|| <---- This is when someone is thinking (Cecelias thoughts) Chapter 1: PoV: Cecelia (Cecelia has brown hair with blond-ish highlights on the tips of her medium-length hair, along with a fringe almost covering her eyes. She usually wears flower crowns whenever she can, which includes Daisies and Perennial flowers. Her mother usually doesn't approve of her fashion of oversized-sweaters.) ‘’Cecelia! Someone nud-’’ She gasped, her head popping out of her crossed arms on her desk. ‘’Y-yes, Mrs Calandra. I’m awake.’’ She replied with a yawn. ‘’Please don't do it again, this is your 2nd time doing so.’’ Mrs Callandra turned back to the chalkboard, writing something Cecelia should have been a long time ago. ‘’Pst,’’ a masculine voice from behind Cece whispered. She turned around, a younger-looking boy with a grin on his face. ‘’Aren't you like, in the 2nd succession?’’ She looked at the boy, confused, not knowing who he was (since she was new). ‘’Why, yes.’’ Cecelia hesitated, glancing back at her teacher, who was still writing some sort of equation. ‘’Oh, so that means you're better than me? Since I’m in the 4th.’’ He smiled, his dull cyan hair covering his eyes, as they shadowed his cream colored skin. ‘’Well, no but-’’ ‘’Cecelia! Please, stop talking.’’ Mrs Calandra raised her voice, turning away from the board. Cece quickly turned around toward the board, to find that everyone was staring at her. ‘’Arrden, you too.’’ The boy frowned as he leaned back in his chair. ‘’OK, you all may be in middle school, but that does not mean you have an excuse to act like this,’’ Mrs Calandra started, ‘’now, does anyone know about the Vliphi Championships this year?’’ The class stayed silent, as a breeze from the open window in the stone classroom lifted Mrs Callandra’s ruler onto her hand. ‘’No? Very well then. . .’’ ‘’Our land, Vliphi, will be hosting the Championships this year, but unlike other Lands, we will let you kids try to participate. All you have to do is try to complete every single teacher's personal test by Flower Season, understood?’’ A few students nodded, while others stayed silent to listen. ‘’Now, for those who have been living under a rock their whole lives, these are the rules: There will be a variety of glowing globes outside the entrance, of which you must choose one. . .Unknown of what you abilities shall get.’’ Calandra pulled out a piece of paper, one Cecelia was unable to read from the third row. ‘’After you choose your globe, the one in charge of it shall tell you what to say when you get to the stadium, of which will give you the abilities within the globe.’’ Why, this was quite exciting. Cecelia has always wanted to go to the Championships, although most of them were hosted by far Lands, of which her family was unable to go. || Did father say that he participated in the Championships? Could have sworn he had the abilities to grow any kind of animal horn he wished, which helped him become king later on. || ‘’Hey, Solana! Do you think we’ll be able to participate? If so. . .you wanna study together?’’ Cecelia turned to her right side, as she whispered to her friend. Solana was a short light-grey-skinned girl, who had long layers of scarlet hair, which looked good on the black uniform. Cecelia had met her half a week ago when she joined the school, escaping from her old and horrid school. ‘’Sure! Although we must know what we're working on first.’’ Her dark blue eyes shimmering in the sunlight from the window. ‘’Your test will begin on next Effry (Friday).’’ Mrs Callandra added, a smile crept onto her black skinned face. ‘’I recommend to study defence at the time, though.’’ She groomed her wavy lob hair, as she went back to teaching physics, as usual. -----------------------------------------
