Elbritas Kessinger

"You're not expelled but you're also not allowed to leave, not before we have a talk." He gestured to a chair, forcing him to sit down. "You're going to tell me why you're the way you are, Vlad. This isn't just a school it's a community, one that we all work hard to make sure everyone feels welcome. I understand that you're here to gain more power, but you also need to understand that means working with others, and working well I'm not going to force you to be happy-go-lucky or anything of the sort, but you DO need to at least keep your mouth shut when you want to insult people. I'm giving you advance warning, cause if me letting you two duke it out to the extremes seems bad, just wait until the headmasters catch wind of your attitude without me to distract them." He sighed and leaned forward in his own chair. He wasn't a fan of Vlad's current attitude, but people do as people do. You can't force anyone to change their ways without horrible torture and humiliation, but that's exactly why he was trying to get through to him NOW, rather than later when damage had irreparably done. "Can you please at least TRY to make some friends? I know you don't want to, but perhaps a friend or two might do you some good in the attitude department."

Vlad turned the chair so that the back support was in front of him, sat down on the chair and put his chin on his arms which were crossed on the support. He looked deep into mister K's eyes. It was true, this man was powerful, he could learn some tricks from him although he didn't really look that impressive. "I don't care about other students nor their feelings, I'm here to become stronger and I'll achieve anything for it" he said with a surprisingly calm tone. "If someone is strong and can provide me with more power I'll listen to him or her. If they are weak and slow my progress, what's the point of being around them huh?" he said while slowly standing up. He then pointed at the little girl while still staring dead eye into mister K's eyes. " I underestimated that pipsqueak, she's stronger than she looks like and she managed to give me this wound" pointing at his arm, "therefor I won't try to seek fights nor taunt her... but" He frowned and looked determined, "this doesn't mean I see her as a friend or even see her on friendly terms. She's simply another rival which I will crush eventually." And with that word he walked toward the door, holding his hand slightly up so they could see it. "Looks like the bell rang, I won't cause any trouble, I need to stay in this school after all." he said while walking away.

Eria A Gradous

When the bell signaled the end of the class Eria packed up her camera and grabbed her luggage from where she stored it, Master Kano had helped her obtain a slightly deeper understanding of the Aether that surrounds them. The way her own Aetheric particles were colored differently, a translucent gold, and the way her particles move the others around confirmed to both of them that she had a very deep connection to her element. As as packed up she created another palm-sized vortex of Aetheric particles from all around the area, not sticking with a single element. The vortex, although invisible to anyone other than Aetherist, did disturb the air around her but as soon as she put her necklace back on it grew slightly to encompass her whole hand. "Interesting..." Eria said to herself before moving the vortex and shaping it around her hand and arm in a sort of bracelet though it immediately dissipated.

Eria watched as Master Kano had disappeared into a poof of water that eventually evaporated into the earth. She exited the training room and made her way to the cafeteria where she collected her voucher for lunch. The massive variety of food was amazing but what caught her attention was that there was actual Italian cuisine which took up a nice sized section of wall. She hurried over to the counter and handed the person behind it her voucher before snatching up a Caprese salad that seemed just as fragrant and fresh as it was when she would make it at home.

After she obtained her meal Eria went to search for a seat but stopped dead in her tracks when she realized that there was nobody in the area that she knew. "Hmmm... I guess that it's the day of sitting alone" she said to herself as she sat at an empty table and began eating. As she ate she continued to train with her aether control by "stealing" a bit of aether from other sources.

Madison

"Uh...right." Vlad had woken up, and his terrible attitude was back, meaning additional unpleasantries were about to be exchanged. Unless Madison left the room, it was lunch time, after all. "Thanks, Mr Kessinger, for patching me up." She shot a dirty look at Vlad and without saying another word, left the room.

She headed towards the grand hall for lunch, along with a parade of other students from various classes. Madison tried her best not to get too close to anyone in order to avoid getting bumped into. Who knows how bad that would hurt. As she saw some of the kids on their phones, probably talking to their family, friends, or significant others, Madison realized she had left her bag back in Mr. Kessinger's office. She cursed under her breath, not because she missed her phone, but because Vlad might discreetly take something that didn't belong to him. The rational part of her knew that the likelihood of that happening was low, but her judgement was clouded at the moment.

