Erik sat quietly at his desk. His eyes darted back and forth as he drummed his fingers agianst it. A neverous habbit of his. Feelings over came his being as he sat there looking around the classroom. Fear? Dread? Need? Anxioty? He couldn't tell. He was one of the few in class, since most, were out talking to their friends and would come in late or before the bell rang.

He wished to god that Madame Giry, his guardian since his mother abandoned him, had continued to home school him. He wore his half mask and cape, which was deffinately agianst the dress code, but the teachers knew of his disfiguration and knew not to question him on it.

At this time students began to pile in the room. Laughing. Smiling. They were happy where he was dreadfully scared and alone. The bell rang as the students sat down and Erik, for the first time, noticed no one sitting around him. It was that at this moment he thought he felt his heart sink straight to his ankles.

The teacher walked to the front of the class. She wore a weird sweater and her hair was up in a bun, but it didn't look as nice as Madame Giry's. "Good morning students." She said to get a murmur in return. "I can see i have a quite...lively class today." She announced and looked in Erik's direction.

She was about to speak when the door flew open and two girls ran in. Erik was sitting closest to the door and jumped about three feet i nthe air in surprise as they came in. "Sorry Mrs. Brantly! Principal had to talk to us." one of the girls said as they took some seats.

Oddly enough Erik realized they had sat near him. A blue haired girl next to him, and the black/gold haired girl infront of him. The teacher, Mrs. Brantly, cleared her throat and began to speak agian. "As i was going to say, before i was interupted, we have a new student in our class today." She said pointing to Erik and he stood up shyly. "His name is Erik and i will not tolerate any fuss over his arrival. I know how, excited, you all get when a new student joins us." She said and opened her book.

The blue haired girl was the first to talk to him in a quiet and reserved tone. "Hi." She said, which made him jump slightly not hearing what the teacher said.

He looked over at her questionably blinking. 'Was she talking to me?' He thought to himself as he saw her looking at him.

Her features tense, like she was ready for him to brush her off as a bother. "Hi, my name is Desri." She said holding out her hand.

Erik looked at her hand as if it were a thing so mysterious and wonderous. Like he had never been offered a handshake before. She puleld her hand back after a minute and looked down at her desk feeling embarrassed. 'Why did i just do that?' She thought blushing furiously getting angry at herself.

Erik was about to apoligize for being rude and not accepting the handshake when a loud smacking noise erupted throughout the room. He jumped and looked around to see the teacher next to him. A book on his desk now and she looked at him amused. "Here is your book for this class." She said going back up to the front of the room. "I suggest you turn to page 247."

He hastily turned the pages of his book not wanting to get anymore un-needed attention towards himself. After the teacher began to talk agian he looked over at Desri. "Um..Sorry for being rude." He stated quietly.

Desri looked at him and shook her head. "No problem, could i maybe see your Schedule" She asked looking at her book still not really wishing to embarrass herself more.

He nodded even though she couldn't see the gesture and slid the paper, with the unfortunate scheduling of his life at this building, over onto her desk discretely.

She scanned over it and picked up her pencil starting to circle some of the classes. Desri then looked over it agian after she had sat her pencil down and handed the paper back to him. "Those are all the classes we have together." She said quietly as the teacher stopped talking and gathered up multiple papers that she soon began to pass out to the tired looking students.
