London, England

Anna-Beth changed quickly, looking uncomfortable and swamped in the clothing, and perched beside her maid. "I do despise this class," she mumbled under her breath as she scanned the other's for her brother. He jogged over not long after, looking calm and comfortable, a huge grin plastered on his face.

"This is great!" he chuckled, and ignored his sister as she rolled her eyes.

Rebecca held back a giggle when Ackley was so sheepish at the realization. Although, she kind of figured Ackley would react to PE the way he did, which made her feel a little bad for her initial reaction to him realizing there was an additional class. She was not going to make a comment for or against PE, though, considering how her master might react to either sort of comment.

She nodded as he motioned for her to come with him, doing so obediently. What she heard next nearly made her blush. He is wishing me luck? Rebecca could barely control her reactions, at this rate. Despite keeping a calm facade, she was having an emotional storm inside. What if she did not make the team? What would Ackley think of her, then? Many possibilities echoed in her mind, scaring her to the core.

All she could manage to say to him, with a nod, was, "I'll try."

------

Agatha srhugged at what Anna-Beth said about the class. She could exceed expectations with a 'B' or higher in there, yet that was not what she was worried about. Would the class be Co-ed or would the genders be separate? The Grecian hoped for Co-ed so that she could be near Andrew, and to impress him.

Seeing him come closer made her smile a little, even going so far as to hug him. She could not kiss him, just yet, since this was a public area, plus people would be watching. Still, the hug was brief in case anyone already had their eyes on the two.

"So, Andrew..." Her green eyes locked onto his Auburn-Honey ones. "Do you like to swim?"

"Yeah, swimming is alright. But I like things like basketball, rugby, football...I like things with tons of running!" Andrew grinned and slung his arm around Agatha's shoulders. Anna-Beth huffed and rolled her eyes.

"You like all the violent things."

"Yeah, I do!"

"Football, huh?" Agatha thought on that as Andrew held her close. Aside from swimming, soccer (in this case, called 'football') was the main sport she would participate in. Her mood changed some when the word violent came into the picture. It reminded her of the loss of her parents. However, relationships could not be all pleasant. Sooner or later, people will always find rough spots to deal with that make the unromantic side of things. The Grecian accepted this fact, motivating herself to not feel discouraged. Besides, she truly loved him, and that was what mattered.

"Well, I did particpate in some swimming and football events, from time to time. Those are actually my favorite sports."

Ackley Bee

Ackley raised an eyebrow slightly with a questioning gaze towards the girl, feeling a vague sense of uneasiness from his maid, though felt best not to proceed with the matter. Perhaps it was just his imagination, maybe he was thinking too hard about things.

“Anyway, I’m sure this class will be fun,” He said just then, attempting to change the subject. “I don’t really know much about history. Well, I didn’t really pay much attention in any of my old classes. I mean I know stuff, and that, but it doesn’t really interest me. You know?” Ackley noticed a few more students entering the room then, and knew any minute now the teacher would probably arrive. Thinking of this made the boy feel somewhat nervous, briefly, which was normal for him whenever taking on something new, and especially something which he did not feel confident with. How he would cope with PE was anyone’s guess.

Rebecca almost flinched as she noticed Ackley raising his eyebrow and gave the gaze he did. Oh, s***! He saw right through the emotional mask! D*** my impulses! If only I was as good as Eliab at hiding my feelings! How did my brother even manage for as long as he did before we started this school year? He changed the subject before she could reach the breaking point, though, which gave her some relief. At least now, the inevitable was delayed.

Her brother was correct about something: she was impulsive. Her emotions were easy to read, no matter how much she hid them. At least, that generally was the case. Eventually, Rebecca would have to admit her growing feelings for her master. And yet, it was too early to do so, just yet. Besides, she still had a degree of uncertainty as to how she felt about Ackley.

"Yeah, I was never really interested in history, either. It's more Eliab's area of expertise than mine."

