                                                  It had to come sooner or later.. because cerise is a second year in Ever After High, which means legacy year, which also means legacy class. 
                              The first class of the year is going up on stage and rehearsing what we are going to say, yay. Cerise is not looking forward. However one of the most interesting thing happened during that class too. One that seams to be a spark of change, a ray of hope. 
                              As students went up stage to say a few lines of their legacy, Cerise quietly waited, not really listening, not really caring. Her mind was on what she could possibly say when it's her turn, and hopefully no one will be interested or listening. 

                              However, among the white noise, that is students blabbering on stage, and students chatting at their seats, Cerise heard a really clear voice. A hesitant but clear voice saying "H- headmaster, I have a question!"
                              Cerise looked up, and saw Raven, Daughter of the evil queen, one of the most hated villain speaking up, so did the class. Everyone was quiet, watching this strange scene unfold before them. Because this would never have happened in normal circumstances. No one is suppose to question the very order of this world. 
                              "What if I... I don't want to sign the book of legends?"
                              This time, the class is really in silence. You can certainly hear a feather drop. Cerise full attention was on Raven now, she NEVER seen anyone so brave as to outrightly admit that they don't want to follow their story, and to the chairmen, a Grimm no less. Is this a sign of change? Can she finally become comfortable and at east at school? Maybe! Just maybe. 
                              "If you don't sign, your story will go POOF" 
                              'No they wont' Cerise thought, but no way in her right mind will she ever say that out loud. It would be the end of the world for her, and for the people most dear to her. And she will never ever ever, let her guard down. Even it means she will have to be a loner forever. 
                              She watch as Raven dash out of class. And the Weird silence before the class dismissed into an early break. All the while thinking about this glimpse of hope that she felt when Raven voiced her thoughts.
