Setting
((Sorry for the short post...I'm just really tired, haven't been sleeping much for the past 3-4 days.))

Luthais followed the young master out of the library while he thought of where to go next, as really, there were so many places to go, though which were the important ones? He turned towards the boy and smiled. “Well, we could go anywhere,” He said softly. “The gardens are pretty nice to visit, and you can get an excellent view of the sky at certain areas,” Luthais stared at Haru briefly before casually gazing off down the halls. “Also, there’s the cafeteria. And your classes as well, in fact. Those places are handy to know as well, incase you get lost.” He paused for a moment.
“Oh, what classes do you have, actually?” Luthais asked curiously.

Dail looked to the girl curiously. “It? Miss, you forgot… it?” He muttered whilst in thought to the mysterious thing in question. Whatever it was Katherine seemed urgently in need of it, per say. Looking more closely he watched the girl leaning against the table in some manner that caused Dail to worry. “It is alright miss,” He tried to assure her and walked over to Katherine’s side, before gently setting a hand to her back and rubbing her a little to sooth her. “Are you having a type of anxiety attack? I’ve seen something like this before, though even then I was unaware of what to do,” Dail shifted his gaze towards Eliab at that moment. “Hey, can you help her?” He asked.
"I can try!" He calmed down enough to think straight. The yankie was right next to Katherine now, not sure what else to do. "Denne dagen snudde til å være en begivenhetsrik en..." This day's turning out to be an eventful one... "What is it you forgot?"
He paused and thought for a second. “Hm… that’s a good question. Gimme a second.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. He unfolded it and read it over a couple times before answering. “Okay, I’ve got… Arts & Literature, Social Science, English, Languages, and Technology.” He refolded the paper and replaced it back in his pocket, then looked back up at Luthais. “What do you have?”
Mel
Pros and cons, Mel, pros and cons…
Mel crossed her arms and raised a brunette brow at the young man. Then, she smiled wryly. “As much as I’d love to break your nose right now, I realize that it’s not worth getting expelled and blacklisted. So,” She unfolded her arms and put them on her hips. “As long as I’m your maid, however long that’ll be, I’m going to attempt to teach you some manners. First lesson,” She reached up and flicked his forehead with her index finger. “’Please’ and ‘thank you’.” She crossed her arms again and gave a small, good-natured laugh.
"And I'm gonna teach you a thing or two about the Andersons. Number one," he held up a single finger, "I'm not a wimp. I ain't gonna let you get expelled for hittin' me, especially if I TOLD you to hit me. Two," he added another finger, "only punch me when I invite it. If you punch me otherwise, I may react badly. Like, throwing you across the yard, badly." He shrugged, and smiled again, before spinning on his heel. His eyes focused on her over his shoulder, and a hint of a smile shone in his eyes. "C'mon, let's go grab that stupid space cadet of a sister of mine."
Without another word, he began to march back into the school building, turning his music up and drowning out a majority of the world.
Anna-Beth was getting really nervous, watching Katherine panic as she was. It...it...trouble breathing, panic attack...did she have asthma? She slipped over towards them, and though her voice was soft, she spoke strong and even for Katherine.
"Sorry for intruding, but...is it an inhaler you need? I have one in my bag, but it may not be your type of medication. Is that what you need, Miss?"
Chamomile glanced gently at the boy whom Rebecca had presented as her brother, Eliab. Chamomile had never really got a grip of love and its frequent ups and downs and falling in love wasn't something that she valued as much as, well - apple pie. Her expercience of relationships was equal to her expercience in chinese - none - but based on the whishy-washy, short lived lovestories which her ex-friends told her about, she wasn't that anticipative of making her own. On the other hand, she couldn't judge entirely on imagination but falling in love with someone you've barely met was just unrational. She felt sorry for Eliab, but still thought of him as pretty ignorant because of his unefficiant ways and too early love-confession.
She watched him leave the cafeteria, looked back at Rebecca in order to return her focus at her precious slice of apple pie.
The entire conversation made Rebecca feel uneasy, even when sitting down at a table eating bits of her fruit. This was not a topic either she or her brother enjoy discussing. It meant taking a risk, that being the risk of the loss of friends. Such a burden is often painful. Eliab was hit hard with it the most, however. Death threats, insults, and a vast array of other forms of hostility weighed him down everyday. Peers often asked him why his sister did not die in a suicide bombing, yet. She would be asked that, too, which irritated her to no end. Her response would simply be that she and her family are not like that.
Hearing Eliab, Kat replied. "Jeg beklager..." I'm sorry... She then paused for a moment. "Could you go to my dorm room?" She asked Eliab, since he was so eager to help. "I need the small black bag on the coffee table in the front room..." She took her dorm key out of her bag and held it up to the boy. "I'm on the third floor, room 3." Her eyes were closed again, head still resting in the palm of her right hand.
"I have a specific inhaler, but thank you for the offer and for your concern." Katherine told Anna-Beth, she felt like a burden to everyone.

