Chapter 3: Becoming Friends
Ria and Elsa had been laughing and talking for a good hour by the time they actually started the tour. Ria had decided to learn a few things about the girl first. She now knew that Elsa LOVED chocolate and that she had a younger sister named Anna. Ria in turn told her about her brother and their small group of friends. Elsa was kind but very timid and needed a lot of prompting from Ria to say anything.
"Alright So this is the main office as you already know." Said Ria as she gestured in the general direction. "And down that hall..." she pointed down a hall to their left. "Is the Music and Art's hall. We don't have any classes down there luckily. Its so...Ominous" She made her hands into the shape of claws and loomed over the other girl laughing maniacally as they passed making Elsa laugh and sending happiness into her own bones.
"Wait..." Said Elsa. "how do you know I don't have any classes down there? I thought you just found out we would be partners?" Ria shrugged as they turned down a hall to their right.
"Well I'm glad you asked. You see at this school all partners are placed in the same classes. Like a bonding ritual I guess." She gestured to their right before turning left. "That's the cafeteria."
"That's... new."
"The cafeteria?"
"No the classes thing. they didn't tell me about it. Not that I'm not glad. I am. I just didn't know."
"Not a big deal. Anyway this entire hall just has different classes like any other school." Ria tried to cover the blush that formed at the blonds words. She's glad we have classes together!
As they walked the school they talked and pointed out different areas. Ria noticed that Elsa was slowly becoming a bit more talkative... a bit. But she was getting there. As they finally entered the training halls, Ria began to explain how it all worked.
"Now down this hall are the training rooms. They are ALL sound proof, cushioned and reinforced so we wont destroy the walls."
"And what happens there Ms. Guide." Elsa joked.
"First off everyone is assigned a room with their partner for training. Every day a task is shown on the monitors that should be accomplished."
"A Task?"
"Ya Its kind of weird but you'll see tomorrow. Anyway at the end of the year all the pairs fight it out in a giant competition. The winners are crowned and given the choice to stay partners and choose partners for as many other people as they want."
"WAIT WHAT? What do you mean choose?" yelled Elsa moving a bit to close to Ria. She didn't know why but she didn't like the idea of getting a new partner.
"Oh they probably forgot to tell you. At the end of the year everyone gets a new partner unless you win." Ria was oddly happy about how mad Elsa had gotten at the news. Suddenly Elsa realized how close they were and jumped away.
"Sorry..." she whispered.
"No problem. We use these rooms twice a week for the entire day but other then that there isn't really anything else to show you."
"Oh... well then what now?"
"You wanna just hang out around the school? Get to know each other a bit better. Just since we'll be stuck together for a while." Ria smiled as she rubbed the back of her neck.
"Ya sounds like a plan." Elsa smiled back. They spent the rest of the day talking and wondering the halls.
