The bell rang early today announcing the end of the classes and the beginning of the assembly. Teachers shouted over the murmur of starting conversations and the screeching of chairs against tiles as everyone clambered to get up. Despite the directions of the teachers there was no real semblance of organization as they all made their way in thick clumps of chattering friends and straggling loners like Isaac down to the assembly hall. The necromancer heaved a great sigh, knowing that this assembly was most likely going to cut into their lunch hour at this rate.  His white-blue eyes scanned the crowd as he shuffled towards the seats in the auditorium as he absently scanned for Aisha and Vivio in the crowd. Isaac saw neither so he shrugged and found himself a seat.<br/><br/>Isaac was just beginning to think he would be sitting alone when Aisha and an unimpressed looking Vivio seemed to appear from no where. The pink haired girl seemed to have that permanent and giant enthusiastic smile plastered on her pretty face as she sat down. "Uh...Hi," Isaac greeted awkwardly when they both sat down. Their conversation did not go unheard and he blushed with flattery to discover that Aisha had possibly meant it; that they'd be dating. The idea made him nervous, he'd never had a girlfriend before and he had never expected to get one in such an unusual way -- especially since he still was not sure if she was joking or not but he was too embarrassed by it to ask.<br/><br/>He was interrupted from his thoughts by the lights being dimmed and the immature, "ooooOooo." That followed after before everyone was silent and the small school stage lit up for the assembly to officially begin. Isaac watched as a young woman came out and a cardboard tree with a hat stuck in it was rolled out onto stage.<br/><br/>"Oh no! My favourite hat!" Yelled the young woman with exaggerated and feigned distress as she gestured to the hat in the fake tree.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">'That tree is tiny idiot! Just pull it down!!'</span>A student from the back yelled and half the teachers in the room hissed an angry Shhhhhh as the woman continued unphased.<br/>"My mother will NEVER forgive me if I lose this hat!" She wailed and looked at the audience, "what am I to do?"<br/><br/>From off the side of the stage a squirrel came running (much to the awww's of many girls). It chittered and then ran about the womans feet before running up the tree, getting the hat. The squirrel brought the hat to the girl and then before everyones eyes transformed into a red haired, freckle faced, pale teenage boy in a H.A.P.P.E. shirt and black shorts. He handed the hat to her and she laughed, "thanks Simon!" She said.<br/><br/>"No problem Tara!" He said enthusiastically and from there they went into a tag team speech about how humans and parahumans could live together in harmony and the many things that were being done to see this happen.<br/><br/>Beside Aisha, Isaac groaned with undisguised concern and sunk lower into his chair as he recognized his cousin Simon. He had heard his cousin had parahuman abilities but had not known what they might be until now and Isaac remember well the trouble his cousin often got him into. He prayed that Simon did not notice him.
