A sigh escaped the soft pale lips of Alexa. Even though she had been staying on earth for a year she still wasn't used to having to be stuck inside all day, learning things she already knew. Being and andalite she longed for the wide open grassy fields outside, the dusty classroom didn't really compare to that.
The teacher was saying something but she wasn't paying attention, it was probably something not important. Suddenly everyone started standing up and moving, she jerked out of her thoughts. What's going on? It seemed people were pairing up, maybe they were doing some sort of project, just her luck. She hoped she didn't have to be with anyone else, she preferred to work alone, she hadn't been paying attention to the pairings the teacher had been calling out. Flicking her long black hair and looking around with harsh brown eyes she tried to see who was heading toward her, she felt sorry for the person who was....

((Alexa is the one who requested the practice RP, I'll leave it up to her.))
Marco listened as the teacher called out names for whatever project it was they were doing. He hadn't really been paying attention up until partners started being called. With any luck he'd be paired with a cute girl who had a good sense of humor. He smirked some at the thought.
A person who didn't mind doing most of the work wouldn't be bad either. It wasn't that Marco was a slacker...alright, so Marco was a bit of a slacker at time, but only sometimes, not all of the time. The real problem would be his secret life interfering with the project.
This must be why all the superheroes work at newspapers... He though as he stodd to approach his partner, Alexa, They don't have to work with partners...
He grinned at Alexa as he walked towards her, "Hey, partner!" He said in a joking western accent.

((Yes, but the fact that she's not on makes me sad. ))

((sure, feel free to join ^^))
Alexa had just been tossing up between just not bothering doing the project or asking someone someone what it was when her thoughts were interrupted. 'Add to that interrupted by an annoying "Hey partner"' She thought irritably.
She could tell the voice was directed to her but she wish it wasn't. 'Maybe if I ignore them they'll go away...' she thought. Finally she sighed and looked up at the person who was going to regret being her partner. She recognised the boy as Marco, the guy who thought he was the class clown, personally he had never found him that funny.
"ok, one, What do you want? and two, Don't use that annoying fake accent again or you'll regret it" she said coldy, glaring at him. She pushed a strand of hair out of her face, this was going to be one looong project.

Marco blinked. It figured she had no sense of humor. He sighed and took a seat next to her, "Okay, one, I'm your partner for the assignment, and two, did you happen to catch what it was? I zoned out..."
He ran a hand through his short brown hair as he looked at her. Hopefully she didn't mind doing most of the work, since he would undoubtedly have super hero stuff to take care of.

She sighed, she had this loser for a partner. She betted that naturally she would be expected to do all the work, she doubted this guy could even read by the look of him. "I have absolutely no idea what this project is and personally I don't care, figure it out by yourself."
She caught sight of him out of the corner of her eye running his hand through his hair, "would you stop doing that" she said, trying to bite back an insult. Hopefully if she was ignorant to him enough he would get the idea and leave her alone.
She ignored him and began to randomly draw in her notebook, a habit she had picked up from humans. Without realising it she had done a quick sketch of an andalite, she had got so caught up in her thoughts and longing of home. Suddenly she realised that someone else could see, possibly a yeerk. She quickly did a couple of lines through the picture, hoping no one had seen.

Marco's spotted the drawing, and his eyes widened, though he instantly hid the reaction to avoid it being spotted. This girl had to be a controller. There was no other explaination. And yet the picture had been so beautifully done, even if it was just a quick sketch. A Yeerk would have undoubtedly made Andalite look like some horrid monster.
There was another explaination that he could think of. Perhaps Ax wasn't the only Andalite stranded here on earth. Marco's dark eyes were focused on the spot where the picture had been before she'd scribbled out hastily.
I can't draw any rash conclusions though...better to investigate. He thought as his gaze shifted to her face.