She noticed her master felt a notch nervous, possibly about the class. Before Rebecca could decide on whether to ask, however, the teacher already entered the class room, right when the bell rang for class to begin. It was more of an orientation than anything else. Still, the information could come in handy, which meant taking notes sounded proper, and that she did. It kept her mind off of Ackley, at least.

Katherine Prescott

"Of course you can stay here. I'm sure the teacher won't mind." Katherine said to Asami, unknowing of the conflict that was going through the girl's head. "Here you can sit right next to me! Classes are much more fun when you have friends in them, especially if you sit next to them." She smiled, pointing to the empty seat that was next to her. "The teacher should be here soon, Oh! There she is." Katherine watched as a blonde-haired woman walked into the classroom, she was carrying some books. She had glasses on and her hair was in a bun. She wore a dark plum button up shirt and black slacks. She went to her desk and placed the books down, then she walked over to the chalk board an wrote down her name, Miss. Dubois.

Ackley Bee

As the teacher entered the room Ackley promptly threw open his notebook incase any notes would be needed for the class, though he assumed that even if there were any it wouldn’t be much seeing as it was their first time in the class, although it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared regardless.

“At least we have that in common,” He muttered, keeping his voice a tad quieter. “I feel a bit more relieved knowing I wasn’t the only one who felt like that.”

At the slight mentioning of Eliab it just suddenly dawned on the boy that his maid did have an older brother, a somewhat daunting thought that it was, though only because Ackley had never dealt with an older brother before, until now. But even with that, when thinking about it, Eliab was nice enough and very pleasant, and in general a good guy all round from what he could tell from their earlier meetings. Well, ignoring the brothers over-protectiveness. Ackley briefly wondered how long it would last, seeing as he was closer to Rebecca now than he was previously, and if their growing friendship would bother the older boy, if at all.

Shaking his head Ackley tried not think about it, though part of him wondered why he was so concerned over the matter despite his attempts to ignore it. Was there more to it? Maybe the boy was just being a tad overly paranoid, combined with his nerves from starting school. Ackley just sighed then, at that moment, and attempted to suppress the curiosity that provoked his thoughts.

Asami nodded and quickly sat down in the chair beside Katherine. She was glad, for some reason. Even though it didn’t make too much sense, it was a nice feeling. Very nice… She sighed softly to herself as the Teacher, Mrs. Dubois, turned around and began to call out the names on the student list. Asami waited for her name to be called… But it didn’t come. Asami’s glad feeling faded and she shrank into herself, hoping slightly that the teacher had missed her name. If it wasn’t, then she was probably in the wrong class… And then she would have to leave and go into the other class and people would stare at her and she would have to explain that she went to the wrong class and… and… Asami took a deep breath to calm herself. The last thing she needed was to get anxious over something like this.

She shifted uncomfortably, glancing at Katherine. She didn’t want to leave at this point, even though it was so selfish a wish.

"Yeah?" Andrew grinned and hugged Agatha closer, nuzzling his face into her hair and planting a kiss on her temple. "Great, we should have a mini-match sometime."

"No, you shouldn't," Anna piped up, the usual worry and whimper in her voice, "you'll get too competitive. You always do. That's why I don't play with you any more."

"You worry too much, Anna-Beth, seriously."

"I do not. It's you, Andrew, I worry the perfect amount."

Katherine Prescott

Katherine listened when Mrs. Dubois was talking roll. Once her name was called, she raised her hand and said "Here". After that was finished, she noticed Asami's name wasn't called. She looked over to her and frowned. Thinking for a moment, she decided on a small plan.

Raising her hand, Mrs. Dubois called on her. "The Headmaster wanted me to tell you that Asami Higashiyama will be joining our class. He told me this when I stopped by his office at lunch." Kat said, smiling, as Mrs. Dubois gave her a somewhat suspicious look.

"Alright then, Miss. Higashiyama, I'll add you to the class list." With that, Mrs. Dubois wrote Asami's name down on her list.

Katherine looked back at Asami and smiled. She then wrote something down on a piece of paper and placed in on her desk. It was better than trying to talk to her during class.

