[INDENT][color=0076a3]"[B]Glad to hear it.[/B]"[/color] Luke replied with a smile as he turned his face away to shove it full of pancake as he hunger encouraged him to consume the contents of his plate. Noticing the stack of pancakes on his plate had grown, Luke shrugged as he continued to eat switching from the the flat pastries to the mixed batch of fried potatoes, peppers and onions before finishing it off with bacon caramelized with the sweet sensation of maple syrup from Quebec. The school always made plenty of food for the students, apparently mutant abilities burned a lot of calories often keeping some of the students in a seemingly perpetual state of hunger. Unfortunately for Luke he was among them. 

[color=0076a3]"[B]So Sparks,[/B]"[/color] Luke began after dabbing off his mouth with a napkin. In front of Heidi he had to at least pretend to have some manner of decorum. "Are you excited to be returning to classes after a summer of nothing but leisure and relaxation?" Luke was going to miss swimming at Breakstone Lake as the weather got cooler. At least he and Heidi could still race the stable horses down Graymalkin Lane no matter the weather or season. [color=0076a3]"[B]Did you want to go for a ride after class today? Take the horses out to the lake, maybe watch the sunset?[/B]"[/color]

Nearly gagging on what was left of his food as Nathan kissed Hollie, Luke averted his gaze as he watched a pancake fly from the new kid's hand before it was intercepted by Allison. Luke couldn't help but feel disappointed that he had been robbed of the opportunity of seeing Darren get smacked in the face by a pancake.

[color=0076a3]"[B]Well that was just plain rude Allison,[/B]"[/color] Luke said with a smirk as the currently blue skinned teen sat back in his chair, arms stretching out behind his head towards the window as he soaked up the photons that warmed his skin. [color=0076a3]"[B]I was looking forward to seeing the aftermath of that pancake.[/B]"[/color]

The clatter of dishes being cleared took Luke's attention away from his classmates as some of the other students began to leave the table. Pulling out his phone, Luke thumbed the screen until he found the screen shot of his class schedule for the year. 
[color=0076a3]"[B]Looks like we have a Danger Room Session next.[/B]"[/color] Luke stated as he stretched before standing up. Gathering both his plates and Heidi's while she had turned her head away, Luke deposited them in the collection bin before catching up with Ryan and Heidi.

[color=0076a3]"[B]What do you think your 'Daddy' has planned for us today?[/B]"[/color] He asked Ryan with a slight smirk as he slung an arm around on both Heidi and Ryan, nearly hanging off the taller boy. [color=0076a3]"[B]You reckon we'll start off with a rousing game of capture the flag, I hear that's always a popular pick.[/B]"[/color][/INDENT]
