I fixed my hair and straightened out my clothes for the thousandth time. The outfit was a little too new and stiff for my liking, but good ol' Eden had refused to allow me to wear any of my previously bought outfits on my first day of school. Not that any of what I had could be considered old or worn at all. I had so many clothes that by the time I got around to wearing a few things twice Eden had already bought me more. It was becoming a really big problem that I was going to have to talk to him about soon. That issue was hardly bothering me at the moment though. I had thought my one year anniversary of being away from The Company earlier in the summer had been a momentous occasion. As it was, I was more anxious about what this particular day had in store for me. I practiced a smile and pose in the mirror right as Button shuffled into Eden's room. The mirror in my room wasn't low enough to get a full view of myself. I gave Button a pat before smiling wider at my reflection.
"That just looks silly, doesn't it?" I said to myself and my dog, "I think a nice simple one will do fine."
"Ethereal!"
The call came from Eden downstairs. My heart pounded loudly for several thumps. It was almost time to go.

I walked downstairs slowly trying not to scuff up my new shoes. I found Eden in the kitchen furiously scrubbing away at a horribly messy stove.
"It still isn't coming off?" I asked in surprise.
"This is what I get for letting Blaze cook. 'Just a quick little thing,' he said. Yeah right!" Eden complained.
"You should get him over here to clean it off." I suggested.
"Believe me, I would if I could. The idiot is smart enough to know that's what I'll give him an earache about, which is probably why he won't pick up when I call."
"I find it funny, and somewhat annoying, how you'll let him cook, but you still are so uptight about letting me do anything." I half grinned, half pouted.
"I do need to rethink my priorities, don't I?" Eden chuckled before sighing, "And I guess I need to give up on this for the moment."

He set the sponge down and looked at me. I rolled my eyes mentally because I knew exactly what was coming. I hadn't heard the end of Eden's worries ever since it had been decided I would start attending public school.
"We have to be heading out in a minute," he began reluctantly, "Although I continue to think that we shouldn't. I don't know why I let myself be convinced that doing this was an acceptable idea."
"It'll be fine! I really do think it's like what Blaze has been saying- if you get me out where I have more pressure on me then there's sure to be faster results."
"He can only say that because he has no idea that you've only had about a year of proper education. And I can't get you jumping into a normal school after having such a short time to not only catch up to where you should be but also learning basic social norms and customs to play out well in my head. I think you, like Blaze, just don't understand exactly what you're getting yourself into."
"My friends have told me all about what school will be like though. I do understand!" I reassured him.
However, Eden shook his head and sighed again. He clearly didn't believe me. His watch beeped. It was time for us to leave. I really wished he had more faith, but I was content with knowing that there was nothing he could do to stop the current situation. He had gone ahead and enrolled me despite his reservations. I had to show up for the first day now whether he liked it or not. Eden put the lunch he packed in my bookbag before ushering me out towards the car.
