A mysterious parcel was delivered in George's front door at midnight.

George: What the? What's this? Why a parcel in the middle of the night? Might need to take this up in my room.

George went back to his room and opened the parcel. He was amazed with the content. That's when he first noticed the acceptance letter.

“Dear George Davidson,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Freole Academy. As you happen to be in the Human World, we have to tell you that you were a Human-born Spirit. All necessary books and equipment are in this parcel.

Term begins on the 1st of September 2020 (or 2000 in the Human world). Please get your train tickets from London King’s Cross Station no later than the 31st of July.

Yours sincerely,

Vikram Singh Barn,

Headmaster”

George: What the? My parents must be keeping secrets from me.

The next morning, George didn't bother to change out of his pyjamas and he went downstairs to grab his cereal. His parents went downstairs to inform him of work and stuff.

George's mum: Hi George, aren't you supposed to be going to school?

George: I have a question. Am I a Human-born Spirit?

George's dad: It's time we tell him.

George's mum: Yes, you are. Your grandparents, my parents, who are deceased now moved to the Human world many years ago due to the Spiritual war. That's how we ended up here.

George's dad: I hope this won't change now that you realised you're a Human-born Spirit.

George: I better head to school and then to Wilbur's house later.

After school, George went to Wilbur's house but Wilbur isn't there. So he called him on his Nokia cellphone.

George: Hi Wilbur, where are you? Your parents said you're not home,

Wilbur: I'm at Tommy's house.

George: He got sick again, didn't he?

Wilbur: Yeah.

George: I'm coming over.

George then walked to Tommy's house where Wilbur is in Tommy's room. Tommy is lying on his bed on oxygen looking really under the weather.

George: What is it this time?

Wilbur: Pneumonia.

George: When will it be the last time he'll have pneumonia?

Wilbur: No idea, his low blood pressure is also making him sicker. Not to mention, he gets this every year.

George: Kind of wished it'd stop.

Wilbur: So, what is it about?

George: The parcel.

Wilbur: Erm... Tommy, stay in bed, alright? George and I will talk downstairs.

Tommy: Alright. (coughs)

Tommy and Wilbur went downstairs and talked to each other.

Wilbur: What is it?

George: Okay, so I just turned 16 today and there's this parcel that popped out in the middle of the night. And there's this acceptance letter of some sort of academy and some weird gadgets and school supplies.

Wilbur: Well my friend, you are going to attend Freole Academy.

George: What's that?

Wilbur: An elite school for Spirits like us, including Human-born Spirits.

George: No.

Wilbur: Sorry, but that's true. Don't worry, I'll help you once we attend the school.

George: Promise?

Wilbur: Promise.

The next morning, Luke went downstairs to see his parents greeting him.

Luke's mum and dad: Happy birthday.

Luke: Thanks guys, I gotta go to school now.

Luke's mum: What's the rush?

Luke's dad: Son, what's the matter?

Luke: Okay, a package managed to appear in our front door for some reason, I dunno.

Luke's dad: Son, you're a Spirit.

Luke: What do you mean?'

Luke's mum: Your ancestors from generations ago were Spirits. Generations later, you became one.

Luke: Why didn't you tell me?

Luke's dad: Because we need to wait for the right time.

A mysterious package was delivered in Darryl's front door at midnight.

Darryl: What's this? A package? How did it come all the way from the UK?

Darryl went up to his room and then opened the package. Inside, there's an acceptance letter and some strange equipment.

Darryl: But that's 3 months by now.

The next morning, Darryl went downstairs to see his parents greet him happy birthday.

Darryl's mum and dad: Happy birthday.

Darryl: Mum, dad, a package was in our front door last night and it was for me.

Darryl's mum: That's because you were a Human-born Spirit. Your Spiritual ancestors immigrated here during the war.

Darryl: Really? God.

Darryl's dad: I know it'll come to you as a shock but now you know. We just wanted to tell you at the right time. 16 is coming of age for us anyway.

Darryl's mum: Yeah.

Darryl: Lemme head to Luke's house.

Darryl walked towards his friend, Luke's house.

Luke: Oh hey Darryl, what are you doing this fine day.

Darryl: I have something to tell you.

Luke: Sure, get in.

Darryl went inside Luke's room and now, the 2 boys are hanging out in his room.

Luke: So, what's up?

Darryl: I got a package and learned that I was a Human-born Spirit.

Luke: Woah what? I mean, you just turned 16 today so that makes sense but I didn't know you were one too.

Darryl: You're a Spirit too?

Luke: Yeah. And I'll help you throughout your stay.

Darryl: Okay.

Sam's dad: That's where your ancestors from many years ago came from. You really were a Human-born. After many generations.
