Erik spent the remainder to the night reviewing his notes for the following school day. Given that he had already gone through the textbooks and annotated them as needed with post it notes, Erik did not feel like this was truly necessary, but was a big believer in being ready for any issues. He added a few quick notes underneath one particular complex piece of chemistry they would study sometime next semester and then it was time for bed. As he landed on the bed, he found himself asleep almost immediately as he was enveloped in the most comfortable mattress he had ever felt. 

The next day, Erik's alarm went off around 5 in the morning. Quickly tossing on a long sleeved sweatsuit, he went out for his morning jog, enjoying the sight of his new campus. After receiving an appropriate amount of exercise, he began his morning maintenance routine. He took a long time moving from the shower, applying his face scrub, using a moistener for his face skin, putting on eye cream, and many more small details that ensured that each and everyday, Erik looked his best. The final step of his routine was the spot check. Erik leaned forward, staring deeply into the contents of his mirror making sure his hair, face, body, and clothes were all perfect. He grinned at his reflection in satisfaction and gave himself a lavish wink.

The classes began that Monday, some trying to gauge his knowledge, others just setting up the minor details they would need to have memorized to continue. None of it was particularly challenging given his prep work, he was certain he had scored perfectly on the math pre-text for instance. The most exciting development though was Alex Pearson accepting his invitation to sit with him during their shared classes. Although he did not show it on his face, he was thrilled. One of his concerns is that the high class students at the academy would see him as a toy they could play with given their difference in socio-economic levels. However, by quickly establishing friendship with such a high profile celebrity, Erik believed that he would quickly find acceptance into their circles. No one was likely to embarrass themselves in front of a celebrity with such a large following he could use to attack them after all.

To his minor surprise, Angie also accepted his invitation to sit with him and he made sure to quickly introduce the pair, keeping things light. Angie was one of the more complicated individuals he had seen at the academy, and he was not certain how well his introduction yesterday had worked out. The girl seemed to keep things close to the chest, giving only very small facial cues and using an advanced vocabulary in her speech. Erik was not uncertain of her background or how she could prove to be useful to him quite yet, but at the moment was simply content to have a familiar person nearby. As it turned out, they shared the same class schedule on Monday.

When Alex returned his water bottle, Erik made a small show of thoroughly, but jokingly inspecting it for dirt. [color=39b54a]"I suppose this meets my standards."[/color] He grinned at Alex and followed up with [color=39b54a]"Seriously thanks for returning it so quickly. Let me know if you ever want to meet up and go over some of these classes!"[/color]

When Angie moved to sit beside them, Erik glanced at her attire before leaning over and whispering, [color=39b54a]"Nice to see you again Angie. Cool hair."[/color] Then class began and Erik shifted into work mood. Erik's hand flew across his exam as he solved problem after problem with no hesitation. In other classes, Erik used shorthand to quickly make note of exactly what the teacher said. To anyone else, his paper probably looked by gibberish given he had made it personally for himself, but it gave him plenty of time to reflect on what he had learned. When he was done for the day, he waved goodbye to his new friends and headed out.

Stretching his arms above his head, he glanced around wondering where to go from here. His homework, while important, was a not pressing priority given its simplicity. Instead, he decided to have a bite to eat. He entered the cafeteria and loaded his tray with healthy food that was still miles better in taste compared to what he had had to eat in the past. He looked around the cafeteria, it was not particularly busy yet. As he looked around however, he noted that one of the students from his dorm was off eating by himself. Erik moved forward towards him.

Stopping in front of the boy, Erik gave him a friendly smile and said, [color=39b54a]"You are Tyler, right? I live in the same dorm building as you. I am Erik. Would it be alright if I sat down?"[/color]
