Introduction
K-12 Boarding Academy

Dear future student,
Upon receiving this letter, you are now about to embark on a wondrous journey in your life. In this moment that you are reading this, you are to be going to the mystical boarding school, Belle Rivière Academy. We, the faculty and teachers, do hope you will be joining us this year.
Sincerely,
Principal J. Schmidt
You have just been accepted into a strange school, Belle Rivière Academy. But, knowing yourself, you feel like you might not be welcome among the students and faculty. However, the truth is, you'll be welcome no matter what! You may be part unicorn, or your uncle is a sorcerer. Maybe you're among the fierce, high-flying society of the griffin. Either way, you're at least unique in some way.
Here we have the girl's dormitory, Pride Hall.

This is the boy's dormitory across campus, opposite the girl's dormitory.

Over here, we have the cafeteria, with daily servings of fruits, vegetables, and the occasional carcass for those meat-eaters.

Outside, the woods that surround the campus is used to hold survival class, outdoor education, and just for that occasional feeling of being outside.

Back on campus, we have the science building, where some of the other classes such as chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, and physics are held.

And lastly, we have the administration building, where a majority of the classes are held.

- Jennifer Schmidt (TAKEN: angel51897)
- Female student 1, part griffin

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 5 authors
Walking a steady pace, Mrs. Schmidt strode past the empty classrooms. She glanced at the hallway clock as it read 6:57 a.m. "The cafe should be opening soon. Might as well start walking over now." She began to take longer strides as the clock ticked.
A few seconds had hardly passed as the principal strode over to the cafeteria. Reaching the first set of doors, Jenni spotted an early student. "Good morning, TJ. How are you today?" The first year freshman looked up timidly at the sorceress and looked down again. "Good morning, Mrs. Schmidt. I'm doing well..." She smiled in a friendly way. "That's good to hear. I believe today's breakfast will be tater tots, eggs, and blueberry muffins. Unless you're a carnivore, then I'd suggest the decaying carcass heated up in the oven." At the sound of a decaying carcass, TJ's mouth began to water. "Would that carcass include everything? Even the heart?" Jenni's smile grew wider and the sound of happiness in his voice. "Indeed."
Bellezza Omorfiá
Bellezza woke up to the sunlight streaming in through her window. She turned her head to look at her alarm clock. Shooting up in shock, Bella screamed. "Shit! It's 6:59! If only I saw this sooner!" Rushing out of bed, she quickly changed into jeans and a T-shirt, putting a black vest over it. Bella checked her hair and tied it into a messy ponytail.
Rushing out of her room, she closed the door and locked it behind her. She checked herself in the hallway mirror and straightened her shirt. "There we go." She headed down the stairs to first floor and rushed out the door. "Hi Dean B!" The young dean looked up drowsily from the front desk, wearing a pink robe and fuzzy slippers. "Hmm, morning Bella..." Bella rushed out the door and ran straight for the cafe. Tearing the door open, she looked at the principal having a decent conversation with one of the new freshman. "Morning Mrs. Schmidt. It's good to see you again." "Hello Bellezza. Have you met TJ already? He's a new freshman griffin here." Bella looked at the new kid and smiled. "'Sup kid?" He looked up shyly and smiled slightly. "'Sup."

His alarm buzzed in his head, making his dreams scatter. Opening his eyes he sighed when he say the time, 7:00. Shaking his head he sat up and stretched. He was always late for school, why would today be any different. Standing up he grabbed a shirt and pants. Putting them on, he checked himself in the mirror. Staring back at him was pink eyes and pure white hair. In his younger years, he always got picked on for being different. But here, he was welcomed. They accommodated for him. Realizing that he didn't have time to brush his teeth or anything, he grabbed his backpack and headed out.
Entering the café he noticed others were already there, including the principle. He headed over to the where they were, "Good morning." His voice still had that morning sound, and the taste inside his mouth indicated that he really should've brushed his teeth. But that was okay, his stomach wanted food, and that is what it shall get. Smiling at the others, he noticed a freshman.
"Hey." He smiled at the boy.
He looked up and smiled at Bellezza, "Morning."

