☆SCARLETT THE DAUGHTER OF LIGHTNING☆

Chapter VII My Not So Dead Beat Up Dad

Dam this school work is it just me or is this school getting harder and harder everyday. I haven't seen Agatha in days since we dont have any classes together it feels longer. Why do I even bother I go to the library to attempt my work and someone else ends up doing it for me ugh.

I looked down outside at gorgeous scenery of the flowers plants and the princes? I didn't know they were training today who am I kidding they train everyday. I saw Tedros practicing archery watching as he hit the centre every time. That's when Sophie came up behind him and they started talking. Sophie whats she doing here, before I could react at the corner of my eye was...

"AGATHA!?" I practically yelled causing heads to turn. I covered my mouth with my hand in second hand embarrassment. Until I took my hand down and whispered sorry.

As I was trying to figure out what they were saying I felt some creep behind me. Without a second thought I instantly turned around and ended up scaring the person behind me. "Oh Daphne you almost gave me a fright" I said on edge but she looked more frightened then me

"Gods sake Hildy I gave you a fright you turned around faster than lightning. How'd you know I was behind you"

"I don't know oh while your here do you mind helping me with this assignment" I asked in attempt to cover the fact I was basically stalking. "Uh sure Dovey sent me to help you anyway. Wait were you staring at Tedros down there who seems to be flirting with Beatrix" Daphne pointed out.

Now that made my heart drop I quickly moved to the window when Daphen said "HA made you look you really do like him" She joked laughing at me. "But in all seriousness why is he talking to a never whats her name? Sophie the supposedly 'good one' they always show their true nature in the end" she rolled her eyes.

He's so close to her that it looked like they were kissing but he was teaching her how to shoot an arrow. Daphne is right about one thing whether your an ever or a never you'll always show your true colours in the end no matter how hard you try not to.

Todays the last class until we find out who's being chosen for the trial by tale. For once class is going to be interesting 'cause we're finally getting our finger glows at last I thought we were never going to get them.

"Class as most of you already know you will be getting your finger glows remember that these act as a training wheel and I will relock them when you graduate or once you've proven yourself. Line up"

The evers and nevers lined up in two lines not very long ones of course cause there's 10 of us. Hester bunked in first Adella unlocked her finger glow and it was a deep blood red it actually made sense she gives off that colour.

If I don't get red that'll be a bit embarrassing especially since my mum got red. But hers was more of a ruby red. Next was Lucy my good friend as expected her glow was a honey yellow, bright just as her. Right after me was Gideon he had a proud evil smirk as if he knew what colour he was going to get I'm assuming he wants green but what made me laugh was his reaction.

"WHAT BLACK BUT MY MOTHER-" Gideon began but was disrupted "Gideon I am not in the mood for your moaning and yelling I've a headache so shush" Adella finished with a sigh you can tell she's had a long day I don't know what though.

Everyone laughed at his short temper tantrum they had every right hes annoyingly funny. At last it was my turn, my heart in my head the moment felt like forever I closed my eyes tight untill Adella called my name. Phew my finger glowed a bright scarlett red that made me smile.

Lunch finally came around I still had some relief from yesterdays forest group class. Instead of eating outside we were all brought inside the theatre of tales for the list of who was being chosen to compete for the trial by tale. All the evers on one side of the hall gossiping and princesses eating as little and elegantly as they could princes stuffing there mouths doing the same, while all the nevers on the other gagging and throwing scraps of food at the evers.
