Roland Croisseux's Story

During the course of the class period, Laney and Gregory walked around, helping the students who seemed to really struggle with the steps. "Okay, that's it for today. Tomorrow we will be going over what was taught today for the Waltz. We have about another week of this for leaning the Waltz. Tricks and all." Laney said walking to the middle of the room, as Gregory went and turned off the music. Then a loud bell rang throughout the room. "Alright everyone, that's the bell. See you all tomorrow."

Katherine Prescott and Roland Croisseux

Katherine was still sitting down next to her bag, drinking her water, when Roland walked up to her. "Hey Katherine" His backpack was resting on his right shoulder as he towered over the petite mistress. "It was nice meeting you, maybe tomorrow we could be dance partners again." He smiled, loosening his black tie, having his vest already unbuttoned.

Kat had to look up when Roland stood beside her. "It was nice meeting you too." She said, lightly smiling back. "Partners, tomorrow? Umm, I don't know. I'll think about it." Standing up and put her water bottle in her bag and walked off, over to Daileass.

With a quiet sigh, Ro went to get Camryn. As he passed her, he tapped her on the shoulder and said "Let's go" before heading out the door.

~~~~

Camryn Shaffer

Camryn and Luthais had stopped dancing when Gregory turned off the music. Roland tapped her shoulder, she quickly turned around, simply saying "Okay." She went over to where she put her bag, picking it up, then quickly followed after her master. "Ro wait up!" She called out, trying not to trip over her heels.

~~~~

Sasha Pavlichenko

Sasha had her camera on the desk, playing with the settings. There was time throughout the class where students had time to talk with other kids in the class, but the girl chose to study her camera and eat a bag of Bugles. Once the bell rang, she closed everything up and grabbed her bag. She didn't take anything out, so that made her one of the first to leave the class room. She didn't have tome to put her camera away, so she just went straight into the Academy's main building. Going up the stairs to the third floor, she entered room 306, and took a seat by the window.

Daileass Taveon

When hearing the teacher Dail stopped dancing, turning his attention towards the direction of the voice that spoke. After realizing the class had ended he then looked to Asami, smiling softly down towards the girl before taking a step back slightly. “It was very nice dancing with you,” He said quietly. “Maybe in tomorrows class we could… dance again, together?” The boy sheepishly asked, feeling a little embarrassed at that moment, briefly. His momentarily awkwardness faded when seeing his mistress approaching.

“Oh, Katherine.” Dail mumbled whilst turning to face the other girl. “Did you enjoy the class? I couldn’t help but notice your charming dance partner over there, whoever he was. Dare I say, another admirer?” The blonde boy sighed playfully, teasing his smaller mistress. “Just kiddin’.”

Remembering that the class was over just then, Dail thought to himself for a moment. “Oh yeah, our next class. Art, right?” He asked Katherine.
________

Ackley Bee

As the bell rang all of the Photography students stopped what they were doing, the teacher quickly gathering up pieces of paper before motioning for the students to leave. Ackley had already packed away his things and was one of the first few to head out of the room and venture off down the hall. If correct, he was sure his next class was Architectural Design. With a slight nod to himself the boy weaved in and out of the passing students as he made his way to his next class, wherever it was.

Eliab nodded while walking over to his backpack. "Nice meetin' you, too, Sasha." As he picked up his bag, he saw Roland and Katherine talking to each other, again. The tall boy offered Kat another day as dance partners, which made him clench his fist for a brief moment. Thankfully, she did not accept right away, so that left him an opportunity to ask her for a chance at being partners tomorrow. There will be plenty of chances during the year. Stay calm. the moment she walked over to Dail was the moment he knew it was safe.

The yankie walked on over to the two and said, "Pardon me if I'm intruding on something. Charles is not exactly here, so... anyway..." He turned his calm gaze to Kat. "Dance class was kind of interesting, today, don't you think? By the way, is there a chance we could be dance partners, tomorrow?"

-----

Charles headed towards the classroom for Landscape Management/Horticulture Technology without any stalling. Instead of looking forward to it, though, his face displayed every sign of disappointment and gloominess. The reason? It was rather simple: his relationship with Anna-Beth was cut short due to her and her twin brother, Andrew, having to move back to Germany. It didn't even last twenty-four hours... The half-Scotch boy just sat at his desk, his head down, not even bothering to keep his eyes looking forward. People could see his face, yet the eyes were glancing downwards.

Katherine Prescott

Katherine thought for a second about what class they had next. "Um, yeah I do believe we have art next." She smiled at Daileass as she adjusted the strap of her bag on her left shoulder, to make it more comfortable.

The petite mistress gave her eyes a slight roll before answering. "No, he is not another admirer, his name's Roland." She told Dail, putting her right hand on her hip. "And yes, I did enjoy the class, though I don't think was good at the Waltz. What about you?"

Kat turned her attention to Eliab, who had walked over to them, when he spoke. "Ah yes, it was an interesting class today. But, I didn't do very well...Since I kept tripping over my partner's feet, not to mention my own." A small sigh escaped as her cheeks flushed a little in slight embarrassment. "Dance partners? Uh, sure. Roland had asked the same thing, but I'll just tell him I'm going to be partnered with someone else next time I see him. Plus, it was a bit awkward dancing with him, after all, he was a lot taller than me."

The brown haired girl turned to her butler, while she checked the time on her phone. "Oh, we should get going. Our next class will be starting soon." She said, putting her phone back into her bag. "Well, see you guys later!" With a smile to Eliab and Asami, Katherine headed towards the exit, Daileass following behind.

Roland Croisseux and Giovanni Napoli

Roland had been in basketball practice for half an hour. While most of the teammates were practicing passes and free throws, he and is Italian friend, Giovanni, were doing a one on one match against each other. Once it was time to leave, the two friends headed off into the locker room to grab their things. Then they went back to the dorms to take a shower.

After feeling refreshed and clean, Roland ignored his homework and instead he went and “borrowed” his dad’s car, a 1969 ZL1 Camaro. He drove out of the Academy’s front gate and into the city of London.

~~~~

Camryn Shaffer

After a half hour of cheer leading practice, Camryn went back to her dorm room to take a shower and change. She really didn’t like cheer-leading, but Roland wanted her to do it since he was the “all-star” basketball player at the Academy, plus her master. Once she showered and a change of a new set of clothes were taken care of, she got started on the small amount homework, knowing Roland wasn't going to do his and take hers before class began to copy it.

