Silus smiled and turned to take his seat again, once he plopped down in the seat he sighed a little, obviously annoyed at the inconvenience. It's not as if the kid asked for his help...and honestly Silus wouldn't have helped him if he didn't remember how hard it was adjusting to life as a mutant. He glanced over at the kid, if he wasn't so sure that he was absolutely positive about the kid being shy he wouldn't have done that. It was unneeded attention and quite honestly Silus was already bound to get into more than enough trouble this year.

    "You're welcome." He said just loud enough for William and others near to be able to hear. His tone not exactly angry but not exactly thrilled to have helped the kid. It reflected the gesture exactly to an extent. He helped someone he didn't know simply out of the ability to sympathize with the situation. Now all he had to do was wait for Professor Calor to either chew him out, tell him to stay after class, or simply let it go. As much as he wanted it to be, he didn't think it was going to be the latter.

Of course it was unfortunate that William had to share next. Silus clenched his teeth together and drew in a breath. "Well I tried...sorry." he apologized as he opened his notebook.

"How come...we just start this class so fast?" he asked. "I mean, you don't even know everyone's names. Every school--well,every normal school--starts off their semester with 'what's your name'. But we just leap into the uncharted territory like Indiana Jones. Aren't you curious to know what their names are?"

"Sure you have a roster and you can look up the names, so are you just going to guess every name the whole day?"


Analyzing each and every word the guy just said Raven eyes widened in shock. Why does the guy have to ask that..of all questions and comments he can gave. There's three things Raven hate first was being with mutants; second was being a mutant; and lastly everything connected with mutant therefore if they was to introduce they're selves then she hated it.Thanks to the guy.

Raven frowned and when the guy name Silus finished introducing his self she stood up. "I'm Raven Sky Summers..and i'm here just to past time" she said then rolled her eyes glaring at the guy who just asked the question. She knew she was being bitchy but she can't help it...she just can't help it.

A grin spread across Athena's face as Raven took a turn in front of William as introduced herself. She was actually pleased that they were stepping up to get the introductions out of the way, whether we requested for William to speak before the others. He would get his turn before she took the last introduction. "Thank you, Raven," she said to the young woman. While her introduction was quiet....curt, and her reaction towards William showed her displeasure at what his outburst had caused. Glancing around the room, she waited for the next student to speak...

After several tense moments of waiting for the next person to say who they were, Briana took a deep breath and put her hands flat on her desk, the pen she had been rolling between her fingers beneath her hand, and stood. Giving her hair a little toss, the eye she had been hiding was able to peek through for a moment before her blonde hair covered it again. "I'm Briana. Joined the community a little over 6 years ago..." she said quickly and sat back down and resuming the motion with her pen she had been doing before. She didn't care that they were doing this little activity, but she did want it to get done and over with...

William looked at Professor Calor. She was a very hard person to read. It's like there was two sides to her. One was gentle, like you could talk to her about anything and everything and she won't turn way from helping you, but the other side to her was so much more stricter. She wasn't afraid of being strict of firm with anyone. But seeing how she was new to school, surely Athena was adjusting to the new settings herself. 

As William was walking back to his seat, she stopped him, he wasn't sure what made him stand up in  a class, for a person who was awkward in social situation, he sure made a name for himself. He looked at the floor, facing his back toward Athena. "My name is William, and you lot have already met me." he said simply, walking back to his table.

Natasha didnt get up her seat nor did she look up. She stared down at her lap with her hair hanging around her face. She used her hair to hide sometimes. She didnt want to make connections with these people. She whispered Softly. " Natasha... Natasha Petrov." Her voice was soft but her russian accent was still noticable.

Fallon simply listened. She wanted nothing more than to just go to her room and make some music but it seems she'd have to at least introduce herself to at least make some friends. Growling under her breath, she stood up after slamming her hands softly which caused some ice to form from her fingertips. "Fallon. Fallon Ivy Black. Also known as 'Freak', 'ugly', 'mute' and the one who doesn't touch but hey...Call me Fally." She said in a quiet, shy but also firm. She shot a quick smile at Silus and Brjana, her only friends in this class and sat down. Pulling her hood up, she slouched in the chair and bit her lip nervously, tasting the metallic liquid she knew was blood but she continued chewing.

A sideways grin touched Athena's lips as the rest of the crew introduced themselves. As each on said who they were, she gave them each a nod of welcome and thanks: Briana, William, Natasha, and Fallon. Moving in front of her desk, she leaned against it, placing her hands on its edge. Now it was her turn. "Thank you, all of you. This might not be Public Speaking 101, but I know how hard it is for some of you to talk in front of others. Since some of you came in late, I'm Athena Calor. Again, Athena, Professor, Professor Calor... All are fine by me. I joined the 'cause' early at the age of 10, and have been perfecting my powers since..." she said simply, wrapping up the introductions.

