"Ugh I'm sick of doing the same thing every day. Even the healers probably have more excitement than me." I think in my head. Disturbing me from my discouraging thoughts, I hear my mum and dad speaking down below. My mind fills up with thoughts again, but this time they're hopeful. "What if mum and dad are talking about taking me out of all these useless venom and tree-gliding classes and putting me into Jade Academy, where I will ACTUALLY learn something valuable. WHAT IF THEY'RE TALKING TO QUEEN GLORY RIGHT NOW ABOUT ENROLLING ME INTO JADE ACADEMY!!!" I look down from my hammock and see that's not the case. What they're really doing is talking to Bromeliad, probably about how badly my venom practice is going. "Sigh, I have to stop keeping my hopes up. Whatever I think will happen, never happens. It's the truth, I have to believe it." I tell myself. Suddenly my mum calls from below and she asks me to come down. Of course I immediately thought Bromeliad only came to yell at me and all this time that my parents were talking bored her. Anyways, I came down, my eyes scrunched up, ready for whatever insulting comment she yelled at me, but to only hear her saying "Did you hurt your eyes, Okapi?" My scales at once turned bright pink and I quickly un-scrunched my eyes. At the same time my mum started talking. Her tone of voice stood out to me. It wasn’t the ‘ok sweetie?!’ voice she usually talks to me in, it was more of an excited voice. She said “Bromeliad has just been telling us how well you’ve been doing in venom practice.” My mind was going “Um I think you’ve confused me with someone much more adventurous than me” But of course I didn’t say that out loud. Bromeliad looked at me with a smile. It was new to me since Bromeliad hardly ever smiles. “Yes, that's true.” she said sweetly, “You are doing so well that I think you are ready for something more challenging.” “Something more challenging?!” my parents exclaimed. “Yes, something more challenging, perhaps Jade Academy?” Jade Academy! I couldn’t believe it. Maybe my dreams were becoming true after all!
