Petal was packing up for her return to Alfea. She'd be starting her sophomore year in three days, and she believed in being prepared. Just as she grabbed her last text book to put into her trunk, a small notebook fell off the shelf. The front cover proudly declared it to be: Petal's Alfea Diary, Year One.
Petal smiled and picked up the book. She didn't have anything else she needed to do right now, so she might as well relive last year. She sat down on her bed and opened the book.

Dear Diary,
Tomorrow I go to Alfea! (something scratched out) I guess I'm just a little scared. It's my first time attending an all fairy school, and I'm not sure I can do it. I only learned how to transform three years ago, and I'm still not very good at some spells. I hope nobody laughs at me. After all, I'm just the fairy of flowers!
Love, Petal.
Petal smiled again. She'd been so young. How big a change that one year had made. She kept reading.

Dear Diary,
Alfea is huge! There must be hundreds of fairies here! Miss Faragonda seems nice, but Miss Griselda scares me. I hope I don't do anything wrong! I really like the dorm rooms here. They say we're allowed to change them however we want. I'm going to put a flower garden by the window! My room mate is nice, although she doesn't say much. Her name is Arithma, and she's the fairy of math. Maybe she can help me with that. I've never been much good at math. There are two more rooms in the area, although one of them is a single. Princess Stella of Solaria is in the single. She's a little strange. The other two girls are Amane, the fairy of rain, and Passa, the fairy of birds. Amane seems nice. She even promised to help me set up my flower garden! Passa's okay I guess, but she's very noisy. I'm glad I don't share a room with her. Classes start tomorrow, wish me luck!
Love, Petal.
Petal laughed. Yes Stella had been strange. Fortunately, that problem had resolved itself. She kept reading.

Dear Diary,
I'm sorry I haven't written this week. It's been so busy. Alfea is so big that I sometimes get lost trying to find my next class. I really like Professor Wizgiz's transformation class. It's like watching flowers bloom. I'm not at all happy with the self defense class, and not just because Griselda is teaching it. I doubt the witches we're supposed to be defending ourselves against are anywhere near as mean as she is! I did like Professor Palladium's class, but my favorite class has to be Miss DuFour's potions class. It's so much fun making new things! Tomorrow I'm going to visit Magix with Amane and Passa, now that we've finished our homework. Stella went today (I'm not sure when she plans to do her homework), and Arithma wanted to stay here to work on something, so they won't be coming with us.
Love, Petal.
P.S. Passa is only noisy during the day. At night she's quieter than I am! I'm glad. That way Amane can get some sleep!
Petal remembered that trip to Magix. After all, who doesn't remember meeting their best friend?
A/N: So, a normal year at Alfea. All sorts of exciting adventures await! Homework! Classes! Tests! Friends! And maybe a little romance too, if I come up with a love interest for Petal and/or the other girls! Yep, all sorts of excitement.
By the way, Amane means water in Berber, and Passa is a modified version of the word sparrow in Italian. I happen to speak neither. Please don't shoot me if I messed either one up.
