Re: [Sunkiller] Back To School Scrap!
Val had to admit it was a bit overwhelming. She'd actually never done the school thing like this, all she had was tutors and home schooling before now. She'd been too fragile for the hustle and bustle around her. The sum total of her public school experiences was sound bites on the news and what she'd seen in shows and movies.
Of course in all these silly dramas the main character didn't tower six or more inches over everyone. She was, with her new heels, tipping around seven and change. She was tall, 'leggy' (her dad's definition before he headed back out on a six week consultation), and the newest addition to Foundation High School.
She tried to let the whispers roll over her, like her friend Phil told her, but the last one made her look out of the corner of her eye. It was one nest of girls, all in top label clothing. She couldn't figure which one of the 'cheer squad' it was that had said the last but she figured it might be smart to avoid all of them. At least that was what her mom had said.
She smiled and turned to the voice that had called her by name. Stay on the ball, stay out of trouble, try to blend in. She told herself as she looked at the principal. She was in bell bottoms, a jacket and a nice polo style shirt from Phil with a 'companion cube' logo, standing at 7 feet in her boots, she figured she could do the first two.. but the last was dead on arrival. Sorry Tower.. you'll have to be content with 'staying out of trouble'. She thought silently to her 'sponsor' as she thought of him.
"Yeah, that's me." She said with a grin, as she offered her hand. A month ago, she wouldn't have for fear of crushing his but she was learning control and confidence with her new powers. "You must be.. Principal MacDana right? I was suppost to check in with you first and go over my class schedule right?" She asked politely, feeling the eyes of the entire hallway on her as she spoke.
