CHAPTER THREE: THE DAY WE MET

"ohhhh first day please be good"

I woke up to a sound of an alarm, I stretched out my hand to stop the alarm with my heart pounding with excitement. Today was the day! The first day! I practically leaped out of my bed, eager to start my first day at a new school. I stood up as I danced my way into the bathroom . I put on my uniform,they were damn looking good on me .A new school in a new town – it was all so thrilling!

"So cute... I'm definitely going to ace up first day at school" I said I as I admired myself in the mirror

"Pretty little demon Elysia is going to be the talk of town" I added as I smiled and made my way downstairs, Uncle Adrian was already in the kitchen, sipping his morning coffee. He looked up and smiled as I entered.

"Good morning, Elysia," he greeted warmly. "Excited for your first day?"

I nodded enthusiastically, unable to hide my excitement. "Definitely, Uncle Adrian! I can't wait to see what this new school is like."

" Is it like the demon world .. where we were mainly thought magic and the tradition of the demon" I asked

" No... There's more to it" he said as he sip his coffee

" There's more? " I asked desperately looking for answers from him

He set down his coffee cup and looked at me seriously. "Elysia, remember what we talked about. You're a demon in a human world. You must do anything to avoid getting angry. We don't want anyone suspecting that you're not fully human."

I gulped, remembering his words from our previous conversation. "I remember, Uncle Adrian. I'll be careful."

He smiled, his eyes filled with pride. "That's my girl. Now, finish your breakfast. I'll drop you off at school."

" Thank you uncle" I smiled

" This isn't going to be a everyday routine once you get familiar with the surroundings you will start going to school alone" he said and I rolled my eyes playfully

" At least .... Let me make friends " I said and we both laughed

As we drove to the school, I couldn't help but marvel at the sights around me. The town was bustling with activity, and I could see why Uncle Adrian had chosen to live here. It was beautiful, with tree-lined streets and friendly faces everywhere. The human must be always happy, I have never met a sad human, they are always smiling.

"Don't humans have troubles" I asked as I search my uncle's eyes for answers

"Every single soul has troubles but it depends on you treat yourself and how to move on with it" he said and I looked at him evident of confusion on my face "well I mean ... Just like me nobody knows I have lost my wife because it's not written on my head but I still manage to smile " he said and I could see a hint of sadness on his face but he quickly masked it with a smile

"So are you saying, everyone has a problem "

"Yes... Every single soul" he replied as he continued driving

Finally, we arrived at the school, and I was speechless. It was magnificent – a grand building with towering spires and ivy-covered walls. It looked like something straight out of a fairy tale.The school was like something out of a futuristic movie, all sleek and shiny with big windows that sparkled in the sun. It stood out with its cool design and maybe some neat gardens or hangout spots around it. You could tell it was a special place just by looking at it, not just another boring school. Even from far away, it was super impressive and made me curious about what it was like inside.

"This is it, Elysia," Uncle Adrian said, pulling into the parking lot. "This school is one of the best in town. Only the most privileged students get to attend here."

I looked around, noticing the students milling about. They all looked so confident and sophisticated, and I felt a twinge of nervousness. Could I fit in here?. I have heard so much about this school.At Elite International High School for Kings and Queens, it feels like I'm in a real-life Castle! The school looks like a grand palace, and everyone wears these fancy designer uniforms that make us feel like royalty. The rich kids here have all the latest gadgets and coolest stuff. But hey, I'm one of the average kids, and it's pretty awesome too! Some of them got in on scholarships or just being super lucky. I wish we get along great, and it's cool how I'm already seeing different vibes in the school. I'm working hard and I guess I would be loving every minute of it!

Uncle Adrian must have sensed my anxiety because he squeezed my hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, Elysia. You'll do great. Just be yourself."

" Bye uncle" I said Taking a deep breath and stepped out of the car and headed towards my classroom. As soon as I entered, I felt all eyes on me. Whispers and side conversations erupted around the room, and I could hear snippets of comments.

"Who's that new girl?"

"She's stunning!"

" I know right... She looks like a goddess "

I blushed, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and excitement. I had never been the center of attention like this before.

I glanced at the reflection in the classroom window, trying to see myself through their eyes. My long, wavy hair cascaded down my back like a waterfall of ebony silk. My eyes were a unique shade of violet, shimmering with a mysterious allure. My skin was flawless, with a subtle glow that seemed to captivate everyone around me.

But it wasn't just my physical appearance that caught their attention. It was something more, something undefinable – a certain grace, a confidence that seemed to radiate from within.

The teacher walked in, and the room fell silent. I took my seat, still feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the attention

"Can I have your attention everyone" Ms. Penelope Jenner said and stare were fixed on her.

Just when I thought I was getting the hang of things, the unexpected happened. During English class, the teacher, Ms. Jenner suddenly called my name.

"Hey Queen Elysia, would you mind coming up to the front and introducing yourself to the class?" she asked, her eyes twinkling behind her glasses.

My heart skipped a beat as I stood up, feeling a rush of nerves. "Um, sure," I stammered, trying to sound confident.

Walking to the front of the class, I took a deep breath and began, "Hi everyone, I'm Grimstone Elysia. I just moved here with my Uncle Adrian. I love reading fantasy novels and exploring new places. I'm really excited to be here!"

" so kings and queens... What do we say to her" she screamed

" We welcome elysia to elite international school for kings and queens"they echoed

As I returned to my seat, I could feel the curious eyes of my classmates on me. Some smiled, while others whispered amongst themselves. I hoped I had made a good impression.

After my mini introduction, Mrs. Thompson continued with her lesson. She taught us about Shakespeare and his famous plays. I tried my best to pay attention, but my mind kept wandering back to the new friends I need to make

Finally, the bell rang, signaling the end of the class. As the students gathered their belongings and left the room, Ms. Jenner approached me.

"Elysia, could you stay behind for a moment? I'd like to give you a quick orientation of the school and show you around," she said kindly.

"Of course, ma'am," I replied, feeling grateful for her guidance.

Once the classroom was empty, Mrs. Thompson began explaining the layout of the school, pointing out the library, cafeteria, and gym. I listened attentively, eager to learn my way around.

"As a new student, you'll also be assigned a mentor to help you adjust to our school," she added, smiling reassuringly.

" So... See you around tomorrow " she said to me as she turned to leave and I smiled as I gathered my books and stood up to leave. But before I could take a step, I collided with a figure in the doorway, sending my books scattering across the floor.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed, looking up to see who I had bumped into.

"No I am sorry" he said as I looked up to see the figure my jaw dropped. It looked like I have seen an angel in person .Standing before me was a tall boy with raven-black hair and piercing blue eyes. He had a smirk on his face as he bent down to help me pick up my books.

"No harm done," he replied, his voice smooth and confident. "I'm Damien, by the way. And you must be the new girl everyone's talking about."

I blushed, feeling a mix of embarrassment and curiosity. "I'm Elysia. Nice to meet you, Damien."

He handed me my last book and gave me a playful wink. "Well, Elysia, I guess this means we're officially acquainted. See you around!" I couldn't help myself but smile , his charming eyes, his cute voice, his eyes were everything. He has a perfect figure that compliments his body .

"Bye" I said after he has gone farway from me "

" Ohhhh.... He's gone"I said smiling foolishly
