Bolting across the shimmering green grass that decorated the Institute's grounds, Kevin felt the wind combing through his oily black hair as he ran up to the beautifully designed building and crashed through the doors.

"Hey, guys! I decided to show up!" He said, sucking in air like a vortex.

He should've arrived an hour ago, when he could've been introducd as had everyone else. But it slipped his mind in the grand scheme of things, until a few minutes ago that is.

No one was in sight, but he knew that they had to be here. He knew he couldn't have missed the first meeting. He hadn't met the majority of the group yet, but he was comfortable enough with the professor himself and the teachers to trust that this would probably be a good experience.

Listening intensely, he heard that they were just a ways off, near the kitchen. So he rushed right over, scrambling through the house like a madman. When he stepped into the vicinity of the group, he felt the gaze of several of them fall upon his somewhat mangy dress.

"Umm, hello. I'm Kevin. Kevin Ford."
