Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.

The End of the School Day

Third period came and went and so did fourth period after it. When all was over, Lance was just glad the day was done. History class he had enjoyed, science was alright, but why he was in a science class a grade above him was beyond him. Had there not been enough room in the other science classes for his grade? Was that the reason he was in a science class for a higher grade? As long as it wasn't college level math, he was alright with it. He hated math, why couldn't that be optional? Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, variables, that was all perfectly simple, why did there have to be such… Weirdness? Idiocy? Lunacy? What did it even qualify as? Nonsense? Yes, that was good. Nonsense was good. It was nonsense.

Looking up at the sky for a moment, half expecting rain clouds as there had been his first day in Dolphin City, Lance shook his head and thought back to when Rikki had suddenly departed when rain had begun to fall. Why? Water allergies. No, if that was the case she wouldn't have gone for a nighttime swim. Maybe he was overthinking it, perhaps it was just the case that no one liked to be caught in the rain without an umbrella, coat or hat. Yes, that was it.

Tightening his grip on his backpack, Lance looked around him. Zane and Miriam were talking with another girl, a girl in his history class… What was here name? Artemis? Selene? Diana? Cynthia? Yes, that was it! Her name was Cynthia! She didn't seem too bad, if only he could say the same about Miriam, at least Zane seemed to have some gold flecks to his personality.

So, what now? Back in his hometown, he would just go home after school. He now had some friends, so was he going to hang out with them now that the school day was… No, Cleo was probably needed at the oceanic centre and Emma probably had to work… Leaving just Rikki and Lewis as the ones with the free time.