The note read: Hey if you need any help with French, since this is one level above you, just ask me. I'd love to help you out. We're friends after all. :)

In between notes, Rebecca sometimes glanced over at Ackley. What she could gather was he thought deeply on something. It had to have been troubling him. By the facial gestures, it appeared he wanted to store whatever the topic was away. Why is he like this, all of a sudden? The yankie maid figured it was best not to ask him about it, noting that if she did, he might deny anything being wrong. The time to talk about it will come when it comes.

----

Agatha let out a sigh of contentment as Andrew held her closer and kissed her on the forehead. It was quite a shame when her moment was interrupted by yet another argument from both twins. Although, the part where Anna-Beth said Andrew could get too competitive did result in a small mental giggle. Nobody's perfect.

Asami's faced flushed a shade of pale red as she read the note. She had been quite surprised at Katherine's words to the teacher, and she could not understand for what reason Katherine had done it. Maybe it was as she said, and they truly were friends? Such a thing... Asami did not know what it entailed. Having not had what she knew of as a "friend" before, she could only base her assumptions of friendship off of literature, which Asami knew to be generally false.

To Asami, a confession of love would not have meant more to her than a declaration of friendship, however, at the same time, it meant so little to the frail girl that she knew not what to do in this situation. A friend was not something she knew what to do with, nor was it something she had ever felt the need for. It had seemed a luxury that she, who had known a life filled a great many, seemingly more valuable luxuries, a life filled with care, with love and pity, with sadness and pain, was for some reason denied. Or maybe it was that she herself had refused it...? No matter the circumstances, however, they it was at this moment that it changed. With the note of paper clutched to her chest, her pale hand toying with the edges, Asami gave a slight incline of her head. And thus the girl, her face pink, her body frail, stepped into a new chapter of her life. A life at this school, a life filled with a great many things that were new to this girl. And in time, she would come to embrace these, to smile, to laugh, to frown, to cry. In time she would grow and mature, to live her life... But for now, she was a mere girl, a simple child, her heart still closed and sealed tight.

A simple girl, a simple character in the story of someone else's life. But time passes, and stories change. Wings which are grown will fly, these wings, though immature and feeble, would surely one day grow.

Ackley Bee

With his thoughts concerning more to his next class, which was PE, and the dreading of which that followed, Ackley slowly found himself becoming somewhat hesitant as his mind filled with whirling thoughts of possibly running off at that moment just then, avoiding the class altogether.

Though clearly, it would be defeating the purpose of deciding to take up the class in the first place if he just ran away, and more importantly he didn't want to seem weak in front of others, especially Rebecca.

Staring down at his notes Ackley couldn’t help but vaguely sense the feeling of his maid watching him from time to time, which eventually after thinking about it to himself, caused him to try and show a bit more contentment on his face incase she grew curious. When tilting his head in her direction Ackley offered a smile incase she should happen to notice, before focusing back on the class currently when realizing how little attention he had been giving.

When Rebecca noticed Ackley smiling and nearly blushed. This was the first time she thought about how handsome her master was. She slowly began to realize, she did have a crush on him. Him, of all boys in the school. Instead of making it obvious, she decded to smile back, then refocusing on the class to take down notes, and to take her mind off of Ackley, again. Alas, she was never good at hiding emotions. And yet, being around him left her happier than she would normally be.

----

Agatha looked up at Andrew and said, "Sure." Placing a finger on his nose, she added with a smirk, "Just try not to get cocky, sweetie." The Grecian hugged him again while giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll do my best," Andrew chuckled, "but no promises." He grinned broadly, ignoring the strange look on his sister's face.

"I forgot my hair elastic," Anna mumbled weakly, and stood, heading back for the changing rooms, "I'm going to get it. I'll be back."

"You don't need an elastic anymore," her brother called after her, but she ignored him and scuttled into the room with a swish of short hair.

