17 Day One

Jay spotted me approaching and quickly left his friend to walk to me, "morning" he said smiling.

"Morning" he replied.

"You made a new friend?" I asked nodding my head pointing my chin at the odd blueish looking girl he just left.

"Yeah there was freshman gathering at the dorm last night, a small room party, come to think of it how comes you wasn't there?" Jay asked curiously.

"Yesterday got a bit hectic for me didn't you see the amber alert?" I replied answering him.

"Amber alert? no idea what you're talking about.... Anyways before I forget, so I came to you because I wanted to warn you about a rumor floating around, apparently you was seen leaving Paul's dorm room this morning, so you're basically the talk of the school...." he quietly informed me.

'This must be Calista causing trouble again, why has she got it out for me?'.... "Is it stupid Calista again making up stupid lies, there's nothing going on between us" I replied defensively.

"I'm not judging or verifying the story, I'm just letting you know what news is floating around" he said holding his hands up in innocence.

"Why does Calista have such a problem with me???" I questioned Jay.

"No idea, but dont worry, let's go I'll introduce you to my friend." Jay motioned to begin walking to the blueish girl, "Ohh and by the way don't freak out when you see her, I know you only have humans from where you come from." He turned his head quietly informing me.

"Hey Daisy this is Emelia...-" Jay said to his friends abruptly pausing realizing he doesn't know my full name.

"Patel" I quietly mumbled masking it with a cough.

"- Patel, Emilia this is Daisy.

"Nice to meet you Emilia! Was that scarlet you was walking with a moment ago?" Daisy questioned her facial expression filled with excitement.

"Yeah we are kinda friends...." I answered a little put off by her excitement and to my utter surprise she wasn't human, and she has light blue skin and small short goat looking horns on her head with long flowing slightly off white hair. She wore a matching pure white tiny crop top with a tight long skirt with two slits on each side, tightly hugging her slender body, she also seems have golden tattoos flowing from her shoulders down to her legs, her eyes glowing slightly golden barely managing to make out her iris and pupil. From the corner of my eye I saw a tail with a triangular tip closely resembling a demons tail.

"That must be so cool!!!!!" Daisy replied.

"It's nothing special they are friends like me and Jay I guess." I said trying to act normal in front of her.

"Yeah but she's an S ranked student, they are super famous practically untouchable and expert in multiple forms of close combat and weapons!, I would sell my soul to just even get a chance to speak and S rank." Daisy said say dreaming.

"Well if you're that desperate there's always Travis, he's always looking for fresh young girls." He joked.

"Travis? I'd rather hang myself then be one of his glorified one night flings." Daisy hissed at Jay.

"So what do I need to buy today?" I asked both of them.

"Basic supplies is a good bet, a wand, some books and clothes." Jay answered.

"How much do you think I'll need?....." I questioned.

"Hmmmm 10 maybe 20 gold should be more then enough" Jay answered.

"Would it be okay if I shadow you guys???... I'm a bit unsure what I need to buy." I asked both of them.

"Yeah sure let's stay together." Daisy asked with a hint uncertainty on her face.

"By the way... was it true that you stayed the night at Paul room???" Daisy hesitantly asked me but looked very eager for my answer.

"Yeah it was complicated there was an incident and I woke up there." I answered her.

"... No way!..... do you know him?! How was his room?! How was he?! Did you get to talk to him?!....." Daisy asked rapidly firing questions at me.

".... umm..... not really ....." I answered her a little overwhelmed by all her questions.

"Someone seems to have a crush on him" Jay joked.

"I don't love him..... I just admire him... Not only is he the Black dragon slayer, he's widely considered the strongest sorceress, his mastery in almost all forms of magic is second to none, also possessing the rare ability to open portals which only two other individuals showed the ability to use ..... and that's just the tip of the iceberg !!!....." Daisy explained.

"Yup I think that's love." Jay joked.

She shot an intense glare at him, which he paid no notice to. "So Emilia do you need some money??? If we buy the bare basics I should have enough for both of us....." he asked politely.

"Well actually scarlet gave me like these small tiny pouches of Gold and Platinum ", holding my hand out to show him the two small pouches.

"Ohhh nice so how much you got in total?" Jay asked politely.

"hmmm she said inside was I think 100 each....." I said trying to remember what she said.

"Wait..... wait... wait.... 100 platinum as well ???...." Daisy asked also showing interest.

"Yeah I think so" nodding in agreement.

They both gasped loudly taking a step back, the momentarily pulling the attention of other nearby students.

".... my family business barely even earns 2 or 3 Platinum a year!!! And you have 100?!" Daisy informed me in a lower voice still in shock.

"Wait your family earns that much??..." Jay said to Daisy," I feel so poor with my 20 gold budget...." Jay added.

"I mean if you guys need some money, I clearly have too much...." I said to both of them hoping not to offend them.

"Just what sort of friendship do you have with Scarlet? That she would give you that much money???" Jay asked.

"I dunno but she wasn't really bothered by how much she gave" I replied.... "Although I wouldn't mind a simpler way to hold all these." I said holding up the two pouches on one hand, and my lunch in the other.

"What's in the other hand?" the both asked.

"Ohh it's just some lunch for me because I'm vegetarian." I informed them.

"Vegetarian???..." Jay asked looking totally bewildered.

"Yeah I don't eat meat..." answering him.

"Ohhhhh..... Never heard of called that before" he replied nodding in understanding.

"How long before we depart?" I asked them.

"No idea, we should have been on our way by now" Daisy answered.

"Hmmm maybe we are being held up for some reason....." Jay answered.

In the corner of my eye I can still see people taking a peek at me and every so often a stealthy point. I also saw a noticeably larger group of people surrounding someone and other people eagerly trying to push their way in.

