Nicole opened her eyes groggily and sat up. Her body was used to waking up at eight in the morning, but she was still extremely tired. She blinked a few times to get the blurriness out of the way, and after remembering where she was, she was suddenly wide awake.

She picked up her schedule to see when breakfast was. It was in thirty minutes.
She looked over at Charlie, who was still asleep. She walked over to Charlie's bed, and said, "Charliiie? Can you like, wake up, please? I'm boooored!"

Charlie opened one eye and instantly closed it again. "It's too early to be morning." She muttered groggily, pulling the duvet up over the lower half of her head. As if to prove her point, a deep yawn escaped her lips. "Too early."

"It's eight," She said, pulling the duvet away. "It's not early. Breakfast is in thirty minutes, I'm bored! And classes start after breakfast, I'm extremely nervous, so I just feel like talking, so you need to wake up so I can talk to you, because talking makes me feel better," She said, crossing her arms.

She went over to her nightstand and started taming her hair. "And like, I really hope we have some of the same classes, because I do NOT want to go to them alone, because I'd be really scared, not knowing anyone and all."

Charlie pulled her duvet back up to her chin. "I was born in Egypt. It's still early there...I think." She protested groggily. A pause then she waved her hand at her bedside table "My schedual should be in there sommere." She mumbled. "You check. Ima sleep sommore"

Nicole sighed, taking he schedule. She looked it over and instantly brightened. "We have our first three classes this morning together, awesome! And then the other class we have together is PE. Do we use our Powers in PE?"

"Yeah..." She muttered realizing she'd have to get up and opening her eyes once more.She sighed "P.E is all about excercising your powers." She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and sat up with a yawn, hugging her knees up to her chest.

Nicole frowned, afraid she had really annoyed Charlie. "Hey, I'm sorry for talking to much, and waking you up. I know I can be extremely annoying like that, but I'm just nervous and all." She said, "So like if you want a new roommate, I totally understand."

"I don't do mornings." She grumbled "It's odd really, we used to have to wake up at six at my old place, so I should be used to it by now...but I like my bed." She smiled impishly.

Nicole smiled, glad to see Charlie wasn't angry with her, and also excited for P.E to be a power class. "I so can't wait for P.E, it's gonna be awesome," She said, grinning. She looked over at her clock. Fifteen minutes until breakfast. "Ohh, I need to change, so like...Don't look, or something."

She went over to her backpack and pulled out a green shirt and a pair of jeans, and changed into them. "Okay, you can look now," Said Nicole, turning back to Charlie. "So what's breakfast usually like around here?"

Charlie yawned and made her way out of bed and staggered over to her wardrobe, where she rifled through her clothes, pulling out a cream wrap top and a black, floaty skirt. "Pretty much like dinner." She murmered as she pulled her clothes on. Settling at the dressing table she pulled a face wipe from a pack, cleansing her face before she spoke again. "It's all spread out around the tables and you help yourself to what you want." She ran a brush through her hair and smoothed it straight with her fingers.

Nicole nodded, "well, that's cool," She said. "I think I might just want some pancakes, though. Not in the mood for a big breakfast."
She went over to the door and opened it, letting in the sound of students walking and running down the halls to get to the dining room. "ready to go?" She asked, turning to face Charlie.

Charlie Sighed "I'll be down in a little bit. Save me some toast." She replied dreamily. Reaching into a drawer she pulled out a few strands of coloured threads and began weaving them into a tiny, multicoloured braid at one side of her face. "I'm not really a morning person."

"Alright," Nicole said, heading out of the room. She made her way downstairs, and to the dining room. Breakfast had already been served. She sat down at an empty table and helped herself to some pancakes and syrup, being sure to save some toast for Charlie.

Charlie didn't emerge until breakfast was almost over. Now sporting two multi coloured fine braids in her hair, one at either side of her face, each one sporting a tiny gold charm on the end, in the shape of a lions head. She reached over Nicoles shoulder and grabbed a slice of toast.

"Morning" She smiled, sitting down beside her and munching contently on the dry bread. She seemed much more awake now and content to chat. "How's breakfast?"

"It's actually just as good as dinner," She said, "But I didn't want to eat very much, as I'm extremely nervous about the start of classes, so I didn't want to get sicker. Do you normally skip most of breakfast?" She asked, putting the last bite of her pancakes in her mouth and washing it down with some milk.

