(Hope he's okay, definitely open to critique)

Autumn wind rustled through the trees and Kai's hair as he shoved his hands into his coat pockets. The day was still warm; the sun shone brightly through the deep blue sky, warming the breeze, but the hint of coolness in the air reminded him that summer was over. He headed for his first class –an Honors class that he and his friends had enrolled in together. They were the only people in the class, which wasn't much of a surprise, since the Honors classes were so small.

He turned into the large Honors building, made of old cobblestone arches and heavy wooden doors, and headed into the classroom.

(Do we have something to call the school? Like…somethingy University or something?)

(hmm idk how about a flower? like Abelia University)

Autumn felt the other students staring at her as she made her way toward the Honors building. To them, she was 'the foster kid.' She was used to it though. She shot a glare at a group of older boys as they whispered to each other. At least she got to spend her first year at Abelia University with the few friends she had.

On the way to class, Basil stopped on the cobblestone path as the wind glided across him. Not wanting his hair to get messy this early in the day, he opened up his satchel and put on his ebony beret. Wind was always something welcoming as the seasons changed; it always lead the leaves to fall down from trees or make little blossoms sway from side to side. The leaves in Abelia have only just started descending to the ground. Ah, they look so pretty in early autumn.

His dark eyes caught a glimpse of a dark crimson leaf sitting next to his foot. Basil couldn't help but smile as he picked it up. Holding it by the petiole, he went back to walking over to his first class. Even with six hours of sleep, the young man couldn't help the huge gleam on his face. Who else gets to have a class with their good friends?

As he was approached the entrance of the Honors building, he quickly took off his beret and stuffed it inside his satchel. Then he tucked a notebook under his arm before going inside. Basil made sure his steps were quiet as he entered the classroom.

(Sorry I've been busy this weekend)

Kacey a cherry slushie in one hand and the other shoved inside his hoodie pocket, fidgeting with a loose thread. As he wandered around campus a buzz of his phone reminded him that he should make way towards his first class. As Kacey walked he watched the brightly coloured leaves fall gently from the trees. He was glad fall was starting, he'd never been a fan of the intense heat of the summer, the cool breeze that fall brought was much more refreshing.

Basil slowly opened the door, a part of him was being anxious as he didn't know who expect inside. The professor? All of his friends? No one? Despite having some sense of calmness, his mind went all over the place with guesses and possible outcomes. Oh well, it can be exciting to no matter what!

Actually getting the darn thing fully open, he took one step inside the classroom. Getting a first glance, it seemed plain yet comforting. His dark brown eyes took in each detail while scanning the room. The young fellow gasped with glee,"Kai!" Throwing his satchel and notebook on another seat, he ran over to give his friend a back hug. "Bonjour!", he hummed.

Kai had just finished withdrawing his leather-bound notebook from his backpack when Basil rushed in. Basil always lit up any room he entered, and the room that was once just a stuffy classroom with a few desks arranged in a circle was now a wonderful place to be. Kai matched Basil's smile with one of his own, returning the hug awkwardly. "Hey, Basil," he greeted, "how's it going?"

Just then, Autumn walked into the classroom, looking back out the door to shout at someone that their remark was wrong because 'the planet Vulcan is from Star Trek, and Darth Vader is from Star Wars'. She sat in her seat, giving Kai and Basil a small wave. "Hey guys."

"Morning Autumn," he said, raising a hand in greeting. He'd heard the last bit of her conversation and smirked at her nerd-like tendencies.

Basil couldn't help himself by holding the hug for a few seconds longer. He let Kai go then took a step back. "Everything is tremendous! We should all go to Romania someday, it's so beautiful!", he exulted before asking,"But more importantly, how are you?"

His head turned hearing the door open. The converse from outside left him raising an eyebrow, but he still nodded agreeing to whatever Autumn said. Basil couldn't help with a tiny giggle as he waved back. "Bonjour Autumn!"

"How've you guys been?" Autumn asked with a smile. "I haven't seen you two or the others for about a week." She pulled her books out of her bag, and set them on the desk.
