Talons or Talent?

Chapter 1

"AHH-AHH-ACHOO!!!" sparks shot out of my nose and into the air, as l sneezed, the twig l was holding caught flame and scorched the grass below. l gasped, dropped the stick and stomped on it to get rid of the fire.

"bless you!" someone shouted as they passed through the halls of our silent school. she held her books tightly to her chest as she scurried through the school. Her little legs moving violently across the Canadian school grounds.
It was quite cold this season and my nose was getting very congested and gross.

"HEY! NO TALKING!" our principal shouted as he directed his security guards to get the girl. they nodded and sprinted their way over to the talker.
The principal was wearing the typical principal outfit. suit, tie, squarely black shoes. you know, the usual.

And l thought it was a funny sight to see, 2 grown men trying to run after a little girl, and on top of that, they were wearing suits. so it was funny to hear the rubbing sound when they ran after her.
l heard an earsplitting crack, as the rather large men full on jumped the girl. This school is crazy strict. since this is a school for "talented" kids. the world believes that people like us are freaks, and don't know how to control ourselves, so they sent us all here. so the rules here tend to be very uptight, hence why the security guards jump on people, they're afraid we're gonna do something stupid.
My eyes widened as l scooted away from the scene. I did NOT wanna deal with that principal today.

"please don't see me! please don't see me!!!"
I thought to myself.

"HEY YOU!" principal Florissant yelled at me.
And I know what you're thinking, and yes, it is a very girly last name. Florissant. Makes me think of febreeze or something.

I cringed as I felt the security men stomping their way through the field of green towards me.
I then plastered a fake smile on my face and turned around.
I nodded my head as if I was saying hello.

"DID YOU SEE WHAT JUST HAPPENED THERE?!" Principal Florissant spat the words out like he'd just looked in the mirror and found that he had a hairy mole right on his chin.

I shook my head, I didn't want to get into any trouble. He then fixed his hair, so that he would look good when he gave me my punishment.
I'm not entirely sure why he was trying to fix his combover, there is not much you can do with that hairstyle. Then, he twiddled his braided beard. because what else do people like him do? He's a dwarf for goodness sakes! All of them have beards, including some of the women...

"IF I EVER FIND YOU SNEEZING AGAIN, I WILL... excuse me for a sec." He paused and snapped his fingers at his security guards who then lifted him up to my size. as you can imagine, he is a very short man, with LOTS of anger built up.

"I WILL HAVE YOU EXPELLED!!! UNDERSTOOD???!!! WELL?" Not even giving me time to say anything, he squinted his eyes and stared into me.

I nodded my head and looked at the ground. I hate eye contact, it just makes everything worse.
"But why punish me for sneezing? thats ridiculous!" I thought to myself.

The principal turned and left with both his guards by his side. I'm pretty sure the guards must be made of steel or something, or maybe they're robots, I'm not entirely sure. Either way, they're huge and strong.

I picked up my bag, then as soon as the evil frebreeze guy was out of sight, I rushed to the girl, who blessed me when I sneezed.

She looked dazed, and mangled. I kneeled down and poked her cheek to see if she was conscious. She was, luckily.
The girl looked as if she was one of the neglected people at this school. judging by her glasses, Star Wars T-shirt, and, her dusty brown braided hair. Which I found kinda funny, I mean she was obviously a hobbit, she looked about two feet tall. the reason I found it funny is because they're mostly famous for lord of the rings, but I guess it would be kinda weird if I wore a how to train a dragon shirt....
I felt like she was kinda like me, besides the fact that I'm definitely not accident prone. But I am disowned by almost everyone.
But I cant just leave her here! On the other hand, i'm also not allowed to transform unless we are in power class.
I sighed deeply, and scrunched up my face thoughtfully, then I scratched my head. My red wavy hair getting tangled.

But that doesn't mean I cant carry her...
I chuckled to myself, I'm starting to sound like Sam, from lord of the rings.

So that was that, I carried her to the nurses sanctuary. And when I say sanctuary, I mean sanctuary. out nurse is a satyr. what? Did you think only the students were super freaks? Nope. so are the staff.
