Alex chuckled a bit as Jo calmed down a bit while he tied her tie for her. He could always teach her how to do it later on, seeing as it would end up easier in the long run if she couldn’t find someone to help her with it. When she said he couldn’t ask, he gave a thoughtful but nodded a bit. “Okay, okay. Then I won’t push. Especially since you’re so sure it’ll make me feel better.” He said, and once they were out the door, he noticed a lot more people shuffling around. Her next question took a second for him to get, but then he shook his head. “Oh, I hadn’t meant it literally I just meant it seemed like everyone I’ve been around has been running late. You. Billie. But it’s not like you’re running that far behind, we still have plenty of time.” He told her with a small smile. It was cute how she’d taken him literally, at least he’d thought so. He nodded to her when she said it sounded good to meet up for third period, and he thought a moment. “Well, how about the library? It’s not too terribly far from the gym, so we wouldn’t have to worry about that once it was time for class again. Plus, I need to check out a few books for my Realms class. I don’t do so well in that class.” He chuckled a bit at the last part. Only reason he didn’t do so well in Realms is because the teacher was so boring. Hell, the first two years he’d only stayed awake because he took the class with Garret and then last year he’d had it with Billie. He was still amazed he’d passed the classes of it that he had. Once Chambliss made it into the room, Alex noted that she had a rack with all sorts of potions on it, but the colors were so faded that even when he squinted he had trouble telling what colors they were. Yeah, he’d definitely have to talk to the Arch Mage about this because now it was going to get detrimental. Granted, sure, if Alex could see color it would have made a lot of his classes easier, but this class in particular, you kind of needed to know what color things were. He knew a lot of plants and potions were identified by color and when mixing potions if you got the wrong color, you were kind of screwed. -- Adrian was slightly relieved by the fact that a Molly didn’t seem too annoyed with the fact he was groggy in the morning. Hell, the fact that even she understood that coffee damn near fixed any groggy was good too because then she could point him in the right direction once they got into the cafeteria. It was damn near immediate when they got into the cafeteria that he could smell coffee. That alone was beginning to make him more alert. Once Molly had answered him and gave him a quick rundown of where everything was, he headed over and got her doughnuts first and himself a bagel. Then he went over and got their coffees before he headed back over to the table she had picked and noticed she was talking to someone. He looked extremely familiar, but he doubted he’d met him outside the school. Darren looked to Molly when she spoke to him and stopped a minute. “Figure it was time to. Besides, too much other shit going on for me to be a priority on anyone’s list anyway.” He said before smiling. “But I’ve been doing good, and yourself?” His eyes moved once he saw the big dragon demon come over to them. Now that was convenient. Once Adrian had put the things in his hands down and Molly took her coffee, he looked at Darren. “Nice to meet you, I’m Adrian.” He said, offering his hand out and shaking it. “You’re the one Billie cast out.” Darren said. “I’ve been there.” Adrian just nodded a bit and he watched Darren for a second before Darren spoke again, “But, you know, there is always a way to get back at her for that.” He looked at Molly and smiled. “Good seeing you again, I’ll leave you two be.” Adrian looked at him and nodded. “I might come find you later.” Darren just smirked and walked off as Adrian sat down and looked at Molly. He took a sip of his coffee and a bite of his bagel before he asked, “He’s Darren Flint isn’t he?” he asked. Once he’d heard the name Darren, he could see that he was his father’s child. The two definitely had a family resemblance, and it was why he seemed so familiar. And if he had that annoying as gift with words his father had spoke about, then he’d definitely be valuable, even if he seemed hated around here. -- Clary couldn’t help but smile as Logan went on and touched her nose and Cole’s. He was just so carefree but it worried her. He could be taken advantage of so easily in this mind frame, and she didn’t want to leave him without someone she trusted. So the moment she saw Ez, she had to run over and talk to her. Cole looked to Logan when he saw Devin, but she didn’t breathe a word as to what he said. She had seen it that first night before classes, and then Clary had told her what she’d walked in on. It was said, but if the two could just stop being so damn stubborn neither of them would have to feel that way again. She watched him as he headed into the class and then started walking with Clary. A