~~~~

Sasha Pavlichenko

After her Photography class, Sasha went back to her dorm to compete the little homework she had. “I need to find a master, or mistress, I was going to ask that one girl. What was her name? Oh yeah Asami, but it seemed like she went back home. I think she couldn’t handle everything yet because of her health problems. She thought out loud, leaning back in her desk chair.

~~~~

Katherine Prescott

Katherine opened her eyes, hearing a boy’s voice complimenting her on how she played. When she turned around on the seat, Eliab was sitting down a bit away, with a guitar next to him. “Oh, thank you.” She smiled, a little blush from the applause fazed onto her cheeks. She got up and walked over to Eliab, taking the empty seat that was next to him. “You like the guitar, right?” She said, glancing down at the guitar.

Weather: Morning chill
Events of the Day: No school

7:30 AM. The announcement bell sounds. A sweet melodic, four note ring.

"Good morning staff and students of Masuta Academy! This is your Headmaster, Léon Croisseux, speaking. It is the seventh day of September, only the third day of school, but it is a Friday and being so we have a special gift for you! School will be closed today, but you are more than welcome to roam around the school, maybe even get out and roam the beautiful London city. If you have any questions, just head up to the office or ask a staff member near by. Bundle up on your day off because it is a bit chilly out right now. Later on today it will be nice, sunny, and quite warm outside. That is all. Thank you!"

---

Katherine Prescott

Katherine, thinking there was school today, was already up and ready to go. She was dressed in a more casual outfit than usual. After hearing the announcement, she let out a slightly annoyed sigh. "I could have slept in..." Rolling her eyes, she decided to go get some breakfast in the cafeteria then maybe wander around the school a bit more. She grabbed her small purse that included her medicine, wallet, and dorm room key. Leaving her dorm, she locked the door behind her. Once out of the dormitory, Kat headed to the cafeteria, thinking about what she should get to eat when she entered.

---

Sasha Pavlichenko

Sasha was in the shower by the time the announcement went off. A quiet squeal escaped her once she got out. "Yes! No school today! Now I don't have to worry about rushing to do that homework I didn't work on last night!" She got dressed then headed out her dorm to grabbed some breakfast in the cafeteria. It only took her less than five minutes to walk there and she was already standing in line to get food.

---

Roland Croisseux

Roland, being out all night long with Giovanni, had slept through his father's 'no school' announcement, though he probably wouldn't have gone to school anyways. He got wasted at a party in London last night and when he got back, he just passed out on his bed right around 3 in the morning and Giovanni passed out on the couch in Ro's room.

---

Camryn Shaffer

Camryn was already in the cafeteria eating breakfast when the announcement went. She knew that there was going to be no school, so she got up early to go see some family members who are in London visiting from Australia. She was wearing a casual outfit and almost done eating when Katherine walked into the cafeteria and Sasha got into the line.

Eliab heard the announcement about there not being school that day. He did not expect a day off so soon. Of course, that was because he and his sister, Rebecca, were new to this Academy, only truly being in Masuta Academy because of their scholarships, Eliab's a Horticulture Shcolarship, Rebecca's a Gymnastics Scholarship. They did not even expect those scholarships due to only being in Britain for a few weeks. Maybe it was because their parents sent in the information about them from previous school years back in the Southern United States, specifically Knoxville, Tennessee. Regardless of the circumstances, they were here, and that was all that mattered.

Of course, Eliab was relieved at being in England, to an extent. Sure, he might not see many of his friends in person again, yet it was a step up from being harassed, or worse than that, by the Klu Klux Klan, whom were against immigrants and people of even partial Semitic blood. Rebecca was just glad there was one less thing to make him worry about her too much, especially since the last time she was seriously harmed resulted in him going berserk as he sought revenge, which ended up with him terribly beaten up, as well. It was only because of the peaceful intervention on the part of their best friend, David, that Eliab was alive to this day.

That aside, the realization of the day off gave Eliab a small grin. This meant more opportunities to spend time with Katherine, whom he had a secret crush on, which only his sister and a new friend he made, a half-Scotsman named Charles, knew about. From the conversations Eliab and Kat had, he considered her not only beautiful, but also smart and sweet. He thought upon what happened yesterday, when she taught him a jazz song on piano that he managed to get right after a few tries on each part that was practiced. He thought back on when she enthusiastically hugged him, the moment he thought his secret would be given away by his blush that day, yet miraculously was not the case. Come to think of it, she blushed as well, and reacted in a shy manner to the realization of what she did. He wondered if she had feelings for him, yet quickly dismissed that possibility, she did reject him the last time he admitted his own feelings (that scenario was more or less where he made a fool of himself with how frantic he was at not being able to say it as easily as he practiced). Eventually, he will try again, and this time, he would be more ready to.

Eliab and his sister made their way to the line, where Eliab picked up and paid for his crepes filled with yogurt and fruit, while Rebecca got a stack of four blueberry waffles with raspberry syrup. Both of them also picked up some chocolate soymilk and tangerine juice. After paying for the food and sitting at a table, Eliab and Rebecca noticed Katherine coming in. Seeing her put a gentle grin on the boy's face just thinking of her. He quickly recovered and continued eating. Rebecca, on the other hand, smirked at her older brother for a moment before going back to eating her own breakfast.

-----

Agatha already ate her breakfast and was off to the gardens. They were one of few places where she could go and be herself. It gave her a sense of calm, a bit of serenity. She adored the flowers that were there, which reminded her of home.

Katherine Prescott

Katherine went through the food line and got her usual breakfast; a bowl of fresh fruit, French toast, and apple juice. Once paid for, she looked around the cafeteria for a place to sit. Not many students were there, but it didn’t take long to spot Rebecca and Eliab. With a smile, she brought her food and herself over to the table they were sitting at. “Mind if I join you guys?” She asked politely before taking a seat when they said it was fine. “You guys have any plans for the day? After all, no school.” She took a bite out of her fruit bowl, while looking at the two siblings.

---

Sasha Pavlichenko

Sasha grabbed her breakfast, chocolate chip pancakes and orange juice, then left the cafeteria after paying. She had decided to eat outside as it seemed like a beautiful day to due so.

---

Camryn Shaffer and Roland Croisseux

Once Camryn finished eating, she looked around the cafeteria. No sign of Roland anywhere. "Did that idiot go out and get drunk again?" She asked herself with a sigh. "He must have known there wasn't going to be school today..." She cleaned up her trash then headed out to the Boy's Dormitory to wake Roland's sorry ass up. It didn't take long to get to his room. First she knocked a few times, to be polite and all. But after 5 minutes of no one answering, she pulled out an extra dorm key and unlocked the door. When Cam opened the door, she found Giovanni completely out on the couch and, a few steps passed him was Roland out on his bed. "Hey it's time to get up..." She said as she gently shook him. "Lazy ass, get up!" This time, she shoved him off the bed, causing him to jolt awake.

"The hell! What was that for!" Roland shouted, sitting up to look at Camryn. He looked at the time and scowled. “It’s only 9…So why do I have to be up? Don’t you have to go somewhere today…” Standing, he stretched his arms, defining the muscles on his back since he wasn’t wearing a shirt.

“You said you’d take me to the hotel my family staying at…Remember! Now get Giovanni up and tell him to go back to his room. Be ready in half an hour or I’m going to take your keys and leave in your car. Hopefully I won’t crash it as I have no driving experience what-so-ever.” Camryn started walking towards the door, but snatched Roland’s car keys before leaving.