Watching Haru for a moment Luthais found himself doing the same and dug out a piece of paper which held all the information he needed for this years. Glancing at it briefly he answered, “I have Arts & Literature, Math, English, Music and Technology,” He looked back towards the boy and smiled. “Looks like we match a little, funnily enough.” Luthais laughed a little before setting the paper back into the pocket neatly. “What’s your favourite subject, do you have one?” He asked curiously. “I have a few, mainly Technology and English, as well as Arts & Literature. I like those the best.”

“Oh your not a broken child at all, Katherine,” Dail muttered in an attempt to cheer the girl up. He could sense some form of sadness that lingered within the girls soft voice. “No ones perfect, and we’re all here to make sure your alright. Ain’t that kinda cool?” He paused for a moment and looked to Eliab, seeing his response to the girls request.
“Maybe a backup would be ideal,” Dail said when hearing the other girl speak, the same lass from before back in the Auditorium, who seemed genuine enough to be concerned over Katherine. “Next time.” He pulled away from the girl and sat down next to her, his eyes shifting occasionally between the persons that surrounded the table.
Once arriving at Katherine's dorm, the yankie saw the inhaler, just as described. He grabbed it, locked the door, and sprinted back to the cafeteria. He nearly ran out of breath by the time be returned with the medication. This was a longer sprint than he would have done practicing for track and field or baseball. Eliab placed the inhaler on the table, along with the keys.
"Her er det!" Here it is!
Hearing Daileass, Kat looked at him, then everyone else. "Thank you...You all are very kind. I'm sorry to be a burden on all of you." She said, slightly thinking that now, since they know of her health problems, they will be too protective over what she does.
"Next time?" Katherine repeated, wondering why Dail had said just that. Confused on what he meant by Next time., she just shrugged it off.
Kat nodded to Eliab, watching him run off to her dorm. When he was out of sight, she placed her head on the table, and closed her eyes. She was getting a small headache, but nothing from her symptoms. It was just because of all that is happening.
Katherine was half asleep, when Eliab's voice woke her up. She opened her eyes, seeing her small black bag, with the inhaler inside, and her dorm room key next to her. "Merci beaucoup." She thanked Eliab in French, lifting her head up from the table. She searched the small bag and took out a few things such as her inhaler, a small injection pen with a tiny container of a purple liquid, and a little oval see-through blue box containing light pink pills.

