Chapter 8

          

"Welcome to Slyther Meadow Elementary! I am Headmaster K. Wate, but you may call me Headmaster Kyle." Turns out that the man Sylvina met earlier was actually the headmaster. Headmaster Kyle sat down on a big desk at the front of the room. "This school has over 10,000 students and there are currently 124 new students present in this room." Suddenly, a hazel haired boy with bright blue eyes wearing a white top with a halo picture on it, dark brown pants, and dark yellow shoes came bursting in the room. "Make that 125 new students." He added.

"Sorry I'm late, I um... got lost." The boy said, Sylvina could tell that he was lying but somehow, the others couldn't.

"That's alright, take a seat." Headmaster Kyle said, he wasn't mad at all. The only seat left was one next to Sylvina, when he sat down, she could feel a strong, magical, positive, force from him but decided to ignore it. "Now, where were we, oh, yes. There are sheets of paper on each of your desks containing all the subjects you may choose from. The other sheets are notes I want you to take home to your parents, one of them includes all the schedules, when you don't have classes, you may stay in your dorms, if you are caught in the hallways during class you will be put in detention. While you fill in these forums, allow me to tell you why are classes are so unique, the reason is, we do not want to force anyone into doing anything they don't want to do, this way, you can choose what you want to do freely. You may choose more than 5 subjects if you wish, please read the rules carefully as there will be no excuse if you break them, once you have finished filling out these forums please hand them in and set up your dorms. You have the rest of the day and today only to explore the school and get to know each other and the school better, your dorm number is on the back of your schedule."

A few minutes later, Sylvina handed in her forum and walked towards the dorm area to find her room, she was relieved that it was one dorm per person instead of two people having to share one room. The room was pretty dull, it was new but dull, white walls, white floor, white rectangular bed, wooden shelves, one rectangular window, and so on, the bathroom was the same. There was a small desk that Slyvina decided to put her papers on.

"Maybe I can use just a little bit of magic to make this room a bit more, me." Sylvina started with putting up some light blue wallpaper and light purple flooring, then she made her bed an oval shape and also made it bigger, bluish purple bed sheets covered her bed and her pillows were the bright blue, her blanket was a darker shade of blue. "That's better, but it's missing a few things." She used her powers to make a dove shaped bedside lamp and put it on a small wooden table. "Now it's perfect." She sighed and flopped onto her bed, a sudden knock on the door interrupted her relaxing moment.

She opened a door and saw some textbooks, it took her some time to realize they were the subjects she chose. "Let's see." She said after taking the books inside her dorm. "Music, Writing, Chemistry, Art and design, Chinese, Biology, and History, that's it." She put them all neatly on a shelf and started to read her schedule, "I have Chinese on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, third period. Music on Monday and Friday, sixth period. Chemistry on Monday and Thursday, forth period. Art and design on Tuesday and Friday, fifth period. Biology on Tuesday and Thursday, second period. History on Tuesday and Wednesday, first period. And Writing on Wednesday and Thursday, fifth period. Wow that's a lot." Sylvina pinned her schedule onto a wall and decided to explore the school a bit.

The halls were filled with new faces, Sylvina hadn't been to a school for a long time, thoughts of her old school haunted her mind. What if she would be bullied again? What if she blows up this school with her powers? What if people find out who she really is? She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice a boy who was reading and walking at the same time heading in her direction, the both fell over when the bumped into each other.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Sylvina apologized quickly while getting back on her feet. 'Great, your making enemies on the first day.' She thought to herself and picked up the book that the boy dropped, she took a closer look at the boy and realized that he was the same kid that was late and who she had sensed a magical presence.

The boy stood up as Sylvina handed the book to him. "It's fine, I shouldn't be reading and walking at the same time. It's not your fault." He paused for a moment. 'Ok, Ethan, now's your chance to make a friend.' He thought to himself before introducing himself. "I'm Ethan Angelwood." Ethan held out his hand to do a handshake.

"I'm Sylvina Mastic." Sylvina replied, trying to not stutter while she was talking, she held out her hand to shake his.

An awkward silence was between them. "So... um... what classes did you choose?" Ethan tried to sound friendly.

"Music, Writing, Chemistry, Art and design, Chinese, Biology, and History." Sylvina whispered, she could still feel the same magical presence coming from him. "So, where are you from?"

