G+C - Detention

From the iAnti Gifts and Curses AU:

Let’s see…what was she in detention for today? Az dug a hand into her pocket to pull out her detention slip, squinting slightly while trying to make out her math teacher’s chicken scratch. Ah, that’s right…sleeping in class. Heh. Not like it was really her fault, math was just too damn boring. When the rest of the class was busy practicing the stupid problems on the board, Az occupied herself by catching up on precious sleep. The teacher had only noticed that she was dozing when she actually started to snore, much to the amusement of the rest of class. Sure enough, Mr. Peabody came stomping down the aisle to whap her over the head with a rolled up wad of papers. Man, didn’t they outlaw child abuse years ago? She grunted before prying her cheek off of her book, blinking a few times before rolling violet eyes to settle upon her disgruntled teacher as he barked at her. She sat upright and ruffled her white and black bangs, tuning him out before remarking dully that math was worthless in the real world. Of course, she just had to throw in the fact that it was even more pointless when you were a mutant. Mutants had enough trouble just living in the outside world, let alone working. It was when she said she had absolutely no plans to become a fucking rocket scientist or lame ass accountant that he had snapped and handed her a detention slip. She merely shrugged and stuffed it in her pocket along before going back to sleep. What was he going to do? Expel her. HA. She was only twelve…they were stuck with her until she turned eighteen and then they’d be forced to unleash her upon the unsuspecting homo sapiens. First things first, she’d start with those assholes who had given her up. Her parents. She’d take back her brother and then they could rot in a frozen hell for all she cared.

Kicking the door to detention open, she smirked and handed over her slip to the presiding teacher who inwardly winced when they realized that Az was there again. More often than not, Az had a seven-hour school day rather than the typical six due to all of her detentions for various reasons which ranged from silly pranks to smart-assed comments to violence. Although only in the sixth grade, she held the record above all of the other students including those in the high school classes for sheer amount of times she’d been sent to both detention and the headmaster’s office. Oh, Mercutio Marlowe Sr. knew her quite well; they did lunch together a lot. He was an okay sort of guy, but wayyyy too naïve in her personal opinion. Despite only being twelve, she was quite jaded and extremely knowledgeable about the ways of the world due to real life experience. In addition to her impressive record of disciplinary action, she also held the record for most successful break outs from the campus. Of course, she always brought back a little something from her excursions; regardless of whether it was a treat for Tricky or a new scar to show off from brawling.

Az simply smirked as she turned to shuffle her way down the aisle, but perked when she spotted the one person she loved to pester. Machine Noblesse; the quiet freak show with lots of chains and more black clothing than a funeral director. She’d made her secret life’s mission to get him to crack and say something to her. Why? Well, out of boredom, of course…it was just too much fun to pester the sulky antisocial bastard! Flopping down in her seat beside him, she propped her elbows upon the desk top then let her head fall into her open palms while a cheeky grin spread from ear to ear as she eyed him up and down like she always did. “Hyoo~…looking as grumpy as ever, I see. What are you in for today? Did you put some sort of voodoo hex on one of the teachers? I think you did.” Not really, but it was fun hearing herself talk while watching him for some sort of reaction. "Is that your power?" She knew perfectly well it wasn't, though what it was...well, she wasn't sure of that either. "Or maybe you just missed me so much that you went and got yourself another detention so you could see me, hmm?" Definitely NOT.


Yes, she's a delinquent.
