Caelen walked into Ancient Runes, actually interested in what she was going to find. Runes were like an ancient code, and she loved cracking codes. She was forever leaving messages for her brother etched in paper and stuck it to his wall or told her mom to get milk in French. It was great fun, and also really good practice.

Anyway, milk and codes aside, Caelen looked around. Assigned seats? She admitted it, part of her was happy about this. It means she didn't have to sit next to some kids who were going to talk, or worry about taking some kids seat. On the other hand, she like the freedom to actually pick her seat. Whatever. She had a nametag to fill out.



She pinned the tag to the nearest open desk and sat down, laying everything out that she figured she would need. Did this have anything to do with the lesson? Rockwell would've told her if a teacher gave them seats. He hated things like this. He told her all about the professor that made you stand before class -that professor wasn't bad- and this would be considered right up there for him.

Ooh, maybe they were going to translate it into runes! Was she going to have to read people's names in runes? Because that sounded weirdly cool.