"Now, how about we get back to Biology," Athena said with a wink and a clap of her hands. "Kingdom: check. Next comes Phylum. As Kingdom broke life down into smaller groups, Phylum breaks those groups down even further. Living things that are grouped into Phyla generally share something in common. For example, all those life-forms that would fall under the Phylum Mollusca share what kind of characteristics?" Athena asked as she used her pointer to point to the next step on their chart as she explained. Looking out over the students, she waited for an answer with a welcome smile. These were bright students, she could feel it.

William made a face as his plan has crumbled to the ground. He wanted to extend the little break that they had to at least half the class period. But surely, that would not happen as Athena took over the class again. He had no idea what she was saying. Animal Kingdom? What? There was no such a thing in life, all animals just lived along like humans until they died...or mankind slaughtered them for food, accessories, clothing and other crap they used for everyday.

Putting his head down on his hands, William smirked in the darkness of his arms. He had an idea. Raising his head once again, he smiled as he looked at Athena, making her believe she had his complete and undivided attention. Which she did, but for how long? He looked around a classroom and noticed several bags, pens, pencils, posters, and the map to which Athena kept pointing to. He raised his hand as if he had a question and at the same time all the objects he was looking at previously had come to life, as they begun to move about the classroom. William quickly put his hand down as he giggled to himself.

"Shy guy no die." Silus said to himself with a little chuckle. The kid handled that a lot better than Silus thought he would have at least. He heard the other introduce themselves as well. Natasha, Raven, Briana, and while William sat down it seemed like the poor kid wouldn't catch much of a break. Fallon stood up and introduced herself as freak, and a ton of other crap that he really didn't believe. Stuck between depression and a jackass...the back obviously wasn't his best bet. After Fallon spoke Silus chuckled. "Well aren't we a little ray of sunshine in the world?" he asked himself with an obvious sarcasm as he began to move his books around.

   -Mollusca share what kind of characteristics?
Professor would ask. Silus knew that it was the largest phylum of invertebrate creatures, and they were some of the most neurologically developed creatures with nerve cords. That's all he really knows about them though, it was sort of pathetic but it's not like he intended on answering the question aloud. He continued to act uninterested in the class, doodling on his paper. He though he heard a little something, but when he looked he only saw the "shy guy" himself laughing or trying to keep it hidden. Silus looked around at what was so funny. His mouth curled up into a smile and he buried his face into his hand.

"Oh god..." Silus said as he snickered, trying to keep himself from being seen by anyone else. Silus' first impression seemed to be wrong...for someone so shy he was pretty much a class clown. Silus wouldn't complain about that though, the class could use a little life.

As Athena waited for an answer from the class, she noticed William look up and raised his han. Expecting an answer, she was a tad surprised when several items around the room suddenly began to move as if they had been alive all this time. Animation...William Pierce... she recalled from the roster of students. Looking back at him, she saw his hand fall and a sly smile spread across his features. Not ammused in the slightest, Athena put one hand on her hip and the other she raised in front of herself. With a small raise of one eyebrow, she snapped her fingers.

A bright blue flash of light, just like an electric shock discharge, popped just above her fingers in conjuntion with her snap. There was also the same bright flash only moments later that eminated from the rivets that connected the plastic seat to the metal base of the STOOLS used in her class. With a very audible snap, the electric charge Athena sent to William's stool discharged between the rivets and William's backside, causing a decent electric shock. Her sea-green eyes watched him to see if he got the point...

As William was laughing silently, almost letting it all out to the class, he was watching Silus; his neighbor. It was the fact that he made some objects come to life that made him laugh so much, he wasn't trying to ruin the class for everyone else, just have a little fun. So far, William had no idea what she was talking about. Animals...it was way too much information. It didn't fascinate him all that much, so William was improvising. Big time improvising. So big that...he suddenly jumped from his seat in surprise. "SHIT!" he yelled out, scratching his butt, as if he has just fell on the ground very hard. All the items he brought to life fell down to the ground, like someone just turned the switch off on all of them at once.

He was laughing so much that he completely missed the fact that he was playing on some people's nerves. Looking around, William tried to pin point where the lightning came from. But he has missed his chance to find the culprit, otherwise he would dish out some serious knuckle sandwiches. Not just one, but two. Two large ones. He didn't want to attract even more attention to himself out of embarrassment, so he quickly said, "Sorry," and took his seat again. Whoever released that lightning bolt, probably won't be too hesitant about doing it again, and William didn't want to go through that experience again.

