Cho's head pounded. She got tipsy, got hungover, and now was hurting. She cleaned up the room, placed blankets over everyone, ate a breakfast bar with some Advil and pulled on a flexible suit, ready to make the long trip with several naps. 

"Hey kids, hello adults, good night." She said, taking over the back of the van. She instantly dozed off.

When she finally woke up, headache dropped to a tolerable level, she walked in with Ari, Cole, and Ki. They all looked very excited, but Cole refrained from running and around and sniffing flowers, sticking his hands in the water, and getting stuck in a tree. That was all Ari, although Ki was very nervously attempting to get her unstuck. 

"This place is so big!" Ari shouts, falling out of the tree and right onto Ki. 

"Ari, try not to kill everyone before the academy actually starts." She scolded, hands on her shoulder to keep her in her sight. "Now, you have separate dorms. Ari and Cole will be with the other affiliated kids. I told you about the stigma, try not to get to upset at anyone for being rude to Ki." 

"Yes ma'am!" They said, nodding. They all split up as she went to her meeting with the principal. 

She passed Inhyuk Goo in the hallway, and bent her head respectfully. The meeting was fast, and she was leaving a bit more drained than earlier. 

She decided to make a quick trip to her unaffiliated kids and Jiwoo, only to find Jisuk was beating some kids up. 

"Jisuk Yoo." 

He froze, dropping the kid. Jiwoo jumped in, scolding Jisuk as well. 

"I'd like to know why we've been beating up children." She asked. 

"He pissed me off. Started to use his powers." He scoffed. 

"But you shouldn't do that!" Jiwoo huffed. 

"Sorry, I didn't know you knew Jisuk." The boy apologized. 

"Sorry! Are you ok?" Jiwoo asked. 

"Jisuk, don't you think you should apologize?" She shoved her elbow into his ribs. 

"Whatever." He muttered. 

"Let's go." He said, taking the other, smaller kid with him. 

"Who was that?" She asked. 

"Did you get to your room alright?" 

"Yea. Came to you." He said. 

"I have no idea where mine is." She admitted. 

"Jeez, it's far." Subin muttered, walking up. 

"Subin!" Jiwoo exclaims. 

"Hello." Cho says. They all follow Jiwoo in as Subin whines about something. 

"Ah, Jisuk, how far apart are the dorms?" 

"Different buildings." Subin said.

"They separated the affiliated and unaffiliated." She said, flicking her long brown hair behind her shoulder and pulled out her phone. 

"So that's why Jeongsu said we should stick together." Jiwoo muttered. 

"Who?" She and Jisuk asked. 

"One of the unaffiliated kids." He said. 

"Really?" 

"Wait, who?" Subin asked. 

"Some dude that was picking on them." She supplied. 

"Seriously? Why?" 

"He asked about our powers. We didn't tell him, so he threatened us." Wooin explained.
