(Ava's POV)

Mrs A had just burst into the room.  And I'm surprised she didn't do a wacky musical number. She told us all to sit in a circle on the rug. To encourage bonding we had to sit heaven-hell-heaven-hell. I sat next to this sinning soul with who spelled like hot  chocolate. Mrs A instructed us to say our name and then something about ourselves. 

Mrs A chose a hellborn to start, I would be last, the hellborn looked so nervous and then stuttered "I'm Zora, I-uh live in a-a house on-on a street, it's made of stone" I don't think Zora was prepped to go first. Then it was Ainsley who explained how she is Mrs A's daughter. Then it was this frog dude I didn't hear his name but all he said was that he liked frogs. Then it was Aster he bragged about his "charismatic charm". Then it was this emo hellborn who said his pronouns were they/them. It was then Oakley who said he was tired. Wow Oakley way to introduce yourself. It was then the soul next to me's turn. "Hi, I'm Mackenzie and a Sagittarius". I stared at Mackenzie for a second then remembered it was my turn "I'm Ava and my favourite colour is white". I mentally smack my for head, I'm wearing all white it's obvious what my favourite colour is. 

The circle is dispersed and we are left to interact. I go over to Mackenzie and try (keyword: try) to make conversation. "So how do you like the weather?" This was the perfect conversation starter I could think of. Mackenzie looked shock at the question. "Oh, um it's much cooler here" I laugh. She then took a venture that I never expected. "So can you die here?" I was dumbfounded and just stared at her.

(Mackenzie's POV)

I'm so stupid. I'm talking to Ava. Ava she made me nervous and awkward and I not sure why. I just asked her if she can die. She's already done it once why did I ask her if she could do it again. I try to change the topic but utterly fail. "I just, I can't die in Hell so I was wondering if you could die in heaven". She paused for a second then spoke up, "nothing in heaven can really kill you so , I don't know". I breathe a sigh of relief because she doesn't hate me. We talk forever about our worlds and ourselves. We talk to recess.

 We talk together on a bench she is so beautiful. She has the cutest skin that she owns. Her white patches are in just the right place and he's hair is so fluffy. I get lost in her eyes, she smells like peppermint. I think I like her.

(Ava's POV)

Mackenzie has a gold nose ring and little fangs. She's a writer and I was freaking out because I am a bit of an actress. We laugh.  Mrs A calls us inside and I race Mackenzie inside.
