Once again... Nyota decided to forgo going to her English class again. Lord knows how much she despises that class. Not only did her dyslexia made the subject matter difficult for her, the teacher was constantly coddling over her and acted like she was 5 years old! Her teacher may have had good intentions and understood her disability but GOD she hated how the teacher acted as if she was toddler! She knew what A, B, and C's where... its just putting arbitrary pencil together to form a string of letters that represent a spoken word that Nyota had the most difficulty with. So far... it has been a shit quality education.

Whatever, she was finally out of the oppressing environment of that class so to celebrate, Nyota went on a stroll through the commons to pass the time in between classes. At this time, it was expected that there there was nobody really around so when she caught sight of some wiry looking teen it warranted her attention. As she started to walk past the person, her curiosity got the better of her as she spun on her heel to face the stranger.

"Shouldn't you be running along to class now stead of standing about?" snarked Nyota as she rested her hand and on her hip.

Kris sighed. He was in a uniform, but not one that others would suspect. It was a female uniform! The top few buttons were undone and the tie had been loosened. Being kind of annoyed at the necessity of a uniform was one thing that he could deal with. But a more pressing matter was that his remedial math class was coming up soon. He wasn't too good in most subjects. It didn't mean he wasn't smart. He had street smarts. Unfortunately those street smarts didn't really translate too well in the classroom. And, frankly, he hated most of the other kids in that class anyway.

So, being the street savvy person he is, he made a reasonable decision. A reasonable decision to not go to that class today! He was standing around in the commons, leaning back against a much larger figure. The female figure he was leaning against was much taller than average, almost two feet taller than the cross-dressing boy himself! She was a pale green, adorned with golden armored pieces, and had wild, white hair! Her pale eyes settled on the one arriving, while Kris kept his own closed.

"Eh? I could probably ask you the exact same thing, ya know." he stated with a quick shrug. He could see her. Kind of. Through his companion's eyes. But it was like looking through a distorted lens.

With a sigh he went to stand up straight and open his eyes, staring at the other teen.

"What's it to ya what I do?"

Nyota wasn't sure if the person in front of her was a boy in girls clothing or a girl who looked a bit boyish. Its possible that they where both to be honest. Well Nyota was going to respect whatever gender they might identify as so she wasn't about to that up. While Nyota may of had glowing eyes like the sun, they didn't confer any sort of ability that would allow her to be able to the armored figure that the teen was leaning on so as far as Nyota was aware it was just the two of them.

"Phhfff... figured I go on a walk while I bailed on my English class."

Nyota gives the person a rather indifferent shrug.

"As for whats it to you... well... I guess nothing so long as you don't plan to fuck with me. Honestly, the only reason I struck up a conversation was because almost never see anyone out here. So... whats it to you if I wanted to have a word or two while passing the time? Not like your doing anything important as far as I can see."

Kris let out a soft click of his tongue as he went to bring his hands down to try to shove them into pockets - like he was wearing a hoodie. Only to find himself looking a bit of a fool when he realized he wasn't wearing it. "Stupid.. Uniforms.." he mutters quietly before patting himself down a bit.

"Well. Great minds think alike. Was skippin' math. Never liked it. If I knew we were going to be doin' all this boring shit I wouldn't have come back to school, probably. Just stayed dropped out."

He sighs out for a moment, moving to stretch lightly. "But yeah, yeah. You got me. I ain't doing much right now." he offered with a shrug. "I was thinkin' of going to steal a baseball bat or somethin' from the sports field. When I came to tha academy they didn't let me keep my switch." he said, rolling his eyes in response. "'No weapons.' they said." Kris continued in a mocking tone.

However he did eye her for a few moments, "You ain't no snitch, though. Right?" he asked, crossing his arms as he went to step a bit closer. He was shorter than the other teen. Not by too much, but he was shorter.

"I mean, you seem cool. But ya never know."

"Nah, I got no reason to turn you in. You haven't done nothing to me so as far as I'm concerned we're cool." responded Nyota rather plainly before her facial expression turned into a mischievous smirk.

"Tch... really? Not even a pocket knife? About half the students are living weapons and yet they see an need to not have us run around with scissors? Thats a bit dumb. I don't what what good walking around with a baseball bat would do you but... hey... I'd join ya. At the very least we can leave those jock's heads scratching when they are doing inventory." chuckled Nyota. As she quited down, she suddenly realized that she might as well introduce herself before she completely forgets to do so.

"Mhmm... names Nyota. What might you name be dork?" asked Nyota as she extended her hand out for the teen to shake.

