Lilly was bored of studying, bored of classes, bored of learning.
Sighing at the lunch table, she leaned heavily on her hand, elbows on the table. She had already made a complete glutton of herself out of lunch and was spending the rest of the time, sulking over the idea that there was still classes. She would rather play. But of course, every young freshling had to learn. That’s what the caretakers said.
Looking up to her classmates, an idea occurred to her. Giving a sneaky grin, she scooped up a pea on her plastic spoon, pulled back the scooping part, and launched the pea across the table… towards a redheaded geist. His name was… Altair, probably. Lilly had a particular fondness for geist… They were so cool looking, with those tendrils. She smirked at the geist from across the table, wiggling her fingers in greeting.
