Desdemona’s eyes batted when she heard the sound of birds chirping; the tops of her eyelashes touching her brow bone. No, she didn’t set an alarm, no, she didn’t have one. She sort of always had that relationship with nature where she trusted it to wake her up for her, either with the sound of the birds chirping, or her intuition sensing the sun rise, both happened today.
After peeping to see that the sun really was out behind the curtains, Desdemona sat up, stretching her arms above her head with a yawn. Then she dropped her hands, sinking her fingertips into the mattress. What day is today? She asked herself, then her eyes lit up and she smiled. It was the first day of school! So she would finally get to meet everyone!! She assumed she still remembered everything she had learned when she studied the entire school guidebook and student population, so the knowledge could finally come in handy!
She would get to meet the rest of cipher too, finallyyyyy. And talk to Thalia, FINALLY!! Desdemona was looking forward to seeing her a lot, and she was so sad she didn’t get to talk to her last night 
but she would today! So she was happy.
Knowing Thalia, she probably wasn’t up to any good. A lot of the time, she liked to party a lot, so she probably had some of the alcoholic drinks. Desdemona, unlike Thalia, didn’t really like to drink thattttt much. Mom and dad said no, so Desdemona said okay, but, really, maybe she would like drinking after she came to the Ninth house. Muahahaha.
You never know! But Desdemona knew. She just couldn’t say that because then she would get in trouble and she doesn’t want to get in trouble. What she wanted was to stay at the Ninth House with Thalia and learn cool magic. Poor Thalia, she must have been drinking, but even then, sometimes she gets nervous. When she gets nervous, she gets awkward, and when she gets awkward, she gets sad. Desdemona hoped she was okay.
Mona, herself, was doing great. Last night, she made a new friend, Raven, AND she met a new person named Atlas! She thought he was very nice. And pretty. So was Raven. Raven was pretty in a Thalia way, and Atlas was pretty in a new way. Well, actually, that way reminded her of Thalia too. Thalia was pretty in every way.
But beside the point, she also met that girl who’s name she didn’t know. The one in the blue dress. She barely even got to see her! At least before she ran away. She supposed she was looking at her during the spell, but, she couldn’t really remember the things she saw when her eyes turned white, much less could she remember what happened after her spells, when-
In her bed, having all of those thoughts, Desdemona was hit with a pang of unsettlement. It was that that inspired her to get up, make her bed, and then pick out her outfit for the day, and change out of her white night dress.
From her drawers, she picked an outfit that was pretty comfortable, and kind of like something she would wear on the farm. It had sneakers, so she could be on the move, and overalls because they reminded her of home, and also a tight, white long-sleeve that matched the tote bag at her side. To top it all off, she put on her headphones, and played music as she walked to class, freshly chosen from her playlist.
She walked out of her dorm, and strolled through the hallway. She wasn’t really paying too much attention around the hall, because she was enjoying the music in her ears, but right as she was looking for her class, her eyes met Thalia’s, and her eyes lit up again, this time brighter. Without thinking, as Thalia approached her, Desdemona ran over and threw her arms around her, bracing her just right. Then, the girl started speaking in their hug, and Mona remembered herself, pulling away to then answer. “So good!” She replied, then looked down shyly. “I was doing okay, but now you’re here, so I’m better.”
Mona looked back up, and Thalia complimented her energetic appearance, which Mona liked, “thank you, I am!” but didn’t like enough to forget that she was worried about how Thalia was last night without her, “are you?”
