Chapter One A Rule Of Grammar


       Imagine if you were the only human among monsters? Well that's the story of my life. I’m Regan and I go to a school full of monsters that do magic or in their words “Magics”. About ten years ago, a student found me in the forest out back. Ever since, I’ve stayed here in the dorms. I don't understand why, I’m just glad they let me Or I never would have made the friends I did.

“So Regan you ready to go to school? Were going to be late for being early!”Ailsa asked.

Ailsa’s one of my Best friends. She has pink hair, purple eyes, always wears blues and pinks. She’s very outgoing and just not what you’d expect from a demon.

“ Yeah just a minute I still got to get a few things before we go.”

“ Kay, I just can’t wait for today and we still need to go to the boys dorm to get Kadri. You know he’s not going to get up on his own!”

        Kadri’s another best friend of Ailsa and mine. He has orange-brown hair, blue eye’s and always wears his “ Lucky Flannel.” He’s very… Well he’s something else, let’s just leave it atthat!

“ Why do we HAVE to get up at four again? All you told me and Kadri was that it was something amaze-balls and that you couldn't tell us.”

“ That’s because it’s a secret, but I just know you’re going to like it!”

        The last time she said that I ended up with green hair for a whole month and I love my red hair just as it is!  

“ This isn’t going to be like your other secrets is it?” I Asked because I personally, don't want green hair again.

“ Oh, no. It’s going to be much better than those secrets.”

I grabbed the last of my stuff and said “ OK let's head out.”

“Yeah, I can't wait-” She started before she was interrupted.

“ Could you shut up, some of us are trying to sleep!” Talia announced like it was the end of the world.

“ Yeah, sorry for being too loud is not like there's an invention to make it so you can't hear anything, oh wait there is and it's thing  called ear plugs.” I said sarcastically.

“ Um, Regan can we just go. You don't want to be late for being early.” Ailsa said.

“ Ok Ailsa. We got to get Kadri anyway.”

        Talia’s an enemy of mine. She has dirty blond with dark blue eyes.

“ Oh my brother’s in the same dorm as Kadri could you tell him to meet me in  the front of the school in two hours,” She sat there looking at us then said, “ Please? He should be up by the time you two get there.”

“ Sure Talia will tell him.” I said walking away.

“ Thank you!” she said as she closes her door.

Talia's brother, Tucker, is nothing like her. First off, he’s one of my friends and when he’s not around his sister he’s really nice. In his looks he look like a male version of Talia. Sometimes I catch them wearing the same outfit.

“ Ok, I know she can be rude, but she can’t be that bad if she said please and thank you. Can she?” Ailsa asked me knowing of what I’d say next.

“ Are you kidding she’s the rudest person I’ve ever met and I’ve met a lot of rude people, there nice compared to her!” I tried not to yell as we were still close to her room.

“ I know. I just wish it were like the old days when the three of us hung out and were-”

“ Friends? It’s not the old days, Talia is not our friend anymore and we aren’t at fault. It was her decision to ditch us and start hanging out with other people.”

“ I know. Lets just go get Kadir.”

“ Than Go and find out whatever the heck this surprise is!”

“ Yeah!”

“ La La La, This is my stairs song.” Ailsa sang all the way down to the ground floor.

The ground floor’s just a hang out room for the students to study. So there's no rooms. I get kinda sick if the pink walls and floor. The strawberry smell, of the ground floor, has the boys wishing they knew the secret of how we keep it smelling the fresh.    

“ Ok we are on the ground floor. You can stop singing now!”

“ Why does it annoy you?” Ailsa asked.

“ No it just wouldn’t be a Stairs song if you sing it on the  ground.”

“ Why?”

“ Because you would be singing it on the ground not on the stairs.”

“ So?”

“ So it would make it the ground song not the Stairs song!”

“ Ok, well let’s go get Kadri.”

“ Why didn’t you end up telling him.”

“ I didn't want to spoil the surprise. I guess I left before could ask the question.”

“ Hey ladies. Going to get Kadri I see!” Mrs. Acampora said.

Mrs. Acampora is Meif’wa like Kakri, Taila, and Tucker. Which means they have the appearance of being human, but have cat ears and a tail to match. Mrs. Acampora is our history teacher. Not much to say about her, she just like every other teacher; Nice, sweat, and if you don’t get your homework in on time you're suddenly the butt of all her jokes.

“ Yep, I’m going to show Regan and Kadri what we’re doing in first class.”

“ How do you know about that? I made sure to tell nobody but Nakia.” Mrs. Acampora noted.

“ I had a question I was going to ask. When I saw your teacher plan.”

“ Oh, do you want to ask me now?” Mrs. Acampora offered.  

“ Um, no. It was kinda stupid anyway.”

“ There are no stupid questions!” I responded.

