"You have your shackles to loose and a world to win" Thomas paraphrased "Sorry, not the exact qoute but the conversation reminded me of it. Now what about we discuss something more pleasant eh? We can drown our sorrows and ponder the past later"

"Okay I'm game for a shift in topic
How long you think I'll have to wear this pink monstrosity?
First off Pink is not my color and second the fit of this one size fits all is so unflattering to my figure says Penny as she also thinks how easy it make her to identify or see.

"How can your body look unflattering? You put yourself down too much dear. But if you insist im sure you can ask one of the leader if there is some spare clothing around" Thomas said politely as possible

"I never said my figure was bad or put it down, in fact my figure is a highly toned machine because I work the uneven parallel bars and do floor.
I just find this suit baggy and find it chafes my tender skin" says Penny to Thomas

"You guys can keep talking, but I'm gonna see if there are any sandwiches left. My first one didn't last so long." Jeffery pulled himself up to area where they got the sandwiches but there were none left, so, disappointed, Jeffery sat at a table by himself and began to read again. "Control yourself Jeffery," he mumbled to himself, "you can talk to people now but don't go over board with it. Especially don't talk about your past." After his private reminder he continued reading, but he had gone through most of the book on the bus and finished it quickly. So Jeffery had nothing left to do for a little bit.

Penny watches Jeffery leave her expression inscrutable as she considers her thoughts

"Is it just me or is the present Triparty system somehow fishy?
I mean let's face it but if you wanted to create an environment where collective effort is difficult due to faction friction this would be how you'd set it up.
Kind of a smart way to get us to self regulate and you gotta love the Stick an Carrot method they employ"
Penny chuckles as she looks around herself

"Of course I could merely be suffering from acute paranoid delusions because I ain't had my medicine

Seeing that everyone was eating Katherin grabbed herself a sandwich. She studied the other groups carefully. She wandered what they thought of the school. At least most of the people seemed friendly.

Liz wasnt surprised when Jeffrey went to talk to the others. She had alway been too shy to make friends. She had been hoping that coming here would help.

---

Roxy shook her head as she watched the others interact. She wasnt about to trust anyone here. Not until they proved themselves. She wear knives for a reason.

Anna picked at the grime underneath her fingernails as the bus rolled up to the gates.

"Damnit," the bus driver swore under his breath. He turned around in his seat to look at his solitary passenger. "We're late," he spat out at her.

Anna smiled. "It just gave me more time to be in your wonderful company, sugar!"

The bus driver rolled his eyes and opened the doors. Anna holstered her bag onto her shoulders and walked out. Before he had a chance to close the door, she turned around and winked. "Stay sexy," she said.

The driver took off without hesitation. Anna sighed and looked up at the posh building. She walked inside and followed the smell of food. She hadn't eaten since she was at the police station, so she was very hungry. She walked in and surveyed the crowd.

Sebastian saw once again a new student. He got up and walked over to her. "Hello, I am Sebastian Enquire." he said, introducing himself.

Jeffery had nothing to do he finished reading his book, he couldn't talk to Thomas and Penny after he almost said to much, and he couldn't talk to Liz again because of what he was hiding on his arm. So rather then let old memories return he decided to walk around the cafeteria hoping to make new ones. He noticed the different types of people here, "most of this people you can tell what group they're in by their looks," he muttered to himself. He made sure to try and avoid Roxy as he walked around.

Anna looked Sebastian up and down. She gave a low whistle. "Hello to you too. I'm Anna Withers."

*Music*

As she sat, elbow inclined to the windowsill of the left passenger door, her weary head resting upon her hand clad in a leather fingerless glove, just as her right, Rowena sighed, a mournful breath parting her lips and collecting upon the glass bespeckled by stray drops of bitter November rain. Where was she exactly? It was the last place any girl her age should be, cold and alone in the back of a moving Police Cruiser. There was no cushioning to the seats, only the hard, thick plastic pushing against her, just attributing all the more to this ride's burdening discomfort. She kept thinking back to that very day...the day she punched that old man square in the face, every bit of force behind her fist in one quick slug. Little did she know that very hit would abruptly end the man's life. Now she wasn't just some piece of street trash, she was trash with a murder rep.