Kris soon found himself grinning as well. He was beginning to like this person. He closed his eyes sighing out a little bit as he went to stretch. "Yep. Not even a little pocket knife. And I'm sure there's some kind with a weirdo with a power that can blow up the whole island or something.. Not to mention a bunch of other non-humans which are apparently a thing." he said, scratching at his chin. "All of it's too new and super weird for me still."

He glanced back at Quasar for a second before he let out a soft huff at being called dork. He could let it slide now, he was in a good mood. "Well, Nyota. My name's Kris. My tall friend behind me? Her name is Quasar. She's kind of.. Like.. My power, I guess."

He eyed the hand for a moment before bringing his around to really slap into her's before giving it a shake. "So. What's your weirdo-power that got you slammed into this school? Or are you, like.. A vampire or some other monster?" he asked, bluntly.

"Ehh... the novelty of being in school full of freaks and weirdos wears off kinda quickly after the first couple of days. Trust me." shrugged Nyota

When Kris introduced themselves and their tall friend, Nyota was bit confused as first. She instinctively looked behind Kris but saw no one. Had this been a few months ago, Nyota would have assumed this person to have been a bit loose in the head. Given that everyone has some sort weird power or something about them... she assumed that this was suppose to be some invisible guardian of Kris' that only they could see.

"Quasar? Oh... she sounds bad-ass. Is she always invisible though? Cause... I see just nothing." she stated as she finished shaking Kris's hand.

"Pffft... Vampire? Do I really look a vampire? Bwhaaa hahahaha ha... oh... good one." laughted Nyota.

"Naw... more like... a living breathing nuclear fusion reactor. Watch this."

Nyota then holds her arm off to her side. As her palm opens up... the space just above her hand beings to swirl with superheated gases. Within moments, the swirling luminescent gases spin and collapse until a glowing orb that liked like a tiny sun the size of basketball is now hovering just above her palm. The fiery ball of light was just as bright as the sun high in the sky and radiated an intense heat like that of a large bonfire. Nyota then lightly tosses the tiny star in the air and it falls back to her palm like a volleyball under the influence gravity. Nyota knew she was being a real show off but... its better for people to know what she is capable of.

"Pretty nifty right?" inquired Nyota, giving Kris a smirk as she continues to lightly toss the mini-star up and down... up and down...

Kris shrugged, "I hope so. Saw another student, I think they were half bug or something." the boy shudders for a moment, "Bugs. Ech." Regardless, he regained his composure and sighed out a little bit. "Yeah. You can't.. See her? Weird. Some people can. A lot of others can't. But it's mostly normies who can't see her." he explained, crossing his arms.

She laughed about being called a vampire. Did she look like one? He wasn't sure. Weren't vampires like.. Similar to humans. But.. With pointier teeth or some shit? Eh whatever. He didn't have to worry about vampires, she apparently wasn't one.

"Nuclear what now?" he asked, he was a bit absorbed in his own thoughts he hadn't noticed her explain it - only to be amazed at the sudden appearance of the ball of light. He had to show his amazement at this. "Yo that's pretty cool. Pretty cool." He was trying to not show how amazed he was. His composure was more important right now, anyway.

"Really fucking cool. I can just lift heavy things and punch real hard. And also punch with fire. Kinda, at least." he said, his eyes following the ball of light as he spoke. "So. Nyota. Where do you go when you're skipping class so you don't get caught. Would love to see.~"

Nyota basked in Kris', them calling her powers cool as good enough for her. Nyota nodded her head approvingly as Kris explained to her what their powers were. She was always one to approve of anyone who could deal out the punches. And punching with fire sounded pretty awesome too!

"Oh... thats pretty rad. I bet you can knock some sense into just about anyone who might want to mess with you. I've got to see this fire punch of your's sometime." smiled Nyota as she flicks her wrist upwards. The sun under her command then flies up about 10 feet above them and just hovers in place as she Nyota answered their question.

"Anyway, its usually a tossup between hanging out the rooftops or just going back to my dorm to be honest." stated Nyota, occasionally glancing up at the mini-star above them to make sure that it wasn't going to dissipate or move without her knowledge.

Kris blushed for a mere moment before he cleared his throat, "I can show it off to you sometime.~" he said before bringing an arm up, leaning against Quasar like she was a wall. It'd certainly look rather awkward without her being seen. His eyes went upwards when the orb moved, but it didn't seem to be doing anything else, so he shrugged.

When he heard the options he thought for a few moments. A roof could work. But dorms? If they did decide to look for them, that's the very first place they'd look! If this school cared at all. That, he wasn't sure about being new. "Well. I wouldn't mind goin' to the dorm of someone as cool as you." and with those words he flashed her a wink! What a class act, he had.

He brought his free hand up to run his fingers through his hair for a moment before sighing, "Though we probably should get moving somewhere before some nosy faculty member comes and gets us in for skippin' on classes."
