Iris frowned at Zeik's comment, her heart sinking. Obviously she had screwed up this first attempt at social interaction, so the best thing she could do was find a way to gracefully exit.
"Maybe," Iris said, "I wouldn't know, I haven't seen them in action, all I meant was that I didn't expect them to be so...normal."
The moments the words escaped her mouth she had to resist the mental temptation to slap herself in the forehead. This had been her first real chance to make friends and all she had done was repeatedly put her foot in her mouth. She stood awkwardly, her frown deepening as she did.
"So...um, I'm going to go introduce myself to some other people, but it was nice to meet all of you," She said, "And...uh, I look forward to seeing you in class."
So much for a great first impression, she thought to herself, sulking off to try to find a classmate she wouldn't insult just by opening her mouth.
'It doesn't matter,' Beatrix's voice taunted in her mind, 'They would have figured out you weren't worth being friends with eventually anyway.'
Iris shook her head in frustration, trying to silence her sister's imagined insults, but this only seemed to make them worse.
'Who'd want to be friends with a worthless girl like you, anyway?' It continued, 'Really, what do you bring to a friendship? You're not smart, you're not funny,and clearly you have no conversation skills. The only reason you're even in this Academy is because for whatever reason they saw potential in you, but don't worry, that won't last long. You're not in the Big Easy anymore, it'll take more than a few parlor tricks to make people respect you. You're going to have to prove yourself. Otherwise before long they'll all realize you're useless, and they'll forget all about you, just like everyone else.'
Iris frowned, knowing that this inner voice was right. She was in a school filled with students that had the potential to be super heroes, and if she didn't prove she had what it took soon than no one would have any reason to pay attention to her. After all, if this first attempt at socializing was any indication, no one was going to like her for her glowing personality.

"Thanks for the save, Zeik," Ayame said, smiling at him.
"Yeah," Skyler followed up, "I know we've only known her for five minutes, but I already can't stand that girl."
"Good to know you're so quick to judge," Ayame said sarcastically.
"Oh come on!" Skyler said, raising her voice, "You can't really tell me she doesn't rub you the wrong way."
Ayame frowned, knowing that she couldn't argue with Skyler, but not wanting to encourage her sister's hatred. She knew that Skyler was prone to holding grudges, and the last thing she wanted was for her sister and Iris to spend the rest of their years at the Academy at each other's throats.
"Maybe, but it's her first day," Ayame said, "She's probably still trying to adjust to all of this."
"Whatever," Skyler said, rolling her eyes, "But you said it yourself sis, first impressions are important, and I think Iris' just told me everything I need to now about her."
Ayame sighed, deciding to try to draw her sister's attention away from the foe it had taken her only a few minutes to make.
"Anyway," She said, turning to Zeik, "What's your class schedule look like? Skyler and I are both in Intro to Swordfighting next, but maybe we'll meet up later in the day?"
