Was he worried his starter would get him laughed at? Or was he simply not in the mood to socialise? She couldn't blame him after the earlier fiasco. She strode alongside him into the Academic Wing, not that striding was easy when she had to stay on tiptoes to keep her balance. She tensed as she spotted two students standing outside class 2-A, looking right at the group as if they'd been waiting. The girl's smile, however, held no malice, only friendliness. Head up high, Netty returned the grin. [color=7cff30]"Hey, I'm Antoinetta, as you'll know."[/color] Not just from the name badge, but from her introduction earlier, which surely would have made quite the impression if only Zaria had been looking where she was going. At Evey's mention of the incident, Netty hid the flare of embarrassment behind a laugh. [color=7cff30]"Pffff, as if I'd let something like that get to me,"[/color] she replied. [color=7cff30]"And nobody's gonna be making fun of us later down the line."[/color] Here, at least, was one exception to those jerks by the look of it. Masaru, though... Netty wasn't sure what to make of him. Much like Troy, his quietness and neutral expression made him difficult to read. As soon as he mentioned battles, Netty bristled again, ribs tightening. The challenge she'd issued, it seemed, was swiftly coming back to haunt them. She hadn't expected Evey's response to set off even more alarm bells. Just like that, the prefect's smiles-and-sunshine demeanour had given way to a rather less pleasant one, then switched back as if nothing had happened. Netty shuffled back a step. Something about Evey reminded her of those fake friends who turned against people when their guard was down. [color=7cff30]"Yeah, we'd better get to class,"[/color] Netty answered, backing up Troy and Zaria. [color=7cff30]"Got to make sure everything goes smoothly from now on, after all. So, later!"[/color] [i]Some chance of that,[/i] she thought, holding out a Pokeball to Mellona. [color=7cff30]"Hey Mel, time to come back now, but we can look around after classes."[/color] The Combee fluttered over, letting her trainer pet her once more, then disappeared into the capsule. With that, Antoinetta marched into the classroom after Zaria, wasting no time in taking a seat.
