Julianna POV At first, I thought it was just a dream or a weird side effect of the weird pizza I had for dinner last night. But as I swung my legs over the side of the bed, I saw another flash, this time, of my best friend, Lyra, falling of the stairs.I jumped out of bed and grabbed my phone to text Lyra. "Hey, be careful on the stairs today!"Lyra responded immediately. "What's going on? You okay?"I hesitated, unsure how to explain. "Just...trust me, okay?"Lyra sent back a skeptical emoji, but I knew she'd be careful.Lyra POV "I wonder what she is so worried about." I said to myself. "I'll just fly back just to be safe."I then transformed into a bat flew above the stairs. Just then I heard a crashing sound and turned to see the stairs collapses.I was surprised. "How did Julie know." I thought Lyra's POV I wondered what was troubling her. "I'll just check on her," I thought, transforming into a bat to fly back to my room. Mid-flight, a crashing sound startled me. I turned to
Julianna POV I settled into my favorite studying spot, surrounded by textbooks and notes. Exams were looming, and I was determined to ace them. It had been a week since I started training to control my new power, but academics came first."Julie, can you see into the future to check the exam questions?" Lyra asked, reading upside down on the ceiling.I rolled my eyes. "You know I can't do that, even if I wanted to. That would be cheating."Lyra chuckled. "Exactly the response I'd expect from you."Just then, Scott burst in without knocking."Seriously, haven't you heard of knocking?" I tossed a pillow at him.Lyra echoed my sentiment. "What brings you here, Scott?"Scott shrugged. "I should be asking you the same thing. You're supposed to be training, Julianna. Let's go."I shook my head. "I'm not going anywhere. Exams are next week, and I need to study.""What!" Scott exclaimed."I suggest you should better go study," I said with a grin."Nah, I can ace the exams without studying. N
Julianna POV The day of the exams finally arrived, and tension filled the air. Students poured over notes and textbooks, determined to perform well. I spotted Scott walking by, nose buried in a book."Actually reading, huh?" I teased.Scott looked up, eyes flashing with determination. "I refuse to lose to you."I smirked. "We'll see."Days passed, and the exams came to an end. I dove back into my training, focusing on hand-to-hand combat with Lyra."Why do I need to learn how to fight?" I panted, wiping sweat from my brow.Lyra delivered a swift kick. "Two reasons: self-defense and enhancing your precognitive powers. We know they're triggered when you're in trouble."I nodded, understanding. "I get it, but this is exhausting."Just then, Lyra's phone beeped. "What is it?" I asked."Exam results are out," Lyra said, eyes sparkling. "Let's go check."We navigated through the crowded hallway to the notice board. My heart skipped a beat as I scanned the list."Julie, look up," Lyra whisp
Julianna POV Another day in school and the whole school is excited to be with there family because of the parent teacher conference. As we strolled down the hallway, Lyra and I discussed the upcoming parent-teacher conference."Will your parents be coming, Julie?" Lyra asked.I shook my head. "Nope. My dad's out of town, and my mom's a nurse; she's really busy."I turned the question around. "What about you?"Lyra smiled. "My parents won't make it this year, but my big sister and little bro will show up."My curiosity piqued, I asked, "You never mentioned a big sister."Lyra teased, "You never asked."Intrigued, I pressed for details. "What's she like?"Lyra's eyes lit up. "She's smart, kind, and puts on a tough exterior, but she's really tenderhearted. She graduated from this school two years ago."I nodded, impressed. "She sounds amazing."Just then, a tiny ball of energy shouted, "Lyra!!" and hurtled towards us.Lyra's little brother, Jason, flung himself into her arms, wrapping h
Julianna POVI was standing and staring now at a very large black gate covered with vines and with the word Paranormal High written on it with rusts.The gate is obviously old, and even its design is due to rust.This is it Julianna, you are already in front of an extraordinary school.You are already in front of your dream school.Your dream is ahead and within your reach.I wiped the tears that dripped down my cheeks from my eyes.l am so happy because finally, my dream is in front of me. It's only a matter of time before you can enter a prestigious school here in Fall City.I grabbed my luggage again as the old and high gate slowly opened.This is it."Ms. Harris." A man in his fifty's or maybe older smiled, he is probably the principal of this school."I'm Chairman Johnson, one of the official officers at this School."He introduce himself."Nice to meet you." I said with a smile."Welcome to Paranormal High." He said with a smile so I smiled."Thank you." I said. She took one of my
Julianna POVI smiled as I opened the door of my room and almost gasped at the sight of the vase space before me, the room was enormous! With Living room, kitchen and there are two more hallways. It felt like a house rather than a room.The interior theme is black and the furniture theme is white. There are paintings hanging on the wall."Roommate."a voice said, I looked at the one who's spoken. I saw the woman leaning against a wall.Her long black hair that is knee-length, black lipstick, black eyeliner, black nails, and is wearing a black t-shirt and black pants.She looks like a rebellious girl when you look at her with the chewing gum in her mouth leaning on the wall and cross arms."Welcome roommate! My name is Lyra Bloodworth, and I'm your beautiful vampire roommate!" She exclaimed, transforming into a bat and then flew closer to me and returned to her human form.As she stood before me, my gaze was drawn to her mouth, where two razor-sharp fangs gleamed in the light. Their shin
Julianna POVAs Lyra and I are walked to the dining hall I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the sheer size of paranormal High.Lyra said that Paranormal high is so big that, it would take about six hours to go explore the entire campus, and I was starting to believe her. We were just in the seventh hall and I was already feeling overwhelmed, Paranormal High is really beautiful."Here we are!" Lyra exclaimed , we were with some Paranormal High students entering the dining hall. I gasped at the sight before me. "The dining hall was impressive, with long tables lined up in a row, each accompanied by a matching chair. Along the sides, a sprawling buffet offered an astonishing array of different dishes, each one more tantalizing than the last and a floating table with six chairs.""Let's get some foods first" Lyra said and pulled me closer to the foods. My saliva almost dripped as I saw and inhaled the food. So fragrant! I got some food and after that we walked closer to the nearby table.