She quickly scrunched up the paper, 'great idea Alexa' she thought, 'just alert every Yeerk in the area that your an andalite.' She threw the scruched up ball of paper and landed it in the bin, it was great to have sstrong human arms and hands.
"What are you staring at?" she said looking back up at Marco who was staring at her face. What was she going to do, what if this guy was a yeerk too? "Fine just to get you off my nerves" she scrunched up another bacll of paper and threw it at the back of the guys in front of hers head. "Hey you, what's the project?"
The guy looked at her dumbfounded for a moment until he read her glare, "uh, it's a free topic, we can do it on anything we pick..."

Someone knocked on the door. The teacher moved to answer it. He met the eyes of a very frazzled senior. "Sorry I'm late. I got caught in traffic this morning. Anything I can help you with?" She was the teacher's aid, who usually was there before anyone else. This morning, however, she had kind of forgotten how to start/drive her car. This was what caused the "traffic". The teacher smiled pleasantly, "Yes, Tiamate. Would you just go around the room and help whomever needs it. I have to make a quick run." He smiled pleasantly and Tiamate returned the smile, her eyes darting around the room. When the teacher left, she paled a bit. Pacing around, she chewed her lip and looked at what everyone was doing. "Do you have any questions?" She inquired, coming across Marco and Alexa's group. Please, say no, say no! She thought, for once keeping it to herself, though her eyes traveled upwards.

"Miss Senior Person!" one of the other students shouted. He grinned sheepishly, waving her over. Sighing, Tia moved her way over towards the student, nodding towards the two in parting. Obviously they didn't need help. "Yes?" she inquired testily. "I don't know what to do. Can you help me?" He smiled innocently. Something about his smile, however, put her off. "Ok, what did the teacher say to do?" "I don't know." Tiamate resisted the urge to kill the kid. "Does anyone know what you're suppose to do?" She questioned, scanning the room.

Alexa tried her best to ignore the girl, looking up only when she had moved on. There was something she didn't like about her, she glared at her for a minute before sighing. Did it really matter, half the humans on this planet were untrustworthy anyway.
She looked back at Marco, untrustworthy indeed. She looked back up at the girl when she yelled out. "No one knows what they are meant to be doing, get over it" she said loudly, rolling her eyes with an exasperated sigh. Normally she didn't get herself caught up in these things, or really talk much at all in class, but she was not in a good mood at the moment.

No one know what they are meant to be doing? Who talks like that? Ax...maybe this chick is an andalite...I'll stick with her for a couple hours and see if she has to duck out... Marco grinned at Alexa in his normal boyish way.
"So, what do you think we should do the project on?" He asked as he sat in the desk beside her and leaned back. "I was thinking we could do something really spaceagey..." He shrugged, if she was an Andalite, this might get something out of her.

The door opened again and in entered a smallish lad, carrying a paper. "Hiya, Tia. Where's the teacher? I was told to bring this here note down here," Dessan said, waving the paper about randomly before walking over to his sister. "Bah, you're the aide, here, you take it." He all but shoved it into her hand before turning to leave. Seeing Marco, he shot a casual smile his way, until he saw the look on the girl's face next to him. Reminded him to much of... her. He shuddered and quirked an eyebrow. An odd feeling he got from that one, but otherwise proceeded out the door.

Tia raised an eyebrow, confused. "Riight..." She blew out air. "Well, you have your answer. They know nothing." She glared at the student and moved to the front of the room, reading over the paper. It said: "We will be coming for her soon. Stay put." Tia looked over the note, not exactly sure what they were talking about, but naturally assumed it was about her. Tia thingyed her head, looking around the room. Sharing, Sharing, not, Sharing, not, not, no idea, not sure, not, Sharing she mentally ticked off the Sharing and non-Sharing members quietly to herself. She guessed that they were after her, but why now, when they could have attacked sooner. Then she remembered Yeerk politics. The host of an important Visser disappearing is not exactly something that Visser Three would want the Council to know about. They would just recapture her quietly and quickly. That was all. The teacher came back in. "How are they doing?" "Fine," Tia replied. "This came for you." "Thanks." He read over the note, nodding. "Here, would you grade these quizzes for me?" He handed her a stack of papers and she smiled, pleasantly. ((Sorry, trying to work with what Dess gave me...))
