High up in the city as they were, the sun lit everything so that the school grounds shone green, blue, white, and gold. It looked a little unreal. Tumaini frowned on the edge of the courtyard which sat in the middle of the school he would be attending. Most students started at the age regular humans did their high schooling, but this would be his first year to attend. He applied too late--a part of him almost didn't want to go--and did not get accepted in time. Although he didn't procrastinate with that goal in mind, he felt relieved at the time. Now he just felt apprehensive. Other students walked past him toward the tower at the school's center, but he just stood there.
The opening ceremony. What would it be like? Would every student that would attend the school be stuffed into one great hall? Without a super parent to tell him about the school, he didn't know what to expect. Despite the fact he looked lost though, he knew exactly which way to go. The students arrived on a special tram car that could only be accessed by those accepted into the school and the staff. He received an ID card in the mail with his acceptance and by swiping it, certain unacceptable parts of the city opened up to him. It was strange how that worked, but the letter also gave all the instructions he needed for this day.
He just didn't want to follow through. Sighing, Tumaini forced his legs to start working again, but he'd long since stopped paying attention to his surroundings and just walked forward with a dazed and rather doomed sort of air.
