Professor Alcon whispers a good luck to both of us. Annie struts up the dragon and before she can even stop he lifts his right wing. The tables on the right side erupted in cheers as my Heart is crushed. I am tied between my sister and my best friend, but then again this wasn't my choice. I take a deep breath and step inside, on each side of me are long tables holding many students. The dining hall was bright and most of it was a worn golden color. The left side was colored with blue's purples and greens. Keep your head high, confidence Ellie, confidence. I reminded myself. Getting closer, the dragon was bigger than she expected, he looked squished in the huge room, even while laying down. His face was spiky and pointed. As I walked down the aisle the dragon looked me up and down. I felt a chill down my spine as I stood in front of the massive creature. I stood there for a long time as he just watched me, or for better words studied me. He opened his huge mouth revealing sharp white teeth, and for a second I thought he was going to eat me.
"This one is interesting, this one is...important" his deep husky voice shook the hall. Whispers erupt from both tables. Important? why am I important? I don't want to be important, or do I? No, important equals trouble, and trouble equals bad.
"Silence!" yells a tall skinny woman with dark gray hair. This was the woman calling names. The dragon leaned closer and I to a tiny step back, Somehow I kept a courageous look on my face. The dragon came very close and took a deep breath. My hair wiped in my face as he smelled me. He then slowly lifted his head and his left wing.
There was a second of silence until the left wing table erupted into applause and cheers, louder than the other ones. I couldn't help but smile. people are clapping for me, people are cheering for me, this was the best I've felt in forever. As I strolled over the table I saw the boys giving me a standing ovation, and Abby was cheering from atop Sam's shoulders. Even as they called a few more names I still felt eyes on me.
"I knew it, she's left wing, pay up bitches" Mateo yells as Carder, Jack, Hugo, Enzo, and Sam slaps money into his hand.
"You bet on my placement?" I sit laughing.
"Of course, the easiest way to gain money" says Sam, sitting Abby in between me and him .
"Or lose money in your case" Carder says across from me with the manic smile he always wears.
"You should not be talking, you just lost 250 bucks" Jack says next to me calmly looking at his book.
"Oh Damn, he got you there" Enzo says, patting Carder on the arm.
"Eh it's whatever, I can just get 250 or 260 dollars from father over mail, I mean 260 out of the 10.8 million it's almost nothing" Carder says, flicking his hand.
"Quiet please" yelled the tall woman, when nobody quieted she yelled louder "SILENCE" everyone shut up instantly. She called a few more names, Right, Right, Left, Right, Left. The dragon doesn't speak to anyone else.
"Well that was quite an eventful choosing wasn't it. Now to get on with the speech, This school was built over 3 centuries ago to protect magical Blooded, this school was not only built by people but was also built by the dragons, we should be grateful that they are letting us live here, now if we could get a round of applause for our own principle." Everyone clapped "now, you have waited enough, enjoy this feast" she announces holding her hands up high. Instantly the various doors that lined the walls slammed open and servants poured out holding giant platters of heaping piles of food. A well dressed man put plates and silverware in front of us before walking away. My eyes widened as I have never seen this much food before. I let out a breath that I seemed to have been holding all day, and finally hunger struck me, I piled food like everyone was. The smells were amazing but intoxicating, roast chicken, roast turkey, ham, and steak for the meat. Dinner rolls, garlic nots, and a few different types of pasta. Down the table there was pitchers of different drinks
"What drink is that?" I asked Enzo pointing to a pitcher with red liquid in it, the girl sitting a few people away from him was using it.
"Cherry juice, why do you want some?" He asked chewing some spaghetti.
"Well yah, but after she's done" I say.
"You're actually going to wait?" He raises his eyebrows.
"I mean I don't want to but... what are you doing?" I ask as Mateo next to him gets up, walks over to the girl, and rips the pitcher out of her hands. I couldn't help but laugh at the girls face, anger and embarrassment.
"Why did you do that? I said I would wait" I asked taking the pitcher from him.
"You said that you didn't want to wait, so I did you a favor because I am just that kind of guy" Mateo says acting like a hero. And referring to when I said he was not a good guy.
"Bullshit, You will never be that guy, and don't even try to fake it" I say poring the drink.
"I think what you mean is: thank you Mateo, and you're welcome Elorah" he says smirking.
"Yah ok" I scoff sarcastically. I continued eating as the boys around me talked. After I was done eating I joined whatever the boys were talking about.
"I hope that you all are satisfied with your meal today, but I know that today was probably tiring so you are all dismissed remember curfews at 9:00" the lady yells after a while.
"9:00? I am not going to bed at 9:00!" I say exasperated.
"No Ellie, we just need to be at our floor at 9:00" Sam laughed as we got up.
"Does she really expect people to fallow that rule?" I ask picking up Abby, who was explaining her, my little pony dolls to Carder who was trying to act interested. It was surprising how much the boys care, the was Sam explained them was different.
"Professor Higgins does, and most people don't go out. I mean most people are scared of the principal so they don't do anything wrong" he explained.
"Oh yah I noticed that he didn't speak to anyone else, why is that?" I asked him.
"That was actually the first time I have ever heard him speak" Sam says as we walk out the boys trailing behind us.
"I want to walk" Abby says. I put her down taking hold of her hand as we walked into the courtyard. The night sky is still and quiet above us.
"Excuse me are you Ms Elorah Quinn?" Asked  girl about Sam's age.
"Yes that's me and this is Abigail Quinn" I say gesturing to Abby.
"I have your level number, and your schedule" she says handing me a piece of paper.
"Thank you" I said. I took a fast glance at my schedule.

"Of course" the girl said walking away.
"What's your level?" Carder says Taking the paper out of my hand. The boys, (except Hugo) crowded around him.
"No way, 21!!" Carder yelps as he jumped up and down, All the boys were smiling to.
"Looks like your stuck with us, Doll" Enzo says putting his arm around my shoulders.
"absolutely not, never call me that again" I yell hitting Enzo's face.
"Ow" he says laughing, Sam pulls him off of me. Carder gives me the paper back, so I put it in my pocket.
"Ok so, what the hell are you talking about, levels" I ask.
"Ok so you see these two big towers? Both of them have 28 levels. 25 of the levels holds 12 or so kids, 6 boys and 6 girls" Sam explained pointing at the towers
"So there's only about 600 kids in this whole school?" I ask doing the math in my head.
"Actually... wait what?" Sam looks at me confused.
"Am I wrong?" I worry, recalculating the answer.
"No, no it's right, did you do that in your head?" Sam asks and the boys looked at her confused.
"I told you I was good at math" I shrugged. Everyone looked impressed.
"so that would mean there's only 25 people in one grade?! that's so small"
"Actually from year one to year six, there's only twenty people in each grade. And from year seven to year twelve there's 80 kids in each grade. because the academy was originally built to only house kids from seventh year and up. But a lot of people want to go to the same school as there siblings" Sam explained.
"That makes sense" I say nodding. This was so much for my brain to take in right now. Out of the corner of my eye I spot Annie and my face lights up, she was standing with a group of five girls and three boys.
"Annie!" I yelled before taking off towards her.
