Tay walked out of her first class, transfixed on her next one: gym. She couldn't help but speculate what this class called "gym" was going to be like. The description of the course was so baffling she couldn't help but apply for it with it's brief, vague description consisting of a couple sentences:
Join to see if you can survive the ASC. If you pass a reward will be given.
Because of those two sentences Tay had unconsciously joined primarily thinking of the reward. Now however, she couldn't help but have a cynical point of view, she feared it might involve something like torture. She shuddered at the thought. She couldn't wait any longer; she needed to get to her next class.
She reached into her back pocket to get out the map of the school she promptly grabbed while exiting her first class. The only problem was that, that map had disappeared. Tay figured she dropped it when that discourteous, nerdy "Beth" girl hit her oh-so-kindly on the head. Tay was too weary to care, so instead she imagined the map in her head and followed it. She soon realized her class was closer than she thought it was a little while ago. All she had to do was walk into the tele-door (a door that transports you to your designated area through teleportation), walk down the left hallway and the second door on the left was the classroom.
Tay followed those instructions and opened a rather moist, wooden door. Tay peeped into the aging room only to find it empty. Tay opened the door all the way, walked in silently and routinely went to the corner of the classroom to sit down on the floor to sleep.
"Good day everyone! Right now you may be a bit confused of what's happening but if you follow my instructions you'll be fine."
Tay snapped out of her almost sleep state, perked up her ears and saw that the teacher talking was the same kind teacher who gave the map to her class this morning. Tay became delighted at the thought that she would have such a relaxed class. After all, it had to be, with a teacher as kind as her. Tay had learned all the information of this class that she wanted to know, so she leaned against the corner, snuggled in and drifted back asleep while the teacher was saying only choose one. One of what, Tay did not know.
Tay was sound asleep dreaming of nothingness with all her heart. Her sleeping face was grinning a little smile and she was as happy as ever. Until …*BZZZZZZ* Tay's body shook and burned throughout it. She was being shocked. It only lasted a second but that was all it took to make Tay alert and ready to attack whoever did such a barbaric thing to a sweet, innocent girl such as herself. The thought and anger didn't last long though. Her attention was quickly drawn in by the fact that the room was quickly being engulfed by darkness.
In a matter of moments the room she was once standing in was gone. The ground began to shake soon after, and the ground disappeared. Tay's body was falling head first, her long blue haired whirled in front of her face, and swayed in the wind, her cobalt eyes growing wider and wider, her mouth gasping after the sudden disappearance of the room … and the floor. Tay couldn't help but take a moment to marvel over how wonderfully fascinating it was to watch and experience such a thing. Her shocked face suddenly transformed into a wide smile as she started to laugh over how amusing it was.
"HAHAHAHAHA!! WOOOOH!! This is awesome - BOOYAA!!" Her yells of happiness seemed to drift into the darkness as she was fell into the never-ending darkness. Tay was doing flips, turns, spins, twists and – thud.
Tay hit what she guessed was the ground, harshly. Her fun was over, her happiness flying away in a blink of an eye, leaving her alone with nothing but pain from her fall. Her expression switched to a pouting face, which resembled that of a whining child. She sat where she fell, curled up in a ball, unhappy of the fact she couldn't sleep in such a peaceful place because she ached from the fall, and the electric shock made her body feel numb. She sat there for what felt like hours to her until a voice called out.
"Do you want out?" A tiny, female voice whispered through the dark, cold, crisp air.
"Yeah ..." Tay responded in a whiny voice.
"Well, do not worry this won't take long, it is nothing but a short test. If you have what it takes to be a student in this class one of the four items will appear. If you can see none before you ... well who knows what could happen. Now here is the moment of truth, look in front of you."
As swiftly as wind the anonymous voice was gone. Tay promptly looked before her to see the most beautiful, white katana with weird etchings sketched upon it. It was held by a small animal of some kind. Tay couldn't actually see the animal very well; Tay cautiously approached the small animal, kneeled down, picked up the katana from the small animals mouth and finally patted the animal. Just as she patted the animal, a blinding flash of white light, soared across the darkness, leading Tay back into the empty, aging classroom she was in before. That once empty classroom was now filled with around twelve people Tay had never seen before. Tay then looked at her left hand, and there surely was the most elegant, beautiful white katana that she had picked up when in the darkness. As she looked to her right side, there sat the blackest wolf cub. He was sitting with so much pride and confidence Tay immediately swept the cub off the ground and into her arms. She cuddled him and decided to name him Shadow.
"All right you maggots," boomed the charismatic and calm teacher who started the class before. However this time it seemed to be with an alternative attitude. "Results are in!! All fail but two, Anjo and Tay. You two can keep what items you got and get lost. Don't come back to class without receiving a message directly from me! Now go!!" The once nice teacher exclaimed, and roughly sliced through the air pointing to the nearest rotting door. Tay didn't particularly care about the way the teacher turned out to be anymore, she was just exhilarated over the fact she thought she wouldn't have to attend second class. With that thought in mind, she skipped to the door and happily left.
"I get more time to sleeeep- Sleeeep- sleeeep- More time to sleeeep- sleep, eat and play-"
Tay chanted after exiting the classroom. Tay walked and singed, while in a trance of bliss. She rapidly halted to a stop, because she had almost walked straight into a girl with medium long, golden hair.
"Uh, I…..I….." she seemed to stumble over what she was trying to say. Her amber eyes glanced to the ground. It seemed like she was diverted over something.
"What? Well, if it's about the puppy……NO." Tay embraced the puppy even tighter while turning away as if this girl would take him away from her.
"Ah! No sorry, that's not what I meant." Tay glanced back at the girl. She seemed to be cured of whatever was happening before. Tay decided she'd give the girl a chance. She turned back around and tried her best to pay attention.
"Sorry, I was just collecting my thoughts. I got shocked at the beginning of class. I suppose I'm still a bit affected by it. My name is Anjo. It seems we're the only ones who passed the test, so I just want to say congratulations. Since we both have second free and all, I thought it would be nice to hang out." Anjo was smiling so innocently it shocked Tay. She never thought she would meet such a kind person. Everyone she met so far was ignorant, mean people with horrible intentions like … that snobbish brat Beth. Tay just could not refuse.
"All right, just so you know I wander a lot and if I find a nice spot I'm going to take nap." Tay said what she wanted to say and now her attention span was gone. She glanced around and realized her next class was right behind Anjo. Anjo started chatting away while Tay was now caught up on tracking the movements of a white fuzz ball floating in the air. Anjo stopped talking, waved and walked away. Tay snatched the lint, said good-bye to Anjo and trudged off to her next class - cooking.
