The Zabelria

Chapter one

‘I hope I just do homeschooling.’ Ria thought.

It was the first day of school. She always hated going to school. Especially today. She always thought she was a outcast. But she had a feeling that something will change. She walked into the living room.

“Are you ready to go to school?” Mom asked.

“Yes...” Ria answered.

‘No’ Her mind answered.

Ria ate breakfast and walked to the bus stop.

She and her younger brother, Iggie stayed quiet.

The bus arrived.

“Have a great day.” Mom said.

“Yes.” Ria and Iggie answered.

They rode the bus to school. She just walked into the classroom. A new girl was sitting there.

‘I wish I can see a kindered spirit on her.“ Ria thought.

She sat down on her seat. She saw her friends.

“This is Zabel, from France. I hope you get along well.” The teacher said.

At recess, the kids asked questions at her.

“What school are you from?”

“Do you know how to speak French?”

“How can you be so tall?”

“What happened to your hair?”

“Did you have many friends?”

“Why did you move here?”

“Why is there are a big scar on your face? Are you okay?”

“I don’t want any friends, or your attention at all. So don’t talk to me, or give any attention. Except when you really need.” The new girl simply said in French.

“What is she saying, Erika?” Elie asked.

Kids thought Erica was best at English at the whole school.

“No. I have no idea.” She said.

“What do you think, Ria?” Selvia asked.

The kids thought Ria was the second best at English at the school.

“It’s not English, it’s another kid of European language, I think. But I think she isn’t saying a nice word.” Ria answered.

“Come on, let’s play board game. Ria, you’re going to the library, right?” Gaby asked.

“Yes.” Ria said. She ran to the library.

When she came back, the girls and boys gathered in a corner and was playing Doble. While Zabel stayed in her seat, reading a book. The book’s title was ‘One’.

Zabel was reading about one, and she had a secret that she had a world of herself, and that she was a gifted child, and a enchantress. She came here to find her one, to help her get rid of her curse. But she had no idea, and she came here without her parents. No one knows who she is.

‘I don’t think one of these disturbing kids can be one to me. I will go back to my world.’ she thought.

Zabel was a very simple girl, but she didn’t like the things other kids liked; like idols, pop music, shopping, diet, and more.

Ria walked toward Zabel.

“Can you teach me how to speak French?” she asked.

“I think I can.” Zabel said, this time, in English.

“Why didn’t you speak English before?” Ria asked.

“I won’t, to those noisy kids.” Zabel said.

“What? You are talking like a granny.” Ria said.

Zabel simply nodded.

“What is the book you are reading?” Ria asked.

“One.”

“One? Can I try it?” Ria asked.

“No. It’s a secret book.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Let’s go to the library at lunchtime to study French.” Zabel said.

“Sure!” Ria said.

‘Maybe she’s the one.’ Zabel thought.

Ria was the first kid Zabel talked to nicely after her dreadful curse.
