Ashley stood impatiently in a large crowd of kids around her age waiting for the academy's doors to open. She eyed all the guys who were also standing around also waiting. She grumbled to herself and tapped her foot on the ground, telling herself that standing in this crowd full of boys couldn't really be helped. Ashley angrily sighed through her nose and began pushing her way through the crowd, harshly shoving the guys she passed as she made her way to the front. She wasn't a very patient person. Making her way through the mass of children, the doors began to open. Everyone began flooding inside of the gothic-looking academy, including Ashley. She made notes to herself of all the boys who touched her. She would have to deal with them later. Inside the school, there were long, wooden tables that they sat at inside of the chairs that would normally be seen inside of an auditorium. Ashley carefully chose her seat, somewhere around the middle of the capacious room. In the front of room, stood a woman with grey hair pulled into a tight braid with very demanding authority. Ashley respected her immediately. When the huge doors closed, she sat straight up and watched her with wide eyes, becoming very eager to meet her as she spoke. Ashley nodded to the things she said and cheered when she was done speaking. Leaning to the girl next to her, Ashley smiled and said, "Isn't she great? I'm glad she's our leader and not some putrid [i]guy[/i]," she said, lightly elbowing the girl. "Am I right?" Ashley rhetorically asked.
