I look over at someone new who had entered the room, and I figure that Stein would get here soon. Thank goodness, it wouldn’t be awkward anymore!

[Tartarus]

“Hi Conner!” I say, leaning back in my chair and smiling at him. “Hi!” I say again, in case he didn’t hear me over the music. Just then, Professor Stein came into the class room. I hurry to shoo Tossy under my desk and sit forward again, crossing my hands on my desk and smiling innocently. “Good morning Professor!”

((Is not anime style but oh well))

[Samantha Law]

((Wow! That’s REALLY good! I wish I could draw on the computer… I’m not that good at anything other than Pokemon sprites…))
I immediately sit up and put my headphones away for after class. The professor dips his head in acknowledgement and sinks into his stitched-up rolling chair. Following him was a boy I knew to be Stitch, his son. He had gray hair like his father, and various patches covered his person. The most prominent was stitched right over his right eye, giving him a slightly haggard appearance. Stitch quickly takes a seat as far away from people as possible. Other ((NPC)) students file in until the classroom is full.

I give up trying to ignore the music, and glance down at the boy in front of me. “Hey Tartarus,” I responded, tilting my head in acknowledgement to my fellow student and adjusting the frame of my glasses afterwards. “What’s with the,” I trailed off as Tartarus began trying to hide his pet goat while students were shuffling in. Sensing the eminent arrival of the school’s resident mad scientist, I shut my trap and began rifling through my backpack to find my school supplies. I pulled out a mechanical pencil, a rubber eraser and a notebook with my name and an image of a soul on the cover. I balanced the notebook slightly over the edge of the desk in order to conceal a paperback novel which I planned to read during class. In the novel, Princess Psyche had just discovered a hidden passageway leading from the mysterious transfer student’s room to a secret underground city. I just had to know what was going to happen next! Besides, I was reading which was an academic thing to do, right? I gave a quick glance to the students sitting next to me, but they seemed too focused on their own studies to rat me out. I let a small smile sneak across my face. This would be the best class ever!

I turned the music down as class began. I looked over and saw Connor, kid was pretty smart so I figured I’d ask him what was going on. “Hey, Connor,” I whispered as I turned back in my chair. “What’s…” I drew a blank, and immediately regained focus on him. His book is what caught my eye though. “…that you’re reading?” I asked. He normally read, his book poorly concealed from the view of our peers. But, this was the only time I actually bothered to ask.

The sound of my name being called snapped me out of my book. I briefly glanced at the page number in the corner before turning to face Meg and whispering back, “Storms of the Heart. It’s the third in the series, but I could lend you the first one, Storms of the Soul.” I grinned. The excitement of possibly finding a new reading partner was greater than the fear of getting caught, “The plot isn’t that great, but the characters are amazing!” I gave another glance at Stein who seemed to be writing something on the board, and thus had his back turned. “Have you read anything good, lately?”

[Samantha Law]

I look up from my focus on the board, to where a conversation was taking place.Was that a bookI spotted? Someone was reading in class? I frown, that wasn’t polite to the Professor in the least, much less against the rules. I raise my hand and say without exaggerated innocence, “Professor Stein?” I knew that calling out the student’s reading would make me even less liked by the students, but it seemed like the right thing to do. When Stein turns around, I continue. “Professor Stein, I think he was reading a book during the lecture.” I point to the student earnestly. Several ((NPC)) students glare at me, probably thinking I was being a teacher’s pet. However, I genuinely believed I was doing the right thing. He could certainly read after class, he didn’t have to disrespect the Professor by not paying attention to his lesson.

[Davey McWaffles]

“Well aside from a few graphic novels, I haven’t read anything that great. But, I’d really like to barrow storms of the soul if that’s ok.” I politely smile back. It’s nice to think I may actually have a real friendship forming. Plus, I’m almost positive he’s a weapon, maybe we could partner up if things go well.

Samantha later called Connor out for reading in class. Stein rolled his chair to the edge of the stairs, and walked towards Connor. He simply took his book, then hit him upside the head with it. “What the hell was that for?!” I yelled at stein. Yeah, maybe we’re not suppose to read in class. But, was it really nesesary to hit the kid. Stein didn’t respond, he just walked back to his chair, and rolled back to his desk. Just like that he continued to teach, but I still didn’t think it was fair. So, enraged at steins unfair actions towards my almost new friend, I yelled again. “You can’t just hit kids with books and continue class like that. It’s not right!”

