And she is back at the guest house. Tomorrow she'll be at the third school all day!

She sleeps very well that night, then is ready for the third school in the morning.

This school is Nice Playground School; apparently the campus used to be a grey school before it was converted into a rainbow one. The security perimeter inconveniences fewer neighbors since it's in a more rural area and uses more space as surrounding grounds. Here is her buddy for the day, Zada, a purple! "They were thinking they'd get you a blue buddy," Zada tells Bright when introducing herself, "but I said, no, she wants rainbow, it should be a really rainbow day! I'll do it! So you're with me!"

"That's really smart! It's nice to meet you!"

"It's nice to meet you too! We have assembly first, you might get introduced to everybody there."

"Okay!"

Zada conducts her to assembly, pointing out points of interest ("if you go up those stairs all the way they let out on the roof", "that's the locker room, are your clothes real or do you shapeshift them?", "there's the big indoor ball court, there are little ones on the fourth floor", "out that way and on the other side of the diamond field there's the woodshop building and the art building, they wrecked the smaller arcball field to put those up and some of the four year olds still remember when they were built").

She listens and makes mental notes of all these places.

(And her clothes vary on realness. Right now they're shapeshifted.)

And here is the assembly room! It's a big auditorium with a stage; bits of a set are pushed out of the way while an orange makes an announcement that they have a very special guest, would Bright Sorrow please stand up and wave and say hi?

She does so!

"Welcome!" everyone chirps, and then they are led in a rendition of the school song.

She listens to that. School songs are a little odd but she guesses they might be like mottos? 

The song bears some hallmarks of having been awkwardly edited when the school switched from grey to rainbow. The assembly then gives way to a five minute performance from a dance class and then they are released to their first classes of the day. "I have math first," Zada says.

"Alright. I'm maybe a bit behind grade level in math, but I'll try to pay attention."

"What parts are hard?" Zada asks, weaving through the crowd to get to her classroom.

"Keeping track of numbers in my head's hard in general." Plus she also lists the things she's behind on.

"You're allowed open notes for my math class, but I guess you don't have any notes. You can look at my notes."

"Okay, thanks!"

"You're welcome!"

They're doing pre-algebra. There are manipulatives available, with black shapes of various sizes standing in for unknowns.

She'll play with the shapes but pre-algebra is way over her head. 

That's okay, she is not required to demonstrate mastery of pre-algebra today.

Recess!

Recess!!!

What games are there to play here?

The playground is ENORMOUS. Kids scatter to hop on swings, spin the merry-go-round, and go down enormous slides. Some kids have brought skates or stilts. There's a giant plastic ball some kids know how to walk on and take turns with. There is a trampoline and a zipline and a trapeze.

This is SO MANY THINGS!

She will try all of them but be cautious of stuff that creaks under her weight. She is not at all cautious of falling off things, but she's also less vulnerable to injury than an Amentan kid, so.

Would she like to try JUMP ROPE?
