[POV CHANGE | KAT]

I sit inside the large classroom, yawning slightly as I sit besides Finn and Mash. I place my head on the desk in front of me, my head aching as Tom shouts from behind Mash, "It's practice time! Shoot for your dreams! Land among the stars!" I whimper softly, the cool table comforting as Lemon speaks up, making her way in front of me to catch my attention, "Kat, I know you don't like studying very much so I thought it would be good if we revised some of these more together."

I let out another whimper, recalling the other night where she had us spend several hours going over different material. "Didn't we promise each other we'd reach the top?!" Tom shouted once more, Mash responding quickly with an, "I didn't." Lemon continuing towards me, "I have potions and magic history and enchantment and divination and..."

She continues with her lists of class library books and I flinch. "That's too many. We went over so many of them yesterday." Tom continues on with his rant, "Remember! This isn't a game! We are bamboo! Bamboo!" I groan, shaking my head rapidly, "What's with the bamboo...?" I hiss out, the words being ignored as Lemon continues with her nagging, "I also have magical creatures and the dark arts. You really should at least try to study!"

I whimper once more, glancing over at Finn, who flinches upon eye contact. "Finn...help us please." He winces, turning his head away as he then pretends to fall asleep. Mash looks over at that moment, preparing to ask him for assistance as well, only to look betrayed. "Traitor." I laugh slightly at his statement, tiredness still racking my body, turning my head to face towards him with my cheek resting on the table.

I let out a sigh, getting an idea spark in my mind as I turn to face Lemon quickly sitting up. It was something I've been thinking about since meeting Rayne Ames, the apparent second year student and Divine Visionary as well as my friend's older brother. His comment about not letting the blindness I have in my left eye, his words replaying in my mind, "You shouldn't feel like you have to cover up your eye, it's nothing you need to be ashamed of."

"Hey, Lemon! Can you help me with something tomorrow?" My question sparks curiosity around me, but making the girl in front of me sparkle as she nods quickly. "I would help you with anything, at any time, any where you want!" She was excited as she spoke, her energy making me give a soft smile as I hold my head up with my right hand on my cheek.

She begins stuttering violently, her face flushing a bright red as she nods rapidly. Her flustered actions make my head tilt, confusion flashing across my face and as I'm about to ask what's wrong a voice interrupts behind us all, "You seem to be having fun. Mind if I join?" The voice is familiar and I turn my head, my eyes landing on a familiar blue haired boy. "Ah, Lance."

He seems to perk up slightly at my use of his name, the four around me giving me a look of surprise at how I know the boy before us. Mash deadpans as he looks at the blue haired boy, commenting, "You're out of luck. No fun here " I chuckle, shrugging at the response as Lance returns his comment, "I see... Then let's do something that is fun." He begins rifling through his cloak as he says his words.

"You mean...hide and seek?" Mash's quick response as he stands make me hold back my laughter, "Absolutely not." Finn seems to mutter, my head soon shaking as I nod, amusement filling me at the situation. Lance remained silent as he finally held a bottle in his hands, words spilling from his mouth as he begins his explanation on the object, "This bottle is a special magical tool from ancient times."
