I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Haunted by a million screams.

Kelly pulled her scarf closer around her neck as she walked back outside. She had already put her things in her room, and would have been content to stay in the warmth. But she could never get used to this cold, so she decided to spend a few hours in the bitter cold. With her large book tucked under her arm, she walked into the sunny chill.
It was an odd contradiction- the sun shining, yet everyone was chilled to the bone. As she walked out, she saw Lorin Czar. He was an adopted son of the headmistress, and smart, like her. They had talked in years before about everything from skeletal structure to the best ingredients for a sleep potion.
"Hello, Lorin. Mind if I sit by you? I can never quite get used to this cold, so I thought exposure might be the best idea." She smiled at him and sat. "I bought a book on trying to grow plants in extreme temperatures. I'm hoping maybe it'll help me grow some things here. I mean I know we have the classrooms and greenhouses, but its so frustrating, not being able to grow anything on all tundra."
Kelly opened her book, but didn't start reading, for fear of being rude. "How was your summer? Your youngest sister is starting school this year, isn't she? Keiri, right?"
