Patience sat against the building at the edge of the school yard, outside the door closest to her classroom. Her mother had taken off work that day so she could talk with the teacher and help Patience get used to school, but is only made Patience feel guilty. She knew how rarely her mother took off from work, for the only reason that she loved what she did. And now she was inside trying to balance watching Patience's brother and making sure the teacher would be nice and kind and all those things. Patience never really understood the care both her parents seemed to have. As she walked the halls and sat by the playground, most kids seemed to be doing fine on their own.
Shivering slightly, Patience slipped off her pink backpack and clutched it tightly, beginning to feel anxious. She had never spoken to any kid her age or older, and had absolutely nothing to say to them if she wanted to. They didn't seem to be anything like adults, which Patience had the most experience with, but in many ways they seemed better, friendlier. Picking up a small stick, she began poking to grass in various patterns, losing herself in her imagination before she thought more about the frightening future soon to begin.

Drake, now successfully covered in sand with his backpack still on his back and also now covered in sand, sat in the sandbox for another moment and looked around until he caught sight of a girl that looked a little nervous and was poking around at the ground with a stick. With a grin, Drake hopped out of the sandbox (with pants, hair, and face still covered in sand) and started over to her. "Hello!" he said, stopping by her and waving at her with sand falling off of his hand. "I'm Drake! What's your name? What grade are you in? Are you scared, too?"

Bree's amber eyes glowed as she darted toward the school yard, this was so exciting! She could finally see what her brother complained the most about, school! While she was sure that it wasn't going to be the same with her being a lot younger than him, she couldn't wait to start and meet new people! "Bree!" Her father called to his hyper daughter, "don't run off again!" He inwardly sighed as he jogged over to his daughter, Bree and sugar weren't a pleasant combination. "I'm not!" Bree chirped in reply and curiously peered through one of the windows while standing on her tippy toes to see inside the interesting building. "What's going on in there?" She wondered aloud and tried to see more clearly by trying to pull herself up onto the ledge. Catching sight of the other two kids out of the corner of her eye Bree stopped trying to see through the window and darted over to them, a wide happy smile on her face. "Hi!!" (If we need more characters eventually I'm happy to make more! )

Patience started slightly when she heard a voice nearby, having not noticed the other young kid come over. Glancing quickly up, she listened a moment until he stopped speaking, then slowly responded as she considered her answers. "I'm..." What grade was I? There's a first grade, but was I in that? I was something else...something hard to say. "Kidergarden?" She said, frowning slightly in thought. "I-I"m not scared, though." The last thing she wanted was people knowing her seemingly unreasonable fear of others, and she was already beginning to regret responding at all. Her instincts told her to hide, but she had a feeling this boy might follow.

"I'm in kindergarten, too!" Drake said, still upbeat and not put off in any way. As far as he was concerned, this girl and him were already best friends. It was at about this moment that another girl ran over to them, all excited and bouncy like Drake. He grinned at this new girl and introduced himself once more. "Hi! I'm Drake! This is... umm... my new friend!" He told the new girl to explain Patience. "What's your name?"

Bree smiled widely at Drake and Patience, "Hi Drake, I'm Bree!" She smiled and bounced a little, clasping her hands behind her back and rocking back on her heels slightly, "what's your name?" She asked Patience, softening and lowering her voice to a not so nerve wracking volume. After a moment of studying the shy girl she realized that she was scared and Bree smiled kindly, "it's okay to be scared!" She chirped happily, "I was scared too!"

"Patience." Patience answered quietly, looking up at the other girl as she came over. "But I wasn't - I mean, not, scared!" She insisted, standing up like the other two were. Once up she realized she was probably the tallest out of the three, and not that it made much of a difference, it made her feel less scared nonetheless. "Are...you in kindergarten too?" She asked Bree, following Drake's pronunciation of the word as she wondered if both these kids would be in her class.

(Sorry, had to take a test! XD) Bree smiled widely, "yeah! I'm in Kindergarten too! Maybe we'll be in the same class!" She squealed excitedly and bounced a few times, her amber eyes glowing brightly as she got even more excited at the prospect. "that would be so cool!"

"We should go find our classroom!" Drake responded cheerfully. He knew what teacher he had but where the classroom was... well, he was afraid not. So far, he was liking this school thing. Why did Mason always complain about it? This place was great!

Patience nodded. "I was in there before." She started, before remembering. "Well, my classroom at least. Who's your teacher?" Though she didn't completely remember her own teacher's name, she hoped one of them would remember and have the same one. Slipping her backpack back on, she pulled open the door she had exited the building from earlier and motioned the others inside.

