Dude, Where's My Classroom? (Mathis)

This was her first day of classes at Hammel, and Riana was not only determined to make the most of it, but she planned to enjoy it too. She had eaten a big breakfast, put on her faborite outfit, (a plain, bright red shirt matched with a lair of light blue jeans), and left her dorm humming an upbeat tune.

If only she knew where her classes were. Good thing Riana had befriended someone who could help. His friendliness was marched only by her confusion. Riana tok out her phone and texted Mathis. 

Matty? Riana here. I know its early in the morning, but how about we continue that tour?

Riana was one of those weird teenagers who texted with good grammer. She hoped Mathis didn't mind.

For now, Riana was content on leaning on the wall of a nearby building as she waited for a response.

Mathis had already been up for three hours when Riana texted him. Which might seem like an insane amount of time for anyone that didn't know the energetic mimic, or was unaware of his hectic schedule. A self imposed schedule at that. He somehow managed to balance competing in basketball, volunteering with Abraham, cooking his roommates and friends food, the Culinary Club, the Environmental Awareness Club, maintaining physically fit and attending "Not A Victim", being on the Student Council, decent grades, and having a social life. To put it mildly Mathis never had a dull moment.

He'd gotten up at five a.m. to go for his daily jog around Hammel then returned to his dorm to take a shower and whip up some breakfast for himself and his roommates. Granted the only one he was really cooking for was Damion but he left some out for Oth and he assumed the other, who he had yet to meet, ate them because the plate he left was always in the sink when he returned after classes.

At the time Riana texted him Mathis was busy shoving in his half completed homework into his already over flowing bag, making a vow to himself that he'd carve out time to find a teacher to help him out. The vow was completely forgotten as he picked up his phone and gave it a wide grin before texting back.

4 sure!! Whr u @? Met @ Dorms?

Mathis had no problem forgoing grammar when he was texting, just because when having to manually type it made things simpler to just shorten everything as much as possible. He gently shoved his phone back in his pocket and shoved the last of his food in his mouth before racing for the dorm doors, eager to help out a friend. Plus he was pretty sure he had promised to help her so it was imperative that he do so. The young mimic was still chewing as he slid to a stop.

Not sure where I am lol. Dorms sound good

After texting Mathis back Riana began heading back the way she came. Soon she found herself in front of the dorms, and a familiar face was in front of them. Riana waved toward Mathis before walking up to him with a grin on her face. She noticed how he was chewing on something. Probably breakfast or gum.

"Hey. How's it going?"

[Mathis Reeves]

Smokey blue eyes roamed the area around the dorms, picking up on all the movement around him. There were students milling about everywhere; in packs, alone, paired off. Eventually he noticed the brown haired girl he'd met the other day coming towards him. Making quick work of chewing the rest of his food, he swallowed thickly and gave her an excited wave.

"Hey there, Riana!" He called cheerfully, pushing his backpack further up on his shoulder. "I'm doin' real good. How 'bout you?" It was easy enough for Mathis to small talk, since saying everything and saying nothing at all was his strong suit. "Oh, right! Mind if I take a real quick peek at your schedule? I'll figure out where you're headed."

[Riana Skye]

"I'm doing great", Riana said with a smile.

When Mathis asked to see her schedule, Riana replied with "Sure" and reached into her pocket to bring out her schedule. She glanced at it for a second, before handing it to Mathis.

Her schedule contained the usual Math, English, and Science classes. It also included Physical Education, World History, and Spanish class. Her electives were Home Ec and Music Studies.

After handing Mathis the schedule, Riana continued with the small talk. She absent mindly hooked her thumbs into her jeans as she spoke, "What's your schedule look like?"

[Mathis Reeves]

Mathis studied the schedule handed to him, mentally comparing the two schedules (his and hers) to see what classes they shared. It seemed like they shared the English and Home Ec but as for the rest of it... He wasn't too sure.

He shot her a careful grin before reciting his class list from memory. Granted this wasn't in order. "Well I take honors trig, earth science, recent american history, English II, fitness, home ec, and personal finance." With that he smiled, starting to walk to the classroom building. "Lets go!"

((Super short... sorry))

[Riana Skye]

(OOC: All good))

Riana nodded as Mathis listed off his schedule. It seemed as though the mimic took a few more complicated classes than her, but maybe they would get a class together. Riana hoped so, it would be difficult to walk into a classll of complete strangers.

As Riana followed Mathis to the classroom building, nerves tingled in her gut. Attending a new school made her nervous. There were so many things that could go wrong, so many things that would be different.

Riana clenched her fists. Why was she worrying so much? Usually she felt confident enough to just accept change as it happened, but a new home, new friends, and now new school seemed like a lot of change. She unclenched her fists and relaxed a little, it's not like worrying is going to help anything.

"So Mr. Tour Guide", Riana began with a bright smile, "Where are we starting?"

[Mathis Reeves]

It wasn't that Mathis had more advanced classes -though when it came to his math he was at the second highest class available- but that he was a junior. Soon to become a senior. He'd spent a lot of time at Hammel to get to the place he was academically and even though he'd failed an english class there was still hope he'd graduate on time.

Mathis bounced happily to the classroom building, not really taking notice of the girl's nerves. He'd never had a problem with being in new situations, nor did he think he ever would have a problem. After all the mimic was a people pleaser through and through. The idea was foreign that he would have problems in new places with new people.

"Well y'see classes actually start in 'bout ten minutes so we're just gunna head ta your first class and maybe one on the way." He explained cheerfully, glancing back to smile brightly at her. "So! What grade are you?"