"SHIT!"

Silus' mouth dropped but he was still smiling somehow. He looked over to their professor, and then back to the kid. He suddenly had an idea, one he REALLY wanted to use, and actually he might run with it. Though she zapped the other kid for just using his powers and disrupting the class. The kid eventually apologized and it left Silus to entertain his current idea. Silus being his oh-so jerkish self he looked to the Professor and laughed.

"Pretty sure that's considered a form of corporal punishment... just sayin'!" He said holding his hands up and shaking them like he were surrendering, or like she was some form of insane bull seeing red. He was fully prepared for this and he was fine with it. In all honesty he was almost curious as to how a true electrical strike went. Though he was very cautious, he REALLY hoped the professor had a great sense of control, because if she wasn't careful it's lethal in even it's smallest sparks...in the right place.

With an exacerbated sigh, Athena moved to her desk and sat on top of it, much in the same fashion as she was perched when class started. "Since no one is really up for Biology today, I think we will conclude here. For homework* I'd like you to please finish reading up on the chart of classification of life that we started on. You will find it on page 45 in your books. To turn in for next class, pick any living thing you wish and write down their organization from Kingdom to Species. Please have this ready to turn in at the start of next class," she said looking from student to student. She knew they were just trying her, as students did, but it still was something she didn't care for. Hopefully they would let up soon...

"You are dismissed," Athena said to them, looking long and hard at William and then Silus before tipping her head towards the door, signalling them all the 'all clear' to leave, 10 minutes before the bell to conclude the class was due to ring.

*OOC: No need to do this assignment as listed. Simply listed this as in character for what would happen in a live classroom. Next lesson will be set several classes after this one, so this lesson, although unfinished, will 'be finished' in future lessons.*

Briana was a little shocked that Professor Calor would act as she did towards William, but at the same time, she was a trying to not laugh. She wasn't going to lie, he deserved something for disrupting class, not once, but twice. When Silus voiced up, she looked quickly to the professor to see what was bound to happen. Luckily, she simply dismissed class, but gave them an assignment that may or may not have happened had the boys not been....well boys. Packing up her things, she shouldered her pack and glanced at William and Silus both before giving Fallon a small wave and heading out of class. As she passed Professor Calor she said softly, "See you next class, Professor." Briana smiled shyly at her and then exited.

"Nice man." Silus said when he placed a hand on Williams' shoulder with a smile. He let go and walked towards the door, noticing Bri and not really saying anything to her directly. Instead he went straight to the Professor and handed her a piece of paper. Silus' lack of sleep often times leads to him studying and doing practice work. Silus so far had done up to chapter four in the text book, but then again he had an early start. Either way he picked one question and it just so happened he already did the current assignment and he might as well hand in his work now and get it over with. He smiled at Professor Calor sheepishly as he handed her the folded piece of paper that was an already typed up record of dogs, primarily wolves. He waved and walked out the door, wondering what the Professor thought about him having the paper finished... it was kinda ironic how it played out, and it'll likely never happen again...but what a hell of a note to leave off on.

"At last" Raven said to herself. She was happy that her first class had ended though she was still annoyed because she have to attend some class. She was glad that everything goes smoothly in her first class but maybe only for her because even though she was not really participating she noticed that there was somewhat a misunderstanding or something between her professor and one of her classmate. But she doesn't care...she never did.

Fallon smirked and hid her laugh easily when William seemed to be zapped after using his, what seemed to be, animation power. Listening to Athena, she sighed thankful that biology was over. All she could really remember from her past life that she did in fact enjoy biology but not this. More of genes and all that crap. Pulling out some gloves from her pocket, she slipped them on and grabbed her bags before smiling at Silus and Briana, her only friends in this class as they escaped the room that seemed to be suffocating for Fallon. It was her turn to escape and she was glad to do so. ''Till next class, Professor.'' She muttered and practically ran out the room, narrowly missing someone and went into her dorm.

Athena nodded to Briana as she exited. Then her sea-green eyes focused a slip of paper held out to her by Silus. Taking it in her hand, she flipped it so she could read it. A smile spread across her face as she read his classification of wolf from Kingdom to Species, just as she had just asked only moments ago. Looking up at him, she nodded and said, "Thank you, Silus. Very good..." Athena wasn't going to lie, she was very impressed with the young man. As the others filed out, she nodded her byes to all of them. Maybe things will work out after all...