Nellie woke with a start, her eye snapping open as she rolled out of bed and hit the floor with a thump and a splintering crack that should not have come from a girl of her size. She looked down and hissed out a few cuss words as she realized she had cracked the floor boards and a large splinter of it had stabbed into her knee. She growled and rolled over onto her but before pulling the shard of wood out before she sighed and rose to her feet. She ran her fingers through her tangled hair as she looked in the mirror. Electric blue eyes stared back at her. Her hair hang in a sexy mess around her face, and her plump pink lips formed a pout from the pain in her knee.
She pulled on a simple black skirt and a light yellow blouse with a pair of black pumps before she threw her hair up into a simple messy bun and applied a fine lair of makeup before heading to the café before she literally floated down the stairs. Once there she grabbed a cup of coffee and sat at the counter next to some of the other students with a pleasant smile.
Darren woke up to the sounds of three baby birds chirping in their nest which was to him three babies crying. He groaned and woke up to a Robin apologizing for her children but Darren shook his head and chirped as to tell her it was fine. He checked his clock and sighed knowing he was going to be late. He quickly grabbed his clothes which consitsted of a pair of jeans and a blue and white paper plaid shirt.
He rushed to the cafeteria and nearly vomited at the smell of eggs. He quickly grabbed a muffin and sat down in a secluded spot with the window open. He saw a chipmunk and squeaked to say hi and the rodent bounced over through the window and landed on his arm. She was a cute little thing and only a few months old. He quickly bit off a piece of his muffin and handed it to the animal who ate it happily as she began to talk about the current issues with the other animals.
Nicole woke up at the feel of sunlight hitting her face and she groaned. It didn't kill her on account she wasn't a full vampire but it still made her feel awful. She got up and got in the shower and started her morning routine. She got out of the shower, brushed her teeth, and fixed her hair into a bun and walked downstairs to the cafeteria, hungry as hell.
She made her way down and sighed happily. She grabbed some eggs and a coffee and sat with a few other girls she knew. She looked around and sighed looking at her peers. There was the psychic who she rarely talked to out of the depression she felt would be in the future. There was the unicorn boy who she never understood but slightly respected. Then there was the hippie king himself. She was surprised he didn't just come to his classes barefoot and in a loincloth. She sighed and her mind start to doze off and fall back asleep as she tried to wake herself with the coffee.
Bellezza looked at the next table over and smiled at Nicole. She waved happily, seeing that nothing would turn out so bad in the near future. 'I wonder what classes I have with her..?'
Picking up her tray, Bella carried it over to the conveyor belt by the exit of the cafe and watched as it slowly took her filthy dishes away. She closed her eyes, envisioning part of her morning. "Let's see... Hm, looks like I have a free first period." Walking out the door, she stepped sideways, letting the Minotaur football captain pass through. "Excuse me, Bellezza," he grunted as he passed by her. "Morning to you too, Josh." 'I wonder what he slept on....'

Grabbing a carrot stick and a muffin he started to much on it. He didn't really get full off the food here, since he had a big stomach, but he didn't really want to eat all the vegetables. Looking around he noticed the kid who could speak to animals. Smiling he walked over, "What's up?" He sat down. He was usually shy, but this school taught him to just be himself, which was open and outgoing. He just hoped that Darren didn't mind that he was there.
"So, what are the animals saying this morning?" He bit down on an apple that he had grabbed on the way over. Waiting for Darren's answer, Travis surveyed the room. Bellazza had just left, and the Minotaur captain had entered. The half vampire was sitting with some of her friends, and then there was him and Darren. He looked up at Darren again and smiled.
Darren was listening happily as he heard a human voice talking to him. It was Travis a Unicorn hybrid. Darren was particularly curious on what this guy could actually do. He heard screams of terror as the chipmunk bounded out the window. "Nothing really the poor gal just needed to vent. A hawk has been eating some of her relatives and she's just been mad." he said sighing and finishing his breakfast. "I could never imagine eating a rodent or let alone any meat." he turned and smiled back. "I'm guessing you feel the same being part equestrian, no offense." he knew of the boy's shyness and he didn't want him to hate him.
Nicole gave a soft smile to Bellaza as she waved. "Good girl." she said to herself. She then stood up finishing her coffee and tossed it away. She then sighed and started towards her first period not quite ready to go to classes today. She ignored the feeling and and went to first period and sat down in the corner of the room avoiding the morning sun as she sat back and closed her eyes a little.

