Sounds great, Ashlee! Maybe the two could be friends? 

~

Suddenly I'm overcome with a wave of sadness. Exchanging book quotes with Quill made me think of Russ. Oh, Russ... I finally can't bear it anymore. "Hey Quill,"  I mew quietly.  "Did you know that Scylla used to have another AE?"

Quill looks interested.  "Tell me?"

I nod, drawing  in a deep breath.  "Yes. Well,  more like my sibling of unidentified gender," I add with a wry laugh. "Its name was Russ. Russet Libris La'Verne Dracora."

"Why does it remind you of quotes?" she inquires. 

"Well,  Russ only spoke in book quotes," I explain

"You say 'spoke' in past tense," Quill notes. "What happened to Russ? If I may ask," she adds hastily. 

"It's okay," I murmur. "Russ...passed away."

Quill gasps. "Oh, Hallia. I'm so sorry."

I turn my head away. "It's hard to talk about."

Indeed, they would be great friends!

Quill~

During the last few minutes of lunch, Hallia tells me something of a dreadful sorrow. Scyla's other AE, Russ, passed away. I am lost for words, unable to say much.

"Oh, Hallia, I'm so sorry," I whisper, pain setting in my own heart now.

I have always been the sensitive type towards death. While no one's ever passed away who I was close to, it affects me still very strongly. Hallia turns her head away and looks down to the grass.

"It's hard to talk about," she says.

I open my mouth to speak as the bell rings. History's next.

"I... I'll see you around?" I ask hesitantly.

"Of course," Hallia says, looking up at me with a watery smile. "It's not your fault. It was a pleasure meeting you, I'll see you around."

Then she's gone.

Sorry, this is a shorter one. I just wanted to finish that conversation up. A longer post for Zeon is coming right up. 

~Violet

OMG, my first day of middle school! I'm so nervous! I walk in I see lots of people mingling with friends. I'm the opposite of that, I'm just a locum nobody ): I felt like crying when I saw a girl walking in the halls she looked like my sister, Glow. as she came closer I realised she WAS my sister! I ran up to her and gave her a Big hug I felt so much better knowing my sister was at this school battling the same problems as me! ''hi Violet'' she says as I give her a  hug ''happy I'm here?'' she asks willingly ''yes I was afraid I was on my own'' ''so you decided to come?'' she asks ''yes I don't know if I'll drop out'' I say ''you'll be fine!'' ''I don't know what class to go too, though....'' ''here'' she says handing me her SmartPhone this is my list of classes I do during the day I go to P.E and'' she says pulling out a piece of paper out if her backpack  ''you go to Math'' she says handing the paper to me it has a list of your schedule for the day! the principle said today's  your first day and to go give it to you.'' she says ''thanks, Glow, you're the best!'' I say ''anytime'' she says happily ''follow me I'll  take you there!'' she runs with me too a door ''here it is'' she says pointing at a door with math equations on it ''I gotta go to P.E but... look at the list if needed'' she says running off i take a deep breath and walk in i see an angry teacher glaring at some kids running around spitting spitballs out of straws boy, did she not look happy. I walk up to her she finally got them back into their desks whipped a boy with green half shaved hair with a roller  and she took a deep breath and sat down in  the teacher's desk ''umm hello I'm Violet the new student here'' I say ''hello I'm the algebra teacher you can call me, Mei'' she said unhappily '' your seat is over here next to baelfire'' she says I sit down this baelfire boy looked nervous he was chewing the tip of his eraser nervously and was scribbling on his piece of paper his desk was on fire and he had red almost fiery red hair orange flame looking eyes and was wearing an orange cloak his expression looked nervous I just wanted to go over there and help him out.. he looked so nervous I felt bad but I knew if I got out even a bit out of my chair I would be on mei's bad side and I did NOT want that to happen I almost had something drawing me to the boy was it his flaming orange eyes or red flame looking hair or his personality  or his orange cloak I did not know I but I know that I have a crush on him! maybe middle school won't be so bad after all! (:

