Madison had to admit that the welcoming presentation was rather impressive. She couldn't help but stare in amazement as it was her first time witnessing numerous abilities being used as part of a performance. Unfortunately, her attention was cut short when her watch notified her of an incoming call. She saw that it was from Damon, her 16-year-old neighbor who was notoriously known for being nothing but a troublemaker. 

[i]What the hell does he want?[/i] she wondered, turning a bit anxious as she ignored the call. Not 5 seconds later he was calling her again. Madison decided to just let it ring, trying to instead focus on orientation. Once the students were dismissed to meet with their teachers, Madison snuck off down the hall to where it was a little bit more quiet and a lot more secluded. She dialled his number, Damon unsurprisingly picking up by the first ring.

"What do you want?" she greeted him in a rather harsh tone.

"Madison...my mother passed-" his voice broke, and she instantly felt a wave of regret. There was an awkward silence on the line for a moment before he spoke again, and Madison could tell from his voice that he had been crying for some time. "Is it okay if I talk to you for a minute? I don't-"

"Yeah, it's fine," she added, cutting him off and wanting to make up for how badly she had just treated him, "you can talk to me." 

Madison made herself comfortable as she sat down on the ground and leaned against the wall. She realized that she would be a bit late to class, but she could make up a quick excuse for her being tardy. After all, there probably wasn't much to learn on their first day of class.
