"Alright, then, suit yourself." He prepares to leave the classroom as well, shutting off all the electronics and such. "Next session? Mmm...tomorrow will probably be fine. I'll let you know in the morning if it won't be, though." He shuts off all the lights in the classroom, ushering her outside so he can lock the door to said classroom. "Gotta lock up. After all, don't want some rowdy bad-boys going in and stealing that stereo. I'd have to bust them down." He laughs to himself as he turns the key in the lock, and then puts the key in his hakama pocket and turns around to face Auria. "You're getting better and better, showing remarkable progress. It's only a matter of time before we have to find another medium for you to get better at."

Auria giggles softly and follows him out of the classroom. "Yea, I like that stereo." she says, smiling at him. "Alright, well I'll see you in the morning then. Thank you Daniel." she said softly before she starts walking down the hallway, heading for her dorm. She smiles to herself and sings her song for tomorrow, making sure she had it all memorized so she could do it perfectly. Her voice rang out through the snowy air as she walked.

Daniel watches Auria go, blinking softly as he hears her sing--he can't decipher the words, though. "Mmm...there goes a good girl." He says to himself, smiling. "It's too bad she's my student, and she isn't older, or..." He trails off, shaking his head, turning to head back to his dorm. When he gets there, he quickly tosses his clothes off and takes a fast shower, then climbs into bed. Not bothering to take his medication, since he was going to bed early. 'Mmm...another day tomorrow. Second day of the term...'

Mia walks through the campus, checking it out. She's already checked in and put her things in her dorm, so she's just touring at her own leisure. She shivers a bit in the frosty air, shrugging her lavender scarf tighter around her shoulders.

She hears a girl singing, and walks up to her general area.

"Hello," she says quietly, not wanting to interrupt her song. The girl has a very pretty voice; it sounds like floating on a cloud. She stands near the girl, waiting for her to finish singing.

Auria stopped when she was approached and smiled. "Hello," she replied. "my name is Auria." she told the girl, her wings fluttering softly. "What is your name?" she asked. She could tell this girl was a demon but, being an angel, she paid no mind to it. "Are you a student?" she then asked, seeing that she looked around Auria's age.

"You have a lovely voice!" exclaimed Mia. She extended a hand. "My name is Mia, it's nice to meet you, Auria!" She huddled more into her large, tan trenchcoat, shivering. "It's cold out, huh?" She changed the subject skillfully. Her age wasn't something she identified herself with...

((Gotchya, I changed my post a bit. I'm actually needing to get off soon. It's 3 am here and I'm tired. ^^ I'm sure everyone will be on tomorrow though. I'll just jump forward a little. I'm sorry, I'm just getting really tired.))

Auria smiled and nodded shaking her hand. "Thank you, Mia." she said softly, blushing at the compliment. "Yea it is cold, I was just heading up to my dorm to warm up with a hot shower." she said with a laugh. She chatted with the girl and found out that she was a teacher. "Well I don't think I have you for any classes but I'm sure I'll see you around campus." she said with a smile. "Stay warm!" she called out before walking to her dorm.

Once in her dorm, Auria took a hot shower and relaxed under the water pressure. She was making sure she had every word and note memorized so she didn't mess up in front of the class. She finally got out, after almost turning into a prune and got dressed for bed. Yawning, she brushed through her hair and climbed into bed. She glanced over at the chair and saw the painting she had done earlier. She first person that came to her mind was Daniel and she sighed softly. She knew that he probably only thought of her as a student, but she couldn't help but think about him. He is absolutely gorgeous for crying out loud. She slowly drifted off to sleep, thinking only of him.

Second Day of Classes!!

Thank you!!!

[[Hehe it's 4 here, I should probably be heading off to bed myself, as well!]]

Mia smiled, watching the girl go. She decided that heading off to her own dorm room might be a good idea, so she began trudging off through the snow, teeth chattering.

She felt herself defrosting with the sudden heat as she entered the Demons' building. Her head was buzzing with the thoughts of the day. This certainly was an odd school, but she was strangely glad to be teaching here...

Even though most demons stayed up late into the night, Mia preferred to keep human hours. She sank into a bubbly pink bath for a few minutes, continuing to reflect. It was so nice, she thought, that the angel girl - Auria - hadn't even said anything about her being a demon.

She got up, dried off, and slipped into bed, sighing in the lavender incense she'd been burning.

And she dreamt of...

