cloud-

I grab the bag I packed, with my sketchbook and my colored pencils, and a couple changes of clothes. I've hidden a dagger in the strap of the royal blue messenger bag I'm using, just in case. When Blue Moon got me flying sandals, I said I would never use them. Now I can't fly, so I strap them on my feet. I wave goodbye to everyone, and gesture to Pzun to hurry up. Now we're heading across CB Park, past Pudding's Place, and on to Inkwell, where the boarding school is.

The school is split up, many small buildings among fields, woods, and arenas. I land in front of a girl- or maybe boy- with a hood over their face. "Hi!" they say warmly. "You must be Cloud!"

"It's a lowercase c," I mutter. I know no one else can hear the difference, but I can. 

The girl shrugs and hands me a bag. I look inside and see some schoolbooks and a small pamphlet. I look at the pamphlet first.

HELLO cloud! WELCOME TO AE BOARDING SCHOOL!

there's also a map of the school, but my eyes are drawn to SHAPESHIFTING. I wonder if I could learn to shapeshift again... or maybe I shouldn't try. It'd be going against being a human now, and I.. I like being human now. Still.

So. Classes. I circle ART first. That's a no-brainer. SCIENCE, CREATIVE WRITING, and SWIMMING all get written down. Then I take a deep breath... and circle NATURE. I'm human now, and I can't go back. 

Now, I head to Dorm 4. I find a large room with my name and my roommate's names on a plaque on the door. I head in. It's split into four sections. On one I see a desk made of beautiful carved wood, with a smooth top tilted for drawing. Cherry blossoms are painted on the walls, and there's a comfortable bed covered in a purple and blue blanket. This is my space.

Even though they're all beautiful, the sections are pretty small. They converge on a comfortable area with beanbag chairs and soft carpet, and a coffee table. I open my messenger bag and start to unpack. Then I hear the door open. A girl with short blue-black hair and large brown bird's wings steps in. My roommates- or at least one roommate- are here.

Kiki's POV

I rush to the boarding school excitingly. Maki follows behind, more hesitantly. Once I get there, I see a hooded figure.

"Hello." They say "You are Kiki Tevya, am I correct?"

"Yep!" I reply cheerfullly, grabbing my bag. Maki exchanges some words with the girl, looks annoyed and then follows. 

The pamphlet reads: 

Hi Kiki! We hope you enjoy boarding school!

Your group is:

Pzun

Celeste

Juniper

DORM ONE

Great...I'm with Pzun! For my classes I pick Shapshifting (I can already do it, bu there's room to improve!) Advanced Parkour (Neko sucks at this, I can rub it in her face.) Science, Creative Writing and Art. 

This will be great! What could go wrong?  

For us non-public schooled CBers with AEs: What in the world is Advanced Parkour?!

Ah. Okay, thanks for clarifying!

I look up at the beautiful camus. There is so much to do. I laugh and fly around. Finally some freedom! I land in behind a line.

Finally, when I reach the front, A girl asks "Are you Lexi?"

I grin "How could you tell?" She smiles and hands me a bag. I let the air hold it while I look inside. Some people look at me wiedly but hey it's not every day that you see a girl fly into a line and have her baggage float next to her. There is a pamphlet and a map of the school in it. I look at the pamphlet. 

Hello Lexi! Welcome to AE Boarding school!

Awsome! But that is only three of us. Hmmm. Well I wonder if someone couldn't come. I look over the list excititly. I circle Advanced Parkour first. I am awsome at that sort of stuff. Then I circle Science, then Creative Writing, then Math, and finally... I look at all of the options. I hate history, Not exactly a nature person, can do cooking but doesn'y need to know more, Pie throwing? Maybe? Shapeshifting? I already have my power. If I do shapeshifting would that be my new power? I hope not. Hesitantly I circle Pie Throwing. I look at the map of the school. It is humongues! They must use magic to make the maps fit. I find my way to the dorm and open it to find no one there. I must be the first of the three of us I guess. I look around at the room. There are three sections on one side. There are our beds. One of them looks kind of well to put it nicly horrifying. The second one in the middle of them is very nice but I know that one isn't mine. The last one which is near the window has a nice bed with a deep blue comforter, a desk that floats and has a nice chair with the shelves stocked with some books, paper that seems to be an infinity amount, and is organized very nicely. I look around and just can't seem to stop smiling. There is a part where there are beanbags to sit on and it looks awsome. I begin to unpack my bags and is almost done until I hear the door open. I turn around to see who it is.   