[KuramaaaZ]

Before he could walk out, the midget passed him and scurried outside. Vlad just looked the other side "tsk". Vlad was a pretty tall young man, he was about 6'2 tall and was walking with a slightly arched back, shoulders sticking out and hands in pockets, giving him an intimidating look. He walked with a slow pace toward the big gate where the supposed lunch party was to be. It was filled with kids all around, annoying turds being in his way. The smells from around were making his stomach growl, it did indeed smell delicious. Also he didn't really eat anything since the morning, and that fight made him use some energy making him even more hungry.

"So... where's the russian corner?" Vlad thought while checking around, people were mostly going to places based on their home countries but there were many students trying different places as well. One of the smaller kids was in awe as he admired the whole place and was in Vlad's way. Without stopping, Vlad kicking him in the back, sending him flying aside. "Get off my way you bug" Vlad snarled at him while continuing walking. He still couldn't find the Russian corner and sort of gave it up for now and decided to go to the closest one to him, which was the Japanese one. He pushed the little kids that were in front of the waiting line and took some food that looked the most edible. The whole cafeteria was pretty much filled with people except for some loner turds here and there. He decided to sit on one of the tables that was only occupied by one person, some glass wearing nerd. He dropped on the chair and dropped his food plate in front of him, not paying attention to the person in front of him, acting as he didn't exist. Before starting to eat, wanting to see if he had new messages on his phone, he grasped for his bag and to his horror he realized it wasn't his, it was some girly handbag. Realizing he walked all the way till here with a girly handbag and it probably being hers, Vlad got furious throwing the bag on the ground next to him. "Godamn it!" he yelled, releasing some fire along his yell from his mouth.

[Dark Light]

As Madison stood patiently in the lunch line, distanced from anyone else, a boy rudely pushed in front of her stealing the small amount of personal space she had kept and her turn in the line!
He slowly spun around to see her, a wide smile on his recognisable playful face.
Clearly Kain's lesson had been physical, his cheeks were still lightly red and his face glistened from the sweat on his forehead.

"Hey, Madison right? How was your first class?"

Kain's playful smile began to fade as his eyes traced from one treated injury to the next like a dot-to-dot.

"What happened?" he asks with concern, lowering his voice.

The sound of a thundering engine quickly filled the courtyard, as a black motorcycle came racing into view. It came sailing through the gates, before screeching to a halt. A small figure hopped off the bike, carefully propping it up on its kickstand before reaching up to remove the helmet they were still wearing. Long, silken black hair tumbled free, and bright green eyes surveyed the school before them. After unzipping a leather motorcycle jacket, it became clear once and for all that this stranger was female.
"So this is the place, huh?" She mused to herself, taking in the scenery before her. "You would think they would have made the directions to get here a little more clear." Giving a small smile, she shifted the backpack on her back off of one shoulder, and stuffed her keys into a pocket. She already knew she was late, and from the apparent lack of adult presence in the courtyard, she had a chance to explore before they found her. Throwing a quick peace sign salute to the kids who had no doubt begun staring due to her entrance, she looked in a few directions and took off at a decent jog down one of the pathways.

More Courtyard

Avarius watched in anticipation as the giant ball floated through the air towards Emi. She was not positioned correctly to wear its full shadow. More so he was looking forward to see how well Brunhilde could 'read the air' when it was thrown back. These games while simple and fun would build the fundamentals and foundations of many greater and more advanced skills to come later on.
He couldn't be happier with the way things had fallen into place, these two would make for an excellent partnership.

Emi stood ready and threw the ball at the small girl, when she did she looked after it for a moment and closed her eyes just before Brundhilde catched it. She waited a while and clearly looked liked she didn't have any idea it had been throw yet. She was foccusing on the sound of the ball being thrown but clealy hadn't heard it. Just before it passed above her she felt that feeling again. A shadow close by. It looked like an empty bright white room with a faded black round shadow quickly comming closer towards her. She almost instantly threw her arms into the air to catch the ball from her relaxed position. She was close but it had bounched from her arm again.

"Uwaa waaa!"

She stretched out forward trying to catch the ball again still with her eyes closed. She was balancing on one leg and bounced it up a few times with her random swinging arms as she tried focusing again. Just when she was about to tip over she caught the ball and clutched it to her chest as she fell over and landed on her back as her eyes shot open.

"Oof!"

She wrote the answer on the ball and continued the exercise. It was a simple multiplying so she could handle it.

Brunhilde stifled a giggle at Emi's unscheduled collision with the ground, knowing full-well that she'd likely have to pay for it in the future. She closed her eyes as the instructions she wrote in her journal had instructed and waited for her partner to continue. The two passed the ball back and forth for some time, writing answers and oftentimes totally missing the ball. It was pretty low mass, so rather than shoving the air out of the way, it more walked on top of the air, which really threw Brunhilde off. About a quarter of the way through the exercise, Brunhilde felt something that wasn't the ball.

