THATS IT

hi im frankie :)

ok now we are walking around and im showing you all the places. asking some introductory questions. yknow. ok now we are going to [[first period]]

it is. uhhhh. Math Class they did the math. they did the monster math. the monster math. etc etc etc [[break]]

it is now. uh. Science Class if ur buds w frankie. she complains about her mom (the teacher). but anyway. the teacher is the kind of cool teacher because she lets kids blow stuff up. on to [[third period]]

go get a snack bathed room talk 2 a teacher hang out in Library / Cafeteria / dumpsters behind school etc etc (if invited to hang out w someone) hang out w them [[second period]]

it's English.!! yeah [[lunch]]

hang out with groups: frankie/adrian/iris, zombie/werewolf (sports gang), theater troupe (callie, minotaur, satyr), etc. (demon + that one girl r conspicuously absent?) [[fourth period]]

MAGIC CLASS.... ok so the teacher is like. a young new hire who is convinced shes gonna Change All The Students' View Of Magic. she like. makes everyone do like. go around in a circle and share their feelings. because you see?? MAGIC is all about your FEELINGS. MANIFESTING into REALITY. all that stuff about spells and formulas and rote memorization and stuff? that's WRONG if you do it that way you're WRONG!! and then when nobody takes her class seriously she is like... alas.... woe is me.... i just want to be Hip With The Youths..... like that one science teacher....... man that one science teacher is So Cool...... (she is gay) like obviously i want u to be able to change her mind but i'm not too sure how that would happen narratively maybe iris is having trouble bc they keep accidentally using psychic powers instead of magic?? (according to the teacher THEY ARE SO NOT THE SAME THING) + they complain about it after class. n u can be like. "hey maybe go talk to her about it?" or something like that? like. i want the message to be like. it's better to talk to ur teachers when something isn't working for u rather than like, just suffer through it in silence? but idk. maybe u can like. gather a coalition of concerned students. so they can back each other up. oh idk if the main character (being a human) can do magic even??? hmm [[fifth period]]

Pee Ee!!!!!! yeah [[after school]]
