Serenity had not been looking forward to this trip, she wasn’t a huge fan of nature, though she was a huge fan of Mr. Colles. She had glanced around the bus after she had climbed on and noted the faces she recognized, especially Cole, The boy she had sat and talked with during the fighting in the Arena. She felt silly being so thrown by him, but that brief touch during the Arena had sent a shockwave through her, it hadn’t been a long enough touch to learn anything but it still had sent a tremor through her. She had been reluctant to go into the woods with the other students but she knew she had too, it was this or being stuck on campus for the rest of the summer since her parents did not want her to come home. 

She hadn’t made any friends yet, but then she had only been at the school for one term and was leaps and bounds ahead of many of the students thanks to her abilities. She enjoyed learning, and the fact that she could easily pick up new subjects made her life easier, but the only place she hadn’t been where she felt she would do the most good had been the infirmary. Shaking her head a bit she turned glancing around the bus she smiled a bit at Cole hoping that she could ease any awkwardness between them while they were all out in the woods. 

She didn’t smile at anyone else though, taking stock of the new students and one slightly shocking cat who was sitting next to Cole, but she just shrugged a bit and relaxed against the seat watching out the window as the trees went by.