The Police car finally came to a halt, the quiet squeak of the old brakes signaling that they had arrived. From her almost "undead" trance, Rowena broke and looked upwards. A grimace was quick to come to her face as she saw The Academy, just as cold and bleak as it looked in those brochures that slimy District Attorney was pushing on her. Her grimace had only twisted more as a cop approached her from behind, ordering her to put her hands behind her back in the most authoritative but cruel voice he could muster. She shivered slightly at the cold steel clenching her wrists, gritting her teeth in utter displeasure at the telltale click. The other officer soon departed from the vehicle....with a shotgun in his hand. What the hell did he need that for?! Were they escorting Rowena to Death Row or something? The girl could only assume, seeing how these two Pigs treated her like she was the lowest of scum. Cuffed and at gunpoint, there she was being escorted up to the gate, already this "Academy" looking like Folsom Prison. "Well here you are." Grumbled the cop that was packing heat, probably itching just to flip the safety on that Remmington and blow Rowena's head clean off. "Welcome to your new home. Got any last words to say?" Rowena glanced up at the prick, a bit of a defiant sneer crossing her pierced lip as she replied, "Yeah....Fuck you!" Angered, the cop flung Rowena's duffel bag, ordering his buddy to Uncuff the bitch! so they could be on their way, leaving Rowena burning with her own rancorous hate, a harsh glare as she watched the two Pigs pile into the cruiser and drive away.

"Please finish up." Katherin called across the dinning room. "It's time to head to classes. Sebastian would you like to lead the first class?"

"PLeasure to meet you." he said in response to Anna. "Yes, I would love to." he replied to Katherin as he wrote down a couple things in his notebook about Anna.

"Pleasure to meet you as well, sweetheart," Anna said just as another girl walked up. Anna pouted when she said something about leaving. "But I haven't eaten yet..."

Throwing her bag over her shoulder, Rowena sighed yet again, fiddling in the pocket of her jacket for her crumpled pack of Marlboro Lights and her lighter. Taking one of the slightly bent cigarettes from the pack, she clenched it between her dry lips and lit it, taking a couple of drags and breathing ghostly wisps of translucent smoke into the air. As with many schools, she figured they too had a no smoking policy, and as with many no smoking policies, when did Rowena ever care? The cig still dangling from her mouth precariously, she trudged past the Academy's courtyard, her boots clacking firm against the concrete pathway before she stepped into the main building and down to the cafeteria. Barely wishing to speak to anyone, she took a seat at the farthest possible table, propping her boots up and leaning back in her chair, yet again taking a few more drags on her cigarette.

"Pleasure to meet you as well, sweetheart," Anna said just as another girl walked up. Anna pouted when she said something about leaving. "But I haven't eaten yet..."

"Then you had better hurry. We have a schedule to keep." Katherin told her sternly. "Sebastian there should be books in the classroom. Just pick whatever subject your comfortable with."

"Oh boy actual school time, what fun," Jeffery tried to fit in as much sarcasm as possible. Jeffery does well in school but never really liked attending, so sometimes he didn't, but kept up with his grades anyway. Because of Jeffery's appearance and attitude about the school it could be easy to mistake him for a Sedition.

Jeez....this place already sucks. Rowena pondered finishing off the last bit of her smoke and carelessly snuffing it out on the table. She glanced over to some girl talking to another, something about lunch already being over and class already starting. How wonderful Rowena had to be dropped off by the police just as the most despised part of school had to rear its ugly head. "Fuck..." She growled under her breath, standing from the table and gathering up her bag. She walked over to the red haired girl, bringing her hand down on the girl's shoulder, "Hey. You know where the classroom is?"

Katherin smiled warmly. "Of course I do. Whtpy do you think I am leading?"