((Sorry for absence!! I've been crazy busy -_-))

(Time Skipping) After what seemed like hours to the students, school was finally over. Students who have after school classes will be given a 30 minute break before it begins. The first day for school has felt like forever, a never ending day at school. But now hopefully school will feel much quicker. Well, until the after school classes are over, that is. Some of the students have already gone home, or retired in their dorm room. As they don't need to worry about classes after school, unlike some other students who have to spend a few more hours at school.

Katherine Prescott

Leaving her Business Math class, Katherine decided to head to the cafeteria for a little snack before her after school Dance class began. "Hmm, maybe I'll get a fresh bowl of fruit..." She muttered to herself, as she went down the stairs. Entering the cafeteria , she walked into the the line, waiting to get her snack. Once she grabbed a fruit bowl and payed for it, she went out the back door.

Kat found a nice grassy area under a shady tree. She took a seat and started eating her fruit. "I should probably change into something better for dancing." She thought out loud. "This dress is too stiff to dance in." She told herself, taking another bite of the fruit. She then took a book out from her bag. Leaning against the trunk of the tree, she opened the book to the last page she was on, and began reading.

Sasha Pavlichenko

Sasha finished getting her things together and left the German classroom. She had half an hour to kill before the Dance class began. She decided to go back to her dorm for the time being and get stared on the little bit of homework some of her teachers assigned. The dormitory seemed a bit quite when she entered, maybe some of the other residents are still out, school only just ended.

Sasha went into her dorm room and placed her backpack next to her desk. She sat down and took her homework out. Scattering papers and a book or two across the desk, she began her homework.

Eliab just got finished with his voluntary bench presses in PE and began drinking from one of the water bottles presented. He figured he would get a head start in preparing for trying out for the baseball team in a couple weeks. Charles was impressed by his butler's strength, which made him grin to the side mischeviously.

"Are you sure you are as lightweight as you say you are, mate?"

The yankie let out a sigh after he finished taking sips. "Yeah, why?"

"What sport did you say you were planning on trying out for?"

"Baseball, if they have it."

"That'd be perfect for you, with that good ol' throwin' arm."

Eliab glanced in his master's direction. "You think so?"

"Of course, Eliab. It may even be your ticket to..."

The yankie butler knew what Charles was implying. He wants me to win Katherine over with my athleticism. The thought of such a strategy made him give an angry glare and blurt out, "Don't even think about it!"

Charles cocked his head while raising an eyebrow. "Why not?"

Eliab calmed down enough to state calmly, "Because an athlete can only attract fans. It's not the same as a girlfriend. With a sports fan, one is impressed with the skill and the body. A guy's girlfriend should see more than that."

"Well, yeah, but, it's always good to make a great impression, too, don't you think? Build some memories? Besides, if you were to be in a relationship with her, she would have a right to know more about you than most other people, right?"

His master's point left him speechless, for what was said made some sense. Eliab did not like the idea of using skill as part of winning Katherine over, yet he realized the need to let her know more about himself than he would have admitted to most people he met in the past. I guess it's worth a shot. Maybe...

Eliab went back to his dorm after class and changed into something more casual, consisting of khakis, white and black sneakers, baseball socks, and his old shirt from his time on his previous school's Freshman Baseball Team, the Cardinals. His mother and father would chew him out for not dressing like a butler should while on campus, but he felt he had to be in something different, in order for Katherine to see more of what he was like. Heading out to the garden, he found a tree and sat under its shade. Elaib then brought out a chocolate chip protein bar and began munching on it, reflecting on how Katherine had been so sweet to him, so far.

He was so deep in thought, he had not realized Katherine was sitting under the tree same tree as him. He only noticed when he looked around him and spotted her as he glanced behind him, to his right. She seemd to be busy reading a book. The sight of her cause a grin to appear on his features before he turned his eyes forward after a brief moment.

This seemed as great as any time to start up a conversation, a chance Eliab was glad for. "Hey."

---

Rebecca got out of her gym uniform prior to sitting down on one of the benches. Instead of changing back into her clothes she picked out for the day, however, she decided to remain in the red leotard she had on underneath, wanting to impress Ackely. The bell rang, and she immediately walked off to find him. The moment she dd was when she came up in front of him. She knew there would be thirty minutes before gymnastics tryouts.

