Blending In

Aria=Iris Ur=Meya Osyrus=Inga Luca=Tsubasa

As we reached the inn, I looked up at the sky. It was growing dark, the sky a deep blue that ran into a violet hue.

"Aria, whatcha doin'," I looked back at Meya. "Are you ok?"

"I'm OK," I smiled at the dark haired girl. "Just admiring the sky."

"It is a gorgeous night out." Inga was in front of me. "I hope we have a room with a big window."

"Osyrus, I think our room might have a skylight, these sunsets are very common here," Meya paused. "Or at least that's what I heard." Meya stifled a giggle. That girl was going to conjure one and put it on the ceiling.

The inn had three stories, so we asked for a top room.

Once we got in the room a million thoughts raced through my mind. "What if that guy knew we weren't from here and thought we wanted to take the city or something, oh gosh, we're dead."

"Shush Ir-Aria. Go to bed!" Meya threw a pillow at me. I went with the force of the pillow and landed softly onto the plush bed.

I woke up to find the sun burning me through the skylight Meya had put in place on our roof. I sat up and stretched. In the other bed, Inga and Tsubasa were still asleep, Meya had woken up and was sitting with a book in her hands.

I stood up from the bed and rolled my shoulders and threw my arms up. "Are you ready for the first day of school? To blend in with the enemy." Meya laughed.

"I'm ready," I peered at her "Are you?"

"Absolutely, Aria, I don't know what you're talking about," Meya spoke like a proper high-class White girl.

Not long after Inga and Tsubasa woke up, and we left for breakfast in the cafe downstairs.

"So, where's the school," Tsubasa asked ad we seated ourselves in a booth.

"I think it's down the street going the way we were walking when we came here. That, or across the street in that alleyway." Inga replied, pushing his hair back. "Excuse me, waiter? Could you get us all eggs and bacon?"

"Yes, of course. One minute." The waiter smiled and bowed his head slightly.

"Osyrus, is that a new hair-doo I see?" Meya pointed at Inga's hair.

"Why yes, it is. Do you like it?" Inga smirked at the girl and raised his eyebrows twice.

"Get a room," Tsubasa laughed.

"Ur and 'syrus sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First, comes-" I started singing the small tune but Tsubasa covered my mouth midway through; I licked his hand.

He jumped back and flicked his hand through the air. "Aria, what the heck,"

"Shush, child. No profanity." I smiled and pulled him back to his seat beside me. He smiled and stroked my arm lightly. I looked at him and moved my arm away slowly. His hand trailed down to my hand, then off. I nodded at him and looked at the waiter that had appeared noiselessly at our table. He teetered on his feet nervously.

"Sorry to interrupt you, we don't have any eggs left." He clamped his hands together and looked down. "We still have meat like bacon and sausage, breakfast sandwiches are costing less now because of the lack of eggs."

"That will be fine, thank you." Inga smiled.

"Actually, could I get a coffee." I noticed the waiter's eyes panning us over and over.

"Sure ma'am, just a minute." He nodded and walked away.

"Since when did you drink coffee?" Meya raised her eyebrow.

"Since now," I spoke matter-of-factually.

A minute later my coffee came. I nodded thanks and took the creamer and sugar bowl from the center of the table I put in two scoops of sugar and filled the mug to the brim with the cream added to the coffee. I sipped it as the others spoke. "How's the coffee?"

I looked up, Tsubasa had looked over at me. "It's good," I took the final sip of coffee as our sandwiches came. "Oh, thank you." I took mine and looked into my empty mug. A crack in the bottom made me look twice. A crack circling the entire diameter, in the bottom. How does that happen? I brought the cup down under the table and picked at it, as this doesn't just happen. The crack split from the mug and came off. I felt a slip of paper was underneath the broken plaster. I brought it up and read it under the table.

"Anything wrong, miss?" The waiter was standing by the table again, "You haven't touched your sandwich."

"Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I must have gotten lost in time" I set the mug and paper on the seat in between my legs and took a bite. The bread was toasted well and the meat was full of flavour and the lettuce was crunchy. I liked it so smiled my approval to the waiter. I ate the sandwich, covering the letter with my leg. I looked up to my friends and smiled "Shall we go to a proper school forthe first time in eight years?"

"I don't see why not," Inga stood up and slid out of the booth.

"After this is all said and done I'm going to go to an actual school." Meya ņodded and slid out after him.

Meya stood in front of a window looking at her reflection, pulling her hair up into a messy ponytail, her dark, curly hair going everywhere, it didn't look like much was fixed.

I laughed and fingerbrushed her hair back, that did less than the hair tie. I grabbed her hand and urged her on, "There's no fixing it out here now," she sighed and followed me through the street.

Just to confirm, let's do a character review. Iris is a tall blonde, Meya has dark chocolate coloured skin with dark and wild hair, average height. Inga has brown hair and tanned skin, avg. height. and last, but not least, Tsubasa has light brown hair and freckles, short.
