Tuesday:

I made a new friend today. Or at least an acquaintance since we only talked.

I had gone to the Castleteria for breakfast. The food there was really good, even better than the ones at the Knight Academy. There were eggs, bacon, bread and fruit juice. Back then, the cadets had baked beans, bread and water because the ingredients were quite limited. The Academy was really prestigious, but it's budget was quite thin because of the amount of equipment we needed and the medical bay that had to be financed every month.

So after I got my food, I turned around to find a table. However, I could see that almost all the tables were full.

There was one table though and someone was sitting there.

She had pale skin, violet eyes, and slightly wavy hair in the colors black, purple, and maroon. Her hair was styled half-up, half-down. Her fashion sense was quite as dark and gothic as could be.

Seeing that she was alone, I had approached her.

"E-excuse me?" I asked, rather hesitantly. She looked up at me. "Is anyone sitting here?"

She blinked and when it felt quite long, she finally answered. "Sure, go right ahead."

I nodded my thanks as I sat opposite her. The silence was awkward as I ate my food. Finally, I began to say something.

"So...nice weather, huh?"

She gave me a look that said 'are you serious?'. I couldn't really blame her. I sighed as I went back to eating.

"I've never seen you around here before." the girl said.

"Oh, I just transferred here yesterday." I answered.

"So that explains why you would sit here with me." she muttered.

I raised my eyebrow.

"Why wouldn't I?" I inquired.

"I'm known as the Daughter of the Evil Queen." she answered.

"Never heard of her." I stared.

She looked at me, slightly shocked.

"Evil Queen? Tried to poison Snow White?" she tried to remind me.

I shook my head. "Sorry. No bells ringing."

"Really? You're probably the first person not to know." she remarked.

I shrugged. "When you live far, far away, you're a stranger of outside news." She raised an eyebrow. "Besides, I don't think that being the child of an evil person automatically makes you evil. That's just really stereotyped and rude."

"Stereotype?" she questioned, but I found humor in her tone.

"I mean, if I were the son of a king, does that automatically make me good at politics? Hex, I think I would've brought the country to ruins if I decreed a free sandwich policy." I think that brought a chuckle from her. I just made a jab at my own destiny.

"I never got your name." she mentioned.

"It's Cayden. Cayden Pendragon. But you can call me Cay for short." I told her.

"Name's Raven. Raven Queen." she told hers.

"That's a pretty badass name." I remarked. She rolled her eyes. Before I know it, I finished my breakfast.

"Well, I gotta get to class." I told her.

"What class are you having later?" she asked.

"Uh, Geografairy." I told her.

"Cool, I have the same class too." she said.

"Do you want me to wait for you?" I asked.

She shook her head. "Nah. You should just go first."

I nodded as I reluctantly got up. "Alright."

I went to dispose my tray. Passing by, I saw Raven back at the table with a couple of other students. They seem to be chatting away casually. They must be her friends.

She noticed me and gave a small wave. I waved back as I passed her table to get to class.

I had sat at the end of the corner of seats as I slowly took a nap to pass the time. I was way too early.

Raven seemed like a nice person. I mean, I stood by what I said. So she can't really be evil. Can't she?

My teacher Jack E. Nimble was a rather eccentric teacher. In fact, when he introduced me, I think I heard a tone of enthusiasm. Immediately, all the students looked at me and I gave a sheepish smile and wave.

"Hi." I said, in a rather timid voice. I had noticed Raven giving me a silent chuckle.

Oh, boy. This was going to be a wild ride.

A/N: And his first day! So who do you think Cayden should interact with next?