The girl smiled warmly and said,"Hi, Ackley."

Luthais Rae

Glancing at his watch and realizing the time, Luthais remembered just then the after school classes he had to attend today, although if he was right there was still some time left before they officially began, about thirty-some minutes. With that in mind the silvery-haired boy felt like taking a brief stroll before Dance class, believing the fresh air would do him good while knowing that he ought to not turn up late for his first class after school.

Making sure he had all of his things with him, Luthais headed off down the hallways and then outside, in the process noticing a gradual decrease in the amount of students left around the Academy after school hours had finished not that long ago.

. -. -. -.

Daileass Taveon

Getting his things together Dail decided to head straight for the gym after school had finished, preferring to be punctual than casual with his time seeing as he was actually looking forward to his after school classes. With his bag over his shoulder the tall boy began his walk to the gym, though it didn’t take that long to get there seeing as he wasn’t too far.

Once inside Dail looked around curiously, getting to know the place better before going off to find the location of his dance class. Upon finding it, shortly after, he settled down on the ground nearby and put his bag to one side before digging out a notepad and doodling in it for amusement.

. -. -. -.

Ackley Bee

After gathering his things together and getting properly dressed, again, Ackley left the gym class. He knew there was some time left before the after school classes began and thought best to go and find Rebecca, knowing the girl would likely be around nearby. A few moments after, however, he almost jumped when taken by surprise at seeing the girl appear in front of him just then.

“Hi there,” He muttered with a faint blush, trying to keep his calm. “I didn’t see you there.”

Sheepishly, Ackley tried to look away but couldn’t, and simply stared at the girl quietly for a single moment. He noticed she wasn’t wearing her usual clothes from before, but instead some sporty outfit, which was likely the reason why he was a little caught-off guard by her presence.

“Did you… enjoy the class?” He asked, attempting not to gawk at the girl and seem rude.

Katherine Prescott

Katherine was deep in her book, sucked into the story. She hadn't noticed the groups of students that were either heading back to their dorms or going home. It's been a long day and she really wanted to know what happened to Blair Christoffer, the main heroin of her book. It's been since last night for when she had last read her book, and she fell asleep during the climax. The petite girl was so focused, she didn't realize that Eliab had joined her under the tree.

Hearing a voice behind her, broke the concentration of reading. Kat looked up, blinking. When she turned to glance over her shoulder, she saw Eliab sitting by the same tree she was. "Oh, hello Eliab." She gave him a sweet smile, before marking her place in the book and closing it. "What are you doing under this fine tree?" She asked, giggling a little, as she readjusted herself to face him.

~~~~

Sasha Pavlichenko

Sasha had finished her little homework in no time. It only took her about 15 to 20 minutes to do all of it. It was almost time for her after school Dance class, so she decided to head on over to the gym, where the class was going to be held at.

It really didn't that the girl that long to head on over. When she opened the doors, she spotted someone already in there. He looked familiar. Was he in one of her classes?