Travis watched as the chipmunk ran out the window. When Darren told him of the poor chipmunks family he sighed, "That's terrible." At the mention of eating another animal Travis shook his head, "No offense taken, I could never do that. Sounds disgusting."
"So, how have you been?" He looked at Darren. Darren seemed interesting, and maybe this year, Travis would have the guts to actually hang out with people. He made it a goal this time. He wasn't about to let this year go by without any friends. It's not like he didn't talk to people, because in reality, he loved to talk to people. That was just in his nature, Unicorns were shy, but social creatures. He was very social, given that he was also part human. Vegan of course, but a human all the same. So, mentally, he made it a goal to make friends this year.
Realizing that he was probably looking a little weird just starting at the table, he looked up at Darren and smiled a little. What a great start he was making. How could he possibly get a girlfriend, if he can't even make one friend, one that's a guy even!
Darren shrugged. "Im fine I guess, I have a family of robins in my room who wake me every morning now so that's both a blessing and a curse for me." he smiled and said with a little pep. He didn't want to seem boring but he usually didn't tell people about him going out every night to try and talk to as many animals as possible. It was like his tradition and he wanted to keep it but he wanted to share it, unfortunately there isn't another human at this school who can talk to animals like he could.

Travis smiled, "That sounds interesting, yet annoying." He would hate to have robins right outside his window...especially if he could understand them. Luckily, he couldn't. Travis looked down at the table and then at his hands. He would rather have talking with animals, than what he could do. But, he was also happy that he was part Unicorn. It made him feel very special, and he loved that.
Looking around, the cafeteria was still quite empty, which was weird. Checking his clock, he sighed, first period was about to start. Travis thought about skipping, he didn't really feel up to going to biology today. He hated it so much. Especially when they start dissecting animals. But of course, he didn't actually know what Biology was when he picked it, and now he regrets it.
One of the cooks came up to him and patted him on the back, causing him to wake up. The cook gave him a warm cup of coffee, and some breakfast. Nathaniel thanked her and she headed back into the kitchen. Nathaniel had a bad habit of making friends with the chefs and janitors in his school. He used to be bullied, so those used to be his only friends.
Nathaniel stared at the breakfast for a while before finally sticking his fork into some eggs. He didn't really like eggs, but he needed to eat food in order to get enough energy to survive the day.

Nells sighed as she realized it didnt matter how she looked, no one was going to talk to her...she tired making friends, it just didnt work. She wasnt...weird enough for this place. All she did was shift her weight really. She realized suddenly that she was floating up. She sighed. She had subconsciously made herself lighter than air. She tried to shift her weight again to something a little heavier and found herself falling with a thump. Everyone stopped and stared. Nells felt her cheeks get warm as people started laughing at her. She forced herself not to get upset as she stood and brushed herself off while people continued to laugh She made her way outside in a dignified manor but felt the tears she had held back overflow once she hit the garden. Nells clenched her fist in anger and punched a tree, splintering it and making her hand bleed. She went to punch it again, intending to take it down, but heard faint chirping from at her feet. A baby bird had fallen from the nest above her head. She sighed and picked it up. She floated to the nest but found it empty of all life. She frowned. What kind of mother would abandon her own babies? She sighed and picked up the nest, put the baby bird in it, and floated to the ground. She wouldnt leave the damn thing to die.

