"Thank you...hmmm, I guess I'm not annoyed with you anymore. You go to Mary Shelley High, right? Let's go," Garnet said.

"...Uh, all right," he said, and followed along after her.  Soon they were by the school building itself; some students were going in, while others loitered outside.

"So is there anything special that you want to do in high school?" Yasmin asked.  "Any special dreams?"

Rania blushed.

"M-maybe some dating. My parents used to tell me no dating until high school."

Garnet glanced about as she walked. Were any of these people possibly monsters?

"I'd like to do that, too," Yasmin admitted.  "I hope I can find someone nice... what kind of person are you looking for?"

It certainly seemed possible-- even likely.  But how could she tell?  That was the hard part.

I'm not sure yet, but I just like the idea of it," Rania said, quickly.

It was indeed. Garnet decided she was going to find her homeroom.

"That's fair," said Yasmin.  "I'm sure we'll get lots of chances... I wonder how many of these students are human?"

She sniffed the air.  Humans smelled different from a lot of other kinds of people.

...Oddly, John appeared to be taking every single turn that she did.  But soon enough, she was in her homeroom.

You do manage to catch the scent of a few monsters among the humans. Not a lot of them. it might be like forty or fifty to one.

"Are you in my class as well?" Garnet asked the boy.

"Looks like it," said John.  "Just lucky, I guess."

"...Okay, there's at least some of us here," said Yasmin.  "Hard to pick out who just by smell in a crowd like this, though.  Let's get to class."

She headed for her homeroom.

As you head to the classroom, a very tall boy seems to be following the two of you.

"Flattery is a good strategy," Garnet said.

"Good to know," said John.  He took out a book... not a textbook.  He appeared to be drawing or writing something in it.

Yasmin didn't say anything until they were in the classroom... he might just be going the same way.  But once she was there, she took a seat at the back of the class to see if he was going to introduce himself, or what.

The boy takes a seat in a desk and puts his feet up on the desk, his long legs going over to the next desk.

"What are you doing?" Garnet asked, trying to get a peek.

"Hm?" said John.  His angle made it hard for Garnet to see exactly what it was.  "Oh, I'm just doing some sketches.  Doodles.  I play around with it a little bit."

Yasmin frowned.  That was rude, but he wasn't doing it to her... she tried to get a sniff of him to see if he was human.  She doubted it.

No, the boy clearly wasn't human, in fact no one in the room was. Fully, anyway. The white girl was a human/monster hybrid.

"Can I see it?" Garnet asked.
