Yellow Rose

Once the group had gotten back tired and somehow still soaking wet even with the umbrellas. They slumped onto some chairs in the corner of the hall where Lorenzo. As soon as they sat down a piece of paper flew into their hands, on it was times and classes written on it.

"I hope we all have classes together," Luka said as Layla opened her timetable.

"Hey, we have the same English class and math with James," Luka said looking over her shoulder. "And we all have the same UAIC (Understand and identify creatures) classes together," said Luka

Layla dressed into her pyjama's wet hair at her shoulders, and she walked out to see her figure in the dark lighting candles. As the figure turned around Layla saw a familiar girl her age with magnificent sky-blue eyes that stood out from her long flowing orange hair that reminded Layla of a roaring campfire. Her pale skin glowing in the light getting the light freckles on her nose to her cheeks.

"Hi, your Layla, right?" asked the girl

"Yeah" stuttered Layla.

"Well, the name is Artemis, Artemis Fallstar"

Looking at Artemis's blue eyes filled with kindness and her contagious bright smile causing Layla to fill with a sense of joy and a small smile crept up her face as well.

"So sorry about yesterday and can you please tell Lorenzo that I'm sorry I tried to find him but he's very difficult to find," she said

"Oh, you can tell them yourself I'm sure they'll understand," Layla replied

Layla was dying internally as she walked to her Understand and identify creatures with the group to find a giant area like building. She was praying that this class was better than her English. As she found out quickly that English class with Luka was hell, the entire lesson the teacher; Professor Clark a man with short brown hair and a bird like face, a wrote on the board with messy cursive waiting a full three seconds before erasing it and replaced it with a new paragraph, Layla ended up with half of lines by the end of the class and was too embarrassed to ask for help or for the Professor to slow down so she just had to sit there and suffer.

Now looking at the tall stone walls in a circle surrounding her and her classmates. Nervous energy reeked in the air. Until a lanky man limped in dragging suitcase behind him, he was tall and boney with fare skinned and blond hair casually dressed in a dirty white hoodie rolled up to his elbows showing his sacred arms and brown leather pant tucked into his boots.

"Hello class, I'm Professor Thomas your Understand and identify creature's teacher," he said "and today we'll quickly let the student from the new program introduce themselves then we'll go over what we'll be doing for the year plus some safety rules. So first we'll let the students that started this then let the new students say their name and a fact about them self"

Slowly a group of students walked to the front of the room before James spoke up

"Hi, I'm James Luna and me and Lorenzo Ezra Lost started the 'Welcoming Gifted Out of forest project'" the classes laughed until the teacher hushed them "we're working on the name"

"Hello, I'm Lorenzo and I'm half elvish," they said taking their mask off the show the purple marking around their face before gesturing the group to continue

"Hello, I'm Artemis and I'm part fallen"

"Uh hi I'm Layla and I like flowers" said probably too quiet to hear and saying the last bit more like a question.

"Hi, I'm Eli and I have a dragon named Oreo" said causing the class to look at the short boy with short messy brown hair a funny look he seemed to be oblivious to.
