I didn't realize that I was stunned by the picture. I turned to Mr. Ross. “In that case, fire is mama's power, and water is papa's,” I said.
“No,” replied Mr. Ross.
“Your Mama can control the four elements and these are water, fire, air, and earth. So you, Mademoiselle, belong to the highest kind of enchantress. You don't know your power yet, maybe just water, or water and fire, or just earth or air and whatever combination, because you are not pure-blooded Elementalians. Now you may have difficulty releasing your power, so you need protection. I will serve to protect you. But there is only one thing we can be sure of, and you are strong, too strong,” he said.
A woman came in, that woman who poured water on her face. Mr. Ross immediately left.
“Hi! I'm Shane Taylor!” she said excitedly.
“Uhm, hello?” I answered awkwardly. “I really can't believe it,” she said excitedly. She even touched my face. It's like she doesn't believe I'm human. It's like I'm a ghost.
“Uhm, why?” I asked awkwardly.
“Did you know that the Elementalians are extinct?” she said. “Then,” I replied. “You are Elementalians! We thought the kingdom Elementalia was just a legend, but you are real!” she excitedly said.
“Is that why people have been whispering to me?” I asked.
“Yes, because like me, they also can't believe that you exist! Wait, did you know that we are cousins?” she said with so much hyped.
“Cousin? Are we?” I asked.
“Of course, Prince Carlos is my mother's brother. He's not the crown prince because he's the black sheep of the family. I heard he died, but the truth is he fell in love with the legendary Elementalians, your mother,” she said.
“In that case, we are really cousins,” I said; it is my awkward answer.
“Of course we are cousins; gosh, I can't believe that I have a legendary cousin, hahaha. So that is it, cuz, I am Shane Taylor, the princess of the water kingdom. But of course, you are a princess of the water kingdom too because your father used to be a prince,” she said energetically. She is so hyper.
“Uhm, okay,” I answered awkwardly.
“I'm your roommate, and when you go out the door, there's another door, right? That's my room, so basically, let's split the cr, kitchen, and the living room. If it's okay with you, we can set a schedule for who will use the bathroom. Wait, I'll get my memo first,” she said, looking super excited.
“Don't; I'm not really a picky person, so I don't need scheduling,” I stopped her.
“Okay! So I'm out. Let's have dinner together. Hit me up if you need anything. Bye, cuz,” she said as she jumped towards the door.
Seriously, I have a cousin. She looks and acts like a child. Seriously, she really looks like a 7-year-old kid. Well, she is cute and has a young face.
I opened my suitcase, and I immediately saw an envelope. I opened it, and it contained a necklace. It has a letter attached.
‘SWEETIE, ALLYSHA. I KNOW AT THIS TIME. YOU ALREADY KNOW THE TRUTH. WE BELONG IN THE MAGIC WORLD. EVEN THOUGH I DON'T WANT TO SEND YOU THERE, I JUST WANT YOU TO BE HERE NEXT TO ME. BUT I CAN'T. YOU NEED TO LEAVE. THEY WANT YOU, MY CHILD, SWEETIE BECAUSE YOU ARE MEANT TO END BLACK MAGIC. AT ACEDÈMIA DE MAGIE, I CAN ENSURE YOUR SAFETY. THE NECKLACE ATTACHED TO THIS LETTER WILL BE YOUR PROTECTION. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, MY DAUGHTER, MY EVERYTHING, ALLYSHA.’
I was immediately feeling sad when I read the letter, I wanted to cry, but I was holding myself back because for me, only the weaklings cry. I arranged my belongings in the cabinet. “Are you done arranging things, Allysha? Join me at the admission office, hehe,” Shane said that I didn't even realize she had entered my room.
“Yes, it's over. I'll get dressed first,” I replied.
“Great hehe, after we get to the admission office, we can go to the cafeteria for food.” He said and went out of the room.
I parted my hair, and I braided my hair into haft. I was wearing my crop top white shirt, black shorts, pairing with black knee socks, and black indoor slippers. Of course, nothing beats me, even in fashion.
I left my room and went to the living room. Shane sat there happily watching the paw patrol. Tsk, she is really a total weirdo. She turned to me, and her complexion rose.
“You dress so weirdly, cuz,” she stated.
“Excuse me, and my fashion is not weird. Your fashion is really weird,” I said while looking at her long white dress, a dolphin cut white dress.
She's wearing a nice dress, and it looks like she's ramping on the red carpet. She's just at home, wait, she's in the dorm. I forgot because I missed my home.
“We are conservative in clothing, and we don't want to show a lot of skin. But that's okay, and there is no rule about fashion. You can wear what you want,” she said with a smile.
She took my hand, and we walked out of our dorm together. In the dorm, the dressed women are already looking at me, even better than the oscar's nominees when it comes to dressing—wearing a long dress that covers their ankles. It is really weird for me.
“What floor are we on,” I asked.
“We are on the 15th-floor, cuz,” she replied.
We took the elevator. We exited the girl's dorm. The academy is wide. What we walk is a paved road with Bermuda grass edges and tiny trees. There are also few flowers. The area is surrounded by buildings and walls. It was beautiful. Even it was surrounded by buildings and infrastructures. The beauty cannot be denied. But, it doesn't feel comfortable even if it is beautiful maybe because this place is mysterious and full of unworldly things. We met the fire guy, the one who put out the fire in his palm. The annoying guy, I am really pissed every time I see his boastful face.
“Hi, Tyler,” Shane greeted happily. Tyler just looked at him supposedly and stared at me, from head to toe.
“Tsk,” it annoying said and continues walking, passing as by.
