I have always had this dream, where my Prince arrives in a white horse, taking me away with him, to this amazing palace that is perfect in every way. Deep maroon walls, with silk curtains covering the beautifully designed window panes. On top of that, that entire place is carpeted with plush carpets; Titanic-like stairs separating the grandiose bottom half from the top-half. Perfection like this always needs something shiny to compliment it so, of course there was a gigantic chandelier hanging from the very high ceilings. Even though, my Prince wasn't here, nor was his white horse, but I was without a doubt inside that palace I have always dreamt of.



I was awe-struck, staring at the manor in front of me. Now, it makes sense why this place is called a seraglio, because it is indeed very rich, and luxurious, it's beautiful. A throat clearing took me out of my daze. I turned around to find a very mean-looking, probably middle-aged lady, looking at me distastefully. I walked up to her because I felt her intense gaze was ordering me to stand by her. She looked me up and down, sizing me up, and my confidence faltered under her judging look. "Welcome, Angela, we have been expecting you, follow me, I will show you to your dorm room." I started following behind her when she suddenly stop, almost making me run into her back. She walked behind me, asking me to take off my cloak, I gladly did what she asked—the lady is intimidating. All of a sudden she started chuckling, making my mouth agape at her sudden change in attitude. "Dear, I should've known why you showed up so early, okay so close your eyes." I glanced at her, confuse, but she gave me an encouraging smile so I did what she asked. "Now, think about your human form, without any wings, or powers." I imagined myself standing in front of a mirror, without wings, perfectly human.



A moment later, I felt as if my back is lighter. I touched the spot under my shirt and felt my smooth and soft skin—featherless. I jumped in joy and hugged the lady in front of me. "Thank you Mrs...." "Call me Principal Clarkson." I jumped back, staring at her in shock, holy crap I just tackled my Principal! I am such an idiot. "Well now follow me dear I'll show you your dorm room." She started walking very fast for an elder lady, forcing me to power-walk behind her.



When we finally reached upstairs after walking a million set of stairs, I saw a never-ending hallway ahead of me. Filling both side of the hallway were rows and rows of doors which I am assuming are other girls' dorm rooms. There must be a lot of angels living here because there were a lot of dorms in this hallway and this place is humongous, so, if there are a few more hallways like this one, that means about...well I suck at math so I don't know how many angels live here I just know that the number is huge.



We stopped in front of a wooden door, with a brass door knob. Principal Clarkson ushered me in before excusing herself. The room I am standing in had no beds—maybe angels are not supposed to sleep? A large flat-screen TV stood leaning against the far wall, with plush couches surrounding the contraption. I scanned the room, spotting a computer in the right hand corner of the room. A girly giggle came from the other side of the room, startling me. I followed the sound of the voice, finding myself inside a bedroom. Good, that means angels do sleep here.



The scene in front of me was almost comical. 4 girls were sprawled across a bed with feathers covering their clothes and mouth. I guess they were involved in an epic pillow fight because four pillows were tossed on the floor, and they were very flat. I cleared my throat to get their attention and it worked, because four pair of eyes was facing me. I smiled, "Hey I am you guys' new roommate my name is Angela, but you can call me Angel if you want." I expected them to either introduce themselves like kind young day, or just ignore me like rude bitches, but they did something I usually don't expect strangers to do. All of them ran towards me in a very surprisingly fast speed and tackled me in a group hug. I wasn't ready for impact, which caused me to topple over and land on the ground, dragging all four of them along with me.
