After nearly mowing down a dozen members of the paparazzi, Cori put her car in park and flicked down the mirror to reassure herself that, yes, she looked [i]perfect[/i] for the first day of school. She removed her sun glasses and stared at her reflection, unsmiling. ...Well, no one's perfect. She replaced the glasses and stepped out into the student parking lot and was immediately greeted by a scurry of reporters and-- and a body guard? Reporters she could handle, but as she gazed about the campus grounds, she realized that most students probably couldn't. 

Discourse of corruption at Caelbury flooded her ears. None of this sounded familiar, and she made a mental note to check her phone once she was in the safety of the school. [color=lightpink]"Well, what do you expect when you let just [i]anyone[/i] in?"[/color] she offered a woman who was particularly insistent on getting anything out of the student--and then the shouting grew. Cori was happy to use the media to her advantage, and she was confident her small question would plant just the kind of seed in pushing the lucky commoners out of Caelbury. Out of [i]her[/i] learning space (not that her opinion was anything new to the tabloids).  

Her bodyguard was frustrated that she had humored the crowd, but he did his job: she was escorted safely to the school without saying another word. Her arrival was announced by the loud click of her heels on the auditorium floor, rose gold plated phone already being slipped away as she entered. [color=lightpink]"Hello, lovely,"[/color] she greeted coolly as she sat next to Julia, lifting her sunglasses onto her head. [color=lightpink]"I can't wait for them to explain this mess."[/color]
