*Austin's POV*
Samantha hurries out the door to History but I quickly catch up.
"Samantha's too long. I'm calling you Sammie," I tell her. She shrugs. "You know we have most classes together, so you might as well get used to me following you. And hanging out with you."
Sammie stops walking and turns to face me, "Let me get one thing clear. I am not interested in you. Okay? I will put up with walking to class with you and living in the same house as you, but I'm not going to date you. Got it?"
"You do realise that we met yesterday?"
"Doesn't matter. I can tell you're a jerk," she walks off again.
"Hang on!" I stop her, "You don't even know me! How can you say I'm a jerk?"
"Fine then... I think you're a jerk. And I'm not interested. So if you have any plans to 'woo' me, give up."
"Whatever babe," I give her a wink and walk off to class.

We walk into the history class room and I take in the surroundings. The room looks exactly like a normal classroom. 12 two-seat desks were arranged into rows of four. Sammie and I are the only ones in the room. Looks like we're early.
Sammie sits down at a desk in the front of the room. I sit next to her.
"All of the desks are empty," she points out. "And you had to sit here," she moves to another desk. I follow her. "Stop following me you creep!" We repeat this process until we're sitting at the back of class. Students are starting to file in and choose seats now.
"Look, just stop moving. I'm tired. I promise I won't bother you," I stick out my pinky. "Pinky swear," I give her my best puppy dog eyes (which I'm quite good at since I am a werewolf).
She hesitates, but finally gives in. "Fine," she returns the pinky swear. Rolling her eyes.
After a few moments of flicking through my text books and placing them back in my bag, Mrs. Sunton casually strolls through the door.
"Hello Class! How's everyone settling in?" Her welcome is met with a murmur of goods. "I'm happy to hear! Well, we may as well get started. I would like everyone to get out their copy 'A History of Supernatural Conflicts' by Meredith Conagree and turn to page 862. We're going to read about 'The Great Spell War between Kellou and Dedmet of 1342!'"
The first period traveled quickly. The way Mrs. Sunton talked about history made you feel like you were there living it. She had the entire class captivated as she read about the fatal battle between Kellou and Dedmet in 1342 which ended with the death of both Sorcerers. And at the end of the class, everyone burst into applause. This is the first time I've ever said this, but I can't wait for the next History class.

***India's POV***
The first two periods flew by and before I knew it, it was recess. I had just had Math with Amethyst (which entailed a lot of whining) and Sport with Sammie, Austin and Hayden. Now Sammie and I were walking to the campus café to get something to eat.
"I'm so hungry!" Amethyst groans catching up to us, followed closely by Raven. "Maths and Herbology. I've got dirt all over me," she wipes earth of her shirt.
"Herbology? Sounds like something from Harry Potter," I say.
"It was so cool!" Raven gushes, "it's like apothecary, we study remedies." She goes on about magical plants and I tune out when she starts on something about screaming plant babies.
