oh no XD i meant that i always wanted to try homeschooling! lol sorry i thought you were asking something else )
Niq took a seat and picked up his menu as well. As she spoke about her preferences, he laughed, "I think it's a little late for a full meal anyway," He smiled, "So, why not?" He looked throughout the menu, just to see what they had here. He then flipped to the dessert section and looked through all the milkshakes, desserts, and ice creams they had. He was once again, overwhelmed. So many things he enjoyed all a little too much. It was so hard to choose!
( yeah the second one was my favorite too cx
as for the shifting, i kind've go off of shapeshifters from the actual show 'supernatural.'
they basically can shift into literally anything. and depending on the person, they can either take hours to shift or seconds. the whole retinal flare thing is when their eyes like flash a bright yellow, and it happens when they're videotaped, have pictures of them taken, or when light shines on them. i guess they also can gather the thoughts and ideas of those they mimic or 'shift' into. then they have the whole superhuman strength, speed, and power, etc. i think that's all...but if you have any questions just ask lol! )

( It's fine I'm easily confused as well cx )
"I think you mean a little early." Isolde joked lightly as she tried to decide on a kind of ice cream, did she want turtle or death by chocolate? Why were decisions so hard when it came to simple things? Letting out a huff of mild annoyance before setting the menu down and looking across at Niq. "Good luck man, just go with whatever would be closest to something you like and roll with that." She advised so they wouldn't be there until dawn while he tried to make up his mind, but she had to admit that it was kind of cute to watch.
( What is literally anything? That all seems pretty complete thank you cx )

Niq laughed at her joke, shaking his head, "Got some grade A jokes here, Isolde." He teased, keeping his eyes on the menu. When she made the comment about finding something that was closest to what he would like, he smirked and set down the menu, "Listen...I am a growing young man, I like EVERYTHING." Niq spoke with emphasis, amusement filling his eyes as he smiled at the pretty girl in front of him. It was 100% true. He loved food, and was never picky. Niq was one of those people that could literally grab anything and end up liking it. He always wondered why people thought so hard about what they like and don't like just by looking at it. He'd try anything and everything just to say he tried it.
( literally anything is animals, living/dead humans, and characters (people in shows or those who don't actually exist) )

Isolde grinned when he commented on her jokes, she put zero effort into making jokes it was just one of those things her crazy brother had rubbed off on her. Since she had to wait for Niq to get himself together she started playing with the salt and pepper shakers on the table before turning her attention back to him. "Then close your eyes and put your finger on the menu and get whatever it ends up on." Isolde suggested while setting down the salt shaker. She happened to be picky, not incredibly picky but she had her preferences and that was that.
( I see... That is incredibly helpful thank you c: )

Niq considered her suggestion and ended up doing it. He picked up his menu once again, closed his eyes, and whirled his finger around before placing it on whatever he had chosen. He opened his eyes to look; cookies and cream malt shake. He wasn't mad, in fact, the idea of it now made him want it. "That was a good idea." He smiled at Isolde. Now all he needed was the waitress to come back so they could order.
( no problem! also, do you wanna rp the yearbook person or do you want me to do it? )

Isolde merely smiled at Niq as he did as she suggested, leaning forward so she could see what it was. "Oh nice, that one is pretty good." She commented before sliding back as a waitress came around the corner with a small notepad to write down orders. "Hi! What could I get for you two tonight and what kind of drink would you like?" She asked, it was obvious that the waitress was getting worn out from the long night. "I'll have a fudge brownie shake and uh... Water." Isolde answered, allowing the waitress to write down her order before holding out her menu. Once it was taken she began boredly drumming her fingers on the table as she realized this had been a incredibly interesting night, starting out being drug to a party and now she was getting ice cream with a cute guy she barely knew. Wow. The waitress turned to Niq to take his order. "And how about you sir?"
( Could you? cx )

