Anna spotted the others as they came over after she'd grabbed her food with Niya. Sebastian had picked up an apple even though he wasn't going to be eating it, he contented himself with tossing it in the air and catching it repetitively. As Gunner greeted them Anna grinned playfully, "What.. are you a cowboy now?" She glanced around at the tables and picked one by the far wall, "That one looks less... grungy than the others," she laughed.

Sebastian glanced at Serena and rubbed the back of his neck, feeling like an ass again. "Uh... Serena... can I talk to you?" He sighed, "I'm not going to back you into any corners or anything but I wanted to apologize and explain a few things..."

Anna frowned, "What did I miss... what did he do," she asked Gunner.

Sebastian mussed her hair, "Relax, it's between Serena and I."

She glanced at Serena, "Remember what I said about kicking his ass..." She glanced at Niya...

"Hey Niya... This is Gunner, the one I was telling you about. Gunner, this is Niya. She's one of the transfer students from Siberia."

Aleksander stood in the corner of the room watching the students milling about with a sigh. He caught himself thinking about Trishia and the sad look on her face when he'd left her. He felt bad that he'd had to take off on her and wondered if she had many other friends around campus. She seemed lonely.

He caught sight of Sebastian, a Moroi, in the lunch room and dismissed it. Sebastian spent a lot more time with Dhampirs than he did other Moroi and usually didn't cause trouble during the lunch times so he left him alone.
