A/N: WINNER IS Wuz13000 ! Because the deadline passed and you all are silent, plus she has a good character. I command you, GO CHECK HER OUT! (She also me twin. :3)
A boy was standing behind us. I whipped around. He had wild raven black hair and dark black eyes. Since we haven't received our uniforms, he was dressed casually in a black T-shirt and black jeans. "I'm Jet," he introduced himself.
"Oh, I'm Ember," I smiled and held out my hand. He took it and we shook. Seto was just standing there grumpily. I think it was because we had to leave Potions class. I elbowed him sharply and nodded in Jet's direction.
"Seto," he announced shortly. Oblivious to what was clearly going on, I smiled and walked to the next class: Psychics.
*Seto's POV*
The way that new guy looked at Ember was unsettling. It was not evil, but not exactly the typical friendly gaze one would expect. I knew I was going to have to keep a close watch on her...well, closer than usual, anyways.
I hurried alongside Ember, keeping Jet away with a warning glare over my shoulder. We took seats together again, Jet casually sitting on the other side of Ember. He grinned easily at her and she seemed to smile back.
Rage was bubbling in every corner of my being, and it was using every amount of willpower I had from reducing the desk I was gripping to a pile of ashes and purple smoke.
Pretty soon the teacher walked in. He introduced himself as Mr. Ratworst and drawled on about Psychics. Once I calmed down, he was ending the lecture and launched into a new section. "Everyone can perform Psychics with the right amount of concentration and willpower. Watch," he tapped on my desk and I stood up. He beckoned me to the front and I obeyed. "I am going to try to poke Mr.?"
"Seto."
"Ah, yes. Mr. Sean's mind. He will try to block it. Now, imagine a wall or something to block my mental finger."
I had done Psychics before--a simple, necessary perk of being a sorcerer--and easily found the intruding mental image of a hand with the index finger pointed out. I formed a brick wall blocking its way. The hand punched through after a while and continued on. I summoned a baseball bat and hit the hand multiple times. It rose and slunk away.
*timelapse*
*Jet's POV*
When Seto got called up, I mentally smirked. He'd make a fool of himself. After the introductions, they stared at each other. Extensively. The whole class watched, looking for some sign of movement or change, but they kept their positions, staring glassy-eyed at one another. I could tell Ember was getting worried about her friend. Suddenly they snapped back to reality. "Good job, boy, very good job! May I keep you in after class?" Mr. Ratwort clapped Seto on the back.
"I don't see why not." Seto walked back to his seat.
"Nice job," I heard Ember whisper to Seto. He nodded and payed attention to the rest of the lesson.
***
After another half hour or so, Mr. Retort dismissed everyone but Seto. Ember and I walked out of the classroom. Finally, some time without that clingy perfectionist!
*Seto's POV*
"Sebastian, was it? Nevermind. Anyways, that was some pretty solid Psychic work there, m'boy!"
"Thank you, sir, and it's Seto." I was clapped of the back...again.
"Yes, Samuel, I know. Where did you learn this? It would have taken several years to master Psychics and perform it with such ease!" The professor exclaimed in awe.
"I'm all self taught. I've been a sorcerer since I was old enough to know the ingredients. And, sir, it's Seto."
"All I'm saying, Steven, is this is quite a feat! I've been teaching for 39 years here at Sorcerer's Academy, and though some students put on a fight, none have ever beaten me, and with such effortless flow! Bravo, Stanley!"
"Um, thank you, sir. Please, call me Seto. That is, after all, my name," I was getting uncomfortable with this man's enthusiasm and constant forgetting of my name. I mean, really, is it that hard to remember a four letter, two syllable name?
"Well, you'd best be off to your next class, Stewart. Don't want to be late!" The professor smiled cheerily and waved me off on my way. I walked into the next class. Already I could tell it would be a long day.

*Ember's POV*
The sun was just beginning to set when we all gathered in the courtyard of the school. The principal was there, sitting majestically upon a throne of quartz. She had hair the shade of a golden harp, eyes as blue as the center of a fire, and an elegant, intricately carved staff of rosewood. "Hello, students of Sorcery Academy!" Her melodious voice rang across the yard in a flattering way. "I am your principal, Ms. Sageflower. Today you have all done well accustoming to your new environment, surrounded by other magical beings, hybrids, and sorcerous humans. But, obviously, you need to sleep. Please check the papers for your name and room number." She waved her staff and papers filled with information fluttered from the sky. I caught one and checked for my name. Sure enough, it was there:
Ember ~~~~~ Room 87
I was really in a boarding school, and I can't wait to meet my roomie!
***
I opened the door to Room #87 to find a girl that was already there. "Oh, hi! My name is Toboe." (to-bo-WAY) She had shoulder length brown hair, chocolate eyes, and a cheeky grin.
"I'm Ember. It's nice to meet you!" I exclaimed cheerily. I had a feeling that living with Toboe was going to be a lot of fun, even though we just met. She just has that feel of mischief around her, and I was exited to get into all sorts of trouble.
*Seto's POV*
Room 126. That's where I was supposed to live. But with whom, I didn't have a clue.
When I reached the door, it was open a crack. I stepped in, and, of course, my roommate was a pile of tar: Jet. "You..." I sneered.
"Aw, man! I wanted somebody cool in a dorm with me!" Jet exclaimed angrily.
"Never mind my 'lack of coolness'," I snarled, "what are you doing with Ember?" I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him close to my eyes.
"Bro, chill out! She's a cute, single girl! Since when do you control her?!" Jet lurched back.
"I don't control her! She's...she's like my sister!" I yelled. My emotions exploded and purple fire spread up and across the sleeves of my cloak.
"DUDE! Are-are you an Ender Mage?!"
A/N: EXPERTS I NEED HALP IS SETO A SORCERER OR AN ENDER MAGE?! I mean, I know he's a sorcerer, but is he an Ender Mage or a human excelling in magic?
Also I am planning for 2 more boy characters. And any suggestions are completely welcome! And I really need suggestions so please suggest! Also any OCs will be put in the book. You have until July 26, 2015 to enter characters. Please no more than 2-3 per person. I'm not expecting over 10 due to your lack of interest last time but this time it's not a contest, everyone can (and will) enter! No matter whether their role is big or small they will be in here!!!
Also if you know the answer to my question comment here. If not, I'll just make him one because it's my book. #DealWithIt
