Pyrrha's eyes scanned her clock, soft fingers traced through soft sheets. Time seemed all but frozen, 8:00PM, she swore that it was 8 the last time she looked. Biting her lower lip she rose from her bed, with gentle steps she made way to her window. "Tomorrow's the day…" Her pulse raced as the thought of meeting new people crossed her mind. She'd trained so hard today, all in an attempt to ease her ragged nerves, but so far it had proven to be ineffective.

With a click she unlocked her window, opening the glass pane. A brush of cold air filled her lungs as she stared at the broken moon above. Closing her eyes she began to pray. "Please… please don't let me be alone. I… I just want friends." Gentle tears trickled from her eyes, splashing against her curled hands.

She'd been alone for so long, in her drive to be the best that she could she'd driven everyone else away. "I just… I just want to meet someone, someone that wouldn't care about how strong I was…" With a sniffle she rubbed her eyes clear of tears. Looking down below she watched as people made their way through the street, strangers passing by and greeting one another. Friends going out to do things together, smiling and having fun with one another.

She heard rustling coming from the house next door, the one where she could simply reach over and touch the window, intrigue got the better of her as she peered into the shaded window. The light was on, and she could see three figures, all kids playing around and having fun. Though it looked like the smallest figure was the one doing most of the playing around. She felt her heart drop, she should have been more normal...

Taking another breath she made her way back towards her bed, once more she closed her eyes. Fatigue finally overcame her as she slowly wisped off to sleep.

Ring Ring

Her eyes fluttered open, vision blurred, she began to stur. Turning towards her alarm she noted the time, 5:00AM. It was time for her to get ready, time for her to start something new with her life. She wasted very little time, preparing herself she grabbed her already set uniform, an oriental styled design. Her heart pounded in her chest as she dressed, once done she made her way downstairs, her parents already waiting for her.

"You look beautiful Pyrrha." Her mother's words proved effective as they helped ease her anxieties.

"You're going to do amazing Pyrrha. And… and I swear that you'll meet people that'll love you like we do." She felt her father's arms wrap her into a tight hold, she hoped he was right. Hoped that she'd end up meeting people that cared for her just for her, people that weren't afraid of how strong she was, intimated.

Biting her lower lip again she nodded, unable to find her voice. "Come on Dear, need to get something in that stomach of yours, you're going to have a long day."

Nodding she took her seat, enjoying her simple breakfast. Her eyes glanced to the clock from time to time, it was getting closer and closer to the starting time.

Her parents had apparently noticed her unease for as soon as she stood up to take her dishes away she felt both of them wrap their arms around her.

"Remember Pyrrha, you're more than just your ability to fight, you're a wonderful and amazing woman. You'll find people that care for you, we promise you that. Maybe you'll even find a special someone."

Pyrrha simply nodded her head, soft sobs escaping her throat. She really hoped so, she didn't want to be alone.

As the time drew closer the three of them made their way out, opting to walk instead of taking their car they let a peaceful silence fall between them. Pyrrha was glad that the school was in Argus, it meant that she'd be able to stay with her parents instead of having to stay in the local dorm they shacked kids who lived away into.

"Alright, it's time…" She heard the hesitance in her father's voice. "We love you Pyrrha." Both her parents pulled her into another hug, one she greatly appreciated.

"You've got this."

She nodded into their touch, after a few minutes they released one another. Pyrrha bid her parents farewell as she made her way into the large building, the students gathering in the auditorium for the initial introduction.

Several people watched her as she entered, her anxiety flaring up at the judgemental glances she received. Feeling as if she was being drowned in a sea of negative emotions she made her way to the corner of the room choosing to be by herself.

Her attention was pulled towards the door as it slammed open, "WE MADE IT IN TIME!" A small orange haired girl screamed as she dragged two boys along with her.

"Nora! STOP STOP!" The Blonde of the trio pulled away from the orange girls grip. The other boy didn't say anything, instead he silently let himself be pulled along.

"Sorry Jauney!" The girl stopped her flustering, ignoring the stares of the people around her. Pyrrha felt an ounce of envy at the pit of her stomach, how easily this girl ignored those people around her and stayed true to herself.

Intriguingly she found herself unable to take her eyes off of them, she hoped they could be friends.

However, her world stopped, emerald met sapphires.