[Peridot]

I smile back as my offer to borrow the book was …actually considered for once. I have to admit, that sort of threw me. How’s that for a plot twist? I may have actually made a friend in this class. I can’t really remember whether she was a Weapon or a Meister, but either way it’s nice to have a partner in crime and a fellow book-lover. Also, maybe I could borrow some graphic novels too…

Of course, my joy was short-lived when one of my fellow students ratted me out. It just had to be Samantha Law, and not some loudmouth Stein would have just tuned out. I tend to freeze when I get put on the spot, and this time was no exception. I could feel my face turn bright red, as soon as I got caught and steam fogged up my glasses. “I- I–uhhh. Well…you see…umnnn…” I began to panic when Stein headed toward me, originally trying to shove the offending book back in my bag but I ended up flinching preemptively when Stein got closer. <Please don’t let me get dissected…> The mad scientist calmly snatched the book from my fingers, and hit me upside the head as a quick rebuke before leaving to continue the class normally. Once he was far enough gone I let out a sigh of relief before realizing that he still had the book, and I’d have to approach him after class if I wanted it back. Joy.

And then my new friend rose to defend me in a valiant effort which was sure to get me killed. “What are you doing!?” I hiss. “Just let it go.”

[Samantha Law]

I wince when Stein tapped the student on the head, then wince even further when another student begins protesting. I keep my eyes down, pretending to be writing notes instead of paying attention to what was going on behind me.

I walk through the hallway, very much regrettably late. As I move forward to the class I was told to go to, I simply peek in and notice people first thing and it seemed already started. Through the door, I could hear a little of what was going on so I sat out in the hall away from the door a bit. I brush back a mat of my hair and feel comfortable out in the lonely and quiet hallway, listening to what seemed like whispers through the door.

[Asura]

I was walking through the halls.not realtivly in a hurry.i had just gotten shipped from a bus to the death academy.from where i was presidentialy late after all my time waiting in the office.so it was about mid class when i was wandering through the hallway when i found my classroom.only to look through the doors window and see all hell in front of me.i sighed.”oh god”i said in a monotone voice.and decided to walk in and just sit alone possibly before i get noticed.i opened the door.and here it was when every single pair of eyes was locked on me.’im not that noticable am i?’.my eyes flick to the board where the teacher was writing things down talking to some girl.i slowly walked to my seat in the middle near the right side not next to anyone particular.’this is a small class…’when the professer is touching people on the head with sticks.’ummmmmmm’i search for my text books and vacantly stare at my book pretending to be reading.

[Lord English]

I saw a boy walk past me and then right into the noisy classroom. I shiver at the thought of hearing them so clearly for that moment but remain silent to not be noticed. I curl my legs up to my body, holding them as the door shut. I smile at remaining unnoticed and rest my head back against the wall, listening once more through the closed door.

[Davey McWaffles]

I looked at Connor quickly, then back at stein. “I’m standing up for you.” I said still looking stein right in eyes. “If you’re not going to fight back, I will.” Me, being as reckless as ever, didn’t care about the outcome. As much as I enjoyed standing up for Connor, this also did shorten the lecture. “are you just going to sit there stein, or are you going to defend yourself. If not, I’m going to waltz right up to you and take Connor’s book back.” Stein didn’t respond, so I did what I said I would. I calmly walked up to steins desk and placed one hand on the book. But, surprisingly, he let me take it. Just like that, I started to to walk back up to my seat.

Moments later, I found myself bleeding on the ground. Stein had struck me down right before I could get to the stair that led to the seating. Most of my peers were laughing at me. It was worth it though, at least I tried to help.

[Asura]

listening to the commotion in the room i heard this boy scream at professor stein then waltz to his desk and take something after 5 seconds of quiet i heard a loud crack.as if lightning were cracking in the room.i look up and what do i see.some brat bleeding to death next to me.this surprises me and i curiously look at his eyes.”shocked”is all i get from them staring blankly into mine for about 5 seconds.i look around and see that all the attention is on him and quickly get back to my book.but my ploy failed.i feel a set of eyes on me from somewhere not the boy on the floor who is clearly someone i wouldn’t mind avoiding. but somewhere to my far right a little behind me in the very back.i can feel them.but i just sit and wait for the guy on the floor to stop looking and get up so i don’t have to wait here in this miserable classroom.
