Fauna raised an eyebrow. "It's right next to the library. Didn't
Kyleen show you on your tour? Oh, and there is a small gym. Kyleen
probably didn't show you cause she hates it."
"Eh, forgot. I wasn't paying attention." Boreas looked around. It
seemed that the other students had stopped looking at plants and
were mingling together. "Is it time to eat yet?"
Fauna laughed. "Actually, we have tons of different kinds of food!
After all, we get students with many different powers and
abilities. Just tell Mabel what you want, and she'll give it to
you." She walked up to the counter, where an old woman dressed like
a stereotypical lunch lady was cheerfully serving students. "Oh
hello dear," she said as they came up. "Usual, please." "One DNA
brisket sandwich, coming right up!" Mabel turned to the others.
"Hello to you as well. What'll it be? Our specials today are
chicken soup, bread salad, and salmon, but you can get whatever you
want."
Mabel took the other's orders and wrote them all down. She glanced
at her list, waved her hand in a circular gesture, and a strangely
light-colored brisket sandwich appeared. "Thanks!" Fauna said, and
took it. Next, Mabel waved her hand, and the steak and soup
appeared. She continued to do this until all of the group had
received their food. Fauna took her sandwich and gestured for them
to follow. "C'mon, let's go to the Meeting Area!"
Fauna patted his arm sympathetically. "I completely understand,
Kyleen can go on and on about things she loves, but everything else
she makes it so boring!" Suddenly, a boy with messy brown hair
flashed next to her. "Aah! Max! don't scare me like that!" Fauna
shrieked. "Sorry," he laughed. "How did you even do that?
Teleportation's not your power." "Faylyn did it." He pointed to a
blind brunette and shouted, "Thanks, Fay!" She turned in the
direction of his voice and waved. "Anyways," he said, turning back
to them, "Are these the newbies?" "Yep!" Fauna said cheerfully.
"Friends, this is Max!" Max ran his fingers through his hair and
grinned. "Hi! I'm Max, Prankmaster, and winner of the world record
for eating the most slices of pizza in a minute! Introduce
yourselves!"
Fauna groaned. "I thought we got past that frosty attitude of
yours!" Max shook his head. "Oh, Kyleen mustah loved having you on
her tour. She said practically the same thing when we first met,
except her name replaced yours and she told me to go and shove my
head down a toilet. Can't a guy get some credit for his
accomplishments around here?"
"Hrm. Kyleen didn't exactly seem...welcoming. And I believe gorging
yourself on unhealthy carbohydrates doesn't count as an
accomplishment." Boreas, though, was slightly amused by the
'Prankmaster' and his antics.
Max rolled his eyes. "Ky's like that with everyone. I don't know
how she got to be the school president, probably because she's a
huge nerd. And about the "Unhealthy carbohydrates," my good sir, I
had olives on my pizza, so obviously they are healthy. Fauna shook
her head. Then she got an idea. She looked at Max and Boreas and
asked, "Hey, do you wanna see Max's power? It's really cool!"
Boreas sighed. Another one of them. The obnoxious yet generally
nice people who had no idea that they were annoying. Deciding to
forgo Max's power, Boreas walked over to the girl. "Whatever."
