Adel Archard Baldrik sat with his eyes glued on the door. He was well aware that the shapeshifters, vampires, werewolves, and mages all sat separated from each other, ergo, he didn't want to be picked on or bullied while on the train. Although he was afraid for his safety, Adel couldn't wait to get back to school. He was the first of his entire family ever to go to school there, and while he had wanted to make friends, no one really talked to him the previous years. He had known to be careful, for he was well aware of the vampires and werewolves hate for one another, and he didn't want to get caught up in a fight. Why he would get caught up in a vampire-werewolf fight escaped him for Adel was a mage.
Adel looked out the window and watched the scenery fly by, shifting his eyes from the scenery to the door every few seconds just to make sure no one was sneaking up on him. Adel thought to himself, "God, I'm paranoid," and then laughed at his own thought. He sighed and wondered, "Will I make any friends this year either, or will everyone just hate me like they have the past 2 years? I'm not that bad of a guy......"

One room over, a girl was sitting alone as well. Well, she wasn't really sitting... Her legs were crossed and she was floating steadily above the floor. Her eyes were closed and she seemed to be in a peaceful state of concentration, murmuring something or other to herself. She was very obviously latina from her dark skin and long onyx hair, which was pulled out of her face with a red ribbon to match her red T-shirt.
A couple of mischievous second year vampires were wandering the train, and happened to peek in her window and see her. Giggling to themselves, one pulled out a pebble from his pocket and slid the door opened. The girl didn't notice. Taking aim, the vampire boy threw the pebble at her head and shut the door, both of them trying to keep their laughing down as she collasped onto the floor with an "oof!"
The boys expected her to come out screaming like a banshee, or at least to cry or something, but they heard nothing. Being careful, they peeked up into the window. She had resumed her position on the floor, and was quickly murmuring something to herself. The two boys gave each other a strange look, then shrugged and turned to walk away. Just as they were doing so, the glass from her compartment shattered and two identical pebbles came their way, hitting them in the head. Out of fear, the two small vampires ran off back to their section of the train.
Inside her compartment, Rosita Zapata smirked to herself for barely a second then calmly stood up, looking at the shattered glass as heads peeked out to see what was going on. "Nothing to see," she told them calmly, her face and voice completely void of any emotion as all. "Just a little accident."

Hearing "oof!" and shattering glass the next compartment over, Adel became a bit edgy, but decided that he may as well walk outside and see the commotion going on. He tiptoed outside, checking left and right for anyone that would want to cause him harm, specifically vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters. He peeked into the broken window of the compartment and stared deep into the eyes of a young latina girl. Caught by surprise, Adel jumped back and stuttered, "H-H-Hello, my n-n-name's Adel. W-W-What's yours?"

"Calm down, mage-boy," Rosita said. "Let me clean this mess up first..." Waving her hand and murmuring something that sounded spanish, the glass pieces glowed red for a moment, then assembled back into the frame. Sliding the door open, Rosita looked up at Adel. "Hello, Adel, my name is Rosita Zapata second year mage, though I'm new to this school." She looked him up and down briefly and smiled slightly for a second before returning to her slightly emotionless looking state, but her eyes still seemed to glow warmly. "Would you like to join me? Or were you sitting with friends?" She stood aside to let him in if he wanted to come in.

Adel thought to himself, "Yea right, when have I had friends?" Smiling alittle, Adel walked into the compartment and broke the awkward silence by saying, "Thanks for letting me stay in here, not many people like me, nor let alone would let me sit with them."

"Why?" she asked, raising one eyebrow in question. "Is there something I should know about you?" Her voice had a slight latino accent to go with her appearance.

Thinking hard, Adel finally answered, "I don't think so.....It's just....no one really wanted to be my friend. I could never figure out why. I just don't 'rub well' with other people. So, I've been an outcast." Adel then had another thought which made him smile. "I guess my charm hasn't worked the way I've wanted it too."

