You go to freshen up after your rounds with Zero, then run back down to help direct students to the auditorium for the orientation. When you finish, Zero comes back with a thumbs up, implying he has checked that all the dorms are empty. He holds the large door open then follows you into the large and lavish room. A sea of red velvet and pine theater seats sit in rows before a similarly themed stage. Headmaster Cross stands at a podium in the front center of the stage, clearing his throat.
You stand next to Zero, in the center of the back wall, beside a table covered in paperwork. You had rehearsed procedures for handing it out, but you were nervous nonetheless.

Headmaster Cross finally spoke up, quieting the throng of students in front of him.
"Hello and welcome to Cross Academy; Home of acceptance. " Waves of clapping and intermittent whistles responded from below him.
"Thank you, thank you. As you all know, I am Headmaster Cross, in charge of the school and your education. I started this school years ago with one purpose; To finally bring humans and vampires to an understanding, and prevent further needless war." More claps and whispers from below.
"As such, curriculum for sophomores and above will include both human and vampire history, as well as science. Freshman year will be spent adjusting to the school. As such, no-one, under any conditions, is to tell the freshmen day class of your identities. " Headmaster spent a hard glare on the class below, who let out a few mumbles of agreement.
"At the end of the second trimester, we will begin introducing vampire existence to human students."
"Until then... for the next few years you will have a partner in the day class. You are to be their friend and guardian, you are allowed to reveal the truth of your identity to them the summer of Freshmen year. "
Grumbles, moans, excited squees and a plethora of whispers echoed throughout the auditorium. You looked to Zero, wondering if he had known about this prior, as you sure hadn't. But his face remained emotionless and concentrated on the headmaster.
"You will be assigned this partner in the same packet that has your class schedule. This packet is on the back table beside our disciplinary committee. When I call your name, please rise to go retrieve it." You gulped, attempting to avoid the anxiety trying to rap itself in your body.
Zero glanced down at you to see how you were doing. He frowned then looked back up. Your heart dropped,thinking he was disappointed. But a second later you felt something on your head, Zero was ruffling your hair again, in his own weird way of comforting you.
He then pulled his arm back behind his back and proceeded to pretend nothing had happened.
"Mayota Abbio, Zotora Abcor, Kaites Ace..." Began the melodic drone of names, as students stood and turned to retrieve their papers. You handed each out one by one with Zero's help. By the time the next teacher got up to talk, you were tired and achey from a long day of greetings, rounds, and distributing paperwork. And it had taken a toll on your body.
Your knees got weak and your eyelids drooped. Zero looked down worriedly. As he noticed you falling asleep, he pulled you close so your head rested on the side of his ribs, and he propped you to where it looked like you were still attentive. He spoke after looking back up again.
"Geeze, if your going to do this then get me up earlier. But for now, get some sleep you dork." You nodded, letting yourself fall unconscious on his side.