~Glow

Well, Art class did not go so well... but, I'm sure my other classes will be great! just as I was checking what I had to do now on my SmartPhone I bumped into a boy he had Teal colored Eyes a blue hoodie little Bat Wings and green half shaved green Hair he looked so awesome! ''umm...'' i said my mind went blank so i said the only thing that could come to mind ''oh no! I'm so sorry!'' I say helping him pick up his books and pencils ''no prob'' he says ''I'm Zeon what's your name?'' ''hello Zeon'' I say ''I'm Glow'' ''cool'' he says ''anyway'' he says picking his last few books must be off I'm going to learn how to surf with my Bro 8-Piece'' he says grabbing his skate board out of his locker ''bye Glow!'' he says hopping on his skate  board ''hope to see you around!!'' he says riding down the halls after a boy who looked like a surfer ''bye'' i say dreamingly I totally have a crush on that boy! (:

Here's a longer post for everyone's favorite AE. That was sarcasm. Although I find many people actually do like Zeon. It's shocking.

Zeon~

On my way to History, I think back over Algebra and Lunch. During Algebra, I met this really wild group of AEs. Grace, a gummy bear fanatic; Masked Piester, the best pie throwing champ ever; Fudimo, this dark, evil wizard boy; my new bro, 8-Piece; and a bunch of others. During lunch, I sat at a hugely crowded table with the Crazies as I call them now. In other words, 8-Piece, Grace, MP, this awesome, shy, flaming kid, Nougat, and a few others. Fudimo went sulking off to find "muggles" to curse. Weird kid.

I enter the history room with Grace tagging behind me.

"Whatcha up to?" She asks.

"Preparing to die of boredom," I grin.

Grace is a cool kid and great friend. She is also a huge gamer - especially with Candy Crush. She makes me think of... someone. A... A girl back at home, who doesn't go to this school. Arwen.

Arwen is my all-time big crush, but unfortunately, she hasn't transferred to this school yet. I miss her sooo much...

"Sweet," Grace says, plopping a gummy bear in her mouth.

"Uh... yeah," I mumble, beginning to daydream of Arwen.

Bad idea when you have Icy as a teacher.

I plop down in my desk, promptly late. Just like Algebra.

"Mr. Zeon, do you mind explaining why you were approximately 17 seconds late to class?

I can't help but grin at this. Something hits the back of my head, a paper ball. Unfolding it, it reads, Dude, you're going to get it from her now!

Teacher Icy raises her eyebrows, walks over, and deftly plucks the paper from my hands. Her face twists into disgust and anger as she looks down at me.

"Did you draw this, Mr. Zeon?" Icy asks coldy, holding up a crude drawing of her with a mustache. Classic.

"Err... I didn't!" I exclaim, laughing.

Numerous other students join in, having seen the picture. I turn my head and catch MP giving the classic "prankster grin" of Ooohhh, look who I got in trouble. Yeah, thanks a lot, bro. I shoot MP a grin, nonetheless, because it was quite funny.

I get slapped in the head. Hard. "Mr. Zeon, must I send you to the Principal's office?"

"N-No sir," I stammer. "I-I mean, Maam."

"Mr. Zeon, this is the last straw. One hour detention after class. Now be silent!" 

"Ooohh, Zeon's in trouble!" MP mocks in the corner, quietly.

"An hour for you as well, Master Piester!"

The rest of class was... let's just say, boring.

I spent the rest of it daydreaming about my home crush Arwen, begging upon begging she'd transfer to the school.

~

For MP, it could be possible to work out of/wreck detention if one wishes. Ultimately, it's up to you. And great going, MP, you got Zeon in nasty trouble from Icy. 

If someone else wants Algebra. . . I could do Mandarin. . . XD XD XD

Please, no more AETCHAs.... or CAPTCHAEs...I just want Chilly & Hallia to be original..

~Chilly

Lunch is next! I fiddle in my backpack, trying to find my lunch, but instead I accidentally pull out a few pictures of my family. I stand in the middle of the hall, looking at them, when some violet-skinned purple-haired tuxedo-wearing guy completely knocks me over as he walks through the halls!

The entire contents of my backpacks spill out. "Hey!" I call, but he doesn't listen. Tears well up in my eyes. How could this day get any worse.