((Wrong placed...))

((Oh I don't mind you binging in another. It's really all up to you. And don't worry about Caged, I've Pmed everyone like 50 times and no one has really responded. I'm thinking of jet letting it die and maybe try to remake it in the future. Oh and truthfully, I can't remember why I had Kat say "Oh! Speaking of family…" then go quiet XD So, I yeah…))

Katherine Prescott

As the poet finished, Katherine turned her attention back to the two siblings. "Well, since we're done eating, do you guys want to leave or stay and listen to some more poems?" She asked the two, not really caring what they did next. She checked her phone for what time it was, only being four in the afternoon. Thinking to herself, she needed to be back at the Academy at six. So that gives her about two more hours to kill. Looking back to Eliab and Rebecca, she waited for their suggestion.

---

Sasha Pavlichenko

Once outside in front of the Academy, it was only a minute until the cab got there. Sasha got in after Agatha, slightly watching Charles as he got in. The girl felt bad that he twisted his ankle, but it's better than having it broken.

"To Catanzaro Gardens, please." Sasha told the driver. Catanzaro was a little fancy Italian restaurant near the London Eye. Even though it's not a large restaurant, it had the best authentic Italian food in London.

It only took the cab fifteenth minutes to get there. When the three got out of the cab, Sasha was the first inside and got them a table to sit at. Inside, was fairly loud up-beat Italian music and a beautiful Italian decor. The girl took a seat and waited for the other two.

For some reason she seemed a bit more energetic then usual. As she went into the restaurant pretty quickly and got a table an sat down right away. She might of moved a bit too quickly, as she forgot to pay the cab driver and left Charles and Agatha a bit behind.

---

Roland Croisseux

Roland and Giovanni seemed to be at the same restaurant as Agatha, Charles, and Sasha. Though they were seated at the bar having a few drinks. They seemed to be even louder than the Italian music over at the bar.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ro caught a glimpse at a pink haired girl. When he moved his attention to her, she was only sitting about 5 tables away from the bar.

"Hey, I think she go to our school." Gio said, looking to where his best friend was staring at. "Huh, she seems pretty cute." He laughed, nudging Roland in the arm.

Roland laughed at this, slapping Giovanni on the back. "Come on now." He got up from his seat and walked over to the girl, Gio following after him. "My, my. What is a pretty thing like you doing here all alone?" He asked and continued to flirt with her.

The girl looked to him, her energetic vibe lessening. She could already tell the two guys were drunk, one which was hitting on her. She decided to answer, hoping they'd leave her alone. "I'm not alone, I have two friends coming in right not." Seeing her two friends enter the restaurant. Which she was relieved of.

Eliab' response was, "I say we leave and walk around some. Maybe see the sites." Eliab was ready to go if Kat was, as was Rebecca.

While walking with Katherine, Eliab noticed a French bulldog heading their way. Of course, this dog was walking with a person, so this was no stray. The French bulldog walked right up to the Yankee with the bug-eyes looking up at him. Eliab laughed, then gave the puppy a rub on the head, chin, and belly.

Rebecca, meanwhile, laughed a little. "Eliab's an animal whisperer, I swear!"

Eliab looked up with a smirk. "Your point is, Rebecca?"

"Nothing. It's just funny."

The boy shrugged before his soft smile returned. Soon enough, he was back to walking with Katherine and Rebecca. "Any particular site you wanted to see, Kat?"

----

Charles chuckled at Sasha's eagerness before paying for the ride. Agatha giggled a bit, herself. The mood changed once they both entered the restaurant and saw Sasha in the company of two drunk boys, one of which was familiar, somehow. Charles, using his crutches, went up to them and poked Roland with one of them.

The red-head smirked a little while doing so, though you could tell he was a bit angry. "Yo, Ro! Methinks you're drunk and acting like a bloody idiot! Why don't you go somewhere you can't bother us? Like, say, to sleep all the alcohol off? Don't get me wrong: I do enjoy an occasional drink, but I don't overdo it like you do!" Another poke, and he said, "Get lost!"

Agatha, whom sat down next to Sasha, shrugged while saying in Italian, "Sorta di mi ricorda di notti ad Atene." Sort of reminds me of nights in Athens.

---
((Akira's face claim is Yzak, from Gundam SEED/SEED Destiny))

Akira was just walking by the hotel when he saw Cameryn coming out of it. He did like how smart and observant she is. Only problem is, she may find out too soon about his crush on her. On top of that, she was a year above him in school, which added a bit of pressure. However, none of that showed.

Politely as only a Japanese individual (like himself) would, he bowed his head and said, "Konnichiwa, Cameryn-senpai."

Katherine Prescott

Placing some money on the table, Katherine along with Eliab and Rebecca got up and left the little poetry pub. As they were walking down the street, Kat was thinking about what they could go see. "Let's see now…." She muttered to herself, slightly looking up to the sky. She almost continued walking on without noticing that the Othniel siblings had stopped. It wasn't until she heard the two laugh, that she noticed they were petting a French bulldog, or at least Eliab was.

Kat went back over to the two. She gave a little chuckle hearing Rebecca say that her brother was an animal whisperer. "That's quite a talent. Tell me. Do the animals whisper back?" She joked, as they started walking down the street again.

When he inquired any particular thing she wanted to see, Katherine shook her head. "No, not really. I mean, of course I want to see like everything. But I just don't know what." She said, her Finish accent coming through. She was now listing places off in her head. There's Big Ben, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace. "Tar…Traf..lgar…Trafalagar…Square…" She murmured, trying to pronounce the place. Tower Bridge, Hyde Park "No it's too late for a park…"

With a sigh, Kat hung her head in defeat. "I have no idea…I chose the poetry pub place. You guys decided where to go next." She lifted her head to look at the two.

---

Roland Croisseux and Giovanni Napoli

Roland cracked his neck, something out of habit, before looking at Charles. "I always act like a bloody idiot!" He joked, placing his left foot on one of the empty chairs and his left elbow on top of his knee, while resting his chin in the palm of him left hand. His right hand was on his hip, as he glared down at the red-haired boy.

"Listen. I don't take orders form an underclassman. Ya'got that!" Ro scowled, as he was poked again with the crutches. "Look here you…" He ceased ahold of the crutch, but Giovanni was quickly able to take it away from him.

"You did have a bit more drinks than you said." Gio lightly said, his hand on Roland's shoulder. "Ro, come on. Let's just go." He handed Charles the crutch back.

With a 'tsk' from Roland and a jerk of the head, he removed his foot from the chair and turn to leave with Giovanni. A sigh of slight relief escaped Gio as they left, since he was able to prevent a fight that would of ended badly for Charles.

---

Sasha Pavlichenko

"I'm glad there was no fight…" Sasha said, as Charles took the other empty seat. "I mean, don't get me wrong you look like you could take him. But having crutches right now, would of put you at a slight disadvantage." She told him, with a shrug.

After the sour mood lifted, Sasha smiled scanning the menu. "What to eat, what to eat…" She was looking at two items: the Herb Spaetzle and the Chestnut Pasta. Not knowing which to get.

---

Camryn Shaffer

Thankfully Roland did as he was told in the morning. He dropped Camryn off at the hotel her family was staying at, only to drive back to the Academy to pick up Giovanni and go out drinking again. Sometimes Cam wondered why she put up with his crap.

Cam had spent the past five and a half hours with her family, catching up and whatnot. She said her goodbyes and made note to stop by next weekend for her mother's birthday.

Leaving the hotel, Camryn had to pause, as a not-so-familiar boy bowed his head in front of her and said "Konnichiwa, Camryn-senpai."

