I would consider myself a good actor. I am not friends with Ruby, I am just forced to friends with Ruby. My real is Gil and Ares. They hate each other. I also find Dawn quite nice.

I woke up in the morning ready for school and soon raced over, only second to arrive. This is one of the reasons I hate Ruby. Teacher's pet. Next was Enoki to arrive. Once the rest of the students piled in I walked over to Gil to discuss what we saw last night but Gem was the first to get attention. 

"Hello class," she said, "Today we'll be learning about plants and I've welcomed a special guest to teach you. Please welcome Queen Katherine of House Blossom."

"Mom!" Cherry cried.

"Hello. Many of you have met me before, actually I think you've all met. But please call me Katherine. So. Today I'll be teaching how to grow a flower. Please pick your seed." Katherine said. I glanced at the flower seeds and found a few that I knew about. I decided on red tulip. Ruby chose the orchid while Gil took the rose. Ares copied me and took a white tulip.

Once everyone had a seed, Katherine handed us a pot and some soil. She showed us how to put the soil in and sow our plants and gave us each a watering can with different patterns. Mine had a single star on its black surface. Ares's had a wolf head on red. He traded it with Enoki for a plain green can. We each gave ours some water and Katherine told us to wait for it to grow.

But a small fact about me was that I have very little to no patience. "With a small dose of power, you will grow into a flower." I muttered with my hand over the pot. Ruby saw me do it and was about to say something but then the stem rose up into the air and a bud formed. We watched as it rose without stopping. The bud opened and it punched a hole in the roof. It was a beautiful tulip.

"Wilder!" Gem yelled.

"Oopsie." I responded, unable to comprehend what trouble I was in. "I take it home." How? I didn't know. Then I realized what she was truly taking about. I ruined her roof. Oopsie.

"I'll get Sausage," Katherine said. She left quickly through the hole in the roof while Ruby grabbed a broom. Another reason I hated her. She was too helpful.

"Wilder. You clean. Everyone else. Stop cleaning." Ruby already had pile made and Ares was getting a dust pan. Dawn was locating a trash can. Cherry was slowly shrinking the tulip. Everyone else was watching in silence.

Meza laughed. "Sorry. I had to break the silence." Everyone started talking except Ares, Gil and I. Gil left to water his rose and talk with Coral.

"Here, I'll help you," Ares grabbing the dust can. I swept Ruby's pile into the pan then formed another while Ares threw the dirt away. We repeated the process over again until all the roof droppings were cleaned up.

"Thanks," I said after it was all done. We resumed our plantings. Then dad arrived.

"Wilder!" I turned to face him, embarrassed immediately. "Wilder! I want to... congratulate you on annoying Gem while I can't!"

"Sausage!"

"Gem. Annoying you is what I live for." Gem sighed and I felt happy because my dad was cool. I saw Meza look at my dad like he was her idol. It made sense. In that moment I noticed that Enoki and Tiger were gone.

"Uhhh, Gem?" I said.

"Yes, Sausage?!"

"Where's Enoki and Tiger?" Gem looked absolutely insane. I loved that look. She looked around the room, searching for them, presumably. When she didn't see them she ran outside and screamed. I heard the scream even muffled threw the walls. 

Coral pointed to a window low to the ground and open. I smelled mushroom coming from it. When I walked closer Cherry had the same idea to follow me. We inspected the window sill and I found one of Tiger's dirty blonde hairs and a pinch of soil. I looked beyond and saw some tracks of soil footprints and trampled grass right next to it.

"Anyone else want to come with me?" Ares, Gil, Ruby, Meza, and Dawn followed me. Cherry and Coral were the only ones to stay behind. Gil dragged Coral over to the window. Apparently she was coming with. Cherry, seeing she was the only one, decided to join us. Smart move. Who knows what Gem would do when she found out all of her students were gone.

"You can do it son. I trust you." Dad said. If my dad was okay with it the we should be good to go. I took the lead and hopped out the window and wondered, what was I getting myself into?