( yea of course! c: )
Niq smiled softly at Isolde, and as the waitress walked up, he watched her order. When it was his turn, he folded up the menu, "Cookies and cream malt shake, and another water." After the waitress took Isolde's menu, he held out his own for her to take. Once she was gone, his attention again returned to Isolde, "So-" He was suddenly interrupted as another college student sneaked up on them, "Isolde!!!!!!!! Happy New Year!" The girl grinned, reaching over and pulling Isolde in for a hug.
Niq watched with a curious gaze. Since he barely ever talked to any of his peers, he couldn't recognize the girl even if he had passed by her several times. He couldn't help but chuckle softly as Isolde was forced into a hug. The random girl held a nice looking camera, and was wearing what he presumed as her sparkly, New Years party dress. Not that it wasn't flattering to Niq, he just found outfits like Isolde's more attractive.

( Thank you cx )
Isolde looked back at Niq to see what he was going to say before being suddenly ambushed by another student and pulled into a incredibly unwanted hug. While generally hugging wasn't that big of a deal for her the girl only made herself known to them about .5 seconds before hand. "Oh, hi! Happy New Years." She replied while pulling herself free of the hug. Then she realized that said girl had a camera, oh dear. "What have you been up to tonight?" She asked, trying to appear genuinely interested even though the camera made her want to run. While humans showed up all cute if photos with the occasional red eyes that was not the case for her kind, they showed up with retinal flares that made her want to run for the hills. Pictures she took were fine since she edited them to appear perfectly fine before sharing them with the world. Yearbook was a different story.
( Well I think I should be heading to bed, good night! )

The girl's name was Vanessa. She was known at the college to be a little too affectionate towards acquaintances. Vanessa grinned at the two of them, her gaze switching between then ever so often, "We were at Niq's party and took some pictures, and then just ventured around a bit. Now we're here!" She laughed, even though nothing about that statement was amusing. She held the camera tightly in her hands, swinging it around as if she was ready to take a bunch of pictures of them.
Niq's eyebrows furrowed at the mention of his name. He had never met this girl in his life, and somehow she knew who he was? He started to drift off as he considered all the peers he had classes with; maybe she was in one and heard the teacher call his name. Eventually, he snapped back to reality, glancing up at Vanessa as she spoke excitedly and just a little bit to quickly. Every time her camera moved, Niq flinched. It was out of habit, and he hoped no one acknowledged his cautious movements. Niq was known to stay away from cameras and any social media platforms that involved pictures. He knew if anyone wanted to take a picture with him, he'd suggest they take it on his phone and then he'd edit it before they could see the original. But, that was a rare occurrence. Niq rarely ever took photos with other people or just of himself. He felt almost angry at this girl. Flinging her camera around like it was no big deal. When in reality, it was a big deal.

Isolde laughed uncomfortably as she eyed Vanessa in caution there was definitely pictures taken then. She knew she should have stayed home tonight, less cameras and unwanted pictures that way. "So... Are the rest of your yearbook buddies hanging around here too? Or is it just you?" She asked, trying to sound casual even though she was very much on edge. The urge to get up and run off was so hard to ignore. But seeing as Isolde appeared to be surrounded by humans at the moment everyone would just think that she was absolutely crazy.

Vanessa giggled and basically ignored Isolde's question. Without warning, she kneeled on one knee and lifted her camera, snapping several pics before they could move.
Immediately, Niq stood up, towering over the little Vanessa. He looked pissed, if anything, he looked frightening. "Please delete those." He spoke calmly, but internally he was everything but calm.
Vanessa's eyes widened, staring up at Niq, "It's just a few pictures.." She laughed awkwardly, "What's wrong with that?"

Isolde did her best to avoid groaning out loud when the camera suddenly went off, watching as Niq sudden stood up beside Vanessa. It was too late to do anything about it and since he wasn't paying attention at the moment she leaned forward and hit her face with her hands. Pictures made her feel sick, if the wrong person saw those it would be a complete and total mess. It was terrifying.