"I... um... am from... um..." Ethan stuttered, truth was, he wasn't a normal human, he was actually an angel. "A very small city... called... um... Jump City, yeah, that's it..." He had heard his mother talk about the city being small. "Where are you from?"

"Same." Sylvina firmly said, Ethan looked nervous. Even though Sylvina knew she was supposed to use her powers, she wanted to know who he really was, so she reached into his mind and read his past, but before she could see anything, the speakers called her name.

"Sylvina Mastic to the headmaster's office, please." The speakers called, "Sylvina Mastic."

Sylvina thought that she was in trouble and walked slowly to the headmaster's office, but Ethan called out to her. "I'll see you at lunch, I guess." He said, Sylvina nodded and continued walking.

A few minutes of walking and she finally arrived at a wooden door with shades covering the square window on the top of the door. The words 'Headmaster K. Wate' were imprinted on the door, Sylvina took a deep breath and knocked, a voice called her inside. Once inside, you could see grey walls and white floor, three windows were behind the desk that the headmaster was sitting at, a chair was in front of that desk.

"Have a seat, Sylvina." He said, pointing to the chair, Sylvina sat down. "I need you to answer some questions, just say yes or no." Headmaster Kyle said while putting down the blinds. "You were adopted?"

"Yes." She replied.

"Do you know who your parents are?" He continued.

"Well, yes, but I don't know where they are, I mean I do know where they are, I just don't live with them currently." She didn't want the headmaster to know that she was actually from another planet.

"So, you live with the Teen Titans?" He asked, writing everything down on paper, Sylvina nodded. "Sylvina, I know about your powers, I know that you need to help your friends and can't be here every day." He confessed.

"H-How did you know?" Sylvina was nervous.

"Your friends told me, well, one of them did but I can't quite recall her name, was it Fire? No. Star? No. Firestar? Not it. Oh, that's right, Starfire, yes, she told me. Don't worry about it, your secret will not leave this room, I have told all of your teachers that you will not be attending their classes all the time and to not ask for a reason." Headmaster Kyle stopped before continuing. "There is also another student with almost the same issues as you but has to come here every day."

"What's the student's name?" Sylvina wondered if it could be Ethan.

"I'm afraid I cannot tell you that." Headmaster Kyle said, the bell rang, it was time for lunch. "You should be heading for the cafeteria." He walked over to the door and opened it for Sylvina, she walked out of the room and thanked the headmaster.

The halls were almost empty, and everyone was walking in the same direction, Sylvina followed them downstairs until she came to a room with a lot of tables and people lining up to get some lunch. Once she got some mashed potatoes, pasta, and an apple, she found a completely empty table and sat down. A few minutes later, Ethan showed up and sat beside her.

"Hey, Sylvina." He welcomed, "What's up? And why were you sent the headmasters?"

"Nothing much." Sylvina replied and took a bite of her apple. "And, I don't want to talk about it."

"You know, I'm taking Music, Chinese, and Chemistry classes, too. Maybe we could practice Chinese together and maybe hang out?" Ethan asked, a little embarrassed.

Sylvina paused. "Maybe." She said only one word. "What other classes do you take?"

"Um... Physical education, Coding, and Engineering." Ethan continued, but before he could, some screams could be heard in the distance.

"What was that?" Sylvina and Ethan said at the same time, the screams suddenly stopped which made all of the students in the cafeteria scared.

A black monster made of slime and shadows appeared before Sylvina, it had red, beady eyes and could shapeshift into anything. "Sylvina Snowfall Mastic... I have searched for you for a long time..." It said with its deep voice.

Screams, high pitched screams could be heard in the room. "Calm down everyone." A teacher said, "To the exit door, quickly!"

Once most of the students were out of the school, Sylvina noticed that Ethan wasn't going. "Ethan, run!" She told him.

"I'm not leaving you with that thing." Ethan stayed and closed the exit door. "Bring. It. On." He challenged the monster, a bright yellow light shone from him and when it cleared, Sylvina couldn't believe what she was seeing. White angel wings sprouted from his back and a light-yellow halo could be seen above his head.

"Ha. An angel?" The monster scoffed. "You are no match for the great and powerful Ooze!" Ooze was his name. "Leave this place, this is between me and the Zutarian, the last Zutarian who is still alive."

"Zutarian?!" Ethan had heard his mother say that they were one of the most powerful beings in the known universe. "You're a Zutarian?!"

