Isabeau nodded slightly in acknowledgment to the woman who had brought her to the ceremony and took an empty seat near all the other students. She looked at the eggs and saw that most were hatched already. Would there be one for her? She bit her lip and leaned back, surveying the area. The girl surveyed everyone's faces briefly, her leg bouncing on the ground.

Ember Lee Anders

M: Moonblight & Flicker

Ember noticed the male had a scar, it looked jagged and he wondered how he'd gotten it. He examined the male from his head to his toes, he then found himself staring at the males lips.., they looked so soft.., once he realised he was staring at the male he made eye contact.., they were making eye contact. His heart stopped for a second, his hands were sweating, and he didn't know if he should continue making eye contact or not..- He was completely enchanted and didn't even realize Moonblight had left his lap.

Erin River Clearview(Bits or River)

M: Silent Shadow, Alina Smith, & Isabeau Rayfe

Erin was quite embarrassed, but he didn’t mean to yell.. It was his first day and he’d already made a bad impression. He chuckled softly then quickly walked to an open seat. He looked all around, there weren’t that many eggs left.. He then began humming lightly but abruptly stopped when he felt a presence, he then saw a shadow over the eggs, he then wondered what his own shadow was doing. He’d asked his shadow to go get his backpack but his shadow did as it pleased so it could be getting it or something else entirely. Erin then looked around the room to see if his shadow was here. His shadow wasn’t there but there was a new girl and another teacher now. He stared at the student, she had long beautiful auburn hair, and the most wondrous amber eyes. He didn't have a crush on her or anything, but he did think she was quite beautiful.

Isabeau's gaze befell a rather...brightly dressed boy and she paused. Her eyes flickered with curiosity before she blinked a few times. He was too brightly dressed for her taste but looked mildly approachable. Of course, she wouldn't approach him. That'd be a horrible start to the year. She had to keep her astute, cold air about her. So she stretched her legs out in front of her and brushed her curly hair out from behind her ear to hang partially in front of her face. Her chunky orange tabby peaked out from the drapings of her long and large linen pants. He meowed, his single orange-green eye looking around. Isabeau's fingers found her little frog tattoo and tapped it a few times.

Naomi Winter-30-Female-Headmistress
Naomi stood still backstage, she had done this before but it was still a nerve-racking experience. She paced in a small circle, worrying about the reaction she might get from the audience. She was also worried about the fact that some of the people who had come here before would get bored. She was still scared but decided to wing it.
As soon as she entered booing started and she looked at Rena. Her hand was cupped to her mouth which was in an o shape. She looked at her straight in the eye and hoped that she got the idea. "Hello, I am Headmistress Naomi and all new students welcome to Meadow Blossom Dragon Rescue! Those who are here again, I'm happy to see you!" She took a deep breath and continued, "As you already know this," She referenced to the table with the dragnets, "Is the Choosing Ceremony! So if you're up here already sit back down, dragnets or not and we can go in alphabetical order! Last names of course, so Ember Lee Anders get on up here!"

Rena Winter-19-Female-Student
Rena sighed and slumped in her chair, she knew she'd be last for reasons besides her last name. Even if J was behind R in some weird universe her sister hated her guts, and now that she had A LOT more power than her, she would be harder to get at. She sat and watched imagining that the dragon she got would be drab and brown. Joel put her arm around her shoulder and whispered as if he knew what she was thinking, any dragon that chose you would be the luckiest in the whole wide world. He squeezed her in a hug and she pushed away, "Hey no boy germs." Joel looked saddened and then she hugged him even tighter, "but you could use some girl ones."

Ember Lee Anders

M: Flicker, Moonlight & Naomi

Ember continued making eye contact and didn’t realize his face was a deep red.. When the male picked up Moonblight he panicked for a moment, he didn’t even notice she was gone, he didn’t.. how.. he needed to pay more attention. He then realised the male was talking to him, he just nodded to the male and stared at his hatchling, he was so careless, he should have paid attention.. He then realized the male had sat down and Moonblight was nudging his hand.. He stole a glance at the male and then immediately looked at the ground.. His voice was soft and portrayed his nervousness,”T-than-bu..-n.. Th-h..,(Thank you so much for bringing my dragon to me) Thankyousomuchforbringingmydragontome!” Why..!? Why couldn’t he just talk normally, socializing is difficult, why is it so difficult? He cleared his throat to speak once more, he was a little louder this time,”S-so bu.. Bu..” He took a deep breath,”I-I.. I’m Emb-ber..” His head then shot up when the Headmistress came in, he paid ention and wasn’t nervous or anything, untill she said his name.., he already had his dragonnet..? What was he doing..? He then realised his heart was racing.., he held his dragon to his heart, then stood.. He froze for a moment then began walking towards the headmistress. He glanced at the headmistress a few times but other than that his eyes were glued to the ground.. He was maybe a foot or two in front of the headmistress when he stopped..

