Since the short time she had spent at Han China Academy, Anon had come to notice quite a few things from her spot on the sidelines as a silent observer.
The first observation was that everybody had a clique they belonged too. Even the teachers. But she supposed that was the result of going to an elitist school for the elitists. There were the preps, the jocks, the nerds and geeks, the thugs, and the staff. But despite the well defined roles for their small community, there was bickering within the ranks and interacting with other groups.
For instance, there was the staff who didn't always eat or communicate with each other.
Forth year's principle Sima Yi—formally vice principle of second year—usually only mingled with his two sons and a few other coworkers such as Zhuge Dun, Deng Ai, and lead doctor Guo Huai.
Similarly, year two's principle Cao Cao prefers to spend his time with the history teacher Xiahou Dun, soccer coach Xiahou Yuan, baseball coach Zhang Liao, even electrician and janitors Cao Ren and Jia Xu and not venture out of his comfort zone.
First year's principle Liu Bei usually spent his time with counsellor Zhuge Liang, Chinese history teachers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. But he was more willing to mingle with year three's principle and his friends.
Likewise, principle Sun Jian was a very inviting and vibrant individual who loved to interact with anybody, much like his son: Sun Ce.
While Sun Ce was very much like his father in the sense of being a very friendly and overall nice guy, he usually didn't venture out of his respective year. Oddly enough, despite being part of HCA's boxing team, he could usually be found with head of the marching band, Zhou Yu—hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge—or in Year three's* student rep. room with the student body representatives: Sun Quan and Sun Shang Xiang.
Not to say every other person at HCA were elitist assholes with their heads stuck so far up their butt that they couldn't breath. Well... with the exception of years four and one's student representatives. Cao Pi had inherited his father's anti-social behaviour and usually never interacted with anybody but his queen bee girlfriend, Zhen Ji. Sima Shi and Wang Yuanji—if not more so—were just as rude and snobbish except people were more willing to forgive them. Something about this position as forth years or something to that affect. Or perhaps it was Sima Zhao's fatuous disposition and his relation to Shi that helped them save face.
Most of first year students were very kind and well organized—despite the confusion between who was their student rep. While it was clear that Liu Shan was their rep.—and was recognized as so by the other members of that year—most people went to the vice rep. Zhao Yun. This left most new students and outsiders to their tight-knit community disoriented when there was a school event.
These were just some of the many things Anon had observed in her short few months. She had noted so many observations that she had even started her own personal diary of the day to day life at HCA. One that she was just dying to share.
