Do I look good?

"Yeah I had my fight yesterday. And no I'm not coming down with a fever." Zach also chuckled.

"Well don't stand at the door, come in." Aria invited him in.

Zach muttered, "Thanks." As he came in and sat on a chair.

Aria plopped cross-legged on the bed and said, "You had breakfast?"

Zach: "Yeah. I'm just coming from it."

Aria: "Where are Bella and the others?"

Zach: "Bella had something to do after breakfast. And the rest haven't had their fights yet."

Aria nodded and said, "Hey, would you mind if I brushed my hair? I just got up and haven't even had time to freshen up."

Zach got up and said, "You get dressed. I'll wait outside."

Aria nodded and Zach walked out. As Aria came out after five minutes, she saw Zach leaning beside her door, whistling.

She said, "Okay I'm ready. I assume breakfast will be over by now?"

Zach nodded, "Of course. Why are you up so late?"

Aria shrugged and changed the topic, "Learn any new moves from Professor Moon yesterday?"

Zach's eyes twinkled as he said, "As a matter of fact, that was why I came over. Professor Moon showed me a great blocking technique to use against the best of the bendors, and I wanted to try it out."

Aria: "Oh, so you wanted to spar today? I'm so sorry Zach..."

Before she finished, Zach cut in, "It's all right if you're busy. We'll do it some other day."

Aria did not want to disclose what she was doing. She clapped her hands and said, "I have an idea. You live in the East tower, right?"

Zach nodded, wondering where this was going.

"Keep the window open after evening and hang something if possible from it. I'll come if I have the time." Aria said.

Zach tilted his head in confusion, "What has your coming got to do with the window?"

Aria waved her hand, "Nothing. Come on, I have to run an errand. Are you going to watch the others' fights?"

Zach nodded and the two parted ways after saying goodbye and Aria reminding him to keep the window open.

After about half an hour, Aria strolled on the grounds towards the fights. She had been to meet Professor Samson and would have to start on the punishment after some time. She planned to pass the time by watching the fights.

With a sandwich in hand, Aria strolled to where Professor Iris was fighting, her long open hair falling below her hips and wearing a black and white striped sleeveless dress coming to her knees. As she passed, many eyes turned her way.

The students had always seen Aria wearing her uniform of shirt and pants and they were blinded by her beauty as she went up and greeted Helen and Jacob, the latter also looked taken aback.

Aria noticed Jacob staring at her and asked, "What? Doesn't it look good?"

Jacob snapped back and shook his head, "Good. Good. It looks good. I just..."

"Helen lent me the dress. She said doesn't like to wear it. Too wild." Aria answered his unasked question.

"By his reaction, seems like it goes perfectly with your wild personality." Helen chuckled.
