Class One: Overview

[dawncascada]

Dawn wore her orange and black outfit and wrote her name on the board in neat cursive. She had cut her hair even shorter, though it was arguably messier now, and had adorned her desk with carvings of phoenixes. She was a nutty professor, for sure.

She was teaching Duel Monsters, and at the rate Ede Reyes was cranking out cards, the class would be fast-paced and challenging. She had packs of various sets recently released to the San Melina population on her desk as rewards for students who answered questions correctly. Working for Industrial Illusions' Academy had major advantages.

He walked into class with his bag over his shoulder and a book in his hands. He always seemed to be reading, the son of Dawn, and he probably wouldn't have come to this class... other then the fact that his mother taught it and she'd kill him if he didn't.

Syaoran Cascada wiped a white bang out of his eyes and nodded at Dawn with a smile. "Morning Mom." He said cheerfully. His family and those close to him were pretty much the only ones that he would give a smile and a cheerful greeting to. Everyone else, until he got to know them, he couldn't bring himself out of his quietness to greet in a friendly fashion.

He sat down at a desk. "So, I'm assuming that if I have trouble with this class I get private tutoring, right?" He asked teasingly as he sat down at a desk.

[daughterharada]

"Jesus Syaoran, do you have to be in all of my classes?!" Brandy commented sourly as she walked into class. Then she rolled her eyes. "Wait. Don't answer that, I don't wanna hear it." She looked over at Dawn. How the hell was she going to address her? They were in class, but Brandy's mom was a close friend of Linnis who was a close friend of Dawn, so they had met and she had always called her Dawn. She decided with another path.

"Yo Mrs Cascada." She said cheerfully as she sat down.

[dawncascada]

Dawn was hardly the man-hating type, but she'd be lying if she didn't say that she wasn't terribly fond of most males. Syaoram was the single exception. He was the single man in Dawn's life, and she liked it that way. She smiled at him, a warm and happy smile.

"Sy, if you have trouble in this class, I'd be shocked and awed. It's cards, not rocket science," she laughed lightly, "That's mroe Linnis' area."

She then gave a not to Brandy, "Morning, Miss Harada. Since you're here, I imagine your sister will saunter in in about five or so minutes."

[kayla]

Kayla came in, same fashion as her other classes: Hello Kitty back on her back and a white mini-bag in the shape of a anime cat head clutched to her chest and nervous. "Hello, Professor." She went to a desk and sat down. She was in a black skirt with a pink t-shirt under the uniform blazer(?). She had on tall bulky white boots with buckles.

[soncascada]

"I dunno Mom, with you teaching it." Syaoran lightly teased his mother. It was all in complete fun and games. Syaoran loved Dawn, and he loved Trance too, but he liked to tease them every now and then.

He looked over at Brandy and nodded at her in acknowledgement then went about his business.

[daughterharada]

((Kayla, it's described in the section talking about students. The blazer. XD I should draw it or something.))

"Yeah, if Piper isn't off being Piper." Brandy said with a wave of her hand. Her and Piper... they were a dynamic duo at this school. Fayt, the quiet one, had gone to the local high school instead of the Academy, on account that she didn't know whether she wanted to. So her and Piper were the only two Haradas pretty well known at the Academy.

She looked over at Kayla and waved. Kayla was her cousin through Mom Rei, and her brother Richard was awesome. Too bad he was in college now.

[kayla]

((sorry; my ability to remember things is worse than a candy necklace (if you don't get that one, watch some cartoons)))

Kayla waved back with a smile. "Hi, Brandy."

[daughterharada]

((XD I watch cartoons and I still don't get that.))

"Whatcha up to?" Brandy asked as she got out a pencil (surprisingly enough, even though she was prideful, Syaoran's pencil) and a binder.

[kayla]

((Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy))

"Nothing much... I'm thinking about writing Ric today." She started to set up her desk area with a smile. "Um... do I look halloweeny?" She stood up and motioned to the ORANGE blazer and black pants.

((haha, I do know >>))

[noss]

"Kinda."
Noss walked in with a smile and took a seat beside Kayla, as usual. She was a bit concerned about the letter to Ric, and hoped that Kayla would omit certain recent events what would make the silver-haired boy come to San Melina to end Noss' short life.

The expression look what the cat dragged in would fit as the doors swung open. Hiro had made his way down the steps as he gave a careless stomp as he only had a tablet in hand and a set of two pencils pocketed. Knowing him, they weren’t for learning purposes seeing that he barely had interesting in this class, but between this class and history, he rather fall asleep half way through it than the very beginning.

Without a single word of hello and keeping his eyes slightly to a close, he made his way to a seat as he moved behind a desk and easily sat down and slapped his tablet onto the surface and took one pencil from his pocket. He had slumped forward as his dark hair relaxed along his shoulders and neck as he simply gazed towards the teacher in wait as if his eyes were just saying, “Commence!” since he wanted to obviously get the period over with.

[daughterharada]

"Sure, I suppose, but all the second years look like that." Brandy said with a grin. "Whoever designed those uniforms really had a bad sense of style."

Somewhere, someplace, the designer was cringing for reasons that she couldn't explain.

[kayla]

Kayla's eyes started to water. "I look halloweeny..." She sat down, bottom lip trembling softly.

[darren]

As Hiro had sat there silently, he had thought of this a chance to knock over the pins seeing that Kayla already had lined them up. He had lifted his right hand curling it as he coughed up a fake clear of the throat obviously as he commented secretly.

“AhemPumpkin!cough!”

He had said obviously throwing a nickname into the wind as he sat there smiling innocently with a smirk curving to his right cheek.

[daughterharada]

"What's wrong with pumpkins, jerk?" Brandy said with a glare as she looked at Hiro, daggers within her eyes.

"She's a very cute pumpkin. Leave her alone."

[darren]

“Yeah…whatever.” Hiro had said grimly as he leaned forward with his fingers bridging his hands and he hid his expression on his face behind them. He had stared forward as he was so unconcerned. He didn’t say much, nor was he very much carrying about getting into little spats with others. It seemed like his first year was going to fill like some boarding school.

[kayla]

Kayla felt a few tears come down her face. "Was that a fat joke?" She whimpered.

[darren]

Hiro turned his attention towards Brandy as he had saw Kayla. “Well? You are the one to say she was a cute pumpkin.” he had said trying to dump the guilt trip onto the girl. Sure he did say pumpkin, but she did after all agree with the pumpkin clause in some way.

Shrugging, Hiro unbridged his hands as he had gave a slight toss trying to play innocent. "I wasn't applying anything. I was just thinking of Halloween."

[kayla]

Kayla looked at him, sniffling. "S-so I don't look like... a p-pumpkin?"
