"...Right," I forced a smile onto my face, then followed her down the hall. The clicking of our heels meshed with the chatter of students. Most of them waved to Apple. Seems like she has a fan base, I laughed quietly. Apple turned to me with a soft hum. "Oh, it's nothing" I waved my hands, shaking it off. Satisfied, Apple turned around.

Apple began to point out classrooms, breaking the silence we had created. "There's the Damsel-in-Distressing classroom, Madam Maid Marian actually teaches that class, maybe you could talk to her about your destiny sometime."

"Thanks, Apple, that's actually some good advice," surprise laced my voice. I probably should talk to Maid Marian. After all, no one knows more about my story than the person whose it was before.

Apple continued to talk as we wandered the huge castle. She showed me where all my classes were, along with the castleteria, library, and study hall. Apple was just about to take me to the dorm floor when we were stopped by two girls. The first was tan with pink-streaked brown hair. A pair of light pink glasses sat on her head and she wore a hot pink rose-patterned dress. The second girl had natural red hair and green eyes. She had on a blue dress with pink accents, along with a pair of glass high heels. Apple happily rushed over to the pair and gave them a hug.

"Briar, Ashlynn, this is (y/n), the next Maid Marian. She's new, so I'm showing her around the school." Apple introduced you to the girls who you now know as Briar and Ashlynn. In response, you gave them a slight wave.

"Oh my fairy godmother, it is so nice to meet you!" Briar gave me a hug, just like when I met Apple.

"Agreed. It is so fairy hexciting to have someone new at school," Ashlynn joined the hug. As they broke the hug, Ashlynn spoke up again. "Where are our manners? We haven't even introduced ourselves yet. I'm Ashlynn Ella, daughter of Cinderella and this is Briar Beauty, daughter of Sleeping Beauty." Ashlynn's voice was soft and calm as she spoke, I could already tell that I was going to like her much more than Apple.

"Your outfit is absolutely spellbinding!" Briar's voice quickly rejoined the conversation. "The modern take on a classic princess dress totally fits your vibe."

"Thanks, Briar," I giggled. My dress was shorter, about the length of Apples and it was a soft black with (f/c) accents. Chains of pearls draped down my skirt like a belt. The skirt itself was fluffy and full. Half of it was covered by the black fabric that made the bodice, the other half was (f/c) tule. The bodice was form-fitting with little (f/c) bows down the center. Off-the-shoulder sleeves connected to it; they were long and flowy, slightly puffing on the upper arm. Folds of white fabric could be seen under the black. "It was a gift from the school. They hoped it would get me to 'embrace my destiny'." I spoke the last part very sarcastically.

Ashlynn looked down at her mirror phone, then nudged Briar. "We should probably get going, it's almost lunch and we still need to stop by the library."

"Well then you two get going," Apple started to push them in the direction we had just come from. "I still need to show (y/n) to her dorm, too." Apple and I waved goodbye as we continued toward the dorm. "It says here that you're roommate is C.A. Cupid, you're going to love her," Apple continued to talk, trying to keep the space between us less awkward.

When we finally reached my dorm, Apple pushed the door open and walked in ahead of me. "Welcome home!" Apple sang as she spun around the center of the room. Taking it all in, I noticed the already decorated half of the dorm. It was extremely pink, the only relief from the color being the occasional white decorations. The bed was shaped like a heart and had many pillows; a translucent canopy hung from the ceiling. A large closet and vanity sat on the right wall, with a window on the farthest wall. A girl stood in the window, presumably Cupid, my roommate. Cupid turned around as we entered.

"It's so nice to meet you! Welcome to Ever After High," Cupid walked towards me, expecting a hug like everyone else I'd met so far.

"Well I better let you two talk and unpack," Apple began to walk herself out. "I'll see you at lunch!" With that, Apple slammed the door shut before I could even wave goodbye. Turning back towards Cupid, I spoke.

"Likewise, I'm (y/n)" Cupid smiled at me, then headed to the unpacked boxes on my side of the room.

"Oh, I know, Headmaster Grimm told me all about you." She began to open the boxes, asking me occasionally where to put things.

"It seems like Headmaster Grimm has told everyone about me," I joked. Cupid laughed and I began to put my clothes away in the closet. "I assume he told you why I transferred so late, too?"

"Of course! Speaking of, Maid Marian, when are you going to meet your Robin Hood?"