"Now don't you dare go to the kitchens with your gun! I'm still trying to pay off the bill from last time you wanted a midnight snack." Moonfrost scolds.

"All right! All right! I'll be careful. Can I go now?" I snap.

"Yes, I guese you can. Just don't blow up the school this time, please?" Moonfrost sighs.

"OK! OK! Bye now!" I say.

I open up a swirling portal, and jump in.

~~~~~~

The portal opens up over a dark clothed stranger who's handing out brochures to the waiting AEs. I fall down from the sky and land in front of the dark clothed stranger. 

"Are you Shadow?" D.C.S asks. 

"Yup that's me." I replie. 

"Here's your brouchure." D.C.S says, handing me the brouchure.

Hello Shadow! Welcome to school! Please circle five subjects to do.

SCIENCE

MATH

CREATIVE WRITING

ART

HISTORY

PIE THROWING

SWIMMING

COOKING

NATURE

ADVANCED PARKOUR

SHAPSHIFTING 

I circle shapshifting, advanced parkour, art, pie throwing, and nature for my courses. Then I open a portal to Dorm Four.

~~~~~~

I promptly land on silver haired AE. 

"Oof." She says. 

"Oops. Sorry didn't mean to do that. Ever since that pie war my portals have been on the fritz. I'm still getting hit by pies and it's been WEEKS." I say. 

I get off the poor AE that I crushed and notice that they're both looking at me in shock. I guese they don't see that everyday.

"I'm Shadow." I say rememboring Moonfrost's strick words that I will not shoot chikens at the first people I meet.

"I'm cloud." The AE says who I smushed.

"And I'm Zoey." Zoey says.

"Cool. Cool." I mumble, loooking at the beds. 

I slip into the shadows under the green bed, and find that it's to my liking. The shadows are nice and deep, creating a wonderfully large space. I set to decorating it. I hear Zoey and cloud continuing their confasasion. I slip into cloud's shadow to lisen.

"So, what classes do you have?" Zoey asks.

"I have art, science, creative writting, swimmimg, and nature." cloud says.

"Cool! We have creative writing, swimming, and nature together. I also have advanced parkour and cooking." Zoey gushes.

"I have shapshifting, advanced parkour, art, pie throwing, and nature. Looks like we have some classes together." I say from cloud's shadow.

"What!?" cloud looks confussed to have her shadow talking. 

"It's me." I say sliding out of cloud's shadow.

I stand up next to Zoey, still looking just like cloud.

"I can copy another person's shadow exactly. Making myself look just like the person I'm coping. That's why I'm in shapshifting, so that I can copy an animal. Also, I have one rule. Do not. Under ANY circumstances touch my chicken gun or go under the green bed." I say.

I then proceed under the bed.  

Trevor~

Hugh, Blaiyre, and I enter the Boarding School together, then leave our separate ways to find our groups. As I wander around, lugging my suitcase, a person in a hoodie waves me over.

"Hey there, you must be Trevor!" I nod, then the hooded person hands me a pamphlet. "In here you'll find everything you'll need." I thank them, and quickly skim the booklet. At the last page, I see:

Hello, Trevor! Welcome to AE Boarding School! 

Your group is:

cloud

Zoey

Shadow

Dorm 4

Then it lists all of the possible classes I could take, saying I have to choose five. Easy enough, so I circle Science, Creative Writing, History, Nature, and Swimming.

