Chapter 8-the day that changed my life
After 5 days of studies, Lisa and Alice guided us to our classroom for our test, as Lisa told, there were two classrooms, Angels and dragons, we just went to a random classroom, the classification takes place after we pass the test. So yup the block we were in, was for first years/first graders, had two floors, each floor had two classrooms, the second floor was for angels and the first class consisted of 20 people and the other class consisted of another 20 people, downstairs was for the dragons, one classroom consisted of 20 and the other, 20, same as the Angels..this block was for the home classrooms of the first years, there are different blocks for different subjects and different areas for different grades, so the last years have an entire different area called north wood in where they're blocks are, our area was called Eastwood.And ya in each area, the main block(is in which our home classrooms are)is huge and is located in the front and the rest of the blocks are located according to their importance.each block also has their own sports field, cafeteria, mini library(these libraries are not included in the official campus libraries, the three main libraries) a park, an assembly hall and a small activity/church-kinda place, like a experimenting place I guess, the campus also had two graveyards and one church, one temple and one mosque for all types of religions, even though they don't believe in different gods and religions, they built these because people wanted to worship their gods and said they'd leave if they didn't allow them to do so.
We went to the dragons classroom for the test because it was downstairs. When we got the question papers, I went through the paper, we got a 20 min reading time and we got 2 hours to complete writing the paper, the paper consisted of two A4 sheets and one half sheet. Since me and riya prepared a lot, it was easy for us but I didn't get two questions, I didn't even attempt them, so I was kinda scared but I aced the power point presentation, our spiritual psychology teacher and our principal said mine was one of the best because I captured the depth and insight.we also had two activity rounds, one in the experimental place and one in the graveyard, I got an A in both of them, everybody said I had great spiritual hidden knowledge.after the test was done, we had the last part of getting selected, an interview with the principal!
I was the fourth last person to go, when I opened the door, he said "well fuller, your first Impression wasn't that great, remember?in the hall, we haven't had one late student to the main hall for the reopening ceremony from the past 30 years!and you and your two little bratty friends did it this time! But when me and miss Walker corrected your paper, we were shocked to see such great SPIRITUAL knowledge!i must say, you've left two questions but they only consisted of 1 mark each, and you've got everything correct, in the activity round you've got A+ for both! In the power point, me and mr.james, your spiritual psychology teacher loved your presentation and it was one of the best! Your score is 88/100 till now, the interview will get you 10 marks, your first till now and the best in your batch, if you hadn't left those two questions this interview wouldn't have really been that necessary for you, the questions were simple, but it's ok, if you ace this interview, and get 10 marks, your score will be 98, and you'll be the topper, we will pay the fees and the recruitment money for this semester and the next!thats your reward, if you get two, you'll be selected, so let's see" I said "okay, I'm ready, go on"
"This is a situational question, I'll put you in a situation and you'll have to tell me how you'll react, your alone at home, imagine your home is located away from the city and away from people, someone knocks your door, you open it, it's your mom, you spend some good quality time together, but after s while she becomes possessed by a dangerous spirit and tries to harm you, you'll have two options:kill her or try escaping, what will you do?"
"I'd choose neither, I replied, I'll have to think outside the box, I'll have to realize that these two options are not the only two options, I guess your trying to test my thinking and my capability, well I'd contact an exorcist or a priest, but first I'd make the lemon chilli charm and Lock her inside and try all the other ways to keep spirits away."
"Wrong, fuller, I've got many answers like this, your not really putting the effort, I see, your thinking it's easy, if you really put yourself in the situation and thought from that perspective, you wouldn't be giving me such silly answers, use your brain!"
I was really sad.
She asked me nine more questions after that, I answered another question wrong, I answered the rest correct, she loved my answers for three questions.so anyways, I got two wrong, and the rest right, so my score was 8, but since she thought my answers for three questions were the best till now in all the batches, she gave me a free point, that makes it 9.
