Fantastic!"
The fourteen year old broke from his stupor when he heard his name. He knew the voice as well, he did have a good memory. Looking up, he willed his lips to form a smile. It was small, but nonetheless a smile.
"Hey, Aurora," he greeted, trying to put his best face on. He went to sit next to her.
"Yeah, huh." He pulled at his tie and cursed at it in his mind. He was going to have to walk around with a constant reminded it seemed.
Trying to distract himself and not seem so sour he looked at his surroundings. It was messy. Wasn't this supposed to be like a prestigious school and stuff?
"Is always this messy?" he asked the girl beside him, as he raised an eyebrow.

"You okay?" she asked, strange someone could be this depressed so early in the term.
Kennedy raised his head and gave the girl a 'are you talking to me' look. It wasn't to be rude, he just wasn't used to people talking to him. Maybe a kick here and there, but not talking to him.
"I, um, yeah," he said, trying to erased his zombie-like expression.
Knock it off, Escalante. He reprimanded himself.
This was supposed to be like a new beginning in his life. Right? Right.
"The sorting caught me off guard," he said, feeling like if he needed to at least give an explanation.