Rose laughed, something very uncommon for her, until she realized that magic was building up in her fingertips, making her stop abruptly. Clearing her throat, she rubbed her fingers against her palms to work the magic back while saying, "Your charm could use some work..." She smiled for a moment before continuing, "Stuttering doesn't attract good attention from anyone last I checked." Her face had gone back to its typical emotionless state, but her eyes shined with amusement.

"My charm worked well enough." Adel said with a smile, adding "You're talking to me and let me sit in this compartment with you. And...." Adel said with alittle thingyiness in his voice, "I'm not stuttering anymore."

Rose put her hands on her hips and looked up at him. "You think so, huh?" she asked. "I think me talking to you and you sitting here is just because I'm a nice person who'd like to make some friends at this school. Did you think of that, muchacho?" She once again raised one eyebrow up at him, then grinned for a moment before sitting down. "I'm just teasing you, Adel. Come on, siéntese so we can get to know each other, and perhaps we'll be able to call each other amigos before we get to school, hmm?"

Adel sat down next to Rose and asked the most obvious question anyone could have asked, "So where do you hail from: Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico? I'm from Germany myself, although I did move to Spain for a few years, so I do know some Spanish, which is how I understood everything you said."

"Well, I was born in Mexico, but my mother is Puerto Rican, so I am half Mexican and half Puerto Rican," she replied. "I've lived in both countries as well as Spain and Costa Rica, and obviously now America." She pulled her legs up to sit cross-legged, but didn't levitate at all. "I try not to speak spanglish since not everyone knows what I'm saying, but as you can tell, that doesn't always work... Do you have any siblings?"

Adel chuckled and put his hand behind his head, "Well, actually, I only have one sibling. A sister, but she's 25, so I don't see her alot, nor do I have to fight with her. How about you, do you have any siblings?"

Rose let out a long whistle. "Better make yourself comfortable, I have ten siblings..." She paused a moment to take a breath, and then began. "First there's Manuel and Marìa, they're fraternal twins but are 33 so don't live with mis padres anymore, and I don't see them too often. After them is my brother Jesùs, and he's 25, but I swear to you he acts like he's half his age sometimes. Very big jokester, you can guess, but I look up to him for it. Then there's Taquito, and he's 20 years old. He's somewhere in Europe with his newest novia seeing London and such... He's a big romanticist. Then there's my brother Dante, 17, who is also very immature like Jesùs, but not as good a prank-puller as him. He's cool, but he likes picking on me most just because I'm the first mage in our family." She rolled her eyes. "Anyway, then we have Esteban who is 15. There's nothing much to say about him, he's just Esteban... If you met him you'd know what I mean. Then there's the identical twins Mario and Marco Junior who are 14 and annoying as hell." She shook her head a bit. "Hey, I love them, but they push the limits sometimes. Then there's me, Rosita, age 12, not much to say there... After me is my hermanito Alejandro, but we call him Alex for the most part. He's barely a year younger than me, and he's like my best friend in the world. It sucks though, mis padres decided to send him to Dowager Institute and me to Veneficium Academia just because of my 'gift'... We plan to write often though, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Finally there's my hermanita Esmeralda who is 7. She's a sweetie, but todos en mi familia spoils her horribly because she's the baby. My mamá had a hysterectomy (sp?) after giving birth to her, so everyone knows she's the last one to be born in my family, ergo they spoil her." She took a breath when she finished and grinned. "Yes, eleven children, you can imagine how crazy things get when everyone comes to our house for the holidays."

Adel's jaw dropped at the number of siblings she had. Shaking his head slightly, Adel finally answered with a chuckle, "I don't think....I could handle THAT many siblings, but it does sound nice to have a younger sibling that's your best friend. It's always nice to have someone to hang out with or....just to be with....."Adel trailed off, staring blankly at the floor, falling deep into thought. Snapping out of his trance, Adel replied, "Well, mind if I'm your best friend here?"
