Chapter 15: Arriving at School (Part 2): Not So Happy Mothers and Not So Unhappy Children.
- In this school, there are no mistakes - Lady Lesso firmly clarified.
- Today they committed one - Sophie insisted.
- Fortune teller - he started with a mocking tone - you are a princess, and you should be on the other side - he commented looking at her up and down.
Sophie couldn't help but put her hand to her hair.
Was she so "princess"?
Everyone had commented on it today.
The original Sophie was not repeated so much.

ARE THE ADDITIONAL CHARISMA POINTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex clarified your doubts.
That explained a lot of things.
- Everyone told me that today - Sophie said patiently, - but no, my brother - Sophie overtook Adam - clung to me during the kidnapping and ended up here too.
- You look younger than our usual students - conceded the Dean of Evil.
- I am - I confirm Adam - I am 7 years old and here everyone looks 15.
- You can - I accept Lady lesso - but...
He cut himself suddenly as his face became paler if possible.
Something behind Sophie had paralyzed her.
Or someone.
- Hey Blonde - Aric called - tell me you don't try to get rid of the little one, it's the funniest thing in this school so far - he commented to Aric while shaking the water from his suitcase without looking straight ahead.
He looked up, ready to let out some joke, when the smile was completely erased from his face.
- Aric - said Lady leso almost voicelessly.
It seemed that he had seen the most terrifying and the most beautiful in his life at once.
- Mother - Aric replied sarcastically.
The tension seemed to be cut with a knife...
Until Adam, who had been looking at each other, broke it with a hammer.
- Is Mrs. Pretty Harpy your mother? - asked with an innocent smile, Aric.
Japeth and Sophie choked on their own saliva and laughed at the same time, it was funny to watch them cough through the air without being able to help laughing, Hort lost his color frightened by the reaction that Lady Lesso could have, and Aric only covered his face with one of his hands as if losing patience, but by the trembling of his shoulders he only tried to hide the laughter.
Lady Lesso looked at the youngest of her "freshman years" with a face of reproach, but a trace of amusement filtered into her eyes.
He cleared his throat and turned to Sophie again.
- Although I'm not particularly excited about the idea of being a preschool teacher...
- I'm already in primary school - Adam clarified.
- There is no specific age to enter this school - The dean ignored the interruption - besides being under 18, so the child stays - he concluded.
- I doubt we could go back, even if I allowed to - said Sophie - what worries me is my other brother is 5 and clung to my friend Agatha.
- Oh - said with a mocking tone - the reading princess.
- Most likely - I accept - although I doubt she will answer if they call her by that name.
The truth is that Sophie would pay a huge fortune to see Agatha's face when she was first called.
He shook his head and concentrated on what he had to do first.
- That castle - he said, pointing out the window where one of the towers of the pink castle could be seen - by the colors it must divide the boys, from the girls, which means that there is a boy running alone among a bunch of strangers, with whom I can talk to so that at least they let him stay with Agatha.
- He's just as clever as this one - Lady Lesso asked, looking at Adam.
- It's a portable hurricane - Sophie confirmed.
- Then I can assure you, that the doyenne of good has already learned of your presence that nothing godmother - he commented with weariness - so brats are his specialty.
- But... - Sophie tried to reply.
- You will see it soon enough, at the opening ceremony - he immediately settled the matter - now as the ...
- JAPETH??!!
Lady was interrupted once more.
-Mother? - said Japeth obviously surprised.
A beautiful woman in a blue butterfly dress, who could only be Evelyn Sanders, came to him in a big stride.
-What are you doing here? - asked distressed - you should be in Foxwood with your brother.
- Hello Mrs. Elle - greeted Aric cheerfully.
Evelyn lost what little color she had left.
It is obvious that Aric's reputation precedes him.
- Hi Aric - I answer quickly and returned to your son - How did you get here?
- One of those super chickens didn't kidnap the 3 - he said simply - threw Rhian into Castle Rosa and us here - he explained, pointing to Aric and himself.