~Frosty

I help Chilly up. "I have to go help Miss Xue out after class." I say. Her face has streaks of tears running down it. "What happened?" I ask, smoothing her hair back gently. "It's just nothings going right for me..." That's when I notice her backpack lying on the floor, books, lunch,  and all spilling out. "Who pushed you over?" I ask. She sniffled. "This Violet guy..." "Sounds like MewFour..." I murmur. MewFour. Guess who I'm gonna beat up tonight?

~Chilly

After Frosty cleans up my stuff, I head to the lunchroom, find an empty seat and table in the corner, unpack my lunch, and hope I feel better soon. I wish I had someone like me here (hinthinthalliahinthint).....It's not easy being the only AETCHA with ice powers who likes to become popular who isn't popular at all....

Just a lonely girl. 

Thanks, Ashlee! By the way, I missed a period in my previous post after "explain".

@Ashlee and Mei: Sorry for this awfully long, descriptive post...I went to the planetarium yesterday, learned cool and somewhat scary stuff, and suddenly imagined a scene with Quill and Hemin. If this is not how you think they'd act, then tell me and we'll just ignore this post. 

2nd period.

Mellie-

Paris and I are strolling through the noisy hallway, talking about Twenty One Pilots. We start singing Stressed Out. When we attempt to do the low voice part we crack up because we sound like doofuses. Somehow that leads us to doing gorilla impressions as we make our way to our next period, which is the same class: Science.

I sit at a desk next to Paris in the third row, behind 8-Piece, who is watching Hemin, who sits in the first row a few seats away from Quill, organize her binder.

Paris grins and says quietly to me, "I so ship them. I think they'll be really sweet together."

"Me too," I reply as the science teacher walks in front of the class. She has leopard ears sprouting from her blonde hair tied up in a ponytail. She appears pretty happy to be teaching Science.

"I'm Clouded Leopard, your science teacher. Now, typically a middle school science teacher would start today with half an hour on what we'll be doing over the year, then start on the first unit: Scientific Method. You know, the parts of an experiment, lab safety, et cetera, et cetera." A couple groans. I agree with the groaners; that is always a very boring topic, and we have to learn it each year.

"But I know you guys probably aren't too crazy about that. I think the first week of school should be fun. So instead of telling you how to write a hypothesis, I declare today Random Topic Day. We pick a fun, cool, random science topic, have a discussion about it, watch some fun, cool videos and photos about it, and later do an activity, a group activity. So I'm going to generate a topic with my Science Topic generator here..." She goes to her computer connected to the projetor onto the Smart Board. We watch as she clicks a virtual spinner. "And the topic is...the Aurora borealis!"

I decide that I like this teacher. She's enthusiastic. I love enthusiasm! With her, this Science year is going to be fun!

She starts off by showing us photos and videos of the Aurora borealis that we oohed and ahed over. I'm amazed by the beautiful lights, the way they dance around the night sky, morphing and changing colors.

She tells us myths people believe about them, then for a long time she tells us how they are created, by solar eruptions on the Sun. The eruptions send these sun particles shooting towards Earth, and they "excite" the molecules in Earth's atmosphere.

Clouded Leopard shakes her head. "But I'm getting ahead of myself! Can someone tell me wherethe Aurora Borealis is found?"

Hemin's hand shoots up, of course. She loves school. I love school too, but I'm not a genius like Hemin, knowing the answers to every question. I've heard some people make fun of her for it, calling her a smart-aleck or a nerd, but I admire her for it. What's not to admire about intelligence? The only thing that's bothered me about her was in Algebra, when the math teacher only called on her, when Quill, who was obviously smart too, was raising her hand too.

The CBer teacher calls on her and she says, "The Aurora borealis effect is found in the North Pole, which is why it is commonly referred to as the Northern lights. However, there is one other spot on earht where the same effect takes place, noly under a different name: at the South Pole, known scientifically as Aurora australis, or the Southern Lights."

Quill raises her hand, but teh teacher is still paying attention to Hemin, who continues. "The Earth has a magnetic field very much like that of a bar magnet, directed from the geographic South pole to geographic North pole. Charged particles streaming outward from the Sun arrive in the Earth's vicinity. Collisions in the Earth's vicinity slow them down and they subsequently get trapped in spiral paths around the planet's magnetic field lines. That's why they only occur at the poles, and only ever has occured at the poles."

Clouded Leopard looks impressed. "That is right, Hemin. Now- "

Quill, who had been fervently shaking her hand as she held it in the air interrupted her. "No, it's not!"