The werewolf got up from bed a little earlier than he was used to. He couldn't figure out why in the world he would wake up at 5:30 am for no reason whatsoever, normally rising only right before he needed to start moving to get to class on time and no earlier. He raked his fingers through his blue hair and glared angrily at his alarm clock that had just turned 5:31. Flopping his head back down on the airy pillow, the teen attempted to return to sleep but was disappointed to find he couldn't. Strangely, trying to go back to sleep tired him out, but not the kind of fatigue that made one sleep easier. It was more of an annoying stress and he finally gave in to his wide awake eyes. He haphazardly donned a polo shirt, not bothering to button it up, and walked out to the kitchen. After eating a cold cereal breakfast, he returned to his room, took a quick shower, and got dressed. He wondered what else he could do to pass the time. Spica already finished reading the books he borrowed from the library so he figured he would just return them as they were now only taking up space on his already book crowded shelves and floor. He took the books and stuffed them into his bag before leaving the dorm and heading for the library. As he walked through the nearly empty school halls, the designs of a few stained glass windows caught his attention. They had roses in them, images that seemed to lift a veil of vagueness from his mind. He suddenly remembered the scent of roses, the blue of the sky and the sea. The boy knew it was from his dream last night but they seemed like only a part of it. Was there something else? Someone perhaps? He shook off these shards of memory and continued on towards the library. There's no use straining to remember it, he figured. If he will he will, and if he won't then that was all he could do. It was only a dream after all. Still, the thought of the dream lingered in the back of his mind.

Daniel was floating on the sunset with a girl in his arms, though he couldn't discern who she was. They gently kiss each other and she nuzzles against his chest lovingly. He pets her softly, running his hand through her hair...but then they drift apart slowly. He tries to follow her and keep her, but she's already too far gone, leaving nothing but wet tears on his chest. The sun finally sets and brings about night, and then suddenly Daniel is walking down the street, arm-in-arm with a different woman. His attentions are snatched away from the girl when the sharp sound of tires screeching against asphalt pierce his ears. The deadly contraption careens toward them at high speeds...


...and Daniel's alarm clock goes off, his eyes snapping open and his body in a cold sweat. He shakes his head, sitting up and fumbling to shut off the noisy thing. It is nearly 6:30 A.M. as he takes a quick shower, swallows his medication and gets dressed, walking quickly to his art class--he's nearly an hour and a half early, but that's okay for him. He unlocks the door and steps inside, turning on the lights and sitting at his desk, using the remote there to turn on the stereo.

BEEP BEEP BEEP!!! Rang out from the annoying alarm clock on the nightstand beside the bed. Auria reached over sleepily and slapped around the top of it, looking for the snooze button. Though she knew that she needed to get up and be ready to sing in front of the art class. Her heart and mind raced momentarily and she turned off the alarm clock quickly. She yawned and stretched, looking about her room. After wiping the sleep from her eyes she got up and went to her closet, looking for something suitable to sing in. She chose one of her old choir dresses; it was pure white, halter top, it laced up the back and sides with a bit of ribbon. The dress hung down to the tops of her calves, she picked out a pair of silver heels to wear with it around the school. For walking in the snow, Auria decided to wear a thick jacket over it and her boots under it that she could easily change in and out of before walking in and out of the school building. Looking at herself in the mirror she smiled softly and went to fix her long silver hair. She decied to pin it up with some purple flowers to match her eyes and curls the rest.

After Auria was finished getting ready and had eaten, it was time for her to run off the art. She put her things in her bag, including a change of clothes for gym and pulled on her boots and jacket. She darted out the door, down the hall, and to the art classroom. She was extremely nervous by the time she reached the room, her heart was pounding in her ears as she took her seat and waited for class to begin.

Daniel was standing at the front of the class, writing things on the blackboard. He was wearing much different clothes than yesterday - black jeans and a long-sleeved white shirt under a black t-shirt which read 'Chaos A.D.'. The blackboard said: 'Presentation Order' on it, and a list of names with numbers correlating to who would go when. '1 - Alexia; 2 - Auria; 3 - Brandon' and so on. After he's finished determining the order, he goes and sits back down at his desk, giving Auria a smile as he sees her. A few students, all girls, come up to the front desk and talk to him.

"So, um, teacher, what is wrong with your hand?" One of them asks, pointing to his gloved hand. He blinks at her, then holds up that arm, looking at it. "Why, it's crippled, obviously. I can't use it without feeling great amounts of pain. Lucky for me, my medications include day-long painkillers, so it doesn't affect me as much as it should." he replies, his voice confident and strong. "Wow! Really? What happened to you?" Another one asks in a sing-song voice. Daniel looks out the window next to his desk, deciding how to respond. Finally, he says "It was a long time ago, there's no need to dig up the past." There's an air of finality to his statement, and the girls nod dejectedly and start talking to him about other things; like music and art.

Auria smiled back at Daniel, trying to hide her blush. She looked down at her paper when the few girl students went up to talk to him. She listened, wanting to know what they were asking him. She looked at him sadly when he spoke about his hand. Her eyes went wide when she finally looked at the board. Waiting until the girls had gon back to their desk, Auria went up to him. "Um.. Daniel..?" she started softly. "I don't know if I can go second...." she told him, keeping her voice low. "I'm.... scared." she explained. 'I barely have enough nerve to talk to you sometimes...' she thought to herself, looking up at him.

