After Leo finished eating he stood up and threw away what remained on the plate mostly trash he finished the food. He walked looking at the students chilling on the grass deciding to sit down on the grass too sitting not to far from the girl on her phone he just took off his backpack and laid on the grass and looks at the sky.

Alana had sat herself down at the nearest empty table once she had finished exploring the building and had been pushing her food around her plate when the announcement rang out from the speakers. She jumped a foot in the air and put on her glasses, quickly checking for the speakers and to be sure no one saw her startle like a cat.

"I wish someone would have told me about that." She sighed and studied her plate, which she deemed empty enough to throw away. She made her way to the grass, Barley trotting cheerfully ahead. There wasn't much to do aside from homework, so she sat down under the shade of a large and got to work on chemical bonds.

The announcement they made through the speakers woke him up. He put his hand on his chest and breathed heavily as that voice surprised him very hard. He looked around to see that another scholarship student was sitting on the gras and as he wasn't interested in doing his homework, he decided to go up to him and introduce himself.

"Hey, I'm Alex, Alex Pearson. Pretty weird announcement, right?"

He said with a smile on his face as he sat next to the guy.

@Squirrel98
Blake looked at the person who approach him he sat up and said," Was up my name is Leonardo but its Leo for short. And yea pretty weird." He looks at him and said," You got in here with a scholarship?" He looks at him.

"Thank you! I must confess, I am fairly surprised that you know who I am." Erik pulled out his notes from English class fron his bag, then stored it below his feet. Tyler seemed to be working diligently on his homework and did not give the impression he was particularly interested in talking. Erik thought it best to match hos energy. He pulled out his phone and began his english assignment, writing a biography on Bram Stoker. It was simple to find information on the major beats of his life, find biographies on life via Google books and use passages on those events to make sure he had plenty of citations and factual information to make the biography perfect. Erik even planned to write about the authors legacy and ongoing analysis of his work.

Tyler spoke up however, and Erik responded to him, pleased to have the chance to potentially gain a new ally. "Overall, I found it quite pleasant actually. The material is quite interesting to say the least Yes, I was in the politics class. While review is always pleasant, I am quite interested about more... modern political landscapes. How about yourself?" As he talked, he glanced briefly at the concealer around Tyler's eye, then dismissed it. Even Erik, as naturally handsome as he was, sometimes need to apply some concealer to hide some temporary blemish, so he did not perceive this as odd. Besides the concealer seemed well applied.

Before Tyler could respond the speakers went off with their announcement. Erik noticed one female student nearly fall as she was startled briefly off her seat. She seemed to have a dog with her as well. He noted putting on a pair of glasses and looked away quickly. However, he had not heard many details about student council and the prefect committee and found himself quite curious.

"I am sorry to leave so suddenly, but I am quite curious what might be going on and would like to check. Talk to you again soon I am sure." Erik stowed his notebook back in his bag and left the cafeteria, heading to a patch of grass on the main courtyard the oversaw the gym and lecture halls. He noted he was not far from where the girl with the dog had ended up. His attention was focused on the building however, taking careful note of who was entering them.

Quinn nearly dropped her phone from shock during the announcement. It was louder compared to her previous school and she needed a second to recover. Taking a look around, she noticed some of the students entering the building. Her assumption was somewhat correct- they were most likely having a meeting about starting to recruit new members for the two groups mentioned. While Quinn wasn't in any of those positions before, she thought they sounded rather intriguing. It must be nice to do something for the school. The girl took notice of the boy she saw yesterday on her way to the cafe before taking off her bag and opening it. Stashing her phone away into her bag, she caught a glimpse of her schoolbooks and her face immediately soured. She was too tired for this.

Leaning back onto the grass, she pulled out her English book and half-heartedly began highlighting the information about Bram Stoker. It was the longest assignment in her opinion and she could at least attempt it before giving up.

Alana stretched and stashed her finished science work back in her her bag. Looking around, she followed the gazes of the other students on the lawn and saw some of them streaming inside. It might be good to do something for the school, and even though she didn't have much experience maybe she could try for it sometime. But then again, doing that meant actually getting to know people. Which she still hadn't really done yet now that she thought about it, even though her parents would want her to. She managed a smile and a wave in the direction of a boy she had just seen move on the the lawn and a girl going through the English homework she was trying not to think about and scratched Barley's ears absently.

Not wanting to be rude Tyler, nodded and smiled to Erik's response from identifying him. Though all he'd really done is just compare what classes he'd seen him in and what classes he hadn't to take an educated guess. Though receptive to Erik's answer to his enquiry he continued to glance back at the unfinished science homework and when the question was returned to him he picked up his pen to continue before answering. "I suppose it went as expected of a first day. The lessons were straightforward enough and the homework, at least for now isn't particularly challenging. Though I will have to find the opportunity to hold the initial part of a conversation in French whilst recording it." Tyler shrugged before continuing. "Though that is more inconvenience I suppose."

