The next day, Rin woke up surprisingly fresh
until she rolled over and fell straight off the bed.
THUD!
Crowlius, perched on the windowsill, clapped his wings.
"Beautiful landing. Graceful. Like a falling potato."
Rin groaned. "I'm not even awake yet… can you NOT?
Confidence estimation is the process of run-time confidence assessment using statically extracted models and confidence Factors, supplemented by dynamically obtained information.
The Morning Disaster Routine
She rushed getting ready for her normal school.
The magical academy wasn't open yet today, so she had to attend her usual one.
She grabbed her toothbrush
Crowlius got a snack.
Rin put on her uniform
Crowlius put on a small hat that he definitely stole from somewhere.
The hair was tied by Rin
Crowlius attempted to tie his feathers together and failed dismally.
Crowlius followed her as she stomped toward the door.
"I'm coming with you!"
"No, you're not."
"Yes, I am."
"No."
"Yes."
"… Fine. But don't talk."
Crowlius puffed his chest.
"I will be silent like a ninja."
Ten seconds later, he yelled at a squirrel.
"Ninja mode activated HEY LOOK, A SQUIRREL!"
Rin facepalmed.

???? Back to Normal School… Or Maybe Not
The moment Rin entered the school gate, chaos turned on like a spell.
Her friend, Alina, waved dramatically.
"Rin! You're looking alive today! Yesterday you looked like overcooked noodles.
Rin sighed. "Thanks… I guess?"
Her other friend, Jaden, squinted at her.
"You look suspiciously happy. Did you win the lottery?"
Crowlius, an' her shoulder:
"She got sweets"
Rin elbowed him.
"SHHH!"
Alina gasped. "Your backpack just TALKED."
Rin panicked. "N-no it didn't! That was… uh… stomach noises?
Crowlius: "Your stomach sounds very handsome then."
She shoved him deeper into the bag.

???? The Classroom Chaos
The moment she entered the classroom…
Her teacher dropped a book, a chalk, and almost his dignity.
"Rin! You're early? Are you feeling sick?"
"Why is that everyone's first guess?" muttered Rin.
Jaden snickered.
"You really shocked him. Last week you came so late, even the day was almost over."
Rin sat down.
Crowlius looked out of the bag and whispered loudly
too loudly
"I DON'T LIKE THIS SCHOOL."
The entire class looked around.
"Who said that?"
Rin froze.
Alina whispered, "Is your bag possessed?"
Crowlius whispered, "Maybe."
Rin slammed the bag shut.

???? The Test That Wasn't a Test
Teacher: "Surprise quiz, everybody."
Rin: screaming internally
Crowlius: muffled screaming inside the bag
She opened her paper.
Question 1: What is the formula for concentration?
Crowlius whispered, "Eat sweets and focus."
Rin scribbled the real answer.
Then halfway through the quiz…
Crowlius poked his head out and dropped a feather onto Jaden's desk.
Jaden jumped. "WHAT THE—??"
Teacher looked up.
"Everything alright there?"
Jaden pointed at the bag.
"T-that thing moved!"
Teacher frowned.
Rin laughed nervously.
"Uh… wind? Teacher: "We're inside a classroom, Rin." Rin: "Magic?" Teacher sighed. "Just finish your test." Crowlius: "He believed that?? --- Misery at Lunchtime At lunch, Rin had her usual plain food, eaten while staring dramatically at the sky. "I miss Rowan's cake…" Crowlius drooped his wings. "I miss it, too… especially the free ones." Jaden and Alina stared. "Did she just talk to her backpack again?" Rin: "NO." Backpack: "YES." --- After School ???? School was finally over. Rin sprinted home faster than Crowlius could complain. Alina called out behind her, "BYE RIN! BYE RIN'S POSSIBLE DEMON BAG!" Crowlius shouted back, "I AM NOT A DEMON! I AM HANDSOME!" Rin dragged him away. "You are never coming to normal school again." Crowlius puffed up. "We'll see." Rin sighed. Another day of chaos survived. Barely.