Cam knew little Japanese, but she knew 'Konnichiwa' meant 'Hello'. "Ah, hello to you too." She smiled, though feeling a bit bad she didn't know the boy's name. "I'm sorry, but what's your name?"

---

Léon Croisseux

Léon was working in his office, or at least was suppose to be working in he office. Instead, the Headmaster was out tending to his privet garden in the greenhouse. There were piles upon piles of unread and untouched paperwork scattered across his whole office space. Most likely, you couldn't even see the floor because of all the papers and books laying around.

Léon knew he had to get the preparations ready for the Back-to-School dance that'll be held next Friday. But the lazy Headmaster felt no need to rush these things. As he would rather spend time in his garden than anything else.

Eliab Looked at his watch and saw the time. "Well, since we don't have time for a park, we might as well head back to campus."

This gave Rebecca an idea. "And, why don't we head over to Eliab's dorm? We'll have time before curfew for something."

Eliab gave a questioning look towards his sister. "Hva er vinkel med dette?" What's your angle with this?

Rebecca smirked. "Ingenting. Det er bare du fikk noen hyggelig gizmoer som du brukte til å prank meg. Jeg er sikker på at hun ønsker å ta en titt." Nothing. It's just you got some nice gizmos that you used to prank me. I'm sure she'd like to take a look.

"Hva om ting du brukt på meg, da?" What about the stuff you used on me, then?

"Kanskje neste gang." Maybe next time.

Over at Eliab's dorm, Rebecca began showing Kat the different gadgets her brother used in pranks, much to Eliab's annoyance. He knew she was trying to help, yet he also realized she could take things a little too far, sometimes.

Rebecca brought out one of her favorites that was used on her. "This one just cracked me up when it activated! I stepped on the button without realizing it while practicing on my own for gymnastics, and down came these fake waffles from so many different directions, and afterwards came a recording being played. It was from a scene in an episode of Invader Zim!"

She brought out the recorder and played the exact thing she was talking about: Gir going, "Guess who made waffles?"

Eliab could not help but laugh along with Rebecca, then say, "Kind of funny you thought it was hilarious, considering how dedicated a gymnast you are."

---

Charles grit his teeth at how Roland was about to fight him in a restaurant, of all places, let alone while the half-Scotsman was in no condition for such a confrontation. Not only that, but taking someone's crutch away? That was low, and it seemed to have sealed Charles' dislike towards the person. It was great that Giovanni was there to intervene, which meant at least one of the two he could trust.

Agatha, though, at the moment of seeing a near-confrontation, froze stiffly as she heard the voices of hatred in Athens, all over again in her mind. The particular memory was of when her grandfather on her mother's side, whom was still alive, pointed his cane at one of the anti-Turk advocates with an explanation of how Jesus demanded love even for enemies, only to have his cane snatched from him and nearly used to smack him upside the head while being branded a traitor. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, that day, but it caused quite a riot in town due to people being outraged at the idea of attacking an elderly person. The poor Grecian young woman only got out of her day-nightmare when Charles poked her in the shoulder before sitting next to Sasha.

When Charles looked at the menu, he spotted a particular type of wine on the menu (which is a bit on the sweet side and semi-sparkling). "Ah, so they have Moscato here, eh? One won't hurt, and I'm not going to overdo it like that French idiot, whom was begging for trouble from both the owner of this place and the cops!"

Agatha interjected with, "You were kind of egging him on my poking him, though..."

"True. Well, anyway, let's forget about that." What am I saying? This will stay with me for a while.

Agatha went with a root beer (since she never got used to the alcohol in the wines she saw fellow Greeks drinking back in Athens), plus some Sorrentina. Charles, on the other hand, ordered a glass of Moscato and a plate of Piadina, which was basically Italian Flatbread, this one having Fontina and Prosciutto included on there, as well as tomato and basil, among other things. Charles used the time all three had to come up with wacky thing to talk about to make the ladies smile and possibly laugh, including a moment where someone misunderstood that he was referring to a baby bird when he said "chick".

"You should have seen the lad's when he realized what I actually meant! Absolutely priceless! That's the dumbing down of society for you!"

Agatha, after some hard laughing, nodded. "Without a shadow of doubt!"

Once everyone was finished, Charles paid for everyone's meals, pluss added the tip, and called for Kenneth (his uncle's chauffer), to pick them up. Once he hung up, he glanced over, with a mischievous smile, towards Sasha. "Don't have to worry about paying for a cab ride, this time."

Waiting along the curb, they spotted the limo, a slim man who appeared to be in his late thirties coming out of it to open the door for the trio. "You know the etiquette, sir."

Charles chuckled with eyes rolling, "Yeah, I know, Kenneth. It's not like I forget to use such manners or anything, but anyway..." The red-head stepped aside. "Ladies first."

Agatha decided to let Sasha go in first, stepping right behind her before Charles got in last. And, of course, what ride with Kenneth would not be complete without the two guys teasing each other along the way? Among other things teased about was how Charles's hair (which stopped at the shoulders) could possibly make people mistake him for a girl, which always brought laughs to both of them.

Charles shrugged. "It's always like this between Ken and I."

Akira placed a hand behind his neck in embarrassment. "Oh! Gomen'nasi! I forgot to introduce myself!" Looking back at Cameryn, he stated, "Well, anyway, my name is Akira Sasaki." He held his hands up in protest. "And no, the Vice Headmaster is my aunt, not my mother. I tend to get that a lot, so I'm just pointing it out so we're clear." Lowering his hands, he added, "Anyway, I think we have the same dance class, don't we? As well as a couple others before that?"

True to what his first name implies, Akira is indeed smart, which showed in his being in Trigonometry class with the girl. He was also in her Physics, Cooking, and Modern World Studies classes. Granted, Akira could cook, though he was not yet familiar with non-Asian dishes, having learned mainly how to cook Japanese meals before transferring to Masuta Academy. As for sports, he mainly played baseball (try-outs were next week).

Looking at his watch, he knew Aiko (his aunt) would arrive at the spot he was told to be at, soon. "Well, it's close to time, so you want to come along with me? Where she's picking me up is not far from here. It beats waiting for a cab, anyway, even if marginally." Facepalming himself, he gave an explanation. "A word of warning: Aunt Aiko finds it hard to resist whatever she finds cute. In that sense, she is pretty annoying."

---



Aiko winded up organizing Leon's papers all day, which was such a drag. She knew the headmaster slacked off, yet she never imagined he'd leave such a mess in his laziness. At this point, he definitely could not handle it all on his own. It was honestly rather fortunate thawt Aiko was organizing things for a student council of representatives from different clubs (teams counted as clubs, as well) meant for organizing events and such, which would alleviate some of the burden off Leon's shoulders, aside from finances, disciplinary action on troublemakers, scheduling, and some other stuff not covered by the student council, that is. She believed she finally had everything thought out, except for one thing: who to nominate as Student President, Student Vice President, Student Secretary, and Student Treasurer. She would work out the details, later. For now, at least, everything was organized.

Katherine Prescott

"Ah, alright. But I need to...go and do something at around 5. So, I'll be leaving then." Katherine informed the two.

On the way back to the Academy, Kat stared out the window of the cab. The Othniel siblings were talking about something to each other in Norwegian. She was too busy planning out things in her head than to pay attention to what they were saying.

At Eliab's dorm, Rebecca was showing the brunette all the different gadgets that Eliab had used in pranks on her. A few of the gizmos were quite interesting. Much more complex and well thought out that how she and her brothers pranked each other.