Niq shook his head, "Can you just delete those? That was really uncalled for." He held out his hand, asking silently for her to just consider the idea.
Vanessa furrowed her eyebrows, "No, it's just a few pictures. Stop being selfish like always." She spoke abruptly, no longer scared of the male hovering over her. "Goodbye Isolde." Vanessa's last words before calling over her friends and heading towards the front of the building
Her comment made Niq even angrier, and he even act as if we was gonna follow her, "It's not worth it." He spoke under his breath. He figured he could just shift into her when he was free and delete the pictures from her camera. Yea, that seemed easier, he thought.

Isolde merely gave Vanessa an awkward wave before sitting up straight again hopefully before Niq would notice, he didn't seem to like pictures either so that made her a little more comfortable. Hopefully they'd just think there was a problem with the lighting and delete the picture instead of questioning why her eyes would be glowing in the image. The thought of shifting into Vanessa later crossed her mind, but she could get caught and besides shifting into other people wasn't something she enjoyed doing... Most of the time.

Niq watched her leave, just to see if maybe she'd rethink the situation and come back to delete the pictures. He sighed once she was gone, turning back around to face Isolde. He took his seat again and shook his head, "That was nice of her," He spoke sarcastically. Niq couldn't help but think of the possible occurrences that could happen next. Vanessa could print the pictures and hang them up around the school, or even put them in the yearbook, or worse, tell the yearbook committee and have several rumors fly around about Niq. Apparently he was already talked about, considering Vanessa had known his name without an introduction, but rumors about his glowing eyes wouldn't make sense to anyone.

Isolde also watched Vanessa leave, her hand curled into a fist under the table. "I will never be able to understand yearbook people." She sighed. She had been part of the yearbook committee back in highschool because then she was able to control pictures being taken of herself and she had always asked for permission unless it was like a football game or something of the sort. "You don't like unexpected pictures either?" She asked casually as the waitress came by and gave them their waters. "I'll be back with the shakes in a moment." She informed them before heading off again.

"Hate them," Niq responded, picking up his glass of water the waitress left before taking a drink out of it, "Ever since I can remember too." He hated how angry he got because of photos. He also was frustrated that for once, the person behind the camera didn't respect him enough to delete the photo. "Apparently, I'm selfish because I don't like my picture being taken without warning." He smirked, shaking his head in amusement. He wanted to make light of what just happened, even those he was still pretty heated on the inside.

"We can be selfish together then." Isolde joked trying to lighten the mood even though she was incredibly nervous about the future of those pictures. "I will never understand why people think everyone likes getting their picture taken." She thought out loud before taking a sip of her water. Her hazel gaze traveling back across the groups of people that were there until being shaken out of her thoughts when a fudge brownie shake was set in front of her by the waitress. The waitress also gave Niq his shake as well. "Let me know if you two need anything." She smiled before heading off to another table.

Niq thanked the waitress with a smile before looking back over at Isolde, "She didn't even ask us if it was okay..." He smirked, "And, not to mention, she like completely ignored your question!" He pointed out, shaking his head. "How do you even know that girl?" Niq questioned, acknowledging the fact that the girl came over in the first place because of Isolde.

Isolde took a spoonful of her shake-because why use a straw when you have a spoon?- while thinking about the question, where did she know Vanessa from? "We had a couple classes together last semester." She answered slowly. "We didn't really talk though." When she didn't have to talk she didn't it was simple and many classes she could get away with it as the professor's lectured them. So she hardly knew Vanessa to say the least.

Niq nodded, "I honestly don't even know how she knows my name." He laughed, taking a spoonful of his shake as well. He glanced around the place, noticing that Vanessa and her yearbook friends absence made it all the more quieter. He enjoyed the silence between him and Isolde for a few moments, taking spoonfuls of his shake ever so often. It was probably even later than he thought it was, considering he hadn't checked the time since midnight. As they sat in silence he listed the things he had done tonight. Minus the small annoyance Vanessa cause, he decided it had been a great night.

