So like I was just in class, trying not to fall asleep when I felt something wet in my pocket which is weird since I only had my apple in it. Well turns out my apple exploded?! What the hell? …or was it actually an Applin? Wait- do applin change apples??? Ugh I wish I could ask Dad but my phone died :(

{Director Clavell tasks O’Hara, Aliquis, Hohma, and Tiffany with making a video over the break for the coming school year. He also tasks them with helping a new student settle in.}
“You asked to see us, Director Clavell?“ O’Hara asked as she, Aliquis, Hohma, and Tiffany trooped into the Director’s office. Director Clavell looked up from his desk, hands folded neatly in front of him with a warm smile on his face. “Ah, yes, thank you all for coming in so promptly -especially during your break. I know you students tend to scatter like the wind the moment the bell rings,” Clavell chuckled softly. “But I assure you, this matter is one of both importance and excitement.”
“Excitement? How?” Hohma echoed curiously. “I was just getting to that, Mr. Sullivan,” Director Clavell chided lightly. “Now, the reason I called you all here into my office is because I have here a small task for the four of you -one that I believe will showcase your unique talents and perhaps even help you all grow a little along the way,” he began. “Though perhaps ‘small’ is putting it lightly since it is technically two requests in one,” the Director went on. “For starters, the Academy is in need of a new promotional video for the upcoming school year, and I’ve chosen you four to create it!”
“E-Even me…? N-No, no gra-gracias…”
“But I have Band Club! A-And the concert…!”
“I’m busy with the school paper!”
“And I’m busy training for-!”
Clavell raised a hand. Everyone quieted down.
“I understand that you are all very busy with your own thing over the break but I’ve seen how you all are. You’re all uniquely talented in your own ways -yes, even you, Ms. De Chrystallas- and this will be an excellent opportunity to show prospective students the diverse voices here at Naranja Academy,” Director Clavell continued. Aliquis crossed his arms and gave a light scoff. “No offense, Director, but there are tons of other students staying over the break with better… personalities,” he gave Hohma a glance and though it wasn’t directed at her, Tiffany shrunk back.
“Hey! I’ll have you know that I have plenty of personality,” Hohma swatted at the older boy’s arm indignantly. Clavell chuckled, unbothered. “That is exactly my point, Aliquis. It is precisely the fact that the four of you represent different sides of our student body why I believe you are all capable of capturing the spirit of our beloved Naranja perfectly,”
”I guess that makes sense, but you said that there were technically two tasks. If us making the video is the first, then what’s the second?” Hohma pointed out.
Director Clavell gave a slight nod, reaching for a small folder on his desk and opening it with care. “Yes, thank you, Mr. Sullivan. The second task is just as important and dare I say even more so, depending on how you look at it.”
He turned the folder around so the four could glimpse the file inside -at the top was a photo of a girl with wild, windswept hair; a rumpled, dirty Altaria hoodie; and a wide, confident grin.
“This,” -Director Clavell tapped the photo- “is Ms. Wendolyn Cedar. She is a new student who will be joining us this summer session under rather… unique circumstances.
“She has spent most of her life homeschooled while accompanying her father on his travels. Given recent developments, she’s been temporarily entrusted to the care of a family friend but her father requested she be enrolled with us for the summer,”
The Director’s expression shifted slightly, though his tone remained steady. “However... Ms. Cedar is quite -how do I put this?” He paused then cleared his throat. “Shall we say, spirited, in her endeavors.”
The four in front of him exchanged puzzled glances.
“Sp-Spirited?” Tiffany repeated with a grimace, raising an eyebrow.
Clavell gave a slight smile. “Yes, Ms. Cedar, though undoubtedly a bright girl, has a tendency to get herself into mischief quite easily. She’s very independent and has a rather bold personality, which is why I’m asking for your help. I’m assigning you all to look after her, help her acclimate to life here, and make sure she’s well-settled during her time at Naranja.
“Think of it as mentorship or peer guidance. And who knows -perhaps she’ll bring something valuable to your project as well.” He leaned back in his chair. “So, what do you all say?”
Silence, then-
“So we’re essentially filmmakers and babysitters now?” Aliquis sighed, a scowl already on his face.
Clavell smiled mildly. “I would prefer for you to think of it as mentorship, Mr. De Chrystallas, rather than ‘babysitting’ as you put it,” Aliquis flushed slightly at the Director's words but nodded nonetheless. “Besides, it never hurts to broaden your horizons.” Clavell added “And as future leaders of tomorrow, I think you’ll find the experience more rewarding than you expect.”
