"Yeah, I'd definitely like to get to know you better, Lorna," said Hotstreak. He grinned, and inwardly decided that the Xavier Institute had the potential to be his best experience at any school. No one except for some of the teachers would know about his extensive juvenile hall record. There was also no obnoxious smartmouthed superhero with electromagnetic powers and a fondness for purple trenchcoats to ruin his fun.

"Let's start with your phone number and making plans for this weekend."

He would definitely like to get to know her better, he wanted her phone number, and he was already pushing for this weekend. Lorna never wanted this excited rush she was feeling to go away.

"Oh, yes. My telephone number. That would...be helpful." Quickly, she dug a notebook and pen out of her bag. She jotted down her number and wrote her name above it in cursive. It didn't even occur to her that he could just take out his own phone and enter it in. Technology was not a big influence in her life. She ripped off that part of the page and offered him the paper.

"This weekend sounds lovely. Perhaps I could also," she pursed her lips in a pause, then smiled meekly, "give you a tour of the Institute? I have not been here long, but I've always had a capital sense of direction."

"I'd like that," he said, offering his arm. Of the many possible words that might be used to describe him, shy was nowhere to be found in that list. And while he'd gotten a campus tour already, Lorna might emphasize different areas of the school on her tour. A refresher didn't hurt.

All thoughts of getting to math class on time were already right out the window, but he reasoned that it was all in the name of learning his way around and starting off open to making new friends, just like his therapist encouraged him to be.

He was offering her his arm, like a gentleman. Lorna did not have the heart to tell him that she meant for the tour to be later. She had to get to class, after all, and...

And...

She could feel her heart start to race right before she took his arm, resting her hand against his bicep. He was just so warm. Oh, and he smelled nice, too. Well, if her teacher was cross with her, Lorna was just doing her duty to show a new student around the school. This was making him feel more welcome, right?

"Well, on the left we have a science lab, and to your right is a very good likeness of a Monet..."

(ooc: Sounds perfect!)
