The fact that yin returned her smile made Alexa’s heart sing.

“I know they said high school is hard, but that a whole nother thing!” Alexa did want to have in slip away. Deep down, she felt like this girl had to be a good person, she worked so hard to keep others safe.

“You bossy? No, so don’t worry. I’m just glad we got as many people out unharmed.” Alexa said as she waved her hands defensively. “I’m still surprised i made it through the exam. I felt this strong sensation to…”

‘May I shouldn’t say anything about wanting to quit in the very beginning. Heroes don’t say things like that, Do they?’

“Your rift was amazing. How does it work? I’ve never seen a strong quik like that before.” The enthusiasm was spilling out as she got a little closer.

Sometimes her excitement could be a lot to take in. She knew that about herself, but it was hard for her to maintain sometimes. Before she could recoil and bring down her excitement, slam!

Alexa’s eyes went wide as she lost her footing. What the hell hit her? 

‘What the?! So embarrassing!’

She felt her bag fly off her arm as she tried to right herself. There was no point though. She let the fall happen.

“Oof!” She was loud as she hit the ground. Her eyes were closed tight.   

It took her a minute to settle down and open her eyes. She saw a red headed kid with glasses in front of her. He must have been the one to hit her. Her eyes narrowed in on him as she got up quickly. He was super apologetic which made her feel a lot better.  He was familiar too, but why.

“No no, I’m fine. Don’t worry. “ Alexa said quietly, she took his hand. 

‘Strong grip.’

Alexa returned his smile as she let him help her up. 
‘Herito?...Why does that sound familiar.’ The wheels in her head turned. Something bothered her about that name. What was it? Finally it came to her.  ‘The experimentation kid!’

Her smile remained the same as she got to her feet. When she stood up, she was ready to introduce herself to him. Then a loud beeping went off and he was gone soon after.

‘Saved by the bell.’

“Sorry about that Yin.” She said as she bent over to pick up her bag. She didn’t pay it any mind as she slipped it over her shoulder.

Once she had her bag, she listened to Yin’s question. It made her think for a sec.

“I’m going to be honest. I think I did terribly. I was hoping to take out a few robots, but I had to focus on saving people. Not that i regret doing so...I just hope they give us a break. I mean I really tried hard, but I don’t know.”

Before she could feel sorry for herself, she heard someone leaving the classroom. Alexa snapped her head when she saw the other student. She would give him a big smile.

“ We were just talking about what we thought about it. Didn’t seem too too hard.” She hadn’t seen this guy before. 

‘Maybe he was in a completely different section of the physical exam.’

“Yeah practical exams don’t exactly measure up to what we were up against yesterday. No matter how hard you study. I’m Alexa by the way.” Her voice was cheerful, then she pointed toward Yin. “This is Yin.”
