Fortuna Academy

Just when it was getting good

~A/N: Sorry this one is gonna be short. It a build up section ~

I'm finally starting to get into the rhythm of these school days. Early mornings, decent breakfasts, and people I don't totally hate hanging out with. 

I still despise Odessa and her big head, but Kin and Zoey aren't so bad. Neither is Roxas. His kindness and understanding for my stuck up habits seem to be never ending. 

My feelings are confusing to me. I've never felt like I've wanted to be around someone so much, or at all. 

Magical combat class is one of my least favorite. I've never enjoyed using magic to hurt others. It's scary, but a necessity. 

I didn't realize it then. And I wish I learned more. 

I became more familiar with using magical artifacts as well. I didn't know how powerful I could be. Especially with nice people cheering me on. 

Friends...are something I could've taken more advantage of at the time. Being alone was something I was so used to, that having people like them around made me uncomfortable at times..

But when I felt Roxas' hand hold mine I felt a wave of relief wash away my anxious feelings. 

Throughout the day it was pretty normal. But I was able to receive my wonderful companion. A small color changing nine tailed fox; a type of kitsune. 

She was beautiful and had the softest fur. I named her Reina. I always thought that name was beautiful. 

The others also received their companions. Dragons...birds...wonderfully amazing creatures unlike any others that I've ever seen in the shadow realm. 

Later that night, it seemed like something changed... Odessa was quiet. 
She's never quiet. I was slightly concerned that she wasn't talking about her day with Zoey in our common room. 

It seems that her sit down with Mr.Beckett about her grade made an impact on her. She failed the recent runes assessment. I'm assuming it's because of her lack of attention in class. 

But, I do find it weird that he impacted her as much as he did. What could he have said or done that made her quiet down and deflate her ego. 

What did he do...to break her down like that..
She's crying...
She doesn't seem like the type to cry.
