Sanctuary High

Lloyd left the cafe at closing time, putting the textbook in his bag along with several others. He heaved the bag onto his back, stumbling a bit as he did so. It probably weighed at least half as much as he did, so carrying it was no simple task. The strap of the bag secured itself between his wings, which was uncomfortable but difficult for him to change, so he just let it be.

(Oh, and Joan’s selkie coat [when she’s wearing it] transforms into wings in land and then a seal coat on water)

"Okay, you paper bastard. I cast a curse upon thy, and thine children, and their children." I mutter at my paper, after my lead broke for the millionth time and my wet hair was dripping on the page. "Damn you, and damn the horse you rode in on AP Composition."

With that, I roll over and stand, turning off my lamp to finish in the morning, and climb into bed.

*THE NEXT DAY *
Lloyd walked to school, as he always did, with his heavy bag on his back. He sometimes wished that he could just go to a normal school, but he knew that this was for the best. It protected people who were different, who would be shunned in ordinary society. Sanctuary High could teach them how to act in everyday settings.

Myra was at school before anyone else, she preffered early starts.

Joan walked self-consciously into the school yard, fluffy white wings trailing behind her. A breeze caught their undersides, but she quickly pressed them to her body. She hated flying. Tucking a strand of mahogany hair behind her ear, she held her head high, gold rose earrings glinting in the sunlight.

Lloyd was still wearing a hoodie that concealed his wings. He pulled out a textbook to read as he walked, glancing up frequently to make sure he was going the right direction.

I shrugged on an emerald green knit sweater and leggings, then put on a pair of uggs and tied my long hair up. I didn't bother with makeup- I liked my freckles and my angel side prevented most teenage fears like acne and dark circles, thank gods- and then I brushed my teeth and left the house without breakfast. I usually bought fruit of some sort and coffee at the farmer's market on the way to school.

Since Lloyd had arrived early, he went to the library to continue reading. It appeared to be vacant for the time being, and he found an empty table to set his books on while he breezed through the science textbook as he had several times before.

"Oh, hello!" Myra said to Lloyd, hanging from the ceiling.

Joan scaled the side of the school building, pulling herself up in a very low section of the room, swinging her legs idly. She fiddled with the golden key hanging from her neck, smiling somewhat sadly as she pulled a chocolate bar from her pocket, munching on it.

I paid for my banana and coffee and arrived on the massive campus just in time for the first bell to ring, as per usual. Jupiter didn't like mornings and made his first period a bye on purpose, so I got there punctually enough every morning that I didn't have to sit around awkwardly before the bells rang. The campus was loading with milling students, and I immediately walked towards the Angel wing, where I'd been placed.

(Where should Myra go?)

My first period was herbology, with Doctor Mazati, who looked a little bit like a rotting potato.

Lloyd looked around for the source of the voice, confused. After a second or two, he looked up and jumped a bit, startled to see someone on the ceiling. "Er, h-hello?"

(Where should Myra go?)

Well.. pick one side of her ancestry, angel or witch, then decide what sort of classes she should take

"My name is My-whoa!" She fell, and landed onto Lloyd.

(She is half vampire, half witch, little help here?)

Lloyd fell over, his wings slightly crushed beneath him. He winced and pushed himself to a sitting position, rubbing his shoulder. "What were you saying?"

ummmm… okay which side do you want to mess around with more, vampire or witch?

If you choose the witch wing, I reccomend herbology or magical defenses, something like that. If you choose vampires, then something like religious studies or cravings. Just be sure to mix in some human classses, like AP Composition for Eugene, or Maths.

(How about both?)

the school is trying to keep hybrids at bay, so they only let you choose one side. You have to pick.

Joan headed towards the Angel wing for her first class, hugging her binders to her chest.

Doctor Mazati glared at me as I entered and I smirked triumphantly, taking my seat at the back of the class and setting my rucksack down by my feet, taking out a notebook and a pen. I was an A student, the head of my graduating class actually, but all the teachers hated me for my noncompliance. I caused trouble 'not paying any attention', or hiding the teacher's mousepads in high up places, or unplugging keyboards. I was athletic as hell with my angel side, but I never joined any Sanctuary High sports teams.

(Witch then)

I started scribbling notes as the potato man gave his lecture, neat and even, as I liked them.
"Miss Glasgow?" He asked. I looked up, arching an eyebrow.
"Yes, Doctor Mazati?" I mocked.
"Could you please tell the class what I just said?"
An echo of snickers run through the class and I roll my eyes. "And I quote: The Aztecs used human sacrifice to appeal to their gods, but it's simple enough to treat most ailments and heal most land with simple plants and remedies." I smirk. "Unquote."