“Yes, next time. Incase you have another little attack like this,” Dail quickly muttered. “Being prepared for a next time is wise, and safest.” He looked at the girl briefly before shifting his gaze towards Eliab, then the other girl. As far as he could assume everything was going to be alright for now, seeing as the whole majority of panic had ceased now somewhat. “Guess everything is good now?”
As a moment passed Dail watched while Katherine dug around in her little black bag, noticing the girl taking out a few things in doing so. However, in particular, the small injecting object as such caught his attention most of all. At the sight of it he could feel his skin turning three shades paler than normal, suddenly. Oh dear…
“Y-Your not going to use that are you?” Dail hesitantly asked quietly. Not that he objected of course, he just had this odd disagreement with the sight of blood, as to which put him at a slight unease. That, and anything in general penetrating the skin that would result in blood arising. Even just thinking of it all made Dail fidget a little in his seat.
Eliab was truthfully impressed that Katherine knew exactly what he was saying. Not very many people he knew outside his family were fluent in Norwegian. The thought of how intelligent she might be put a brief grin on his face, reinforced by the satisfaction of knowing he helped her out when she needed it. That grin left, however, when the yankie thought of the earlier talks with her. Does this really compensate for my stupidity before it? In the end, he decided that past was irrelevant. What mattered at the moment was what was happening then.
Charles broke his train of thought with, "Broke a sweat again, huh, mate?"
Eliab looked in his direction. "It was worth it, sir!"
"Ah, enough with the formalities!" The master chuckled. "We're in the same age group! I don't expect a lot of formal stuff from you!"
The butler had to laugh a little, himself. "Sure thing, Charles!"
"Well, now that that's over with, how 'bout we find ourselves a table?"
"I think I'll sit alone for a while."
"Suit yourself!"
As Charles left, Eliab turned his attention back to Katherine for a moment prior to heading in line to get his dinner. He ended up getting plain rice with General Tso's chicken on top of it. For a side, the yankie put some strawberries and a banana next to the main dish. He sat at an empty table nearby Katherine's, but did not look in her direction. The boy just ate silently, pondering how the rest of the year would turn out. He had to admit, the first day so far had more going on than there probably would be for the next few others within the week. His mind wandered off in several different directions at once.
Hearing Dail's hesitant voice, Kat looked up at him. "I have to use it. I have type 2 diabetes, so I need to use it for my insulin." She briefly explained, then noticed the sight of the injecting object made him slightly unease. "I'll got to the restroom. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable." She told the blonde male sitting next to her.
Katherine fell quiet when a red-haired male came up to the table. It seemed like he was Eliab's master, which must of made Eliab a butler. She watched as the red-haired boy left, then as Eliab went to get some food for himself.
After a moment of just sitting, Kat placed her things back into the small black bag, then slowly got up from her seat. "I'll be right back." She said to everyone, as she made her way to the girls bathroom. Her steps were shaky, having to use other tables around to walk. She was still weak, but she didn't want Daileass to uneasy.

Dail listened calmly as Katherine, very nicely, decided to move herself when feeling the need to take her medication. Though he felt bad for the girl having to do this, Dail was if anything pleased at least, as now he didn’t feel as sick, slightly. “Alright, bye for now.” He quietly muttered in response when Katherine got up and headed for the bathroom, his eyes watching her for a moment as he noticed she was a little shaky on her feet, but managing herself nicely.
Dail looked away and lay his head against the cold table for several minutes, the queasy feeling slowly drifting, and his skin turning back to his original shade; which was still quite pale. He’d noticed the other girl moving as well, before the boy was alone once more and raised his head up slowly. It was then at that moment Dail remembered his idea to visit the headmaster, though that could wait till Katherine returned, if the girl still wished to join him. Pushing the tray of fruit away a little he averted his eyes and casually gazed around the cafeteria to see other students like himself; new.
What should I do now?
He wondered. It was expectedly daunting for him to venture far through the Academy, mainly as he were new and unfamiliar with the layout; and Dail still felt a little off. Knowing this made him sulk a little, his appetite rather nonexistent and his hair freely laying against the sides of his face.
Not bothering to pay attention to her surroundings, Nina headed in the direction of the cafeteria. She had been at the school before for some event or other, so she knew her way around fairly well. Presuming that lunch had already begun, Nina decided her best bet would be to go to the cafeteria to meet everyone.
Her head bowed in embarrassment, Nina walked in. It was always so shameful to be late! Suddenly, her foot caught on something, and Nina tripped, falling over the chair that a girl had been sitting in. "Oh, sorry, ma'am!" she exclaimed, quickly standing up and helping the girl up. "I wasn't watching, I apologise." She looked the girl over, making sure that she was ok. She was certainly a rather gorgeous specimen, Nina had to admit. Her hair was long and blond, and she had lovely eyes that appeared to be almost gold in colour. Nina wondered who she was. She certainly didn't appear to be a maid of some sort, that was clear.
"No, no, I'M sorry! I shouldn't have had my chair pushed back that much, oh, I'm sorry!" she helped the girl stand and offered her a nervous smile before offering her hand for her to shake, "I'm Anna-Beth Anderson, it's so lovely to meet you."
Andrew saw his sister fall down and pushed into a dead sprint, crossing the cafeteria in just a few seconds. His face was red and he wanted to yell, but Anna was already apologizing to the girl, smiling in that silly, forgiving way she had. He sighed and put his arm on his sister's shoulder, leaning on her slightly.
"And I'm Andrew, her twin brother. Who, exactly, are you?" his tone was sharp and short, as was customary with Andrew. Anna-Beth, squabble forgotten, nudged him with her slender hip and rolled her eyes.
"Andrew, please do be polite, it's not as though she meant to send me toppling over."
She followed Andrew with a sigh. Wherever he found his sister, even if he did, there would most likely be a scene caused. Mel knew this, and she’d only known the guy for a good five minutes or so. No surprise when they entered the cafeteria to see the blonde girl fall over and Andrew rushed ahead and sharply addressed the girl who’d been the cause of the unremarkable incident. His sister looked exasperated, as was Mel, about her brother’s antics. She crossed her arms and stood just behind Andrew.
“Mother of God, Andrew,” she said, rolling her eyes along with Anna-Beth. “Chill.”
Haru
“Favorite subject? Hm…” Haru crossed his arms and gazed out a nearby widow in deep thought. Just like him to almost overthink a queston. “Languages? Maybe. Either that or Arts & Literature. I’m into that kind of stuff, just in case you haven’t noticed yet.” He ended the sentence in his signature giggles, happy that he and Luthais shared at least a few classes.
Then Kat picked up her half eaten tray of food and threw it away in a near by trash can. She grabbed her backpack and flung it over her shoulder. Checking her phone, it was 5:30 in the evening, she sighed. "If we want to go see the Headmaster, now would be a good time to do so." She told Dail, putting her phone away.

