"I am," Clair said.

"I have a mom, never met my dad. I haven't seen mom for a long time," Cassandra said.

"How can I notice anything when you've been bothering me nearly from the start?" Garnet asked.

"And so distractible," the girl sighed, shaking her head in mock sadness.  "Well.  How good are your eyes?  My nose doesn't fail me..."

"Aw, that's so sad!" said Yasmin.  "I'd invite you over for dinner, but... um, we can't really share most of our food.  It's in very short supply."

Cassandra nodded.

"Yeah, sharing food can be hard.

"Fine then," Garnet said, letting her full and majestic aura flare.

"What do Sirens eat?" Yasmin asked, curious.  Meat was certainly hard to come by, but not everyone needed it...

That got gasps, stares, people turning to look at Garnet even more.  Daphne took an involuntary step back.

"Well," she said.  "Crude.  Clumsy.  But real power, nevertheless.  What are you?"

"Meat. Lots of meat," Cassandra said. "I like meat. Can't eat people anymore. We used to."

Garnet snorted, shooting out a small bit of flame.

"Half-dragon."

Yasmin nodded.

"We... don't have a choice about that," she said.  "But we don't like it fresh all that much, which helps a little.  We don't have to... hunt."

A loud voice came from behind them.

"If you two are through being disruptive?  And please be careful with the fire."

"Ah, must be hard," Clair said.

Garnet jumped and looked back.

"There's some accommodations made for us around here, luckily," said Yasmin.  "But still, we've got a fairly big family.  And three of us are still growing, so, you know... it can be tricky."

A teacher had entered the room while everyone was talking.  He was tall, with a beard and long hair, quite muscular and with a very strong presence.

"Thank you," he said.  "Now, be seated, everyone."

He did something to the door; a strange symbol on it glowed for a moment.

"I am Mr. Rivera, your homeroom teacher," he said.  "I am a skin-changer-- a werewolf.  There's a large community of us in this town, living unseen among human.  Needless to say, we're at great risk if humans find out about nonhumans living here, and that's why I want to start off by explaining that I expect all of you to be very discreet about doing anything that would reveal your true nature."

He might have been glaring at Garnet and Daphne; perhaps not.

"This class, of course, is made up of students who are not human," he continued.  "You are, by extension, part of this community-- the nonhuman community.  We all have to rely upon each other, from time to time, so I'd like for each of you to introduce yourselves to the others, and explain, and if possible, reveal your true nature to the other students.  Miss Greer has already started, I see, so why don't you continue and introduce yourself properly?"

"Ack! Teacher!" Clair said, turning around quickly.

Garnet stood up.

"My name is Garnet Greer. I'm half-dragon. My father moved us here from Los Angeles. I haven't had much of a chance to explore the city yet. I enjoy collecting...uh, I mean I like reading and doing urban exploration."

Yasmin straightened up and paid attention.  It was still a bit odd, seeing a male as an authority figure (and not a human!) but she'd get used to it, she was sure.

"Better," said the teacher.  "Next?"

John stood up.

"I'm John Delgado," he said.  "I'm a werewolf, too.  And, uh, an aspiring artist, I guess."

"And a good boy," Garnet whispered to him and chuckled.

"A lot of very western ones," Rania whispered to you.

It seemed to be Yasmin's turn; she stood up.

"I'm Yasmin al-Jameel... that's not my full name, but it's quite long.  I'm a Ghul, just like the rest of my family.  We moved into town over summer after leaving Persia... that is, Iran, which isn't a very safe place for us any more.  I enjoy listening to all kinds of music."

John grinned awkwardly at that.

And so it continued on until everyone was done.
