It had been 5 months since they'd met Leanna. Scroop was in a tight spot after his own ship had been damaged beyond repair, so he'd decided to find another pirate crew to sail with. At least until he and Asher had their own ship
"No" Scroop reminded himself, "Until I get my own ship."
While Scroop was in the 'bad part of town' scoping out potential crews Asher was enjoying exploring the better part of the city. He wandered into a strange building where a bunch of kids his own age were rushing about and he followed some of them into an odd room. As Asher walked in a stern looking woman in giant specktackles stopped him.
"Ah, so I see we have a new student. Well, don't be rude. Introduce yourself and tell us where you're from." The teacher instructed in a strict tone
Asher, of course, didn't know what was going on, but decided to go along with it anyway.
"My name's Asher and I come from somewhere in space."
"Hello, Asher." The class muttered in bored greeting
The teacher shooed Asher off to one of the seats. As soon as he sat down he was hailed with questions.
"So you live in space? That's so cool!"
"Are your parents spacers?"
"Have you ever had a run in with pirates?"
Finally the teacher had to intervine and force the class to settle down.
"Now then," she continued, glad to have most of the class's attention "Who can solve the problem on the board?"
Asher raised his hand while everyone else shied away from the complicated problem. His classmates stared at him with admiration, jealousy, and disbeleif.
"So, the new student is the only one brave enough to attempt it. Alright, let's see if you can solve it." the teacher waited expectantly
"I don't really care about all those numbers and letters, I just want to know where you keep the food." Asher rubbed the back of his head nervously
there was a split second pause, then the class erupted in laughter. The teacher glared, not happy to have a comedian in her class distrupting it.
"Lunch will be served at noon in the cafeteria." the teacher explained coldly
That seemed like forever away to Asher (it was barely a half hour) but finally the clock struck noon. As Asher was getting up to leave someone stopped him
"Excuse me." a girl with bright pink cheeks stepped in front of him
he leaned over to feel her forehead and her whole face turned red
"Are you okay? You look really red." Asher told her concerned
"I'm fine." She assured, taking Asher's hand off her forehead and holding it in her hand. "I was just wondering if you'd like to eat lunch with me."
Asher blinked at her
"You mean like the doggies in the movie? Cuz if you do then I call dibs on the meatball."
She giggled and told him that if they served spagetti it was a deal.
As they walked into the cafeteria people all around them were whispering,
"Unbeleivable! It's the guy's first day and already he's caught the interest of Veronica Ruby, the most popular girl in school."
Asher sat down with Veronica looking dissapointed. The lunch lady had barely given him any food.
"Shoot! I forgot to grab a juice box." Veromica remembered
"I'll go grab one for you, Ronnie." Asher smiled and practically bounded away
One of the school jocks who'd adopted a special disliking to Asher stuck out his leg as Asher came by in an attempt to trip and humiliate him. Asher bumped into the jock's leg, but instead of tripping the jock screamed in pain and looked down to find his leg at an odd angle.
"Oops.Sorry." Asher apologized
"You freak! You broke my leg and all you do is say, 'oops'?!" The jock growled through gritted teeth
"What are you talking about? I apologized. So now we can move on and be friends, right?" Asher smiled at him in a way no half way decent person would be able to resist.
Unfortuneatly, the jock was very arrogant and hard headed.
"You are so gonna pay for this freak!"
"Can it, Derk." Veronica told him, comming up behind Asher "That wouldn't have happened if you weren't being a jerk." then she turned to Asher. "Wow, you're really strong. You must've studied a lot of karate."
"My sister is acctually way better than me. Which she has no problem reminding me of." Asher told her
and Veronica giggled at what she thought was a joke.
9999999999
"Where is that brat?" Scroop wondered, getting irritated at Asher for not being back at the ship already.
"Yo." Asher swung upside down in front of Scroop, causing the arachnid to jump
"Where were you?" Scroop demanded to know
Asher shrugged, which looked weird upside down.
"I got detention for accidentally breaking another student's leg." Asher explained
and Scroop's jaw dropped
"Huh?"
"It was a fun day. You know, this is the first time I've interracted with kids around my own age. Minus Leanna."
Now that Scroop thought about it, it made sense that Asher wasn't used to being around other kids.
"I've already got a date for homecomming. Whatever that is." Asher told him, excitedly
"We're going to be leaving long before homecomming." Scroop said
"Oh, well, that might complicate the whole date thing a bit."
Scroop just rolled his eyes
"Just remember, we leave tommorrow." he reminded
