Agatha nodded to Noel's request. "Sorry, Noel."
Charles laughed a little more. "Say, you're not doing anything next Saturday, are you? I could get Eliab and his sister, Rebecca, to come with the three of us to an Italian restaurant in town. The food is authentic, the atmosphere pleasant. Can I tempt you?"
Agatha grinned to that offer. "That sounds great!" Turning towards her mistress, she asked, "What do you think, Noel?"
“Oh yeah, I had almost forgotten about him.” Ackley muttered when Rebecca had mentioned Eliab. “He wouldn’t do anything would he? I shouldn’t be worried, should I? If he found out,” The thought alone was worrying at least, and therefore Ackley would need to be careful when around Rebecca in the future. “Anyway. We’ll just have to be careful, that’s all. We can manage that easily enough. Besides, in a way I guess, it is quite... exciting in a way.” Smiling, his earlier blush had faded quickly.
Listening, Katherine had her eyes closed as Eliab played the piano. Once he finished playing the song she showed him, she opened her eyes and smiled widely. "Splendid! You did exceptionally well!" She said, sounding like a proud teacher would to their student. Delighted, she gave him a hug. She couldn't contain her excitement, as it showed when she lightly squeezed him. "Oh!" She quickly pulled back, only seconds afterwards. "I'm sorry...That was uncalled for…" The petite mistress apologized, her cheeks a faint pink color. It was either a blush or from embarrassment.
The bell rang, finally ending the last class of the school day. Kat promptly stood up, grabbing her back from the side of the piano bench. “I’ll…see you later.” She muttered and in a blink of the eye, the brown haired girl was down the stairs of the stage, almost half way to the door. As soon as she was out the door, she let a loud sigh escape. Her heart was beating faster than usual and Kat, being her, couldn’t make the connection as to way it was doing that. “I should just get started on my homework…” She told herself, walking off towards the Girl’s Dormitory.
It was now a little after 5 o’clock in the evening. Katherine was already in the dorm’s study room, working on her homework, though there wasn’t much to do. All she had was a small self-report to do in French for, of course, her French 3 class and for Art she had to do an audition art piece. But she’ll get stated on that later.
Could it be...? Eliab eventually dismissed that thought, as he knew that under normal circumstances, crushes take time to develop. And yet, back at his dorm, once he had all his homework finished, the thought returned. It was now gnawing at his mind relentlessly, begging him to cut loose. After a while, however, he calmed down enough that he did not focus purely on that moment at Music class.

Rebecca shrugged. "I don't know. I just can't tell what will happen, better being cautious than not." The girl heard the bell ring and snapped her fingers. "Dang, better get back to my dorm." Hugging Ackley, she chirped, "See you later!"
Homework was no problem once she was at her dorm. It was rather easy. The main thing that bothered her was how Eliab could possibly react to her relationship with Ackley. Then again, he might not even suspect it, as any other boy in the past was rejected. Eliab would not realize her relationship with Ackley unless one of the two screwed up in keeping it a secret.
“Yeah, I guess your right.” Ackley muttered before being hugged. “Goodbye!” He gave a brief wave, smiling as he did so, before Rebecca began heading towards the girls dormitory.
Eventually, after arriving at his own dorm Ackley got whatever homework he had for the day done with quickly before allowing himself to relax for the remainder of the evening. Once everything was done and set aside the boy flopped down onto his bed with a heavy sigh, unable to stop himself rethinking over what had happened through the course of his first day and more especially what had happened between himself and Rebecca, and how things would develop in the foreseen future.
With a shrug, Ackley attempted to drop the matter momentarily. There was no point in worrying over something he could not act upon at that point in time, however, it didn’t stop him missing Rebecca now that the two were separated, for now. When feeling tired shortly after he gave a tired yawn as his eyes gradually closed, eventually falling asleep on the bed.
After Katherine finished her French report and most of her art piece, she looked at the time. "Wow, it's already 7:30." She sighed, stretching her arms up. "Better get something to eat." Standing up, she grabbed a small bag that contained her room key, wallet, cellphone, and medicine. She left her dorm room, locking the door behind her, than headed down the stairs to the lobby of the dormitory. She went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. When she opened the fridge, it was empty. "I forgot...We need to fill this up ourselves...Well, off to the cafeteria before the food crew leaves..."
Exiting the dormitory, Kat headed across the campus, passing the boy's dormitory along the way. It was fairly dark outside, so she had to use a flashlight, since there wasn't really any light out. A cold wind blew in and the brown haired girl shivered. "Darn it...I should of worn a jacket or something warmer." She told herself, standing in front of the entrance door. "Let's hope it's still unlocked." She tried the door. Good. It wasn't locked. Walking in she went to the cafeteria. The food crew, as she calls them, were just about to start cleaning up to leave. "Wait!" She called out, rushing across the room. "Would you mind making a small snack that I can bring back to my dorm before you leave?" She asked them, which they smiled and said yes to.
Once the small tray of food was prepared and given to Katherine, she payed and thanked them, then headed back to the dormitory. She made it back just before 8, which is when students were no longer allowed on campus. She went upstairs and to her dorm. Unlocking her dorm room door and going inside, she jumped onto her bed and opened the tray up. "Oh! Yummy!" The tray was full of fruit and a tofu and veggie stir-fry dish. She turned on the TV, changing the channel to Sherlock; one of her favorite shows, and stared eating.

Camryn Shaffer
Camryn had already ate right when she finished her tiny amount of homework. She should just go over to Roland's room and give it to him, since after all he'll just copy it anyways, but she knew he was still out doing who-knows-what. Releasing a loud sigh, she grabbed her iPod, put her headphones on, and turned it on her iPod to get some music playing. Then she walked to the small bookshelf in her room and looked through the collection of books she has. Betrayed by P.C. Cast. She took the book off the shelf. "I need to finish the A House of Night series..." Smiling she went back to her bed and began reading.

Rebecca had much to think on, as well. She and Ackley were together, yet it would not be a simple road. Certain people would consider it a scandal, which frightened just thinking about it. Her eyes closed shut before long. Gymnasts grow weary swiftly, plus she truly was exhausted due to other things, as well.
Weather: Morning chill
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.
