Chapter 8: Settled

YAY, I GOT MY ELECTRONICS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! You know, these past ten days have been some of the best days of my life, but I still missed Wattpad and all you wonderful Wattpaders or whatever you guys are called. Sorry for the small hiatus, but I am back. Unfortuntely, I was lazy again and didn't write the next chapter, so there's no instant upload. Not that you guys care anyways, right? :o

NOTE: I wrote this part on an airplane on a Google Doc with no wifi, so DON'T BLAME ME FOR ALL THE MISTAKES IN THIS CHATER, BLAME MY PARENTS FOR DRAGGING ME OUT ON A TWO WEEK LONG TOUR OF EAST BAY COLLEGES, 'KAY?

JK, don't, my parents are awesome. It's not my fault they want to get me ready like, four years early. It's never too late to have a good education after all, am I right?

So yeah, ignore all the horrible mistakes and I'm so happy right now because as I'm writing this A/N, I'm going home after having been away for a month! YAY!!!!!!!!

Again I'm sorry about the fact that the last chapter was all talky and stuff, but that is all very important to the plot of the story. Don't worry, next chapter is where the action starts. The first class of the day will be power control class! Don't know what that is? Well, you'll just have to read the chapter to find out! *blows a kiss*

You know, I just noticed that these A/N's have gotten a lot weirder, so I'm going to stop this right now so you guys can read, all right?

The purpose of housing in Primrose Academy is to provide a homey atmosphere for the students. That is why a good third of the academy's budget is spent on nothing but the dormitories for both students and staff.

Chapter 8: Settled

"Now that's what I call a dinner!"

Reed laughed as his food obsessed friend, Barney "Pig" Weisenburger, stretched his arms as the two followed the rest of the group out of the Great Hall. As one could probably guess, the dorms and schools were arranged in the traditional pattern-air at top left, fire at top right, water at bottom left, and earth at bottom right. If one were to stand at the central gate, the Air dorm would be located Northwest, the Fire dorm located Northeast, the Water dorm located Southwest, and the Earth dorm located Southeast.

There were three buildings that housed the classes for the three core subjects. Both history and literature classes were in the North. The classrooms for air and water control were located in the West while the classrooms for fire and earth were located in the East.

That way, those of compatible base powers would be learning in the same buildings.

After pigging out on red meat and desserts for a few hours, all the groups were forced to get up and leave the Main Hall to get ready for bed. Classes would start at eight sharp the next morning, and everyone, even the first years, knew that to be late on the first day meant to be on the bad side of the professor for the rest of the year.

Reed was lucky enough to only have four consistent classes for this quarter. Third and fourth years didn't have to take any of the subdivision classes anymore unless they really wanted to. Most chose to take classes only under the core subjects which meant that they would have four classes that would sum up to an eight hour school day, the same amount of time all the other poor eight-class-takers spent at school. The third and fourth years would have an hour of history and literature each, then six hours of power control split into blocks of three. The first and second years took eight classes a day, each an hour long. Four of them were history, literature, and two power control classes. The other four were class courses under a core subject.
