Lower Willow's.

Hours later, they arrived at their location. Where the academy's official bus stood with countless numbers of people around it. Some were fellow students going with the bus, some were the students family members who came to drop them off. Her mother helped her with her bag from the trunk while handing her the bus pass which Ariana took and hugged her. They both acted emotional with each other even if they was no tears.Teresa pulled away from Ariana and said * go now. * Giving her a gentle nudge forward

* I would miss you.! * Araina said sadly. Despite being filled with excitement of going somewhere new, the feeling of not sharing that joy with a loved one was disheartening. Teresa wiped the lone tears off her eyes, suddenly becoming emotional.

* You would make new friends now and learn a lot of things...my rebel! *

* But I won't be seeing you! *

* We are inseparable remember! And one day you would return back to me...fully knowing what and who you truly are! *

* Oh- mom! * She threw herself at her mother all over again finding comfort in her arms.

" Ariana my child... you would be destined for greatness one day. But I hope you won't be precarious like a few people who try doing it all by themself. " Teresa thought out loud with a pat on her daughter's back.

Sniffing their nose, she urges her daughter to move ahead towards the bus. Araina tried to give her a smile before walking away from her. Seeing that she smiled back at her daughter who had started walking away. Teresa watched Araina and muttered * they grow fast! * Getting into her vehicle, she watched the crowd. All alone there Teresa continued watching her daughter get into the bus, she fastened her belt and slowly fell into a memory of her past. How long it has been since she had been to the academy, even if she was once given the privilege of being a professor back then; she didn't want her daughter to have any means traced to her in the slightest way possible. afterwards she drove off towards the town's library.

Lower Willow's was a settlement housing two major districts; lower willows and willows town. The settlement was very sophisticated with serene from how the sun and cold atmosphere of the climate here mixed up into giving off a nature's inspiring feeling. The bus usually arrives at the main city of Lower Willow's which has always been its destination. The spot used each year and students from all over the towns of Lower Willow gather here to check in before getting onboard. Walking towards the bus, Araina noted how warm and friendly the city of Lower Willow's was comparable to her home town. The city was very colorful and intriguing to her; since she hadn't been outside of Willow's town much. She headed for the huge bus which had the academy's logo on it. The bus registrar sat by the side of the bus. They were countless in numbers, each attending to a student who had already been in the line awaiting their pass to be checked. With there being a larger number of new students filed out in a line, still the registrar wasn't worried about the time taken to attend to all of them since they were staff from the admission unit in charge of attending to freshmen only. In order words this was their work each year in the academy. Severing only those who submitted their internship for the new academy year in all parts of Lower willows. With a fixed duration of time given to them in waiting for new students traveling by bus to the academy; though some few students do arrive straight at the academy to get checked! But more than naught the staff had seen a larger number of students all through their time of administering their work each year.

Arriving at the line which progresses slowly seconds by seconds, it soon gets to Ariana's turn. She walks towards the lady in charge of attending to her. Pulling out her pass and showing the registrar lady. The woman had a small figure with a round eyeglass sitting at the bridge of her nose with red frizzy curls hair. She sat on a chair with a box of letters to her side, looking closely at her face she had a mole at the side of her cheek. Holding a grumpy look of someone who rarely smiled from her facial expressions. * Alright young... how old are you? * The woman asked from seeing a teenage girl barely reaching eighteen!

* Why I'm sixteen ma'am! * Araina stated without any bit of childishness in her.

* When has the academy started admitting underage students? Giving me a handful of workloads in screening out the unwanted groups. * She nags inaudibly making her expression much hard and severe.

* Ummm... excuse me! *

* Alright young lady hand me over your pass! * She stretched out her hands in a bid to take the pass from Araina and kicking the box beside her. * And if your... pass ain't from the academy. It would go down this box sadly! *

Araina saw the box and noted how slightly filled the box was. Had people really tried impersonating the academy's pass?

* What's your name young lady? * The woman asked formally punching a few keys into a computer before her. It seems she thoroughly wants to confirm the girl's admission.

* I'm Ariana Farrington.* Handing her the pass in her hold.

* Well miss Farrington ... I'm Mrs. Juvenile and I would be attending to you! * she adjusted her glasses a bit upward and continued interrogating her.

* Any relations with the Vandeluer family in Orene? I think the entire name should be Vandeluer Farrington. * She enquired.

Ariana responded with a simple no as nicely as possible with a head shake.

Mrs Juvenile adjusted her glasses, moving close towards the computer screen where she observed both the names in her official pass and the one within the computer.

* Alright miss Farrington...let's see if your letter appears here! * She said reading the spell code in Ariana's pass.

Though the woman could have skipped the admission confirming, but for her own preference she had to go into the academy's office detail into ensuring that she was truly admitted by the head of admission. Following the normal system set in place to further distinguish between those who tried impersonating other students and deterring another set of students who furged an official pass. A letter from the academy would respond to the students written spell code from their pass. Soon a letter in purple envelope rose up with the academy seal on it and flew towards Ariana. Seeing this the woman nods her head in approval.

Working at the academy for years now, she had already known what this process involves.This system was set in place to select the cream of the crop.

* Welcome to the academy Miss... Farrington. * Mrs Juvenile said after seeing the letter which arrived from the box placed at the trunk of the bus. Ariana held the letter in her hand and walked away from there. She thought about what the lady asked, since she had also asked her mother regarding her distance relative. Despite the woman's nagging tone what registered in her mind was her question!
