[Cal Emerson]

Cal was new at the Academy, yet he felt like this was already home. Being away from Sunyshore made him feel free and alive. A new start was exactly what he needed and he ready to start his new life. He didn't have any money, and desperately wanted the newest version of his favorite headphones. He had heard that the school gave out allowance and though he usually didn't like just getting money for no reason, he wasn't going to complain. He had learned to never beg or ask for money from people when he was younger, but if all the other students were getting it then he would as well.

When he approached the desk he opened his mouth to speak until he noticed something shiny. A swinging metronome sat upon the desk. The shiny metal ticker bouncing back and forth in perfect timing. Cal's light eyes innocently focused on it as he totally forgot about where he was. He probably was at this for a few minutes before he realized why he had come here in the first place. Cal was the type to lose attention and get distracted very easily. He could only imagine how it would be when he was in a class. He cleared his throat and finally focused on the task at hand. "Hey, I'm Cal Emerson. I heard I can get allowance here?"
