic building was built at that time and till now not much changes were made in this building and it didn"t get any repairs showing how well our ancient crafters built this wonderful huge academy.
Though this room was vast, there were barely any people could be seen inside. It was just the start of the day, so more people would be joining along with her today.
She noticed people going in a queue, so she stood in the line for her turn. The first step was to get verified.
Roselia took her acceptance letter, which she received via post before and then her middle school ID card for ident.i.ty verification.
She held then as if they were her life"s last straw to survive. She may agree or not ,but Surely it is her last straw to survive.
Soon it will be her chance. There are only three more people ahead of her.
....
Finally, it was going to be her turn. As the last person before her completed the verification procedure, Roselia stepped up.
The young lady in front of her, who might be in her early Twenties greeted Roselia with a warm smile which made Roselia a bit comfortable.
She had a warm chestnut brown hair colour, making the gold in her oddly beautiful hazel eyes pop. She wore a tight hugging dress which enhanced her beauty. Well, she is indeed a real beauty.
With the same warm smile, the young lady spoke politely, "Good morning, can you pa.s.s me your rank card? "
Roselia still stood silent as she continued to observe the young lady.
Amelia, the lady before understood that Roselia was in trance not paying heed to her words.
Not replacing her smile, with a little raise in her voice, "h.e.l.lo!! Can you please give me your acceptance letter? "
Roselia jerked as she got woken up from her reverie.
"Yeah... ", as she spoke she clumsily streteched both the residence proof and the card to Amelia. Her hand stood in mid way as she remembered something.
She was about to withdraw her hand to take the ID proof, which was held by Amelia.
Amelia chuckled lightly seeing how worked up Roselia got as she stretched her hand to give both the cards. However,Amelia gonna ask the residence proof later, so she decided to take both the copies to ease the tension out of Roselia"s head lightly.
Roselia saw a slim, fair hand on hers. Not wasting anymore time, Amelia took both the cards and proceeded to verify.
Amelia"s hands danced on the keyboard very swiftly, which made Roselia feel like, Amelia could type with same ease even if her eyes were closed. It"s like all keys were perfectly inscribed in her brain.
Not even two minutes later, Amelia instructed Roselia to go to next counter to collect her ID card and room key.
Roselia felt very excited to visit her room. She rushed to the next counter. She doesn"t really have to wait for her turn as there is no one in front of her.
It was a man in his late twenties. He swiftly asked for her name and his hand rummaged through a bunch of cards as he searched for hers.
Later, he took a room key for her, gave those requirements to her and then instructed her to move to next counter.
As she went further, Roselia felt a chill gaze behind her back. She didn"t know why, but she felt it was not correct.
It was another male teacher. He gave a not approachable look with a long face which could send s.h.i.+vers down ones spine.
Roselia couldn"t find her voice out of her throat because of his odd behavior. He gave a serious glare to her, at least that"s what Roselia felt at his intense gaze on her.
"Si... Sir", her voice stuttered in tremble and gulped downed the huge lump formed in her throat.
He simply s.h.i.+fted down his gaze and gaze a sheet along with an envelope to her.
She instantly s.n.a.t.c.hed it away from his hands and was about to run away when she heard him speak.
" Go straight and turn left for dorms", his voice hoa.r.s.e and deep, his hand showing a direction. His voice was enough for children to wail in fear. Roselia simply nodded and abruptly ran away from his sight.
She felt like her breathing was stopped under his cold gaze, expressionless face and frost voice.
"Oops! He was scary", she uttered out remembering him.
She then immediately began to reas what was written on the think sheet. It was her list of courses for this semester and about clubs see can take part in.
She got engrossed in reading her courses. As she took the left turn...
Tud~~
She opened her mouth slightly in shock when she realized she actually landed on the ground colliding with something.
With her mouth still open, her eyes filled with surprise she looked at the towering figure. He is so handsome. Roselia felt like gaze was penetrating inside her body. He had srong built. He just stared blankly at her.
He just stood there, neither leaving nor helping her out to get up. "What the he*k? Can"t you see... ", her tongue was the immediate to react rather than her body.
Scrambling to her feet, she immediately gathered the scattered objects and quickly went her way feeling uncomfortable from his creepy gaze, " Pervert... "
Thinking that she fled away from him
"Interested? ", another boy, similar to his build, dangled his hand lazily on his friends shoulder as he whispered it in his friends ears, following it he gave a wink.
It was Lucas.
The boy who dashed with Roselia earlier was Ethan.
He simply turned his head to his best friend and gave a meaning gaze which Lucas understood almost immediately. Ethan began to twirl the stone, which was hanging with the chain around his neck.
It was the stone which helps one to conceal their real ident.i.ty. It helps them to conceal the fact of being a werewolf who can easily mix among humans well and anyone doesn"t know the person was a werewolf once he/she had the stone on them. Even vampires can"t identify it.
