The girl stays silent as she's spoken to, trying desperately to find something to say back before things got awkward. Seeing how the guy was almost big enough to step on her didn't help her with her courage either. Staying turned away slightly, she glanced up at the gaming club booth before returning her gaze to Donovan's feet. With a deep breath, she forces the courage to speak to the surface of her being, and finally speaks audibly.

"... It's... fun. I use games to pass time a lot... I was going to join too, but..." Liz trails off, not wanting to embarrass herself further by saying that she was afraid to talk to the club representative.

Upon seeing Avery's student id card and hearing that she was actually seventeen, the other girl's air of friendly exuberance seemed to wilt a little bit, the girl apologizing softly for the mistake. The way she seemed to withdraw made Avery wonder if she had been a little too harsh in clearing up the situation, a twinge of guilt over ruing the other girl's mood tugging on her. Of course, she hadn't meant to come across as angry or mean-spirited, though she did know that the frustration that came with being mistaken for a toddler time after time could bubble up on her without her realizing it at the time.

Once her father had departed, she acted on the prompting of her guilty conscience and said, “Y-You're fine. S-Sorry if I-I sounded angry. I-It's just r-really frustrating is all,” a slight blush on her cheeks. She wasn't really comfortable expounding any further than that. That would just lead to a whole lot of awkwardness that she certainly didn't feel comfortable dealing with at the moment, though she didn't really think that she had a ton of embarrassing secrets or anything like that.

Her question about clubs seemed to be successful in changing the subject and continuing the conversation, though it didn't seem like it at first due to the fact that the girl decided to pull out her own student id card and give her own name, Kacela, as an introduction. Smiling sheepishly at the irony behind Kacela using her id card like Avery had, Avery listened as Kacela explained that she hadn't signed up for any clubs yet.

“I h-have actually; Art Club and the Outdoors C-Club,” Avery answered, a little excited about the clubs she had signed up for and what they would entail throughout the year. “I-I only chose t-two for right now because I didn't w-want to be juggling too m-many activities at once.” Multi-tasking had never been one of her strong suits after all.

Personally, Avery found it a little hard to understand that Kacela wouldn't have any interest in clubs, but she decided that it wasn't all that important. “I c-could explore with you,” Avery suggested, her enjoyment of the company of others crowding out her worries about being found out as a freak of nature that should be on a dissecting table in a government lab somewhere far, far away.

Donovan waited for a reply not feeling in any rush while he moved his gaze away to the booth once again wondering how to make it less of a task signing up for the club. He did however listen once the girl spoke up which gave him an idea as to what he could do to help if anything and it would be a painless for either of them. In the middle of the thought he realized how long he hadn't said anything, probably longer than the gap before it, so he decided to try his luck with the plan. He also thought joining himself couldn't hurt if he got to do something mostly new to him.

"If you want I could keep the desk person's attention and you could sign up without having to deal with them if you want," Donovan said more or less knowing it could get annoying talking to the person when you weren't feeling up to it, "Might join to if anything just to keep them busy."

"Your choice really, I don't mind either way." He continued after a moment trying to take as much pressure off her as possible.

Agnes had heard the announcement. She had spent a lot of time going over ever possible scenario in her head, if she were to go. What if someone tried to speak to her? She didn't even want to be in a club, not if it meant she had to be around people. But there could be something quiet, where she could do stuff. And mother would be proud, she probably wouldn't lecture for weeks. Maybe. Yes. Okay.

Agnes left the room, closing the door behind her and slipping the key into her bag. She walked quickly to the hall, but hesitated before entering. She could hear the rumble of voices, how many people could be in there? It was a scary prospect. She swallowed hard and entered, promising herself she'd be brave.

There were different stands for different clubs. She studied them all but couldn't bring herself to move from her spot. Brave. She had to be brave here. Art club. She liked art. She could do art.

She slowly approached the stand where there was a club representative. Okay, it wasn't that difficult. She had all the words in her head. She could just say it. Ask about the club. Be charming. Be sweet. Be anything. The woman turned to her.

"Hi there!" she grinned.

Agnes opened her mouth but nothing came out. It felt dry. "...s-sorry. I... want to sign up?"

The woman started talking about the club. Agnes tried to concentrate but her head was pounding. She was really embarrassed. The woman handed a clipboard to her.

"Just write your name." she smiled. Agnes nodded. Her handwriting was small and cursive. She normally took time with it, but she wanted to get away quickly. Once it was over she walked away, fast.

'Be more confident', her mother had said. And she had.

The 'Club' set up was normal enough. A bunch of tables around the edge of the room, all trying to get more people to come to their group so they could get more funding.

"Interested in being a pro gamer?" "Do you like to draw or paint?" "What do you think about robots?" Everyone was trying to get him to come to their table.