“I really like Arts & Literature, I find my strengths to be in my creativity, unlike everything else. I’m not that brainy, or at least that’s what I believe,” Luthais said softly while casually looking towards the boy on occasion. “I’d rather put myself down, than be overly confident in belief. I tend to look at the negatives rather than the positives to a situation, as then I won’t get disappointed.” He smiled a little as they wandered down the hall, Luthais at times gazing out the windows amusingly, before turning his attentions back onto Haru, hearing his giggles. “You like to laugh?” He asked, curious. “I’ve noticed you do a lot, and you do have a nice laugh. Very… vibrant, I’d say.”

A moment passed before Dail felt his shoulder being poked, randomly, which caused him to slowly glance back towards whoever was the culprit. Luckily, it was Katherine, and not some nobody looking for trouble, thankfully. Shifting round fully he looked the girl up and down briefly, seeing her well once more, and watching as she put away her tray. Vaguely, before, she had asked him a question, though it took a few minutes before he could utter a response.
“Lets go see the Headmaster,” Dail muttered, hearing the girl telling him so at that moment. “It’s now or never,” He laughed a little sheepishly before dragging himself out of his seat and tiding his tray away quickly, while in the process regaining his normality back, somewhat. His brief state of lifelessness was over with, as his senses returned. “We’d better get going.” Dail sighed a little before heading for the exit, doing so he stayed close to Katherine, now that her medication was out of sight.
Andrew, however, looked pleased with himself, and began to prod his sister in the sides, making her jump slightly. It tickled her, and it entertained him, however much she protested. Obnoxious as he may have been, he was her brother, and knew exactly how to keep her from being upset with him for too long. He noticed, however, that she seemed too annoyed to pay any mind to him. With a huff, he stalked off, looking for someone else to talk to.
Once in front of the Headmaster's office door, Kat stood there, hesitant to knock on the door. "M-Maybe I'll just put the letter in his mail slot that's in the front office...O-Or you can give it to him for me..." She appeared to be quite nervous, or scared, to see the Headmaster. "N-No that's too much of a hassle for you...I-I'll just leave the letter on his desk when he's not in his office..." Katherine began to take a few steps back. "Daileass, why don't you go ask Headmaster Croisseux what you wanted to." She told him, looking around. "I'll wait over there." She pointed to a spot away from the office door. There was a chair that was behind a large potted plant. "Don't worry. I'll wait for you. So go headed and ask him" With that, she turned around and went to sit down on the chair.
