Sammy rubbed sleep out of her eyes as she walked into the living room, she had learned a faster way to get to the bathroom and was already ready, something that would have shocked her family at home. She expected to see most of her friends out there like the previous morning and was surprised to only see Haley sitting alone on a couch.
"Where is everyone?" Sammy asked, yawning into her hand afterwards.
"They're all in the kitchen." Haley answered to the ground, not looking up at the older girl.
"Alright hun, what's wrong?" Sammy asked.
"Was I being preppy yesterday? After meeting Kevin, I mean." The smaller girl looked up at Sammy.
"You had your moments." Sammy said bluntly. "But it's alright, you're just excited about meeting a boy that's not gay." She poked two fingers together and winked, making Haley laugh at her odd gesture. "So when am I going to get the whole story about this 'Kevin' boy?"
"It's not that long of a story, we just talked and he's a really cool boy."
"Should I sing the song?" Sammy asked with a smirk.
"What song?"
"Haley and Kevin sitting in a tree." Sammy started to sing and she danced around her embarrassed friend. "K-I-S-S-" She stopped singing when she turned around and found herself face to face with Lance.
"I didn't mean to interrupt." Lance said. Sammy quickly turned around and face Haley.
"-I-N-G."
"First comes love." Lance continued.
"Then comes marriage."
"Then comes a baby in a baby carriage." The two began to sing together.
"That's not all, that's not all, here comes Kevin drinking alcohol."
"You're horrible." Haley muttered, her cheeks a soft pink.
"I missed something." Kevin chuckled as he walked into the room, only hearing the last part of the song. He was carrying two plates of food and he sat down next to Haley on the couch.
"Sammy!" JJ's voice was heard shouting from the kitchen. "Get your ass in here and eat before everything's gone!"
"I'm coming!" Sammy shouted back. "Now don't do anything I wouldn't do." She said to Haley and Kevin.
"That's a really short list." Haley stated.
"Love you too." Sammy chuckled and walked off towards the kitchen.
"You're a sword, right?" Lance asked Haley as soon as Sammy was gone.
"Yep." Haley responded, taking a plate from Kevin.
"And you're going to be her meister?" Lance asked Kevin.
"Looks like it." Kevin said and popped a grape in his mouth.
"Shit guys, we're going to be late!" JJ cursed.
The teens quickly grabbed their belongings and rushed out of the door. They walked fast for a little bit and then soon stopped caring and walked normally for the rest of the way.
"We never compared schedules." Sheyla mentioned as they reached the academy's large staircase.
"I guess we got a little distracted last night." Sammy said and pulled her schedule out of her bag along with the others.
"What are we doing?" Lance asked as he watched everyone group together.
"Seeing when we're together." Sammy answered the boy and took his schedule.
"We all have first period together!" Kyra exclaimed.
"And lunch." Hannah added.
"But those are the only times that we're all together." Michelle sighed.
"Me, Michelle, Haley and Lance have third period together." Sammy pointed to the 'weapons' class on the list.
"And the rest of us will be in the 'meisters' class." Paul stated.
"But what if one of us turns out to be a weapon?" Sheyla asked in a whisper to Sammy.
"Then we'll say we messed up." Sammy answered back.
"Does anyone else share any classes?" Haley asked.
"Me and Michelle have English together." Paul said.
"Is that it?" Kyra asked.
"Bummer." Hannah added.
"We all live together." Sammy said with a smile. "I think we'd all go insane if we together in every class."
"We were sane?" JJ asked and the group chuckled for a moment before going up the steps, having to run at the end to get inside of the classroom before the bell rang.
"At least I know who the new students are." A man stated.
"Holy shit." Michelle blurted out. The teens stood in shock and stared at the man who wore a lab coat, had stitches everywhere on his body and one large screw sticking out of his head.
"It's a good thing you came in when you did, if you were late. I would have to dissect you." The man said with a smirk.
"I don't like it." Paul squeaked and took a step back.
"Alright class, how about we learn about the new students?"
"How 'bout no?" Sammy suggested.
"Maka, come down here. I have a little assignment for you."
"Okay, Professor Stein." Maka got out of her seat and walked down towards the professor. "What do you want me to do?"
"Read his soul." Stein pointed at JJ.
"Me?" The thin boy pointed at himself.
"Get over here." Stein ordered and JJ looked at his friends before taking several steps forward. "Go ahead Maka and to any other meisters that wish to try their hands at reading souls, be my guest." Stein looked at the other new kids. "Go behind my desk and wait your turn." The teens waited a second before doing what they were told. deciding to listen to the scary looking man since he was their teacher after all. "Whenever you're ready Maka, tell me everything you can see."
"Okay." Maka closed her eyes for a second and opened them back up wide, like she had done when she was over at the house. Sammy and Sheyla shared a look before going back to watching their friend. "He's a meister...he can easily figure out how to get to places and has a great memory." Maka started.
"Anything else?"
"He's very...flamboyant?" Several students laughed and JJ's friends only nodded their heads in agreement.
"You can go sit in an empty seat. Next student." Stein pointed at Paul. The boy let out a yelp and slowly walked over to where JJ was as the other boy went to an empty seat that was surrounded by nine others. Paul's soul was read and apparently he was a weapon, a bat with spikes and has a soul that is not as flamboyant as JJ's. After Paul it was Michelle, whose soul said she was a weapon, chain with balls and she was a very compassionate person. Next was Haley; a sword and someone who's not afraid to speak her mind when needed to. Hannah went up and everyone discovered she was a meister that could read souls.
"You're joking?" Hannah asked.
"You're soul is very similar to mine." Maka stated.
"Did not see that coming." Kyra muttered.
"You're next." Stein said as he pointed at the girl. Kyra let out a whimper and was read. Everyone's jaw dropped when Kyra turned out to be a weapon, a sword, just like Haley. Kevin was called up next and he was examined as a meister that could sense when others are around without looking.
"That's cool." Kevin said and sat down with the others.
"How is she able to see all of this?" Sheyla asked.
"Hannah could probably explain when we get to her." Sammy said. Lance was called over and Maka said he was a lance and that he was hiding something.
"I've dyed my hair, nothing big. I was a ginger." The boy admitted and everyone laughed as he sat down. Sheyla was next and she stood in front of Maka, ready for this to be over with.
"She's a meister." Maka stated.
"Anything else?"
"I can't see anything else, she's just a meister."
"She's not just a meister." Sammy protested. "Shey is more than just a meister, she's a smart girl and the bravest chick I have ever met." She stated. "And if anybody thinks she's just some girl, then they're wrong. Dead wrong." Sheyla didn't say anything and walked off to a chair, only one remained for Sammy to sit.
"You're getting better with your reading Maka. I've seen the same thing as you." Stein complimented his student and Sammy let out a huff, disliking being ignored like that. She went to the spot where everyone else had stood and crossed her arms. "What does Sammy's soul say?"
"She's very brave, but she tends to act before she thinks." Maka looked very unconformable as she continued. "She's loud, cracks more jokes than necessary..."
"What else?"
"And she can't be used by a meister."
