Do you believe in magic?
By: Sinz
Sinz: Wow. Didn't think I'd come back but summer's here and boredom is killing me. Sorry for not updating for like a year? Haha, yes I am sorry. Well here goes for session 2.
Session 2: Mess hall madness!!
Cross and Chris ran, ran for their dear lives. They ran for many reasons, one being they had been foolish enough to attack a teacher here at Cairsept, on their first day too! Another reason for which they ran, was fear of the punishment the teacher would give them, sure in a normal high school, you may get detention, maybe a call to your parents, but this was no ordinary school. And who knew what mad concoction the teacher they had attacked had in store for them. This WAS a magic school after all, Chris and Cross shivered at the thought of the punishment that awaited them if they got caught. Finally and probably the main reason being, the teacher who they had so foolishly attacked was screaming mad as she chased them, but then again… Who wouldn't run from an angry teacher, especially one who knew magic? And so they ran through the crowd, ran from the angry teacher, ran from the unthinkable punishment that awaited them, and ran for their dear lives.

Jesh sighed at his foolish friend, here they were at the mess hall, and already Aramin had begun going after every girl he had laid his eyes upon. Already, he had been yelled at, slapped, not to mention soaked, courtesy of the frost mage he had "supposedly" saved from her brother. Jesh could only wonder why Aramin did the foolish things he did, but if Aramin didn't do the things he did, Jesh supposed life would be pretty boring, he only wished Aramin and Chris could make a little less trouble. Speaking of Chris, Jesh wondered what had happened to him, and then he saw him, he and the fire mage he had shocked, both ran into the Mess hall at an alarming rate. As if the two were being chased by someone…
"Jesh! Aramin! Quick! Hide me!" Chris said, out of breath as he reached where his friends were sitting.
"Hide you? Why? From what?" Jesh asked, though later he knew he'd regret asking.
"I have no time to answer your silly questions now mom!" Chris replied, trying to catch his breath.
"Was that fire mage THAT tough?" Aramin asked, taking a break from hitting on the girls to the table next to them.
"What?! N-No! From that!!" Chris replied pointing to the door, before ducking underneath the table, pulling his cloak over himself, as if it'd make him invisible. Jesh and Aramin quickly looked at the mess hall door, upon looking, Aramin's lips twitched into a smile, as Jesh looked like he was about to cry.

Sephie sat at the far end of a table, away from the chatter. She peered into her bag and pulled out the book Cross had given her, before he went off to chase the thunder mage who had attacked him. She looked at the book, which was, judging from the condition, quite an old book. The book had no title, instead, on the cover; there was a picture of what seemed to be a flying ship. Intrigued, Sephie was about to turn to the first page when she caught sight of Cross, hiding behind a large pupil a few tables over. Wondering what was going on, she looked towards the door, and found out the answer.

