Also, Calliope decided to inform me that she does not in fact have black hair. She dyed it bright indigo.

Oh boy, the fantasy characters are going to be confused XD

Okay, here we go!

Ophelia

Whoever said that you couldn’t sing classical music had been lying. Had anyone ever said that? I didn’t have time to think about it, I was too busy trying to sing all the parts to something by Tchaikovsky that I forgot the name of. It was the one with that interesting part in the middle. The lack of words was unfortunate but it would never be enough to stop me.

I hurried down the alley, a shortcut to the campus. Wasn’t it? Well, I’d find out. It was rather dim but I didn’t particularly care, as I was just getting to the fun part. Were people staring at me? What if I met someone I knew? That put a damper on my enthusiasm, so I lowered my volume from top-of-my-lungs to enthusiastic-humming.

I skipped onward, too wrapped up in my own personal concert to pay much attention to anyone else.

I hadn’t thought it was already this dark.

An unsettling feeling started to rise up in me. I spun in a circle to get rid of it, forcing myself to keep humming.

I ran into someone’s back so hard that I slipped and fell back, while he stumbled forward.

I sprawled backward, landing squarely on my rear in the most ungraceful way. Something stung my hands. Had I landed on something sharp?

The man stared down at me. He had dark hair, dark eyes, and a dark expression. My heart started beating faster. This was not where I was supposed to be.

I smiled brightly.

“Hello! I didn’t see you, I’m so sorry.”

He instantly went from looking annoyed to looking confused. I scrambled up, and smiled again.

“I’m Ophelia Schwann, I think I’ve gotten lost. Do you know the way to the college?”

I instantly bit my tongue, realizing that giving this stranger my full name might not have been the brightest idea I ever had.

The stranger stared at me as though I was speaking another language. Which I wasn’t. I was pretty sure.

I smiled again to cover up my uncertainty.
