Chapter 2: She doesn't even go here!

[Name] approached the circle of cloaked students, hearing their hushed voices converse with each other. They all seemed like such characters from what she was hearing but there were just so many of them... Her heartbeat's pace increased with every step she got closer! Instinctively, she shied behind Crowley, who merely smiled at her anxiousness, finding her timidity endearing as she used him as a hiding spot.

"Nervous?"

"Oh shut up..." [Name] blushed, embarrassed. She immediately regretted her rude dismissal for fear at Crowley's magical capabilities but, thankfully, he merely laughed.

"You'll fit right in!"

A figure with a gorgeous shade of ruby red hair peaking through under his hood started to speak. Voice eloquent, smooth and extremely composed. It gave [Name] goosebumps. "Is that all for the new student dorm assignments? Listen up, new students. Here in Heartslabyul, I am the rules. Break them and it's off with your head."

What a strict figure... But she's so small... Wait that's a guy, I'm an idiot this is an all-boy school except for me for some reason.

"....Uuugghh. The stuffy ceremony is finally over. We're going back to the dorm. Savanaclaws, follow me." A deep, smooth voice almost purred and [Name] face dropped in dumbfound at the lion's tail swinging slowly from out the base of his cloak. She wanted a tail!

"To the new students, congratulations on entering this academy. Enjoy your life here to its fullest. As the dormitory leader of Octovinelle, I will support you to the best of my ability." A honeyed voice decreed from a fellow she couldn't quite see.

"By the way, where did the dean go? He flew out right in the middle of the ceremony..." A feminine tall boy said with such a silvery voice it was entrancing. His skin, from what [Name] could tell, was so clear! It was like he bathed in the tears of virgins for such a supple and youthful face. She would have to ask for his skincare routine later.

Her day was becoming much more bizarre as a gravelly voice came from a floating tablet that was for some reason also wearing a cloak... It was a Tpad? It didn't need clothes? "Abandoning his post..."

"Did he get a stomachache or something?" Another person said, with piercing crimson eyes.

"Not at all! Crowley's voice boomed loudly, scaring the living daylights out of [Name] who felt her soul leave her the fourth time that day and it wouldn't be the last. "I cannot believe you all. We were missing one new student so I went to find them."

He stepped aside, (the traitor!), exposing [Name] to the cloaked figures who all began to scrutinise her instantly. She played with the cuffs of her oversized robe. The clear-skin guy gasped. "A girl!"

"That's... new... Only the one though?" said the redhead, narrowing his eyes. "Why is she an exception to the school's policies and rules?"

The room's tone seemed to drop with the reveal and she felt cold to the bone. They all seemed surprised to varying degrees with the least reactive being a raise of a brow. But they were staring at her and it wasn't reassuring in the slightest. Some were even laughing.

"Crowley did you pull her off the street or something...? Her uniform doesn't fit her at all."

"Enough!" Crowley announced before motioning to the girl with a sweep of his hand to the famed Dark Mirror he wouldn't shut up about. He was talking to her now. "You are the only one yet to be assigned a dormitory. I shall watch over the raccoon, step in front of the Dark Mirror."

"Mghgmh!!!" Grim screeched from behind his sealed lips with pure rage and wrath as [Name] gingerly approached the mirror, attempting to ignore the looming eyes of the cloaked figures that followed her. It was like they were waiting for her to screw up.
