A few minutes later, the compartment door slid open and in walked Dominic Denton. She smiled at him, then allowed herself to stare deep into his eyes for just a moment. She thought they were the bluest form of blue---the prettiest eyes she'd ever seen. She imagined they were the color of oceans in faraway paradises. Then there was his hair. He had the thickest hair she'd ever seen on a boy. Not to mention that his hair was perfectly hightlighted---was that natural? Hmm. Blinking, she came to and diverted her attention somewhere else for a moment. When she was sure she'd played it cool enough, she turned back to Dom. "Hey, Denton. Welcome back to chaos," she said with a laugh. "We're holding a brief prefect's meeting soon. We're just waiting on Chris to arrive. You didn't see him wandering the hallways, did you?"

Anna turned her attention back to Clifford, the new (she assumed) Head Boy. She and Clifford didn't exactly have the greatest history, but seeing as they'd be assiting one another in leading the school this year, she better make some sort of attempt to rebuild that burned bridge. She honestly couldn't remember where things between them had started to go wrong, but if she remembered correctly, it had something to do with Cale. Hmm. Could it be that with Cale gone they'd at least be able to remain civil towards one another? Only time would tell.

Ahh, so her suspicions were correct. Clifford Carden was indeed the new Head Boy. Had she really paid attention to his attire, she'd have known the answer to her question without even hearing an answer from Clifford. His Head Boy badge, quite similiar in some ways to her Head Girl badge, was pinned nicely to his chest. "Well then. I see a congratulations is in order," she said with a smile. "I am the new Head Girl, so it looks like we'll be leading the pack together." She thought for just a moment and then added, "We're supposed to give a little welcoming speech to our co-prefects, too. Ready to get started on that?"

Anna softly laughed as she watched Rachel fight with her hair. Anna knew that feeling all too well. In her younger years, she'd had very, very curly and unruly hair. It was only after years of straightening it that it finally decided to cooperate and, in Anna's opinion, actually look decent. "Your hair looks just fine, Rachel," she assured. "Although, I do know the feeling. Perhaps you should pin it back if it's bothering you that much. I think it looks nice, though."

She paused for a moment when Rachel began looking at her new badge. It occured to her that most people hadn't heard Clifford and Anna's news yet. As far as most people were concerned, both were still prefects. "This is my new badge. I'm still serving as the female Gryffindor prefect, but I'm also the Head Girl now," Anna explained, glancing down at her badge as she talked. "The badges for Head Girl and Head Boy are slightly different than the prefect badges."

It was only when the compartment door slid open again, that Anna turned from Rachel and looked up. Evangeline Green, Slytherin female prefect and longtime love of Clifford Carden, strolled in. The situation between Anna and Evangeline was about the same as the situation between Anna and Clifford. Evangeline didn't really care for Anna, but for the life of her, Anna couldn't figure out why. She'd just always assumed it was one of those "by association" type things. You know, the kind where you really don't care for someone simply because of their association with someone else? Evangeline didn't exactly have the greastest friendship with Cale, so that'd automatically put Anna on her hit list, too.

Nevertheless, Anna smiled politely when Evangeline entered the compartment. "Hey, Evangeline," she greeted in return. Anna's facial expression changed into one of surprise when Evangeline mentioned Vanessa...and her new position as prefect? Vanessa was in here? Anna must have missed her entrance due to the distraction caused by Dominic Denton's eyes and hair. "Oh, hey, Vanessa! You're a prefect now? Congrats!"
