Week writing prompt - school for magical creatures

This is my writing for this week's #weeklyprompt

The prompt is 'you're a regular human and you get a letter inviting you to a high school for magical creatures'

Here's what I wrote (sorry it's a lot)

Beginning part is definitely not written from experience...

______________________________________________________

  I'm sitting in my room on my bed listening to Kiwi for the 10th time, cause what else is there to do in the summer on a Sunday afternoon? I hear my mom walk through the front door and up the stairs. She knocks on the door to my room.

   "Can I come in?" She asks

  "Sure." I say, taking out my earbuds and pausing the song.

   "There was a letter in the mail with your name on it." She tells me, handing me a plain white envelope with my name and address on it.

   "Who's it from?" I ask

  "I don't know. I didn't look too close at it."

  "All right." I say, getting up and walking to my desk.

   "I'll leave you to read that." My mom says as she turns toward the door.

   I unpause the song and pick up the letter opener off my desk. I cut open the envelope while singing along to the music in my earbuds.

   I stop singing soon after I open the letter and begin reading it, though.

   '𝓓𝓮𝓪𝓻 𝓣𝓪𝔂𝓵𝓸𝓻, ' the letter begins

  𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦? I wonder, knowing none of my friends would bother writing me a letter.

   I continue to read, though, because I can't stand the intensity of my curiosity.

  At the bottom of the letter I see an address. The address to the school I'm guessing.

   I look at the time and notice that it's 5:00 pm. I begin getting dressed to meet my friend Claire at the Sunset mall.

   After I'm dressed I go down stairs and to my mom in the kitchen.

   "Hey, mom. I'm going to the mall to meet Claire." I tell my mom

  "All right. Have fun." My mom says before she hugs me.

   "Bye mom." I say, and make my way to the front door.

   I walk out the door and get in my mom's car. I connect my phone to Bluetooth and turn on my playlist. The entire drive to the mall I'm thinking about the letter. I assume it's just a joke from my friends, but I make the decision that I'm going to check out the address on Monday.

   I arrive at the mall and see Claire waiting for me at the door.

   "You're late." Claire says as I approach her.

   "I'm sorry," I say "but I got a weird letter in the mail."

  "Ooh," Claire says "details please!"

  I tell her about the strange letter from the 'school' and she laughs her head off. When she's done she just looks at me for a minute. Then she says

  "It's probably a prank or something. Don't bother going." Claire tells me

  "Yeah, yeah." I say, and lightly punch her in the arm "Now let's get shopping."

  We spend over two hours walking around stores and occasionally buying something that catches our eye. I leave with a pink button up shirt, some vans, a black sweater, and some new colored pencils. All for very surprisingly cheap.

   "This was fun," I say to Claire when we leave the mall "I'll see you Monday."

  "See ya Monday." Claire says as she heads toward her car.

   I head toward my car and drive home. When I get there there's a small package at the front door with my name on it. I pick it up and head inside and up the stairs to my room. I close the door and sit down on my bed. I take my letter opener and use it to open the package. I open the package and gasp at what's inside. I pull out a white button up, a gray pleated skirt, and a vest with a school crest embroidered onto the left corner of the fabric. What's even more shocking is that it's all in my size.

   I open my closet and shove it all to the bottom. Then I jump onto my bed and try to read my book like nothing is happening.

   At 9:00 pm I go to bed and try to sleep, though I barely succeed.

   In the morning I get up and do my normal routine of using my phone until ten, then getting up and putting on my black jogging pants. Then I go down stairs to the kitchen and make myself a fried egg and grilled cheese. I go into the living room and cuddle up on the couch next to my mom. We talk for a little while about my time at the mall yesterday, school, books, and a bunch of other things. I don't bring up the letter, or the contents of the package, because I'm afraid I'll scare her.

   I watch TV for a while, then I text Claire. I read for an hour, then go to bed.

   On Monday morning I get up and dress in my normal clothes. Then I change my mind and dig the uniform out of the bottom of my closet. I put it on, but I switch out the white button up for my new pink one. I put on my new white vans and my black sweater over the top of the uniform. It's warm, but I don't want my mom to see the strange clothes. I grab my school bag and go down stairs. After I say goodbye to my mom I walk out the front door.