“ Well-Just-never mind,” Ailsa said storming out in a huff, “ Well Regan you coming?”

“ I’ll catch up,” I yelled, “ So I’m going to ‘Like’ it?” I Inquired Mrs. Acampora.

“ Most definitely!” She answered.

“ Cool,” I said backing away, “ I got to catch up to Ailsa. See ya in a bit, I guess”

“ See ya.”

“ OK then, you two take care.”

         

“ Hey Ailsa what did you want to ask Mrs. Acampora?” I asked stopping her.

“ Do you promise not to tell anyone?”

“ Wh-”

“ Just Promise me that one thing?”

“ I promise, I promise, Gezz.”

“ Well I was going to ask her if Meif’wa originated from Werewolves and that if they weren’t so stubborn could werewolves and Meif’wa could be fiends?”

“ You do realize that there cat and dog so no they're not and the Meif’wa and Werewolves went to war because of Ignorance not stubbornness.”

“ Oh, SO that’s my Question answered.”

“ Let’s just get Kadir, OK?”

“ Yeah!”

So a the boy's dorm is all the way on the other side of the school and it takes about twenty to twenty-five minutes to get there from the girls dorm, honestly one of the many reasons I don't go over there anymore. In the boy’s door all you can smell is rotten eggs and dirty gym shorts. The only room that smell fresh is Kadri and Tucker’s dorm and that’s only because Tucker can be a bit of a clean freak.  

“ Finally here.” Ailsa said taking a deep breath in. Probably not the best choice, since the boys dorm smells like rotten eggs and like vomit had a baby, then ate it , and puked it up.

“ well I don't want to be here any longer then we have to. In other words, let's get Kadri and get out of here!” I said holding my nose.

“ Well at least we can count on Tucker to keep his and Kadri’s room smelling like roses.”

Tucker is a bit of a clean freak. If you leave a mess you can count on him to pick it up and make the spot look even cleaner than it was befor.

“ Yeah, no matter how much Kadri tries Tucker’s cleanliness keeps the room clean.”

“ Hey girls here for Kadri?” Nakia asked.

Nakia’s a vampire. He is also crowded a big mist of mystery. Someday I hope to know what it is he’s keeping from the rest of us. Till then, I’ll try to stay on his good side.

“ Yes, I got a secret in first class to show Regan and I want Kadri to see it to!”

“ Oh, If it’s what I think it is, then Regan you’re going to love it.”

“ Well, coming from you, I’m less scared about it.” I sighed, he know’s what it is. Man I never knew how much I hated not knowing things.

“ Yeah, it is Ailsa we’re talking about. You had a good reason to be scared, For all you knew you could have ended up with green hair again.” Nakia an I giggled.  

“ HEY! How was I supposed to know that it was the Enchanted Lake?” Ailsa yelled unplugging her nose.  

        The Enchanted Lake is a lake in monster territory, the only lake, and if you swim in it will take the thing you like most about yourself and change it. So for me I ended you with long green hair. All because Ailsa didn’t read the “ Don’t swim” sing in front of the lake and I was to ignorant to not reread to after Ailsa said she read it already.    

“ You could have tried reading the sign.” I suggested.

“ Yeah, like it’s that easy!”

“ IT IS!” Nakia and I yelled.

“ Well we need to get Kadri so Regan and I should be on our way so see ya!” Ailsa’s in such a hurry.

“ You go ahead Ailsa I’ll ketchup latter, Kay?”

“ Yeah, see ya.” Ailsa said walking away.

“ So why did you stay?” Nakia asked like there was something wrong with it.

“ Is there a problem with that?”

“ No, I was just wondering.”

“ Well I was just going to ask you… What is the big secret and how do you know?”  

“ Ha, just like me afraid of the unknown. Well you’ll have to wait and find out when Ailsa show’s you, but you can trust me when I say you’ll love it!”

“ Well thanks for everything.”

“ You might want to catch up with Ailsa.”

He’s right if I’m going to get a bit of fresh air I either have to leave and go to first class or go in that lily scented boy’s room.

“ Just be safe, all right?”

“ What do you mean?” I asked.

“ You’ll know what I mean when the time comes.”

You see what I mean. He’s the biggest mystery in this school. Not telling me everything, and he knows I hate that.

“ Whatever, I’d stay longer and keep the conversation going, but I got to go get Kadri and make sure that Talia’s message for her brother gets to him I best be on my way. Oh and you be safe too, whatever that means.”

“ See ya.”

        Such a good way to end a bad convention, or whatever kind of convention that was. Anyway, the boy’s dorm is exactly like the girl’s dorm just blue instead of pink. Just like Ailsa and I’s, Kadri’s room is on the first floor. Oh lady Raven this is less interesting without someone here to talk to, good thing I’m almost there.