Brunhilde was momentarily distracted after feeling some faint tremors in the air, coming from the direction of one of the further buildings. She'd been feeling for the ball's presence and the unexpected vibrations distracted her a bit. It felt like a few bombs had just gone off, but it wasn't quite violent or loud enough to be an actual weapon. Maybe some of the other students had some something stupid. It was a violent feeling, though, and it worried her a bit. The tremors stopped shortly, though, and she decided to pay it no mind - though she did make a note in the journal reminding herself to constantly use her air sense in case something bad happened, spending a few extra seconds while she answered an easy question.

The bell signaling the lunch period rang out across the campus. Loudly. Brunhilde was focusing intensely on catching the beach ball when it happened, and yelped in surprise at both the sound of the bell and the beach ball bouncing off of her face. She scrambled to try to find the ball, wondering what the bell signified. The ball found her feet first, though, and she stumbled over it, just barely managing to save some tiny part of her dignity by grabbing it off the ground before falling over.

"The others have started lunch, I hope you are nearly complete." True enough they nearly were and Avarius was fully aware as he had been counting every throw. As the girls finished the last of the questions Avarius explained the location of the dormitories and the cafeteria.

"38" Avarius calls out as the last questioned is answered.
"Class will resume in 38 minutes, with or without you"
"Enjoy your lunch. You deserve it", he finished, waving the girls off to their first meal of the school year.

...

---

They were late for lunch by a few minutes. Brunhilde didn't particularly care, though, seeing as how she didn't realize it. As far as she knew, there hadn't even been a bell, and nothing about it was written in the journal. Avarius's mention of the dormitories was first and foremost on her mind, as she wasn't terribly hungry. A screwy sleep schedule, brain damage, and a weird eating schedule at home would throw anyone's appetite off until a solid schedule was built up.

"Oh, that's right. Completely forgot this was a boarding school. Hope I don't get saddled with a bad roommate..."

Preferably someone who's had experience with family or friends with severe memory loss, she thought. There were too many things resting on the requirement of either being alone or being with someone who could at the very least be taught how to deal with her in the case of something happening. The journal entry from four days prior mentioned that her family had faxed over the pertinent medical records, contact information, etc., so she didn't think that she had too much to worry about. If push came to shove, she could probably somehow force herself to deal with someone who at the very least never, ever interacted with her. But that sort of problem was at least twenty-five minutes off from being possible to deal with, and she made a note to check it all out. She turned towards Emi and offered her free hand.

"So, to the cafeteria then?"

Regardless of whether Emi accepted her hand, she wandered off towards the building Avarius had indicated.

Chen left the training area and headed over to the cafeteria, ready to eat some food and then get his roommate. His roommate would probably be super cool, maybe it would he one of those mysterious Darkness users. Those guys sounded super cool and edgy. Probably not though, they might get roomed with each other. Was the Academy fine with boys and girls rooming with each other? All good questions, which should be answered when he wasn't staring at a random wall in the middle of the cafeteria. Chen grabbed some sushi and udon, sitting down in a random nearby table with the girl from earlier.

Chen set down his plate and smiled. It's always good to meet new people."Hello there, I saw you were sitting by yourself and figured I should change that. Sitting by yourself is pretty lonely and sucks in general. I'm Chen, Chen Hyodo, nice to meet you!" With this statement he stuck out his hand for a handshake and smiled brightly, it was like he was glowing he was so happy.

Classed dragged on forever, and the water class had disregarded a traditional classroom and left the school buildings in favor of training in the fields. The earth students were in no harm, the air and light students reporting similar lack of injury. With nothing else to do with the remained of class time, Gus skipped out and made his way around the school. Classrooms, open courtyards, spiraling staircases, the whole damn place was a confusing puzzle in and of itself. Every teacher had a new part added onto the school and after a while it just became a jumble of memories and unused space. Though one room took his interest for more than a passing fancy.
Pushing open the door gently, Gus stared at the practically unused gym equipment. Specifically the heavy dumbbells. Organized and neatly placed from lightest to heaviest. The lack of something worth doing brought him into the room and closed the door behind him. Nobody would mind if he just killed some time in the training room, right?
Rather than bother with the core training machines or a traditional treadmill, Gus picked up a 70 pound dumbbell and found a comfortable seat on the bench. For the next hour or so he simply used a blood exercise to stimulate the muscles as he performed various exercises with the dumbbells in his hand. The bell for lunch rang at noon on the dot and Gus found himself hammering away at a punching bag, every meaty punch threatened to rip the bag from its chained supports but never gave way to the force of his aggression. Sweating profusely, arms sore, Gus grabbed a small towel and splashed some cold water on his face before focusing on his own body and willing the numbness in his muscles to fade to a tolerable degree. An advantage of his element was that after years of working with simple muscle work, Gus sported a powerful physique. Nigh incapable of tiring from simple exercises.