Erin River Clearview(Bits or River)

M: Heather & Silent Shadow

Erin's head was empty until the shadow he saw earlier reappeared and spoke to him. The shadow seemed nervous so he spoke in a quiet, soft tone," Heyo- I'm River, and yeah I can see you." He chuckled and thought to himself, he wondered if the students here would think he was weird for talking to shadows, he didn't really care, he was just curious. No matter what he did they'd probably think he was weird. Then a girl came up to him, she also had beautiful hair but her's seemed to be shorter and fiery. She was also quite beautiful, when the girl spoke he replied in a loud, excited tone,"Heyo! I'm Erin Clearview, although I go by River.. it's my middle name, what's your name? Or uh what do you go by?" He then realised the girl wasn't sitting down, so he stood and held his left hand out to shake hers. He was a little confused. Out of the students the girl was talking to him, he was pleased to talk to someone, but confused nonetheless. After holding his hand out the Headmistress came out and began speaking. He sat down and began reciting the alphabet in his mind trying to figure out about when he’d go since they went in alphabetical order, after thinking the alphabet three times he figured out C was the third letter of the alphabet.. He sat looked down at his feet and chucked, he thought to himself, ‘Damn.., I’m dumb aren’t I.’.

Unnamed

M:

The dragonet was big and bulky and quite hated the egg he was confined to. He didn’t feel fully continuous, and he didn’t know much, but he did know he wanted out, no.. No! He needed out, he was ready, today was the day. He tried to move but he found that although he was partially continuous he couldn’t move. Why couldn’t he move, why wasn't his person here? He heard yelling, footsteps and then more yelling, something about Naomi, Meadow Blossom Dragon Rescue, already, dragonets, and an Ember Lee..? He was confused but hoped whatever was happening would somehow lead to him getting out of his egg.

Naomi Winter-30-Female-Headmistress

Naomi looked at Ember and read his expression then looked down at the dragnet that he held. "He'll be a charmer when he grows up, won't he?" She directed this question to Ember but was still looking at the baby dragon. "Since you already got your new friend why don't you just get up on the stage, wave a little bit, and then go stand over in that corner as I call the others, okay?" She then looked back to the rest of the students and said, "Since this is going slowly I'll call you five at a time just to hurry this up so it doesn't take all day. So Jeta Mya Anderson, Thomas Anvidir, Heather Ashlum, Jade Brooks, and Erin River Clearview come on up here so you can meet your new messy but playful friend!

Joel Winters-21-Male-Student

Joel stared blankly at the rafters above the stage, thinking about riding a dragon up high in the sky, smelling the fresh air, and watching birds pass by. Suddenly Rena tapped him on the shoulder twenty times and kept on saying, "Joel, Joel, Joel," in different voices. "I was daydreaming about riding a dragon so this better is good." Rena cracked into a giant smile then started to laugh as loud as she could. He was pretty sure that the whole back half of the auditorium could hear her. "Ok number one you, the guy who's scared of the stuff under rocks riding a dragon?! Don't you remember, you could barely ride a horse and even then you were sitting behind Naomi! And number two, do you know any of these people since you were here last year? And number three." She showed him her black greasy hands and Joel nearly puked. He saw a pen fall out of her pocket and grabbed himself back together and told her, "One, I'm not that much of a scaredy-cat, two no I can't see anyone, three the bathroom's to the right of the custodial closet." Rena gave him a quick look then ran off to the bathroom.

Rena Winter-19-Female-Student

Rena was bored. She had picked at every piece of clothing that she had on, twisted her hair into such a tight knot that she couldn't get it out, and it had only been two minutes. She was so bored that she dug into her pocket full of gum that she had hidden from Naomi. Her hand was so deep that it nearly touched the bottom of the stickiness. She suddenly scarped against something metallic and pulled it out. It was a pen. She wiped the gum off her hand and made a mental note to clean her pockets out later. She pulled off the cap and started to write on herself. She wrote her names in different fonts then drew some smiley faces. She got bored again and decided to pull the ink rod out of the pen. The pen has so worn that the ink stick broke as soon a Rena pulled it out and did a little twist to it. Now Rena's hands were covered in black ink and she was bored again. She talked to Joel for a little bit then went to the backdoor and waved goodbye, splattering some people in the last row. She tried to figure it out then just stood there for a minute or so.
