Erika sighed; this kid's peppiness was going to kill her one way or another. As soon as she heard what his idea was, she slightly grimaced. "Listen, not only does bacon eventually soak in the melted cheese, but the flavors are greatly conflicted and the appearance would look awful."

Alice painted in her art studio when she heard a knock at the door. That was when Will Vermillion entered.

"Hello." He greeted. "I heard that you were apart of the Assist Club along with being a member of the Art Branch. If it's not too much trouble, I'd find it best if we could introduce ourselves in more detail."

Alice nodded.

"It's no problem, Will." Alice said, trying to be friendly. "I'm just working on some art pieces at the moment."

"I've actually heard a lot about you Alice." Will replied. "Your actually becoming a rising start here in the art branch. I've actually saw your piece at the last exam."

"Really?" Alice asked, slightly surprised. "What did you think."

"Where to begin." Will said, deep in thought. "Well, for starters. The skills you show are still rather rough, and need to fine polished. Also, sometimes your imagery can be a little overly simplistic. There are also times where your paintings look slightly monochromatic, and could use more contrast."

Alice was almost about to retort to defend herself.

"However." Will said. "Your art does showcase a sense of innocence and kindness that could never be taught in a class. I'm almost envious of your uncanny ability to create imagery that looks so serene and peaceful. If given some practice, you have a lot of potential."

"Um..." Alice stammered. "Thank you."

"Why thank me?" Will asked slightly confused. "All I did was state my opinion, nothing else."

"Well..." Alice said, trying to piece together her words before Will interrupted once more.

"Be that as it may, I have some more loose ends with my projects I have to tie up. I suppose I'll see you later. Til then, take care."

Will then left before Alice could say goodbye.

Wow... He's kind've an enigma. Alice thought. He seems so cold and distant... But I wonder if their's a softer side to that icy shell?

After classes were over it was finally time for Club Activites to start, students that were in clubs were to head towards their respective clubs, while those that weren't could just go home if they so wished to.

"Okay, time to go to the club," Jordan sighed, scratching the back of his head as he thought of finally getting to see Zima again, at least, properly see her. "I need to resolve that," he said before sighing again and pocketing his hands (drink) only for him to look down. "I wonder when this became a habit," he said as he took his hands out of his pockets. "It feels weird like this though."

"I wonder if Madison'll check the club out, I did tell her about it since we are looking for members," he shrugged before beginning to walk.

***

"Well that was interesting," said Anna as she walked out of the Performance Branch with Felix, in the end they ended up having all of their classes together to Anna's own shock. "Well since you've been following me around all day," she teased. "Wanna come see the club I'm gonna be joining?"

***

Dia finished changing back into his normal clothes before walking towards Erika. "I'm sorry for being hard to deal with Ms. Erika, I didn't mean to cause you any trouble," he said before bowing politely. "Sometimes I just forget I'm supposed to cook more gourmet things and just go for what is tastier."

Since Sophie knew where the Assist Club met, she had headed there right after her classes had ended. She figured she would surprise Nate for a laugh. When she got to the club room, she took a moment to look around. "Quaint... but nice." She said quietly, noticing that one of her brother's guitars was leaning up against the wall. "I guess he keeps this here just in case." She mused as she took off her leather jacket. Tossing it casually onto one of the chairs, she picked up Nathan's guitar and sat down with it and began to play. She was good, but nowhere near as talented as her brother, who had in fact taught her to play when they were kids.

Zima met up with Danny as the two headed out towards the club. Today Danny would officially join, and Zima had something to talk to Jordan about. She knew the two couldn't avoid it any longer, and it wasn't like they would get interrupted since she highly doubted anyone other than Danny and Anna would join the club.

