First day part 2

Ariellas pov

The courtyard was completely empty. I had read a lot of mortal books on schools and this was definitely not what I envisioned.

"Everyone's already in class. Let's go." My father whispered. Why he was being quiet when nobody was around us made no sense. It was beyond quiet and I definitely didn't like it.

"Do you think we are the only ones late?" I asked as we walked though the courtyard. There's no way I could be the only one late right.

"Here." My father said right as he teleported us out. I actually wasn't a fan of teleporting. It made me feel funny. I preferred to walk to enjoy the scenery. Something that I could thank on being powerless.

My father created things for me in the back yard to mimic different realms but it wasn't the same as the real thing. It would never be the same. I always thought it was amazing but now that I seen the real thing, I refused to go back to my back yard unless it was just a back yard. No more fake beaches or forests. I wanted the real thing from now on.

"May I help you sir?" A soft voice asked from behind a finely made desk. The wood designs looked to be carved by hand. The little swirls were detailed with great precision. I reached out to touch it but my father smacked my hand away.

"Yes my daughter is new here. Ariella. We were running a little late but." My father Got half way through explaining about my bathroom disaster before the pink haired lady was waving him off. She was small and looked more like a fairy than a Goddess.

"Did you need me?" A deep voice next to me asked. I looked over to a God who looked to be as tall as my father. He seemed to be my age but something about him was different.

His dark hair was short but sticking up like he used magic instead of product. His green eyes were a bright green. They were brighter than my father's. They sparkled in the light. As dark as a leaf maybe. They looked like my eyes when they changed from light blue to green.

"Are you ready?" His deep voice asked. I looked up at him staring at me with a weird expression. Was he judging me? His raised eyebrow had me looking away.

"I'm guessing you weren't paying attention. I'm Blake and I'll be your tour guide until you get settled." He said in a tone that sounded more mocking than friendly.

"I'll see you later sweetheart." My father whispered as he gave me a kiss on the top of my head.

"Wait." I blurted as I realized he was just leaving me here. I turned towards him and all he did was give me a sad look. The fact that he waited for me to talk took away alittle of the fear that was drowning me in an ocean of insecurities and doubt.

"Aren't... Aren't you coming with. We didn't even get to talk or umm." I couldn't even finish my sentence as the tears started to cloud my eyes. My father grabbed me and hugged me tight without a second thought. He knew me so well.

"You were so worried about looking good this morning that I didn't want to ruin your concentration." He whispered into my hair. I couldn't help the sob that came as I realized I was so worried about the school that I neglected to spend time with my dad.

I never had been away from him. He worked at home and only left when I was sleep or doing my own thing. I could feel the knots forming the more I hugged him. I didn't think this through. Was I ready?

"If you want you can." A clearing of a throat had me sniffling alittle and my father stopping mid sentence.

"I know you are new here but we kind of are on a schedule. So if you could." The God named Blake rudely said. I didn't bother to take my head out of my fathers chest because it was comforting.

How could I do this. "Hunny. I know you are scared but it will be fine." He said trying to coax me. I was pushed back and forced to look at him. He kneeled alittle so we could be eye level and that did nothing to help the aniexty that was eating away at me.

"Maybe I should do online classes first." I decided in a split second. I wasn't ready and he suggested it and I refused. Now I was changing my refusal to an acceptance.

"Honey. We are already here. Do you really want to go home to our boring house?" He asked softly. I did. I could be without this school with God's I didn't know but how could I live without my dad. What was I thinking?

"It will be fine." Blake interrupted as he pulled me away from my father. I looked over at him with a scowl. I definitely wouldn't be staying here with someone that was beyond rude.

All he did was smirk before lifting his hands up in the air in a surrendering gesture. I couldn't be bothered with this nonsense. I turned back to my father who was no longer here.

I looked around and seen he was completely gone. The office was completely empty besides the few Goddesses that were writing and typing away. He didn't even say goodbye. He said I could go home. Well he started to until this God interrupted.

My fear turned to anger as I realized he did that on purpose. "I want to go home." I snapped at him, not caring that I spent years begging. I wasn't ready and it took today to realize it.

He gave me a once over before mockingly stating. "It's too late. Once you apply you are bound by bond and unless you want to break the law you are stuck here." His nice attitude was angering me. Nobody ever told me that there was no backing out.