Anathema's Family
Tyde Garner | 5 years old | Kindergarten Tyde, also called Ty affectionately by his mother and father, is oddly independent for someone so young. He keeps to himself most of the time, which worries his parents since he doesn't seem very interested in making friends (they hope that him being around other kids will change this and hopefully help him learn to open up). Though he isn't very social, he's attached to his mother and stays around her most of the time. He's a bit anxious, which is worrying to his mother but his father reassures her that he will grow out of it. He's more sensitive than a boy should be. He's short and scrawny with short, wavy light brown hair and big blue eyes. He has plump pink lips and tanned skin with freckles dotting his nose. He likes stuffed animals and light, pretty colors.
Evelyn Garner | 32 years old Evelyn is a 5'6" thin woman with long brown hair that is usually tied back in a bun with a few stray hairs that frame her face. She has a round face with kind blue eyes that match her son's. She's very friendly and gentle, and adores her little baby boy. Although her husband warns her about babying Tyde so much, she can't help it. She's a stay-at-home mom.
Matthias Garner | 36 years old Matthias isn't very tall, being 5'9" with slicked back, dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. He's an idealistic man and has plans for who he wants his son to be when he grows up. He loves his wife but worries that Tyde won't grow up to be a normal boy if he's babied and taught to be dependent the way that Evelyn wants him to be (even though it's clear that Tyde would rather keep to himself and depend on himself).

((*quickly comes up with a typical teacher's name*))
"Umm... I think her name was Ms. Williams!" Drake said, all perk and happiness. Yeah, he was pretty sure that was his teacher's name. "Is that your guys' teacher, too?" He asked hopefully, bouncing up and down a bit with his hands looped through the straps of his backpack all while he did so.

"Yeah! That's my teacher too!" Bree chirped and wiggled in excitement while she gripped the straps of her backpack excitedly, her amber eyes gleaming with an innocent cheer. "What about you Patience? I hope that's your teacher too! Then we 'd be all together!" Bree jumped up and down, "that would be awesome!!"

"Yes, I think so." Patience nodded. She had definitely heard the name, so it had to be her teacher. Twisting a bit of her blond hair around her fingers as she headed inside, she tried to remember which classroom exactly was their's.

Drake skipped along after his newfound friends, excitement making him turn from skipping to hopping down the hallway like a rabbit. He was in awe of all of the older kids as they passed by them. "Look how big they are..." he whispered, partially to himself.

Patience nodded, also looking at the other kids, but more in fear than awe. "Do you have any older brothers or sisters?" She asked, skirting the other students as she tried to find the same classroom she had been in earlier.

"Yeah!" Bree giggled happily as she skipped along beside Drake and Patience, having fun pretending that she didn't know where their classroom was, "my brother Ben is really tall and he's nineteen-years-old! He's really cool!" She wasn't too fazed by the older kids, none of them were as big as her brother, and meeting older kids was always extremely fun, even if they didn't react too kindly to a kindergartener bothering them. Even then her bubbly attitude usually won them over eventually. "I think we're going the wrong way!" She giggled, amber eyes gleaming with faint mischief, "the door was covered with colorful things and all of these doors are boring!"

Ruby Rose's family
Skylar Stevens|5| kindergarten Skylar is a small and pale girl, who looks nothing at all like her family members. She has bright ginger hair that falls around her shoulders in gentle waves, which (currently) is usually put in a pair of pigtails. She has pale, freckled skin and bright blue-green eyes. She has a condition that caused her to be born without legs, and so she uses a wheelchair to get around. She was abandoned as a baby by her birth parents, and was later adopted into the Stevens family. She's rather brilliant, with a mind that is very adept with solving puzzles, and can be considered "gifted." She's a bit on the quiet side, but not exactly shy.

"Nineteen?" Drake's eyes widened. "That's so big! I have a big brother, but he's seven." Drake was very proud of his big brother. He was the coolest thing ever! Well... maybe not. He paused as they looked around at all of the boring doors. "Oh fudge. Now we're lost?"

"nope!" Bree chirped happily and briefly looked up and down the hallway, "I know where to go!" She giggled, amber eyes bright with laughter, clearly the whole situation amused her, she exactly where she was going and had been the entire time, even if the other two didn't know that.

Patience huffed a sigh and looked over at Bree. "Could you take us there?" She was quite unhappy about being confused it the first place, and now realizing the other girl might've been taking them the wrong way to begin with made her annoyed. Class could start any minute...what if they shut us out? She thought panically.
