The dark of night was slowly creeping into Sae Mi’s room, but the flames in her palms illuminated it with their warm, amber glow. They obediently danced between her fingers as she gracefully waved and turned her hands like the conductor of an orchestra. They actively flickered as the cool wind continued to sweep through the curtains. Playing with fire was something that many parents would forbid their children from doing, but Sae Mi knew she wouldn’t get burned. She and fire were one in the same.

After a while, her hands clapped together and concluded the game with her gift. I don’t think I have ever been so bored, she thought. The night was still young and her body was nowhere near ready for bedtime. She might have decided to do school work, but Sae Mi was not someone who procrastinated and had finished her summer assignments early. Unwilling to remain sitting in the dark with nothing to do, she decided she would take a walk and exited the room.

The hallways were mostly empty. Although Sae Mi assumed that everyone must have been in the dining hall for supper, a few stray students still were wandering around as she was. She happened to see the small girl she had noticed earlier with a dark haired boy, but continued to walk passed them. Oh, Sae Mi uttered in her head when she spotted a student with a guitar. I wonder if the music room is open…

(( you guys could have kept posting lol i wouldn't have cared, im back now :D))

Taking the paper she looked over the number and shrugged her shoulders before turning from him. Lirita headed for the stairs with the paper in her hand still as she looked over her shoulder expecting him to follow her. Lirita headed up the stairs slowly at her pace as she headed towards the hall way where her bed room was as well. Looking up at the numbers she looked down at the paper then back up before she came to the middle room on the left and pointed to it. Biting her muffin again, Lirita turned and walked past the boy shrugging once again. She was helpful when needed.

Jason narrowed his eyes at the girl as she turned away. He really wasn't a people person and as it seemed, neither was she. He was about to go look for someone else when she came back and pointed the way to his room, he nodded, muttering a "thanks" as he headed to his room. When Jason arrived at his room, he opened the door and took in the room before dropping off his things.

Sae Mi walked further into the building, her steps short and quick as if she were in a hurry, until she arrived in the hall containing the music room. Making note of the doors that were left ajar and of the light that seeped from behind them, she approached the room with caution. Maybe Ms. Novacek is inside, the girl wondered. She was unwilling to encounter anyone else except for a teacher. Fortunately, when her eyes warily peeked through the opening, no one was in sight.

As Sae Mi wandered inside she curiously observed the many things that surrounded her. The center was mostly filled with rows of chairs and music stands and various instruments were displayed along the walls. The thing that intrigued her the most though was a grand piano that stood in one corner of the room. Ah, there you are, she thought. A look of admiration lit up her face as she approached the majestic instrument and comfortably settled herself on the bench before it.

After revealing the set of black and white keys beneath a sliding cover, the tips of Sae Mi’s fingers were gently placed upon them. She pressed them down lightly, afraid that they might crumble if she pressed too hard, and began to play a song she had memorized by heart. It was meant to be beautiful and romantic, but to her disappointment, she kept making mistakes. It had been quite a while since she last played after all. It’s too embarrassing to keep going, Sae Mi huffed in frustration. She quickly removed her hands from the piano before she burned it.

Picking at her muffin more, Lirita walked along the halls looking over the classes that would start in the morning, it was like memory row. She walked light and soundlessly as she headed forward more. Stopping at the music room, Lirita stood on her tippy toes and peeked in. Pulling her head phones down so they hung around her neck she listened carefully. I could swear i heard someone playing...

Pushing the door open slowly, Lirita peeked in further and saw a girl. Ah, so someone was playing. Lirita blinked her violate eyes and gave a short wave as she chewed on the muffin in her mouth. Unsure what the girl was doing in the music room, Lirita walked further in. There was a ghost in the room but she was not there right now. The ghost was a women about 50 years old and talked none stop of her talented daughter, the music teacher here at school.

Lirita only knew bits and peaces, of how the music teacher's mother passed away. But now she was here watching over her daughter, for some reason. Lirita believed its because she didn't want to believe she was dead and move on. Walking further back, Lirita found the instrument she picked to play. The harp. Due to her being so small her parents wanted to find her something interesting and something that applied to Lirita. Lirita ended up picking out a harp, a rather big instrument that she could play rather well.

