*March 22nd, 1941*

*1:21pm*

*Upper East Side*

*Jackson Private Academy*

Anya, Charlotte, and Nancy had stepped out of the vehicle as they were in complete awestruck as they looked at the private academy.

"Woooow! This place looks wonderful! No wonder why people want to go here.." Nancy had spoken in joy as she looked at the beautiful large private academy as the interiors had a rather Victorian look to it as it was surrounded by beautiful gardens as she was captivated by its beauty.

"You got that right, I just hope we don't see Judith on the tour because she was acting pretty dang mean yesterday and she's just gonna be a buzzkill" Anya had spoken in agreement with Nancy as she turned her direction to see the Victorian academy as she noticed that Calvin was from the building with a smile on his face as he wore his uniform in which was a dark blueish color.

"Good Afternoon, I'm glad you ladies have decided to come. I will ensure that your time here will be quite wonderful but please don't mind Judith and her friends as well since they're coming on the tour as chaperones for the guests" Calvin had spoken to the trio in a polite tone of voice as he walked closer to the ladies with a smile on his face.

"It's wonderful to see you, Thank you so much for inviting us and we'll make sure that we'll enjoy ourselves on this beautiful day" Anya had spoken to Calvin as she let out a smile as she, her friends, and Calvin walked towards the entrance of the Academy.

"Wooow! There's so many people here! It's practically like college!" Charlotte had spoken in awestruck as she had taken the time to observe her surroundings as she saw the huge outside quad in which was filled with some students in their uniforms talking amongst each other as this was seen by Calvin.

"It's wonderful, isn't it? This is the main quad area and it's where you just either wanna hang out or get some fresh air so it's a pretty damn good thing If I'm being honest" Calvin had explained to the trio as he and the others began to walk towards the entrance building as they was met with a young girl approaching them.

"G-Good A-Afternoon! My name is Emma and it's wonderful to meet you three…" Emma (a young 14 year old girl with brown colored hair and glasses as the style was pincurls) had greeted Anya and the others with a smile on her face as Anya and the others began to introduce themselves.

"My name is Anya Romanov and it's wonderful to meet you. I really like your hair as well" Anya had spoken back to Emma as she let out a smile while she reached out her hand for a handshake as she and Emma did just that.

"T-Thank you! I-I really love your hair as well! It really reminds me of Clara Bow's style so it really looks cute on you but I can see that Calvin is taking you and your friends on a tour right?" Emma had asked Anya in a polite tone of voice as she awaited for an answer.

"Correct, So far everything looks very beautiful and you seem nice considering my friend Russell made it seem that everyone was stuck up but maybe Judith is the reason for that, I guess.." Anya had answered back as her words caught Emma by surprise as she gasped in shock.

"Judith?! You've met her?! She's really mean and such a classist! She and her little friends give this school a bad reputation but the teachers don't really do anything about it…" Emma had spoken back in surprise as this prompted Nancy to speak.

"So the teachers don't do anything about it? How come? I think Judith's attitude should not fly since it's quite disrespectful" Nancy had spoken to Emma in hopes of getting some light on the situation.

"Apparently her father is the dean so whatever he says goes! It's already bad enough that Judith is a daddy's girl and such a spoiled brat! so she can get away with anything!" Emma had spoken back to Nancy and the others in a more annoyed tone of voice as this prompted Calvin to chuckle at her comment.

"Well, We just gotta not give Judith any power right? She is at the academy today so usually most of her enemies just mind their own business to avoid trouble" Calvin had spoken to everyone as he placed his hands on the door so he could open it.

"I guess you have a point but I hope that her father realizes his daughter's actions" Anya had spoken back towards Calvin as she was met with nods of agreement from her friends and Emma.

"You have a good point there but I'll let you guys be since I know you and everyone else are busy but it was wonderful meeting you guys so I hope we can see each other again!" Emma had spoken to Anya and the others as she bidded farewell as she saw the gang entering the academy.

"Same for you! I hope you have a wonderful day!" Charlotte had spoken to Emma as she waved farewell as she went inside of the building while Anya was the next person to say her goodbyes.

"I hope we see each other once more as well but have a wonderful day! Farewell, Emma!" Anya had spoken to Emma as she waved goodbye as she and Nancy went inside of the building along with Charlotte and Calvin as they heard the sound of the door closing right behind them.

"Does anyone want to use the restroom before we continue? I know that you guys didn't have a chance to do so before leaving so I wanted to make sure" Calvin had asked the girls as he was met with nods from Charlotte and Nancy.

"I'll wait for everyone right here but you guys can go on without me since I've already used the restroom" Anya had spoken to her friends as she was met with nods from everyone.

"Sounds good!: Calvin simply uttered back as he smiled at Anya as he ran to the Men's restroom while Charlotte and Nancy ran to the women's restroom.

"So, you must be Anya, the daughter of the so-called famous playwright, Anastasia, correct?" A gruff voice had called out to Anya in which caught her attention as she quickly turned over to see a middle aged man in his 40s who wore a suit and had a conservative cut had spoken to Anya as he was standing in front of Anya.

"Y-Yes! Y-You must be Judith's father aren't you?" Anya had spoken to the man as she managed to gain her composure as she awaited for an answer.

"Yes, I see that you've met my wonderful daughter, correct? My name is Mr Robert Miller, the dean of this wonderful academy. You should be lucky to set foot in my school with your little friends so consider that was a privilege, peasant!" Mr Miller had spoken back to Anya in a rather stern tone of voice as this prompted Anya to speak.

"I know your daughter and you have a problem with me and my friends but I don't care if you have a problem with me but the minute you put my friends in whatever troubles you and Judith have then that's where I draw the line! Your daughter had said some hurtful stuff to my friend, Nancy and she's still a little upset with it" Anya had spoken back to Mr Miller as this caused him to raise an eyebrow.

"Your smart mouth will never make it far in my school. It seems that Mrs. Anastasia didn't teach you any respect but I don't want to waste my time with brats like you so I'll be taking my leave..." Mr Miller had advised Anya in a stern tone of voice as he walked away from her before disappearing from Anya's site.

"Hey, Is everything okay?" Emma had asked Anya as she opened the door and entered the academy as she awaited her answer.

"Emma?! I-I'm doing okay but thanks for asking, I won't allow Mr Miller to ruin this day" Anya had spoken to Emma with a smile on her face.

"That's good to hear, I've heard everything from outside and he always gets like this but we have no choice but to listen to him or he'll expel us…" Emma had spoken back to Anya as she felt a warm and gentle touch from her shoulder which made her blush.

"Wanna be friends? I'll be sure to make your days more happy" Anya had asked Emma in a warm tone of voice as she was met with the young girl shaking her head in excitement.

"Of course! I would love to be your friend!" Emma had spoken back as she noticed that Anya reached out her hand for a handshake as she also noticed that she was smiling.

"I'll be sure to call you everyday after your school sessions" Anya had spoken to Emma as the girls shocked hands indicating that the pair were now friends as they gave each other smiles was unknown to them that Judith was watching everything.

"So Emma has a friend now…." Judith had thought to herself as she gave off a sneaky smirk as she had plans in store to ruin Anya's new friendship with Emma.
