Reagan woke up early and quickly got dressed, before waking Astoria up,
"hurry up, and get dressed school starts soon."
Astoria lazily waved Reagan off saying that she'll get up in a moment. Reagan knew Astoria would fall back asleep instead of getting up so she pulled the covers off of Astoria, making her curl up in a ball and complain,
"Reagan, it's cold give me the covers back!"
When Reagan didn't give the covers back, Astoria quickly sat up and grabbed the covers from Reagan, then layed back down.
Reagan knew that Astoria had a stubborn streak but never expected it to appear out of nowhere, after all yesterday Astoria had no trouble getting up, but now she's suddenly being stubborn. Reagan racked her brains and decided to try one last time,
"Saint, please be reasonable and get up we have a trip today, so we absolutely can not be late."
Astoria rolled over and stared at Reagan like she was deep in thought,
"I'll only get up if you give me a hug"
Astoria's voice was smug and confident because she thought that if she asked, for something unreasonable Reagan would give up.
Reagan easily saw that Astoria was trying to get her to leave by asking something unreasonable but decided to play along for the fun of it, so she left the room. As Reagan left Astoria smiled then layed back down.
Reagan had just finished filling the bath tub with cold water than walked back to the bedroom, where she took off her uniform blazer and hung it on the back of a chair.
"Saint please sit up" her voice was soft and warm which thoroughly shocked Astoria.
When Astoria sat up Reagan walked over and leaned down giving Astoria a hug,
"W-w-what a-are y-you doing" Astoria stuttered as her face flushed red.
"Well you did say that, you'd only get up if I gave you a hug so I did"
As Reagan was speaking she scooped Astoria up and walked towards the bathroom.
"Hey where are you bringing me" Astoria asked.
Reagan ignored her and focused on not hitting anything while walking
"Reeaaaaggan" Astoria said in a whiny voice that made her sound like a spoiled child.
"answer meeeeeeeeeee"
As they entered the bathroom Astoria saw the tub filled with water and looked at Reagan questioningly. Before Astoria could ask why they were in the bathroom Reagan dropped her into the tub making her shriek and yell,
"ARE YOU INSANE!"
Astoria was now wide awake and fuming as she was still in her pajamas and now soaked in cold water,
"That was mean"
Astoria reached out and grabbed the collar of Reagan's shirt pulling Reagan towards her, Reagan tried to escape Astoria's grip, but Astoria tugged and pulled her into the tub.
----------------
Astoria was in a bad mood when they arrived at school. It had been a long morning full of unexpected surprises, such as being dumped into freezing cold water and having to skip breakfast because they were running late.
They quietly entered the the main hall where announcements are made. Reagan and Astoria stood at the back waiting for the principal to finish speaking.
"Today's field trip is going to be changed slightly, so that you can go and explore, while us teachers can assess your abilities."
The kids already looked bored but the principal continued speaking,
"We feel like there may be students who would do better in other classes, so to sum it up it's going to be a assignment or test if that makes things simpler"
Groans could be heard as kids started complaining.
"Quite down children, I understand that this may, make some of you upset, but this is going to be a survival test. It will take place in the Forest of Oddities and Normalitys"
The majority of the kids now looked frightened as this forest was known to be as one of the most dangerous places ever.
"Most of you children will be mandated to stay in the normal part of the forest. The more advanced groups will be headed to the odd part of the forest. The groups will now be officially announced!"
Reagan zoned it all out untill she heard her name,
"Group 27: Duke Blanc, Saint Astoria, Lyra Advin and, Astron Clearen"
Reagan had only heard of Lyra as she was part of her class and even managed to score higher on the entrance exam than her brother taking second place, Astoria seemed to know who Astron was, and Reagan guessed that was because they are in the same class.
"That's everyone" the headmaster said.
The headmaster started to walk down from the podium, but then remembered something and walked back to the podium.
"I forgot to mention that this test is going to be a week long, so you have two hours to get ready. Then you will be teleported to the Forest of Oddities and Normalities. Last thing, there is no need to find your teammates as you all will be teleported to the same place and meet the rest of your teammates then, please keep in mind that no two groups will be teleported to the same location."
After the head master finished speaking people started panicking and surged towards the exit to get ready.
