**Ash - The Girls Locker Room**

Ash made it into the locker room with five minutes to spare. Having already received a tardy from Miss Reese set Ash a little on edge. Ash was the most careful when it came to class with Miss Reese, as she had the most power over her ability to swim. 

Ash set to chatting with one of the other girls and was soon by the pool, her hair pulled under the cap. Just looking at the water, even the over chlorinated stuff in the pool, made Ash shiver with joy. 

"Are you excited about the bonfire?" Mary, a girl on the team asked Ash. Ash nodded, too distracted by the water to care to get into the details. "Me too." Mary started gushing about the previous year and how much fun it had been and how she had been waiting since then to do it all over again. She was cut off when Miss Reese came into the pool area. Without so much as a word Miss Reese her whistle and the team was doing laps.

**Amy Snow - The library**

"Oh yeah, that's not that hard. I'm Amy." Amy reached out to shake the strange boy's hand. 

"Mainly what you need to focus on is the historical context. I was in Miss Reese's Advanced lit class last year. She loves the tie ins." Amy explained. Amy then went on to explain further of how during that era people felt like they were being pushed out of their homes and normal lives. "I can show you a few good reference books if you want." Now that the conversation had started Amy was comfortable, especially since it was about things she understood.
