New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

"I don't know if I should, I haven't exactly made a lot of friends today." He says with a sigh, "this place is so different from where I grew up, I don't know if I will be able to stay here."

Layla nods. "You know, it might not seem that way, but you and I are alike that way." She pauses. considering her next thought. "I can apologize for what I did, but I can't undo it, I know exactly what you're talking about. Made me mad, actually, I thought it was intentional hatred, but I think it's really just some confusion. You should give it a chance, you might find out that these people here aren't really much different from you."

"Wouldn't ask you to act like anything else." Cody responds, quickly, "You're flashy, you practically admit as much. That's never impressed me before." the teen says evenly.

"And you're actually pretty good at making a first impression, I think, but you do come off very strongly. I'm not going to bow and proclaim you 'pack leader', but I wouldn't mind getting to know the actual you. Assuming you can put up with my own personality quirks..."

"I'm just me, you either like me or you don't" the teen mimics, turning the phrase a little but giving a kind smile.

Emmet sighed, focusing on his food. Typical. Why not just invite all forty students to accompany us? We can rent a bus. There was a reason I never joined the large clustering of students after the speech.

"Well Nick, you seem quite adept at conveying the relevant aspects of your personality within seconds of initial interpersonal contact," Emmet remarks. "By the way, what company does your father lead...I have probably heard of it. Speaking of our trip to the mall, Manjit, do you remember what the brochures stated about our transportation options? I have not yet managed to design that teleportation device."

I will not have to put up with him for very long in any case. In town, he will no doubt spend all his time flirting with girls and stuffing his face. A larger group might actually work to my advantage, increasing the probability of our separation to cover grounds of personal interest.

"I'm just me, you either like me or you don't" the teen mimics, turning the phrase a little but giving a kind smile.

“No worries man, I understand,” Nick replies to Cody.

He gives Emmett a quizzical look not really understanding the flow of words but figures the kid is trying to be a smartass of some kind. Nick shrugs it off and responds to the part he did understand, “GRB Studios*, he makes video games and stuff like that.”

Hey you better wear something nice tonight, going to be lot of students going out tonight, Nick thinks to Layla.

Nick stands, “Well guys and gals I guess I will see you all later.” He slides from his current position to stand next to Jerry. He throws his arm over Jerry’s shoulder with a smirk, “Hey Clo, Trilly… I am not sure if I met the rest. Name’s Nick, I see you have already met one of my good mates, Jerry. So we going downtown tonight or not?”

* GRB Studios, Gamma Ray Burst Studios, makes console and computer games usually Sci-Fi RPGs, they also make a variety of casual space themed puzzle games playable for free online. They are currently producing an MMO based on their own IP they use for their series of sci fi RPGs, Spiral Arms. His Father is Anthony Walters, founder of GRB Studios.

Layla nods. "You know, it might not seem that way, but you and I are alike that way." She pauses. considering her next thought. "I can apologize for what I did, but I can't undo it, I know exactly what you're talking about. Made me mad, actually, I thought it was intentional hatred, but I think it's really just some confusion. You should give it a chance, you might find out that these people here aren't really much different from you."

"I never backed down from a fight before, no sense startin now." He replies with a shrug, "even if it is a losing fight. Sure, count me in."

Nick stands, “Well guys and gals I guess I will see you all later.” He slides from his current position to stand next to Jerry. He throws his arm over Jerry’s shoulder with a smirk, “Hey Clo, Trilly… I am not sure if I met the rest. Name’s Nick, I see you have already met one of my good mates, Jerry. So we going downtown tonight or not?”

Jerry took the arm over his shoulder as a pleasant surprise and shot Nick a smile. Is he coming on to me? That could be nice.

Manjit shrugs at Emmet's question. "I think there are institute vehicles, but I doubt they will just let us take one. Cabs, bus, walk? I'm not sure. The central commercial area is probably too far to walk in less than a half hour," she surmises.

"Hi Nick, Stacy. That's Josee" the blonde introduces herself and the french girl, who nods at him. "Sounds like we're in. Whatcha got in mind?"

 

[Agamon]

"I never backed down from a fight before, no sense startin now." He replies with a shrug, "even if it is a losing fight. Sure, count me in."

"Sounds good, I think it'll be fun," Layla tells him. "Nick, we have one more. And are you saying there's something wrong with what I'm wearing?" she teases, changing her focus to Nick.

 

[Vanifae]

"Hi Nick, Stacy. That's Josee" the blonde introduces herself and the french girl, who nods at him. "Sounds like we're in. Whatcha got in mind?"

“Stacy, Josee; the pleasure is all mine,” Nick smiles, “I figure we can try and see the night life, get some shopping in… for the ladies of course. Get some hot outfits, maybe sneak into a club, maybe indulge in under-age intoxication… you know typical mainstream teenager antics,” his voice taking on a semi-serious tone before breaking into a killer smile.

“I can drive so if we can find a vehicle, we are golden… unless we need something lame like a chaperone,” he glances to Jun Min, “Oh man I wonder if there is a lake around here or a beach… I am terrible at geography but a little late night swimming… some refreshments, loud music, all the makings of a serious party,” Nick smirks.

“What do you think Jerry?” he turns to his buddy removing his arm, “sound good to you?”

 

[Vanifae]

"Nick, we have one more. And are you saying there's something wrong with what I'm wearing?" she teases, changing her focus to Nick.

Whoa, no way, what you have on is perfectly good; don’t change on my account. But I would watch out for those other guys who see a cute girl like you and only have ONE thing on their mind. But then again not everyone can be as sophisticated as me. But then I can’t blame them, you don’t meet hot exotic women every day, Nick smirks, shaking his head at his own joke.