"What's going on over there I pointed with my chin. They both turned and notice something I didn't.

"Ohhhh..... That's Calista" Daisy said rolling her eyes, apparently she was seen heading to Paul's room last night and went to see him again this morning, I wish I could do that...." she said with a frown on her face.

Jay turned to look at Daisy in shock, "Calista is actually here???... A royal??. I gotta go see." He said tuning around and sprinted into the crowd with excitement.

A familiar red flash appeared nearby, causing everyone to turn and erupt in excitement, as expected Paul stepped out, and everyone began running towards him like a stampede, when suddenly they all froze in their positions. As he calmly scanned everyone as if looking for someone, "OMG it's actually Paul!" Daisy yelled at me in excitement seemingly free to move. The yell pulling his attention, his eyes met mine through the dense crowd of students and a smile crept up his face. Suddenly all frozen people slid to the side leaving him a path to walk through, like the parting of the red sea.

"Hey...…. Scarlet was acting a bit weird for some reason, so I had to give you this personally." He said to me when he arrived.

"Umm… okay…." I replied nervousness overtook my body.

"So here's a special bag, It has a near infinity carrying capacity, as long as it fits in the bag, all u need to do is just think about what you want to pull out and it will come out. For example" He explained to me. Taking the two bags off me and placing them into the large pouch he had. "So hold this bag" he said, holding it out to me.

Hesitantly taking the bag, to my surprises it weighed like a normal large pouch, the two heavy coin bags didn't seem to have affected its weight. I looked at him in shocked "how is this possible?" I questioned him.

"Well you're in a world of magic now, many things are possible that wasn't at home." He smiled….. "Anyways place your hand in it and think of your 100 gold coin bag." He explained.

I began thinking of the 100 Gold coin bag as instructed, I began feeling around and as if by magic my hands felt a small pouch, pulling it out and taking a peek inside was gold coins. I looked up in shock, with an expression of disbelief.

"You can put your lunch in there as well." He smiled also taking out a small notepad form the inside pocket of his trench coat handing it to me, "I know you're a little forgetful, so here's a notepad to note what you have put in it, I have also written down some extra things I put in it for you." He carried on smiling. "Hmmm seems a bit bothersome for you to hold, but you don't have a belt to fasten it to..." He said thinking." Your dress isn't very functional." He added.

"It's okay I can hold it, it's no problem." I replied taking the notepad form his hands, not wanting to be a burden to him.

"Hmmmm" he was still thinking about the dilemma.

"Honestly it will be okay, I can just hold it." I Insisted.

"Ohh….. I got it" he said in excitement, he began undoing his own belt and pulling it off, and stepped towards me wrapping the belt round my waist fastening it tightly. And tying the pouch on the side, I'm sure it doesn't suit your outfit but I don't know it's the best I can come up with."

My eyes couldn't help but wonder down his body reminiscing on the dream, every part of me wanted to hug him tight but I refused, he didn't show any interest in me anymore. "Ummm thank you" I thanked him looking down at the floor, I was too afraid to look into his eyes.

"You don't need to scared, it's going to be okay you'll be very safe, just don't stray too far from a prefect… okay?" He said as he finished fastening the belt and stepped back.I nodded in understanding still refraining to look into his eyes 'if only he knew what is really troubling me'. Until a red flash appeared as he turned to walk in and the portal and it closing behind him. Every student that was frozen suddenly regained their ability to move again.

"I thought you said you didn't know him." Daisy said rushing and standing in front of me.

"I really don't….. Anymore…." I said frowning, she stop pursuing the issue seeing my reaction.

I could hear and see everyone suddenly look and talk about me and Paul spreading rumors and speculations. "OMG!!!! What did Paul want with you?" Jay asked jogging over to me.

"What happened to you and Calista, huh?" I replied to him.

"Forget her! What did Paul come here for?!" Jay asked again.

"Nothing really just wanted to give me this pouch." I said pointing at the pouch.

"Ohhh… was that it?" Jay said unimpressed.

"It's a Bag of holding" Daisy added.

"WHAT?! NO WAY" Jay shouted and dove at the bag untying it and lifting it up to take a better look. "I have never seen or held one of these before! ASTONISHING!" Jay said still fixated on the bag.

I snatched the bag form his hands slapping the back of his head as well and tied it back on my belt again. "Hands off I thought you was on team Calista." I joked to him.

"Team Calista?!! You know I'm always on Team Emilia! I was........ just........ gathering information, apparently she and Paul are both dating" He informed us.

"NO WAY!!! He can't! She's lying!" Daisy yelled at him.

"Don't worry Daisy I already asked Scarlet this morning she said he's only tutoring her." I said reassuring her.

"WHAT?! SHE GETS PERSONAL TIME WITH HIM?! And HE'S GONNA TEACH HER PERSONALLY?!!!! Shes so fing lucky..." She said yelling at me.

"Children please gather around we will be heading off any moment now, please do not stray too far from us or get lost." The headmistress boomed, arriving sometime during or after the commotion. Beside her five male students on one side and five female on the other, each wearing the same special looking uniform with a side arm on them. They were wielding different weapons ranging from bows, swords, daggers, wand, staves and one in particular was a girl totally unarmed not even a sidearm.

"We will be arriving at the town center, and make our way to the market district, there will be a lot of people so make sure you don't stray too far." The headmistress carried on informing us.

A large blue portal appeared behind he headmistress and the Prefect students, "follow me children" the headmistress yelled walking into the portal, as all the students slowly made their way across the portal.

I quickly pulled jay beside me letting Daisy walk ahead a little. "Ummm… What is she?" I questioned him but not wanting to ask her directly no wanting to be rude or offensive.

"Ohhh she's a Tiefling but oddly she's abit different because they generally have red skin." Jay answered and pulling my wrist to catch up with Daisy.
