Textbooks: check. Notebooks: check. Pens...

Fitz turned around in a fury; his supplies weren't all there! But as he turned from his locker, he rammed right into someone, what was left of his materials falling to the ground.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!"

Fitz looked down on a girl who was nearly, but not quite a foot shorter than him.

"S-sorry," he said, resisting the urge to point out that she was technically the one who'd run into him.

The girl had tanner, white skin and messy, dirtyblonde hair that looked more gray, falling just past her shoulders. Her eyes seemed to be an odd mix of blue, green, brown and gray. She wore the required gold Level Seven uniform, but her family crest was one Fitz didn't recognize.

She held his gaze for a solid three seconds before Fitz leaned down to pick his books up. But before he could get to them, the girl snatched his notebook and pressed it into his chest. "Try not to drop your things again," she said, and Fitz could've sworn her eyes were twinkling. "You might not be so lucky next time. Someone could step on it!"

And then she walked away towards the staircase.

Fitz went to find a pen.
