It was hard for Connie to peg down one emotion she was feeling at the moment. On the one hand, there was the natural excitement that came with a new school year and all the new possibilities it brought. On the other, last year at Orean Cause wasn't exactly memorable for her, try as she wanted she just never seemed to make any friends and more than one of her teachers yelled at her - not her fault that they taught math in a way that was far too complicated to understand. And if that wasn't bad enough, she didn't even get to perform in the school play because she missed the audition to take a math test she had failed.

Math. Always out to get her.

But Connie was determined not to let the failures of last school year keep her down, and this year she came prepared. As she listened to the speech with eyes wide and smile never fading, she nodded along to the words. There was going to be a party later, but Connie had additional plans for something to do instead of, or at least after, the party. 

In her hands was a stack of papers, hand made and copied, with big, blocky words on them:

With the students free to mingle, Connie set off, walking along the main grounds, stopping and handing out the fliers to any interested student. 

[b]"Movie night! After tonight's party! All are welcome! Bring a snack! Bring a blanket! Bring anything you want!"[/b] Connie was eager to hand them out and even more eager at the possibility of someone attending. She was not looking forward to repeating the mistakes of last year.