Gus hit the lights and felt his stomach growl as the door closed behind him. Lunch was indeed going to be interesting, considering he might run back into the kid he had punched. Some people really didn't like being struck.

"Oh well. I'll burn that bridge when I get there.." He sighed.

------------------------------

Gus entered the cafeteria and felt his knees weaken. How cruel the gods were, to give him but one voucher, and display the world before him on a golden platter. How could one person even decided where to begin?! Like a mad bull he took off running, his heavy boots accentuating his stride with equally heavy thuds.

"Oh, what first! Do I get something home cooked? I know! Seafood!" Gus' sheer bulk pushed other kids out of his path in the frenzy to satiate his hunger. Rudely shoving past the slower walking people with a mumbled apology as he followed the smell of shellfish to the eastern food. His eyes were bigger than his stomach when he caught sight of a man decapitating a fish on a bloody board, and resisted the urge to spill what was left of his breakfast on the ground.

"Maybe fish was a bad idea."

Enthusiasm burned out, Gus walked away from the scene of fresh fish and chose to enjoy soup instead. A rich broth of beef and chicken, served with fresh noodles and vegetables. The meal itself while not the most amazing of culinary innovation was still a high quality meal. Every bite was bursting with flavor and a rich harmonious taste. A simple carbonated beverage and some buttered toast was all he took to accompany his food.

Meal in hand, Gus took a seat near the entrance and simply enjoyed his meal. Uncaring that some of the other students, in standard teenager fashion, began insulting their heavier fellow student.

Students poured into the cafeteria, with the more daring students willing to try out foreign dishes with majority just eating what they knew. Luke was actually pretty glad that he got there early enough where there were free, open tables. However he also knew that with lack of tables, some students may just sit in the open seats that he has. He atleast hoped that they would be bearable and alright, not too loud.

That aside, the food was pretty good. It illicited the old, nostalgic feelings of home, where he would eat after a hard day of training, The quiet sizzle of the food made him smile ever so slightly as he placed the food in his mouth to begin chewing silently.

As expected, a rather gruff and tall student sat adjacent to him. Luke looked around once more and basically all the tables were occupied. The student didn't as much acknowledge him but it's not like he needs Luke's permission to sit in a public table, nor did he care that much. And as the silence between them grew, he was glad that he wasn't loud or anyth-

"Godamn it!"

Spoke a little bit too soon. Apparently he had grabbed a girl's backpack, obviously not his, not that Luke would judge him for that. He then rather violently chucked it to the floor. Now with fire practically coming out of his mouth Luke knew two things; he was a fire student, and that his fire will damn burn his food.

So with a slight movement of his fingertips he manipulated the student's water that was in his drinking cup and doused the flames being spewed out of the violent student's mouth, even thought he movement was minute the student could have probably noticed it. He threatened to burn Luke's food and he'd rather not have that happen. He also promptly got up and picked up the bag on the floor, dusting it off and setting it near his legs so that he could give it to whoever it belong to later. Sitting down once more he silently ate his food again.

[KuramaaaZ]

A sudden splash of water disrupted Vlad's thought process. His face was wet and around his neck as well. "What the?" he muttered confused. He noticed that the student if front of him, that nerdy guy with his stupid glasses, was moving his fingers in a weird manner. Also while he was disrupted he also managed to quickly snatch the bag away. Not that Vlad really cared about it, but the fact that he provoked him like this out of no where made him explode inside. This is the fucking second time already where they go for sneak attacks. Vlad slowly stood up, veins appearing on his forehead and neck. He had to restraint himself considerably to not just start shooting fire all around because of the amount of kids there were. He was an ass but not that kind of ass. He walked toward the guy and stopped inches away from him, where their noses could almost touch each other, and with a sharp voice, "If you want to die, do it outside where there's no children around" he said to him while staring him deep in the eyes. If stares could kill he'd be killed 100 times by now.

