New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

Layla notices John enter the cafeteria. She sighs, bites her lip, gets up and walks over to his table. "Hi. Do you mind if I sit down?" she asks him.

John puts down the burger that he was about bite into. "Not at all. Ms. Layla, right?" He responds as he stands pulling out the seat next to him, only sitting after she has sat down.

"I reckon this isn't a friendly visit? Something on your mind?"

"Thank you, but no, I think I it will be good enough," Josee replies, pulling a brush through the hair a few more times once her shoes are on. She grabs her purse and says, "Shall we?"

"Probably the wiser choice." Clover agrees, and then rises from where she was sitting on her bed. She was mostly unpacked at this oint, and the rest could wait until after lunch, or whenever. The british girl leads the way out to the lobby where Stacey and Trilly were waiting for her.

"Hi guys, this fine lady is Josee, my roommate, she is going to be joining us for lunch." Clover says to the American girls before turning back to Josee. "Josee, these are Trilly and Stacey. We met earlier and went for a work out together after the opening speech."
 

He adds, “Don’t let me interrupt your meal though, spaghetti is serious business.”

Raph nods, agreeing with that assessment, and goes back to eating.

Emmet leans closer to Manjit and Cody, then jokes under his breath, "I wonder whether the scientist was describing his abilities or his mind." Infinitely dense.

Manjit doesn't reply, but covers her mouth with her hand to hide the smile.

"Hi. Nice to meet you. Stacy is from the west coast, a California girl an I'm a small town southern girl so I'm sure we've got all sorts of misconceptions about each other. Not to mention we all got these nifty powers to talk about and show off." Trilly says with a wide grin as she offers her hand to the french girl.

"I reckon this isn't a friendly visit? Something on your mind?"

"Thank you," Layla says sitting down, surprised by the gentlemanliness. She smiles at the 'something on your mind' comment. "I was hoping for a friendly visit, actually. My apology at gunpoint earlier today was hardly heartfelt, so I'm trying again.

"What I did was wrong, no excuse for it. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, but I hope you accept my apology. And though I understand that it means nothing to you at this point, I won't do it again."
 

"Hey Nick, nice to meet you. My name is Emmet," he says, not bothering to even try to smile. He raises an eyebrow questioningly. "So your query is whether or not Raph and Jerry are heading into town tonight...seconds after you include yourself in a pre-existing plan to head into town, formulated by the very people you are asking?"

Emmet leans closer to Manjit and Cody, then jokes under his breath, "I wonder whether the scientist was describing his abilities or his mind." Infinitely dense.
Nick laughs, “Yeah trust me, when your mom is a PhD and your dad runs his own software development company… your grandparents, uncles, and cousins are medical doctors… well yeah being an average B to C student makes you the dumbest in the family. Sometimes I swear I must have been swapped at birth. But what I lack in brains I make up with looks and incredible athletic ability so I don’t complain.”

“Infinitely Dense,” he laughs again, “That is pretty funny dude.”

Josee accepts Trilly's hand, but she can tell she's not really one for shaking hands. Trilly feels a very slight jolt of energy as they touch, just enough to notice it. "A pleasure," she says.

"Wow, those are totally cute outfits, girls. I feel like a total slob," Stacy jokes. She looks at the buffet tables. "Quite the spread, hey?"

"A buffet? How quaint," Josee says.

"Ah.. well I just got a clue to your abilities." Trilly says as she walks with the girls. She looks to Stacy. "Relax there Beach Bunny.. you're still better outfitted than me. Hey, don't knock the buffet.. tis the height of southern sunday after church culture." Trilly says to Josee with a grin to show she's hamming it up.

"And modesty!" Jerry laughed.

"The way I see it is everyone makes mistakes, it wouldn't be right not to accept an apology from someone who seems to be sincere." He says with a shrug, "besides it couldn't have been easy to swallow your pride and come over to say your sorry again." He adds with a smile.
