I have been to Sky High before, so I know my way around the school. My grandpa wanted to make sure I was comfortable with navigating the school before I actually went there, so we had gone in on a saturday to meet the teachers and find my locker. I expected that I wouldn't like a lot of the teachers, or at least be indifferent about them, but damn most of them were irritable. They probably didn't like the fact that they all had to come into school on a saturday just for a newbie. The gym coach, Mr. Boomer, had even grumbled about having to miss his workout for 'this special snowflake', which I assume meant me. Of course it would be about me, who else could it have possibly been about?

After I had shown him my power he was considerably more civil, though. Which I still find insulting. He likes me more because I'm being put in hero classes? What a bigot.

I also met Principle Powers, who had a lengthy talk with my grandpa about who knows what while I was exploring the school. She seems alright but I didn't need to hear the whole lecture about being good and not causing trouble. That's fucking obvious, but most adults never seem to understand that. Whatever.

Once I got off the bus I headed straight to my first class of the day, Mad Science. I was in the building (and the classroom) before a lot of the other students, but that doesn't bother me. I like being prepared. Mr. Medulla looked up at me as I walked in and I swore I saw him roll his eyes.

"Good morning, Miss Hawthorne." He said, although he sounded annoyed. I furrowed my brows at him. What's your problem, man? "You will be sitting on the left side of the room, three rows back. Know that while we aren't doing any group work currently, the person sitting by you will be your partner for future projects." He told me, and I sat down in my seat as a few other students began to come in.

I set my bag on the floor beside my stool and took out my Mad Science textbook. If I'm going to start school here, I might as well get a jump start on what I've missed. The saturday I had come in and met Mr. Medulla, he had let me know what chapter the rest of the class was on so that I could catch up, but I had procrastinated reading the chapter and hadn't gotten to it yet. I opened the book up to that chapter (the 21st) and set it on the lab table, skimming over the pages. After a moment I feel someone sit down next to me, but I ignore it. I don't want to socialize.

As Mr. Medulla starts class, I look up at him but keep myself kinda compact in my seat. I don't want to draw any more attention to myself, especially after what happened on the bus. Out of my peripheral, I can tell the person who had sat to the right of me was wearing dark clothes and had longish dark brown hair. A goth? Good, then maybe it was someone who was too moody to bother talking to me. I don't need anyone trying to chat me up right now. I have too much to think about already. What with just moving to Maxville and transferring to Sky High and having to catch up on everything- Like the scientific study of heredity Mr. Medulla is currently going over. We're going over genetics in this class? I hope that doesn't mean we have to make a family tree or anything… I sigh, knowing it most likely does.

I successfully made it through Mad Science without having to talk to anyone, and was feeling pretty good about my chances of just blending into the background until lunch came...
