Though she wrinkled her nose at the smell of formaldehyde, Sarah said nothing to her temporary lab partner. She pulled the latex gloves onto her hands as she listened to the teacher talk about frog innards, giving the "map" and papers a quick once over. Scapel in hand, she moved to where t...

"Human body, organs and dissection." Sarah repeated as Remy explained what Bayview students were covering in Biology classes, "Okay." Sarah nodded as she half-listened to Remy talk about organs and dissection. As the pair walked into the lab, Sarah seemed composed. She gave the d...

Sarah nodded assent, happy to be shown the school. She trotted beside Remy, moving as quickly as she could to catch up. Her gait was a little off-balanced as she walked beside him, skipping every five or so steps to speed herself up and keep up with him. "So... erm... Remy... what... errr... wh...

Sarah's face brightened a little when Remy mentioned biology class. She smiled. A little. Just faintly. Then, she suddenly burst out laughing as she got a quick mental image of Remy and herself as a pair of strange-looking human-dog hybrids, walking each other with leashes. She shook her head to cle...

Sarah looked up at Remy. Somehow, she couldn't help that sinking, frightened feeling that left her quaking in her boots. Still, Remy seemed nice and friendly. Maybe she could make friends with him. She shuffled her feet. She could do this. She could introduce herself. She'd practised almost every da...

The boy moved! Sarah breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to her locker, fiddling with the lock a couple of times before getting it open. She swung her heavy bag from the floor into the locker, then selected a few books to take to her next class. Once that was done, she shut the locker door and relo...

Being in a single-sex school doesn't really prepare a person for interaction with the opposite sex. Sarah had met boys at church before, but never really hung out with them much. As a matter of fact, she could safely say that in her life, relationships with persons of the male gender were kept to a ...

Sarah winced as the shrill ringing of the school bell signified the end of her Mathematics class. Now halfway through her first day at Bayview Secondary, she'd decided that she would never get used to that loud noise. At least the bells in Crescent Hill had the decency to chime harmonically and unob...

Upon hearing Reika's friendly reply, Sarah looked at the other girl in the same way a deer might look at a pair of headlights. She examined every inch of Reika's face, looking for any sign that the other girl might be having an ulterior motive in inviting her to hang out. She found none. After some ...

Sarah looked up at Reika, "I'm sorry. It was bad of me to have interrupted you when you were practising." She looked from her completed Mathematics homework back to the piano and then to Reika's face as the other girl introduced herself. "Uhm, I'm Sarah Tan. I just got here, actually....

Sarah continued scribbling, finishing a page of Mathematics homework in almost no time at all. She loved the way Math worked. There was a right answer, and only one right answer. It didn't matter how you arrived at the answer, so long as you got it, unless you were doing a proof, in which case it wa...

Sarah wandered through the empty school halls, her nose in a book. It would probably take her parents another half an hour or so before they came to pick her up - Crescent Hill was some distance from Bayview after all. Not that she minded this, she rather liked the quiet after the initial rush of st...

Deep down inside, Hermione already knew what was going on, but she wanted to ignore it. She glanced quickly at Peter's sword, then back at Peter. "Haha. That's a funny joke, Peter." She said with a slight giggle. It was as if she had completely forgotten her statements about the happenings...

"Oh, there's lots of rooms upstairs." Hermione said cheerfully, her voice still barely above a whisper, "But you should be careful because the floor is a little rotten." By now, Hermione had decided what she was going to do about her situation. She was going behave as if everythi...

Hermione gave a little gasp, more in surprise than anything as the doors in front of her opened to reveal Peter Siu and his companion. She gave them a glance over. Peter Siu, male. More or less good-natured. Canadian. Quiet. Pretty nice guy. HARMLESS. Eiko Haraguchi. Female. Polite. Friendly. Pretty...
