[asdfasdf] (Story One)

Finally, a new chapter!

The chattering slowly died down as the announcement came on the headsets that the ceremony was starting shortly. Shortly as in thirty seconds shortly, not five minutes shortly. The students and teachers still standing around finally took their seats, laughing off the last of the jokes. The Administrator came on to the stage, standing in front of the podium. Tapping the microphone three times in quick succession, she gathered everyone's attention. "Welcome," she started, "I, as you may know, am the Administrator for Teminibrook Altediatriba, Maggie Lee. Thank you for attending this event, and as always, let us get to the interesting part. No one wants to stand around all day to see every one of you individually getting your T.O.Ps now, hmm?" A few teachers laughed at her comment, but otherwise the room was silent.

I tried to keep up with the Administrator's speech, but failed after a while. Looking around, I observed that even some of the teachers were dozing off. It was more or less review, about "why not all of the students were able to receive their T.O.P personally on stage," "don't whine if you aren't picked," "this ceremony is to be in complete silence unless permitted," etc. etc. Nothing interesting, if you asked me. Micah, however, seemed to be at rapt attention to the woman on stage, and even Blazer Girl was paying attention. The Administrator continued droning on for quite the while, listing dozens upon dozens of miniscule little rules that no one paid attention to and probably broke on the first day of Altediatriba. Finally, she got to the point and started calling the lucky few who would receive their award on stage. Murmuring grew among the students. "Settle down," the Administrator called softly, "or none of you will graduate at all." The soft words were masking an edge to her voice, although everyone could tell. The murmuring lowered to a whisper of the wind.

"I will now be calling those who are to receive their awards on stage in alphabetical order by last name. If you miss your name... well then good luck to you!" She smiled. No one laughed. "Yes," she cleared her throat awkwardly, "well going on. First to the stage: Jana Aberforth." She walked up to the stage, head held high and posture straight.

"Donovan Anathor"

"Alyssa Bross"

She kept listing names, none of whom I really knew. She droned on and on. "I thought this was supposed to be short?" I muttered.

"Good luck with that," Micah replied, "We're just beginning the Cs"

I groaned. The Administrator yelled another name into the microphone (even though she was right in front of it) and Blazer Girl stood up. I blinked out of my trance and had to ask Micah for the name of Blazer Girl. "Why do you want to know?" Micah asked, "And why weren't you paying attention?"

"Hey, can't blame me for trying to get the names of my enemies right?"

"I thought you were going to deal with it after? Then you wouldn't need to know her name because you would know her face?"

"Whatever. Just give me the name."

"Cool is bossy pants." I glared at him. "A-anyways her name was Nyxia Charring, I think"

"Frickle frack frick gotta go sanic gotta go fast"
