Snippet #1377193

Jim knew this place was going to be weird when the guy he'd been chasing was suddenly decked by a flying green blur that turned out to be another student. The teen blinked, trying to process the sudden burst of weirdness. "Ooookaaay, that just happened." Once he got over the shock and confusion, though, it was actually pretty amusing. Maybe karma didn't hate him after all: it just had a weird way of getting things done. While the impromptu 'hero' flew off (quite literally) to chat with a girl in a purple dress, Jim was finally able to close the gap between himself and the guy who'd run him over and inadvertantly kidnapped his friend. Panting slightly, he was greeted by the sight of said friend zipping around like the little maniac he was. He groaned, knowing the little shapeshifter wouldn't calm down unless he caught him first. But every time he went to grab the pink blob, Morph slipped right through hid fingers. "Morph, hold still!" Despite the situation, he couldn't keep the laughter out of his voice.

"Hold still! Hold still!" echoed the slightly muffled voice. It was only then that Jim noticed the piece of paper in the protoplasm's mouth. That he was able to grab. It was a test paper, but all of the answers had been filled in already and the words "Answer Key" occupied the space for the name. Jim scanned the page before glancing up at the older student, eyebrow raised. "You stole test answers? It's only the first day of school, are you really flunking that badly?" There was no denying it, though; his respect for the other guy had just gone up a little bit. He wasn't a nerd, just a kleptomaniac!

Jim looked up as someone headed towards them, a girl who looked a bit older than himself. He also noticed another girl at an empty table glancing up at them from a journal every now and then. He suddenly felt awkward, hoping she hadn't seen chasing after Morph. God, he must've looked like a total idiot. Way to make a first impression. "Yeah, he tried to steal my pet, for one thing," he joked dryly, answer the brunette girl on Flynn's behalf and handing her the sheet. He liked to think of it as payback for getting knocked over earlier.
