Bailing 101, Monday

The classroom was empty at starting time; Atton was nowhere to be found.

It was otherwise a completely normal classroom, albeit anyone trying the windows would find them locked in place.

There was no note, there were no other items, just desks and chairs. And quiet, at least for the moment.

Poor Jesse. That was some very audible throat-clearing behind him right now from... well, thin air.

"And where do you think you're running off to?"

"Holy shit!"

Jesse, honestly, was not in the habit of swearing in front of teachers, but -- well, he didn't know he was in front of teachers, at the moment.

He looked around, eyes wide, searching for the source of the voice. "Who's there?"

"Okay, so that's a minus one for taking the obvious exit, and another one on flunking the follow-through," Atton sighed.

He was trying to figure out whether he should turn off the stealth field so the kid would stop freaking out, or the freaking out was funny enough that he'd keep it up just a little bit longer.

"Empty classroom, dude!" Jesse protested, still looking around (and now in the complete wrong direction.) "I didn't flunk anything -- no teacher, no class."

He was so not failing his first new day of school. Not when it had started so promisingly.

Hey, he was looking in the other direction. No better time to turn off that stealth field.

Atton leaned against the wall. "I'm right here, actually."

And that got another little jump out of him before Jesse smirked a little and cocked a finger at Atton. "That," he said, "was pretty cool. What, you got some kind of invisibility cloak there or something?"

Shut up, he'd heard about some Barry Plodder stuff. Didn't make him nerdy. Shut your face.

"Get back in the classroom, we're doing introductions," Atton told him.

Look, Anders had stuck the landing. This guy didn't even seem to know which landing pad to pick.

"But," Jesse argued, sadly. "But...I don't get it."

He turned to go back in the classroom, because he wasn't dumb enough to get himself kicked out of class on, again, his very first day -- but he was doing it really confused.

"I told you," Atton called after him, "You didn't think and picked the obvious exit, and you failed to follow through. Go think about what you did."

Yeah, Jesse. Go think about it.
