AN: OK, I'm sorry. But my teachers are actually making me work this year. Well, I'm ahead on my english, if I finish my social studies report, I'll be theoretically far enough ahead to devote som time to my writing. As it is, the rest of today, I'll type, type, type! I have no idea where this is going, I hope this chapter is still interesting.

*1st person, Ariadne*
I've always been a fairly early riser, and I crept out quietly so I wouldn't disturb August. Not many other people were up and about yet, but I went down and ate breakfast. Only two people were in the cafeteria, so I went over and asked if I could join them.
They quickly agreed and moved over for me. "I'm Ariadne, nice to meet you."
"Hi, I'm Mia, earth magic, and this is my friend, Chris, spirit. We're roommates."
I blinked. "Huh?"
"We've discovered that the first two things people always ask are name and magic category."
"Oh, I'm a spirit, too." The girl introduced as Chris was a couple inches shorter than me. She had wavy brown hair and blue-green eyes. She wasn't eating, just drinking a glass of milk.
The louder girl, Mia, was tall, with short black hair. It was the same style as Uranus's, cowlick and all. Her eyes were a suprising shade of pale green. She was working her way through a bowl of gereal and a slice of toast.
I was hungry, so, leaving my coat at the able, I went up to the counter where all the breakfast stuff was set up and picked my way down the line. I picked out six doughnuts, a bowl of oatmeal, and a large hunk of some appetizing-looking bread.
Chris and Mia gaped at me when I came back with my load. "You're not going to eat all that are you?" Chris said nervously.
"Mmph, Ihn hunry" I said through a mouthful of bread.
Their mouths didn't close, as I proceeded to polish off the food in record time.
"Gee," said a sarcastic voice from the doorway, "Maybe you could actually beat the queen in an eating contest." The three of us looked up to see Sailor Mars herself in the doorway.
"Ummmmm..." I said, unsure of the correct response. "I thought you guys all went to school now."
"The queen and I both took home fake notes, saying we're going to school here."
"Oh," I said, weakly.
August came down rubbing her eyes. "Oh, Ariadne, I was wondering where you were."
"Guys, this is August, also spirit magic. August, this is Chris, and this is Mia."
"Nice to meet you," everyone said at once, sending me into fits of giggles.
"She had too many doughnuts," I heard Mia whisper to August.
"Well, P-chan, would you like to go shopping?" I blinked at the nickname P-chan, a reference to the black piglet in Ranma 1/2.
"Well, I'm not too big on shopping, but I have been meaning to stop by the bookstore."
Everyone face-faulted, except for August, who had already been through my collection of books with a fine tooth comb.
***********************************************************
After I bought five books rather than one at the book shop, we went through the rest of the mall. I splurged and bought a couple of mangas, then the four of us went into the clothes shop and killed time, trying on clothes we had no interest in buying. In the clothing store we ran into another two girls wearing the SIT uniform.
The first girl gave her name as T.A., saying she disliked both of her names, and her magic as wood. She had medium legnth brown hair, green eyes, a pert nose, and wore glasses.
The second girl gave her name as Kelsey, a fire student. She was a real looker, with dark skin, and almond-shaped eyes a deep chocolate color. Her hair was long, black, and straight, and shined. It was the hair I'd always wanted.
Until twelve, we wandered around together. I stupidly got talked into promising Kelsey I'd borrow a skirt (a skirt!) from her for the next formal occasion. {Author makes gagging noises in the background.}
And so started my first day.
