Learning on your own isn't so bad.

Topher sat against a tree near the lake, listening to the peaceful sounds of the world around him. It wasn't too bad, really. When nobody was around, he liked being able to hear everything. He had a huge encyclopedia open on his lap, but at the moment, he was distracted.

He'd taken to reading encyclopedias for the simple reason that he couldn't learn anything in a class atmosphere, and thus had to take his learning into his own hands.

His hair flopped into his eyes again, and he made a mental note that he was going to have to cut it soon, since if he let it get any longer it would almost be a girlish length.

His thoughts wandered again to what it would be like to have friends without getting overwhelmed, but it was something he had no experiance with, so the thought didn't stay very long.

Pisces was excited. She ran out the main door of the school, looking at her surroundings. Shiloh had mentioned something about a lake... and with that one word, she had ran out to find it.

And now she had!

"LAAAAAKE!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, throwing her arms up in the air and running barefoot toward the water. Long, blonde hair flew behind her, a grin on her face and a look of glee to her liquid blue eyes.

However, as she neared the body of water, she noticed a shape under a nearby tree. Confused, she only continued to run until she found it was an actual person. Gasping in shock, Pisces tried to slow down, since she had probably made a complete and utter foot of herself.

Skidding to a stop a few yards from the water and then falling over frontward, she blushed into the dirt, her blonde hair now sprawled everywhere. She slowly lifted herself into a sitting position, spitting out a piece of grass. Yuck.

Remembering that the boy was there, Pisces' face went red and she turned to him, smiling awkwardly. "... Hi..." she stated, trying to stay calm so fins wouldn't sprout out of her wrists. She looked around, trying to find something else to say. "I'm..." Oh, great. In all the commotion she had forgotten her name. "... Grass?"

GAAH NO! She coughed, feeling the skin of her wrists turn a bit scaly. "PISCES! I mean. I'm Pisces." She grinned crookedly, knowing very well she was an odd girl. Hopefully he wouldn't make fun of her for it.

Topher nearly keeled over in shock with the horror of his eardrums nearly shattering. By the time his senses had stopped reeling, the girl had already taken her fall, and he hadn't witnessed it. She spoke loudly to him, nearly hollering her name the first time she said it, and his eye twitched of it's own accord.

It took every ounce of self control he had not to keel over onto the ground and twitch like a dead fish. "Ehh..I'm.er...T-.." Come on, that loud noise couldn't have actually liquified his brain. "T..Topher." he offered a weak smile, closing his book.

"Erm..are you Ok-kay?" he questioned, inwardly cringing as he stuttered yet again. If he was more of an outward person he would have been flailing in frustration with himself.

"T..Topher."

He seemed a bit nervous. Pisces gazed at him as he finally said his name, then nodded. "It's nice to meet you, Tohper," she said, her tone slightly quieter than before. The shininess of the sun on the water was distracting her a bit, plus she didn't want to speak too much now that she was completely mortified.

She winced as she saw her fins finally sprout completely from her wrists. Face red as a cherry, she placed her hands under her thighs, hoping to hide them. At times, she hated having these powers... well at least her gills hadn't formed. Sticking her head in the lake for a while wouldn't have been much fun.

"Erm..are you Ok-kay?"

He was still stuttering. Pisces wondered if he had a problem with that. "Yeah, I'm just peachy!" she replied, trying to keep a grin on her face. She peaked at her fins, and upon seeing they were still there, just gave up. She placed her head in her hands, sighing, face still rather red. "Are you? I didn't startle you or anything, did I?"

She then noticed the book in his hands, and the nerd in her immediately became happy. "Ooo, whatcha looking up?" she asked him.