"Who are you?" Zima asked as she entered the room.
`````````````````
Meanwhile elsewhere in the school, a new student was talking to Rafe about something, and suddenly, seeming really excited, they ran off.

"Mmm....was it a good idea to tell her about the club? She might drive them insane..." Robin said trailing off.

"It should be fine. She can be useful to them, plus this way I won't have her hanging around me as much. As much as I care for her, I like peace and quiet," he told his friend, returning to reading Lover Reborn. Robin meanwhile shrugged and returned to his drawing.

"You seem familiar," Jordan pointed out with a raised eyebrow in confusion as he looked at Sophie hanging around the room, somethin that made him wonder if he was locking the door right. "Aren't you Nate's sis?" he asked, though quite unsure and still confused since he was sure she attended a different school, though he wasn't surprised with all the transferred students.

"Hey, it's not my fault we have the same classes!" Felix said, laughing to himself as Anna pointed out their shared classes. Anna peaked his curiosity she mentioned clubs, however. The thought was interesting. He had never really been in a club before. It just never really interested him. However, considering the school was intent on impressing him at every opportunity, maybe he'd find something fun.

"Clubs, you say? What kind of clubs does this place have?"

Alice walked to the club room.

So much has happened over the school year... I hope we can just get back to some quieter club activities... She thought.

Alice walked into the club room, and took a seat.

After a minute, Alice turned to look at the door at the sound of it opening, and saw Will enter.

"Hey, Will." Alice greeted.

Will simply glanced in Alice's direction, before taking a seat and placing his bag next to him. With a precision and speed that almost seemed mechanical, he pulled a book out of his bag that seemed to be a collection of works by Sylvia Plath.

Alice simply stared at Will for several minutes.

Will then clamped his book shut. "You." He said, looking slightly annoyed. "It's rather tedious to read when someone is starting. If you have a question you'd like to ask, ask it."

"I'm sorry..." Alice said, looking slightly flustered. "I'm just worried that you have something on your mind."

Will stared at her blankly before giving an almost amused smile. "Your a kind girl." He said. "But I wish not to burden you with my own personal problems."

"It's okay." Alice said, giving him a gentle smile. "I don't mind."

"Funny." Will said, almost nostalgic. "You remind me of someone I used to know."

"Who would that be." Alice asked.

Drew's expression then once again became rather annoyed before he said. "I'm afraid that information is none of your concern."

At that moment, the conversation came to a stoney and awkward silence.

Sophie heard Jordan's voice and stopped playing. "Half sister." She said with a smile. "Sophie Dalton. Pleasure to meet you Jordan." She winked at this. "As for what I'm doing here, I'm joining your club. I transferred here because Dad wants me to keep an eye on Nate. You know, because he almost failed out. That's rather uncharacteristic for him. Too smart for that we thought." Sophie added dryly.

Erika simply sighed before saying, "Yeah, it's fine. And don't call me Ms. Erika, there's no reason to." She added, heading to the club room. When entering inside, she noted the new person. Wordlessly, she walked further inside and placed her stuff down.

***

Meanwhile, Zane met up with Faye in the hallway after classes. "Hey, can you drive me home today? My parents are still at work." She jumped slightly due to the fact she didn't see him. With a slight smile, Faye turned around to face the boy.

"I have art club after school, I'm sorry... You would have to wait for me and Erika to finish. I drive her too."

"She's in art club?" Zane asked, somewhat confused.

"Oh, no. She's in the assist club." Faye replied, thoughtfully tapping her chin. "We finish around the same time."

Without a word, Zane made his way towards the club room out of pure curiosity.

"Well then nice to meet you Sophie. I'm Zima and this is my brother Danny Boy...and you are...?" she asked Will, wondering why he just came in completely ignoring everyone without introduction. "Oh and hi Erika."

"Thanks for showing me around Emma, I actually want to see this club that my partner Jordan something said for me to look at it." Madison was all happy, skippy and jumpy in an endearing manner. Boy she had a lot to learn. "I haven't been this relaxed since I saw a clown at McDonalds on a roof getting pelted by hamburgers."

"Ah...huh why does that sound familiar....Oh right the Ronald McDonald who was crying in the fetal position. I remember reading about that. That poor corporate clown. So are you going to join?" Emma asked as she carried a clipboard with her with several papers on it.

Madison seemed a little hesitant in answering that question about joining the club. "Well I don't want to jump in something random like that except when I totally skydived like last week, it was so amazing but I don't know I got to trial it or something. They told me that it is really well received."

