“Same here but dawn is when I’m most awake,” Theo replied, walking towards the desk. “Being a child of Eos and all,”

Theo blushed before leaving the classroom, books wrapped in his arms firmly.

Time had passed and it was currently five. Hearing a knock at the door, he opened to see his partner, “Glad to see you’re on time, come in,”

Cho used her zeus kid powers to blow away the poster - balls, accidentally aiming it at a – very old – statue. Cho slides back in, eyes bugging. “ Oh… oh shit, ”

“Good,” Theo chucked. “I guess, see you then,”

“Sure, is five a good time?” He asked. “Best to get it done earlier than later,”

“Sure,” Theo responded. “I can get you some useful resources to make it easier,”

“I can the first half, I know quite abit about the Iliad,” He said, their task was to be on the Iliad and the Odyessy. Theo, being quite the bookworm, had read them prior to the assignment. “Seeing as I’ve read it multiple times,”

Cho sped up her pace, giggling. “ Nuh - uh! ” she turned a corner, making sure to dodge a few confused first years, a very angry seventh year, and taking a third year’s wallet. “ Can’t keep up, Cartwright? ”

“But that’s not fun. Can’t we just pretend that I know what I’m doing for once?” Rex said playfully. “Oooh, new club? What kinda new club?” 

Cho shrugged. “ It’s nuttin’, ” and at the small moment of Nine bsubg distracted, Cho hit him on the head – hard – with her rolled up poster. Running down the hall, she yells, “ Betcha can’t catch me! ”

Cho continues groaning in pain, massaging her shoulder. “ Can’t you see in the future or….is that the other kid …. ? ”

Emma parried his paper blow with her poster staff and then tried to hit him with it. Success. She tried again but the other half of the staff bent and broke, the second poster coming out. She laughed and backed up, putting her hands up. “Alright, I concede.”

Nine laughed and tossed his paper weapons in the trash. “Thanks for helping.”

“And they say I don’t pay attention in training,” Rex giggled, proud of herself. “What kind of extra projects? I’m happy to lend a hand if you need it.”

“Not so bad yourself,” Rex went in one more time to jab him with her faux sword. “If I knew clean up duty would be this fun I would’ve signed up a long time ago.”

“Whoa--” Nine stepped to the side. “You almost had my heart.” Shrugging, he continued. “Well, nobody wanted to do it, though I have free time and I`m gonna need some good shots for extra projects.”

Emma smirked and ripped the poster of the wall. Instead of making it a shield, she rolled it up like another sword and stuck it inside the other roll. Now it was a big paper staff. She raised her brows at him challengingly. “Alright, come at me, beanie hat.”

Cho sidestepped to avoid Nine’s poster, accidentally knocking down the school’s boring house plants. The girl groaned, rubbing her head. “Damn, warn me next time - ”