Clouded Leopard blinks. "Excuse me?"

"Hemin isn't right. It's not just at the poles!"

The once excited science teacher is now looking very stern. "Quill, I allow an open environment in my classroom. However, I do not tolerate rudeness and contraditicion. I am the teacher here-"

"Please, just listen! Look. 1859. September 1st. Richard Carrington, an English atronomer observed extreme solar disruptions, like nothing ever recorded before. It was one of the largest geomagnetic storms ever. That day, and the following day, the Aurora borealis effect was seen not just at the poles, but all around the world. In the Rocky Mountains, they were so bright, miners began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning, even though it was actually night. People in northeastern U.S. could read a newspaper by the aurora's light. The effect was visible everywhere, even in Africa!" Quill took a moment to let it sink in.

"Dang, I hope that happens again! That would be awesome if we could see the Northern Lights!" someone exclaimed.

"That would be beautiful," I agreed. 

Quill's expression darkened. "I should hope not. This solar storm had a dark effect too. See, this is before telephones were invented, before satellites and radio. All people had was telegraphs. This solar system disrupted telegraph systems all over North America and Europe, cuasing them to fail. All of them. And in some cases, telegraph operators were given powerful electric shocks. It was a disaster. If it were to happen today...well, let me think. It would ruin all satellite connections, all radio connections, telephone wires, signals...we depend so much on that kind of thing. The cost of that would probably rival some of the most expensive disasters in history."

"How do you this? How do we know you aren't making it up?" Hemin asked, obviously very aggravated at being corrected. Uh-oh, battle of the brains!

"Look it up. It's true," Quill replied.

Hemin pulled out her phone, with no protests from Clouded Leopard. "1859...Richard Carrington...Merlin's beard, this really did happen! And...oh."

"What? What is it?" 8-Piece asked.

"Another solar eruption like that one was due in 2001. We're overdue by 9 years." Holy cats!

Silence.

The bell rang.

Nougat was the first to stand. "On that happy note, it's time for lunch!

Lunch. (After 2nd period)

Grace-

Mellie brought a lunch, but I decided I would by cafeteria food. However, I did bring a couple packets of gummy bears.

I think back to History, which, as I had expected, was boooooooring. But now it's my favorite class of the day: lunch! Where you can eat food and cnady. Where you might have a food fight. Where you can talk as loud as you want to. Where you can socialize. 

I go to wait the lunch line, eager to stuff myself with pizza, some chips, chocolate milk, and other cafeteria junk food. I'm so excited, I may or may not cut a few people.

*****

"What the heck is THIS?!" I cry as the lunch lady plops something onto my plate. It's some sort of vegetable, wet and floppy, and not quite green. More of a faded sour green color. Yuck!

"It's green beans." More like dead beans! "Part of our Healthy Foods program." Healthy Foods?

Then she gives me a mini carton of skim milk. Skim milk?! And she puts mushy white stuff on my plate, with lots of little lumps in them. Are those supposed to be mashed potatoes? They are a disgrace to mashed potatoes!

I have higher hopes as she picks up a slice of pizza...until I see that it is completely covered in shrivelled broccoli. WHAT KIND OF CAFETERIA IS THIS? Which is exactly what I say.

"WHAT KIND OF CAFETERIA IS THIS?!" I yell. "First of all, I don't even LIKE healthy veggies. But even if I did...you gotta be kidding me! This isn't even healthy! These vegetables are obviously not in prime condition! Where did you get them, the garbage? I think it might even be safer to eat junk food!"

"Look kid, I don't make the food. I distribute it. The district sends us the Healthy Foods, we stick it in the freezer, we warm it up. I need your card." She snatches my lunch card from my hand, but I snatch it back.

"You think I'm paying for this, lady?" I shove my tray back at her, keeping the skim milk. I gotta at least get some fluids. "Take it back."

I storm to a table with some of the friends I made in Algebra: Zeon, 8-Piece, Baelfire, Nougat, and Masked Piester, who I decide I especially like. He has a pie blaster and purple clothes! How much more awesome can you get?

"Hey, dearie-o!" he says. I laugh. He calls all the girls that. It's really funny.

"D-don't you have a lunch?" Baelfire asks.

