Lesson one - First years

Emie entered the classroom and sighed. "First one, again." She mumbled under her breath.

She sat on a corner, as usual, and just reminded herself not to sigh too loudly in case the walls had ears.

"You know, speaking rules-wise, we're not actually allowed to do this." Clementine said, leaning against the wall,

"Ana just got bored and decided to try and do the lessons on her own. I don't thing these are theactual lessons, so there is nothing to gain by being the first one. Basically meaning theres no point, and that we should wait for a teacher."

Alex dawdled in, whistling to himself. "Rules are for losers" Alex said casually.

"And look, here's the king loser now!" Clementine said dramatically, and mock-bowed down to Alex.

"Keep it for prison" Alex said simply.

"Eh?" said Clementine, uninterested.

"Dunno" Alex chuckled.

Darcie was wandering down the hallway. She had a couple minutes to spare before class started and the hallway was empty. She had started singing an Irish lullaby that she had loved since she was three. "Ta me i mo shui o d'eirigh an ghealach areir. Ag cur tine sios gan scith 's a fadu go gear. Ta bunadh an ti-" Darcie stopped short as she entered the classroom she thought was empty. Blushing deeply, she stuttered, "I- I- I umm- I'm sorry!" Darcie turned to run out of the classroom.

"Darcie-" Clementine grabbed her arm, "It's alright. I've been caught licking a table. That is much more embarrasing." she said it with a completely straight and sincere face.

Alex chuckles "I've been caught with no top on. That was embarrising."

Clementine grimaced "I'm glad I wasn't there to see that..."

Darcie laughed and smiled."I suppose we're in yet another teacherless classroom?" Darcie asked softly. She sighed and set her bag on a nearby desk then sat crosslegged on a chair by Clementine.

I swallowed back a chuckle when they all told how they were caught in different awkward situations, as I had never been caught in any. So much for trying.

I turned to Clementine again. She seemed to be the easiest to go with. "Ana's the other red-head, right? The one who keeps bouncing everywhere?" I blushed, trying not to sound too impolite.

"Yes, although... Bouncing everywhere? What do you mean by that?" she asked curiously.

"Well, she keeps on bouncing, like she was on springs, when she goes to talk to someone." I looked down, trying not to seem too spyy or something.

"Oh yeah. She's just... confident? Talkative?... I don't really know..."

I sighed. "Those adjectives are just the antithesis of who I am."

"Same," I grinned, "I'm not usually like this. Like, never. Most of the time, I sit in the corner and don't say a single word... It's just with new people and those I know that I talk to, really... Don't know why..."

Alex smirked "Because you love us"

Clementine nodded, tipping her head slightly to one side, "We are a tightly-knit group around here, to be honest. It's mostly because we're the only ones around in school these days."

Alex smirked, "It's me,I'm either too pretty for them or too tough." He said breaking out in laughter.

"Yes. I present to you the prettiest girl in the whole of Alecto..." she said, dramatically pointing at Alex and mock-bowing.

"You wish" He said sticking his tongue out at her.

"I know. You don't get prettiest... Either Dracie or Ana do. You get medium. Thanks for trying, though."

"You know I do, your just hiding it from me." Alex smirked.
