The Inheritance

First Day | 5

"Vivian! Your pager arrived!"

"What pager?"

"Come here, I'll show you!"

Seth walked around the courtyard, getting elbowed in the arm by witches a few times. She knew her way around, since her mother had smartly given her a map, full of secret entryways and tunnels leading outside the school.

Although she had some time to kill, Seth still wanted to get to her first class early, to make a good (hopefully long-lasting,) first impression.

She checked her schedule.

Potions.

Stumbling over the vines growing over a small staircase, Seth quickly made her way along a dark corridor, stopping at a black oakwood double door.

She pushed the door open, to reveal a silent room with the sound of bubbles echoing in the empty spaces, and few windows, with red hot lava outside of them.

I walked around the school grounds trying to find the Enchanted Forest for my first class, Supernatural Creatures.
I probably circled a statue of a mermaid many times. Still having trouble trying to find the Enchanted Forest, I opened my Apple Pager and searched up where the forest was.

I probably missed 10 minutes of class, seeing that they had already got their textbooks and were seated under the big, illuminating tree.

"Miss Lesmond, you are late." she stated in a stern voice.

"I'm very sorry, Professor Malian, I couldn't find where the forest was, and it's pronounced Ley-mond, Professor." I stated back politely.

"You do not talk back to a teacher! Detention!" she exclaimed in a frightening tone.

Everyone started laughing, except for a quiet looking boy, I smiled at him but all he did was turn his focus on Professor Malian.

"Silence! Now everyone turn to page 6 and quietly read. Miss Lesmond you can go read with Ryder Williams over there." she said in a calmer voice as she gestured her hand in the direction of the same boy who didn't return my smile.

"Hey." I greeted him in a whisper.

"Hi." he greeted back.

"Why didn't you laugh at me when everyone did?" I asked him curiously.

"I didn't think it was funny." he replied back in a serious tone.

"Oh." I replied back with gratefulness in my voice.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Vivian and your name is Ryder." I stated.

"Yeah. Are you an elf?" he asked again while looking at his textbook.

"Yeah I am. How did you know?" I asked him again in a curious voice.

"It was just a guess." he replied back while reading the words on the page.
