New surroundings

2020-10-12 16:03:11Several hours later, Rosewood finally came into view. It looked exactly like the picture, only that it was now a different season.
We drove over the drawbridge, which really existed, through a large gate and then into a small courtyard. Now we drove on past a large building until we came to many small houses that were close together. Presumably these were the accommodations where the students were accommodated.
The car stopped in front of one of the white little houses, Steve got out and slammed the door. He went to my car door and opened it. Like the Queen, I got out and examined my new surroundings, it looked like a fairy tale. You just had that medieval feeling here, which was somehow something very special.
Steve took my suitcases, dragged them to the little house and set them down in front of the door. I followed him and looked at him expectantly.
He took a kind of master key out of his trouser pocket, opened the front door and went in with my suitcases, where he put them down. That was probably my little house, and as I had expected, it was already occupied by a roommate.
"Hey, I'm June, and you?" In front of me stood a slim, medium-sized girl with blonde, short curly hair.
"I'm Apryl", I introduced myself and tried to make a nice impression, after all I would share this little house with her for a while. This June nervously chewed her lower lip and eyed me curiously. How did she imagine her future roommate?
"Come with me, I'll show you everything," with these words she dragged me into the first room.
I actually liked her straight away, you could just tell that she was nice. You could see that in some people. She was definitely loved by the teachers, because they loved such likeable faces.
"Well, this is the living room," she pointed to the large room, which was comfortably furnished.
The living area was equipped with a flat screen TV, a spacious leather couch, an Indian carpet and a lot of plants. There were cacti everywhere on the windowsill. Two very unusual blooming plants were placed on the loudspeakers in the corners of the rooms, and June hadn't skimp on indoor plants, flowers and herbs either.
Personally, I had nothing against plants, just wouldn't do the job and water them. The little houses that belonged to Rosewood High were all just as big. Accordingly, the school cost more each month. Still, I didn't think our living area was really that big. I wondered how many students were visiting Rosewood.
"You know, I haven't been here for very long either, but I've already researched very thoroughly and already know a lot and ... What I actually wanted to say was that I can help you if you need or want to know something “, She offered me her help and chewed on her lower lip again. And June pulled me straight on, into the next room.
"And this is our room, so we have to share it. This is your bed and this is mine," she pointed to the two beds in the room.
One of them was already covered with dark blue bed linen, the other was still empty. That was probably my bed then.
On the wall above June's bed were two long boards that she used as a bookcase. She had stacked the books untidily on top of one another and stuffed them in all sorts of corners where there was still room. The shelves were sagging thanks to the weight of the books.
Otherwise the room seemed very friendly, as there were two windows through which the light flooded in.
Next, my new roommate led me to the last room, the bathroom.
"And that is the bathroom that we will also share. Oh yes, if you go around the corner in the living room there is also a kitchenette where we can cook. Actually, there is also a kind of common room with a small canteen, But nobody goes there because the food is just terrible. Plus, cooking is just a lot of fun, "she told me.
"Lessons don't start until tomorrow, so you can put all your stuff away. You have to go to the headmaster at 5:00 pm today, he'll explain a little something and give you your schedule."
"Uh, okay. Then I'll start unpacking my stuff."

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
Welcome To The Mystery Land Apologize
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
Welcome To The Mystery Land Blue eyes
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
Welcome To The Mystery Land Uncomfortable
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
Welcome To The Mystery Land Brother?
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.
