Coral Academy and the Emerald Pearl

Chapter 1:Nio Way

When the morning came and every one had eaten breakfast, been dressed, and brushed their teeth for the morning. We got in our car and Mrs. Caro drove. Mr. Caro was searching the web on his shell phone to find the directions to Nio Way.
   "Honey, I am positive. I know the way there," Mrs. Caro assured Tomas Caro, my father, for the 6th time that morning.
   Me and Kianna were waiting silently in the back seat. I flipped my multi colored tail around nervously yet excitedly. When I did this I kicked the back of the front passenger seat where my father was sitting.
   "Sabrina Mae Caro!" My father yelled, "could you stop kicking my seat?!"
   "Sorry, dad. I am just so so so so so so so so excited!"
   "I know Sabrina, but there is no point in kicking my seat!"
   We reached a sudden stop. Our mom pulled up to the grocery store we would stop in almost every day called One Stop Grocery Shop.
   "Mom, do we really need ice cream that bad? I'm on a diet back here!" Kianna fussed.
   "No, we are not getting ice cream. Just follow me," our mother demanded.
    We hopped out of our tan car and swam in. We walked all the way to the back of the store and pushed through a door that said, "do not enter." When we were in the room there was a tall man with jet black hair stopped us at the door. My mother said, "Nio" to the man and he let us through.
    We swam to the storage room and in the room there were to doors. The one we just came through and another door in front of them. We swam through the door in front of we and entered a beautiful land called Eranado. We swam down 6th street and took a left on to Nio Way. Mer maids dressed in robes and cloaks swam around us. I bet Kianna felt like a sore thumb walking around in Eranado. We came to a shop called Library and Bookstore of Eranado.
   When we walked through the doors thousands of books surrounded us. The shelves were sorted from first term all the way down to ninth term. We walked down the first term shelves. We found our selves face to face with the owner of the library. She spoke with an accent and spoke very quickly.
   "Hi welcome to Library and Bookstore of Ernado. Can I help you find anything? Are these your kids? What year?" The lady was so nosy in our business Mr. and Mrs. Caro debated whether to ask for help or not.
   "We are looking for two bo-" Mr. Caro started.
   "Which ones because I swear we have every book from a-z," the lady's big black curls bounced on her head rapidly.
    "Trident and Wand Handling' and 'Coral Academy from the Start," Mr. Caro said.
     The lady scanned the shelf real quick. She picked up a book, looked at it, and put it back. She did this about five times before finding both of the right books. She took Wand and Trident Handling to the counter along with Coral Academy from the Start. She rang up both books.
   "Okay, your total comes to 12.50 in Ernds," The lady said. Her name tag read Pam.
   "Thank you, Pam," I said.
   "Come back soon!" Pam said.
   "We'll be back next year," I said.
   We left that store quickly.  After taking a left, they we were facing a nother store called Wand Central. We stepped in side and looked around. There were people sitting down in the waiting chairs. After about 20 minutes of sitting in the waiting chairs, a guy behind the desk politely said, "Hello! Welcome to Wand Central. Who needs a wand?"
   "Well, Sabrina here is going into her first term and needs one," Mrs. Caro said.
   "Nice! When the term starts up I will be going to my ninth and final term. I only work here in the summer. My dad owns this place," Nick, as his name tag read said, "what about the other one?"
   "Nope. She is like her father. Born and raised mer maid," Mr. Caro said.
   Kianna lowered her head when her father spoke of her not needing a wand because of her being a pure mermaid.
   "Okay should we start?" Nick asked.
   I nodded and Nick disappeared to the back of Wand Central.
   "Here is a 7 inch Spike with unicorn blood and its navy blue," Nick described.
   I gave a flick of the wand and nothing happened. I flicked it around again, and nothing happened. But when I flicked it around for third time a silver light shot out of the seven inch spike wands that were in a pile blew up.
   "Okay maybe not that one..." Nick said calmly.
   "Sorry about that," I said.
   "No your fine," Nick said.
    Nick boxed the 7 inch spike and pulled out another wand.
    "Okay this is a 5 inch Velvet with Phoenix feathers and its lime green," Nick said.
     I took that one from his hands and pulled it out of the plastic, maroon box it was in. I gave it a first flick, nothing. A next flick, still nothing. The next time I did, it took the blown up boxes, revived them and stacked them neatly.
   "Okay your new wand is a lime green 5 inch Velvet with Phoenix feathers," Nick said, "Also you successfully completed a Revive Charm which someone will need to know how to use when I destroy them!"
    "Whoa, Nick calm down!" I exclaimed.
    Nick rang up the wand.
    "Okay your total comes to $27.89," Nick said.
    Mr. Caro paid in Xylas (same currency as a regular American $10 dollar bill.) Nick excepted the money graciously but said, "Sabrina your cool I am going to give your family a ten Xyla discount!"
   Nick handed back two Ernds (same currency as a regular American $5 bill.)
   "Thank you!" Mr. Caro said.
   Nick nodded and said,"See ya at school, Sabrina!"
   I looked back at Nick while he walked in to the back room. He peeled some thing off his face. A mask maybe? I was curious about this.

   After we bought me trident, we started to head home. We walked out of Nio Way's secret passage in the grocery store. Now, we were just in the back of the store by the dairy products. When we got home we all fell in to a deep sleep. Except Me and Kianna.
   "Did you see how Nick pulled that thing off his face?" Kianna asked.
   "Yeah, I don't think he is a ninth year either. That would be a 19 year old. " I said.
   "He looked in his 30's," Kianna said.
    "I will give you the report when I go to school,"  I slickly said.
    "Thanks," Kianna started, "I will keep visiting Nio Way."
    After their conversation was over, we both fell in to a deep sleep.
