Room 394. It was like the address of her hell and at the same time the coordinates to her throne room. The year had barely started and she was already begging for it to be over. Walking inside she gave a quick glance around her room, happily noticing several students look down or away from her in horror if they happened to lock eyes with Alexandria. So they knew! They had probably been hoping inside their tiny peasant heads that she wouldn't be in their homeroom class, but boy, they were in for a ride. She would be sure to provide them the queen treatment, like she had to her homerooms back in middle school.<br/><br/>Of course, there were jocks around too. A kingdom needed some knights to do the dirty work. She received some unnaturally happy greetings from several of them and simply offered them the most graceful smile she could muster. In the end, they were cannon fodder. If she ever got into trouble for exercising her queen powers, these were the people she sacrificed and put the blame on. It was all quite obvious and natural to her!<br/><br/>"Alright everybody, sit down!" The teacher walked in just as Alexandria settled in her middle seat, surrounded by people she could more or less tolerate. "I have your timetables and some announcements to make that I absolutely need your attention for."<br/><br/>Upon receiving her timetable, Alexandria glanced at it with a disgusted look on her face and sighed quietly. She'd have to find a way to pass chemistry and calculus this semester that wouldn't involve her parents so much.<br/><br/>"Our school has a new policy this year." The teacher announced. "Several families have complained to us about cliques and bullying in the school. This is a problem we have now become well aware of and will actively fight starting from this day. Therefore, certain measures have been taken to diversify classes and groups. Do not expect to get paired with your friends."<br/><br/>The class seemed displeased and moaned in unison at this. But the teacher persisted:<br/><br/>"St Elois has a great reputation. People work hard to get in and our aim is to provide them the best possible environment for learning and perfectioning their skills." He spoke and looked over to Alexandria. "This year, there will be consequences."<br/><br/>Damn. He knew. Alexandria looked down to her timetable.<br/><br/>"By consequences I mean that anyone unwilling to strive for this common goal will not graduate. Worst case scenario, the person in question will be expelled. There will be no exceptions to this rule and I hope you all keep this in mind as you begin your first classes." The teacher smiled to Alexandria and to several of her friends. "I hope you will take this as a great experience to meet new people and learn from them. That's all I have to say for now. Are there any questions?"