Pope was having a hard first day; he had lost his journal, making his homeroom teacher angry at him. He knew no one here at Cairsept, and now there was a fire mage who was hiding behind him, when he asked why and what he was hiding from, the fire mage pointed towards the door, and replied, "You're a big guy! You could hide a guy like me!" Pope did not like how he emphasized big, and when he told him to go away, the fire mage stubbornly shook his head. Being the peaceful guy he was, Pope decided to let the fire mage be. Still…he was quite annoyed at him, but hey, at least he had someone to kind of talk to.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cross sighed a breath of relief, he had barely managed to find a hiding place. Here he was, crouching low, behind a large earth mage, who, to his surprise had not moved to a different table. So engulfed in his thoughts, about many things, he had almost not heard the question the earth mage asked, which was, "So…What's your name?"
"The name's Cross, and I thank you for not moving away. What's yours?"
"I'm Pope. And you're welcome. So what exactly are you hiding from again?"
"Haven't you looked at the door yet?"
Upon hearing the reply, Pope turned towards the door, to see an angry teacher, her clothes singed, and the expression on her face was that of an angry bull in a sense.
Turning back to Cross, he simply replied, "Oh. That."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris finally finished recalling what had happened to both Aramin and Jesh. With an annoyed look he said, "There. Are you happy now mom?" Referring to Jesh, who had put his face in his hands and mumbled, "I can't believe…that you actually attacked a teacher."
"Oh, he did alright, and might I say, you and that fire fellow did quite a number on her!" Aramin grinned, as he and Chris tried to stifle a laugh.
"This is NOT a laughing matter! She's so angry, now she's checking each table!" Jesh snapped, as Aramin and Chris stopped their sniggering. A look of panic appeared on Chris' face, "What do I do!?" he asked, Aramin merely shrugged his shoulders and began to think of some way to get his friend out of the mess he had created for himself.
"Go to her and apologize, she'll see you're man enough to take punishment and be lenient on you. And since I don't see that fire mage anywhere, it'll mean you'll be the first to go up to her, so your punishment won't be as severe as his will."
"Are you MAD, Jesh? She'll surely kill me!" Chris replied with a look of disbelief of what Jesh had said.
"Oh come on, how bad could it-" Before Jesh could finish, an angry yell interrupted him, and got hold on everyone in the room.
"I PROMISE YOU TWO, WHEN I FIND YOU TWO, YOUR PUNISHMENT'S WILL BE SO SEVERE, YOU'LL HAVE WISHED YOU NEVER CAME HERE."
"Oh." Jesh said, not bothering to finish what he had said before the angry teacher yelled out.
"I already wish I wasn't here." Chris whined as he pulled his cloak over his head.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"She's checking the tables now." Pope informed Cross, who was thinking up ways to get out of this mess. So far, apologize and show you're man enough to take punishment was out. Blame it on the other guy was also out. Going to another room was not an option seeing as he could not get out without her noticing him, and for the fact that all pupils must remain in the mess hall. Sighing, Cross tried to think of other options he had. It would seem that he did not have many options and he would get caught…unless…A mischievous grin slowly crept up to Cross' face as his miscreant mind came up with a plan that was so crazy it might just work. After all…if everyone got into trouble, that meant his punishment might not be so severe…that or he'd get expelled from Cairsept. But alas, the mischievous side of Cross finally took hold of him as he conjured a ball of flame in his hands….
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What we need is a distraction mate!" Aramin said to Chris, who was all ears.
"Just how can we make a distraction without getting into trouble? I mean it's bad enough SOMEONE created trouble ON their FIRST DAY!" Jesh hissed at both, but referred mainly to Chris.
"Well…maybe we don't have to." Aramin said, his eyes focused on the Cross who was tossing a ball of flame in his hand. Though no one was paying attention to Cross, probably because of the teacher who was searching table to table, Aramin kept his eyes on Cross, wondering what he was up to, after all, the teacher was just a table away from spotting him. A smile formed on Aramin's face as he found out what Cross was going to do.
"I don't know about you two, but you know what? I'm beginning to like that fire fellow more and more…"
"What're you talking about?" Chris asked, bewildered at what Aramin had said, wasn't he supposed to be thinking up a way to get him out of this mess. Spotting Cross and the teacher who was nearing him, Chris too smiled, a wild smile as he said, "Oh…Oh no…You don't think…Oh this is going to be rich!"
Jesh, who was busy trying to think up a way out of this mess, took a break from thinking and looked over in Aramin and Chris' gaze. Putting two and two together, he too focused on Cross, saying, "No…No one's crazy enough to…He won't…He can't…Who would be so insane as to-" But once again Jesh was cut off by a loud yell, that was the distraction that all three of them were just looking for.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"MAGIC FIGHT!!!!" The voice cried out, unbeknownst to most of the pupil's as well as the angry teacher, who had sharply turned where the voice was emanating from, only to see a fire ball heading straight for her, as it exploded into tiny embers onto her hair. The teacher shrieked as her hair caught on fire. She shrieked for many reasons. She shrieked, for all around her the pupils began to cast their spells against each other. She shrieked, because she was in the cross fire. She shrieked for order, yet over the sounds of the spells, she could not be heard. She shrieked for her hair was on fire. And she shrieked, because it was a mess hall madness. The teacher continued to shriek, she could not believe this was happening, right on her first day at Cairsept too! She continued to shriek angrily as she tried to stop the madness, but could not.
"WHY ME?!" she yelled out angrily.
The madness continued for a good while, the teacher trying to pull the pupils away, but ended up getting hit by their spells. Finally, as it looked like the madness was unstoppable, a loud voice bellowed into the room and everyone stopped what they were doing as they turned straight towards the door, where a lady stood. She wore a long colorful robe and a monocle in her left eye. She had long purple hair and a friendly smile on her face.
"So, I see you've started the games without me! Did I make you wait that long?"