My score was 97, she said if no one after scores above 97, I'll be the topper and I'll get the reward, but if someone does, I won't but I'll still get selected, anyways, I already got selected!!!i was jumping!
After I exited the room, I went and sat with the others who finished, we were waiting for the other three to finish. I asked riya and Brooke how they did, Brooke said she got selected and she got 91, riya said that she passed too and got 95, I told them I got 97, they couldn't believe it, we had a group hug and congratulated ourselves for getting selected.
I asked them if they knew how much the fees was, riya told me that her brother told her that this year it's 20000£(pound sterling (GBP)that's Scottish currency. And in USD it's around 26,000$
Which wasn't really that much because I go to a private school and it costs us around 28,000$
Plus, if I came first we didn't even need to pay!!
After a while, when everybody was done with their interviews, principal jimmy came and told who the topper was and he read out the names of the people who got selected, only 40 did. And I was the topper, I almost cried!!i was really happy, I can't even explain it! They said they've sent the emails to the parents of the children who need to pay, they sent the transaction details and more details. But 10 people's parents couldn't really afford it so they had to go, they didn't get recruited, while the other 30 did!
So this time each section was only gonna have 15 people.
So yes we got recruited, we're students of Willow's academy now!
When we got back to our flat, Alice and Lisa threw a party for us, we invited hailey and Marcus and Brooke and Alex over.
The party was EPIC, they decorated the house, and we ordered a lot of Scottish-American food. We danced a lot and we relaxed in the jacuzzi, to top it all off, we watched a pure Scottish movie and another horror movie.but the best part was when Lisa and Alice gave me and riya our own flat keys!! They also got membership at the library and at the Scottish cafe for us! How sweet!i asked her when we get to attend classes and learn stuff, she told us that generally newly recruited students leave after a week of getting recruited(it's their wish when to leave, they can also leave right after getting recruited)and come back when the new semester begins because, then the fifth grade students would pass of and the current first graders will go to second grade and we will have space, but if we want we can stay back here and wait for the next semester to begin, but we are not allowed to move around the campus when they(fifth graders)have exams, they're usually conducted during the last three or two months, but otherwise, we can enjoy and relax, we can't attend any classes we can just roam or we can take tuition classes for early preparation.
"Ohh so you guys won't be there next Sem?, cause you'll pass of right?and I didn't know there are current first graders studying, why didn't we see them while writing the test?"
"I'm sad too.you guys didn't see the current first and second graders because they won't on a field trip to London,they'll be back after two weeks, that is why the campus looks really empty lol"
"Woah, that's cool"we replied.
I was really sad they'd leave but they told me that both, Alice and Lisa live in Orlando so I can meet them every time I return home.
"Wait, wait, wait, if you guys won't be staying here anymore, that means we can't stay in this duplex flat anymore, we're supposed to look for another flat, right?" We asked.
"Well, not necessarily, if you can afford paying the rent or even better, buying this duplex after we leave, it's still yours, but if you can't, yes you'll have to look for another flat in another block, because the flats in this block are basically in the same price range"
"How much does this flat cost, to rent?" We asked.
"Uhh around 300$ per month. They'll convert it into pounds, don't worry"
We asked our parents and they said it was ok, so we thought we'll pay 150$ each.
So we went downstairs, to the lobby and told them we were gonna rent this flat after they leave, we also payed the advance, so they booked it for us, basically it was ours after the new Sem begins.
While we were going back(upstairs)we met Alex's roommate, Lucas, he looked really sad and scared, we asked him what happened, he told us that Hana died, we asked him how, he didn't say anything, he just went off, without talking, we went after him to find out, we also texted Lisa and told her to tell everyone to come down to Brooke's flat.
We asked Lucas, he wasn't replying.
After A minute someone knocked the door, it was our receptionist, Nancy, she told us that the principal called an assembly and each one of us(including the teachers, the receptionist, everyone!)had to assemble in the main hall right now, so she told us to come.