"Well, Baely- can I call you that? I'm gonna call you that. You see, IT'S AN OUTRAGE! I REFUSE TO EAT THIS SUPPOSEDLY HEALTHY GARBAGE! First of all, I don't LIKE healhy food. Buit if you're gonna go healthy, don't give out veggies from the trash can!"

8-Piece winces as he picks the broccoli off his pizza. "You're right, this broccoli is gross. there's barely any cheese or sauce on this!"

"THIS IS AN INJUSTICE!' MP declares.

I take a sip of my skim milk, and resist the urge to spit it out. It's so watery! It might as well be water with a few drops of milk in it.

"This cruddy healthy foods program is an outrage!" I declare, shaking my fist in the direction of the lunch line. "MARK MY WORD, THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THE LAST OF ME!" I tear open a packet of gummy bears. Mmmmmmm, delcious.

*****

Sadly, lunch does not last forever, so I have to go to a next class. My stomach grumbles. I'll take another packet of gummy bears with me to my next class.

I walk up to Zeon as he heads to his next class. "Whatcha up to?" I ask.

"Preparing to die of boredom," I grin.

"Oh, you will," I reply, and he groans. "I had history before lunch. The teacher...she's cold. No wonder her name's Icy. Be careful, she hates jokesters and talkers." 

Zeon laughs but doesn't reply. He seems to be in another world. Maybe he's drowsy from the lumpy potatoes.

I pop a gummy bear into my mouth. Yummy, yummy, yummy! "Sweet," I say.

"Uh...yeah," he replies, and walks into history.

I  head to m next class. Actually, I RUN. Theater is downstairs.

Masked Piester-

I walked up to Ms. Xue after class. "Hey, Ms.," I said, acting sheepish, "that pie throw... it wasn't Baelfire. He'd never do something like that."

She looks shocked, probably just because I'm speaking with proper grammar.

"Well... all right," she says, "you'll serve an hour in his place."

"Yes ma'am," I say.

The next class is something-or-other with Icy. Zeon, a cool guy, is being yelled at by Icy, and the next thing I know, BOOM. Detention for him.

"Look who's in trouble!" I chortle.

Aaand now I also have an extra hour of detention.

Pie meows angrily when the teacher's back is turned.

I grin. After school, I have a detention to trash. 

Yes, that seems like a thing Hemin and Quill would do... They might be friends, but even friends get into brainiac contests. Trust me, I've had plenty of those.

Zeon~

After school, I drag myself to Icy's classroom but don't enter yet. Where on earth is MP?

"Bro, where are you...?" I wonder out loud.

"Right behind you!" Masked Piester says in an excited whisper. "But not for long. I'm ditching detention."

"D-Ditching detention? That's cool and all, but HOW?" I ask.

MP holds up a sweet, purple pie launcher. Key to our success.

"Hey, can you get me out, too?" I ask.

"Hehe, if it wasn't for you, I'd be long gone from detention," MP grins. "Just walk in and let me do my magic."

We enter the room, heads down in fake shame.

"Mr. Zeon, Mr. Masked Piester, you both are late," Icy says, looking up from her desk. "Take a seat, you two are to do pop quizzes for an hour. Let me say, your score will affect your grade-"

Suddenly, something blue splatters on the outside of a window. Pie. I keep my head down and begin the test, trying to suppress a grin. To my right, MP holds a little remote under his desk, and begins to smash the buttons.

Pies of different flavors smash the windows of Icy's room from the outside. The CBer squeals in shock and runs to the window, looking outside. MP raises his hidden pie launcher and shoots pies at Icy. She turns, hearing the sound, but is blinded by blueberry pies. Classic, bro. Classic.

MP motions to the door as Icy let's out a scream of fury. Let's go! He mouths.

As we exit the room and race down the hallway, I give MP a high five.

"Thanks, bro! I would have failed that detention test."

"No problem, you can always trust the MP," Masked Piester says. "Err... Most of the time." 

We head separate our separate ways, home for the day. Tomorrow would be... a pleasure. Especially seeing Icy's face. 

~

Hope that doesn't control MP too much. It just seems like something he would do to get out of detention. Well, as stated, MP would have been long gone if Zeon wasn't still stuck there.
