Claire found it increasingly hard to concentrate in class, despite it being Calculus 1, which was her forte. She and Ace had just closed a problematic Hot Spot the night before, and unfortunately the two of them and Professor Connors had little luck in determining what the cause was for the sudden spike in Shadow activity. Deciding that it wasn't worth worrying about now, she channelled her frustration into the worksheet she had in front of her, and solved the practice problems with ease. She was a little off-put that Mr. Sanders, her math teacher, had the whole class doing review packets for the AP exam, but then again half the class was not taking her route of moving on to Calc 2, so she settled for a little sigh of exasperation.
As she put the finishing touches (+C's, mainly) on her worksheet, she strode to the front of the class and handed it in. "Is that all for today, Mr. Sanders?"
"Yes, I believe it is. You're free to go, Miss Stones."
Giving Mr. Sanders a warm smile, she grabbed her purse and left the room. As she walked out, she could feel her Evoker, which, against Professor Connors' recommendation, she carried as a security blanket, through purse, and her thoughts turned to Ace.
She had been friends with him ever since they had arrived at JA, and the past three months served to deepen their relationship from friends to partners. While they were excellent students in the Academy by day, they purged the evil Shadows from the streets by night. Despite her exhaustion, she was excited to see him again today and ask if they had any SEES activities planned for this evening.
She stopped at her locker to check her hair and makeup, because no matter Ace's answer for today, she had a free afternoon, and she had to hurry out to catch the latest American Eagle one-day sale. Once she finished touching up her pale red lipstick, she decided that was enough, and as she shut her locker slowly, students started to pour out of the classrooms as the day officially ended. She spotted Ace in his usual spot by the stairwell, strode over to him, and hugged him tightly, but playfully.
"Hey, did we have anything planned for....*giggle* club tonight?" she asked, respecting the agreement the 3 of them made when SEES was founded to make their activities seem as innocuous as possible.
