Author's Note: Hello all, and welcome once again to another installment of Glynda's Diary! Now with 100% more supermodels – that's professional supermodels – because if we went by 'potential' or 'might as well be' supermodels, then really it's only like 10% more… If that… Hmm… perhaps I' overthinking this… Anyway, enjoy the chapter, and as always, I do appreciate any feedback!

Entry # 53: Age 17


Dear Diary,

You know how it is when you meet someone you like, totally idolize, and then it actually turns out that they're a massive jerk in real life? Yeah, well I'm kinda going through that right now… You see, I didn't really pay attention during the post-initiation ceremony because I was distracted by a combination of trying to decide when the best time to go talk to Ozpin-sensei would be and the fact that Yuko was rather persistently IN MY LAP the whole time, so imagine my surprise when I learn that LIA FREAKING NIKOS IS ENROLLED AT BEACON! There really are not lengths to which the girl won't go for good publicity I guess… She (Lia Nikos, that is) Olympia Malachite, Some Miyazaki girl from that 'Japan' country people keep transferring here from, and this STUPIDLY hot guy named Diamuid make up Beacon academy 'prettiest team,' Team MODL… I think I've said all that I need to about Lia in the past when I've discussed her photos on magazine covers in a COMPLETELY SEXUALLY DISINTERESTED FASHION, But seriously, they're ALL THAT FREAKING HOT! Well okay, maybe that Malachite girl wears a bit too much makeup, but seriously, it's like a bomb went off and sexy's all that's left!

Not that I find her attractive or anything…

Funnily enough, Lia can't actually fight – 'that kind of menial labor is lancer's job' – she said with an irritatingly dismissive look on her face, which only serves to affirm my impression that she's only here chasing the good publicity Chieri and the rest of the combat-pop stars got. The rest of the team is a different story though… would you believe that Olympia fights with stiletto heels? and that her NAIL POLISH is infused with Dust? Well it is… Diamui – You know what, I'm just gonna call him Lancer because he's hot and therefore nothing else matters, and because he's a spear fighter with a difficult name to pronounce, OKAY!? Finally that Miyazaki chick claims that she's kendo trained… well… she's not very good at kendo, per se, but she is VERY GOOD at violence… You really wouldn't expect it actually, because when she's not beating someone to a bloody pulp she's actually so pretty she sparkles… Who'd have thought that was even possible? Then again, I didn't think Lia Nikos would be a colossal bi-

Clam down Glynda… just because Mom isn't around doesn't mean we have to stoop to such vulgarities…

But yeah, apparently the Headmaster hand-waved Lia's not being an actual fighter and everything because her agent threw a bunch of money at him – well that or since she summoned Lance via ritual scroll they're kind of a package deal… Disillusioned and bitter former (NOT) fangirl that I am, I prefer to think it was the former.

You see, when we – and by we I mean Cinder, Yin, and myself (we used to read her beauty tips religiously in Mistral Monthly) – approached her to say 'hi, we're big fans of yours' you know what she did? She took one look at us and, gave us a big smile and a hug for everybody to see and then whispered into my and Cinder's ears that, and I QUOTE: "You stupid COWS have NOTHING on me!" WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL!? At first I didn't get it – I was too shocked for words – but I stared at her as she freaking swaggered away and something dawned on me… It seems photo-shop has been VERY KIND to Lia Nikos…

SO in short, today's moral lesson is that I, Glynda Goodwitch, am hotter than a supermodel and she sees me as a threat.

Smugly burning all my copies of Mistral Monthly,

Glynda

P.S. I know like, fifty girls who are prettier that Lia Nikos in person anyway! And one of then doesn't even have a pulse! Wait… that came out wrong…