Tyler was making the last of his notes in his science homework draft and finishing what was left of his dinner when the announcement rang out through the cafeteria. He glanced around making note of the speaker locations, if nothing else they seemed optimally positioned and definitely loud enough. "Suit yourself." Tyler simply stated with a small wave as Erik departed his company. Next on his agenda was to take a head count of the older students who filtered out following the announcement. It wasn't really a concern of his, he didn't really have any need to return to the lecture hall or visit the gym at this hour anyway.

Once again alone in the cafeteria he contemplated what to do next. No doubt some of the more inquisitive first years, like the self-admitting Erik were trying to make heads or tails of the announcement and what exactly it entailed. Tyler tapped the table before packing his notes back into his bag and pulling the strap up over his shoulder. He leaves the cafeteria, once outside glancing over to the gym. He contemplates trying to get a better look before deciding against it. It seemed a number of students, including some familiar faces were gathering out in the courtyard. Apart from Erik though he wasn't sure if they'd headed there before or after the announcement. Being amongst his peers was probably a better look than snooping around the gym solo, as such he makes his way over to the others.

The groups of students entering the lecture hall and gym began to slow and Erik let his attention drop. Glancing around him, he noted Quinn Nakamura seated nearby working and the girl he had noticed earlier smiling up at him and giving him a wave. Interestingly, they both seemed to working on their English assignments. Erik gave a large smile and wave back and then reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He pulled up the resources he had been using for his comprehensive timeline and the notes he had taken off those sources to simplify the information and used an app that would airdrop to both Android and Apple to all the other students in the area. As the scholarship student, it was his job to help the other students who did not share his keen mind after all.

"Professor Hanley definitely does not give out the most entertaining assignments it seems. These notes should help you finish the assignment much faster though. I'm Erik and it is nice to meet you both." Erik spoke up so he could speak to both Quinn and the unknown girl as well. He looked over at the girl and her dog and then squatted down to be at both of their eyelevels."May I pet your dog?" He raised a hand ready to pet the dog if given permission to do so.

@EurmalEye@akirashadow@snickerdoodly

Quinn was aggressively highlighting random phrases in the book as if she wanted to make the text disappear under the bright neon orange ink. Less than ten minutes passed and her resolve to study had already vanished. She stared at the page blankly, unable to retain any of the information. Secretly, the girl considered throwing the whole book away as an excuse not to do the assignment. Soon enough though she was brought out of her daze by a notification coming out of her bag. Lazily, Quinn took out her phone to check the notification but paused when she heard the boy speak.

'' That's so nice of you!'' admitted Quinn while smiling at Erik, '' Honoured to meet you, I am Quinn''. It was rare to find someone who seemed selfless enough to share their notes with strangers. At that moment, she managed to recall that Erik was in both of her additional classes. Hopefully, they could become friends- she needed someone to talk to during the more boring lectures. Speaking of becoming friends, she noticed Tyler entering the courtyard. She enthusiastically waved at him, genuinely happy to see the boy again, before glancing at the dog owner Erik was talking to. While she wasn't a big fan of furry animals herself, she could admit the dog was cute. Turning her body fully to face the girl, she asked pleasantly: '' And who are you?''

@Blade17

He looked at the guy with still the same smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you, Leo!"

He just shook his head 'no' at Leo's next comment.

"No, I didn't. But you did, right? I guess you got it for sports, since you carry the ball around."

@EurmalEye@AnyAlex@akirashadow

Alana opened her bag and took out her phone, checking the notification and heaving a sigh of relief before turning back to Erik with a small smile. She wasn’t that bad at English but she found it boring and all the reading gave her a headache. She didn’t expect someone who was basically a stranger to help lighten the load, though. Maybe her classmates wouldn’t be as insufferable as she thought and she could make some friends.

”Thanks. It’s nice to meet you both, I’m Alana and this,” she patted her dog’s head affectionately,“Is Barley, go ahead and pet him if you like. As long as he’s not busy, he’s really friendly.” He lifted his head at the mention of his name, tail wagging slightly.

@Squirrel98

"Ahh so rich boy right?" He said as a joke as he laughs a bit. And continues to talk," Yea i got in cause of soccer specifically." He looks at Alex. He then looks at the sky then he softly sighed and smiles," Man it's a honor to be in such a privilege school."

Once he had made it close to where the others were seated Tyler came to a stop at the edge of the grass. He smiled and waved back to Quinn who seemed to be lazing on the grass quiet happily. He looked down at his own attire with a frown, not exactly the most ideal of clothing choice for sitting in the grass. However not fancying the idea of returning to his dorm just yet he emptied the contents of his laptop bag which had consisted mainly of notepads and pens. Next he removed his suit jacket and folded it over his arms, before stepping onto the grass carefully.

He made his way over the others, dropping his laptop bag down besides the familiar face of Quinn before planting himself down on it. He sits with his knees bent and legs close to his chest to prevent getting grass marks on his trousers. "I think I may have overdressed." Tyler commented on his apparel, as he has a second take of everyone else. However more importantly introductions seemed to be afoot as he glanced over to Alana. "Tyler Cross." He announced to the only person in this gathering he hadn't had even a brief introduction to.