- It can't be - she said indignantly - I'm going to kill him - she seemed to say to herself.
- what happened, happened Evelyn can no longer do anything - Lady Lesso spoke with condescension - she is also immortal - reminded her with a gesture of discarding.
Evelyn had a face of reluctant resignation when that cruel reality hit her.
- Rejoice - Lady Lesso commented with a cruel smile - it means that your talent for evil cannot be hidden even with the best means.
Evelyn Sander glared at the doyenne of evil, but she ignored her for complete.
- As I said - I return Lady Lesso - the allocation of bedrooms is inscribed on the boards between arches, the beds and closets have names, there will be their uniforms and schedules, Now go! - He dismissed them by scaring them away with his hands.
Sophie resigned herself and decided to leave for now.
I could always send a message through the system.
He hadn't done it to avoid trouble, such as them believing that Agatha and Jacob were crazy for moving their hands for no apparent reason, or for talking to nothing.
She and the boys had entered through one of the 4 arches in the room.
There were three left, where three winding black spiral staircases lined up side by side. One of them, with monsters carved in wood, had EVIL written along the railing; the second, decorated with engravings of spiders, read TRICK, and the third, adorned with snakes, read BAD HABIT.
Around the three stairs, Sophie saw that the walls were covered by 41 frames of different colors. In each frame was the portrait of a student, along with a storybook drawing of the character he had become after graduation.
Sophie recognized the evil queen with a blue beard in her gold-plated paintings, as well as other paintings of failed students with bronze plaques.
Poor wretched.
He approached the arch of the evil tower first.
From what I remembered in the original book, Evil Tower 66 was the bedroom of Sophie and the three witches, so it was a good place to start.
She ignored the fact that the 3 sparks were following her as if she were a duck mom.
- You think Jacob is okay - Adam asked worriedly - we've never been apart.
The boy looked sad.
- It will be - I reassure you - surely Agatha and her moody face are the scariest thing about that castle, no one will bother them.
The truth is probably the scariest thing is Beatrice, but since no one openly admits it yet, she saw no reason to expose it.
- And if they separate them - he asked, still nervously.
- They're Prince Adam - Sophie reminded him - all I worry about is being given a real sword.
- That sounds great! – exclaimed Adam.
- It's not because she hasn't yet learned the first and most important fencing lesson - Sophie proclaims seriously and dramatically.
They came to the arch and began to examine the list, looking for the number 66.
- And what is that important lesson - Japeth commented in an equally dramatic tone, unable to hide his laughter.
- How not to stab yourself - Sophie replied simply.
-…
The 4 guys stared at her for a second.
- Sounds like something you should learn before you pick up a sword - Aric conceded.
- Si - joined Japeth - sounds important.
- I pass it once, so I agree - Hort said.
-…
At the time, Hort was observed.
- Do you want to see the scar? -Offered.
- No - Japeth and Sophie chanted.
- YES - Adam and Aric chanted.
-…
After Sophie threatens to cut Hort's balls if he showed him his scar.
He had apparently been about to do it himself a few years ago, so the mark was on his crotch.
Sophie managed to find number 66 on the board and as expected Hester, Anadil, Dot and she were roommates, what she did not expect was that Aric, Japeth and Adam, were also on the list.
- It seems that it was not a mistake after all – I comment, looking at the list.
-What? - Adam asked when he saw the surprise on his sister's face.
- Your name is on the list, that is to say that they were waiting for you - he explained - it was not a mistake the principal really believes that you are ready for school.
- The Man must be senile - Hort said.
- I agree, but how did you get here, - Adam replied matter-of-factly.
Aric, Japeth and Sophie laughed as Hort glared at his new nemesis, while Adam gave him a smug look.
- It's the war, dwarf! - Hort chuckled.
- Go ahead, try to warm me up - Adam boasted, folding his arms as he put on a look of boredom.
