Stranger Academy

(Peeps got assigned for dorms)

Nyna saw Nienna unpack her hammock and she tilts her head, "What's that for?"

"First names Aram and Amai to room A3!" The principal called.

"I don't like sleeping in beds." She said in a plain voice, waiting for her to make fun of her.

“That’s cool!” Harley said

"That is cool!" Nyna sounded interested.

"Oh! Oh, thanks." Nienna sounded generally surprised that they complimented her and didn't ask any questions about her headphones and she was glad that they didn't since she probably didn't know about her.

Nyna smiled, "I have a feeling that Harley and Nienna are going to be my first best friends." She said in her head

Nienna turned away as she finished setting up her hammack and put some pillows and a blanket on it before she tossed her backpack next to it. It was all she had, but it was all she needed.

“Either of you like books?” Harley asked

Nienna really had the time to read a book, but she didn't say anything as she shook her head before plopping down on her hammock.

Nyna eyes widened from excitement, "Yes! I love books, I'm currently reading 3 today!"

“I like to read about places like Greece.”

"Wonderful," she sighed.

"Hey, we can leave this room and ask around you know." He stood and walked to the door. "Itself it like we're stuck in here." He walked out not really caring if she followed or not. He was going to find someone with or without her.

Cicada groaned as her wings cramped against her back following him out, “I know. It’s just annoying that’s all.”

"Its only annoying to you because you're antisocial." He laughed walking down the halls to find a teacher that could help. "Well, that's why I'm here to help."

Nyna nods, "I like to read about anything! But my favorite thing to read about is old folktale stories."

“Like what?”

"There's a bunch of folktale stories like Snow White, The Golden Goose, and so many more!""

“I love those! My favorite is probably the golden goose one!”

"Me too!" Nyna said excitedly.

Nyna's stomach suddenly growls and she takes out cash that she received from her uncle, "I'll be back, I'm going to buy some snacks from that machine thing…" She left the room.

"Its only annoying to you because you're antisocial." He laughed walking down the halls to find a teacher that could help. "Well, that's why I'm here to help."

“I’m not antisocial!” Cicada exclaimed as she caught up to him, “I just don’t know how to talk to people. Normally.”

Harley sat on her bed for a while. Then taking out her sketch book, she started drawing

Nienna laided down on jer hammock and pulled out her laptop, turned on some music for her headphones.

"Its only annoying to you because you're antisocial." He laughed walking down the halls to find a teacher that could help. "Well, that's why I'm here to help."

“I’m not antisocial!” Cicada exclaimed as she caught up to him, “I just don’t know how to talk to people. Normally.”

"Practice." He stopped to look at her. "Instead of worrying so much, just walk up and start a conversation." Uriah turned back around and continued walking. The principal would be to help the best.

"But what if I say something wrong, then like won't they hate me. I'm practically trained with responses in my head before I enter a conversation. So not knowing what to say is really scary okay?"

"Sure some might hate you." He was going to sugar coat it. "But, some won't." The principles door was right in front of them. "You just have to find the ones that won't. Uriah knocked on the door and waited for answer.

Cicada waited with him. She nodded quietly. Find the ones who won't hate her, so not elves.
