Vanessa watched Isolde look through them with a curious look, "Yeah, that's what I was considering as well. Maybe I just took them too quickly or something." She gave a shrug, "Well, since they won't be useful for the yearbook or for me, you can keep them if you want. Or if you want to show Niq." Vanessa gave a faint smile, being polite. She eventually got bored and closed her book bag with one swift movement, "Well, I better get going. Hope you have a good day!" Vanessa waved at her and turned in the opposite direction, walking a few steps before swiveling around again, "Oh...and Isolde?" She grinned at her, excited for what she was about to say, "You and Niq make a very cute couple." And with that, Vanessa turned back around and walked away.

"Oh thanks." Isolde mumbled softly in shock, quickly taking of her backpack and unzipping a spare pocket before sticking the pictures inside. There was no way on earth she'd let Vanessa keep them. Looking back at the girl. "Okay have fun!" She called, color rushing to her cheeks at the mention of Niq and herself being a cute couple, she hardly knew the guy but she did think he was nice plus if the images were correct he was a shifter. Sighing when she realized there was no way she'd be able to pay attention after that so she might as well head to the building where her first class would be just to get a feel for where it was at. Putting her earbud back in before walking off.
( Quick skip to the class? cx )

( yeah!)
First day back to college after break and it was safe to say Niq wasn't prepared. He had a good start to his morning, helping his little sister out and dropping her smiley self off at school. He made a few pit stops on the way to campus, which caused him to be a little late. Luckily, most professors were pretty chill about tardiness, so he hoped it wouldn't give him a bad first impression; especially since it was rare for Niq in the first place. As he found a parking spot and quickly made his way to class, he found many other students in the same boat as him. Passing by several jogging/speed walking students caused Niq to enter the classroom with a smirk on his face. Oh Chemistry, we meet again, Niq thought as soon as he entered, his eyes scanning the room for open seats.
"And you must be Mr. Healy," The older looking professor spoke up as he walked through the door. "You can take a seat next to the lovely Isolde."

Isolde had gotten to class a couple minutes early, so after pulling out her notebook just in case laptops weren't allowed, sp she spent her extra time texting her brother about the pictures she had gotten from Vanessa and getting pictures from her friends in their own classes as everyone filed into the class. So to say the least she wasn't entirely paying attention because Annie had sent a picture of a professor with demon horns edited on and silly little flames engulfing the room. At the moment students all over seemed to chattering so ignoring everyone seemed like a plan.
( If needed Isolde's last name is Delacey cx)

( thank you! xD )
Niq furrowed his eyebrows at the familiar name. He hadn't seen her since New Years Eve, which they spent together. He glanced around the classroom, looking around for the girl. Eventually, when he did, he walked over to the table, his black jansport backpack hanging off of one shoulder. Despite his out of control auburn curls and the thrown together outfit, that he somehow managed to look semi-okay in, Niq looked and actually was in a good mood. He took his seat next to Isolde without saying a word, curious of when she would notice his presence.

Isolde was still texting away when someone sat down beside her, quickly clearing her brother's texts before glancing over at the person beside in disinterest; it probably wouldn't be anyone important or that she knew. Realizing it was Niq suddenly spooked her and she jumped back in surprise... And fell out of her seat onto the ground, which made a lot of people around laugh. Instantly climbing back to her feet and brushing off her clothes-black jeans, a camo shirt and a coat- before sitting down with a completely red face. "Sorry about that." She mumbled, ducking her head in embarrassment.
( You're welcome c: )

Niq smirked, watching her jump back in surprise. He certainly wasn't expecting her to fall out of her chair. Unlike the others, he just sat there smiling softly at her reaction, "Didn't think I was that scary looking when I walked out of the house today." He teased her quietly, causing the classmates that did hear him to laugh even more. Niq shook his head in amusement and turned his attention to his backpack. He placed it on the table, grabbing a pencil and notebook from it. Niq ran his fingers through his unruly hair before looking back over at Isolde.

