The following morning and staying true to his word for the previous day, Tyler took a more relaxed approach to the required dress code of the academy. He decided the suit jacket and tie, from the attire of others, were definitely unnecessary additions. Before leaving his room and heading to class he made sure to grab his cased violin. He made his way to the cafeteria in order to have a quick breakfast before class. He had taken a quick glance around whilst eating but didn't see anyone he knew.

The mandatory classes, similar to yesterday came across as rather basic. Though feigning interest was not something that Tyler found any difficulty doing. He did make a couple of notes to quiz others over in math class to see if there was something he could help them out with. Though striking a perfect score had been outside of his own reach, so some notes were still for his own personal development. The homework of trigonometry was unlikely to cause any issue given that he had spent a lot of his free time prior to attendance at the academy around engineers.

Of the subjects throughout the day Latin was probably the one Tyler was looking forward to the least. One among many of the subjects that were selected for him by his parents. Seemingly selected out of the lack of law class. However it ultimately came across as being quite interesting. Learning the past of the language itself and how it eventually would tie in with the English language made it feel more like the classes would be a journey rather than pure theory on the words and the their modern meanings. Despite his initial thought of making minimal effort he found himself in the opposite state of mind before the end of the class. Of the students he knew Alana seemed to be the only other one in this class. Though he'd probably interacted with her least of their study group he attempted to engage in small talk when the opportunities arose throughout the lesson.

The last lesson of the day, at least for Tyler was Music. He was rather excited for what the lesson may entail and whether he would get the opportunity to play during class. The excitement to play turned more into a sinking feeling as everyone he knew was also taking this class. Somewhat fortunately for him though the class was rather basic, what they were going over were things that Tyler was familiar with through playing an instrument himself. He struggled throughout the lesson to maintain concentration for a theory he already understood. The homework that was set, similar to those in Math and science seemed it would be rather straightforward. Once class had ended he was keen to get some practice in, but that would be something that would have to wait until classes for the day were over.

Tyler didn't make any notable use of his time whilst waiting for the music room to become free. He mostly just wandered around the class areas to better familiarise himself with the schools layout. However he wasted no time in returning to the music room. He glanced in the room to make sure no one else was already making use of it before entering. The music room was well equipped for his needs, removing his violin from its case and removing the few pieces of sheet music and balancing it on a stand. He made a side ward glance over to the rooms door as he snugly rested his chin in place, bow in hand. Convinced that it was unlikely he'd be disturbed immediately on commencement Tyler studies over the sheet before him, the briefest pause as he begun to play. A stern look of concentration on his face as he tries to play the tune to the best of his ability. The slight imperfections openly displayed the room for future development.

Erik glanced over his perfect test results taking an extra moment so the other students sitting by him could read it as they pretended not to look. Unfortunately, this left with him with very little to keep his interest as the teacher walked the rest of the class through the work. Erik flipped his paper around and began doing higher order mathematics to at least make something productive of his time. The homework itself was also quite simple, Erik figured writing his name would take the majority of his time on that assignment. During English, Erik decided to continue his strategy of impressing Professor Haney and made sure to contribute the vast majority of the discussion of the text. Science class was also fairly dull as they reviewed very basic concepts. On the whole, rather dull on the academic side of things. Art was a far more interesting experience however.

As he came into the art classroom, he again sat with Alex and Angie. Angie actually broached the topic of sharing contact information for him which saved him the effort. He shared his contact info readily and entered their own into his phone. "By the way, a couple of friends of mine are setting up a study group to help tackle the workload. Are you two interested? I already asked the others and you would be totally welcome!" As he asked, class began in earnest, and he had attend to the classwork. He used the highly noticeable neon water-bottle that Angie had with her as his subject figuring it would be easiest thing for him to capture. As he did so, he leaned over to Angie and whispered "What is life without a bit of challenge." As he said that he gestured to his canvas with a wink. True to his word, one of Erik's few yet to be developed skills tended to be art. While the shape and color were recognizable, the piece could not be called good. Erik was not shaken however, filled with confidence that he would find a medium that suited his undiscovered artistic talents soon. Later, once Erik had finished all of his classes for the day, he stretched and yawned trying to shoo away the boredom that had settled deep in his soul.

Deciding a bit more in the way of exercise would do him some good, Erik returned to his room. He changed quickly into a workout outfit with long sleeves, though still tight enough to show off his physique. He took a moment to admire his appearance before setting off on a jog through campus.

After class, Alana made a beeline for her dorm. As long as she kept track of
time, she would easily be able to finish the homework later tonight. For now, though, she wanted to dance. Once she was there, she changed out of her school clothes and into a more athletic ensemble to dance in. After some rummaging through her bags, she had found a pair of ballet shoes and moved them into a smaller bag to bring with her. Since she was without a class, she figured she could find choreography somewhere and try it out or, if she felt up to it, make her own. She’d hate to be out of practice, at any rate, especially when she remembered catching a glimpse of studio rooms in the gym.

Alana tied her hair back and made her way across campus with only her phone in her pocket and Barley trotting along beside her. She had to admit that it was a bit tedious to have to walk across it to get there, but at least Barley got a good walk out of it if nothing else.

It was evident that the after-class student activity was gradually increasing, with the promotion of campus events and the commencement of club recruitment taking place all around the school through various mediums. It was honestly beginning to feel slightly overwhelming for Angelica, and considering that she was used to things being much more mellow, she decided that she would take it slow even if she was ready for more excitement in her life. Carrying her belongings that she had gathered from her locker after her P.E. lesson, she weaved through the crowd of students as she made her way back to her dormitory, instinctively grabbing a flyer that was practically shoved in her face by an enthusiastic older student somewhere along the way.