Charlie nodded "Yeah, pretty much." She shrugged "I don't have a big appetite in a morning, so I get a bit more sleep than everyone else. I like sleep" She smiled and reached for a second slice "Ready for class?" She asked absently, rising to her feet, munching her toast.

Nicole nodded, standing up and passing her plate down. "Yeah, what have we got first?" She asked, heading towards the doors leading out of the dining room. "I forgot my schedule in the room," She said, frowning. "I need to keep track of the thing better."

"English." she replied with a shrug, leading the way down the hallways, still munching her slice of toast as she walked. "You should probably keep your papers on you. You'll probably need them for a while."

"Oooh, english. I like English," She said as they walked. "And yes, I know I should keep my papers with me, but I haven't got in the habit yet. It'll take some time," She said.
They soon came to a stop in front of the English classroom, and Nicole let out a nervous sigh. "Well this is it. My first class. I make it sound like I'm going to my execution," She muttered, taking in a deep breath. "I'm being silly. It's just a class."

She nodded "It's just like any other class, only no one is going to be scared of you randomly using powers on them." She shrugged, walking into the class "The chair next to mine is free as are a couple of others." She murmered, taking a seat beside the window. She pulled out a book and a pen, decorated in gold and tiny mirrors.

Nicole followed Charlie into the classroom and sat down next to her, looking around nervously. The teacher hadn't entered the classroom yet, and everyone was talking and goofing around.

"Hey, new girl!" Said a girl behind Nicole. "You're not planning on shattering a window like you did the salt shaker last night are you? That was hilarious, just so you know"

Nicole turned around to look at the girl who had spoke to her. She had fairly long black hair, and wore all black, and had a few piercings. She was smirking in a way that made Nicole feel extremely uncomfortable. Nicole only turned back around.

"What, no reply? You had no problem talking last night at dinner, you wouldn't believe how pathetic you sounded, yelling about desert." Said the girl. Several of the girls sitting around her laughed.

Charlie shook her head and gazed out of the window. She rarely got involved with other students affairs unless she was dragged into them. Her fingers played with the pendant sitting around her neck.

A male student walked into the room at that moment. His long brown bangs and leather jacket, coupled with ripped jeans and a silver flame paterned pendant made him seem like some sort of rock star. "Careful Marina, if she can do that to a salt shaker when not pissed off, imagine what she could do to you if you piss her off." He muttered as he sank in his seat at the back of the class.

Marcus D'Artagnan was somewhat of a wonder in this school. At first glance he seemed calm and somewhat reasonable, but the smallest thing could flip the trigger and he'd use his powers. Oh boy would he use them! He'd grown up on the streets and caused quite a bit of damage before he was eventually brought to the school. Rumour had it he'd even killed a few people.

Marina rolled her eyes, letting out a mocking laugh. "Like I'm scared of her," She said, "I think I'm more than capable of handling someone like her," She stated, folding her arms and leaning back in her chair, propping her feet on the desk.

Nicole tried not to let them get to her. She really did. She was used to people taunting her, and usually she just let it roll off of her. But she was already feeling nervous and a little stressed, and it was harder to ignore them.

"Just wait until P.E," Said Marina with a wicked grin. "I'll show you what real control is like."

That threat alone was enough to make Nicole shiver, but she didn't. It was the tone, and the venom in her words that scared Nicole the most. She was beginning to have second thoughts about going to the school.

He actually laughed at her. Shaking his head he opened his book at the correct page and leant his chair back against the wall. "No one cares about your control." He said simply. He brushed his bangs from his piercing blue eyes, folding his arms and waiting for the teacher to arrive. He seemed to have no desire to say anymore on the subject.

Charlie leant over slightly and placed her hand on Nicoles arm. Giving her a comforting squeeze, then retracting it and opening her own book as the teacher entered the room.

Nicole sighed, opening the book that had been placed on her desk. She listened to the teacher drone on, not really paying attention. She dreaded the thought of P.E now. Suddenly she raised her hand, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm feeling sick, could I please be excused?" She asked the teacher.

"On your first day, Nicole? Alright, but don't make a habit out of it."

Nicole slowly got up and left the room, leaning on the wall outside. She could feel Marina staring at her from behind, and it made her feel uncomfortable. She slid down the wall into a sitting position and sighed. This would be a long day...
