"Oh, my summer was just wonderful," The sarcasm in her voice was
evident, but it wasn't malicious. She grinned at Shieta. "What do
you say about getting that advanced poisons study group going for
real this year? Bully the prefects into joining, host an
experimental competition..." She trailed off, raising an eyebrow at
her.
Shieta frowned, still she persisted as she didn't feel anything
malicious from the other. But due to her poor social skills that
isn't willing to work when she needs it. Shieta ends up
speechless.
"...Are you sure it isn't you who wants to do it? And even
then, why should I?"
She knew the other was much more capable than her in more ways than
one, so why was the other being so stubborn?
"Aww, hey. I was wondering when you'd come down off that stuffy old
podium." The podium she rather wanted to be on. "And I wasn't
talking 'bout you. I was planning on just asking. But Emma and Arty
need a little fun, ya think?" She grinned innocently.
"And if you really need a cape, I suppose I could hook you up."
This Jack had a much more relaxed exterior. Kendo was one of the
few people who wasn't fooled, who could see down to the clockwork
inside her brain, the endless gears turning ever so analytically.
"See, I knew you'd come around! And how was your summer? I heard a
rumour that your sister's here... That is just a rumour,
right?" Jack said it in a way that decidedly made it clear that she
hoped it was true.
"Oh, I think I like her better than you already!" Jack stood,
leaning against the back of her chair coolly. It was impossible to
tell if she was being serious or not. "The name's Jackery Soot. I
exist to make Kendo's life exciting and miserable. Take your pick!"
Sera tilted her head at the loud voice. She had only heard of
Lydia, but never met her before. Seemed like a golden retriever
personality. Either way, that would bring her into the spotlight
where she didn't belong if she hung out with someone that popular.
Embarrassing...

"Yeah, he wishes," Jack said, shooting a nasty smirk Kendo's way.
"So what house are you in? How are you liking Newbury? Let's get
the basic questions out of the way so we can harness that innate
chaos that you have."
"Yeah, Emma's hot. I've tried to shoot my shot with her, but she's
destined to be with Artemis. And Kendo, you know you love me." Jack
was just teasing, trying to get a rise out of her stubborn friend.
It was a rare occasion when their roles were reversed, and she was
enjoying every second of it.
Simple as that. But it wasn't very often his cheeks were tinted
red, like that. But that was just because he was annoyed at the
fact that Lydia was yanking on his luscious locks.
"Oh yeah, the Frost Dragon Prefect was kind of a prick at first,
but he turned out to be a real nerdy guy. He's kind of cute too..."
Sera stopped her attempt to escape and watched them play around
with each other. It seemed like fun. A little. Her clouds turned a
dusty pink and yellow, she turned her head away, sparing a few
glances every other moment.

"Yeah. You'll figure out pretty quickly that all the hot people are
either unavailable or uninterested." Jack shrugged.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed pink and yellow clouds
suspended around a... Girl? The chaos potential was off the charts.
"Hi! Yes, you!" She waved Sera over to their group. "What's your
name?"
Oh dear god. Spotted. Her 'hair' turned back to white and she
looked around, before realizing she was talking about her. "Um...
Sera." She looked at the other girl. Poor? Ouch...

"Eh. Let her decide for herself." Jack smiled at the girl, a
genuine one this time. "I'm Jack. I like your clouds!"
Annoyed at her friend for attempting to foil her plans, Jack
quickly devised a way to get him back. "Mmm, hey Kendo? Nice
hairdo." It was again unclear if she was being sarcastic or not.
