Just wanna say happy new year to all the people of fan fiction. Getting a review that's not from my editor is on my resolution. Wanna help out?

The first week of the new year was gone. All already done. The 8th of January was a cold monday, and Anna had already finished her courses. She was calmly watching Youtube. Tony walked down the stairs into the living room, where Anna was.

"Hey Anna. Y'know after what happened you should go and do something to spend your time, not involving your powers." He said. She liked the fact he called them powers and not 'Limb anomalies" or something like that.

"That's what I'm doing!" The 13 year old objected.

"Something more productive. I signed you up for a few things."

"Whhyyyy. You could have asked me!"

"Fine. If you don't like them, then you're don't have to go. But let me at least tell you what they are."

"Fine. You don't even know my interests. I've only been here for about a month."

"It feels like an eternity," He said, and Anna couldn't help but agree. She liked it here very much and it was cool to have a guardian who has superpowers, and all.

"An art class specifying in watercolor, and a minor astronomers club."

"I should have never given you the password to my school email from last year…"

"I have every one of your assignments in one place!"

"Is this plan B to make me make friends?"

"Jury's out."

"Fine i'll give them a try What time should I be there by?." She said, pretending not to love the idea of being with people who had the same interests as her, looking up and studying the stars, making delicate swipes on a piece of watercolor paper, and turning them to beautiful works of art

"6:00 for the art, the star-club, it doesn't start 'till March."

"Can I go now?"

" 'Course, Anna."

Anna Had reached the spot where the classes were being held. A community centre about 25 minutes from the Avengers compound by train. She still refused to call it her home. She looked around the people lined up against the wall, waiting for the class to start. Last year, in 7th grade, before her life absolutely fell apart, her english teacher would most of the time be late for class, so she and her classmates waited in the hallway. The teacher, always apologised, and was funny about it. Anna didn't mind. She didn't like english class, anyways. A few minutes later, a man came to open the door. He was presumably in his mid forties, and was carrying lots of art supplies. Anna walked into the room along with a bunch of other kids her age. They all seemed to be in groups of friends, so Anna just sat down at a random table, with a group that looked her age.

"Hello, Aspiring artists! Today is a very important day, who knows why?" Anna knew, but she didn't put up her hand. Obviously.

"Is it because we finish our chinese watercolor projects?" Asked a boy, pointing to a stack of papers on a small table.

"No, Aron! We are just starting this delicate art! Just because we finish one projects doesn't mean the big project is done! You see, art doesn't finish, it's just that the people who are doing it don't do it. Art on."

"Is it because it is the first week of the new year?"

"No, Ean." Aspiring artists, remember, that because it may not be a special day for you, it could still mean a special for another." Anna was starting to like this art teacher.

"That doesn't make any sense!" Objected a girl, with red locks and dark eyes.

"Now, Natalia, do you go to other people's birthday parties?"

"Yes, but what does that have to do wit- ohhh I get it!" Anna put her head on the table.

"Today, we welcome another aspiring artist into out our class. Hi Anna!" He said, motioning to her. "Care to tell us a bit about yourself?"

"Well, I love painting in watercolor, and I just moved here. Before I Lived in Canada,"

"Nice to know that. Now, let's jump into this. Today we will be doing out watercolor chinese watercolor. Get your paint brushes out, and i will show you how to do an orchid. Remember, the kits are in the boxes under the table." Anna looked under the table and grabbed a kit. Inside there was some ink, which she grinded down. Once she had all her different values, she looked at her art teacher and watched him. It was a fairly easy job and she got it down in no time. The other were still in their stems while she was finishing up a second row of flowers. The girl next to her, presumably Natalia, looked over and said:

"I like your work! It's very pretty!" She said that, but Anna knew that she wasn't telling the truth. The tome of her voice. " It would be a shame if something happened to it…" She said before going back to her work. A few minutes later, the boy sitting in front her, she didn't know his name, was finished and decided to talk with Anna.

"Hello, Anna. nice to meet you." He stuck out his hand, and Anna shaked it.

"H-hi, What's your name?"

"I'm Jacob." He had brown eyes, with brown hair, a cute smile.

"Nice to meet you, Jacob. I like your orchids." That was true, they were beautiful, and the petals were always getting gradually bigger. Natalia looked at his orchids, then at her own. They were very pretty except for the fact that she had done the stems upside-down. She then 'Accidentally' pushed over her container of ink into her orchids.

"Hey! Natalia, you did that on purpose." Exclaimed Jacob before Anna could say anything.

" I did not, it was a mistake, and your orchids are really nice. You could make them again easily." Her compliment made her a good liar, and if the art teacher had come over, she would probably believe Natalie, with Anna having the disadvantage of being the"New Kid". She decided not to argue, and to
Just throw her page filled with orchids in the trash. She shot a thank-you look at Jacob, who returned it with a mere head nod. But of course, by the time she had gotten a new paper, class was over. She walked outside, where Jacob was sitting on a bench. Her bus stop was a block away, but she sat on that bench.

"Hey, thanks for confronting Natalia." She said.

"It was no problem." Said Jacob

"Well, I guess I'll see you round. Do you know when the next class is?"

"It's in two days." He said.

"Thanks!I guess i'll see you there."

"Do you wanna come over and hang out? I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind." Anna bit her lip.

"Sure, why not. Do you live far away from here?" She asked.

"No, just bout 10 minutes. You?"

"Almost half an hour." She said. When the bus came, they started to talk on the bus. Then, Jacob asked:

"Hey, Have you ever seen that Spider-dude?" Anna smiled. She had seen the Spider man, alright.

"Yeah! He caught that flying demon dude."

"I thinks he's called the vulture."

"Meh. Flying Demon dude sounds better."She said, and both of them started to laugh. A few minutes later they got off the bus. After a few minutes of walking, they passed a Mcdonalds.

"I can smell the french fries from heere." She said, in a devilish tone.

"Me too. Care to join me in conquering the crazy lines?"

"I shall!" She said, trying to ut on a british accent.

They had reached the MCdonalds, and both ordered hot chocolates. They had sat down, and for some reason the topic of the Avengers came up.

" Something happened to captain America. Do you know what? He fought iron man and a bunch of other people, and now he's… well somewhere."

"I… uh don't know." She said, unsure what to say.

"Nobody knows!" he said, looking out the window. Anna laughed. She looked at her phone. Damn! It's 8:30 already? Anna wished he could stay longer, but she had to be home by 9:00.

"I need to get going, I'll see you soon!" She said getting up from her seat.

-Later-

Anna had took the bus ride to the compound thinking about Jacob. He was cute, nice, funny. Okay, maybe she had a little crush on him. Back at the compound, Anna entered to see Tony with a phone, and a frustrated look on his face.

"Having trouble updating it?" She joked. He looked up.

"My real life. It looks like you had a good time at that art class," he said nonchalantly, while looking at the phone He looked up to at Anna and said: "Look who fell in love".

"I am not in love!" She objected.

"Oh, please. I've gotten pretty good at studying facial expressions. Who is he?"

"I told you i'm not in love! You seem pretty busy with that, so I'm gonna go upstairs."

"Not until you tell me." Anna wanted to object, but if she did, this would go on forever.

"Fine. His name is Jacob and… well he's really kind of cute. He's funny and nice."

"Awww, young love. I remember when I got my first crush…"

"I don't want to hear about it! And I don't want any 'dating advice tips' from you either, and don't tell a soul!"

"I can't promise anything." He said, going back to his phone.
