"Arnold, Ryan, Evan, Lionel, Tommy, and Samuel - glad you could make it to the lesson." He winked and chuckled. It wouldn't do him any good to address them by their real names just in case a psychopath witch showed up unannounced.
Anna - erm, Arnold - nodded back in the professor's direction, silently thanking him for holding this lesson. This was exciting! Hopefully no one - Wystan especially - would burst in at any given moment.

"That would be a no to call you by your real name, then," Cale said to Anna as Vindictus referred to the girls as boy names. "So...Arnold...your first mistake is the shoes," he said in a whisper with a chuckle, pointing at her Converse. "You got them too big. With Converse, you always need to get them a size or two smaller than normal--they run really weird," he informed her with a grin to let her know he was playing mocking her outfit and not being mean on purpose.
Anna giggled, amused by the fact that Cale had just addressed her as Arnold. "Yeah, I guess
Arnold it is," she replied, still laughing. The name was rather silly for Anna to get used to, but honestly, she didn't care if the professor addressed her as Arnold, Donald, Theodore...whatever...she was sitting in a class with Cale Newell and that was all that really mattered.
"My shoes?" Anna asked, looking down at those unusal star-shaped shoes she'd found. "Is that what these things are called? Converse? They look pretty cool, but...what on Earth is this star on there for? I've been trying to figure that out for hours!"
