I was excited. It was my first day of school, here at the International Institute for the Gifted. It's a safe place for people like me, people with powers. Located on the outskirts of Kyoto, Japan, it provides a home where young people with powers can learn to control them and not cause harm to anyone in the human world. I looked up at the building and sprinted towards the doors, my bags had already been delivered, I pushed them open and walked into what appeared to be just a normal foyer. There was a desk and some chairs, that was it. I walked up to the desk to speak to whoever was behind it but when I approached it, there was no one there. I went to sit in one of the chairs when I heard footsteps behind me. I spun around and stood there was a young woman with bright pink hair cut short and bright purple eyes. She was wearing a short pink dress and had a necklace with a pair of wings on it as a charm. She looked at me with a strange look before speaking, "So you must be the new student? Charlotte?"
"Um yes, and it's Lottie actually, I don't like being called Charlotte." She cocks her head to one side before nodding. "Ok then, Lottie, this way to your dorm room, you will be sharing with Leah this year, she's a very nice person and will help you get used to the school. You will find that your bags..." I zone out as she waffles and just follow her up a grand staircase that appeared out of nowhere.

"Ok then, that's about it, my name is Tia if you need any help I will be behind that desk you saw at the entrance and good luck!" With that she sprouts a pair of wings and flies off, of course, she's a fairy, that's what the wings represented. I place my hand on the handle when the door opens suddenly. Standing in the doorway is a beautiful girl with long dark hair that falls in waves down her back. Her blue eyes sparkle and when she smiles her teeth are so white, they are almost blinding. "You must be Lottie then! I'm Leah, your new roommate welcome to the Institute! I hope you like it here, come in, all your stuff is here already so all that's left is for you to unpack." I step in and take in my surroundings, it's a spacious room with two beds, two desks, two wardrobes and two sets of drawers. There are also shelves and at the massive window is a seat. Her half of the room is already covered in pictures of family, friends etc. and all her belongings are in place. I walk over to my bed and start to unpack. This was going to be great, or so I thought
