Snippet #1219996

Light streamed in from the white-curtained window across the room from Marie's bed and as the rays hit her eyelids, she stirred and began to rustle beneath the sheets. It didn't take long for the rising sun to bring Marie out of her bed; dragging the duvet with her for warmth as she searched for her school uniform. "Bloody hell, I need some coffee..." She muttered sleepily in an English accent continuing the search. Finding the uniform neatly pressed and folded over a pile of chaotically stacked computer parts she dragged herself to the bathroom her eyes barely open.

Quickly hopping into the large shower she turned the water to as warm as would go, steam coating the mirrors and window within the bathroom as Marie took her time waking up. Not to soon after she'd gotten into the shower, she was stepping out again, hot water beading off her fair skin. Her long jet black hair sticking to her, reaching down to a little past her shoulders. She dried quickly, allowing her hair to air dry as she dressed and readied herself for her day. She wasn't exactly running late, but time wasn't on her side. Placing her glasses on her face she decided she was ready for the day.


Arriving at the fifth Sectors Academy Marie frowned. She had barely made it in time. Looking the pristine academy up and down the place could be much much worse but she still didn't like it. She had always hated school, it required too much work. But she still couldn't break her vow of neutrality she had made when she had come to Advent City. It was this place that had made her life that much better and it was the promise of all those things being taken away from her if she didn't rank well enough that made her work that much harder. On the bright side at least she had a sponsor meeting with Win-tech that would get her out of class later.

Avoiding eye contact with all the other students she walked briskly to her desk, keeping her vision in a straight line as she sat down with a straight back. She wasn't much for conversation and just preferred to get the show on the road. It may have seemed cold but it also kept the other students from harassing her, she couldn't afford dropping any ranks right now. Making herself seem like a predator and not prey kept most from picking fights with her for ranking and it also meant that no one realized how physically helpless she truly was. Zoning out as she waited for class to start she hooked into the schools surveillance system and began to look around. It was amazing what things people sometimes did when they thought no one was watching. It was also amazing some of the things Marie knew because of this.
