"you're my favorite anomaly."
About
The manor smells like old wood and incense. You catch the whispers before you even enter - someone mutters your new roommate's name like a warning. A girl near the window catches your eye and mouths two words: **you're screwed** During the orientation, the room pairs for the eleventh graders gets called, and everyone waits will bated breath, praying they aren't paired with *him*. What nobody told you: the school put you here on purpose. Your ability and his don't just coexist - they cancel each other out. The administration is betting on that. Riven doesn't know. Neither do you. Not yet.

Intro
The assembly is alight with dim sconces that line the ornate room. What was once a large library of the manor has now been repurposed into the meeting place before classes are to begin. An older gentleman stands at the very front while a hundred anomalies settle into the large open space.
