There were numerous excusable reasons why somebody would be late to class. Sick, Injured, unexpected villain situation on the way to school.. but this morning, Tula had the absolute inexcusable excuse as to why she was late. She slept past her alarm.

[color=00aeef]"[i]Ugh[/i] I'm late! So very late!"[/color] Tula muttered as she scurried across campus after having just arrived. If she was ever going to make her case for being Class Rep, this was definitely not the way to go about it and failure here was not an option. Her parents were both class reps and they were expecting their daughter to be one, too. There would have to be some later political schmoozing on her part with some of her classmates in order to better make her case that she is [i]the[/i] candidate to represent them. 

Tula must have been only a few minutes late by the time she reached the classroom but her heart dropped the moment she peaked inside, not seeing a soul present. Her hand immediately went up and smacked her forehead, sighing in slight frustration. They had already left for the practice field. Her absence was likely noted already. Now, she was definitely playing from behind. 

There was no time to spare, especially if they were going to start the Quirk assessment test soon. She tossed her bag into the room and kicked off her shoes, wiggling her webbed toes as they got a chance to breath. She turned and closed the door, stretching out in a position like riding an imaginary surf board. Then suddenly, water blasted out from elbows, tibia region, and back propelling her forward as she used a slower release of water under her feet to hydroplane across the ground. The result was she was much faster than if she were to sprint.

She was quick to catch up with her classmates, adding a stylized flourish when she was close enough to the back of the group by spinning once to a satisfying stop. Her maneuver was so smooth but there was a chance nobody noticed it aside from a nervous looking white-haired kid hovering around the back of the group. In fact, he was likely in the splash zone a bit. [color=00aeef]"Whew. Just made it.[/color] Tula said to herself, but it was meant for the kid to hear. She caught up and walked alongside the kid, leaning slightly next to him, [color=00aeef]"Hey, don't tell anyone I'm this late. It'll be our little secret, okay?"[/color] she whispered with a friendly wink. 

Tula returned to normal posture, walking alongside the kid for a moment before trying to strike up more of a conversation. [color=00aeef]"So do you think you are ready for these tests? I already know what to expect so I think I'll do well in all these tests."[/color] She sounded confident but darted a quick glance to the kid and remembered her audience. [color=00aeef]"I'm sure you'll do well, too. I'm Tula, by the way."[/color] She'd offer a handshake but usually people didn't appreciate a getting their hand all wet.