Rebecca looked like she really loved explaining what each of the machines did. In fact, it seemed like she was the only one talking. Eliab had commented now and then, but Rebecca was doing much of the talking. Not that Katherine minded, even though she felt comfortable around the two, she couldn't help but be her shy self and stay quiet. Only joining in slight conversation when she was addressed to.

When Rebecca brought out one of, what she called, her favorites; she seemed to enjoy telling what it did. Playing the little recording afterwards, the three started laughing.

Kat's phone buzzed in her pocket. She took it out and turned off the alarm. It was almost five. She got up from her place on the floor and put her phone back into her pocket. "Well, it looks like it's time for me to get going." Pausing to look at the two. "Thank you for having me over, Eliab." She smiled, giving her head a little bow, before she went out of the room.

The brunette was back in her own dorm, but only for a second. She already had everything she needed together, so all she had to do was grab her stuff and go.

Katherine was on her way to the lake in the forest, which almost surrounded the whole Academy. Her shoes lightly clicked along the wooden pathway. She glanced up at the sky and frowned a bit. "It better not rain..." Muttering to herself, as she reached the lake. Though it was only a thirty minute walk to get there, it took her almost an hour because of the stuff she had with her.

Kat had a case, almost the size of herself, and a backpack. She placed them down and opened the case, taking out a folded up easel. Setting up the easel, she also took out a small folding chair and a canvas. She put the canvas on the easel and the chair in front of it. Sitting down, she grabbed the backpack and unzipped it. Inside was an assortment of different colored paints and pastels, brushes and pencils.

"Alrighty, finally ready." She told herself, looking at the view in front of her. The sun was setting behind her, casting a cotton candy pink color across the sky. The moon rose up just above the trees that were behind the waterfall. It was a full moon, supposedly to be the closest to the Earth. There was no wind, but there were rain clouds coming in. "Better get started..." She mumbled, beginning her painting by sketching out the details of everything before it got dark.

---

Sasha Pavlichenko

Sasha decided to get the herb spaetzle with some water. She wasn't really a soda or wine person. So she usually got water or lemonade at restaurants. The food seemed to come in no time. As they ate, Charles talked about the most random of thing, causing the girls to laugh and smile.

When they were done, Charles was the one who paid for their meal, despite Sasha's plead to let her help pay. She wasn't use to letting others, mainly just non-family members, pay for things she got. For example, going out to eat. She would always either pay for her own food or pitch in some.

The three were now outside, waiting for their ride, which Charles had set up."Well than, that's the last time I'll ever handle the transportation when you're around, Charles." She smiled, chuckling lightly to herself.

Seeing the limo surprised Sasha. She kept forgetting that the Academy was mainly filled with rich students. Not that she really cared. She was the first to enter the limo, Agatha getting in after her, than Charles.

The ride back to the Academy was one filled with more laughter. Sasha had agreed with Kenneth on when looking at Charles from the back, he really did look like a girl.

---

Camryn Shaffer

Camryn let out a little laugh as the boy seemed to be a bit embarrassed. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Akira. I'm Camryn, but I guessed you already knew that." She smiled, as he told her that the Vice Headmaster, Aiko Sasaki, wasn't his mother but his aunt. "Ah, I was just about to ask that."

Thinking for a moment, Cam nodded her head. "Yeah, I think I've seen you in almost all my classes. Except for cheer. Unless you're a cheerleader disguised as a female, to avoid the embarrassment of being a male cheerleader." She laughed at that.

"Already?" Camryn questioned, as Akira inquired that it was almost curfew tome for the Academy. "I guess I could use a ride back. Roland's suppose to come and pick me up. But knowing him, he most likely got himself drunk off his ass somewhere." She sighed, shaking her head lightly.

The wait for the Vice Headmaster wasn't a long one. But before Aiko got there, Akira informed Cam that his aunt was very fond of cute things. "So, what I'm getting at is that you think I'm cute." She said, nonchalantly.

Once Aiko arrived, Camryn quietly got in the car. A minute or two after they started the ride back to the Academy, Cam looked over at Akira. "Hey Akira. This may sound like an odd request, but remember we have our cooking class test sometime next week. The one where we need to learn a new dish we've never done before on our own? You know how to cook Japanese style. Right? I was wondering if you'd like to help me out on a Japanese dish. In return, I can help you on an Australian dish."

---

Roland Croisseux

When Roland and Giovanni got back to Ro's. Gio decline Rolands offer to stay and hang out some more. Instead, Gio took his car keys and left the room.

He was now laying across he bed. He had papers scattered out all over. By the look of it, he seemed somewhat sober. He was copying down Camryn's notes and homework that his missed and didn't do. Music was blaring to keep the annoying sound of silence away.

Not so surprisingly, Roland finished copying Cam's stuff in no time. He was now left with nothing to do. So he decided to go practice in the gym until it was time for the Academy to locked. He quickly changed into his uniform, turned off his music and left.

After practicing alone for half an hour, Ro texted Giovanni to come and join him. As he was bored being alone.

---

Giovanni Napoli

After getting back to the Academy, Giovanni decided to take a shower. Once done, he went over to his desk and started on hie homework. He didn't have a lot to do, so he finished pretty fast. He received a text from Roland, telling him to change into uniform and go to the gym.

Having nothing else to do, Gio changed into his basketball uniform. He head over to the gym so he could practice a little with Roland. They couldn't stay long, as the school was going to close soon and curfew was just around the corner.

---

Léon Croisseux

It was almost time to close the front gates for the Academy. Well, there was still about two hours before he had to do so. Léon headed back to his office, locking up he private garden as he left.

Upon entering his office, Léon noticed it was slightly cleaner and organized than how he left it. "Hmp...Aiko must of came in here to get something, but ended up cleaning...As always." He took quick look around and frowned. "Now where did she move my coffee cup?"

The Headmaster searched his office trying to find his cup. The thought of Aiko might have taken the cup to wash it, didn't cross his mind. It was a light blue cup with a pink bunny print on it. How and why he has such a cup is a mystery to everyone.

((I'll have to separate this into two posts because my reply is so big.))

Rebecca went to the sports area and changed into her red leotard she always wore for practicing. After coming out, she gave a quick glance towards the basketball room and noticed two tall boys practicing basketball in there. She has seen the black-haired one flirt with other girls before, which was kind of funny to her since it told her the guy was not her type (if she even had one). After some personal practice in the gymnastics room, it eventually hit her that her brother was jogging within the forest, just off campus. With the weather that was forecasted on TV, Eliab could get wet. She thus went back to the girls' lockers and grabbed her stuff, only bothering to put some sports pants of hers over the lower portion of her leotard before she went outside.

Once outside the sports building, she put on her raincoat in case of rain, then made her way towards the forest in a hurry. Being a gymnast, her tremendous strength and endurance (for her age and size) enabled her to not tire out as easily as most of her peers. Why'd you pick this time, of all times, to go for that jog, big brother? Where did you head off to over there?

---

Speaking of whom, Eliab was already deep in the forest by the time the rain clouds came, which he noticed starting to form. Well, I guess I better get back to my dorm before it rains. Walking along the wooden pathway, he spotted someone in the distance. One push of his glasses closer to his eyes, and he was able to make out who it was. Why is Katherine laying down when there's an easel there she could be working some art on? It doesn't seem like her, to my knowledge. Oh, well. I better stick with her and make sure nobody takes advantage of her or anything else harmful like that. Out here, there isn't any surveillance, meaning things could go wrong if not careful.