   Instead of waiting for the bus like usual, though, I walk down the road and in the direction of the address from the letter. I go to the wrong address twice, and by the time I get to the right one it's 8:30. All I see at the address is a run down old two story building. Curiosity gets the best of me, though, and I walk inside. What's inside looks completely different then the outside. The inside looks like a regular high school, except for the people. There's lockers, classroom doors, and stairs leading to the second level of the building. There's also people with wings, horns, and loads of unbelievable strange things moving from place to place.

   I begin to back away towards the door when I bump into something. I turn around and my eyes meet a person's chest. I look up and see the face of an old woman with glowing purple eyes and green horns. She's staring down at me.

   "You must be Taylor." She says as she extends her hand toward me.

   "Yes." I say "Can you please tell me where I am?"

   "You're at Franklin's School For Magical Creatures of course." She tells me "I'm Principal Xandria King. You must have gotten my letter."

  "Yes, Principal." I say "Could you tell me what's going on?"

  "You're late." She says as she begins to frown "I said no tardiness. And get into your uniform. Your first class is chemistry."

   Before I can say anything else she turns around and walks into a door. I take off my sweater and shove into my backpack. When I look up I see a girl with green eyes and purple hair staring at me. I blush as I notice how unnaturally beautiful she is.

   "Hi!" She says "You must be new here."

  "Y-Yeah… " I stutter "I'm Taylor."

   "I'm Kaitlyn." She says and hugs me. That just makes my face even hotter. "I'll show you to the chemistry classroom. I'm pretty sure we have it together."

  "Thank you." I say, happy to have some help finding my way around this strange place.

   She turns around to lead me to class and I notice the beautiful blue wings coming out of her back. I have to hold back a gasp.

   We make it to chemistry by nine and the bell rings just as we sit down in two desks next to each other. The teacher walks in and he's a tall man with green leafy hair and pointed ears. He begins class and I completely zone out as I look around the classroom, shocked at all the strange beings around me. The bell rings at ten, signaling for everyone to leave class. I walk out the door and follow Kaitlyn to the next class, math.

   In math I sit at a table group with Kaitlyn and two boys who look almost exactly alike. The only difference between them is that one of them has black feathered wings and the other has pink.

   "Hi" They say at the same time

  "I'm Zack" The black winged one says

  "I'm Jake" The pink winged one says

  "I'm Taylor" I say

  The teacher, a female centaur, walks in and hands out papers to every table group. The papers are filled with questions that I know the answers to, so I finish it easily and hand it to the teacher.

   "Great job!" She says, smiling "You can start heading to your next class now."

   I notice a paper in my skirt pocket and when I look at it I see a schedule. I read it and realize I have PE next. When I leave the classroom I see that the Gymnasium is right across the ball, so I go in and approach the teacher, who is completely normal except for a cat tail coming out of the back of her shorts.

   "Hello, you must be the new student." She says, handing me a pair of shorts and a T-shirt with the school crest on it. "Here's some clothes for class. You should change."

  "Ok" I say and walk toward the locker room doors she's pointing to.

   I change into the clothes and leave the locker room to find a bunch of other students in the room. The teacher gives everyone a list of exercises to do. Class ends and I go to the cafeteria. I eat lunch alone at a table because I can't find Kaitlyn.

   The last two classes are boring just like normal high school classes. At the end of the day I leave the school and get on the bus waiting outside. I find Kaitlyn on the bus and sit next to her. I close my eyes, tired from the confusing and strange day.

   When I open my eyes I'm in my bed wearing my regular clothes. I walk over to my desk and look in the drawer I left the letter in, but I find nothing.

   𝘎𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 I tell myself as I put in my earbuds and turn on my music.

   I lay back down and stare at my ceiling, thinking about the strange dream I just had. Then I hear a bus outside my house. I go over to my window and look out. I see a bus leaving the top of my driveway. The bus has a school crest on it, and there's a gorgeous girl with pretty blue wings leaning out a window waving.
