The Minori Castle

John stood at the entrance while watching us pass by, I could hear the students' sighs relieved that they were finally able to rest in their rooms, when all the students passed by the entrance, John played the bugle again and then closed behind us. Some students ran out to hug their friends who were already in the Castle, others sat on their suitcases and waited a while. The Power Bosses handed over the suitcases they were carrying and headed for the Castle. We both went on and entered the castle.

- We've finally arrived! Wow, what tiredness - Aisha put her bags down and started to stretch. - You must be dead tired too, huh, Diana?

- Sure, now come on, this backpack and these bags are heavy and I really need to go to our room - I spoke after holding firmly the handle of my backpack that was on my back and taking my bags that I had also left on the floor.

- True, we need to rest - Aisha stopped stretching and took her bags.

Aisha and I used to occupy the same room, that's how things worked around here. Two students occupy the same space, the principal only let more than two in the room when they were brothers or cousins. It's a shame it couldn't be three students, so Aria could stay with us.

Suddenly Aisha takes me out of my thoughts with her sudden scream - ARIA!

- Hi girls! I missed you," said Aria as she elegantly descended the main stairs.

- Triple hug! - said Aisha hugging us.

- When did you get here? - I asked after I left.

- Yesterday it was about half past six in the afternoon if I'm not mistaken - replied Aria as she moved her beautiful blonde hair.

- Fast as ever! - said Aisha.

- That's because my van is the fastest! - said Aria with her hands on her waist.

- And the students who occupy it too - I joked.

- And the students who occupy it too - I joked. - Yeah, I still think it's kind of weird to have a van just to pick up the High Society Speed Dominators... - said Aria. - That's not half... how can I put it...

- Too much? - asked Aisha.

- That's it! Almost, I think," said Aria as she scratched her head.

- Aria, always confused - I spoke.

- It's a talent," said Aria smiling.

We laughed and then headed for our room. The Castle Minori was a Victorian Castle, it is very beautiful and very big, it was made to occupy seven thousand people, there are several rooms and several classrooms. Behind it is where the training area is, and much deeper down is the place where the competitions take place. From time to time he has competitions at school, like who is faster or who masters some skill better and so on. It's very nice. And most of the groups compete to have Aisha or the twins in their group. But until it's no use because Aisha always stays in the same group as me, she never disengages from me, neither she nor Aria, they are like sisters to me. Sometimes the twin brothers stay in my group, and my group ends up taking the victory, well... in some trials. We never win the competition itself.

- Aria, is Jared here yet? - asked Aisha suddenly.

- Not yet, Aisha - replied Aria.

- I see, are there enough students here? - asked Aisha. - If so, did they arrive the same day as you?

- My God, how many questions. And yes, some Vans have already left the students here, and others arrived early today," answered Aria.

- Were there any students here when you arrived? - I asked.

- Yes, my van was the second to arrive at Castle Minori - replied Aria as she deviated from a student coming towards her.

- Who got there first? - I asked as I saw him passing by us.

- Hm... Try to guess - Aria said while looking at me.

- The Windbenders? - I suggested.

- You got it right! - said Aria.

- Man... I don't like them at all, they think they're the incredible ones - said Aisha. - They're just a bunch of kids from....

- Aisha! They're not all like that, you know that - I told you.

- Yes, I know... But most of them suck! The only thing they know how to do is despise others, so I don't see why they shouldn't curse these suckers.

- And who gives a shit about these guys? They're just a bunch of jealous guys," said Aria. - And they still have the most common power.

- True - agreed Aisha.

- Well... here we are! Aria's room. See you later, girls - said Aria opening the door to her room.

- Okay! - said Aisha.

- See you later, Aria - I spoke.

Then we went ahead in that huge corridor, there were several old landscape paintings on the walls, on the windows there were red curtains but they were on the side for the light to enter, you could still see the sunset showing its last copper contrasts. On the ceiling beautiful crystal chandeliers shone and a beautiful red carpet covered the floor. There were several students in the corridors going back and forth.

Then after our short walk to our room, we were finely in front of him, I opened the door and we entered, I was dead tired, it was a long journey here.

- Wow... I was missing this room, we spent most of our time here in this castle, you getting used to living here - I said.

- True, this place has become a second home to us," said Aisha sitting on her bed. - Wait a minute! What the...

- Huh? What is it, Aisha? - I asked as I looked at your serious expression.

- They switched my mattress! Who the fuck put a hard mattress on for me? - said angry Aisha.

- Oh gods! And there we go again... - ...I spoke lying in my bed.

- I HATE HARD MATTRESS! - shouted Aisha as he left the room grumbling.

- Wait, Aisha! Where are you going? Oh, she's gone. I bet she's gone to complain to some teacher - I spoke. - Well... I'm gonna get some rest in the meantime.