“ Hey Regan you made it!” Ailsa yeld.

“ Ailsa keep it down. We might be up, but everyone else is asleep.” Tucker shushed Ailsa.

“ Sorry.”

“ Hey it’s ok. Why are you two out of the room?” I asked.

“ Oh, Kadri ain't feeling good so he’s staying in sick today.” Tucker informed me.

“ Really, he thinks that lame excuse is going to get past me.”

See me and Kadri have been friends for the longest time and I know two thing about him. One, he’s never been sick in his life. Two, whenever there’s something he wants to avoid he’ll say he’s sick and stay in his dorm room all day doing whatever he wanted. Todays not going to be one of those days. If Ailsa’s secret is bad enough to publicly humiliate me, he’s going to be a good friend and go through it with me.

“ Hey Butt wipe get up you’re not sick!” I yelled.

“ How did you know I was faking it?”

“ One, you wouldn’t be able to talk back. Two, you’re on your phone playing monster bash.”

“ Okay, Okay, you got me. You know you’re smarter than you look and you look pretty smart.”

“ Kissing my butt ain’t going to help you now.”

“ Can’t you just take this hit alone? Even though I trust the teacher I don’t trust Ailsa not after you know.”

“ Oh yeah that’s right the Enchanted Lake made you a girl for two days.” I reminded him, “ Oh and lookie here I still got the picture’s of you as the girl, what did people call her, Kary, right?”

“ Fine! You win! I’m not sick.”

“ Thank you.”

I knew I could get him to admit it by stating the fact that I still have those pictures on my phone.

“ You know she’d never blackmail you like that, right?” Ailsa asked Kadri after we had both came out of the room.

“ Is it too late to stay home sick?” Kadri asked.

“ Yeah, we all know you’re not sick.” Tucker pointed out.

“ well… I mean now that I’m standing up and starting to walk around I think I’m actually sick.”

“ That’s just Ailsa’s secret talking to you.” I said with a chuckle.

“HEY! It’s a good secret this time, I promise.” Ailsa started, “ Hey by the way, What it time is it?”

Tucker looked at his watch, “ Almost five, Why?”

“ Wow just getting up, going to the boys dorm, than out of the boys dorm took an hour?” Ailsa questioned.

“ You’re really that surprised I mean we stopped to talk with two different people-”

“ That brings up my next question. Where is Nakia, didn’t we leave him right here and he couldn't have gotten that far ahead of us.” Ailsa brought up.

“ He’s a vampire, he has super speed.” I reminded Ailsa. I know we only found out a few weeks ago, but I thought she’d still remember.

“ Oh right, sorry.”

“ What are you sorry for. Ailsa?” Kadri asked, “ It’s not like you did anything do be sorry for.”

“ Yeah so what if you didn’t remember, it’s not your fault.” I said comforting her.

“ Wow.”

“ What is it Tucker?” I asked.

“ Nothing, I just wish Talia was more like you guys or that I had friends like yo-”

“ But you have us, we’re your friends!” Ailsa and I said.

“ Thanks, I really appreciate it.” Tucker started to tear up.

“ Now don’t get all emotional. If you start crying the girls will too.” Kadri remarked.

This is just one way TUcker and Talia are different. Tucker has a heart! Talia’s been trying to get him to be more like her, but as you can see it ain’t working.

“ Well I think I see Talia, I should go see what she wants.” Tucker run toward Talia.  

“ Ok, See you in first class!” I yelled as he run.

“ Well Let's get to it we don’t want to be late for First class do we.” Ailsa reminded kadri and I.

“ Yeah, let’s get to class.” Kadri pushed, “ Now that I’m being forced to go to school, I’m a little curious to know what this secret is.”

“ Me too.” I said walking into the Academy.

The Academy might seem small on the outside, but when you first walk in it’s like someone tore down the old school that you just saw and built an even bigger one right before your eyes. There are about four floors, five hundred different classrooms, and about four thousand different Kids who attend the Academy. I was amazed the first time I saw it. The class we are going to is in the first classroom on the second floor.

“ So Regan you excited to see what the Secret is. Oh I bet you are. This is going to be the best surprise yet!”

“ Ailsa stop talking. If you don’t I’m afraid that you might blurt it out and even though you might be happy to let Regan know what it is before seeing it. I’d rather her find out after the explosion happens.”

“ Who said it’s going to end in explosion?” I asked even more scared than before.

“ Nobody! Nothing's going to blow up, This time.” Ailsa inferred.  

“ Hey girls, and Kadri. I see you made it just in time to see what I have planned.” Mrs. Ancompra was sitting in her desk. next to her desk was this huge box. Could it be is the surprise is in there? “ I bet you’re wondering what is in this big box next to me! Well look for yourself."
