[quote=HylianRose] Billie waited for something to happened. Anything. Standing in a crowd of people was never her strong suit. Crowds of any kind were never her strong suit. She even found it hard to be surprised by the strange Headmaster's words. It was something her mother would have done. Super flashy and unnecessary. She sighed, trying not to freak out because of the mass amount of people around her, all of them probably better than her. It was a pretty regular thing. After all, Billie was one of the lowest of her class. Her entrance exam over the summer hadn't exactly inspired much hope. She was in the freshmen classes even though she was clearly older than most of the students there. Still, she was trying and that was all that mattered, right? Even if everything blew up in her face. She bit her lip, trying her best to get out of the crowd and into a more... secluded area of sorts. She wasn't a loner... She just hated crowds. She always had. Something about feeling lost... She shook her head and quickly made her way down to the stables to check on Eva, more worried about the horse she hadn't seen all day than meeting with any of the other students...She paused at the door, memories coming back to her from this morning.The face of her mother, those worried eyes staring her down. She'd promised... Letting out a frustrated groan, Billie turned around, a scowl on her face no doubt, as she looked around the room for someone to talk to. She noticed a blonde girl sitting on the ground and decided to walk over to her, offering a hand to the younger female. Billie asked with her hand held out to the girl. She explained, her voice trailing off. [/quote] “Surprised?” another voice decided to startle the girl and Lovedaia would have surely bolted ten feet to the left and slightly up into the air if not for the fact she was still on her posterior. Either unperturbed or unnoticing her widening eyes and stiff spine, the blonde girl continued, “I would have been had I not been..preoccupied by other things…” “Gods, don’t just come out of nowhere like that!” Lovedaia gasped, clutching at her fast beating heart. When it slowed a second later, she struggled to her feet, nearly falling over, but righting herself at the last minute. Taking a moment, Lovedaia studied the girl. She was taller than herself and had long wheat-colored hair that had a slight wave to it. Her skin was tan and her nose sharp. Lovedaia couldn’t remember seeing this girl, ever, and decided that friends were good, friends were great, friends were easy to man-i-pu-late. Also because Lovedaia didn’t have any friends and really wanted something to do this year instead of climbing trees simply to overhear conversations and laugh about them. Clasping her hands behind her back and leaning forward slightly, Lovedaia smiled. “Hello! I’m Lovedaia or you can call me Lufu…or Lovedaia. It really doesn’t matter. Who’re you? What are you studying? I’m studying pythomancy – are you perhaps studying pythomancy? That would be so awesome if we both studied pythomancy! Uh, what did you say your name was?”