~~~

Roland Croisseux

Roland had headed back to his dorm to change. He was now wearing a white long sleeve collared button-up shirt, with a black sleeveless vet and black tie. Also a regular pair of skinny jeans with a studded belt. Grabbing a bag that was on his desk, he left his dorm and headed to the Girl's Dormitory. Once he got there, he went up to Camryn's dorm and knocked on the door. "Here, put this on." He told her, entering the dorm, and handing her the bag. When she went to change, he sat down on the small couch. When she was done, he got up. "There, now let's go to the gym for our Dance class."

~~~~

Camryn Shaffer

Upon hearing a knock on the door, Camryn opened it, only to find her Master standing in front of the door. Letting him in he gave her a bag and told her to put whatever it was on. "Alright." She took the bag and went into her bathroom to change. It only took a few minutes to change. When she walked out, she was now wearing a sleeveless white dress with a black waist bow and clear heels with black ties. He was always doing this to her. Making her wear whatever he wants her to. She really had no choice, she was his maid after all. Nodding, she headed out her dorm, following Roland to the gym.

Eliab's grin grew wider upon seeing Katherine's smile while hearing her giggle. The brunette had such a beautiful voice. The Yankei boy answered her question with, "Oh, I was just thinking about a number of things. Didn't even notice you were here until I glanced around." He put away his protein bar while continuing to speak. "Among other things, I'm considering trying out for the baseball team." ooking down at his shirt, he added, "On that topic, this shirt I'm wearing right now was part of my uniform as part of my previous shcool's Freshman Baseball team, last year. I was a pitcher."

Looking at his watch, he saw there were just sixteen minutes until it was time for class. "Ah, crud. Dance Class will start, soon. Better get going."

Another grin towards Katherine, and he was off. It did not take long before he was in the dance room. Eliab did not see Chalres, Anna-Beth, or anyone else he was familiar with, yet. However, he did spot the pink-haired girl whom he saw earlier at the cafeteria with his sister. Now, what was that gal's name? Let's see... Sasha? Yeah, that sounds about right. Glancing away, he leaned on one of the walls within the room in case anyone else he knew came.

-----

Rebecca almost blushed as she noticed how hard Ackley was attempting to look away. He was such a gentleman, she had to admit. "Yep. I enjoyed it." Turning around, she added, "You did want to see what I can do in gymnastics, right? We have time."

Walking on over to the gymnastics room, she made sure Ackley followed before opening the door. She next turned her attention to the balance beam. That particular event was what she was going for. She gave Ackley a soft smile prior to preparing fto get on the balance beam. Once there, she immediately initiated her performance. Each move was executed with such grace and balance, you would think she was in the Olympics. She was that skilled. It went on like this for a minute and a half.

She finished the whole thing with little difficulty, though she was catching her breath while wlaking up towards her master. "Well, what do you think?"

Daileass Taveon

Noticing a few students turning up and heading into the dance room, Dail packed up his things and got to his feet then before heading inside to join them, assuming that their class would begin shortly.

As Dail entered the room he saw a vaguely familiar girl from earlier in the day, possibly the girl that Asami was considering having as a maid? He thought for a moment over the matter before giving a light shrug and continuing looking around the room. Just then the blonde male recognized Eliab, leaning against a wall.

“Hey, Eliab.” He called quietly before walking over more closely to the other butler. “I didn’t think I’d find you here, out of all the classes, dance would’ve been the least of my guesses,” Smiling, he tried not to seem patronizing with his words. “I mean, are you any good at dancing?”

. -. -. -.

Luthais Rae

Realizing that the Dance class would begin shortly Luthais decided to head on over to the gym, knowing that the class was being held around that area, though not quite exactly whereabouts.

It didn’t take him long to arrive at the gym, and once there he watched a couple of students heading in some direction or another and quickly decided to follow them. Arriving at a room and entering it promptly, Luthais suddenly noticed a girl with pink hair in front of him, and quietly asked, “Hey, is this the dance class?”

. -. -. -.

Ackley Bee

Following Rebecca, Ackley curiously wondered as to what the girl would do as they made their way to the gymnastics room. Once there, the boy watched quietly as his maid moved towards the balance beam and then proceeded to get onto it. As she began her performance Ackley stared intently, remaining silent, as he did not wish to disrupt her act. Afterwards, noting that Rebecca was done when seeing her walking towards him, Ackley smiled warmly towards his maid.

“Wow, that was something completely amazing,” He said, with all hints of honesty in his voice. “I haven’t seen anything like that before, you do it really well and are so graceful with your movements.”

Ackley could hardly keep his eyes off the girl. In some way or another he was almost proud of his maid, mostly because he had no idea how good of a gymnastic she really was until now. It was impressive stuff and Ackley knew himself, certainly, couldn’t do it. “I’m sure you’ll go far in gymnastics,” He offered some encouragement, knowing it was the least he could do before they parted for their own after school classes. “You’ll get in easy, without doubt.”

Katherine Prescott

"That's neat. Good luck on your baseball tryouts." Katherine smiled as she collected her things. Then when Eliab mentioned that Dance Class was going to start soon, she stood up. "Alright, see you soon." With that being said, she brushing the bottom of her dress off. She waved bye to him as he left. "I better hurry if I want to make it there in time." She told herself and scurried to her dorm room.

Quickly getting to the Girl's dormitory, Kat let out a big sigh. "Now up two flights of stairs..." Rolling her eyes, she rushed up the stairs and entered her dorm. Luckily, she placed the dress she was going to wear for dance on her bed before going to class in the morning. The dress she wore to school was too stiff and she couldn't possible dance in it. She undressed and put on the other dress in no time, changing her shoes as well. Now wearing a white and light pink dress and pale flats with white bows at the tips.

Only having less than 5 minutes to get to Dance Class, she did her best to get there as fast as she could. The bell rang just as the petite mistress walked into where the class was being held. She quickly spotted her butler and Eliab, so she made her way over to them.

