"Did you miss me?
Come and kiss me.
Never mind my bruises,
Hug me, kiss me, suck my juices,
Squeezed from goblin fruits for you,
Goblin pulp and goblin dew.
Eat me, drink me, love me;
Make much of me:
For your sake I have braved the glen,
And had to do with goblin merchant men."


Syrra's nimble hand passed over the velvet bed cover, running over the seams which held the fragile silks together. Her soft eyelids opened, staring at the hazy ceiling whilst the world came into shape. She shifted herself out of the bed, her bare feet gliding across the stone tiles.
The room was quite clean, however, some clothes sat unfolded on a wooden chair. She dragged herself across to the chair, stripping off and changing into the typical black and green school robes.
Her pace was slow as she trudged into the bathroom. She washed her face quickly, and looked up into the mirror, watching the drops of transparent liquid roll off her soft cheeks back into the basin.

Breakfast.

A fair few thousand calories later, Syrra was looking. Looking at him. Pedro. Yes, or no?

Later, she was looking again. This time, at Tom. Yes, or no?

And again, she was looking. Dominic. Yes... or no?

And the last time. Austin. Yes... or... no?

So many. One Hallowe'en Ball. Which one?
It wasn't just the Ball that made Syrra indecisive. It was the fact that last time she had multiple lovers, the student body decided to annoy her. Torture her. Nasty names. Harlot Girl.
She couldn't face that again. No, she had to choose.
In her head, she lined them up.

In the middle of Charms, she had decided.

"Miss Heskarma!" She could hear the little squeaky voice of Professor Flitwick, "It is nice that you can do the charm correctly, but perhaps it would be nice to stop now?"
Syrra head slowly looked down to see the Doll, which she was practicing enlarging charms on, who now had an eye the size of a football.
With a quick wave of the wrist, the charm stopped.
She looked around the classroom to see the failing attempts over the other students.

First come, first serve.
