Nero | Possessive Powers, Pd. 2
I was absorbed in my thoughts as I wandered into second period, concerned not only about fitting in, but also my wallet which never contained anything of any real importance save for a picture of my cousin, a little girl who was too sweet for her own good.
I was jolted back into reality when I heard a voice break through my thoughts, "Hey, I'm Mia, want to be partners."
I turned to face a girl who was stunningly beautiful but not in the typical way. There was something else about her that made her gorgeous, not simply her physical features.
"I'm Nero. Pleased to meet you," I extended a hand and she shook it almost uncomfortably, as if it was a social faux pas instead of something that was intended to be polite. "And yes, it would be my pleasure to be your partner. What are we doing?" I asked her, wishing that my English classes had included informal English, maybe people wouldn't look at me so strangely whenever I opened my mouth. I self-consciously ran my fingers through hair and hoped I hadn't sounded too stupid in front of her.
"We're supposed to be sparring as a warm-up." She replied patiently. "Just using powers though, they have a restriction on other forms of weaponry the first couple of days."
"Too bad." I muttered, wondering if there was a way that I could spar, and not actually have to spar.
"Ready? We have to start, the teacher's checking on people." She said impatiently.
