Snippet #1376556

One thing was for sure: the Academy was even more impressive up close. From what he'd seen so far, this place could easily accomodate a small planet's-worth of boarders, and that was excluding the rooms for actual classes. The place even had it's own pool. Jim must've still been suffering from jetlag, though, 'cause he could've sworn one of the girls who'd been using it had a tail...

Which led to the one thing he wasn't particularly fond of here: the other students. It wasn't that he thought they were snobby or stuck up (which they easily could've been). In fact he'd yet to even talk to anybody. That was the thing. Everybody already knew everybody else, the cliques had already been formed, and for them, things just picked up where they'd left off at the end of last year. Not for Jim, though. He was the new guy, the outcast. He didn't have a place in the status quo yet, and from the looks of it, nobody intended to reach out and offer him one.

Jim scowled at the thought. Well, what'd he care? He didn't need to make friends, especially not with any of these guys. That's what Morph was for, and besides, he preffered his time alone. It was what he was used to. And what, did he really expect for someone to come running up to greet--

WHAM!!

Wondering what exactly karma had against him, Jim groaned as he sat up, rubbing the back of his neck. "Hey! Why don't you watch where you're--" He cut off when the jerk who'd decked him ran off again, yelling something about his academic achievement being at stake. Jim raised an eyebrow. Wow, students here must really care about school work. He rolled his eye, climbing back to his feet. Just great; he'd ended up in a school full of nerds. Ones who don't know how to watch where they're going. Luckily, nothing had fallen out of his bag and his surfer was still in one piece. So the only thing missing was...

"Morph?" The teen glanced around, searching for any sign of a floating pink blob. "Come on, Morph, this's no time for hide and seek." Starting to get worried, he checked the pockets of both his pants and his jacket, then finally his pack. When he got scared, the little shapeshifter would sometimes hide in his bag.

'...or anyone else's,' he realized. "Well, that figures," he muttered bitterly before taking off after the guy who'd knocked him over. "Hey! Wait up!"

((@jackrules: Jim hasn't actually gotten to the dorm yet, he's currentlychasing after Flynn, who unknowingly has Morph in his bag of stolen test answers. ...A lot can happen in a few posts ^^;
Also, I was thinking that since we've got three girls and three guys so far, we can have three people to each dorm and everyone can be roommates. All in favor, say 'aye'!!))