"Right..." Emma just looked at Madison and then they found the room. "You have fun with that, I need to find that Nathan guy." Instead Emma walked up to the Jordan and said something along the lines of 'Give this to Nathan, it is his fitness schedule and he needs to follow it for him to be in tip top shape and my expectations. If he does not follow it, I will ramp it to the highest degree of difficulty and please don't ruin this one, bad enough you have some losers." Emma pointed at Alice and Will, "Please don't ruin Madison, she is very nice person and I don't want to see her turned into that...." she pointed again at Alice and Will.

"Hi!!!" Madison crept up from behind Emma and was now in front of Jordan. "I'm just looking around and hiiii" The pretty copper hair teen smiled.

"Oh, well nice to have you on...you're just a rude guy aren't you?" Jordan pointed out as he turned towards Will before he looked back at Sophie and smiled. "It's a pleasure to have you on board Sophie," he nodded his head as he smiled at Nate's sister, only for him to hear Zima come in. He felt his throat close up almost instantly as she saw her and Danny walk inside. "Hi...guys," he said while waving nervously.

That's when he noticed Emma and Madison as he grabbed the schedule. "I'll give it to him Emma, don't worry," he replied, feeling a bit nervous around the girl after seeing what she had done to Nathan. "And hey Madison, nice to see you could make it," he smiled brightly towards his junior.

***

"Oh, it's a pretty interesting school...there's ...clubs for everything," Anna pointed out, remember that she actually hadn't been in any clubs before, in fact she was only ever around the Assist Club for that matter. "But this club is pretty good, my brother's the leader and well he made it as a club to just generally help people," she explained with a smile as the two entered the clubroom, only for her to see all the people that had gathered already.

"Oh there's new guys," she said as she looked at Sophie and Will.

Alice remained silent.

Will then got up, not even caring that Jordan was in the room to hear what he was about to say.

"Funny, I could say the same thing." Will said cooly. "Let's just say I'm rather grateful that a low IQ isn't catching like the common cold. Then again, just hearing your mere voice already makes me feel like my brain is rotting."

Will then looked at Alice. "I have to say, your kindness knows no bounds if you can befriend imbeciles like this girl."

Jordan was about to say something before Anna patted his shoulder. "Calm down bro," she pointed out, actually surprised Jordan seemed annoyed since it was rare for him to be annoyed at anyone. "Anyways hello to all of you new people," Anna smiled brightly while bowing politely.

"Hey, Zima and Danny." Erika said, not paying much attention to the numerous amount of new people in the room. She was about to say something else, but was cut off when she suddenly heard, "I spy with my little eye a major fashion disaster." Het eyes went wide open as she turned around to find Zane.

"All of you need a complete change." He huffed, gazing around at everyone. Looking over at Alice, he laughed. "You there." An accusing finger was shot her way. "Your outfit sucks, I'm not talking to you."

"Why are you here, Zane?" Erika asked, an obviously annoyed tone in her voice.

"Curiosity, my dear brute."

Jordan noticed Zane, and was mostly shocked at the way he announced himself, only for him to finally notice Felix as he was still standing next to Anna. "Who's this?" he asked while looking at Felix.

"Oh, this is my friend Felix," Anna said while pointing towards Felix. She then turned towards Zane. "Excuse me now?"

"I apologize for causing you trouble Jordan." Will said, before turning to Anna. "Either way, I believe we have not formerly met. My name is Will Vermillion, I take it your joining this student organization to?" He asked.

"That's Anna." Alice explained. "She's Jordan's little sister, and while she's not an official member yet, she's tagged along a lot to work some jobs."

"I see." Will replied. "In that case, I hope I'll be able to match your level of experience soon."

Sophie seemed highly amused by what was going on in the room. She simply looked at Will and sent a sweet smile his way. "À chaque fou plaît sa marotte." She quipped, finding it highly likely that it would go right over his head. She wouldn't speak in English on the matter until Nate got there and she was able to fill him in. She looked at her fingernails and added, "Que se croit sage, est un grand fou." As to be expected from someone who had spent time studying abroad in France, Sophie's accent sounded like that of a native Parisian. Not like Nathan, whose French gave away the Oxford accent he sometimes sported inadvertently.

"Actually I'm joining today," Anna grinned before looking up at her brother. "Me and Danny decided we wanted to join the club, surprise!"

"I thought you thought it was silly or something," Jordan raised an eyebrow before shrugging and walking over to his chair so that he could sit down. "Still, that's not bad new though," he pointed out before looking down at his cross pendant and leaning back. "I'm sure Adri would've liked that," he muttered to himself.
