Today's Horoscope (Virgo): Things are heating up. Try not to lose your cool.

Morning

It's hot...

The thermostat is broken in my third period class, so the teacher decides to move class to the library. Then she decides to turn it into study hall and lets us do whatever until the bell.

Juan is fixing a hinge on the librarian's office door. He finishes up just as the bell signaling morning break rings. I'm almost to the door when he spots me and waves me over.

"Long time no see," he says with a toothy grin. "Some weather we're having, huh?"

"Yeah."

"Not the kind of weather you'd want to go for a country drive in," he says. "Or is it?" He shakes his head. "I wonder if we might be in for the hottest summer on record." He glances at me, cocking his head slightly. "Speaking of summer, rumor has it you're sticking around Canterlot after all."

"How do you know about that?"

Juan shrugs. "I hear things. After all, Celestia and Luna were there for that big confrontation with your parents." He chuckles. "Kids these days really do have the strangest family problems..."

"I'm gonna go now—"

"I hear Applejack and Rarity's little sisters are living at your dorm now," Juan says. "Are they enjoying Canterbook?"

"They seem to be."

"Good...I wasn't sure it was wise to include the junior high in the network. Not with how cruel kids can be and the poor judgment they exercise at times..." Juan cracks his back. "Well, time for my break. Stay cool!"

Rank UP! Devil Rank 9

The Odd Janitor Social Link of the Devil Arcana has reached rank 9!

Your power to create Personas of the Devil Arcana has grown!

Juan shuffles off. I shake my head and head for the vending machine to get a soda.

After School

It's too hot to do anything...

I head back to the dorm as quickly as I can.

Evening

The humidity that sets in late in the afternoon only makes things worse...

Everyone is half-naked and sweaty this evening. It's so hot and miserable I can't even enjoy a sight that would ordinarily send me running for a box of kleenex...

I decide to spend the evening watching TV in my room, wrapped in a big fluffy beach towel to soak up the sweat and nursing a cold 2-liter soda.
