Welcome to Hickstead, home to both Seven Oak Stables, and Blue Acre - two rival stables. Both offer opportunities for their clients to reach the highest level of excellence. Each stable differs from the other, so choose wisely and never forget, loyalty is everything... Meanwhile as the stables battle it out, there's trouble brewing at the university. Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

Lucia Nyx Asteria. Used to fence, haven't in a while. Dancer. I hold a book club. I have a few friends, don't interact with strangers really. Most are regular friends, but my best friend is Maëlle. She's pretty much everything I'm not - smart, pretty, charming, attractive...
I think people avoid me. Probably for the best, honestly. At least they aren't making advances. When they were, at my old school, people were mad that I complained. What was I supposed to do? I'm not dating some random dude just because he likes me. I'm not dating any dudes.
It's pretty obvious that I'm single.
Anyway, fun fact: Hickstead does not, in fact, have an organ. I'm probably the only person here who's even aware of that. Actually, I have to go all the way to Willow Bridge to some obscure half-abandoned church to practice. I could start gathering money to build a house with an organ, but I'd die before I saw that come true. So that's that.
We were supposed to sit together at lunch this week, me and my friends. Of course, fate fucked us over yet again. None of us had any free moments together.
I ate alone.
I should probably talk about my friends.
There's Amaya, my twin. A menace to society with her stupidity. And the sole reason I'm not pursuing fencing as a career. Adelio. At least he's not acting out. I always feel bad swearing around him, he seems so very innocent. Stella. I'm constantly helping her with her work, but it's okay. She's very smart, though. I suspect she just doesn't bother with thinking herself. Ida. My sister seems to like her. Amber. The third responsible adult in this godforsaken group. Very efficient and capable. We work well together. Amias. He once tried to set me up on a blind date. I refused. He and I have very different tastes. Maëlle's here too, but I'm not repeating myself.
I don't know why I hang out with them, but here I am.
I got a dorm. I mean, I could ask my parents for money to buy or rent something (technically I have enough money myself) but I like to torture myself. Nice, huh? Don't know who I'm rooming with for now. Ida and Ami are also doing that. Not that it changes anything, though.
My schedule's pretty packed. I have dancing, organ practice, I play the lyre, schoolwork, helping my friends with schoolwork... it's a little annoying to see everyone else just slacking off. I'm 100% sure that Stella does little to nothing, Ida chills out in her room and everyone else parties... or something like that. Maybe Amber doesn't. We're quite alike, or I'd like to think that, at the very least. I don't party. Those places are full of creeps and thirsty college boys, and I don't want to fall victim to their flirting attempts. Or see them trying that with my friends. No, thank you.
My hand's getting tired, so I'm stopping this. Don't know if this'll even become some sort of habit. Might just forget this thing in the drawer it's locked into.