Julianna POVAs we entered our room Lyra filled me in on everything she knew on the Thane Siblings and the rules and regulations at Paranormal high. "Remember, Julie, there is a curfew here. We can't leave our room after 9 PM," She reminded me.Lyra then asked to see my schedule of the upcoming classes "Oh Julie, the start of your studies here at Paranormal high is tomorrow, where is your schedule?" I pointed to the table in my room. "It's right there"Lyra walked over to grab it and scanned the list of classes. "Ah! We have Witchcraft and Spellcasting together I'm sure you will enjoy the class, trust me it's fun, but..." Here eyes widened as she looked at the rest of my schedule "You classmates for the other subjects are the Thane Siblings"I raised my eyebrowns in concern, "What's wrong with that " I asked, my voice lased with a hint of defensiveness.Lyra expression turned serious, with her face looking worried. "Let's just say there are mischievous. They are know for pranks, their

Julianna POV Another day at school and it was the end of first period. The bell rang, meaning it's lunch time. As I walked through the hallway, the usual chatter and laughter were replaced by hushed whispers and nervous glances, couldn't help but over hear some students conversation."Have you heard?" a student asked another."No, what happened?" his friend replied."The principal is back," the student said, eyes wide with concern.Students exchanged nervous glances, their usual chatter replaced by whispered speculation."What's going to happen now?" a student whispered."Do you think he'll..."I entered the dining hall, spotting Lyra waving at me from across the room. We began to discuss what was going on as we ate."Hey, have you heard?" Lyra asked as I joined her."The principal's back," I replied.Lyra nodded. "Seems you're updated.""Why's everyone so uneasy?" I asked.Scott joined us, his expression grim. "Because the Principal is a sadistic maniac hell-bent on making students
Julianna POVWe were in potion making class. Our teacher Miss. Alice stood at the front of the classroom, a warm smile on her face. "Good day, class, you'll be preparing your favorite dish for a special assignment. Try and be creative."The classroom erupted into excited chatter as students began brainstorming.Then Scott raised his hands." Excuse me Miss. Alice what does potion class have to do with cooking.""Excellent question Scott. Well making potions is very similar to cooking. So I need to examine your cooking skills so I can know how to go about the potion classes in the future." Miss. Alice explained.Lyra leaned over to me. "I'm making my famous mermaid-themed cupcakes."I grinned. "I' think I will just make my mom's signature lasagna."Lila chimed in. "I'm making pancakes." Scott, sitting across from us, scoffed. "Amateurs. I'll show you what real cooking looks like."Lily whispered to Lila, "Oh boy, here we go again.""Scott you are terrible at cooking." Lily said with a
Julianna POV In Scott's room, I continued training to control my powers. Scott tossed tennis balls at me, while I try to stop it with my powers."You're still too slow," Scott said, throwing another ball.I caught it mid-air, but Scott wasn't impressed. "Still too slow," he repeated.I collapsed on the floor, exhausted. "I'm done."Scott relented. "Fine, two-minute break."Lyra intervened, "You need a break from all this training. Tomorrow, we're going shopping."The next day, Lyra burst into my room. "Wakie, wakie, sleepyhead!"I groggily opened my eyes. "It's way too early."Lyra insisted, "We must go early, or we'll be late."I countered, "The mall's open 24/7. Why are you so happy about this anyway?""I want to spend time with my friend." Lyra replied with a smile."Yeah right. You just want to buy stuff."Lyra grinned. "Guilty as charged."Lyra pulled me out of bed. "Get ready, or we'll be late.""Alright, I'm coming." I said getting ready for the day.At the mall, Lyra dragged
Julianna POVI settled into my room, reading in the book Scott had given me, while Lyra watched TV."Hey Lyra, I've been wondering," I said. "Why can Scott sometimes move when I pulse time?"Lyra turned down the volume. "I'm not sure. I think you unconsciously gave him permission to move.""Hmm." I pondered this.Lyra offered reassurance. "Just give it time, Julianna. You'll learn to control your powers eventually."She tossed a pillow at me playfully.I responded quickly, pulsing time to freeze the pillow mid-air."See? You're getting better already," Lyra said, beaming.Just then, a knock at the door broke my concentration, and the pillow fell."Scott, better not—" I started, opening the door.But it wasn't Scott. Lily and Lila stood in the hallway, smiling."Sorry to disappoint, but it's not Scott," Lily said, winking.Lila added, "You're spending too much time with our brother."I chuckled. "Sorry about that. Come in."As they entered, I asked, "What brings you two here?"Lily held
Lyra POVI leaned forward, focusing on Julianna's training. "We just need to find a way to focus your mana in one direction."Julianna raised an eyebrow. "You make it sound easy.""Controlling your powers will prevent another full-time pulse," I explained. "Right now, your mana leaves your body unchecked, causing you to constantly faint.. Mastering control means help to prevent that."Scott nodded. "I had similar issues as a kid. Once, I accidentally summoned a tornado in our house."Scott grinned mischievously. "Fun times."Suddenly, Scott's eyes sparkled. "I've got it!"He vanished and reappeared with his super speed, holding a tennis ball. "Ta-da!"Julianna rolled her eyes. "This isn't playtime, Scott."Scott defended. "This is how I learned control. Throw the ball, hit it with your mana. Like target practice."I nodded. "Worth a try."Julianna resigned. "Fine, let's play ball."I settled in to study the book. Hours passed without progress. Bored, I noticed a locked drawer beside S
