It felt nice when Filius ran his fingers through Sophie's hair. Though, Sophie would never admit it... She hummed softly as he ran his fingers through her hair with wet hands. When Filius had finished she felt a little disappointed at how quickly it was over.

"Thanks." She said and she quickly blushed and began to stare at her feet,meeting embarrassed for liking it so much. He propelled off so quickly, Sophie only stared as he disappeared into the distance and she was left at a loss for words, simply staring in his direction and whispering,

"See ya..."

She turned around to face the building of her school. Other students walked passed her into the building, weapons on their backs and daunting battle frowns on their faces. Sophie felt her heart skip a beat. Was she really ready for this? Ready to give up her previous life to become a Weapons-Master? Was this really worth her parents' never ending disappointment in her?

She shook those thoughts out of her head and began to make her way into the building. Sophie decided she was ready. She wanted to protect herself, protect others who were less fortunate and less equipped. She couldn't do that if she followed the typical life of a modern woman. Sophie felt more and more nervous with each step.

Inside the classroom, she noticed there were very few girls in class. Only one other girl besides herself, even the teacher was male. Sophie took her seat and immediately the boy who sat behind her began to pester her,

"Heya babe." He said, and Sophie sank in her chair, trying to disappear into the seat. "Damn, you're good looking! Hurry up and give me your info before I don't want it anymore." When Sophie ignored him, he began to touch Sophie, first messing with her hair, to which, Sophie still ignored him, too afraid to fight back in front of the teacher... It was when the boy tugged on her shirt and revealed the back of her brassiere that Sophie lost her temper.

She punched him. Unfortunately, despite being a Weapons-Master, fighting was not permitted and Sophie was punished. The teacher was rather ruthless with her and made Sophie ran a few laps around the building while the rest of the class went about practicing dueling. As humiliating as it was, Sophie ran, the entire time cursing under her breath for the injustice she'd probably go through in this class. It sucked being a woman, Sophie decided.

Sophie went through the entire class being picked on by the boys. A few of them called her derogatory names, usually trying to pressure her into talking, but most of them just followed the lead of the one boy who was insistent on making Sophie his girlfriend, though he had no respect for her.

Sophie wished the class would be over soon so she could see Filius and tell him about it.she was sure he'd shut these boys up for good.
