Sorry this took so long. I have way too much going on.

Chapter Four: 1st Day of School, Part 1
Caroline got up the next morning at 4:30. She had gotten back into not needing as much sleep, so she felt like she had gotten more than enough sleep that night. She got up out of bed and turned music on, but kept the music quiet though so that it wouldn't wake Clara up.
Their bedrooms took up about half the floor and shared a wall. The bathroom had two doors that opened onto each their rooms and was along the back wall. On the other side of their rooms a door opened out to a rather large open space. On the other side of the open space was a kitchen. On the right (walking out of one of the bedrooms) of the kitchen was a staircase that lead up to the other floor the girls were using an on the left was a small useless hallway Pepper had insisted on having on every level for privacy reasons which led to the elevator. On the other floor the bathroom, kitchen, staircase, hallway, and elevator were in the same place, but the rest of the room was just one big open space to do whatever in.
Caroline spent about half an hour listening to piano music and looking out the window(it had a very nice view), trying to decide whether she was tired still or not. Finally she decided she might as well get ready early, rather than do nothing at all. She changed into a pair of jean capris and a dark brown shirt with a ruffled design in the front. She wasn't entirely sure what to wear so she just threw on something she liked and went with it. She had gone from one school with a uniform to another so this wear whatever you want idea was new to her.
Her hair was another matter entirely though. Most of the time she had just left it down , because she never had time to do anything with it. However she liked braids and curls. She had plenty of time today though and tried a bazillion different ideas before deciding on a version of the waterfall braid. One of the perks of her power was that it never got tangled or frizzy anymore, which was extremely useful.
After she was ready she was all ready she went out to the open space and flopped herself down on a couch, before opening her sketchbook and continued her drawing of the Vingilot (a ship from The Silmarillion).
At 6:45 Clara's alarm went off. Beep! Beep! Beep! Clara groaned and rolled over on her bed trying to block out the noise, wishing it would just magically turn itself off. Beep! Beep! Beep! She had put the clock on the other side of the room so she couldn't just reach over and turn it off. Now she was wishing she hadn't. Beep! Beep! Beep!
"Clara!" Caroline yelled through the door. "Would you please turn your alarm off! It's getting annoying."
"Feel free to come in and turn it off yourself," Clara yelled back. Beep! Beep! Beep!
"No, you can do that yourself." Caroline replied. "We're leaving at seven-thirty."
Clara sighed, dragging herself out of bed and turned the alarm clock off. She emerged from her room about fifteen minutes later in a light green shirt and shorts that went just above the knee. She kept her dark brown hair shoulder length, so there wasn't much she did with it besides brush it out. She did manage to find a clip with a green flower on it that matched her shirt and clipped it into place.
They both grabbed their backpacks and rode the elevator up the common floor where the rest of the Avengers(except for Thor) were waiting for them for breakfast.
Clint began to sing "Happy first day of school" till Natasha started whacking him with her fork and he stopped. They weren't exactly sure what Tony was doing with the mess of wires and stuff that was in front of him, and he wasn't even really sitting in his seat. Bruce was sitting patiently like a normal person and Steve was in the kitchen making waffles. Caroline was pretty sure that if Thor was here he would either be yelling some glorious proclamation and/or still be confused, but he wasn't there so she didn't have to find out.
The rest of breakfast went by without too many problems though by the end they were eating the whipped cream straight out of the can, and Natasha and Clint were fighting with their forks (don't ask, it's a long story).
Tony managed to get the girls to pose for a few pictures before they escaped into the elevator and press the down button. They had the elevator go as far down as it would go and got off at the empty floor. There was literally nothing on this floor, but randomly placed walls and doors to be confusing. They knew where the other elevator was though and got into it. It led them down to what was supposed to be an office space on the next floor. They exited the fake office and went to the main elevator which took them to ground level. Yeah the top part of the tower had been redone since last year. They got a few weird looks, but that was it.
It took a little bit to get to school, but then school didn't start till 8:30 so they had plenty of time. First they went to the office. They had already sorted everything out, but the girls still needed to pick up a packet of information. As soon as they left the office Caroline started going through her stack of papers.
"Sports, Songs, Lunch schedule, Robotics Club, Chess Club, more clubs…" she mused. "Ah here we go." she said after a few minutes. "Class Schedule" Clara found her schedule in a similar manner. The school for the most part looked like a generic high school except for having a rather strict dress code.
Next they went to their lockers, which were right next to each other.
"So what do you have first period?" Caroline asked.
"Some class called Humane Letters," Clara said. "What in the world is that?"
"It's basically English and History class thrown together. I had a similar class at my school; we just called it a different name. It's a lot of fun. Wait, you said you had it first and second period?"
"Yep,"
"So do I"
"So what do we do with all of these books?" Clara asked, gesturing to the pile of novels in her locker.
"Well, I'm taking them home till we need them in class," Caroline said. "You can do whatever you want with them as long as you don't lose them."
By this point in time the hallway had filled up with people. Caroline grabbed a binder and a notebook, put them into her backpack and closed it just as the girl with a locker below hers came. Clara gave her a weird look.
"Why do you still have your backpack?" she asked.
"Well everyone else is doing," Caroline said. Clara shrugged her shoulders and put her stuff into her backpack and shut her locker. Apparently only some schools didn't let you carry your backpack around during school.
They spent the rest of the time before school looking for their classes, which included lots of pointless wandering around the school. The format would definitely take some time to get used to. They actually had not found all their classes yet when the bell rang indicating that they had five minutes to get to their first class.
"Do you remember where our Humane Letters class is?" Clara asked.
"I think so," Caroline said, and she managed to find it in about two minutes. "Okay I think I'm starting to get used to the layout of this school," she said as they reached the classroom.
The desks were set up in a circle (well more like an oval) which just confused Clara more, but Caroline had been sitting in circles for class for years so it didn't bother her at all. There were name cards on each of the desks, which were arranged in alphabetic order so they ended up right next to each other.
Most of the class (including Clara and Caroline) were seated when the bell rang and started the new school year.
Yeah, another chapter! Sorry it took so long, and that nothing in particular happens in this chapter. You will most likely be meeting new important characters in the next chapter. I haven't decided yet. Anyway, until then. Please review! I love reviews. I am still loking for super hero names for Clara if you have any ideas. There were no reviews for the last chapter so I'm done. ;) REVIEW!
