For the Lack of Acquaintance [Zeke & Fletcher]

After receiving her assigned dormitory, Sena hastily went to search for her room. The travel through the pathways was a treat as her eyes were amused by the intricate wall decorations. It didn't take quite long before she saw her living quarters. Knocking twice and hearing no answer, she decided to just open the door. The dainty room seemed to be cozy. She figured she would have a room mate after seeing a pair of beds. Stepping in the room, she pulled and placed her luggage on the other side of the room. Good thing it has wheels on the bottom, if not carrying it with all her might would be stressful.

After shutting the door as quietly as she could, she waltzed herself to the student lounge. At the lounge she found a little treat —- huge TV's, a number of comfortable couches and chairs and a few computers greeted the girl. The blonde sat down in one of the couches, crossing her legs as she waited patiently for anyone who would come to the room. while humming a tune. She needed to talk to someone since she's just new to the academy and a little help wouldn't harm.

The stillness of the moment that almost lulled Sena to sleep on the comfortable couch in the student lounge was cut short by footsteps. As she wiped her eyes two boys entered the premises, one of them suddenly barricaded in front of the TV. He was taking out something, and upon eavesdropping to the conversation of the two Sena learned that the one with shaggy blonde hair was scavenging the appliance. Hearing all the tinkering and clanking, Sena couldn't help but be worried —- they were wrecking school's property, and the comrade of this person didn't seem to stop him.

From where she was seated, she cleared her throat first and loudly inquired: "Eo, I didn't mean to bother you but that's school's property. Isn't it rude of you to just tear the TV into pieces? You don't want to end up in the principal's office, do you?"

Awaiting for the reply from any of them, she managed to stand up and move closer to the duo, her curiosity to know what were they supposed to do with TV parts peaking.

It was a bit rude of the shaggy blonde guy not to even say 'hi' or 'fuck off'. For a moment Sena frowned at the attitude, but then she decided to just let another smile show in hope that the cold shoulder would soon turn into a warm welcome. His partner seemed to be a nice person, though. Watching them taking the inside parts of the television, Sena watched keenly while wishing no school official or personnel would drop by the place. She's not prepared for trouble today, since it was her first day and a red mark on her records on the very maiden day would be a pain in the eye to see.

Putting her hands inside her side pockets, Sena unpursed her lips, "Sooo, what are you going to do with those parts? By the way, I'm Sena. I'm a new person here. I don't know much around so I am hoping the two of you could be...uhm...my first set of friends? If not, acquaintances at least? Don't worry, I won't tell the teachers or the principal that you're wrecking the television. "

The blonde guy argued with the one on his wrist. Sena was amused to hear the two of them who surely were so close argue like this, it reminded her of a few friends back in Tokyo. However, things took a slight turn when the shaggy-haired guy chose quite rash words, making Sena frown a bit, though she could tell that he was nice —- his intentions of snobbing and pushing her away was to protect her from being hurt. Sena let a series of laugh slip on her lips upon hearing the word 'hurt'. "Me? Hurt? I've been in something worse than you are saying, and I believe I'm heading for the worst," she said while flapping her hand. She was referring to her medical condition, and she's enduring every day of her life with it, so what could actually be worst than that?

Then it seemed that the guy thought of things over and apologized, which Sena quickly accepted. Smiling, she recalled their names as they recited it: Zeke and Fletcher. Sena stooped and watched Zeke as he explained what he was taking from the TV and why. Sena could feel her brain freezing for a moment, 'Electric nodes, I bet I've heard it somewhere. But I'm sure it's not edible,' she thought.

"Yes Zeke, I'm new here. I just got in hours ago." The blonde would look at Zeke, then to his tools and the now detached TV. "So, is there anything I can do to help?"

Sena was pleased with the positive reaction from Zeke. She felt she was right —- he might look really snob, but he's pleasant. The girl took the flashlight with her dainty hands,trying to be really careful in handling it. She did not want to make the boy angry or to leave him with a bad impression since it was just their first encounter.

While waiting for another item to be passed on her, Sena inspected the flashlight, turning it around, then pushing the power button a couple of times. What should she be expecting, some sort of magic to happen when the power button is tapped? It's just a flashlight, not a light saber.

Trailing her eyes back on the busy person, Sena tried to come up with anything just to kill the silence between them. "So..ummm...what invention are you going to make today? Do you think you can do something that...well...does miracles?"