Emi

The bell of their break broke Brunhilde her concentration making the ball bounce against her face. When she wanted to pick it up again she tripped over the thing making it a bunch more awkward than it was already. Emi gave a short sigh and awkwardly smiled at her rubbing the back of her head in the meantime. Avarius waved them off to a long break as he left himself too. Brunhilde mentioned something about getting a bad roommate but Emi was a little confused to be honest.

"Didn't everyone have their own room? I don't know, haven't really payed too much attention to it. Well whatever, I don't think both of us are going to have a bad roommate anyway hehe."

Emi let out a sweet laugh and glanced around a little to orientate on which way to go to head towards the cafeteria. When she was about as orientated as she could be she glanced back at Brunhilde to get her and lead the way. But when she looked back at her she saw the small girl offer the tiniest of hand to her. Emi had a big smile on her face and kindly accepted the hand of Brunhilde. The girl asked her if she was ready to what she gave a bright nod.

"Shall I lead?"

After that they both headed off towards the cafeteria hand in hand which looked to be honest quite cute. They quickly arrived and were taken away by how tidy the cafeteria looked. It was neat and clean plus had some nice places to rest at like fountains that seemed to come almost directly from nature and nice heaters stoked with fire for cold nights and winters. Of course they also had open areas where you could enjoy the outside from inside the cafeteria. Her head turned as her nose moved on its own. It was directed at the food stand where thousands of smells filled the air. She was about to drift away following the smell flow of the food but could withstand for a moment.

"Ey ey Hill lets get some food shall we! Shall we!"

She was looking pretty excited for just some food and had small puppet like eyes with an innocent smile on her face clearly showing the girl she wanted to go as soon as possible.

Eria stopped mid-bite when the boy sat down at her table and introduced himself. She placed her fork back down on the plate and took a breath when the vortex of particles slowly dissipated until it was down to something that wouldn't require much attention to keep going. "Well it's nice to meet you Chen.... weren't you in Master Kano's class?" sh asked as her vortex took a bit of ice element particles from around Chen.

[Xandrya]

Madison

"Oh, hey Kain!" she gave him a half-hearted smile, glad she could interact with another student who wasn't so full of himself. "Yeah, about this... Apparently my teacher--Mr. Kessinger--says it happens to nearly every first year fire student. We don't get along with each other very well, although I'm willing to bet anything that Vlad doesn't get along with anyone. He's my classmate, and unfortunately the only other student in that class. We had a bit of a fallout, resulting in this, but it's nothing some ointment and time won't heal."

She stopped talking to place her order, roasted chicken with a side of garlic mashed potatoes.

"But enough about me, how has your first day been so far?"

As she turned to Kain, she looked past him when she noticed the familiar, tall redheaded student. Madison's smile dropped, and she whispered "he's here", not to Kain, but more as a sign of disbelief.

"What the?"

The red head said after being doused, who was now looking around for the perpetrator. As within expectations, the sharp eyed student noticed Luke's odd finger motions. Veins began to throb outwards as he made his mental march, practically stomping his way towards Luke and his food. He only stopped merely inches away from his face,

"If you want to die, do it outside where there's no children around"

With his deadpan and blank expression, his eyes switched between his food and the redhead. "I'd rather not die though." Luke said in jest, he remembered from his uncle not to stereotype students but this fire student was fitting it to the t. He was aggresive, loud and proud. Well it's not like Luke didn't expect him to not be angry, but comeon personal space.

"Ehh- I'd rather not do anything other than eat right now. So I'll apologize for that, but you were risking my foods wellbeing, in that you would burn it." Luke continued in his laziness, there was also no point in fighting, fighting with no cause is cumbersome. He'd much rather direct his energy towards his enemies.

"Also did you forget." Luke exclaimed, pointing at the second floor, "The teachers are watching us right now. So I don't wanna get into anything right now."

Now however, he could feel more stares coming from all over. With a sigh he inched away from the taller student and sat down, munching his sushi again.

[Azereiah]

Brunhilde

"Shall I lead?"

Brunhile nodded, but wasn't going to let her friend get ahead of her. She wanted to be up in front, too, despite that she couldn't remember the directions Avarius had given them. It was written in the journal, but she didn't like having to look at it for every single little thing - especially not while she was having fun.

"Ey ey Hill lets get some food shall we! Shall we!"

"Absolutely! Lunch time, here we come~!"

Brunhilde found herself skipping like a moron on the way to the cafeteria, not caring a single bit about how ridiculous she looked. What was the cafeteria like? What sort of food was there? Would she meet anyone new? All these questions and more floated into and out of her head, and came to a screeching halt when she noticed a second tiny figure dashing across the courtyard from the main gate. The other tiny girl didn't appear to know which way she was going. She called out to the other shorty, amplifying her voice a little bit by dumping a bit of her willpower into the air.

