Chapter 3 - Pool & Garden encounters

✧ෆ⁠♡

The hallway way amazing, it was glittery with hanging magenta vines.

"Ready to meet your class?" she asked, smugly.

"i guess?" Kinova replied honestly.

"First stop, the pool!"

⛲ : The Swimming Pool

The swimming pool was located in the first floor, having greenery all around it as if it's tucked away from the school. It looked like something out of a fairytale — glowing grey tiles, comfy chairs, water looking like crystal.

But strangely... it was empty.

"Sooo I'm guessing everyone here hates swimming?" Kinova asked, looking around.

A loud splash came from the far end.

???: "False alarm, guys! Gator's gone!"

A girl with a wild red wolf cut, popped up from the pool and grinned.

Ava sighed. "There she is."

Kinova blinked.

"That's Maya," Ava said. "She's strong, stubborn, and totally unserious about 90% of things. And I'm also pretty sure She told the every person there was an alligator in the pool."

Maya swam lazily to the edge. "First day's gotta be fun you know" she said with a wink. "You must be the newbie, what's your name cutie?" Looking at Kinova.

"Kinova.", amused.

Leaning against the pool railing, a tall girl with a sleek high ponytail crossed her arms and gave Kinova a warm smile.

"That's Brea," Ava said. "Strongest in our year. She'll 100% fight."

Kinova gulped.

Ava noticed "I meant she'll fight, for you."

Brea heard and chuckled and spoke, her tone smooth. "Welcome Kinova ."

Finally, seated on a chair with her long, open black hair perfectly framing her face.

She didn't even glance up when she spoke. "Mia here." while taking off her glasses, "love your boots by the way."

Kinova blinked again. "Uh… thanks?"

"That's Mia," Ava whispered. "Fashionable. A bit snarky But you'll get used to it."

Mia then suddenly yelled "MAYA! CAN YOU PLEASE STOP DRAGGING ME INTO THE WATER!."

Maya laughed cheekily.

Ava gestured to Kinova to come. "Alright, time for the second chaos group. Which we will defo see in the big field."

🌿: The Garden Boys

The garden behind the castle felt like it had grown out of a dream. Flowers bloomed in spirals.

Four boys were chilling on the grads

"The one talking to a frog? That's Ali."

Kinova glanced over. The boy had messy blond hair and was kneeling beside the pond, whispering to a glowing frog.

"See, the trick is to not tell them you're using them in a potion. They get offended." Ali said out of nowhere.

Sitting near him was a guy with spiky brown hair

"That's Innas," Ava said, lowering her voice. "Really smart, really weird, and has more rage than anything."

"I can hear you, girlie" Innas muttered, not looking up.

"That's fine." Ava said sweetly.

Leaning against a tree was a boy with neatly combed black hair, his outfit spotless and posture perfect. He looked like he belonged in a history painting.

"Miles," Ava said. "Very polite guy, respect him for that."

Miles approached and gave Kinova a bow while kissing her hand. "Welcome miss, heard your name's Kinova, It's a lovely name."

Kinova surprised.

Last was a boy sitting cross-legged on a floating rock — brown hair tied into a ponytail, eyes half-lidded, as if he was somewhere between deep thought and falling asleep.

"Ralph," Ava finished. "Hes just... Shy.. really shy."

Kinova waved at him slightly

Ralph made his poker face turn into a slight, smile, barely even noticable.

"Alright next stop, the basketball area!" Said Ava.