It drowned out the voices thats for sure....

After Jason dropped off everything he came out the door, deciding to head towards the beach. While he hated the sand, it made a good visual reader for how fast and how strong his wind was. As he walked down the halls, he heard what seemed to be piano playing. He was tempted to peak inside and did so to get a picture of the place. With his wind he could make all different pitches of sound with instruments. What he would need to learn how to do first was see what buttons make what sound. He turned away, continuing out the building until he was outside. He arrived at the beach a small while later, checking to see how many others were there.

The further opening of the music room doors startled Sae Mi, making her jump in her seat and sending goose bumps along her arms. She quickly turned around, eager to chide the intruder, but became even more surprised when she saw who it was. That girl is everywhere, she thought with discomfort. Her curious eyes followed the strange female student until she approached a large harp. It was a peculiar combination, such a small girl playing such a big instrument. But despite the awkwardness, Sae Mi’s ears welcomed the sweet melody that sounded throughout the room.

For a while, her body was tingling with jealousy, but Sae Mi felt more admirable as the girl played on. She recognized the song as one of the first pieces she learned to play on the piano and as one of her most favorites. Hesitantly, her fingers found the keyboard again and began to follow in tune. A smile formed on Sae Mi’s lips for she was performing much more smoothly than last time, but it was short lived when she suddenly lost focus. Her hands were removed from the piano once again and her face was flushed with embarrassment.

Devonny walked down the hall with her pastry in hand. And mouth. It was delicious. Way better than anything she'd ever had. She appreciated what her parents did for her, but she couldn't deny that it wasn't always the greatest food. She knew she should savor it, but she couldn't; it was gone in but a moment. She walked back towards her room.

Lirita's fingers lightly traveled over the strings, plucking each note carefully and fluently as she closed her eyes. She always played with her eyes closed if she remember the song. It helped visual the strings instead of guessing where each one was. Since Lirita was playing from such a younge age she knew most of the songs given to her. At first, her fingers wouldn't move with the strings and she sounded terrible.

But now Lirita can play fluently. As she moved her fingers her head bobbed a little with the notes counting in her head. This was the most fun she'd have really. Lirita opened her eyes when she heard the piano then stopped when the girl stopped. Standing up, Lirita gave a small bow to the girl as if to praise her and her music.

Jason arrived at the beach, squinting his eyes from the sunlight. He started off small, creating a vortex of wind in one hand and throwing sand into it with the other. As it showed, the sand swirled into the air and kept circling inside until he stopped, the sand dropping through his fingers. A boring warm up, at least to him as he moved onto something a bit bigger. He raised his hand into the air, whipping up sand into a small tornado.

Sae Mi lifted her head and looked around the room when she noticed that the sound of the harp was no longer audible. She watched the other girl stand up and bow in her direction, but it made her feel even more self conscious about her mistakes. She was clearly envious of the stranger’s fluency. But unwilling to be disrespectful, she responded with a halfhearted smile and a small nod.

“You’re very talented,” Sae Mi commented. “I’m sorry to have disrupted you.”

Rubbing the back of her head she shrugged a little and pointed to the piano and gave a thumbs up sign before pushing her head phones back on to her ears. She could still hear the girl if she spoke. Not trying to be rude to ease in on someone else's private time, Lirita gave a small friendly wave with out changing her facial expression and began walking out of the room.

Lirita knew how it was for someone to listen and she didn't want to make enemies this early on in the school year. Walking along the hall way she yawned softly and rubbed her eyes. It was getting rather late, well to Lirita it was late. She did love to sleep. Looking around, Lirita noticed the number of students thinned. Most probably went to bed and she should do the same.

She’s not very talkative, is she? Sae Mi wondered as the girl quietly made an exit. She continued to sit in front of the piano for a little longer, her fingers wistfully caressing the surfaces of the keys. She wished that her musical talent could have stayed as consistent as her burning flames. It was too late in the night to begin practicing though. With a soft, woeful sigh she stood up from her seat and left the music room as well.

