The first night if classes were pretty different from the things Roselynne had learned in her old school. Here they had Professional Equestrian Riding, Artistics and Art Fundamentals, Chemical Balance and Mutation of Cells, Plant Study, Alternative Mathematic Fundamentals and Calculus Study. It was insane. And those were just some of the first year classes. Roselynne had most of her classes with Bethany, who'd sat pretty close to her all day.

After classes had ended, Roselynne and Bethany had walked to the dining hall where the food was served to all students at about eight pm, for breakfast, midnight, for lunch, and around six am, for dinner.

Yes, the students here had classes at night because the sun irritated their skin and eyes. Apparently it wasn't supposed to actually burn you until you were around a couple hundred years old and had passed the maturing of your Vampiar status, but it still bothered the changelings and it kind of hurt the fifth, sixth, and seventh year students more than the first, second, third and fourth year students. Basically, the older of a changeling or Vampiar you were, the more the sun irritated or hurt you. Simple. Hah! It was anything but. So Roselynne decided to give up questioning about the schedule here.

As the girls neared the big lunch line, Bethany turned to Roselynne and said,
"Oh, shrap! I forgot my change in our room! I was going to buy me a couple of sodas from the vending machine! Save my spot in line?" She asked. Shrap? Huh... Roselynne wondered. She looked up at Bethany.
"Yep, no problem. I'll save you a spot at our table too." Rose replied.
"Ahh! Thanks!" Bethany bounced away off to the north corridor to go get her money from the girl's room.

As Roselynne approached the server, he eyed her and in a French accent asked,
"What can I get for Ze young lady?"
"U-um, one large Chicken Corma with rice and ummm..."
She looked around, expecting to see Bethany behind her. Bethany still hadn't come back yet.
"... A-and that's all... I think..." Rose stuttered. Confused, she took her tray and found a nice booth in the corner of the dining hall. It was dimly lit with a glass-sealed gaslight. The booth was pretty closed off, but Roselynne could still hear the big group of girls sitting at the table next to her booth.
"Umm, yeah! Tony bakers is SO, HOT!" one girl exclaimed loudly.
"Ugh, so not! Charlie riece is hotter! Have you seen his dimples? Ughhhhh! To DIE for! Imagine having those dimples all to myself..." Another girl was saying as she began to doze off.
"Hah! You girls are hilarious! Kathy garnet is so freaking sexy! She's got the body of a freaking ANGEL!" Another girl said. She sounded as though she would pass out. Curious, Roselynne got out of her booth and poked her head out. She started to walk by, but one girl stopped her and said,
"Hey! You! Who's hotter? Tony bakers, or Charlie riece?" She said Tony bakers like it was the last time she would ever say his name.
"Um... I've never met or seen either of those boys." Rose told them. At hearing this, both girls whipped out their phones and as fast as lightning shoved them in her face. One phone was pink and had a picture of a tall male with short, scrappy black hair, and a very chiseled jawline, and a half unbuttoned blue t-shirt, exposing his equally chiseled six-pack and his carved-from-stone pecks, as the homescreen, and the other was baby blue with a picture of a blond boy, same height but very baby-faced. His dimples highlighted his features perfectly, she thought. His almond shaped blue eyes accented his also blue shirt, Wich was done up and kind of slacked. Both boys had on dark blue-jeans and matching t-shirts. They looked almost like brothers. Totally the same, but insanely different.

Roselynne had made up her mind quickly. The blond boy was definitely cuter... But the dark haired boy was hotter.
"The blonde is cute but the black haired one is handsome in a sexy way." She told the two girls.
"Ugh, your no help. But you are right about Tony being handsome and sexy as f•ck."
"But I didn't say he was sexy. I said he-"
"Anyways! What's your name?" The blonde girl that liked the black haired boy more cut her off .
"Um... I'm uh, I'm Roselynne. Roselynne Margeaux. Nice to meet you, miss..."
"Charlotte. Charlotte Greenfield."
The girls invited her to sit and eat with them. She accepted.

Bethany never showed up for dinner.