Travis jumped when he heard a loud thump. Looking over he noticed the woman who could change weight suddenly on the floor. Everyone started to laugh at her. Feeling pity for her, he excused him self, and went to look for her. After a little bit of searching, he found in her the garden, floating down from a tree. He tilted his head, "Hello?"
He didn't want to make her angry, in fact, that was the last thing anyone should ever want to do. She could kill you with one, heavy punch, "I'm sorry about those people in there, they really had no right to laugh, we all are different." He tried to sound empathetic. He felt her pain, not because he literally could feel her pain, but because he knows what it's like to be laughed at. He wished that it didn't have to happen here as well.
Darren shrugged "I suppose" he said then heard a thud. It was Nellie, he didn't really know her well but he knew she could change her body wieght by will which would be a useful ability and more than his as he always thought his was a bit useless compared to others wonderful powers.
He rushed after Travis and looked concerned but said nothing since he wasn't able to truley talk to pure humans unless he was using broken English. Luckily Travis was half equestrian so he was able to understand him without any troubles although he never knew there was. "You okay? he said only able to say okay and sounded like he had problems speaking which he had never had, as long as the people he was talking to weren't pure human.
He then stopped moving and heard a small cry. "Hungry hungry" it said and realized there was a baby in her pocket and it sounded as if it was a bird. "Do you have a baby?" he asked and held out his palms as to take the bird. He could take it and at least try to find it's mother, if not get it to a proper home.
"Hello?"
Nellie jumped when she heard voices behind her. She almost dropped the baby bird as she spun around and stared at the two boys while wiping her tears stained cheeks.
"Uh...hi...." she muttered as she held the bird to her chest to keep it warm and safe.
"I'm sorry about those people in there, they really had no right to laugh, we all are different." the boy, she thought maybe his name was Travis, said.
"Apparently im not weird enough." Nells said with sad smile as she rubbed her bleeding hand on the back of her jeans.
"You okay?" the other boy asked.
"Yes, im okay" she said with a kind smile.
"Do you have a baby?" he asked
"Not that i know of--" she said with a frown then she looked down at the bird and realized he was talking about her.
"Oh, yeah, i was going to take care of he...her mom left...." she said with a frown as she studied the two boys.

"Glad to see that you're okay though." He looked at her hand, "How'd you get that?"
He knew that he was being kind of straight forward, but he wanted to make sure that she really was okay, and not just saying that to get us off her back. Looking at Darren he noticed how hard it really was for him to talk to people, animals he was okay with, and since Travis was part unicorn, it meant, part animal. It was very nice of him to come though, maybe this was another start to a friendship.
He looked at the girl, "My name is Travis." He held out a hand.

Nellie nodded in response to Travis's comment about the bird, then slid her hand behind her back in embarrassment as he pointed out her bleeding hand.
"Nothing, just...scraped it saving the bird...." She murmured.
"My name is Travis." he said. She smiled and took his hand in hers.
"I'm Nellie, but you can call me Nells" She said with a grin. She turned to the other boy and held the baby bird out to him.
"If you can take better care of her than i can, she's all yours" she said with a kind smile.

In the human world, Darren would be passed off as someone with a speech disability, and he would get help, Nells would just have to watch her weight. But Travis would have to dye his hair and get colored contacts, and never turn, or show his horn. It would work, but Travis's eyes didn't take well to contacts, and the dye would eventually come out.
Who was he kidding, why did it matter? He lived here now, a place where he was normal just the way he was. He smiled at that thought. He often thought about those kind of things. He was self conscious because of it, but he was working really hard to get over it.
His smile turned to a confused look as he put the chick in his shirt pocket and saw Nells' hand bleeding. "Should I get someone?" he asked concerned of the girl. He instantly regretted it as he realized he had no idea who he should ask about for a bleeding appendage.
He looked at Travis and wondered if he could since there was the myth that Unicorns are healers although Travis would never dare ask, especially since the equestrian discussion he had earlier. He really didn't want this boy to be mad at him since he was one of the few people who could understand him and that he could be around without having to bear them eating meat in his presence.
His thoughts were interrupted by the bird screaming she was hungry again and Darren sighed then jumped up in the tree using one arm like an ape. He then found a good leaf and jumped down and started to gather some nearby blueberries. They made a wonderful squishing sound of the juices as Darren pulld the chick back out and started to feed the bird the blue paste and hummed softly.

"Well it was nice to meet you" she murmured prepairing to leave them. part of her really didnt want to. She secretly wanted to hang out and feel normal, but she knew it wasnt possible. Even in a school full of freaks like herself.
"Take care of the baby" she murmured and turned.
