2020-10-12 16:02:12The car will pull up in half an hour, you should get ready slowly," my father reminded me, who had a whole bunch of these sweet temptations on his plate.
I just grumbled in a bad mood, got up and left the plate where it was. Let my dad put it away, after all, I wasn't the one who was so obsessed with order.
Only now did I realize that I had fallen into my dad's trap: the pancakes. He tried to apologize with a wonderful breakfast for simply sending me to Montana without even including me. And unfortunately this plan worked, my father was really dangerous. When my father felt guilty about something, he would pull out all the stops and do anything for me. The main thing is that he no longer had a guilty conscience. That was its weak point, which I of course recognized immediately, and of course I had often exploited it for my own purposes. For example, a year ago, in the summer, we wanted to fly to the Bahamas. However, my father had something business intervened and unfortunately had to cancel the entire vacation. Of course, he had a guilty conscience then, knowing that I had been really looking forward to the vacation with him. Shortly afterwards he bought me a whole new line of shoes and bags, and by that I mean the really expensive things. That was of course not the only time, I had often pulled the money out of his pockets when he had no time and had to cancel something.
Since the car would be arriving soon, I had to get ready in the bathroom quickly. There I pulled my hair back into a high ponytail. Then I put on some make-up, after all, I didn't want to look like a raccoon.
When I finally got out of the bathroom, my father was fetching my four suitcases from my room and putting them down in front of the front door. Exactly at that moment, a sparkling, black BMW drove up to our door and finally stopped.
A seriously dressed man got out of the car, wearing a black suit, jeans and a loose white t-shirt. I estimated him to be about 40 years old, but no older. Dad had told me that this chauffeur always brought the new students to Rosewood. That was a service.
"Hey, I'm Steve, the chauffeur. Can I put the suitcases in the car?" Steve asked kindly.
"I'm Apryl and yes, please," I replied and smiled.
The man gave me and my dad a quick nod, then stowed my luggage in the trunk.
I was still mad at my father, but I would say goodbye to him anyway. After all, we wouldn't see each other for a while.
My dad hugged me, rocked me back and forth like a toddler, and finally let go of me. I almost feared he wouldn't let go of me at all. Just fathers.
"Have fun and make some effort," said my dad.
Have fun? Did he just really wish me a lot of fun? He probably lived in his own world, because in mine, school had absolutely nothing to do with fun. However, I kept my mouth shut and just nodded well.
"See you then, Dad," I said goodbye and quickly sat down in the back seat of the BMW.
I generally hated goodbyes, so I always tried to get it over with as quickly as possible. It wasn't as if I would never see him again, even if I was driven almost to the other end of the world. Okay, actually there was only one state between California and Montana, but for me it was very far away.
When we drove off he waved, jumping up and down slightly, looking like an excited toddler. I waved back a little more discreetly, I didn't want to overdo it. In addition, my options here in the car were somewhat limited. He must have felt guilty about his soft heart, but I think he deserved it.

Welcome To The Mystery Land Have fun
Did you actually listen to me?" It came from June."Huh?" I made absently. Since I had been somewhere else with my thoughts, I unfortunately could not fully listen to her."The ball ..." June said slowly and looked at me in disbelief."You're telling me that you haven't listened at all for the last two hours? Then I'll have to explain everything again," June groaned annoyed."So it was about that Halloween party, right?""Exactly. We need real costumes, something original. No Twilight nonsense and no discounter scraps.""Okay, okay," I said, holding up my hands soothingly.She told me all over again, leaving no details out, and telling me what she had heard from the party last year. Of course she hadn't even been to school then, but she had asked around a little, as she also told me. At some point I ignored some of what she was telling me because she spoke without a period.She cheered excitedly, and I really wonder

closed my eyes, wondering if this was a tactic to get me around or if it was just for concentration."Okay, what are you feeling right now?"I listened curiously inside myself and tried to find out what I was feeling. There was just ... nothing."Nothing at all."I could literally hear him put on such a smug smile again, yes yes, read that right, heard! Suddenly I felt warm breath on my skin and shortly afterwards warm, soft lips on mine. My brain was switched off, I had stopped thinking, that apparently wasn't too difficult for me.At first I stiffened, then I kissed back. Thinking wasn't an option right now. He pulled away from me again and I opened my eyes. I was shocked, excited, angry - furious - and well, I was seething inside me."And what are you feeling now?" He asked me and grinned at me.I would have loved to slap myself because I had actually fallen for him. That bullshit. I probably had to show him where the hammer
Welcome To The Mystery Land Misheard?
What actually happened? I just remember how all the devices flew through the air," I said, thinking of the little tornado that had swept through the room."That wasn't the machine, honey. It was you," Lucian told me.I just skipped over the 'sweetness', I really didn't feel like arguing, and above all no energy. Should I now claim damages, or what exactly did he mean by that? I wasn't Bruce Almighty after all, was I? Maybe the tornadoes were one of my skills?"We believe that your ability is the element of air. Every millennium exactly four of us are born with elements. This is actually quite unusual as each ability of us is unique. Each other's abilities are sometimes repeated over the millennia, however it is never exactly the same, but rather a facet of it. However, the elements are repeated more or less regularly and those who have these abilities mostly perform some miracles. Caesar was also one of us gifted. He ruled the element earth, that was carved in s

Damien pulled the metal thing down a little further in front of my face and then put it on me like glasses. It even had temples like this and I was kind of forced to look through them.Then he fastened my arms and legs with leather straps and tested them again to make sure that they were really tight enough."How long does it usually take?" I asked him.I was a little intimidated by this device. Most of all, I was worried that I was buckled up like a convict. I couldn't move either, I'd already tried that."It depends," Damien muttered."And for what?""You will see."Damien went to the door and locked it so that it was now pitch dark. This room had no windows or lamps and every second it only got more creepy.The nerdy, whose name I still didn't know, squealed like a cornered guinea pig. I hadn't noticed that she was still in the room. What was she doing here? That wasn't a cinema."Okay, let's go", with the

Yeah ... he's just as hot as Damien. I would say it's a matter of taste," June said and her thoughts were probably somewhere else."Probably more of an aberration of taste. His ego really needs to be rubbed down like the one on it. He probably expects every female being to adore him and -""It's Damien, after all. I mean ... it's Damien!"A few people turned to us and grinned knowingly before moving on."June, I think we have to go back to class," I said as the corridor was now emptying faster and faster."What a bummer, next we have skills. Come on now!" June suddenly said impatiently to me and pretended to be texting her the whole time.We went to the said subject in a hurry. I was relieved to find that Teacher wasn't there yet. We were in a gym or something like that.The entire gym was made of metal, except for the floor and windows, and security devices that stood around. First aid kits were attached to a wall every two meters, t

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep ..."Where's that goddamn alarm clock?" I growled half asleep.Rest, finally. June had turned the alarm off. Why did my mornings always start with the high-pitched ringing of an alarm clock?"Shit! It's almost half past seven!" She shouted, shocked, and literally jumped out of bed.Now my lazy bum started moving too, I threw back the covers and put on my pink plush slippers.I shuffled into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. You could call me a scarecrow, my hair was completely knotted and I had dark circles.I owed the dark circles to the horror films yesterday evening - or rather today in the morning.I fought my way through my hair with my brush and after what felt like hours I had untied it. A little shocked, I looked at my brush. I hair like a dog or some other creature.I smacked a little more powder on my face, or rather on the dark circles, and smeared the edges with my index finger.
