… Does everyone have their forms up?

I believe, you guys were just waiting on me, right?

I fiink so.

Yeah, I think that's everyone. Give me a sec to type up a starter.

Awesome!

"Good morning class," Mrs. Thade said, trying to get the attention of her eleventh-grade physics class. Linnea turned around from talking to Amanda Tillie about prom and focused on Mrs. Thade and the kid who was standing next to her. "We have a new student who will be joining us. Let's give a warm welcome to . . . Maruma Ley - liar." Mrs. Thade clapped a few times and the class clapped along half-heartedly. "I believe there is an empty seat next to Ms. Belis, here, so why don't you have a seat." As soon as the girl started to walk away Mrs. Thade started to speak. "Now class, please open your textbooks to. . . . "

As she opened her textbook Linnea leaned over to the new kid. "Hi," she said, smiling. "I'm Linnea."

Leah looked up from her seat in the back of the classroom. Usually, she would be taking a nap during her TA period for Mrs. Thade, but today her routine was interrupted by the introduction of a new kid. Huh… interesting… She tossed a few braids back behind her shoulder to cover up her motion of getting her phone out and taking a few discrete photos for later reference. Maruma… what an odd name. I wonder where she came from… Lead tried her best to keep her face neutral as she pondered over the subject that is the new kid.

River nudged Leah's shoulder, giving a smirk at Leah's motion and taking photos. "The new kid seems interesting, no?" They signed with a smirk on their face, giving a silent laugh. Like Leah, they also took out their phone, opting to play games on it instead of taking pictures. They would usually be looking over plans for the play but they left their script in their first theatre period.

Maruma gently corrected the teacher who had a wonderful surname. All of the humans had such cute names! It put a smile on her face as she went to go sit down, getting comfortable with her cloth pouch, called a bookbag, between her legs. She looked up when she was talked to and smiled brightly with her blunt teeth shining in the light of the classroom.
"Hi! I'm Maruma."

Misha bounced his leg impatiently and twirled his pencil, trying his best to focus on his textbook. He was normally pretty distracted and bouncy, but two cups of coffee and the fact that there was a new kid at the school kept him especially unfocused. He sighed and ran painted nails through his hair, keeping his eyes trained on the words in his book, though none of them made much sense at the moment.

"Heh, yeah. I suppose so," Leah let out a light chuckle and responded in a low voice. Truth is, she didn't necessarily want to talk or start a conversation with someone new to get to know them. These photos she just took? Her card to getting to know someone without actually talking to them. New Kid here was no exception to that. She instinctually looked over at River's phone to watch them play games as the wheels in her head were grinding away. She tried to keep her ears open to listen in to whatever conversations might be going on involving this Maruma.

"Hi! I'm Maruma."

"That's a cool name," Linnea said, smiling. She pulled out a pencil and then leaned over, to be closer to the girl. "Where are you from?"

Malfus looked up from his textbook briefly, and then did a double take.
A new kid? At this time of the year? It was possible but rare. He watched the new student sit beside Linnea and sat up in his chair. Right now obviously wasn't the time to introduce himself, but he knew Linnea would invite the girl to their table for lunch.

Hmmmm…..Maruma…

Maruma's smile relaxed slightly to match Linnea's, heeding her parent's word to not be too enthusiastic. Humans didn't like that.
"Thank you. I am from… Afghanistan."

Cleo blinked her black lined eye owlishly at the new student. She had subtly tucked her earphones in under her heavy waves and was currently listening to a track that had drowned out the speech Mrs. Thade had given. The new girl seemed nice enough. All smiles and chipper. Cleo remained impassive, looking back down to doodle on her notebook. She had finished the work for this section already so she was ultimately bored.
Malfus, who was sitting next to Cleo on her left, looked curiously intrigued by the new girl. That was enough to pique Cleo's interest. She nudged him softly, raising her brows, and leaning over to write a little question mark on a loose piece of paper that he had on his desk.

(I hope it's cool that I made them kinda BFFs already. They seem like they'd be thick as thieves personality/aesthetic wise.)

"You want to play? You can connect with your phone." They signed, pausing their game and tracing Leah's eyes to the new kid. Maruma, was it? Oh, I don't remember, it was something of the sort. I'm going to call her Maru, yeah, only in my head though. River mused as they waited for a response from their friend.

Maruma's smile relaxed slightly to match Linnea's, heeding her parent's word to not be too enthusiastic. Humans didn't like that.
"Thank you. I am from… Afghanistan."

“Oh!” Linnea said with a smile. “Why did you decide to move here? If you don’t mind!” she added quickly. Linnea knewshe had a tendency to talk too much and some people didn’t always want to talk as much as she did b

Afghanistan she says… Leah tumbled over this new bit of information in the gaggle of cogs that made up her mind. She was pulled back to reality for a bit at River's questioning hands. All she did in response was nod her head and bring out her phone to connect and play with River. Her mind was too busy to talk normally at the moment so why bother trying.

(Fucking mood)

(lmaoo I lost my shit at that and started coughing from laughing so hard oml)

River clapped their hands silently, a small smile lighting up their face. They grabbed their friends phone and quickly typed in the password to the game they were playing, a vibration running through the phone to signify a connection. "And… Done!" They signed after they handed Leah back her phone.

Maruma smiled faintly at the girl, shrugging. "My family wanted to see America for themselves. And they are glad they did, because they are very happy here. They're ecstatic that they have made more… money than what they used to."

“That’s good. What do you think so far?” The new girl seemed nice and Linnea took an instant liking to her. A little . . . odd. But nice.

(Oh noo sorry)

"I like it. It is better than home, I suppose." This was sort of a lie. She disliked hiding her horns away as well as her forehead scars, but it was okay here on Earth. The air wasn't that clean, which gave her the need to sit up a little to take a good breath of air.