"Heey~! If you're new here, lunch has already started!"

She didn't know if the other not-quite-midget heard her or not, but it was of no consequence, and she merrily made her way to her intended destination with Emi. On arrival, the massive cafeteria absolutely floored her with how grandiose it was. It was like someone had put more money into this one building than had gone into her entire hometown, and her eyes widened a little bit with astonishment. She'd probably have the same reaction every time she went into the building, though, so she disregarded the thought and looked around. The smells of the cafeteria hit her before the view did, and she picked out at least twenty different styles of cooking - including, unfortunately, that of her own culture. She very nearly lost what appetite she had at the faintest hint of a smell. They had that crap here. She had to warn Emi.

"...They have lutefisk. Do not eat the lutefisk. I don't want to have to drag you to the infirmary."

A quick scan of the room revealed a lot of students, but there were a few who really stood out. Some sopping wet red-haired moron was shouting at someone else, a girl with a bandage on her arm was talking to some edgelord in a trench coat, and a very short boy in vaguely tribal clothing seemed to be engrossed in conversation with a rather stunning blonde girl. Out of everyone there, she felt the third pair would be the safest to talk to, since they didn't appear to be on the verge of murdering someone. But first things first - she needed food. She decided to get the same thing Emi was getting.

"I was in Mr. Hargor's class! He's really cool, he pretty much raised me for like, 9 years!" Chen smiled as he talked about Kano, he was so cool. "Oh, I don't think I caught your name. What was it?" He asked as he put his hand back down and continued to smile. He also made a note that it looked like she was focusing on something.

[KuramaaaZ]

@Inertia

The four-eyes was right. No matter how hard Vlad wanted to deny it, he couldn't commence another fight without big consequences. He put his hand on his chest where the fire dart has been earlier, it was still pretty painful, "that damn teacher is sure strong" he thought and for some reason that thought made him smirk, if people could be this strong here, this surely meant I will be too and will definitely surpass them. He couldn't fail, whatever happened he couldn't fail and needed to become stronger. He made a promise back then, and by becoming strong he will be able to save her, that's what his promise was to his dad.

Vlad looked at the guy again, but with a much less hostile look. "I.... guess you're right. But do this shit again and I'll definitely kill you, shithead" Vlad said in a calm tone now. He went back to his chair and sat down, but his food was half burned and completely wet. He gave the four-eyes a dirty look and pushed the plate toward him. "I'm going to get another one, also uh.." pointing at the bag, " that ugly thing belongs to that small bitch from my class, she's really small and has this big head. Her name is Madeline or Maddy or something, I couldn't care but yeah if you see someone like that, throw it at her, I don't even want to see that pipsqueak right now" and with a turn he walked toward the line again, pushing some of the kids away.

[Karo]

Rinna paused for a moment, as one girl called out to point out the direction of the cafeteria. A ponderous look crossed her face, as she contemplated following and meeting some of her new classmates. She had been planning to get a better view of the academy's layout from up high, but getting a read on who was who would be beneficial as well. And so would a cheeseburger, now that she thought about it. Her last meal had been a bag of mini donuts at the last gas station she had come across. So she turned and followed the two girls into the cafeteria.

And boy was it clean, weirdly so. It was absolutely unlike any cafeteria she had the unfortunate experience of being sequestered in during her life. Seeing some kid pushing his way to the front of the line, she couldn't help but give a little smirk. Some things never changed, no matter what the kind of school.

"Well, looks like the cheeseburger is going to have to wait." She brushed a hand against the pommel at her hip as she spoke to herself, more a gesture of luck than anything else. Antagonizing guys this much bigger than herself didn't always turn out as intended. She slipped through the crowd between them, smooth as silk, every step placing her exactly where she needed to be to not jostle the already irritated group of kids. Quietly, she got right up behind this lanky looking redhead, a wicked grin splitting her face almost from ear to ear. She glanced down for just a moment, to make sure she got her timing just right.

And there it was! Just as he stepped forward, she stomped down on the back of his heel, as hard as she could. It wouldn't cause anything more than a misstep, but boy, it was a great way to get attention.

"Oh gee, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to stop your path through all these other kids who have been waiting patiently to get their lunch." Still wearing that same cheeky grin, Rinna couldn't stop the sarcasm oozing from every syllable that came out of her mouth.
