Heart strings

Some laugh and some don't

Wyatt: "yeah"

Lauren: "Spicy, I am Caliente" (*smiling and acting pretty*)

Matthew: "(*chuckles*) you are quite...different from others"

Lauren: "By the way, I'm done with your book"

Wyatt: "In less than a day?!"

Matthew: "you are a fast reader"

Lauren: "not really, but when the story is great I am always eager to know how it ends so yeah that's it"

Matthew: "impressive"

Wyatt: "I should give it a try as well of that's really so great"

Matthew: "Lauren told me you were a writer yourself right, so I would like your review as well"

Wyatt: "I sure will"

Matthew: "you have any book of yours I could read?" (*eyes sparkling with stars of excitement*)

Wyatt: "well yeah, there is this story I wrote but it's not done yet so maybe when it will be done"

Matthew: "no problem I will wait patiently, I'm sure it will be great" (*winking*)

Wyatt's face turned slightly red as he looked away

Wyatt: "I hope so (*nervously chuckling*)"

The door opened and the owl lady came in, with a big smile.

Pr. Vinogradova: "okay kids, good news. I just talked with the Headmaster and he agreed for today's course to be done somewhere more...let's say immersive"

Random student: "so we got to pack or something ?"

Pr. Vinogradova: "yes, pack your things, we are going for the movie theater of RASAC. There, we will be watching a movie and have a debate on various topics I will tell more about once we will get there. So common guys let's hurry hop hop hop i am so excited (*sneers*)"

Matthew: "Well that's quite a college"

Lauren: "I know right, like this is clearly worth spending so much money."

Wyatt: "I like movies, I wonder if they have popcorn"

Matthew: "That would be un-"

Pr. Vinogradova: "And there will be snacks and sodaaaaa (*cheerful*)" (*getting out of the room followed by other students*)

Matthew: "well, (*shrugging*) I guess they can"

Wyatt: "this school is crazy"

They all took their way out and followed the lecturer towards their destination, the movie theater.

Somewhere in a hallway, a female deer student was walking to her class in a hurry and glanced to her side to see the group of students walking, following an owl lady. She sighed and looked as she envied their smiles and joy. She quickly focused again on the door. She was a small student, she had a really nice brown fur and pretty black eyes. But something about her was off...she seemed to be quite stressed as she was wearing a sweatshirt a bit bigger than her.

It was clearly not for style, more likely to hide something...

She finally knocked at the door and the lecturer told her to come in. She opened the door to meet with a huge classroom. The walls were white except from the back wall that was a mosaic. A beautiful depiction of an ocean with immense waves. The lecturer was a lion he looked at the deer and said "You are late, miss Emma Woods"

The deer almost flinched at the roaring voice of the lecturer.

Emma: "I...sorry Pr. Reth"

Pr. Reth: "(*sighing*) try to be on time please, you can go to your sit"

Emma: "Thank you sir" (*quickly walking*)

As she walked past some students. Mumbles made her face sad.

Female Student 1: "Look at this freak, how did she even managed to be here"

Female student 2: "I know right, seems like high-school wasn't enough, she needs a little reminder of her place"

Those girls that were saying bad about Emma, were here classmates since middle school...they were her friends but something happened...she became the laughing stock of the school and had to deal with heavy bullying. The fact that her parents got divorced didn't help and she had a severe problem to get any friends...thanks to her grades she managed to get to RASAC, thinking she would be free of her bullies but unfortunately not only the smart people can get here.
And those girls were clearly not the sharpest pencils in the drawer but their families were rich, rich enough for them to get here despite their mediocre level.

One could ask how can an elite school like this accepts such things, the answer will surprise everyone, Money. As long they took pride in their motto, RASAC can't afford to only accept brilliant students. Because most of the times they're not wealthy and get through scholarships.

It's sickening to let people rule the world with money and do as they please but if one wants to get anywhere in this world nowadays, they need to get money.

Emma sat and took out her computer as she looked through the window, wishing everything to end.