Walking a little closer, he called out with a grin, "Katherine, I don't think that is the best of spots to be taking a nap! We need to get going, anyway; it will rain, soon!" No response. Not even the slightest bit of movement, as far as he could tell. Eliab's heart sank at the realization there was something terribly wrong with the situation. Inching closer while surveying his surroundings in case of a stalker, his anxiety built up. "K-Kat!? Y-You all right!?" Once he was close enough to see more clearly the brunette's condition, his eyes widened in shock.

---

Meanwhile, Charles opened the limo door for the Agatha and Sasha to come out. Agatha nodded with a small grin at how gentlemanly the boy could be. Now that the Grecian girl thought about it, that boy, clearly Italian by the accent, who kept a fight from breaking out earlier was sort of nice, too, even if he was drunk, at the time. Agatha saw plenty kinds of drunk during the wild nights in Athens, and she supposed the Italian boy's drunkenness was more a happy drunk than one which could induce violence. That thought brought her some relief. Granted, she would never drink, herself, for health reasons. However, maybe that person that was with Ro could at least become a good friend.

Charles walked with both Agatha and Sasha for a bit to be sure nobody hit on them or anything like that. If he knew one thing, it was that shallow guys often picked targets that were not already accompanied by other guys. He certainly did not want a repeat of what happened at the restaurant. Once at the front door to the girls' dorm, Charles stopped and grinned softly. "Well, lassies, looks like from here, you two should be okay. With rain coming soon, I think the lads would rather be in their own dorms. Besides, with it getting closer to curfew, well, you know. See you later."

Agatha waved lightly before glancing towards Sasha. "Well, this was an interesting day, was it not?" After waving to Sasha, she went to her own dorm, where she still had that bag from the candy store she and Andrew went to the evening they met via Anna-Beth. She doubted she would be throwing it away at any point, as it was a keepsake to her since her time with Andrew was so special. With homework completed early, the teenaged half-Greek girl took a shower before slipping into her pajamas for the night, which was simply a shirt which kept her hands out of sight and went halfway down to her thighs. Holding a stuffed kitty in her arms, she went to sleep.

((I'll wait on your post before mentioning the others. I tagged people without actually mentioning them in here, sorry. ^^; ))

Katherine Prescott

About half an hour later, Katherine had finished the pencil sketch of her drawing. Everything was sketched out with fairly good detail. It was getting darker quicker than she expected, probably because of the rain clouds. Letting out a sigh, was lucky enough to have taken pictures of the scenery with her phone before she started. "Guess I'll pack up." She got up, folded the chair, and put it back inside the case as well as the canvas. She just tossed her pencil and eraser in her backpack, zipping it up.

Taking a moment, Kat stretched her arms over her head and took a deep breath. But once she lowered her arms, she started getting light-headed. She placed her right hand on her forehead, the feeling of dizziness washing over her. "Crap..." She muttered, remembering that she had forgotten to take her medicine after eating. she felt as if her legs could no longer hold herself up. She laid her left hand down on the open easel to steady herself, though she missed and fell forward. She didn't have enough time to react, so she ended up falling on top of her left arm. She also got a small cut on the right side of her forehead. She stirred a tad, but her body felt to heavy to move.

----
Some time later there was a voice in the distance. It was muffled by the loud buzzing sound in Katherine's ear, yet somehow familiar. She wanted to look around, but everything was black. She tried to move or even speak, but she couldn't bring herself to do so. When Eliab reached Kat, she had passed out completely. A minute or two after being found, the rain clouds drew closer and darker. It began raining lightly, then started getting heavier.

---

Sasha Pavlichenko

After getting back to the Academy, Charles walked the girls the the dormitory. Sasha waved bye to him before turning towards Agatha. "Yes, a very interesting day indeed." She nodded, walking off in to the small kitchen on the first floor after Agatha left. She wasn't exactly hungry, but she wasn't tired either. She had no homework to do nor did she want to read. The girl was just bored out of her mind. She decided to look around and see what the kitchen had to offer her. Opening the freezer, she found a small tub of strawberry ice-cream. Smiling, she took out a bowl from one of the cabinets and filled it half way with ice-cream. Putting the tub back, she went up to her room.

Once in her dorm room Sasha plopped down on her bed and turned her TV on. She flipped through the channels trying to find something to watch. She ended up stopping on Supernatural. She finished her ice-cream in one episode. Getting up, she placed the bowl in her (bathroom) sink. Then she took a quick shower. When finished, she put on her pajamas, which were plaid green cotton pants and a regular black shirt. With the light off, she jumped on her bed and buried herself in the blankets.

---

Roland Croisseux and Giovanni Napoli

A good hour and a half later, the boys were sprawled on the floor. They were both all sweaty and breathing heavily. "Ah, might as well hit the hay...After another shower that is." Giovanni said, hulling himself up. Now in a sitting position, he looked to Roland and sighed. "You know, you're an awfully rude and flirtatious drunkard. You should probably try and fix that. Or not girl will stay with you for longer than a week."

Roland glared at his best friend. He rolled backwards then forwards to get himself to sit up. "Well excuse me for taking after my father." He rolled his eyes, slowly standing. "And hey! Last relationship I had was longer than a week!" He said, thinking back to it. "It was like...a month."

"More like half a month. Surprised she even stuck with you that long." Gio got up on his feet now. "Anyways, lets get going. I don't want the night guard to catch us again. The school year barely even started and we're already on the school's 'most wanted' list." He laughed, placing the towel he had around his neck.

"Alright, alright it was half a month. Whatever." Ro stood up, shaking his hair in the towel, then leaving it on top of his head. "Fine, let's get out of here."

The boys left the gym and went to their own rooms. After the two took a shower, they went to bed.

((Oh! I was thinking that since the pathway through the woods goes all the way around the lake, Rebecca could go the opposite way then what Eliab goes. That way when Eliab carries Katherine back to his dorm, Rebecca could stumble upon Kat's art supplies and bring them back to her own dorm. Just a thought, what do you think?))

Sasha Pavlichenko

Sasha hadn't woken up nearly as early as she wanted to. She had meant to wake up around five to go take pictures of the sun rise, but her alarm failed to go off at the right time. Instead it buzzed an hour later, making the girl very upset. "Tomorrow! I'll definitely go tomorrow!" She said with determination as she got dressed. She wore a simple outfit that consisted of faded black skinny jeans, a red plaid long-sleeved flannel (with the sleeves rolled up just below her elbows). Her hair was down, reaching to her waist, and was a bit curly as she had her hair in braids when she went to bed and just took them out.

The girl had no plans to do anything with her friends, so she looked about in her room trying to find an inspiration of sorts to give her an idea. Spotting her camera on the desk, she smiled. "Well, even though I can't get the sun rise, I could go and take some nature pictures in the garden. I did want to do that the first time, but I didn't have my camera than." Nodding with her decision, she grabbed her camera and left her dorm room, heading for the garden.

After about six pictures in, Sasha noticed something she thought was highly amusing. Charles was sound asleep sitting on one the the benches. Quietly getting closer, she drew her camera up and took a photo of a sleeping Charles. She let out a small giggle because of it. She had to admit he looked so peaceful like that. She almost didn't want to wake him, but she knew the sprinklers to water the plants would go off soon.