She felt relieved and a lot more alert after a shower, and she figured that it was time to get some work done for her classes. Her gaze fell upon the bright water bottle on her desk, and she remembered how Erik had used it as a drawing subject during art class. She recalled his invitation to join his study group, to which she had responded saying that she would consider it. She was aware that the danger of study groups was that it was possible for the members to distract one another, but seeing how focused Erik had always been during classes, she thought the option to be rather promising. Reaching for her phone, she texted the boy inquiring if the group was meeting today. It would also be an nice way for her to make new friends.

After checking the noticeboard on his jog and returning to his room. Erik composed his email to Principal Hawthorne with a lot of care and attention to detail. The position of one of the prefects here would lend him quite a bit of authority. In addition, it seemed like it would be the perfect place to make connections with some of the more powerful students at the Academy. Both of these options appealed to him immensely so he had decided to inquire about what the requirements of the position were and the application process. Erik was not sure if they would allow freshman students to join their ranks, but he felt he stood out enough to warrant an exception to the rule, if needed.

His phone dinged with a notification of a new message. Erik glanced down and read Angelica's message quickly. He sent the email he had been crafting off before replying. Yes! How about meeting up today at the cafe from our first day! I am not sure about you, but I can use some caffeine." He followed up with a group message to the rest of the group informing them of the location he had in mind for the meeting. He got dressed, grabbed his workbooks and laptop and headed out to meet the group. Upon arriving at the cafe, he moved several of the smaller tables together to form a makeshift work area for the group. He also did not delay in ordering their excellent hot chocolate.

After a while, Quinn emerged from the library, now in possession of two books based around the history of music. She would probably only open them once before forgetting about them but it was always good to have something to read if she got bored of doing her usual tasks. On her way out she noticed new flyers on the library's notice board and she took a picture of the poster announcing the movie night. It would be nice to get to know the older students who knew their way around campus very well already. Besides, the movie itself did not seem too bad, although it sounded slightly cliche.

As she walked across the campus, she felt her phone buzz in her pocket. Taking it out, Quinn smiled seeing that there was going to be a study meeting today. She quickly typed up a response confirming that she was on her way before she began strolling in the direction of the Currie dorm. Making a quick stop at her dorm room, she grabbed her tablet to make notes on and a pair of headphones in case she wanted to get a start on her music homework. As quickly as she entered, she left the dormitory and made her way into the centre of campus. Knowing where the cafe was already, made finding her way through the shops quite easy and soon enough she found herself at the entrance of the building. Quinn walked in, carefully looking around to see if anyone else had arrived. Noticing Erik, she waved to him enthusiastically before heading over to the counter to order a plain latte. Once her drink was ready, she approached him with a smile and placed her cup on one of the tables. '' Love what you done with the place, have you considered going into interior design?'', Quinn asked playfully as she took a seat. '' You know, you could've waited for us to help you. There was no need to do all this by yourself.''

Alana

@AnyAlex @EurmalEye
After some time, Alana made her way out of the gym, seeming noticeably more relaxed. She paused at the notice board, scanning it quickly and taking a picture. She probably wouldn’t get a prefect position if she applied, being a freshman but she might as well go for it anyway. She had a level enough head on her shoulders, if she did say so herself. That and maybe she could get to know some of the older students. Being a scholarship student, maybe she had a bit if a leg up on other freshmen. Plus, there was dance team try-outs. If she wanted to make it through the inevitable stress of school, she would need it.

She also took note of the movie night. She didn’t want to base knowing other students off of a spot she probably wouldn’t get and it would be nice to watch some mind-numbingly cliche movie to give her brain a break. Once she arrived at her room, she changed quickly, hastily put her glasses on, and grabbed her school bag and a pair of headphones to bring to the cafe. Once she arrived she made a beeline for the counter, placing her order before she thought to look for any of her classmates she had talked to. She glanced around while waiting and nodded, smiling slightly at the sight of Erik and Quinn. After taking her tea she slid into a seat soon after Quinn with Barley plopping himself down beside her.”Thank you though, it really helps the feng shui of the place,” she said wryly, busying herself with getting out a notebook.

Angelica did not have to wait long for a response from Erik. A slight smirk of amusement crossed her lips as she read his enthusiastic text before she replied with a "Sounds good, I'll see you there." She was already in the casual yet presentable apparel which she usually had on outside of classes. Her usual style was simple with one or two details that are just outstanding enough for the entire look to be appreciated as one that was aesthetically pleasing. She packed whatever study material she might need into her usual flashy satchel and headed out. The crowd of students along the corridors seemed to have thinned out slightly, or it could be that the environment was currently just less overwhelming to her after her short rest.

She spotted Erik with ease upon entering the cafe due to the unusually-arranged tables. Seeing that everyone else present had already gotten their drinks, she went over to the counter to purchase her own, opting for an ice-blended coffee this time. She then made her way over to the joined tables and took one of the empty seats, raising an eyebrow at the dog which she had not noticed earlier, but not commenting on it.

She first turned to the boy with a nod. "Erik. A very appropriate choice of location, I must say."

She then addressed the other two who were seated with them, whom she recognized from their classes together. "Ladies. I believe we haven't yet been formally introduced. Angelica Casey. You may call me Angie."
