The Half-Blood Academy IC (Redo)

Marius frowned at Bell's words. He didn't want to hear that he had made Sky so upset. The merman was a good person and Marius had never meant to hurt him like that. He then heard Bell talk about her own ex, and even though he didn't know the circumstance of their break up, Marius knew that it was ugly. "That's understandable Bell, some times you just need time apart to feel better." Marius told her before hearing the school bell ring. "Come on, we should head to voice class." He told her as he stood up to leave.

Meanwhile John and Michael had left to go their morning film session with the football team. Mike had said goodbye to his sister and Dom, before giving his mother a hug as she left as well. Starlight trotted behind Mike, determined to join him in class.

"But you know Skylar, he's a hardy one. He'll bounce back so fast, he says he still wants to be friends tho...oh look, there's the bell. Let's go." Belvina slung her bag over her shoulder and walked behind Marius, Luciana walking very far behind them. Tündér grabbed her wand and walked off to magic class.

[Tomia]

Marius nodded to Bell, "Ya, Skylar has always been strong. I'm glad he still wants to be friends. So, what do you think we might sing in class today?" Marius asked his friend as they made their way toward their first lesson.

Nico walked into the Photography room a minute late. He gave a quick, half-assed apology to the teacher and sat down in the far back left corner. He purposely chose this seat as it was the furthest from the teacher.

Ely gave him a sad look.

You know, Nico, just because people might expect something from you doesn't mean you have to give it to them.

James heard the bell ring its mighty tone and released a heavy sigh, he stalked through the school and up the stairs to his classroom. Opening the door he apologized to the teacher and took his place at an easel, the drawing and painting class seemed very simple. He already had visions of art he desired to paint, it was rare that he was in the mood to do so, but right now he had a vision and a dream. Acting heavily on instinct and impatience he grabbed and brush and paint.

First came white and gold, the two colors weaved a sky of brilliance and light their splendor setting the scene as he took a pale flesh tone and began to outline a body from the shoulder up to the head. Using a detail brush he drew a mouth and set high cheek bones, the chin pointed and small. Slowly the figure turned into Elizabeth with her flowing auburn hair of bloody flame, he orange irises glowing like small suns, the girls smile glistened against the background.

James smiled at the painting as he looked to the face of his beloved, a delicate white dress sitting upon her shoulders with a high collar that barely showed her neck and fluffed out in a girlish design, around her neck was a crucifix that had a dog tag hanging from it. Caught in a daze he simply sat looking at the wondrous art and silently prayed for school to end, already.

Todd was halfway through his tray when he heard the warning bell ring ring. When he looked at his watch, though, he reckoned he still had time to munch on the food he had left. So he continued to eat.

A Few Moments Later...

Todd was huffing and puffing down the hallway, running like a madman before the final bell could ring, all the way to the band hall. Still got time... ya right. Todd thought, chidding himself for his foolishness. Todd was like this all the way to the band hall, but when he arrived, he was late by a second as he bomb rushed to open the doors.

Another day in paradise..., Todd thought as he went to get his instrument, getting ready for the chewout from his teacher, for being late, that was sure to come.

Ely gave him a sad look.

Nico flinched in his chair when he heard the intrusive thoughts. He was breifly confused then turned to the right and saw Ely. Nico was suprised that she was able to do that, but why did she? What did she mean when she said that I don't have to give them whats expected?

She winked.

Remember how I said I could communicate with any living thing? Yeah, well, last I checked you were alive.

And what I mean, is that even if you're the son of Hades and people think you're going to be a delinquent or whatever sort of prejudice you've dealt with in the past, you don't have to live up to their expectations. You can surpass them.

As I did.

'Un delinquente? Lo non sono un delinquente , io non mi importa di questa clas- Oh crap, sorry, forgot you couldn't speak Italian. I guess I have to think in English. As I was sayin' I'm not a delinquent, I just don't care about this class'.

Then why did you join it? Why not join a class you do care about?

Hmm...

Hmm...

'B-because I have to find B-' Nico stopped that thought, I can't- I-I mean I don't care about school in general'. He finally "said"

But aren't we all?