After brushing and flossing her teeth and changing into her favorite set of pajamas, Sae Mi wearily fell onto the recently conjoined mattresses in the center of her room. She crawled deep into the safety of her down comforter and snuggled with Dong Wook in her arms. The memorable lullaby of the music box sang in her ears as she lay in the dark, waiting to be consumed by sleep. Umma… Appa… she thought, Goodnight.

(( OOC: do you guys just want to have classes begin, we dont have to do the whole Class describtion and stuff, just say you went to that class now your in the hall way for break ect.

just so the story gets moving?))

[[Im fine with that. No offense, but I think this story has been going kinda slow. Maybe its just me. But Im down with whatever anyone else wants to do.]]

((Haha I would like that too. I kind of want the story to move faster too.))

(( yyeeaahh i wasn't sure, i was just following along with you guys LOL, Ok im god moding you people!))

Everyone asleep peacefully in their dorm rooms, dreaming of who knows what, were Shocked away with LOUD ringing bells. The bells rang five times each ring louder then the next. It shoke the school a bit. The bell was a sign that breakfast was on the table and classes were to begin.


Lirita jumped up and out of bed dressing with her eyes closed. She felt tired and didn't want to go to classes already. Slowly pulling on her school issued hat to cover her ear phones, her shadow friend snuggled himself against her neck on her shoulder to hide from everyone else. Of course Lirita's hair was silver now that it was day again. Leaving her room, Lirita walked at a slow pace down the stairs to the dining hall then off to her next class.

((I don't mind that as well. Just keep moving~

Er... I'll edit this later. Busy right now.))

[I dont mind either]

Devonny tried to sleep through the morning bell, but it was too loud and her stomach wouldn't let her. She could sleep any time, but she needed her food. She tried to pull herself out of bed, but found she was tangled in the sheets when she fell to the floor. She sat up, alert now. The ringing had stopped, and Devonny got dressed. She quickly pulled a brush through her hair and brushed her teeth. Then she ran out of the room and to the breakfast room.

I hate that bell, Sae Mi complained in her head. The warmth of her blankets felt much too comfortable to abandon, but she eventually kicked them to the side and crawled out of bed. She dressed into her school uniform, made sure that she looked clean and presentable, and double checked that she had everything she needed for class. Okay, I'm ready, she thought. After giving a wave of goodbye to her beloved stuffed animal and to the picture of her parents, she exited the room and hurried towards the dining room.

Walking out of the kitchen area she entered her first class, the teacher already gave her a detention for a week for not taking off her head phones, as usual. Lirita sat in the back away from everyone else and arched her back up a bit to see the board as the teach wrote on it, it was hard to see since most of the guys who sat in front of her were taller. Sighing a bit she copied down most of the notes before the next bell rang. The teacher tapped her shoulder and told Lirita her detention started right after classes. Nodding, Lirita made a face and shook her head.

What a day to have classes. Pulling her bag over her shoulder she tilted her head up at a ghost in the far corner, it was a younge girl with long curly black hair and a rather old looking uniform. I wonder how she died.... Of course Lirita never really tried interacting with the ghost's, they scared her.

Jason groaned at the sound of the morning bell, grudgingly getting out of bed. Well, at least it meant breakfast. He wasn't a morning person and having set times didn't help either. He got dressed and brushed his teeth before heading down to the kitchen. By the time he got there, there was still a bunch of food left, but the line was a bit long.

A dissatisfied frown formed on Sae Mi's lips as she peeked through the doors of the cafeteria. Even though her stomach was growling at her to feed it, she wasn't willing to squeeze through the dense herd of students in the kitchen. Instead, she turned around and headed towards the classrooms.

The first few hours of school went by smoothly. All of her teachers were just as excited as the Headmaster to see her back and she was very happy to have textbooks back in her hands. She couldn't wait to read and study them all. Heh... I had a rough start, but it's becoming a good day, Sae Mi smiled to herself.