With what space he can allow himself he starts to go through his notes again. He quickly skimmed over his science draft before scanning over his notes from English and French. "Hey Quinn, would you mind if I practice some french on you at some point?" He looks up from his notes with a smile. "Homework, though I'd prefer to sound at least somewhat competent."

As he began enthusiastically petting Barley, he looked up at Quinn and gave her a smile and a nod of acknowledgement. Erik was quite fond of dogs, they were always extremely appreciative for his attention. "It's nice to meet you all. Barley, you are such a good boy!" Tyler was seated in a particularly odd way to avoid getting his clothes dirty. Erik frowned in concern, but didn't have anything with him to help him out. Returning his attention to Alana and Barley, he transitioned to scratching behind his ear.

"How have you been enjoying your first day here, Alana?" Here was yet another student, Erik did not have any information on and at Pine Hills Academy, not being in the know could be a critical failure. She also did not seem to have the same air of wealth as many of other students or the one he attempted to forge for himself.

@Blade17

He laughed a bit at Leo's comment. He didn't take it seriously as he got quite a lot of those remarks, because of his parents. "Kinda" He just answered.

"Oh, you must be very good then." He said, but he didn't quite answer on his next comment. With his parents and his own intellect, he had never actually doubted that he was going to that school.

@EurmalEye@akirashadow@snickerdoodly

She smiled at Alana when the girl introduced herself, pleased to make her acquaintance before turning to Tyler. Feeling slightly sorry for the way he had to sit, she offered him an apologetic smile. Quinn didn't care too much for clothes, so despite wearing one of her better trousers she didn't make an effort to prevent them from getting dirty. Sure her father would complain if he found out but he wasn't here so she was going to take the full advantage of this small freedom. Encouragingly she responded:'' Happens to the best of us. Besides, with the strict uniform rules, I don't think it's possible to be not overdressed.''

Quinn thought about Tyler's request, before deciding to agree. It couldn't be more boring than the English assignment after all. On top of that, her lack of competence in the area of languages (much to her mother's dismay) could make anyone look good. Putting her highlighter back into her pencil case, she responded joyfully with a shrug of her shoulders:'' Sure, but you owe me''

@Squirrel98

Blake nodded and said," Yes back in my place i was considered their best player in town. Of course I don't brag or anything cause i feel like i could improve and learn more still im just good im trying to say." He laughed a bit.

Angelica was barely ten minutes into her work when the jarring announcement cut through the subtle background noises which had eased her into concentration. She gritted her teeth in annoyance at the interruption, but understood the possibility of the announcement being relevant to her and made sure that she caught it when it was repeated. The gym and lecture halls? Sure, she did not see herself ending up at those places for the rest of the day anyway. She then let out a sigh of slight frustration before turning her focus back to her homework. Fortunately, there were no more disturbances for the rest of the time she was at her desk, apart from the occasional voluntary break.

The first day's homework was simple enough, though she foresaw the material getting more difficult when the term further progressed. Perhaps she should get a few contacts tomorrow. She might get Erik's the next time she saw him. He clearly picked lessons up with ease and he seemed the type to be willing to help his peers out. He was even nice enough to compliment her on her hair earlier. Was her hair not the same the day before when they had first met though? What a strange kid, but so pleasant.

She finished off what she had intended to do before glancing at the clock to find that it would be evening in about an hour. Seeing that she had some time to unwind before grabbing a meal, she took her camera with her and made her way down to the sports field for a closer look at the events taking place there. Several teams were busy with their own sports, and she figured that this was a good opportunity for her to practise capturing motion, since she rarely photographed moving subjects.

Despite the intense activity of the student athletes all over the field, the gentle rays of the almost-setting Sun bathing the area gave it a rather relaxing atmosphere. Sounds of shouting and whistling were faint at first, and grew louder as she neared the field. She hung around at the side and just watched for awhile, and some of the friendlier students who saw her waved to her. She returned their waves, and then picked her camera up to snap some shots of their practice sessions. She would alternate between taking photos and resting in the bleachers, enjoying the sights and the cool breeze of the open field until it was time for dinner.

@Blade17

He laughed at Leo's comment. "I understand where you're coming from. Maybe I can see you play in the future." After those words came out of his mouth, he sighed. "I guess it's time for me to start doing my homework. I'll see you again!" He stood up and went back to his room in the dorm.

He sat behind his desk and spread his books in front of him. "So I have homework for English, Science, Drama and Religion." Normally, he would delay doing his homework until the last minute. However, he was afraid that if his grades would be bad, his parents would pull him out of school - since they saw it as a waste of time anyways. That's why he decided that it would be best to start doing his homework early for once.

Since he already thought about the homework for Religion, he started out with that one. It was already a big step for him to do his homework properly like a good student, so he started out with a subject he liked to motivate him. He didn't need to go to the library to find out more information, since he already knew a lot about it. Religion was something that interested him very much, so the homework was done in a short period of time. After his homework for Religion, he started on his homework for Drama. Of course, the terminology was very familiar to him, because of his career in the entertainment industry. This homework was also done fast.

Looking at the remaining two subjects for which he needed to do homework, he sighed. He couldn't do those two without research anymore. He started to hesitate if he wanted to continue on doing his homework or go on and do something else.
