"No, the one with the green hair," Yuri teased back. For once he actually got the joke and was able to come back with another. He felt rather proud. "Is Tess not like that then?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

He shook his head. "Oh no, she's super bright and colourful and super perky. She definitely gets that from her mom. You know, her mom is just a mortal,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"So she's all devil princess in bubblegum pink or what?" Yuri asked.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Pretty much," Cassius confirmed. "I feel like nobody knows she's the devil princess by looking at her. But that's why she's like, totally unique. And unexpected,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Yuri clicked his pen a few times. "Have you seen what she can do?" he asked, interested.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Her powers? Nope. I think she said she can't control 'em. That's why she came here," He started digging through his backpack for a pencil. "Don't tell her, but I got the opposite problem. I can control mine but I find it funny to mess stuff up with them,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Yuri shook his head. "I've got the main Black Mage stuff down but all of the bringing people back to life stuff has kind of been an accident so.... I'd much rather know what I was doing."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Cassius pulled a pencil out of his bag and after making sure it was sharpened, started to write in his name on the top of the worksheet. "So no, I haven't seen what she can do. I haven't even seen her true form yet,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"Maybe that's for the best," he commented. "How much do you know about first aid?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Not a lot. I know a lot of healing magic though because Mom is good at it. But that doesn't count," Cassius skimmed through the worksheet.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"Well, does it say we can research the answers? Or are we supposed to guess?" He asked, rereading the first question.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"I dunno," He shrugged and started writing his answers down.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Yuri nodded. He didn't mind making friends but sometimes it just felt like work to him. It could just be the fact that he wasn't used to actually spending time with so many people.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Cassius didn't say anything else for a while because most of his focus was on the homework.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Yuri had been the one so intent on doing the packet but he just sat there, distracted. He was mostly thinking about Coco.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Cassius finished as much as he could figure out and put the packet away in his backpack, looking at Yuri. "Dude, you okay? You look super out of it," He nudged him.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

He blinked, looking at Cassius. "Huh, yeah. I guess I was just thinking." He put the packet in his bag. "I'll just finish it later."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Oh hey, have you met your roommate yet?" He asked curiously. "If you got one that is,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Yuri nodded. "Haruka, I think. What about you?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Some kid named Rene. I've only seen him once I think. He's a huge geek though so if we ever talk, we have that in common," Cassius said.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"How do you know he's a geek?" Yuri asked. He assumed that was a bad term.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"The stuff he unpacked. He's super into fantasy and stuff like that," He explained. "He'd probably go gaga at a place like this,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"I like fantasy. But I didn't think I was a geek," Yuri said plainly.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"He's like, super mega into it, dude," He stated. "And that was just his room stuff,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Yuri shrugged. "Is he nice at least?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Don't know, we've never talked." Cassius finished his chips up and threw the bag away.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"I thought you said you'd met him?" Yuri said, munching on a pretzel.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"More like I saw him passing by. But we didn't talk," He shook his head. "And I don't really start conversations with people unless I have to,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"Except with me," Yuri said. It was true after all. Why was he any different?

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Cassius simply shrugged. "You just looked interesting,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"Which part?" He asked, curiouser now.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

He shrugged again. "Your bright colours. And the fact you looked super nervous,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

He smiled then looked at Cassius funny. "Hey! I did not."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"You totally did," He smirked slightly. "Or awkward,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"That I can understand. But I wasn't nervous about anything. Except that girl. She made me feel odd." Yuri thought about it.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"What one girl?" He asked. "The teacher? Or the girl with the rainbow hair?"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"There was a girl with rainbow hair?" he asked, thinking about it. "I meant the one that got stuck in the doorway."

((I know you mean Alia.))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Oh, I don't think I saw her," Cassius thought about it. "Why'd that make you nervous though?"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"Odd. I said odd!" Yuri said. "And how could you not? She landed on her back."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

((I deleted it))

Cassius shrugged again. "I wasn't really paying much attention. But what's like, weird about that?"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

((I just know it would hurt feelings))

"She called me love. And I don't know. Something about her was just different. I'm not a human so I don't necessarily understand those feelings all the time," Yuri told Cassius.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Like, I'm not a human either dude. I don't really know much about stuff that either. My parents are usually blank emotionally," Cassius shrugged yet again. "She was likely just being nice,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"Pay attention next time," Yuri told him. "I wasn't imagining it." He looked at the time. "I have to go to my next class."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Whatever," He grumbled and got his stuff together again. "I don't think we have the next class together, so see ya later,"

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Yuri frowned. "Did I say something wrong?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Nah. You just seemed like you were in a hurry to leave," He said.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"I don't want to be late. I'm learning about Magical Creatures," Yuri told him.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Cassius simply shrugged and waved to him.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

He felt bad for having to leave but took his things and went anyways.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]
