Saint Luma

Saint Luma is an old town, with old people, and old values.

The town prided itself in its community; the choir sang the same notes, the children walked the same paths, and the elders enforced the same morals...

But with new generations coming and going every few years, there are bound to be a couple... Rebels.

It was morning in Saint Luma, rays of sunshine leaked through the gaps between the silky maroon curtains and shined directly into Alcaeus' eyes. Groggy and recovering from the trauma of waking up, Alcaeus sat up and rubbed the sleep away from his eye, blinking a couple times to adjust to his bright environment. Once fully awake, the boy proceeded with his morning routine, almost mechanically, climbing out of bed, taking a warm shower, brushing his calico patterned hair—and the fur on his tail—, and putting on the most casual clothing he had in his closet; but today was different, today was terrifying. This privileged, coddled, sheltered teen is going to start his first day of junior year... In the local public school.

As punishment for almost repeating a grade last year, his parents pulled him out of his cushy private school, and enrolled him into Saint Luma Highschool to "expose him to the real world". It was a silly punishment, how much different could it be from his old school?

Morning time in Saint Luma! The smell of breakfast wafted through the air, and into Onyxe's bedroom. What a wonderful smell to wake up to!...If she had slept the night prior, but she didn't, but what a great smell regardless! Onyxe was too excited to sleep, how could anyone expect her to? She had to figure out what to wear, make new bracelets for new friends, decorate her notebooks, how could she possible sleep with all that on her plate?! Speaking of plates, breakfast! Of course, to start the day she needs a healthy breakfast. And a bath. But mostly breakfast...

Onyxe probably spent 3 hours—and a full can of hairspray—getting ready for the day, it's her first day of her junior year, she needs to be presentable, she needs to show people who she is, without being too obnoxious... As if. Obnoxious is good! The louder the better! Her outfit was looking amazing, the rainbow kandi cuffs matched her new striped stockings, and her hair has never had so much volume!... She's 100% going to get dresscoded, but that's why she always has a backup outfit! Gods she was so excited, and--crash! oops. Her tail knocked over her tower of soda cans. She should probably calm down.
