This is a little something something I made for 888poke since I know she likes SBT. This is my first attempt at writing for this show, enjoy! Guess what Jessica, you're in it!
Lance looked up at the high shool building with a sigh. Another boring day in that stockade these people called a place of education. He looked over at Ilana and Octus. Scratch that, Newton. He still hadn't gotten used to calling the robot by his human disguise name. He gave another sigh, softer this time, and walked into the building at the first bell.
He sat through all of the classes while watching the rather boring lessons given by the teacher. The highlight of the day so far had to be when one of the jocks got some sort of chemical in his eyes during science class and was dancing around like a Gala-Lunan screecher while screaming that it burned. Despite that, the whole day seemed pretty useless. His people had already learned things far more advanced than this, so he didn't even have to pay attention save for when he had to scribble down a note or two so it'd seem like he was.
Finally, it was lunch, one of the parts of the day that he least despised, save for the disgusting food. He had just gotten said food and was looking for a place to sit and eat it, whatever it was. What had the lunch lady said, mystery meat? He didn't know and didn't care as long as he got some type of nourishment from it. He was looking around until he saw a table with only two people sitting at it. They were both girls, he noticed, but he didn't really care as he sat down across from the two.
They didn't even seem to notice him until he sat down. The both looked up at him and he managed to see how they looked. One of them had straight, blonde, shoulder-lenght hair and ultra tan skin. Her eyes were a soft marine blue in color with a hint of green at the edges. she was wearing two earings on each ear and had a silver necklace around her neck. She was wearing a black shirt with some sort of writing on the front that he couldn't read because most of it was hidden under the table. The other had brown hair in a ponytail so long that it reached almost to the floor of the cafeteria they were in. She had strange eyes, they seemed to be changing color even as he looked on, and eyelashes so long and full that they didn't even look like they should be real, yet they were natural. She had very, very pale skin and a teal shirt so bright that he almost had to squint to look at her.
"What's up?" The brunette asked as she looked at him with her confusing eyes. She looked at him for a split-second more before typing something on a black device in front of her. "Sorry, where are my manners? My name is Serina, this is my friend Jessica." she said as she gestured to her blonde friend as she gave a slight wave. She then typed something else on the device in front of her with a frown on her face. "Hmph, Shiri no ana
all of them." she muttered as she typed furiously on the device.
"Sorry about my friend, she was born like this." Jessica said as she tapped her friend on the head.
"Hey! I've told you a million times, don't do that!" Serina screeched as she smacked her friends hand away.
"Yet, I always get away with it. Now why is that?" Jessica said smugly and looked down at the book in front of her. Her friend then did something that confused Lance. She took her thumb and forefinger and used them to pinch a place in the back of her friend's neck. Jessica shuddered for a moment before collapsing to the table.
Serina looked at Lance and clicked her nails together. "Pressure point" she said proudly, "never fails." At that moment Lance saw Ilana and Newton walk into the cafeteria and he motioned to them. They both walked over and sat down.
"Salutations. I see that you've already met Lance." Ilana said cheerfully. Right after she said that, Jessica woke up with a moan, a page from her book sticking to her cheek as she sat up.
"Whu'? Oh, hey, what's happening?" Jessica said groggily as she unstuck the paper from her face. She gave a loud yawn and looked at the two who had just sat down. "Say, all three of you are in our classes." she said as she looked at them. They looked at her with confused expressions, except for Newton "Yeah, the big guy's in our math class, the girl is in our history, and the raven-haired guy is in our science class."
Now that she had mentioned it, he vaguely remembered the two laughing in the corner at the pained antics of the jock. Newton noticed that neither of them had a lunch tray in front of them like the other students.
"Where is your lunch?" Newton asked the girls. They looked at each other with a face and turned back to him.
"We do't really eat the cafeteria food, we usually just have a snack, and then we go to a fast-food place after school." Jessica explained.
"Yeah, we don't normally eat the cafeteria food. Or, if that even is food." Serina said, shying away from Ilana's tray. Lance noticed that her eyes had just gone from being teal as her shirt, to the color of a ripe peach while she was talking.
"What do you mean?" Newton asked. He didn't know why she had said that and he had never seen anything wrong with the food before.
"Well, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that food isn't supposed to, um, slither." she emphasized. Lance didn't even know what she was talking about, until he looked down and realized that the brown goop on his plate was slithering off the tray like an inch-worm. He looked at it with disgust and used his fork to push the tray away from himself. Ilana and Newton did the same.
"Chips?" Jessica asked as she held out the bag to the three. Ilana and Lance both grabbed some while Newton politely refused. Ilana looked at Serina and saw that she was eating something that had the vague shape of a seashell.
"What's that?" she asked as she pointed with that hand that didn't have chips in it.
"What, this? It's a chocolate cornette. It's what I eat at lunch." Just after she said that, the bell for class rang and there was a screeching of chairs as people got up to go to class.
"Hey, maybe after school we can all go out to get some real food, my treat" Jessica offered.
"Sure, why not. See you later" Ilana called as she fast-walked to her locker. Both Newton and Lance did the same as they walked to class, leaving the two girls to gather up their things. Jessica looked at Lance's retreating back as she slung her backpack over her shoulder.
"Something wrong?" Serina asked, her eyes now a strange combination of colors, like looking into a prism.
"No. But, that Lance guy is pretty hot." Jessica said as the two started walking. Serina just shrugged and the two walked on.
Well, whaddaya think? I hope you all liked it, I worked pretty hard on it. This will be a continuing 'fic so keep an eye out. I'll have the next chapter out when I can, bye. Please review!
