Witchling Academy Semester Eight - Avery Song Page 0,120
me like we're on the same level," I declared with a low voice before my eyes lifted to meet the man who was observing me with a blank expression. "As a professor, you should teach your students to be respectful when on other's territory. Would be a shame if they instigated a fight and got hurt."
I'm sure he wanted to say something back to me, but he nodded. "Our apologies. Delphina didn't recognize you."
"You don't need to recognize someone to show respect."
The voice came from the door, and we turned to see a girl and a taller woman at the door. I almost did a double-take, because the girl had fabulous bright red hair like me and was my exact same height. She reminded me of Alice with the way her face carried a cold, predatory expression, and yet the softness of her pale white skin and the shocking brightness of her red lips gave her a snow-white glam that accented her immense beauty.
She wore a midnight blue uniform with gold accents and stars as the print while her blazer emphasized the golden stars and constellations.
Her hair was left down in bountiful curls and I noticed the bunny on her shoulder, a tiny bow tie of red along his black furry body. He even had red eyes, which were both scary and adorable.
She walked into the room until she stood specifically next to the girl, her attention completely on this girl who seemed surprised by the new appearance.
"And who the hell are you?"
"Alicia Midnight," she replied and pointed to her bunny. "And this is Roxas."
"I don't care about your bun-" she began and then shrieked as the very bunny in question began nibbling on her hair like it was the most delicious lettuce in all the land. "Stop chewing on my hair!"
She tugged at it, but he chomped on it so she couldn't pull it out. I watched in pure amazement as she literally tugged her hair as though she'd entered a tug of war, and the adorable black bunny was winning.
"MewMew!" Elsa poofed into existence and fell onto the girl's head, which led to everyone looking at her before she shook her body that went from pink to orange. She took a sniff of the girl's hair and wiggled her nose.
"Uh oh," Alicia declared, and I wasn't sure why she said it until Elsa sneezed.
And blew a wave of fire into the girl's hair.
"AH!" The shrill scream made the bunny jump and release the girl's hair, which caused her to fall right back like her invisible robe had been snapped in two. Elsa hopped off the girl's head before she'd even fallen to the floor and landed on Alica's head. "MewMew!"
She stood there with pride like she'd done a good deed for the nation, while the girl was fighting to put her hair out. Alicia finally acknowledged me with a gaze before her black orbs widened as colors that were radiant like a flame began to dance in her irises.
"Hold on. Alice?" she questioned and pouted. "You don't go to this school."
"You know Alice?" I inquired. "Alice Blaze?"
"Um, ya," she replied. "Which is you, right? Cause if it's not, that's gonna be a bit scary, cause you guys are pretty identical, though her skin is a tad darker than yours, and she has about three more centimeters of hips," she acknowledged.
"Um..." I looked at my hips as if trying to figure out how she did that.
"Sorry, I'm a little weird and like to acknowledge silly stuff," she concluded. "So you're definitely not Alice or you would have known that."
"I'm Brianne Harlow," I re-introduced. "And Alice is actually uh...well, we're related."
"Seriously?" she gasped. "That means there's almost a ninety-nine percent chance that we'll get along." Her whole expression blossomed in excitement as she reached out to shake my hand. "So nice to meet you!"
"Likewise," I replied as I shook her hand. The two of us had completely forgotten about the girl who was still screaming. The shrill sound caught our attention as we realized the flame wasn't out.
"Huh?" we said in unison before I looked to Professor Phoenix while Alicia looked over to her professor. "Why isn't the fire out?"
No one seemed to speak due to our dual question, which freaked me out for a few seconds. Why are we synced?
"Your familiar used a special flame. No one else can put it out," the woman at the door announced.
Professor Phoenix bobbed her head. "Brianne. You have to put it out."
