Surprised plus one

Alexandria walks down the sidewalk as she makes her way towards a restaurant after classes today. Instead of staying on campus or making her own food, she decided today was going to be a day where she can treat herself. She hasn't done it often since it cost money and it can get very easily expensive, but today was a day she broke that. Classes were a pain, a new project was just added onto her already packed homework schedule and she didn't know the person she was partnered with. It worries her, that she didn't know her partner. She didn't know if he was going to do his part of the project or just leave it all to her, or worse that he wouldn't do the work well enough to get a good grade.

Letting out a sigh, Alexandria shakes her head and puts those thoughts back into the corner of her mind while she enters the restaurant. There was a small line, not long though as the host gets everyone seated in just a few minutes before it was her turn. Since it was just her, she gets seated at a window on a table where it seats only two people, which she is ok with seeing as she doesn't need a lot of room. As she looks at the menu and quickly decides what she wants, she takes a glance at the doorway and spots a much longer line. She got here at the perfect time it seems, right before the large crowd came in.

Alexandria is looking at the menu, really just debating between a few items when the host comes over and asks if someone from her school can sit at her empty seat. Honestly she wasn't expecting that. She has never had to share her extra seat before because she has never seen a host do that. Ask another person so share their table with someone they didn't come with. Alexandria did hear that this kid was from her school, so she gives a slight nod on agreement before watching the host go over to the kid and bring him over.

Recognition flares through her. The kid from her class, the one she is sharing the new project with. That surprises her because out of all the restaurants in town and everywhere else to eat, she didn't expect that.

When he speaks she shakes her head at his first words. "She asked if I could share the table. I agreed." With that she pushes the chair across from her out with her foot slightly. She's short, so she cant push it out too far, just enough to get the message across. "Sit." She goes back to her menu, but he speaks again and looks at him. "Well..." Debates with herself for a few moments. She wont turn down free food, but it seems wrong to take advantage like that. "Are you sure? You don't have too you know...I was obviously going to eat here anyways."

When he agrees to play for lunch, all she does is just nod for a moment before replying. "Well, thanks in advance." She's never had someone else pay for her food before, seeing as how Alaska does have many restaurants and stuff ya know? Then there is here and she has friends yeah but none of them have offered to play before, they usually just split the bill whenever they go out, maybe once a month? "And your welcome. This place is packed."

Alexandria goes back to her menu, finally deciding on what she wants to eat before realizing, a moment later, that Kurt asked her a question. "Oh, yeah, a few times. Why don't you get to eat out much?" Eating out is something a lot of people do because cooking for yourself is like working to people and the school food isn't always the best.

"So this is your first year then? This is my second year here, but I go home as often as I can." Living in Alaska, she knew there was a lot of other supernaturals out there, but she never met any of them besides other winter shifters and sometimes a warmer weather shifter but it didn't happen often. So when she first came here, seeing how many other shifters there actually where and what they looked like and all that, it surprised her. She's still getting over some of the other shifters and their looks or whatever.

"So you live close to the school then? If you eat at home most of the time, you have to be. Unless you can teleport or fly if its close enough." She wished she could go home and eat, but flying that far every day or even once a week would just take too much time. Not when there is school work to do as well.

Alexandria nods to what Kurt is saying about the school and the super naturals that live here. He's right, this place is different. Outside of here, a lot of people don't like how they look or what they are or they fear what they can do. Probably all of it to be honest. This place is a safe haven for them. Usually anyways, students can be cruel too.

When the waitress comes over to take their order, she gives her answer on her choice of food for the day, hands her the menu then looks back at Kurt. "California huh? I've heard that place is warm all the time." Shakes her head. "I don't think I could go there unless it was winter. Doesn't it get to the 50's? Oh and I'm from Alaska. We don't get many other super naturals up there, unless they enjoy the cold weather or they are on a very short trip or something."

Alexandria frowns at this. She was always told that lunch is a huge part of someone's day. Especially in the cold weather like Alaska where you can burn hundreds of calories playing in the snow for just an hour, if not more. Depending on what you do. "Lunch is important, you should eat it more often. It's an important meal." She tilts her head at him slightly, trying to figure something out before speaking again. "You can always come eat with me at lunch."

She shakes her head at his words of sun. "Heat and I don't go well at all. I like the cold, but the cold here isn't the same as back home. It's still warmer here then home." At this she shrugs.

Takes a sip of her water as she thinks of his last question. What she does for fun? Mostly she studies or flies or whatever... "Well usually I'm doing homework, but I like to draw sometimes. Doodle if you will. What about you?"