Eventually, he found his way to the sports booth. "You do any martial arts-y...things?" He asked. "Or...maybe Parkour?" Hardcore parkour. Something he always meant to try, but never really had the time or insanity for. The guy at the booth nodded, so Matt shrugged, and murmured "Sign me up." He handed over his ID card. Everything else he could just steal from other people if he ever felt like it. Or not, if he was following the Code. Maybe he'd join more later if the muse struck him.

A new image caught his attention. A tiny girl and a giant one, talking. Maybe he'd just sidle in and say hello, like his mom always told him not to do. Forget that, though, he was an adult. He had to interact with people, make new friends, build up allies. So, he did the normal thing and stared at the little girl for a few seconds, then at the tall one, then back to the small one. Someone was sleeping in the corner, he'd seen them when he walked in. Sleeping people always worked the best for him, because he could pretty much leech anything from them. In this case, it was vision. Bam, zoomed in on the little kid. Oh, not a little kid! Crisis averted. With his doubly-enhanced vision, Matt could see her student ID.

After a long time of doing nothing, he walked over. "Hello" was all he said, until he frantically realized he needed to say more. "Uh, hi. I'm Matt. Mmmmm...so what are you two interested in?" It was the most mortifying entrance of his entire year.

Growing a tad bit flustered, Liz's ears grow red as she shakes her head from under her hood, before stuttering out "N-No! I... I can do it... Just... gimme a sec."

Liz takes a deep breath, heaving her chest and puffing it out slightly, as if to make herself feel stronger. Turning towards the booth, she opens her mouth, shivering slightly... And simply stands there, staring up at the man behind it. She made a few 'squeaking' sounds, as if she tried to force words out of her mouth, but her fear of making a fool out of herself prevented her from voicing herself. Turning away, she takes a few steps back and turns to Donovan, letting out the breath she took in a long, drawn out sigh. Her fear of making an idiot of herself seemed to have made that fear come true. Swallowing nervously, the girl peeks up through her hair and once more tries her best to talk to the intimidating but kind stranger.

"U-Um... Could you... h-help? Please?"

Donovan was glad to see an attempt at pushing through whatever mixture of things kept the girl from joining, it was kind of what he had been hoping for. He watched from where he was before there was any decision to move up to the desk himself for the moment. If anything he felt good about his helping someone who looked like they needed it and maybe he wasn't the best person for it but he would do what he knew was right. Unfortunately he noticed the freeze up at the desk which concerned him a bit but no need to get discouraged by it everyone has faults himself included. When the girl did make her way back over and asked for his help there was no other choice in the matter for him because he intended to finish what he started.

"No problem." Donovan said keeping his tone friendly as ever walking up to the desk alongside the girl this time.

"Hey man, we'd both like to sign up." Donovan said taking the receptionist's attention upon himself for the moment.

"Sure the list is right here," The man said handing the sheet to Donovan who signed quickly handing it to his companion, "So you two twins or something?" The receptionist giving a bit of a chuckle because both of the students looked similar.

"Only in clothing my friend." Donovan replied keeping a half-hearted tone as he said it not entirely finding the joke amusing but rolling with the jab.

Once the girl was done signing he would leave the stand with her but until then he kept the man behind the desk talking, there were many bad jokes thrown because of it.

Paris silently followed the two. He'd never really honestly wanted a car till now. He'd never asked for one nor did he have any real interest in them. To him, a car was a car. Though... he chuckled a bit. It would be interesting to have a Beetle Bug. Those cars had always interested him. They were... cute. He shook his head and focused on the conversation currently going on. So... Lulu was trained... MCMAP? With the way he looked on the subject and how quickly he changed subject, Paris' only thought was not to ask. He wanted to know but if it made the guy this uncomfortable, he'd rather not. It wasn't in his nature to make people uncomfortable.

Paris smiled and walked over to Lucius, slinging his arm over him. "Sounds like a plan, Lulu." He said, grinning, trying to help move the conversation in another direction. "Man, I hope the Gardening Club booth is still up. I'd beat myself up if I missed the chance to join." He rambled, a crease growing between his brows. He really was worried that he wouldn't be able to join if he didn't get to it now. Though, the club might not even have that many members... "What're you guys going to join? Maybe we could... join one together?" He asked, pulling his arm away from Lucius' shoulder as they neared the car.

Marc got excited, MCMAP, was DEFINATELY awesome. Lucius sounded like a guys who'd be fun to go against in the ring, to test his abilities against. A challenge. Marc turned to Lucius and grinned.
"I know I'm joining the martial arts team, and you know, you should to Lucius! Someone who does that would be quite the asset! And an excellent sparring partner!"
He turned to Paris, " If they have stone gardening I'd join, I enjoy the peace that comes with it!"
Marc popped the Impala's trunk, and pulled out a water bottle from a small cooler and took a light sip of it, enjoying the coolness that it relieved from the heat of the day. He looked up and gestured to the both of them to take one if they wanted. Then, he sat in his car and fever the motor, and said, "Anybody care for some music?"