Isolde gave Niq an awkward yet apologetic smile and her fingers began fiddling with a highlighter. "Nah you look fine." She tried to assure quietly even though she was still blushing out of control and the laughing around them wasn't helping the introvert. Truth be told she felt kind of nervous after the whole picture incident and the fact that his eyes glowed. Was he really a shifter? He seemed too genuine for a shifter to have merely been using his appearance. Quickly deciding to just not say anything of it but instead try to figure out if the pictures were true by watching and listening to him.

Niq chuckled softly and turned his attention to the teacher. He knew nothing of the pictures, in fact, he barely remembered that their picture was even taken that night. Despite being completely oblivious to Isolde's new found curiosity, he did sense something a little bit different with her. She seemed more nervous, which made Niq contemplate everything that occurred New Years Eve. Had he done something wrong? He couldn't have...Niq internally shook off the thoughts and tried his hardest to not get distracted. Biology and Chemistry were his worst subjects, especially when someone who forgets easily and goes off to la la land is taking the class. Which, that was exactly him.

Isolde put her phone away and also turned her gaze to the professor. This class should be easy enough for her, taking notes and paying attention was something she was surprisingly good at. Plus science subjects were a breeze until it came to weird names, which sadly were a thing in every class. But chances were that today it would just be a brief overview of the class material so she wasn't too worried about this one. Picking up a mechanical pencil as she waited for the class to begin.
( Now I'm not sure what to do cx )

( Sure. )
Isolde had ended up back at the library after finishing her last class and getting something to eat, occupying a empty table in the library with her laptop, a notebook, some textbooks, then pencils and highlighters were strung out across the table as she typed away. The place was currently filled with students who had a similar idea. The sound of keyboards clicking and pages turning filled the air. Isolde was going across her notes, looking up things and texting her brother and others that she knew were familiar with the classes for some tips. Sighing as she shook her head at this mess, today wasn't even that hard but the more studying she could get done the easier it would be in class and the better her grade would be.

( sorry, it's been some busy few days! but i think everything has settled down now )
At the end of his day, Niq decided it'd be best for him to hit up the library. He wanted to get a head start in his Chemistry class, especially because it's the only one he knew for sure he'd struggle in. He sighed softly as he walked through the doors, heading straight for the sciency section. He had completely passed Isolde's table, but it wasn't because he was ignoring her. Niq hadn't even recognized her, he was fixed on finding the perfect books to help him study. It was probably the nerdiest he would ever look. Every once in awhile he'd check his phone; normally a text from his parents or little sister. He never really gave out his phone number to anybody, and because of that, no one from the college texted him.

( It's okay! Now I'm sorry for not responding cx )
Isolde stopped typing when she realized someone tall had just walked by, pausing as she leaned back in her chair to get a look at who just went by. Sure enough it was Niq, one of the few people she knew of that height. Narrowing her eyes thoughtfully as they went to the pocket on her backpack with the pictures. The non confrontational, introvert side of her didn't want to say anything about them. But if he was a shifter, she needed to know. Sighing and pulling out the pictures, holding her thumb over her face in the top picture. Climbing out of her chair and quietly walking over to where he was. "Niq?" She asked softly.

Niq was looking intently at a few books, which he currently held in his hands. As Isolde walked over, he glanced up with a small smile, "Hey Isolde." He spoke quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone in the library. "What's up?" He questioned curiously. Normally he would just go along with the conversation, but she looked as if she came over for a specific reason. He could sense something was up; whether it was good or bad was what he didn't know.
(You're fine! c: )

Isolde quietly walked over so she would be closer to Niq to lower the chances of people overhearing. "I just wanted to ask you a couple things," She whispered, stnading beside him and holding up the pictures so he could see them. "I got these for Vanessa and I was wondering if you could explain this." She explained softly. Using her free hand to point out his obviously glowing eyes, her thumb still hiding her own face. Her hazel gazed fixed on Niq to watch his reaction.

