A/N: Hello agiain :) This chapter is a bit longer than the first. R&R please!

Chapter 2: Classes

Windy's eyes shot open as she heard the familiar sound of the alarm clock. Rolling over, she read 6:30 on the face of the clock. Immediately, she got out of bed and started with her morning chores. It was clear that she was a morning person. Putting on her new, crisp, school uniform; which consisted of a sailor shirt and a navy blue skirt that reached mid-thigh, she grabbed her key and headed out the door.

Windy once again jogged down the stairs and walked into the mess hall. The room was only half-full; the room buzzing with sleepy conversations. She walked slowly down the aisle, looking for a place to sit. Finally, she found a free spot at a table near the window. As she sat down, the girls talking there fell silent and turned towards her. Windy straightened and kept her usual face of composure and elegance. The girl sitting next to her, with her dark green hair in two large ringlets smiled gently at her.

"Hello." The girl said. She had a soft voice with an undercurrent of hardness. "I'm Earthy. What's your name?"

Windy allowed a small smile to grace her face. "Windy." She offered.

"I don't think I've seen you before. Are you new here?" Another girl spoke up. She seemed similar to Earthy in a way, although they couldn't be more different. This girl had long, wavy, brown hair that reached her waist, and kind brown eyes. "I'm Woody, by the way."

Windy nodded. "I just transferred here."

Again, a different girl spoke up. She had her hair done in two ringlets as well and pink in color. Her sky blue eye danced with happiness. "Well, welcome to Clow high! You can hang out with us, if you want. My name is Flower."

Windy's smile widened. "I would love that." She replied.

Earthly gestured to the last girl in their group. The girl had high side bangs and pale blue hair. Her face was partially covered the book she was reading. "And this is Silent. She can't speak, but loves to read." The girl nodded at her once before returning to her book.

The girls made conversation as they finished their breakfast. Earthy, who seemed like the leader of their little group, glanced at the clock.

"We should get going. There's only 10 minutes left before the opening ceremony starts. Might as well go early and get good seats."

Windy stood up and gathered her bags. Together, they made their way into the gym. Immediately, Woody chose a seat near the middle-front and everyone else followed suit. Seeing as they were early; Flower, who loved to gossip, started chattering away.

"I heard the guys this year are really cute." She giggled. "I hope I'm in the same class as Sword this year."

Woody shook her head. "I think Shield is cuter." She added; joining in on the conversation. "Or maybe Lock is better… I can't decide."

The crease in Windy's forehead was the only indication that she had no idea who they were talking about. Earthy quickly filled her in.

"Those three boys: Sword, Shield, and Lock are the most popular guys on campus. Sword, with his amazing sword skills and sharp, defined features, is by far the most popular out of those three. Shield is gentler, and is nice to anyone he meets. And Lock is a bit of a mystery. He usually keeps to himself, but his looks alone are enough to send any girl into a mush. Those three are always together. Everyone just calls them the trio."

Windy nodded; not that interested. She was more concerned about her studies. She glanced around the gym and absently noted that it was slowly filling up. 'I wonder if that boy from yesterday will be here?' she wondered.

They talked for a bit more until a young woman walked onto the stage followed by another man and woman. Slowly, the room hushed into silence. The woman, who was standing behind the microphone, gave them all a friendly smile.

"Hello everyone!" she greeted cheerfully. "It's nice to be back isn't it?" There were a few murmurs of agreement, but it was otherwise silent. "For those who do not know, I am Kinomoto Sakura, the principal of this school. Behind me is Daidouji Tomoyo, my best friend and Li Syaoran, my husband. These two are administrators of the school and are in and around all three sections of this Clow School, helping out."

Earthy leaned over and whispered, "Sakura-san is really nice. You'll love her."

Sakura kept talking. "This school was founded by Clow Reed; the greatest magician, and his death very unfortunate. As I'm sure you all know, boys are not allowed in the girl's dorm, and vice versa. Please go to your class after this assembly is over and do your best. Remember our school motto: Everything will be alright! And now with all the boring stuff aside, I hope we all have a great year!"

The room erupted in cheers. Clearly, Sakura was a much loved person around here. Slowly, the room began to clear out as students made their way to the exit and to their first class of the year. Flower bounced next to Windy.

"So, what's your first class?"

"I have…" Windy consulted her sheet of paper before responding, "Math."

Flower made a face. "I hate math…" she murmured. "I have Science first."

Woody came up behind them. "You only hate math because you're so bad at it." She teased. "Unfortunately, I have PE first."

"I have math first too." Earthy grinned. "Same class!"

Windy smiled in relief. "It'll probably take me a while to get used to this school."

"No worries!" Earthy exclaimed; looping her arm through hers. "You've got me here!"

The girls laughed as they parted their separate ways. Earthy gave her a quick verbal tour as they walked down the hallways.

"You're new, so you probably don't have your locker yet. It'll probably be sent to the dorm mother in the next few days." Earthy was explaining as they entered the classroom. Windy sat down at a seat with Earthy right beside her.

Suddenly, her tour guide fell silent. Windy looked over in concern and she her staring, almost glaring, at two girls at the centre of the room. The first girl had an impassive face; her cold blue eyes cutting through the group of both guys and girls trying to get her attention. She had long, dark blue hair; a couple inches longer than Woody's, and it was ruler straight. She sat with a rigid posture. The girl beside her was her opposite. Her flaming red eyes were wide with the range of emotions inside and she was glaring at anybody who dared come near her. Her hair was short, spiky, and crimson. She leaned over to whisper something to her friend and she nodded in agreement.

Windy glanced over at Earthy again, who was now staring at the chalkboard moodily.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

The girl jerked upright and shook her head. "It's them." She spat. "I can't believe I'm in the same class as them."

Windy said nothing, waiting for the girl to elaborate.

Finally, Earthy caved and sighed. "The first girl, the one with long hair; her name is Watery. The person beside her is Firey." She stopped talking and said nothing until the teacher came.

Windy sat in a confused daze. What was their relationship anyways? Why did Earthy hate those two? As the teacher dismissed them for their next class, Windy checked her schedule again. She had Science next.

"Earthly." She called. The girl stopped and looked at her. "Do you know where the 2nd Science lab is?"

"Oh, just go down that hallway. All the Labs from 1-5 are there. You can't miss it." Earthy gestured in the opposite direction. "My next class is this way. I'll see you later!"

Windy waved goodbye and started down the hallway. As she entered the classroom (praying to god that it was the right classroom) she sighed as she didn't see anyone she knew. Slipping in an empty seat, she once again began to organize her already organized binder. Soon, she felt someone occupy the seat next to her.

Looking up, she was startle to see a pair of kind, brown eyes.

"Oh! Thank you for yesterday." Windy said. "I'm Windy."

The boy smiled. He had a nice smile, she noted absently.

"It was nothing. My name is—"

Ending in a cliffhanger :) Can you guess who?
