[color=hotpink]Gideon seemed pretty unenthused when he responded, so Kimmy was unsure of how to reply. Maybe he had just picked some random ones that he didn't care about? It didn't seem like much fun to her, but it might be a good way to try something new. Whatever the case, he seemed to just shrug the topic away, so she nodded and returned to her previously silent state. [i]Man, I'm terrible at this...[/i] Her head was starting to hurt really bad at the stress of all this, so she pulled out her umbrella even though they were indoors. Those around her might recognize this as her not feeling well in some physical or emotional way, if they got the chance to know her. It really did help alleviate some of the pressure, and it almost made her feel calmer to hide behind its lacy brim.

At Gideon's question, Kimmy glanced up at him with a shy smile. [b]"A-Actually, I think we're supposed to get them after the welcome ceremony or something,"[/b] She offered, hoping to be helpful. It was just a rumor she had heard, but she had not gotten her schedule either so they would need to at some point. However, his next statement surprised her and she immediately felt the warmth of blood  rushing to her pale cheeks. [b]"You... You want to be in the same class as me?"[/b] She gaped at this, having never heard anybody say that before who wasn't a family member. It made her smile inside, and she found herself no longer hiding behind the umbrella as she gazed up at him. Of course, that wasn't the normal response to such a question, but she was curious as to why he would say something like that out of nowhere? Her eyes almost sparkled at the thought of having a friend in class. [b]"I-I hope we do, too!"[/b] A wide smile spread across her cheeks. Maybe this year would be different.

[b]"Should we head to the auditorium, then? We can meet our mentors!"[/b][/color]
