   Jade and Leppy were the first ones in the classroom, no one else, not even the teacher was there. There was a desk and a chalkboard in the room, but there was a big one desk in the whole room. The rest of the rooms had bean bags scattered together in a wide circle in the room, and there was a big box on the teacher's desk though it was closed. On the chalkboard written in big letters read "Journaling."

   Jade looked around uncertainly, then back to Leppy who was hopping around looking around the room, "This is much different than I imagined. Never seen a class in high school with bean bags before." She said softly looking around.

   Leppy stopped and looked over before giggling, "At least we know it's the right room! This is the class we are supposed to be in!" She said, grinning brightly.

   Jade listens and nods quietly, seeming about to speak before tensing up, and looking to her side as another person entered.

   At first, she thought the person was a guy, they were dressed in brown pants, a white long-sleeved shirt, and a grey button-up sweater vest. Then she saw the girl's face. She had short, bob-cut wavy auburn hair, emerald green eyes though the eye shape reminded her of someone she couldn't quite place, a deep scar across her nose, and a medium complexion. She also had a slight stumble in her walk, like she was hurt. She stood at about 6'4" tall.

   As soon as Leppy saw the new girl she bounced over, practically knocking her over on accident, "Hi, I'm Leppy! What's your name?"

   The girl immediately stumbled back, frowning and narrowing her eyes studying Leppy, "Clara, and aren't you a ball of energy?" She said though she sounded a bit sarcastic.

   Leppy blinks before grinning and giggling, "Yep I am! Are you excited for this class?" She asked bouncing a bit and watching her.

   Clara frowns before shrugging, "Not really. I wanted to take Gothic Literature but the class was full and that teacher refused to teach me after I allegedly tried to punch them. Doesn't matter that they made the racial homophobic slur about me first."

   Jade blinks looking at her confused, tilting her head, "Teachers are supposed to stop things like that from being said, not do it themselves!"

   Clara looks over to Jade, shrugging simply, "Yeah well, the teachers are supposed to stop a lot of crap and they don't care or they add to it. Like with that power of yours, I saw it activate and how it affected you and you still got detention. They should just get rid of the rule unless the kid is doing something dangerous. Who are you? Oh wait let me guess, your ball of energy's girlfriend aren't you?"

   Jade goes crimson glancing to Leppy and then back to Clara, "I, uh, no. Just her sister. I'm Jade."

   Clara listened, examining her before shrugging, "Alright whatever you say. Nice to meet you Jade, and you too Leppy," though she sounded a bit sarcastic at you too for Leppy.

   "Why are we blocking the doorway?" A soft voice asked behind them.

   Clara blinked and moved out of the way, stumbling into the teacher's desk, gripping it as she almost fell, "Sorry" she said, managing to steady herself. She then went to the desk in the back corner, sitting on the table itself, gripping the edges to steady herself.

   Leppy watched before looking to the doorway and smiling brightly, "Geo! Your back!"

   A girl of around 5'2" walked in, smiling and shaking her head, "Nice to see ya too Leppy, also slight issue. You're not on the swim team this year, because of what happened with you skipping classes last year. We need a replacement for you unless you don't skip anymore this year."