Isolde laughed while shaking her head, it was weird when that happened to sure so she could understand. Continuing to thoughtfully dig into her shake, the party was nice and all, Niq was pretty cool; but this is what made it a perfect night. A quiet atmosphere and ice cream. Her thoughts were interrupted when her phone repeatedly buzzed with texts. Putting her spoon in the shake before pulling out her phone and unlocking it. One text was from Kayla with pictures of Annie who had obviously had too much to drink with that caption: "I'm going to take her home now". The other text was also picture from her older brother with his dodge charger covered in unwanted silly string and window chalk. Isolde couldn't contain her laughter at the texts, it was obviously late and she was kind of tired so everything seemed more amusing.

Do you wanna skip to when school starts again and Vanessa finds Isolde to show her the pic and then Niq and Isolde can have the same class and it can kind've be like their first time seeing each other since New Years? )

okay ! )
Vanessa stomped around campus, looking in nearly every dorm hall, classroom, lecture hall, etc. She was now headed towards the library, in hopes of finding Isolde. She knew that since it was the first day back to school, Isolde would have to be somewhere on campus. Vanessa had just recently printed the pictures from New Years Eve, when she realized something extremely unusual about them. After reprinting around five times, she figured it had nothing to do with the camera. It was too unusual to understand though, so she thought going to Isolde would work best.
Niq was at his parents house helping his little sister get ready for school. Even though he had his own apartment, he spent most of his nights at his parents. His mom and dad worked full time for the same company, and often left early in the morning. This generally meant he had to be the one to help Olivia get to school on time. His first class started a little later than usual so he was in no rush to get to school.

Isolde had been wandering around campus in a wonderful mood with her backpack and earbuds in with music drowning out most noise. She had just left Annie and Kayla at their first class of the day, during the end of break they had all moved into an apartment together, since then they were pretty much always together. She had arranged her schedule so she could sleep in a little in needed or do whatever instead of having class at that exact moment. So right now she was spending that time by walking into the library to look do some quick searches on her laptop and get it set up in case she was able to use it for notes in any class, oh how she hoping to do well this semester.

As Vanessa headed towards the library, she finally spotted Isolde. Like the weirdo she was, she literally started sprinting towards Isolde, not considering the fact that it could be completely terrifying to everybody else. Luckily, she didn't scream out anything, but the grin on her face widened as she reached Isolde. "I finally found you!" She was breathing heavily because of her quick sprint over, but she didn't seemed phased by it. "I've been meaning to ask you a few questions."

Isolde slowed down when she saw Vanessa running at her. Oh great, this better be good. She thought before looking around to make sure no one else was around and rolling her eyes, looked like she was the target. The urge to run away at her real-nonhuman- full speed was almost unbearable. Silently she raised an eyebrow once the girl reached her, stepping back away from the library and pulling out an earbud. "Sorry, what was that?" She asked. Earbuds had to be one of the greatest inventions ever, you could use them to ignore people whenever needed.

"I've been meaning to ask you a few questions," Vanessa repeated, continuing to breath heavily as she opened up her bookbag, "Let me get out the pictures first." She spoke, grabbing the lot of them out of a pocket, "These are all candid, and I've tried reprinting a million times, it's just not usual for most pictures." She glanced up at Isolde, holding out the bunch of pictures for her to take. "I was wondering if you could explain it, and yeah maybe you're not into photography or photo editing but I thought I'd ask anyway."

At the mention of pictures Isolde moved farther away from the door so if anyone tried to come in they wouldn't overhear or so she wouldn't be in the way. Nervously she gently took the pictures from Vanessa. "So you want me to look at them then?" She asked, looking at the first picture. Her eyes widening in surprise, it was indeed the pictures from New Years with her eyes glowing away but Niq's eyes were also glowing. Completely shocked by this she looked through the rest of the pictures before coming to the realization that his eyes glowing completely on their own, it wasn't like it bouncing off of her or the lighting. No, he couldn't possibly be a shifter... Could he? "I have no idea, that is really strange? Maybe the lighting was just bouncing off of us weird? This is so bizarre." She didn't have to fake her confusion because it was totally there. Flipping through the photos again as she answered. Truthfully she wanted to see if she could hold onto the pictures because they could be an absolute problem and the fact that there was possibly another shifter on campus was crazy.
