               She watched in confusion as the boy entered her lab. With wide eyes and long hair he looked almost girlish, his short stature meaning she mistook him for a child at first glance. Caught up in trying to decipher his age ( she knew they admitted younger pupils based on talent, but she didn’t think they would be that young ) it took her a moment to approach him; wondering what he was doing wandering into her work space.

              “Excuse me?” She took a step closer in an attempt to attract his attention. “Is there…something you need?”

♚ —— THE FIRST DAY OF _{college was something 
he had mixed feelings about. He had never officially gone to school,
but working in mama’s labs had proved to be useful to him long after
the organization had been dissolved. & that’s how he ended up in
the hallway, completely lost. Of course, if he hadn’t been late, he 
would have caught the receptionist before she went out on a tea
break, but punctuality & discipline wasn’t really his forte.}

               hallway, hesitating only momentarily as he stepped inside,
               the room’s lighting was slightly dimmer & the temperature  
               was slightly colder, & for a moment he thought there was
               nobody there, only to let out a yelp of surprise as he 
               suddenly heard a voice, eyes landing on a platinum blonde
               haired girl.}