Niq's eyes widened almost instantly. He had completely forgotten about the photos, and he certainly didn't think Vanessa would approach either of them because of the retinal flare. He had been wrong, "Uhm.." He was at a loss for words, carefully combining a sentence that didn't seem suspicious, "Probably just a glitch in the camera." Niq muttered, suddenly trying to play it off as cool. He held the books tightly in his hands, fighting off the need to run away from the entire situation. Why Isolde? He wanted it to be kept from her.

Isolde smirked, rolling her eyes at his answer. A glitch in the camera? "Vanessa didn't seem to think so," She commented lightly. He had to be a shifter, his body language was screaming it; the way his hands were gripping the books. She could understand the feeling all too well. Shrugging while moving the pictures to her free hand where Niq could see them better, also where you could see her face in the pictures. "I told her that it was probably the lighting." She added, holding the pictures out for him. "You want them?".

Before Niq could even respond to her inquiry, he dropped the books he had been holding. Instead of acknowledging the fact that he had even dropped them, he leaned in and grabbed the pictures, "No way." He spoke, almost too loudly. Those nearest to them could be heard shushing the two. "I don't believe it." He shook his head, his gaze shifting between Isolde and the pictures.

Isolde took half a step back he dropped the books to avoid having them fall on her foot. Ducking her head when the people near by were shushing them, shaking her head. Glancing back up at Niq in amusement. "Good," She muttered softly. Just to mess with him, Isolde's normally light hazel gaze turned bright blue and then back to normal. Little, tiny alters to her appearance was something that was incredibly easy and far less painful then most other things she could do. "I mean at least it's both of us so the picture just looks like something was off with the lighting." Keeping her voice at a whisper so they wouldn't disturb anyone.

Niq watched as her eyes changed in amazement, he had only met his sister and a few relatives, who were shifters. He'd never been in contact with a shifter who was a stranger. "She didn't question you a million times about it?" Niq asked curiously, his attention solely on Isolde now. Eventually, he leaned down and grabbed the books, "This is insane."

Post by Deleted on Jan 9, 2017 11:22:09 GMT -5
Isolde shook her head. "Nope, I managed to incredibly confused at the moment and told her that it was probably the lighting. She just have bought it." She replied truthfully. She had interacted with a few unrelated shifters in the past but it wasn't ever like this, most shifters she interacted with regularly were her brothers, father and extended family. "Are you the only one here?" She asked curiously. "I mean like the only of... I guess our kind on the campus." She clarified quietly.

"That I know of." Niq spoke quietly, "I don't really talk to most people on campus." He gave a shrug, acknowledging the fact that he was basically an introvert. "How long have you known?" He questioned curiously. He knew since he was 16, and it was something he kept away from nearly everyone he knew. It skipped a generation, so his parents weren't shifters, but his grandparents were able to show Niq the ropes.
( also another fact about shifters: they can find out their abilities any time during their life. whether they're really young or whethers it's later in life, it all depends on the person )

"Same." Isolde nodded with an amused huff, also being an introvert she didn't talk to most people unless Annie made her. Narrowing her eyes at the question. "I think I was like 8? Could have been 9, it's been awhile." She answered uncertainly, she had been shifting for many years which made her a little more experienced but it was awful since she had to learn how to hide it sooner, being a freak of nature was difficult as a kid. "What about you?" She asked, this couldn't be real, another shifter? Here? Who was also Niq who she had met and thought was a regular human.
( Okay cx )

Niq quirked an eyebrow at how young she had been, "I was 16," He smirked, shaking his head in amusement. "Well, I was 16 when I found out, but I didn't really understand what I was doing before I knew." Niq gave a shrug. He was trying to act nonchalant about the idea, but he seriously couldn't believe how crazy this whole idea was

"Nice, you got to be older before finding out." Isolde commented softly, that was something she envied form time to time. This was insane, meeting possibly the only other shapeshifter on campus after already kind or knowing him. It was still hard for her to process since Niq had confirmed it, it wasn't a theory. "Well I think I'll let you look at those books now, I have some homework to do." She excused before turning away and walking back to the messy table where her stuff was.