Paris chuckled at Marc's enthusiasm. It was honestly refreshing. He smiled and nodded at his comment about stone gardening. "I'm not exactly sure. If not, I'm sure you could convince them to start one up. I personally prefer plants myself. I've got a thing for living creature whether they can bark or talk or chirp. Call me strange but yeah..." He told them, trailing off. He shook his head at Marc's offer of water, pointing to the bottle Lulu had already offered him before.

With that, he jumped into the backseat, allowing Lulu the passenger side. He didn't want to be rude, after all. He buckled up and looked over at Marc at his question of music. "I don't mind. You'll have to ask Lulu." He responded, flashing Marc a smile. This was refreshing. He felt as though he had friends. It wasn't like he'd ever had problems making friends, it was just keeping them that was hard. Once they found him out, he was suddenly the freak, the one that didn't belong. Well... He'd just have to wait and see if everything went well.

Lucius raised an eyebrow when Paris called him.. Lulu. Well that was a first time he had a nickname other than D or Delta. Still only his mom called him that, so this was a nice change. Though it sounded more like a female’s nickname/name, still it wasn’t bad. Well, that is a first someone called me that. He chuckled slightly. Not that I mind or anything. Lu smiled. Well for clubs I thought the Art club, maybe Game club if they have one. Both kind of interest me. Though I didn’t think about the Gardening or MA club. He sighed inwardly. Not that I’d want to train more than I have. Well more like I prefer doing the routine my mom hammered into me, a club might be fun but I don’t want to compete with anyone, I didn’t learn it for that.

After Paris sat in the back, Lu sat in the drivers’ seat holding his violin case so it wouldn’t be a problem. Well I don’t mind music, so go right ahead. He smiled and thought a bit. Well if both of you seem interested in a Gardening club, then if they don’t have one I wouldn’t mind helping with that. Well that and joining for a few runs if you two feel like it from time to time. He chuckled a bit, smiling warmly. Well it seems this place might be a bit better than I thought it would be. Seems making friends is easier than I thought if people don’t know too much of your past. Lu nodded seeming le to himself a shadow passing over his face as he recalled some things from the past.

Marc flexed his shoulders and turned to the classical music channel on the radio, the music floating Ito his ears, allowing him to cool down from his exciting run. Ed honestly been hoping for a different answer from Lucius, but figured based on how he spoke about it, it was something g he didn't want to parade around. Well, maybe some other time. Hell maybe we could spar in private, he thought.
"So Lucius, if you don't want to do the MA club, would you at least care to spar with me sometime? I'm always on the lookout for fresh opponents" he said with a smile.

Lucius Just shrugged at Marc’s suggestion. Well might consider it sometime. He just scratched his chin. Well, I’ll think about it. Don’t get your hopes up though… I don’t really know how to take it easy… Let’s just drop it for now. I’ll consider it in the future. Is al I will say. Lu wasn’t joking, he was pretty advanced in MCMAP because training with his mom was… hellish to say the least. He shuddered a bit after remembering times she went overboard, but just shook his head to get the image out of his mind. Lu turned to Paris. Kind of curious why’d you decide to call me Lulu? Not that I mind but still, not really used to having nicknames. He added quietly. Since I had no one to give me one before. He smirked a bit bitterly.

"What does the mirror really reflect?"

Eva's fingers tangled themselves into the hem of her shirt as she bit her lip nervously. She could feel her face flush even more, and she gave another mental groan. Desperate for a way out of this embarrassing blush, Eva pressed her fingers against the skin of her stomach and used her psychometric ability to dig into her body's inner workings and her brain. How to get rid of a blush... Hmm... Somewhere deep in her brain, she recalled that inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding her breath would expel a blush.

So she started to do just that, her blush eventually fading away as she did so. However, before she could remove her fingers from her skin, an overload of information forced their way to her head. How many heartbeats per minute, the fact that her stomach was a little empty because she didn't have enough breakfast, the tag of her shirt was sticking out, she had 30 more strands of split ends in her hair, her breathing rate was becoming a little shallow, her phone has no new messages, her sock was a few strands away from getting a hole, her shoelaces were tied a little bit too tightly to be comfortable...

Too much. Way, way, way too much.

Eva couldn't focus on what AJ was even saying anymore, the world in front of her way swaying just a little. Information continued pouring into her brain even after her hand fell away from her stomach, all the excess, unnecessary information rushing at her. Eva's vision darkened a little as she stumbled backwards into the tree she was leaning against earlier.

No. Not here, not now. She could feel a fainting spell coming up, and she couldn't do this, not in front of someone she just met, not on her first day at this school.

