Serenity's POV (Because it's soooo easier)

"Come on Serenity it's not that bad." Keira said as she packed up her stuff.

"But I wanted to stay with you longer, who knows who this Max Ride is like. I just don't want to be victim to having a snappy roommate." I whined.

"I told you Songbird, I'll visit you no matter what! At least now you won't get in trouble for me having Alphonse." Keira said petting the kitten. "I would prefer getting in trouble if I could still be your roommate. You're like, the only person who wants to be my friend other than the little kids." I said.

"But you know you can always make friends with Max." Keira said finishing her packing. Now my room was clean…

Keira closed her suit case, picking Alphonse off the bed. I wanted to keep her from going but she wanted to be dormed with her sister Nikki Camden, who was in the Cyan Dorm, the one that allows pets.

"See ya." I said my voice showed I was clearly upset. Keira gave me a hug before saying good bye. She left, and the room began very quite as Keira had always kept music on as background sound.

I sat down on my bed, trying to figure out if having three students in a dorm was possible.

"Uh, hi."

I jerked my head up to see Max standing at the door. In her hands was barely a quarter of the stuff Keira had. Keira had a whole lot more stuff compared to this girl.

"Oh, sorry. You can come in; it is your dorm after all. By the way name's Serenity." I said.

Max nodded coming into the dorm sitting down on her bed. She looked like she deserved a nice bath; her clothes were pretty dirty, along with her blonde hair.

"I know it's not much." She turned to me still in a slightly silence mode, "But you might get use to it. If you come with me we'll get your uniform, then you can get cleaned up and get settled." I said.

"Uniform? Oh great I didn't know we get uniforms." Max groaned. Uniform was a must until after dinner, when students were allowed to wear what they wanted.

Max put her stuff down as we went off to the tailor Mr. Edwards. I pointed out where different classes were until Max spoke up.

"Ah where are we going?" Max asked.

"Oh we're going to Mr. Edwards, the school tailor. Most people say that he got the job only because he wants to see girls in their bras and underwear. Though we have to go see him about your uniform." I answered.

Max looked suddenly uncomfortable, also slightly frightened. "Max you okay?" I asked.

Max nodded, "peachy."

Max's POV

I was going to have to take off my shirt to get my uniform? This was not good. Our cover would be blown.

The Flock and I figured settling down in a boarding school would give us the lie-low education. Well my mom did say that we should get the education we needed also, along with the Oh-Great –Annoyance the Voice.

'How am I going to hide my wings? Oh I'm in a great situation now!' I thought. Note the sarcasm. And yes you heard right, wings; if you haven't yet read the books, please I'm not going to go into an introduction now.

Serenity though didn't ask many questions. She had noticed my panic but hasn't said anything since I spoke.

We kept walking until Serenity pulled me into one of the doors; inside was a whole bunch of racks with clothes, a table with a young man in his twenties was sitting playing on his DS with his feet on the table.

"Mr. Edwards?" Serenity said. The man jumped up, placing his DS down on the table in the same motion. He looked startled but his face softened when he saw Serenity.

"Songbird! Long time no see. So I'm betting this is the new student Max Ride. Ariel, Theodore and Nick have already been here. They were quite a funny crew, especially that Ariel girl." Mr. Edwards said his dark eyes shining.

Most of the Flock had already been here! How did they hide their wings? Also what was Mr. Edwards talking about? Songbird, hmm.

Mr. Edwards got to work measuring my legs arms, shoulders, and hips while Serenity or Songbird was writing down the measurements.

"Okay, I'm going to have you take off your shirt for the next bit." Mr. Edwards said rubbing his curly brown hair. Serenity glared at the man, "Your sick you know that." She snapped.

Maybe I could find a way not to take off my shirt. But nothing came to mind, so slowly I toke of my shirt waiting for the gasps. But nothing happened; I could feel the tape measure on my back. I looked over my shoulder biting my lip to keep from screaming.

My wings were gone!

I could see the strap for my sports bra, the tape measure in Mr. Edwards' hand, but no white with brown speckled wings.

What in the name of Whitecoats was going on!?