~~~~

Sasha Pavlichenko

Sasha spotted a few more students she had recognized from her classes. She was about to walk over to them, but heard a voice coming from behind her. When she turned around, she spotted a tall sliver, almost white, haired male. "Uh, yeah it is." She responded to his question, looking into his golden yellow eyes. After a moment she gazed around the room wondering where the teacher must be.

Just as she thought it, a young women in her early 20's, walked into the room. She wore black legging and a grey tank with black flats. Her dark copper hair tied up in a ponytail. Then a man, who looked to be around the same age, walk in behind her. He was wearing red basketball shorts and a blue tank.

Eliab heard Dail give a hushed call to him and glanced in that direction. "Hey."

Daileass then said, “I didn’t think I’d find you here, out of all the classes, dance would’ve been the least of my guesses,” Smiling, he tried not to seem patronizing with his words. “I mean, are you any good at dancing?”

The query, plus the effort put into sounding less patronizing made the yankie butler chuckle a little. "Eh, sort of."

Seeing Katherine brought a bigger grin to his features. She did mention she would be in the class with him. Holy cow... look at her... so beautiful... Of course, being the expert on emotional masks, Eliab did not even hint at being captivated. All anyone could see was the closed-mouth grin he had on his face. "Vel, ikke du ser fantastiske?" Well, don't you look stunning?

Glancing around the room, he stated, "Det synes alle er kledd opp for dette, nesten." It seems everyone's dressed up for this, almost. The yankie let out a sigh before pulling a stupid joke. "Vel, antar Sportsidioter ikke kan alltid spille ball." Well, guess the jocks can't always play ball. The thought of the joke made him laugh a little, even though he knew it was probably lame. "Jeg vet, forferdelig spøk." I know, terrible joke.

He would have said more, though he would not know what, since he normally did not talk much. Either way, the two teachers seemed to have entered the room. The yankie stood away from the wall, now, ready to listen to instructions and do whatever is required.

---

Rebecca could not keep from blushing, this time. "You really think so?" At this rate, she probably would not hold her emotions in for much longer. Oh, what the hell! It's not like he'd actually see right through me if I do this! While her master still stood there, she gave him a hug. "Thanks." It was while she was hugging him that she noticed the time. "Oh, shoot. Only ten minutes left before class." She let go of him while adding, "I don't want you to be late for wherever you're going."

She could not help but feel lonely, now that Ackley went off to his first after-school class. Of course, she would be making new friends during gymnastics, but still, it was not the same. Regardless, the maid did not want to disappoint him. She would make the team, even if she had to use every ounce of adrenaline in the process.

With her master away and out of hearig distance, The maid decided to make the most of the time she had before tryouts. Just as she was about to go sit on the nearby bench, Rebecca noticed one of the other girls trying out for gymnastics was watching her the whole time. Great... As if I didn't have enough trouble... She tried her best to ignore her, yet it was all in vain when she was spoken to by that same girl.

