Glinda, Is it true you were her friend?
Tomoyo stood up; she'd already given the news to the citizens and was meant to be back in the city by now.
"I'm sorry I can't stay longer Chii." She smiled apologetically. The blonde girl smiled brightly and nodded.
"Chii hopes you are not going to be sad for the rest of the day." The girl spoke innocently as she normally did.
"I'll be fine Chii thank you for asking though." The witch in training smiled warmly back and got ready to leave when someone spoke from the crowd.
"Tomoyo weren't you his friend?!" An accusing tone filled the air as muffled gasps were exchanged between the bystanders.
The witch froze slightly she hadn't been expecting that. Although looking at the person now they did look like someone from the school. The dark haired girl sighed slightly she'd have to keep on the good side of the people and lie again.
Well-It depends what you mean by "friend". I did know her.
That is, our paths did cross. At school...
"I knew him yes…We shared a dorm back at school." Tomoyo paused seeing sceptically looks being passed around, "I wouldn't say we were friends though." She added quickly.
"Lame excuse!" Someone shouted from the back, it was proving hard for the girl to remain cheerful with so many shouting at her.
"It's not an excuse. You can ask anyone from my school year what I did to him on that party day." Tomoyo huffed hoping to make her point and not explain everything.
"Tomoyo…tell us about your school." One of the children called out. A request the witch couldn't deny.
It looked like she wasn't going to be getting to her next task until she'd told the tale. She made a note that next time she had to deal with town people she was calling in sick.
O HALLOWED HALLS AND VINE-DRAPED WALLS
THE PROUDLIEST SIGHT THERE IS (SIGHT THERE IS)
WHEN GREY AND SERE OUR HAIR HATH TURNED
WE SHALL STILL REVERE THE LESSONS LEARNED
IN OUR DAYS AT DEAR OLD SHIZ (DEAR OLD SHIZ)
OUR DAYS AT DEAR OLD...
The school was huge. Its white walls coloured with green vines from the plants now twisting around. It was a well respected school for turning out high society pupils and helping the students reach their full potential.
Several students were already dragging bags into the main hall where the meet and greet was going on. Most were muttering about students they already hated amongst dorm groups. Others were talking about the students yet to arrive at the school.
The head teacher was a woman named Yuuko, a well known friend of the famous wizard who lived in the giant emerald city. She was strict but also only accepted those who she believed who'd excel. Several rumours had started about how she could read minds of pupils and about the various punishments given.
OH-OH-OH-OH-OLD...
Tomoyo sat on top of a large pile of bags filled with various designing equipment. Her bags, and herself, were pushed into the hall by a family servant. Students milled around the well known girl who gracefully slid onto the ground.
"Tomoyo that's a wonderful outfit." One of the students commented as the girl made a small turn.
"I've been experimenting with some new designs." The dark haired girl replied.
Tomoyo had been to previous schools with many of the students now gathered around her. She made friends quickly and always picked out one person a year to become a project, she was currently searching.
"Hey you heard that lord is sending his two kids here." A nearby boy spoke up.
"Yeah I hear his son is a right mental case." Another replied from across the room.
DEAR OLD SHIZ-ZZZZ
All eyes turned on the arriving people. The lord carried some bags in and placed them on the floor. Two students walked in, one in a wheelchair the other keeping their head down.
"Look after your sister got it?" The lord snapped at the taller student.
"Yes father." was the reply.
The lord hugged the girl goodbye and strolled out without another word. Several mutterings and laughs started up.
"Hey that must be that loser we've heard about." A girl practically shouted across the room.
All comments went quiet as the head teacher walked into the hall. She glanced over every student seeming to ignore the various comments being passed around.
"I welcome you all. Now everyone get into your dorm pairs." Yuuko called out she turned to the girl in the chair, "You've got a certain room assigned young Sakura-chan."
The girl nodded and smiled up at the other student next to her.
"This is unfair!" Tomoyo shrieked as she realised who she was paired up with. "I cannot be paired with that thing! I demand another room!" She stomped her foot in anger.
"Yeah she can't be paired up with that dirty thing!" A pair of students agreed in unison.
The comments started flying around and Yuuko merely looked at the student who was still quiet. She knew what was coming next even if the pupils yelling didn't.
"Can you all just SHUT UP!" The blond boy yelled out covering his ears.
The pupils fell silent as various fixtures on the walls started flying off, most smashing on the floor. They took several steps away from the blond for fear of their own safety.
"I think pairing such students together will be a great idea." Yuuko clapped, obviously pleased by the show of magic. "As for that power of yours we'll get that sorted out after school times." The teacher smiled lightly.
"That can't be!" Tomoyo pushed past the groups in front of her. "I…I can't…" she trailed off as Yuuko cheerfully started directing students to their rooms.
The students began filling out and to their dorm rooms, merrily chatting amongst themselves.
"The name is Tomoyo and I don't want to hear you at all." The girl huffed glancing over at the mound of bags she had to get to the other side of the school.
"Fai is my name and I wasn't planning on it." The blond muttered as he watched the girl pull her bags out of the room.
Yuuko placed a hand on the blond's shoulder smiling slightly.