voice caused them to slow down and Cole just smiled to the girl. Clary smiled too. “Oh, hi!” she greeted, “I know. Not like last year when we had first period together.” Cole just nodded. “Yeah, sis, and you’re Heather, right?” Clary looked at Heather and smiled a bit and answered. “Nothing is on my agenda for third period.” Once Heather continued on, Clary nodded. “Oh! That sounds wonderful! I just have to stop by my dorm after second period and I’ll meet you in the cafeteria.” Cole looked to them. “Love to join, but I’ve got class that period.” Clary smiled a bit. “So, it’s a date? I’ll see you then. I don’t want to be late for Harlow’s class.” She said as they got up to where Harlow’s door was and she gave Heather a small hug before heading in and Cole waved to her. “Nice meeting you.” Cole said as she headed in with Clary. -- Ez took a deep breath before walking into the Bloodlust classroom, immediately spotting Logan. She had promised Clary she’d keep and eye on him, but it wasn’t until she got up to him that she realized how baked he was. After he had made a comment about her looking like his friend Ez. She shook her head. “Might be because I am your friend Ez.” His reaction to finding out it was actually her made her genuinely smile and she nodded. “Yeah, and this time I won’t be pulling any disappearing acts.” She waved a little to Zach. “Nice to meet you.” She said and she had to cover her mouth with her hand when she saw Logan poke his nose. Then he said he thought Zach was high and she couldn’t contain it, “Oh, honey, I want whatever you’re on. I need to feel that good.” She said, and she just smiled a bit more before Ravenwood started the lesson. This class was just progressively getting better as it went on, and she looked at Logan when he told her that ‘intimate activities’ meant sex. She whispered back, “I know, Lo.” Then Ravenwood seemed to have caught it and the collective laughter from Logan’s answer was great, but Ez had to put her head down once he told Ravenwood to picture him. She couldn’t get over his lack of a filter, but once she calmed down she spoke. “He’s not entirely on the wrong path. Mental blocks work very well, as well as other physical activities such as running and weight training. Other methods of curbing triggers could also include eating, but it depends on the trigger.” Ez could have went on for days about curbing bloodlust, seeing as she didn’t have any issues with it aside from when she was angry, but even then her dragon half was more dominant than anything. If it hadn’t been required she take this class because she was half vampire, she wouldn’t be. Her eyes scanned over to Jackie who wasn’t far from them, and she looked over at Logan and whispered, quietly. “Tell me that you’re not with bitchpire anymore. Last I’d heard, you were.” -- Harlow leaned on the front of his desk as the rest of the students filed in. Billie was finishing up putting the assignment on the board as everyone handed it in as they entered. He sighed, and once they were all seated he began. “Alright class, we’re going to spend the first ten minutes going over any questions you had from the assignment last night before we move on to the next part of the lesson. Also, for those of you who will need tutoring or study sessions, I will have days I conduct my study session s on the board in the morning as well as a list of tutors. The best person to ask other than myself, is Billie.” He said and he watched as Billie sat down in her seat and began grading the assignments from last night with his answer key. As if she didn’t already know the answers anyway. He didn’t want her doing too much this class period, seeing as though his sixth period class she would be teaching herself so he didn’t have to cancel it and put them behind. He had his lesson plan ready for her and he walked over to the board and began explaining last night’s assignment, seeing a few people take notes as he did and a few just kind of put their heads down. Well he knew of a few students that were already failing then. Once he was done he began his lesson. “Can anyone here tell me the significance of the modifiers that are put on the Old Demonic language?” he asked, and once he saw a hand go up he pointed. “Yes, Miss Martin.” Randa smiled. “Modifiers change the base symbol only slightly in appearance, but can drastically change meaning. Like, for example, if you put a silencing modifier in the symbol for purity, it would only add a small swish to how it looks, but it also would be able to silence any dark creature.” Harlow nodded. “The modifying symbols became very popular in the first angel demon wars, but have continued to show usefulness throughout the ages since. Simple modifications to any base symbol can help increase meaning of communication and in the spoken language, it often changes how the word sounds and can be extremely dangerous if modified words are said wrong.” He said, and he erased the board and continued his lesson.