"I must admit: For a yank, you actually have talent. Then again, yankie lasses have always excelled in some sport or another in the Olympics, so it's no surprise, there." The blonde walked nearer to Rebecca, a warm grin on her face as she welcomed the newcomer. "I'm assuming that lad is your boyfriend?"

The blush reentered the yankie maid's features, followed by a frustrated scoff and the crossing of her arms. "No way! Why would I have feelings for some guy I have to take orders from?"

"Oh! I see! So, you two are friend-zoned, for now?"

At first, Rebecca was silent, not sure how to respond. She knew a master and his maid being romantically involved would be looked down upon, should such a relationship sprout up. The reply ended up a shrug, followed by, "I guess..."

The blonde giggled a bit, prior to placing a hand on the Southern yankie girl's shoulder. "Well, I'll be rooting for you!"

Rebecca glared angrily. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"Just what it sounds like, mate!"

Another few minutes, the coach for girls gymnastics finally arrived. With that came instructions as to how tryouts would work. They were simple enough: it would be based on how well each move is executed. Many girls were present, yet only some would make it. The way Ackley and that one girl in the room put it, however, it sounded like Rebecca stood a chance. There was only one way to find out: actually get on with it.

Daileass Taveon & Luthais Rae
________

Dail laughed a little in response to the butlers remark. When about to say something the blonde male noticed his mistress entering the room, on time, just. When the girl was close enough Dail offered a smile towards her, seeming a little amused.

“Nice of you to join us, eventually.” He playfully remarked. “I’m just glad you didn’t get lost.”

When realizing the teachers had arrived Dail stood keenly to attention and awaited for any instructions from either of the pair. He was quite excited for this class, though nervous, but felt almost giddy enough to ignore his usual anxiousness for the time being.

“Great! Thanks very much.” The boy grinned. “Looks like we’re going to be Dance class buddies.”

A moment after Luthais noticed the two teachers enter, staring at them momentarily, before moving away from the door and heading further into the room. “Suppose we better snap to it.” He sighed when looking back to the pink-haired girl, unsure of who exactly she was, though guessed that she was new.

Glancing around the room curiously it wasn’t long until the boy spotted a slightly familiar tall, blonde male not too far away. Walking up to him, and giving a light tap on the shoulder, Luthais grinned once more and lingered quietly behind the other boy.

Turning round Dail blinked, recognizing the tall male behind him. “Luthais?”

Luthais then smiled. “Funny seeing you here.”

Dail shrugged in response. “I didn’t know you were taking dance class as well?”

Luthais chuckled. “Yep. I figured it sounded fun and I had nothing else to do, anyway.”

“Yeah, well. Your just in time, class is about to start.” Dail glanced over towards the two teachers.

Luthais casually looked towards the teachers as well. “I wonder what sort of dance we’re doing.”

The two tall boys stood quietly, awaiting the teachers instructions. Sooner or later things would begin, but it seemed that they had a minute or two still to go. Peering over, Luthais gave a simple wave and smile towards Katherine and Eliab, figuring that Dail must’ve known them since he was standing with them.

Ackley Bee

Ackley blushed somewhat when Rebecca hugged him, though managed to keep a professionally calm appearance and kindly accepted the girls embrace. “Your welcome,” He replied, before pulling away when realizing the time. “Oh, right. I better get going then, I have Photography!” Without another word he left the girl to her gymnastics and quickly ventured off to wherever his own class was being held.

It didn’t take Ackley that long to find where his Photography class was, and thankfully he managed to arrive on time without much trouble either. Entering the room quietly he settled himself down nearer the front before taking a moment to see who else was in the room. There wasn’t really anyone he knew in the class, and that didn’t seem to bother him. Although having Rebecca at his side would’ve been reassuring when noticing this was the first time the pair had been parted for the entire day.

“Oh well.” The boy muttered to himself, attempting to seem more cheerful at the situation.

It had been only a few minutes after Ackley arrived that the Photography teacher entered the room and quickly began the class. After taking the register a brief overview of the class work was given out, followed by the teacher going over each piece of information to ensure everyone understood.