Dammit.

A.J. watched the girl in front, he couldn't help but think she was cute as he had to put on his most charming little smirk watching her blush. He, liked how easy it was to get her all flustered as he laughed a little, very different the girls he is used to. "wow, i don't think I'v ever seen anybody get so red" he said looking at her as she seemed to focus on her breathing, that red fading "really it's alright, I'll lay off and let you relax" he said rubbing the back of his head. He figured he might of been coming on a bit to strong, though he didn't think he was really coming on to strong personally. He watched as she was holding her stomach and breathing to as all that red started to leave her face.

"feeling a bit better?" he asked her reaching down to lift her face up, though he did it was as if she wasn't there, withdrawn completely into her self as he noticed that to much color was leaving her face. "hey, what's wrong?" he asked moveing his hand down to her shoulder as she looked like a shock victim. "hey stay with me," he said reaching up snapping his fingers to try to get her attention, like keeping some one entering shock to stay awake, before see seemed to fall back. He caught her and laid her down reach for her neck he checked her pulse, looking at his watch. He new a little medical skills, just things his father taught him in case of a wreck during a group ride. He couldn't get all the technical stuff but her pulse seem to be still be strong as he noted that she just feinted. He took off his coat, rolling it up and putting it under her head to support it and open up her air ways. "man this just isn't exactly how Imagined my first day...I was thinking more drunk fest and maybe get in a fight with some cocky frat boy" he said leaning back looking over the girl before pulling his knees up and fiddling with his camera playing with the different settings.

Paris chuckled at Lulu's response. "Well, the way I see it. You're name is cool and all, but kind of hard to say. So, Lulu's easier. Plus, Lulu just sounds more personal, friendly, you know? Though, you can't really do that with my name. I mean, Papa? Or ParPar? Yeah, no. I don't know. I just... like it?" He explained, shrugging his shoulders, his cheeks flushing a bit red. He wasn't flirting with Lulu, he just felt embarrassed at sounding so... feminine? So what if he liked girly things. He was allowed wasn't he? He put out his hand, letting it rest on Lulu's shoulder. "Well, you can count on me to be that one annoying friend, that I assure you." He told Lulu, smiling at him brightly. "Eventually, I'll come up with a nickname for Marc here too. How about... Macho?" Paris exclaimed, chuckling, the redness already faded.

"So, Marc, you like classical? I really wouldn't have pegged you for the type." He chatted, wanting the positive air to stay. It was good being around people and maybe for this one time, when he was with them, he could feel normal. Maybe...

Before Kacela was able to respond to her question, a guy with dark hair and blue eyes walked over to them and said hello before introducing himself as Matt. Like virtually everyone else over the age of seven, he was taller than Avery, though not quite as tall as Kacela. Surprisingly enough, the first question he asked didn't somehow involve her size or age. A little dumbfounded, though skeptical of the thought that he knew she wasn't a little kid, Avery took her hand out of her pocket, releasing her id card in the process.

“I-I'm good at art, especially p-paintings and drawings, and I like the outdoors,” Avery responded, her timidity around new people still present, but diminished by the confidence that resulted from being around people that she knew. “So, of course I-I signed up for th-those clubs. What clubs did y-you sign up for?” She was definitely surprised that she had already met two people who seemed to be rather friendly. It was... comforting in a way. At least, it was when she ignored the fact that having more friends made the chance of her getting found out more likely.

"....?"

A few seconds later, Eva's eyes slowly fluttered open. She gingerly sat up and took a moment to take in her surroundings. Since she didn't get a concussion or anything, and judging from her makeshift pillow, AJ had made sure she didn't die or anything. Eva was pleasantly surprised by his kind actions, she usually fainted when she was alone, and has once woken up under the rain.

"Thanks..." Eva murmured softly, straightening out her clothing and smoothing out the wrinkles. "I just get the occasional random fainting spell, I guess..." Eva actually got examined by doctors multiple times concerning her fainting, and they were not able to come to a conclusion or a diagnosis. She was the only one who knew the truth about it, so it was written off as she sometimes didn't receive enough oxygen in her brain or something. Completely and utter bull.

Marc shifted the Impala into gear, the engine reving slightly, and pulled out of the small parking lot. The classical music drifted in his mind as he thought about Paris' question. He did enjoy classical music, but only at the right times such as after a workout, like right now. "I listen to different kinds of music for different occasions, rock to get pumped up, jazz or classical to cool down, and contemporary when I'm relaxing. I'm a structured listener, meaning that I can only listen to certain types of music at certain points that coincide with my mood." As he said this, te melodic tone of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony drifted lightly around them. It was a relaxing one , and Marc enjoyed it quite a bit. As he drove he calle back to Lucius, "so what room are you in?"
