Cassandra sighed, resigning herself to having to bear her full name. Cassandra was a good name, but Cassie didn't like being called by it, not when it was her grandothers name, and great things were expected of her because of that. But she wasn't going to explain that, however, so she just nodded. This girl seemed rather uptight, so Cassandra waited until she had finished speaking, before saying, [color=f6989d]"Because when we graduate, even if our achievements are based on a game, we still have to be able to use the knowledge we gained in school to function in the world. Homework enables us to know if we understand something or not, and if we need more learning. The game just gets us a spot in the world. School work, and home work keep us there"[/color] Well, that was what it seemed like to her. 

Cassandra took the history book, feeling like this was were a lot of Eris's...disgust of home work came from right then. Perhaps Eris simply wasn't good at History, [color=f6989d]"As for history books, you're right. They are biased. No one wants to read history from the losers point of view in battles and in the world, however, I think that most of the achievements, advancement wise, are correct. Why lie about it, when with a little digging, we can find the truth? It is not like they are saying there was flying cars hundreds of years ago, because that simply wouldn't be true.""[/color] She said, [color=f6989d]"However, that's just my opinion. I find History fascinating, and enjoy figuring out were a half truth might or might not be"[/color] She shrugged, handing Eris back her history book. 

[color=f6989d]"As for the game itself...It might not be the best way at testing each of our particularly skills, abilities and strengths, however, it has worked for many, many years. is it broken? Maybe. I think school should have more of an impact in our standing. Can we do anything to change it? probably not, but that doesn't  mean we can't try. So, do you're biased history, do well in the game, and then have the power to do something about the flaws"[/color] 

Cassandra leaned back in the chair, wondering if she had said something wrong, or not. If, before she even got a chance, she was going to alienate someone else. Right then though, Cassie decided she didn't care. She felt like Eris was just toying with her, tolerating her, and that made Cassie a tad ticked off. She didn't need to be pitied, or put up with.