Before Ethan could finish what he was going to say, Ooze had already shot some sort of very sticky substance that glued his wings together. Once he was on the ground, Ooze threw him against the wall, causing him to fall unconscious.

"Not so powerful after all." Ooze said, heading for Sylvina. She stood there, not moving, looking the monster in the eyes. "Half Zutarian, half demon, you are perfect to activate my machine to destroy the world."

"I will never help you in anything!" Sylvina shouted while firing light blue beams at Ooze. Ooze vanished into a puddle of black substance and trapped Sylvina, it took her some time to realize the substance was forming around her. "Ethan, I could really use some help about now. Wake up!" There was no response, he was still out cold. She used her magic to break free, she did it but she had some cuts on her.

Ethan woke up and the first thing he said was, "Darn it! My wings are stuck together." He tried to unstick them but couldn't.

"eulgnU sih sgniw." Sylvina said, his wings were free, but she was not paying attention and was thrown to a wall and Ooze held her in his hands.

"Let go of my friend!" Ethan shouted, a light-yellow beam of light shot at Ooze's hand, causing him to let go of her.

"This has gone on for long enough." A white ghost-like image of Megana appeared behind Sylvina, her eyes glowed white and her locket glowed a faint blue. A white aura surrounded Ooze and he just vanished into thin air, the ghost-like image fainted and Sylvina was back to normal. She knelt down and started to catch her breath.

"That was amazing!" Ethan shouted but saw that she was catching her breath. "Are you ok?"

"I'm-" Sylvina panted before continuing. "Fine." She got up and sat on one of the chairs. "I'm guessing that you're not really from Jump City."

"No, but neither are you." Ethan transformed back into his normal self and sat next to her. "I'm from the world above, my mother thought it would be a good idea for me to learn about helping the humans. How did you get here? Zutari disappeared ages ago."

"I didn't come from Zutari." She sighed. "My mother was sent to a place called Azarath just before Zutari disappeared, she fell in love with a demon and left Azarath, my brother was born and he inherited my father's powers but he erased our memories of him because he didn't want to put us in danger, I was born later on. Megana, my mother, and Terron, my father, sent me to Earth when I was really young because Trigon, my father's brother, was going to kill me and I don't know how I ended up with some abusive foster parents, later on, I went to Jump City Elementary School and was bullied there, I accidentally blew up the school when I couldn't control my powers. The Teen Titans found me and took me in and now, my brother has also found me. That pretty much sums up my life."

"That's a lot of stuff." Ethan tried to recall everything that she said. "So, where are your parents now?"

Sylvina was about to cry because she knew that she would never see her parents again and talking about them just made the feeling of sadness increase. "Zutari was swallowed by a shadow, the shadow came looking for my mother and she...sacrificed herself by sending her and the shadow to the fire prisons." Sylvina stopped before continuing and held in the tears that were escaping her eyes. "My father was depressed, so he... gave away his powers to a throne and... turned to stone." She hung her head low and cried silently.

"I shouldn't have asked." Ethan said once he saw that Sylvina was crying.

"It's fine." Sylvina stopped crying. "It's nice to tell someone about what happened. We better keep our powers secret."

Ethan nodded. "So, you are part of the Teen Titans?"

"I guess." Sylvina replied. "I won't be able to come to school every day because I need to help the others fight crime."

"Oh." Ethan seemed a bit disappointed. "I guess I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you, too." Sylvina tried to comfort him. "I'll come back as often as I can and you can always come to Titan Tower if you want to see me."

"You'll be here tomorrow, right?" Ethan asked.

"I think so." Sylvina stood up. "Do you want to explore the school a bit?"

"Sure, I guess." Ethan said.

The two friends talked and got to know each other and the school better, Sylvina called the Titans to tell them that she would be spending the night at the school, the others weren't finished with their activities so it was fine. At 4:00, the school speakers had an announcement.

"The school day has ended, please precede to your dorms or house. We wish that you have had a nice day today, dinner will be in the cafeteria." The speakers announced.

Sylvina and Ethan headed down to the cafeteria, after dinner, they headed to their own dorm rooms. School uniforms and school backpacks and stationary were delivered to every dorm. The school uniform contained a blue and white shirt, a dark blue skirt, and black shoes. Tomorrow was a Friday. For the first time, she felt safe in a school and felt happy, this was a good beginning.
