The Academy looks absolutely haunting.

As my Uncle and me pull up to the gargantuan school, I realize just how daunting it actually looks.

"This is Alkine, your new home away from home." He looks at me happily. He tries his best to put up a facade just for me but I can see right through  his anxiety.

"Yea." Unbuckling my seatbelt, I slowly make my way out of the car. Trying my best to put off the inevitable. Unfortunately that's a loss cause when I see a bubbly blonde sauntering up to me.

She's holding a clipboard in her hand with an enormous smile planted across her face.

"Hello my names Cynthia and I'll be your school adviser." Holding out her hand to me that's free of the clipboard, I shake it gingerly.

"Hello Mr. Demonas how are you today." She grants my Uncle with a beaming smile.

"Just fine Cynthia," he turns to me, placing his hand on my shoulders, "If you need me I'll be in my office for a little while." With his eyebrows raised, he nods his head just once, walking off to the Academy doors. Leaving me alone with the bubbly Cynthia.

She turns to me, with her eyes piercing straight through me. Her beaming smiles drops off her face immediately.

"Here's the map of the school," she shoves the crumpled map into my hand, "The Headmasters office is the fifth door on the right just as you enter the building. See you later." She walks off dramatically, leaving me baffled and stunned. How quickly her attitude changed in a mere few seconds doesn't surprise me in the least. I've dealt with all kinds of people at my old school. She's just one of many cliches.