As the teacher stepped out of the room to grab some papers from the office, Nico got up and quietly slipped into the seat to the left of Ely. He then leaned closer to her and whispered, "Please stop looking into my mind, Ely".

"Okay everyone, some of you know who I am, but for those of you who don't I'm Mrs. Evans, your visual arts teacher. Meaning I cover drawing, painting l, sculpture wnd all that jazz. So, we were doing a lesson on Picasso particularly during his Blue Period, but before we get to rhat I'd like to get a feel for each of your art styles. You'll be given half an hour to draw or paint whatever you like, I'll review it and sort you into groups based off that. Okay, art supplies are over there so feel free to get creative." Aurelia said cheerfully, wiping blue chalk on her own smock.

"Hurry! Hurry!" Julia whispered to herself as she ran through the hallway. You weren't supposed to do that, but Julia was late. Sure, she had a valid reason, she had been to the dentist to get braces, but regardless of that she didn't want to wish her favourite subject: art.

She sped up and here strong legs were like drumsticks against the floor, and with a similar sound. Her hair swayed almost like a cape behind her, but she didn't feel like a hero in any way. Quickly now! The door to the classroom was right there, and she rushed right towards it.

She almost fell through it when she opened it and burst in, panting. She got to her seat and took out the note from the dentist explaining her absence and waved with it in the teachers general direction. Julia was still too breathtaken to talk. When the other students went to get material, she raised her hand.

"Mrs. Evans? What are we doing today?" She felt terrible for having burst in like she had done, and that Mrs. Evans had to repeate herself just because of her. Julia never wanted to disturb anyone.

The new braces disturbed her though. She was still unused to them (naturally) and they kind of hurt.

James raised his hand, "Hey, teach, this look good? It is the best I can do." James looked at his photorealistic painting, "Honestly, dont really know how it turned out this well." He was actually debating on whether or not to take it home, it would look rather good in Elizabeth's study he thought. Putting his signature at the bottom in black ink he smiled at it, he was actually genuinely proud of this painting, and it had been forever since he painted. Grinning wickedly he snuck his phone out and snapped a picture of the portrait. Tucking the phone back in his pocket he smiled to the teacher who he hoped would like it as much as he did.

[Charlia]

Oh... I see...

He's hiding something.

As the teacher stepped out of the room to grab some papers from the office, Nico got up and quietly slipped into the seat to the left of Ely. He then leaned closer to her and whispered, "Please stop looking into my mind, Ely".

She nodded, frowning. "Sorry... I'll stop."

Aurelia said cheerfully, wiping blue chalk on her own smock.

Natalie took the easel and started painting. A man with a mask over half his face--Erik--the Phantom of the Opera. He looked menacing and evil, but his eyes were... so sad... The picture would evoke loneliness. Shame. The pain of being ostracized because you were a 'freak'. But he wasn't the only one in the picture. She added Frankenstein, and he was weeping. She added La Llorona, her face twisted in a wail of pain. She added more and more, all 'freaks', all saddened, all alone. Then she added her final character.

She painted a teenage girl in a wheelchair.

She painted herself.

"Sorry, I'm back, just had to grab a few things," Mr. Marler said as he waved a handful of files. He placed the files on his desk, then walked up to the front of the room. "Alrighty then, My name is Mr. Marler and this is Photography 1. So today we'll start off with a simple project so we can get to know your fellow classmate. If you turn around, you'll see the charging stations for the cameras and their cases should be on the shelf below them. Today, your assignment is to find a partner and look around the school and take a picture of what you think the best part of the school is," He sat down and dismissed the kids and told them to be safe.

Ely jumped out of her seat, grinning.

"Nico, wanna be partners?"

"Nico, wanna be partners?"

Nico shrugged, "Sure, where are we going to go?" Nico asked as he stood up. He walked to the back and grabbed the closest camera and stuffed into the bag.

She thought about it for a moment...

"I... Come to think of it... I have no idea..."

"Maybe we can just take a picture of the room, maybe the teacher will be flattered and plus it will take just a few seconds," Nico said.

"You know... that might just work."

"Shall we then?" He said as he walked to the entrance of the classroom. "Do you wanna take the shot?" He asks.