Now to find this Dorm 4. I travel down one of the hallways seen on the map that shows where the dorms are. Sure enough, a few doors down I see a plaque that reads, Dorm 4, with the names of cloud, Zoey, Shadow, and me. 

I hesitate, wondering if I should knock or just barge right in. I decide to knock, so I do so, and Zoey answers the door. Over her shoulder, I see one other person who has silver-white hair (must be cloud), and what looks like a human shape under a bed (must be Shadow).

Zoey smiles. "Hi, Trevor. You're too polite, you don't need to knock. Come right it."

I shyly step over the threshold, still dragging my suitcase. I see that three out of the four cubicles have already been claimed, so I set my things down at the last one. I smile as I see that it's beadspread is burnt orange, one of my favorite colors. Zoey must've remembered.

I don't bother to unpack just yet; there will be time for that later. I turn and say to cloud and Shadow's shadow under the bed, "Uh, hi! I'm Trevor, but you already knew that."

"I'm cloud," cloud says. "Lowercase c. And that's Shadow."

A muffled voice drifts out from under the bed. "And since you weren't here earlier, make sure that you never touch my chicken gun or go under this bed."

I nod my head once again. "Good to know." Then I turn to Zoey. "So, um, long time no-see? What's been new with you?"

~~~

Blaiyre and Hugh will be posting their account of Boarding School sometime tomorrow, but as a joint effort, since it would be pointless to post each of their separate accounts when they never leave each other's sight. 

Pzun~ 

After we fly into school, I get a guide pamphlet from a friendly girl/boy, wearing a hood. I look at the first page.

Hello Pzun! Welcome to AE Boarding School!

Your group is:

Kiki

Celeste

Juniper 

Dorm One 

Epic- I’m with Kiki! I don’t know Juniper that well. Celeste’s new and I didn’t see her intro, so I don’t know her that well either. But it’s a pretty cool group, and I can look at the charrie sheets later.

There’s a lot of cool classes- the list says

Science

Math

Creative Writing

Art

History

Pie Throwing

Cooking 

Swimming

Nature

Advanced Parkour

Shapeshifting.

I decide to pick Science, History, Advanced Parkour, Pie Throwing, and Swimming as my five. Then I head to Dorm One. I spot Kiki heading there too. “Hey Kiki! Race you to our room!” 

“You’re on,” Kiki grins at me. I put on a burst of speed, flying just above the ground and occasionally running to give myself a boost. We tumble into our dorm room, laughing.  

A girl with wavy brown hair rolls her eyes at us, then goes back to her book.

“I think that’s Juniper,” Kiki tells me. 

I look around the large room. It’s divided into four small sections, with a comfy area in the middle with beanbag chairs and a coffee table. I spot my area right away. It has brown walls, with contrasting green tree silhouettes. There’s a soft carpet and a bunk bed with a little climbing wall to get up and a slide to go down. There’s also a white wood desk tucked into a corner. “Is it okay if I call this one?” Kiki asks, in the section next to mine, with a red bunk bed and roses. “Sure- but only if I get this one,” I tell her. “Do we have any classes together?l

Kiki looks down at her pamphlet. “I have Shapeshifting, Science, Advanced Parkour, Creative Writing, and Art. When do you think classes start?”

“I’m in Science and Advanced Parkour too!”

“Nice!” 

I flip through the pamphlet, trying to find the class times. Ah- there!

“Classes start tomorrow,” I tell Kiki, glancing at the afternoon sun through the window. “I think Nature is the first class, before breakfast, then breakfast, then Creative Writing, then Swimming, which is my first class. There’s a whole schedule in here. Cooking’s last- it’s just before dinner, which makes sense since the AEs will probably make dinner in class.”

Kiki’s found the page too, and is circling all her classes.

After we unpack, she asks me, “So, do you want to come explore this place?”

I grin at her. “Definitely- let’s go.” 

Shoot, Sorry! I got grounded! Still too late...? You started rping, PLEASE TAKE HIM!
