The principal walks around, talking to the other teachers as she walks by.
She started walking towards me and the others. I straightened my posture and returned to eating nervously as she walked by me. As she finally passed, I let out a sigh and looked over at my friend Amelia. She shows me her phone as she looks up at me.
“Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out? um, echo can come too if she likes.”
I read out loud what the text said. I looked up from the phone and looked back at Amelia.
“Yeah, I’ll go but only for you.” I say, smiling at her and nudging her arm. “Okay Great! I’ll tell Oliver.” She says, smiling widely, typing fastly, and then putting her phone to the side.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
That is what I hear. I look up to see the principal putting the glass and butterknife down.
“All first-year students must make their way to the study room”. I looked at Amelia and stood up.
I head my way towards the auditorium but something catches my eye as I walk by the trophy cases.
“1656 Blair Winx awarded #1 in Leopard Chase” I whispered to myself.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
As I continue walking, I think to myself, Winx? Is she part of my family? I am going to do some research after school hours.
“Echo? Hello?” A blonde-haired girl says, waving in front of my face.
“Oh. Um, Who are you?” I ask, confused about how she knew my name.
“Oh! How rude of me! My name is Ariel- Ariel Hyde” the blonde-haired girl says, shaking my hand.
“Oh okay... So how do you know my name?” I ask with a confused face. “Oh well, I’ve learned about your family-”
“What? What about my family did you exactly learn about?” I ask nervously. “well you know,” Ariel says, nudging me in my arm.
“No, I don’t so tell me”. I say, slighting, raising my tone.
“Well, I know that you’re a part of the Winx family, and well you’re a witch.” She says, quieting her tone at the witch part
“Oh my gosh, how do you know this?” I say, holding onto my books tighter
“well like I said I’ve learned about your family. I had to learn about it anyway.” She says, “Why did you have to learn about us?” I ask
“My family is part of a witch coven as well the Hyde Witc-” She starts to say, but gets cut off by one of the mentors saying we’re in the study room.