"Hey Charles." Sasha said, lightly poking his shoulder. "Hey sleepyhead, you outta wake up before the sprinklers com on. She informed him in a somewhat soothing voice. "You don't want to get soaked now, do ya?" Her Russian accent leaked through, as she continued to poke Charles's shoulder.

---

Giovanni Napoli

Giovanni got up early, as usual, though he decided not to go to morning practice. So he texted Roland that he won't be going. Instead he dressed in casual clothes; his favorite jeans (which had holes in the knees), a dark grey hoodie, and his green converse. Then he ran a brush through his hair and headed out to the cafeteria.

---

Roland Croisseux

The only reason Roland got up this morning was because he received a text from Giovanni, which said he was skipping practice, that woke him up. "Good, I didn't want to go anyways." He muttered, dragging himself out of bed since he was already awake. He got dressed with out any effort. Jeans, a plain v-neck shirt, a dull jacket zipped up less than half way, and shoes. He left his dorm room, not even bothering to comb his hair.

Ro arrived at the cafeteria shortly after Giovanni, who already had his breakfast and was sitting down at an empty table. Once Roland got his food, he also grabbed an extra cup of coffee, knowing Camryn will soon be coming to get some. They were almost out of coffee, so it was a good thing he took two before they ran out.

---

Camryn Shaffer

Getting up was probably the hardest and worse part of the day for Camryn. Heck, everyone hates getting up, but she really isn't a morning person. It took the girl an hour after waking up to finally crawl out of bed. She chose to not put much effort in her appearance, so she wore a blue tank top under a baggie navy blue hoodie (which in fact is Roland's), black sweatpants, and dark gray toms. She put her hair up in a messy bun, as she didn't want to brush it.

Going through the halls of the dormitory, she was greeted by a "Good morning." from Agatha. Camryn gave her and Vice Headmaster Aiko an emotionless look before saying "Whatever" and walking away. It wasn't her fault she seen rude to the Grecian girl, it was the mornings fault. Mornings always made her a bit too grumpy.

The pink-haired Australian scanned the dormitory's kitchen, but found barely anything to eat and no coffee. "To the cafeteria..." She mumbled, making her way to the cafeteria. If she didn't get her morning coffee fix soon, she'd be in a bad mood all day long.

Entering the cafeteria, Cam spotted Roland and Giovanni, which they waved her over. "Can I at least get some coffee first..." She growled, as she walked over to the table. "What?" She was glaring at Ro, who had a quirky smiles on.

"Here, I got you some nice hot coffee. Now what do we say?" Roland joked, holding up the coffee cup.

"Give. Me." Cam replied, snatching the cup from Roland and sitting down. She took her for first sip and instantly felt relaxed. "Ah! Much better~"

---

Léon Croisseux

Léon had been asleep in front of his desk. He was sitting on his leather chair and his arms were laying on the desk, his head resting on top of them. Surprisingly, the Headmaster as up all night trying to do some of the manys of paperwork he had. But he had quit doing it around two in the morning, as there was too much work he had to do that he couldn't handle. He was still wearing his clothes from the previous day.

---

Katherine Prescott

Katherine was fast asleep, dreaming away, when a piercing alarm sounded. This woke the girl up and the noise stopped. She rubbed her eyes before opening them, blinking a few times until her sight was adjusted to the light. She gently set herself up in the bed, since her body still ached. A wave of dizziness washed over her and she felt her cheeks flushed (and not the blushing kind), which stood out because of her pale (almost white) face.

Kat turned her head to the now awake boy in the chair, a bit surprised to see that her savior was Eliab. She could tell right away that he'd been crying for a while, despite the tears in his eyes now. His nose was a tad red, his eyes pink and puffy. He looked as if he was crying all night. She wanted to ask what was wrong, but he spoke first.

It took the brunette a minute to realize Eliab was speaking Norwegian and another two minutes to translate what he was saying. She whispered a "Good morning" and she slumped back to lean against the back of the bed. When he mentioned a cut on her forehead, she reached up and touched it, wincing as she did so. How bad did I look? How bad do I like now? She thought, seeing how scared he looked when he told her how he found her.

Katherine then noticed Eliab's hand held out to her. Suggesting that they should go to the infirmary. Hesitant at first, she took his hand, but lowered it onto her lap. "N-No, I'm fine. R-Really." She lied, truth is she felt like crap. Seeing the disbelieving look on Eliab's face, Kay tried to look okay, but failed. Signing, she said, "O-Okay, I'm not all that fine...But I don't want to go to the infirmary." His face now showed confusion, so she continued. "My parents told the Headmaster, Vice, and the nurses about my...condition. They said if I go to the infirmary for anything bad that happened to me, they would want to be informed right away..." Her slight grip on Eliab's hand tighten, but not much as she still felt weak. "If I go to the infirmary like this, they'd call and tell my parents...You would think it's no big deal, right? Wrong. When my parents find out, they'll come and take me home. They'll lecture me about how they knew going to school would be bad for me because of my health. I'll be bedridden until they say I'm well enough to go back outside." She stopped, tears now filling her eyes. "I-I don't want to leave...I've met so many lovely friends...a-and I don't have to worry about stupid bodyguards (another story for another time) scaring people away from me here... Please, please... Don't make me go..." She said, sniffing in between sentences try not to cry. But nevertheless, the tears did run down her cheeks.

Agatha tilted her head sideways in confusion as to why Cameryn was behaving that way. Sure, a ton of people were not entirely awake, yet, but Cameryn was being especially grumpy. Shrugging, the Grecian decided to poke Aiko with, "Hello? Miss Sasaki? Time to wake up."

Aiko finally got out of her fantasy after five pokes. Looking around, the woman spotted Agatha and told her with a cheerful tone, "Oh! Gomen, Amaranth-Chan! Was there something you needed?"

Agatha's Greek accent leaked as she timidly said, "N-no, Miss Sasaki, I was just concerned since you entered that trance, is all. I-I'll be going, now."

Making her way to the cafeteria, she spotted Cameryn at a table with Roland and Giovanni, where the red-head angrily snatched a cup of coffee from a mischievous Roland (the scary boy, in her book), right before taking a sip and instantly feeling calmer. Agatha could not help but giggle softly at the scene, it was a bit comical to see Cameryn like this in the morning. She worried for her health, though, given that too much caffeine could make someone moody or sick. The Grecian decided to sit alone due to not even wanting to be near Roland. Besides, she always had breakfast alone in the morning so not to disturb anyone's business, added to the fact she was never that much of a talker.

Her breakfast consisted of some blueberry bagels and strawberry cream cheese, along with a fruit salad containing an array of melons, grapes, and citrus fruit. To drink, she got herself some grape juice and chocolate almondmilk. As she ate, she certainly hoped the trio did not come to her, since she did not want to have to deal with Roland.

---

Meanwhile, Akira made had just gotten his own breakfast when he noticed Cameryn in a grumpy mood before snatching a cup of coffee and taking a sip. The scene sort of annoyed him with how Roland teased her with the coffee, but what could he do? To himself, in Japanese, he said, "I hope that issue does not become serious."

---

