Ruby thought it would be easy to keep up with Korrey since his load was heavier than hers, meaning he couldn't go as fast as he could have been. But as they got to the school doors and the crowd became thick with students, Ruby found herself not only separated from Korrey, she also lost track of him entirely. Impressive seeing how tall the two of them were. Well, seeing how she still had some of his luggage, Ruby hopped that she A) didn't have something important, and B) was able to find out his room number quickly so she could bring it back to him.

All thoughts of Korrey left her mind though as she entered the Sun Room. It was just as radiant as she remembered, the color's that washed over the students were just as vibrant, and that mystical feeling that Ruby felt the first time she ever entered the Sun Room was still just as strong. Ruby often imagined that entering an ancient, long forgotten temple would give her the same feeling of awe. If Ruby could, she would have stood still to take in the whole room and every detail, but the students around her weren't exactly inclined to let her just stand there when she was in the way so she kept moving until she finally came to a stop in the crowd around the podium.

Another part of being in the sun room that Ruby liked was listening to Headmaster Loyola's speeches. He was an amazing public speaker, knowing how to get the room to laugh and able to captivate his audience as well as he prepared students to receive their [i]sacramentum[/i] bonds. He certainly helped Ruby with the slightly anxious feeling she had when it came to getting her partner. Speaking of which, she recognized one of the first names to be called up. Korrey! 

Ruby quickly scanned the room to see if she could recognize Korrey's future partner. It didn't take long for Ruby to see the blonde girl that Korrey had been talking to earlier had been chosen as his partner. She seemed nice earlier, so Ruby was glad that her friend wasn't paired up with someone not nice. She hoped she could say the same for herself when the time came.

Nancy didn't know what she had been hoping for as she and her two friends waited to hear their names called. She kind of didn't want to be called up, or at least not last as she seemed to be destined to be. Not that she wasn't supportive of her friends! She happily cheered for Felicity and Monty as their names were called, happy to see them paired up with interesting and seemingly nice people (that Korrey dude seemed nice but Nancy could feel the "little brother is concerned" vibe that Monty was sending out). But now she was worrying in ways she hadn't thought of till now. What if her partner was scared of her? Monty had been scared of her at first so it wasn't an impossibility. What if she made her partner uncomfortable? She knew her friends would tell her that that was ridiculous, but it was still a worry she had.

But Nancy wasn't allowed to worry about it for long after Monty was called up because her name and her partners were being called. 

"Nancy Jones and Nathanial Zane Elswood"

Shoot, Nancy knew that name. But where did she know it from? Trying to remember was like trying to remember something vital for a test and having it on the tip of your tongue. But that didn't stop Nancy from trying as she made her way up to the podium. It was here that she finally saw her partner. She...still couldn't place him. Was he in one of her previous classes before? Or just happened to be someone in the right place and time as she handed out goodies? That might have been it. She really hoped it was the latter as it would show she's not completely scary as she looked. To help further drive that point home, she gave Nathanial a smile and held her hand out to him. "Hey dude, nice to meet you! I'm Nancy, looking forward to working with you this year."
