James Black was a ruddy teenager with the messiest black hair you can think of, had skin as fair as one untouched by the Sun, although that boy had been playing in the sun his entire childhood, and had eyes that gave a small twinge of a sparkle behind the soulful deep hazel of the pupils. He stood a mighty 5ft 8.5" at just 16 and a half - he still had space to grow, and was undoubtedly one of the taller people in his year. As a Junior, his schedule was absolutely ransacked - hit by hurricane after tornado of classes, homework and projects.

  " Nope, riding there right now though, " Cole replied, almost screaming into his mic.

  " Alright, see ya in street 32 then, " James started his bike, slotted his helmet, and quickly zoomed off into the distance.

  Upon reaching school, he made a run for the lecture hall located on the left wing of the campus ( Cole had reached a few minutes earlier, unlike James, he had a reputation to keep up ) and somehow realized he reached the hall in a minute flat. With just another minute until the bell to signal class starting would ring.

  " Holy shitballs, I guess I don't have detention today, " James muttered under his breath, panting. He peered into the lecture hall before actually going in, as if to check for any signs of danger that may suddenly pop out at him.

  Opening the door, he strode confidently into the hall.