He nods at her knowingly, sighing softly. "Alright, then. I will change it up--besides, I know a student who wants to go earlier rather than later, so I can switch your names." He stands up slowly, looking at the clock--they had a little bit before the bell rang. He erases Auria's name at number 2 and writes down 'Trent' instead, and then erases 'Trent' at number 14 and writes Auria's name there instead. "There, is that better?" He sits back down after tossing the chalk carelessly on the holder on the bottom of the blackboard, smiling at her.

Auria sighed in relief. "Thank you. I'm sorry. It's just something I got from my mother." she explained softly, smiling at him. She went back to her seat and switched out her shoes, pulling her heels on slowly. She looked down at her papers. Her sang the song in her head, hoping she had it memorized completely. She closed her eyes, her lips moving silently as she sang the words in her head.

Soon enough, the bell rang, and Daniel stood up at his desk. "Alright, students! Welcome to the second art class of the trimester. As you know, you have an art presentation to give today!" He pauses, then nods. "Oh, by the way, I've had a few questions. No, don't worry, I won't give you very much homework. I usually will give you a few days for a project like this, but I want to get class going fast so that's why it's due today." He puts his hands behind his back, grasping them--a brief expression of pain flashes on his face, but it disappears before anyone can really notice. "Now! How many of you did not finish your project?" He asks the class--a few people raise their hands sheepishly, and he nods. "Very well, then you will not have to present. You will get an incomplete on the assignment until you present it to me or the class, and then I will give half credit." He makes his way to the blackboard and erases the names of those who didn't do the project, a total of seven people. "Okay, as you see, the first person is Alexia. Go ahead and bring your project up."

And class passes this way. Most of the presentations are par for the course, with a few being sub-par and a few being better than average. A tower of toothpicks, a collage of photographs of famous male models, a scrapbook of last year's classes, a girl in an elaborate outfit with her hair styled crazily. One person sang a Metallica song, one person showed the class a riff he made on guitar, one person even just stood there and said 'I am art.' and got full marks. Soon enough, Daniel looks at the blackboard and nods. "Okay, next is Auria. Come up and present when you're ready."

Auria watched as the other students presented, her nerves slowly disappearing. But as soon as he called her name, they were right back. Her palms were sweating as she stood up. "Okay.." she said softly, trying to keep her voice from cracking. She took a deep breath and smiled at him softly. "I think I'm ready...." she told him quietly, taking another breath.
"Think of me....
Think of me fondly,
when we've said good bye,
Remember me,
Once in a while,
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that once again,
you long to take your heart back and be free
If you'll ever find a moment,
Spare a thought of me....
(Musical break)
We never said,
Our love was evergreen,
Or as unchanging as the sea,
But if you can still, remember
Stop and think of me....
Think of all the things we've shared and seen...
Don't think about the way things...
Might have been...
Think of me..
Think of my waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me
Trying to hard to put you from My mind
Recall those days
Look back on all those times,
Think of all the things we'll never do...
There will never be A day...
When I won't think of you....
(Another musical break)
Flowers fade,
The fruits of summer fade...
They have their seasons so do we..
But please promise me that sometimes..
You will think... of... Me......"
She had her eyes closed the entire time she sang, not able to see anyone around her made it easier. Though, in her head, she could only see Daniel. When she was finished she slowly opened her eyes and looked around, her face growing red.

((If you do know where this song is from, don't hound me about it. I said nothing about Auria writing the song. I do know that it is from Phantom of the Opera. But I love this song and it is my favorite. Plus I can sing it in real life. ^^ ))

The class was speechless. Daniel was as well, his eyebrows raised as he begins clapping for her. Most of the students follow his example, clapping loudly for the girl, clearly impressed with her singing voice. "That was great, Auria." He smiles at her. "Full marks. You have a wonderful singing voice." he tells her, scribbling something down on a piece of paper that he's been using to grade the students. "I should have you sing for us more, that was quite a treat." He chuckles to himself, then calls out the next name. "Okay, Robert, you're up next!"

The rest of the class passes all too quickly, and before he knows it the bell to leave has already rang. "Well, we're out of time. We finished all of the presentations just in time, luckily." He says out loud, shuffling some papers and going to the blackboard. "No homework or anything tonight, just be prepared for tomorrow!" He begins erasing the names and writing down his next period classes names, humming to himself lightly, remembering Auria's fantastic singing as the students file out.

Auria blushed deep red when Daniel was the first one to clap for her. "Thank you.." she said quietly, sitting back down. Her face continued to stay red until the end of class. She watched the other students present their projects. She kept glancing at Daniel throughout the classes. She couldn't help it though. In her hand was a sketching pencil, her sketchbook was open and her hand was just dancing across a page while she watched the other students. She didn't even realize it until class was over and she looked down. It was the same picture as before but it seemed as though the shadowed man was closer up in the picture, though not by much.

((Where are we?? O.O))

((Art class dear. ^^ ))

((xD Oh! Ok!))

((Haha yea, we presented projects that were due today. ^^))

[[ I'm going AFK for a few hours to go shopping. Just assume the day passed naturally and I'll pick up at the time when I get back. If Auria comes in at lunch, then that's where I'll start. ]]
