March 14, 1956
Grouseville England

I woke up to the sound of a bell. Miss Thrush was calling for breakfast. I got up and slipped on my checkered yellow sundress. I brushed my caramel hair out until it was silky smooth and put a headband into it. I opened the door when Ezra ran past me.

"Ezra!" I yelled angrily

"Sorry!" He yelled back

I rolled my eyes and walked downstairs. I sat in a seat next to Elena and Preston. Bridget came out carrying the plates using telekinesis. Evelyn grabs a plate from midair and gobbles down the croissant with her sharp teeth.

"Evelyn!" Miss Thrush scolds

"Sorry Miss." Evelyn says blushing

      Miss Nightjar walks in and Bridget sets all the plates in front of us(Except for Evelyn of course).
I eat my chocolate croissant as fast as I can without getting scolded. I finished in no time. But, I had to wait for everyone to finish. Naomi took 3o minutes to finish her breakfast! 30! Finally she finished and we all ran outside.

"Octavia!" Miss Nightjar yelled "It's training day!"

        I groaned and walked back inside. Miss Nightjar smiled and led me through the house and to the back door.

"Octavia, you will learn to turn into a bird" Miss Thrush says

"How?" I asked

"Imagine a bird." Miss Nightjar said

"Any.?" I questioned

She nodded

Thinking of a random bird I was on the ground in a whirl of white and black.

"A crossbill!" Miss Thrush said in surprise

  Miss Nightjar called the children around.

"This, is Miss Octavia Crossbill"
