Nova walks in 10 minutes after I sit stewing in my thoughts. Her purple hair is short but always somehow so voluminous. She smiles as she spots me

"Hey Ayla, What's up" She exclaims a little over enthusiastically for my liking. This is how she is always excited for no real reason.

"I'm good nova lets get going" .

"ok " she says worried.

Nova knows me. We have been friends all my life she can tell if I'm upset worried, troubled, scared, sad you name it.

"SO I hear there's a new boy coming into the order today" she says.

I recognize her attempt at trying to cheer me up and change the melancholy tension in the air.for once I appreciate it.

"O yea whos that ?" I ask not really interested.

A new student would be a welcome change, its rare to ever get any. but today I'm too into my own thoughts to truly care about it.

"I don't know but I heard he's a shifter, a hot one" she whispers to me as we head to classes.

Huh I think a new shifter born or created hasn't happened in about 10 years. Intriguing indeed.

We see Taron my other bff as we near out first class. He's a elemental that can manipulate fire so he doesn't live in either of our sectors. that's why we have to meet him at class everyday. He's tall and buff. Hes a sandy blonde hair, blue eyed 6 ft. Tall glass of deliciousness but to me he is just my bff. Many girls adore him especially the elementals.

I'm told he's extremely powerful among his kind, except not a jerk like most fire boys in his sector.

We had a almost thing in our pre teen days. he was actually my first kiss but since then we have friend zoned each other and neither has tried truly hard to change that. Its not that I wouldn't its just why try when things are great the way they are.

Another guy Murkan stares at me and Nova with disdain as we approach Taron. He's a earth elemental and hates how close we all are. His father works high up in the council of elders that make up The Order and they believe in sticking to our own.

We all ignore him as usual he's not the first or last to feel this way so why should we give a damn.

"Hey nova, hey Ayla how are my two favorite ladies this morning" Taron smirks.

Typical Taron so flirty.

"Great. You?" I state bored with his flirty tone.

"I missed you" He whispers to me.

Lately he's been more flirty than normal, especially towards me.

" Sure T" I say

but secretly I'm annoyed with him. I don't understand what he's trying to do but I honestly want no parts in it.

We enter the class and get ready to endure. Lucky we do not have any classes other than skills fighting and strategies. The Order wants to make sure we can control our powers and if the need arises we can use it to protect and defend. From who or from what? don't ask, because I don't know.

We learned all the basics reading and math etc. in grade school. At 12th now, we are almost adults and this is what the rest of our school days consist of.

At least we don't have to sit through useless lessons. These will actually be useful. I've seen more than a few powers get out of control and its NOT pretty.

I'm paired in out first lesson against an air elemental named Airlon. How fitting and a little cheesy.

He seems vicious. He sends hurricane forced winds at me with unnecessary force . I instantly knock it away. Does he not understand that will not work on me?.

Everyone in this facility except mayb the young children know what i am capable of.

He sends a desk at me next. I stop the desk and hurl it back at him. It sends him crashing to the wall. I wince I feel bad this is all practice after all but he seems determined to hurt me.

He gets back up and finally i think he will concede

but his eyes only show rage and impatience. He conjures up a tornado that hurls toward me full speed. I'm just about to take control of it when a force like a ton of bricks knocks me out the way. I hit the floor hard winded and annoyed. What the hell?!.

A face chiseled of pure masculine perfection looks at me. dark eyes and copper hair a tone I've never seen before stares at me.

He jumps to his feet and rounds on the air elemental. Fury radiating in his every step.

"You dare attack a female" He bellows and starts to advance claws sharpening deadly.

The teacher quickly steps in.

"Mr. Logan stop !!" He yells. "This is a fight exercise, She was in no real danger I assure you". Mr. Logan as I know him, stops and stares at the teacher like he lost his mind.

"She could've been seriously injured, are you all mad" He admonishes.

The teacher simply rolls his eyes. "She is the most skilled and competent of all my students. I am more than certain she would have been fine, please step aside, she is not in danger" he says plainly.

Mr. Logan looks at me.

I'm standing astonished at everything wondering what I should do. I bite my lips nervously as Mr. Logan stares me down like he's trying to figure me out.

Exasperated the teacher yells" class dismissed". I hang back to figure out what's going on since I was just tackled I feel I'm owed some kind of explanation.

Apparently so does the teacher because he looks at me and nods.

After all the students leave and my friends agree to wait for me outside he begins to explain.
"Ayla this is Emil Logan the new shifter student" He explains.

I look at Mr. Logan or Emil and understanding dawns on me. Shifters are rare born or created. Of course his instincts would demand to protect a female his own or not.

" Sorry for the misunderstanding" I say smiling encouragingly.

" Welcome to The Order I'm Ayla Cole" I try to give him a handshake.

He stares at it like its a snake and turns to stalk away. Ok then. I'm not offended I've met many shifters. they are a moody rude bunch,it is their nature not necessarily who they are.

I meet my friends outside the room and head down the corridor. With classes dismissed we are free for the day. I'm excited to lazy about my home but I know these two have different plans................