Aiko elected to head on over to Leon's office to check on him, only to notice him sound asleep in the same clothes he wore yesterday. In all honesty, she found him quite cute whenever he was asleep like that. Poor Miss Sasaki felt her urges come in and fought them as hard as she could, closed-mouth smiled apparent. In the end, her emotions won out and she let out a loud and enthusiastic, "Kawaii!~" She instantly regretted that and went into apologetic mode. "Gomen'nasai! Gomen'nasai! I tried to keep quiet, Leon-kun! Honest!" She now shook her arms wildly as she explained herself further. "I just can't help it whenever there is something moe going on! I know I should get a grip on it, but it's just so hard!" Clasping her hands onto her cheeks, blushing furiously in embarrassment, she calmed herself and had a sad expression on her face. "I'll just, uh... be checking on some things, Leon-kun..." With that, she went out the door to her own office to get some of her own paperwork completed. She had no idea that her sad and apologetic faces often had this puppy-like innocence about them that could charm many a man.

---

Charles had no idea he had an mischievous bystander taking a picture of him in his sleep, as he was having a dream where he was working on a landscape project and putting in the finishing touches. There to thank him was... Sasha? It was weird: he thought for sure, before he fell asleep, that Anna-Beth would be part of whatever dream he had, if at all. Why it was the Russian red-head was beyond him. He had to admit, though: Sasha did have a sweetness and charm of her own. What was weirder still in the dream was the fact he was poked repeatedly, afterwards. That was what caused him to wake up, though, however groggily he did so. "Huh?... Wha...?" He heard Sasha's voice, somewhat soothing, telling him that the sprinkles would come on, soon.

"Okay..." He was now fully awake, yet, so it did not register that he was in the academy gardens, yet. Of course, whereas Sasha got out of the way in time, the poor half-Scotsman suddenly got sprayed with water as he used his crutches to walk. He instantly spurted out frantically in Scottish, "What the hell! Is there a malfunction in the irrigation, already!?" He then noticed Sasha in front of him, still dry, and smirked, now speaking in English. "Oh. Now, I get it. You didn't want this to happen." Getting out of the way of the sprinklers, he saw that he was not too wet; just his face was covered in water. "You know, they got the sprinklers installed wrong: there shouldn't be any water getting on the benches or pathways, or even spraying high above the ground, for that matter. Oh, well. Eliab and I can fix that during Landscape & Horticulture class."

His smirk now gone, he thought out loud, "Speaking of water, there is an indoor pool not far from campus. I could sure go for a swim, right about now. Would be avoiding some of the drama at this hour, too." He then looked at his crutches he still had, his ankle next. "Oh, I forgot: I can't really do that until this ankle heals up." He sighed before adding, "What to do... what to do..." He glanced towards Sasha with an embarrassed look. "Uh... well, the reason I was sleeping on that bench there is that I was up most of the night reviewing botanical names. Being the heir to a large-scale landscaping company can put a lot of pressure on you, you know?"

---

Eliab saw Katherine lower his hand to her lap and wondered what was going on. He obviously did not believe her when she said she was okay, as it was obvious she was not. "Katherine..." He did not say her name loud, it was closer to a whisper. His eyes widened at her saying she did not want to go, which prompted him to say, "What's the matter?" He listened intently while she explained the scenario. He answered her question with a shrug and a casual, "Sure, why not?" Kat saying wrong startled him a little, yet what frightened him even more on the inside was what she said about her parents being overprotective. Okay, he heard her mention bodyguards once before, but now it was becoming too much to think about. He wanted to believe she was making the story up, yet he knew in his heart, by seeing her tears and feeling her grip on his hand tighten slightly, that she was telling the truth.

Upon thinking about it more clearly, he got out of his chair, leaned a little closer (but not too much), and placed his free hand on her shoulder nearest him. All the while, he smiled softly, but his eyes were of sadness, even with no tears, this time. Calmly and soothingly, he told her, "Then, I'll look after you." He gently pulled her into a hug as he continued. "Trust me, everything's going to be okay. We'll bring you back to health without your parents even realizing what happened. So, please, don't cry."

Rebecca made it to the door to Eliab's dorm without stopping once, causing her to take heavy breaths. Even with her athleticism, she realized the urgent sprint would still be tiring. Okay... okay... just, relax... He should be here, by now... everything'll be cool...

Camryn Shaffer

After finishing her coffee, Camryn realized she didn't get anything to eat since Roland called her over right as she got to the cafeteria. Getting up from the table, without a word, she went in line to get some breakfast. Once she got some food, Cam saw Akira sitting alone. "Eh, Ro won't mind." She shrugged going over to the table where Akira was at. "Mind if I sit here?" She asked him and when she got the 'okay' she took a seat across Akira. "Oh, I don't remember if I thanked you last night, so Thanks. And in return, is there anything you'd like me to help you with?"

Giovanni Napoli and Roland Croisseux

Watching Camryn leave the table, Giovanni spotted the girl from last night. "Hey, Ro. We should go over there an apologize to that girl for what happened last night." He said, pointing to Agatha. "And while we're at it, the other two when we see them next."

Roland didn't looked up from his food. "I don't remember last night. So, no."

"Well, I do. So let's go apologize." Gio got up from his spot, as Roland stayed silent. "Fine. Whatever. I'll go do it." He sighed, walking over to Agatha.

Once Roland finished his food, he got up from the table and left the cafeteria. He headed back to his dorm.

Standing on the opposite side of the table from Agatha, Giovanni cleared his throat to get her attention, before saying. "Hey, um about last night. I just wanted to apologize for Roland's bad behavior. He's a horrible drunk and I'm sure he didn't mean to be so rude to you and your friends." He scratched the back of his head, slightly annoyed he was the one apologizing and not Roland. But what needs to be done, has to be done.

Léon Croisseux

Hearing a loud and rather annoying shout, woke Leon up. He slightly lifted his head up from his desk to see an apologetic Aiko in front of him. He was only slightly listening to the VH's (Vice Headmaster) explanation, as he was still half asleep. Just when Miss Sasaki calmed herself, Leon was about to say that 'it didn't matter, he needed to get up anyways'; she was already out the door and in her own office.

Taking a deep breath, Leon stretched his arms and back, then let it out. "Well, might as well go to my room and get ready for the day.." He got up from his desk and left id office, which lead into Aiko's office. "Miss Sasaki, I'll be taking my leave." Was all he said, before heading out.

Back at his room, Leon took a rather long shower, before changing into his usual attire. Which consist of a navy blue button-up shirt, a black pea coat, dark gray pants, a dark green scarf, and black shoes. Before going back to his office to finish up the devastating about of paperwork, he got himself a cup of Blue Mountain coffee. Though it was in a regular coffee mug and not his favorite 'special' one since he left it in his office.

Sasha Pavlichenko

Sasha couldn't help but laugh when the sprinklers went off and sprayed Charles in the face. He shouted in a different language. Scottish maybe? "I tried to warn you." She told him, smirking. When he mentioned that the sprinkler system was installed wrong, she shrugged. "Well, I don't think it matters that the pathway's getting wet, but I get the benches since they're wooden and could rot."

After Charles mentioned the indoor pool, Sasha though it was a great idea; but with his injured ankle, she guessed going swimming wasn't the best to do. "No, not really." She answered, as she doesn't have the pressure of being an heir to a family business. "Now, back to things to do. So swimming and staying in the garden are out of the question. What else is there to do at this school?"

Katherine Prescott

Katherine was still feeling a bit dazed when Eliab got up and placed his hand on her shoulder. She wiped her eyes once he told her he'd look after her. "Really? You'd do that for me?" What she didn't expect was for Eliab to gently pull her into a hug. And what he said after surprised her even more. A wave of weariness came over her as she hugged him back. She didn't know what to say and she felt to tired to think of something. The only thing that came out of her mouth was a quiet "Thanks..." before her arms slowly fell from his back. She had fallen asleep with her head resting on Eliab's shoulder.
