Alexina POV.
"Billy!"
"Hudson!"
"Connor!"
"Billy!"
Oh for crying out loud.
Groaning, I climbed out of my bed and immediately felt a frown on my face.
Its too early in the morning for this. How did they even get into the dorm anyway? They don't have a key.
Dragging my feet across the floor, I pulled my bedroom door open and frowned again when I saw Billy, Hudson, Connor, Abigail and Malin all sat in the living room.
"Good morning sleepy head!" Connor beamed and I glared at him as I leaned against the kicthen counter.
"Why are you guys here and how did you get in?" I asked and Billy dangled a pair of keys in the air, not even bothering to look at me. "Who gave you keys?"
"We gave the boys a key. We hope its not a problem." Malin smiled and I shook my head as I sipped my orange juice.
"Of course not. But you'll be regretting it next week," I laughed as I remained stood up against the kitchen counter.
The boys threw me glares and I smiled brightly at them all before glancing down at my vibrating phone.
My eyes widened as I saw the name and I brought the phone up to my ear.
"Mum!"
"You're not usually awake this early honey."
"Yeah the boys woke me up."
"Typical."
"Anyway... what's up? You never call this early."
"Me and your father are having a meeting with Headmaster Wells. Apparently all the parents involved with yesterday's incident are being brought in for this meeting."
"I'd be prepared for the Zinapoli family to kick off."
"What is it with that family?"
"I don't know mum. Its too early for me to think."
"Okay. Well get ready. Me and your father will be at your dorm within half an hour."
"I was going to go back to sleep."
"Too bad kiddo. Get ready."

My foot tapped repeatedly against the floor as I listened to the extremely boring lecture that Headmaster Wells was giving.
The parents in the room seemed interested. My mother was quite stern this morning stating that eventhough she knows its not our fault, she doesn't want us rising to whatever it is Lucian, TJ and Grayson have planned for us.
My parents have been keen on giving their opinion as have Lucian's. I don't like the vibes I'm receiving from the Zinapoli family.
Its as if there is something up their sleeve, with Lucians mother having the left side of her fringe grey, she could audition for the part of Cruella DeVille in 101 Dalmatians.
"Sir, if I may just say-" Lucian held his hand up. "It was Connor who attacked me, we must see some form of punishment." He smirked and snapped his head in our direction.
Connor was less than bothered and remained in his seat. His mother Lina rolled her eyes at the Zinapoli family and geustured for Headmaster Wells to turn in our direction.
"Francis." Lina nodded. "My son only attacked him due to his constant bullying of Miss Fredrickson. If something had been done about Zinapanini and his bullying before hand- this never would of happened." Lina spoke with authority, as if she were untouchable.
Its a quality of hers that I admire.
"Since when did wizarding families become civil with elementals?" Lucian's father spoke up. His suit a little too tight for his body.
"As far as I'm concerned Abigail has been nothing but welcoming to our children. Malin included." My mother spoke up. "Your son deserved the treatment he was given. How dare you sit there and defend his actions." My mother directed her anger towards Lucian's family.
"Why is everybody having ago at me?" Lucian groaned. "Grayson and TJ were there too!"
"Grayson and TJ didn't humiliate us like you did." Malin sighed. "And then you tried to spell Alexina and-"
"HE WHAT!?" My father screamed and within seconds he was stood up a flame ready in his hand ready to launch.
"Relax dad, he is too stupid to know that his magic doesn't work on us." I snarled but my dad shook his head.
"Hang on a minute. Let's address the probelm." Hudson's mother Avleen stood up, she has always been calm and collected. "Why should Connor be punished for attacking Lucian when Lucian tried to spell Alexina? I hope this isn't favoritism Francis," Avleen shook her head as she touched up her afro.
"I'd put that flame out if I were you Valentine," Lucian's dad snarled as he stood up.
Challenging my dad.
The worst mistake.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't burn you to the ground right now," my dad growled, the fame still standing in his hand.
The fear being clear in Lucian's fathers eyes as he watched the flame reach him closer and closer, the humiliation he would recieve if my dad attacked him right now would be forever lasting.
Rolling my eyes at the current scenario, I turned to Billy who seemed bored. His parents were watching with amusment and his dad smiled at me before standing up and placing a hand on my dad's shoulder.
Once he whispered something in his ear, my dad sat back down while Billy's dad Sebastian turned to Francis and smiled.
"If Lucian doesn't receive a punishment, neither will Connor. If I find out he tries to spell one of our children, the authorities will close this academy down." Sebastian spoke clamly but the viciousness in his voice was clear.
An Elemental always has an Elementals back.
"If he bullies our kids, Malin and Abigail again, just know that those kids have Xavier's permission to, drown, bury, suffocate or burn him. We don't tolerate bullying and unprovoked attacks on our own or our allies Francis. Let that be a warning." Sebastian narrowed his eyes at Headmaster Wells before tightening his jacket around him.
I'm very surprised that Abigail, Grayson and TJ didnt speak up. Neither did their families.
Grayson's parents seem very content at where things have been left. He was pulled at the start for his bullying and agreed not to do it again as did TJ. Lucian however had something to say, as always.
While we still remained sat down Sebastian turned to the rest of our parents. For some reason, they all nodded their heads and I groaned thinking this was going to continue even longer.
"The Melvin family and the Millerson family, Xavier apologies and so do we that you have been dragged into this mess. All we can do is hope that our children learn to be civil and not end up like them." Sebastian pointed to the Zinapoli family and Billy started laughing.
I didn't miss the smirk on Grayson's face that was aimed at me. I kept my glare on though, just because he is good looking, doesn't mean I will fall for his charm.
We were instructed to leave and I grabbed my bag and put my blazer back on. I still think its ridiculous that we have to wear uniform.
Falling into step with Abigail, she was quieter than usual and flashed her a soft smile before facing the front.
"You're quiet," I teased, and she shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't have much to say. Plus, my parents will be enforcing their opinion in there now that we're out," she laughed, and I nodded my head at her while stopping at her locker.
Connor, Malin, Billy and Hudson were all at the end of the corridor, their lesson starting soon.
Me and Abigail have a free period and we're planning on going to the local cafe for something to eat. That was until I saw the book she was talking about the other night.
"Woah," I whispered as I pulled it out.
Its falling apart yet it still holds so much colour. Its dark red exterior was only just being held together with yellow embroidery around the edges.
Its pages were a dark stained colour but they were holding themselves well.
"We have to check this out," I grinned. "Come on... please!" I begged Abigail who had a face of horror.
"What if we get caught?" She asked and I shook my head at her.
"Do you know an invisibility spell?" I questioned and dread covered her face.
So she does know one? Ha!
"Just this once?"
"I thought we opened the case back up?" I asked and she bit her lower lip.
"Fine! But we can't get caught,"
"Oh come on Abby..." I grinned before holding the book to my chest. "Lets have some fun!"
"Fine. But if we get caught, I will find a spell to use on you." She pointed and I laughed at her response before heading into the main corridor, not missing the suspicious glare that I was receiving from Grayson.
Ignoring him I turned to Abigial, her anxiousness making me laugh before I placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Lets have some fun."
