Well here I am standing just outside of...a school right? It looks like a school but last I checked they don't usually look like they have been bombed. The whole entrance was just...gone...and there was a crater big enough to bury two buses at least. Yellow tape all over the place along with many tools and supplies ready for use. We're not at war with anyone are we?
I know I can be pretty oblivious but I'm pretty sure I would catch that...I hope.
I feel as though I'm out of the loop on something as the students arriving seem to not take much more than a few glances at the scene. Most seem to have an air of anger around them. What could've happened to make this place feel so...dense?
"I still can't believe what she did to the front of the school." I overheard a female student say to her group as they made their way to a side entrance with the rest of the students.
"Yeah they're totally gonna expel her. Hopefully throw her in jail." My eyes widened after hearing that.
So a student did this? Na there's no way. I've heard of people doin some dumb stuff but...Whatever this is?
I looked over the damage again and my face went back to my neutral expression. Wait...no...I take it back. The I Q points of the average person seem to be dropping so this ain't a stretch. I turned to follow the other students inside as I remember the videos of people dropping firecrackers down their pants as well as other various forms of stupidity. Just please don't blow anything up while I nap. I happen to look down the rode and slowly making her way to the school was a fiery haired girl lookin like she was exhausted. I guess I'm not the only one tired of school.
I make my way to where the principal's office is and brace myself as I enter. "Good morning, you must be Silent Nova?" I tense up at the question directed at me as I acknowledge my mortal enemy...human contact.
"Yes ma'am." I said in a soft tone. Hoping to get this over quickly so I can establish my corners to occupy for the year.
"Well my name is Celestia and I'm the principal here at CHS." The woman says in a soothing tone.
Wait...Your not the janitor?! I sarcastically remarked. In my head of course I'm not stupid.
"I look forward to seeing how far you will go here at my school." She gives me a warm smile.
Now there's a safer one. "Well it probably won't be very far...the school ain't that big." I then return her smile.
Celestia gave a small chuckle at that. "That may be but I hope that ACADEMICALLY...you will go far. I believe I have a good grasp of the students with the brightest minds." She gave me a warm smile and I immediately conjure a image of two moles popping out of their holes with mallets attempting to hit each other...complete with squeaky noises.
I had to bite my cheek to keep from laughing at the randomness of my own mind. "I'm sure you've seen my grades before I got here. More like someone forgot to pay the light bill."
Celestia's face turned to a slight frown. "Now why would you think that?"
I shrugged giving a small sigh. "I don't know, it's just how I've felt." She smiles again luckily picking up that I'm not much of a talker.
She returns to her warm smile understanding what I'm doing. "Well I hope your time here changes your mind."
I smiled back. "Who knows...we did land on the moon...eventually."
She chuckles "And with comebacks like that I know you have a sharp mind."
I give a big smile. "Bout as sharp as a bowlin ball."
Celestia jokingly sighed and rolled her eyes and after a brief conversation about school specifics she hands me some paperwork. "Well here is the schedule for your classes. You better get going, first period just started."
I give a short wave as I laugh a little but just before I open the door I turn back to face Celestia. "Oh before I go I was wonderin. What happened outside?"
Celestia tensed up at my question as she seemed to debate on her response. She then cleared her throat and gave me a serious look. "I'm sure you will find out from your classmates but suffice to say that one of our students made an error in judgement. I only ask that when you learn the specifics that you don't spread it outside the school. We are trying to keep it under wraps as much as possible. We have already taken the necessary steps but I still must ask for your discretion."
My face had slowly morphed into one of confusion as she spoke. "Uh....ok...I um...." I give a nervous smile. "I guess it's a good thing I don't pay attention to much."
Celestia deadpanned. "Not really the kind of response I was looking for but I guess it will do for the moment." Celestia then returned to her warm smile. "I hope you have a pleasant day today and if you need anything my door is always open." I go back to the door confused as to what kind of response that was when the door suddenly started to open.
On instinct I quickly grabbed the handle to open it fully for whoever was coming in. I saw it was the same fiery haired girl from before lookin surprised to see me there holding the door. I just smile and gesture for her to go ahead as she lowers her head covering half her face with her hair. A quiet "thanks" was all I heard as she quickly entered then sat down in one of the chairs facing the desk, head hung low.
Ah I guess she must be the one the principal was talking about I thought. I start heading to my first class wondering just what could she have done to destroy the front of the school? The way she moved seemed to me like she was possibly hurt but it was probably just my imagination. I shouldn't stick my nose where it don't belong but why this tightness in my chest? Why does it feel like the halls are angry? As I walk to class I failed to notice a certain locker with the words "She-Demon" in black and red wrote upon it. Just need to get to my corner desk and not get in the way.
