Getting to Know You! [Nikita]

[alliejones]

With a cheerful whistle, Allie F. Jones entered the cutesy cafe. She was in a ridiculously good mood! It was the beginning of a new school year and she was now officially an upper class man! Sure, she wasn't a senior yet, but she was almost top dog! Not that she had a power complex or anything. Nope! Not at all.

... She just liked being the leader that's all.

Heroes were natural leaders after all!

But that wasn't the point, she was here at the good 'ole Sweeties Cafe to meet up with her partner Nikita Arlovskaya for World History. It was a pretty basic project- one of those "get to know your classmates and then present it to the class." Normally the interview would take place in class, but the teacher ran out of time. Ms. K was a stickler to following her outline, so just quickly paired people up and told them to interview each other over the weekend.

Allie was actually delighted with being paired off with one of the Arlovaskaya twins. They were totally cute! Except that whole obsession with Ivan was just downright creepy. Maybe now that they were partners, Allie could change Niki's mind!

With a great deal of optimism, the American girl plopped down into a chair and waited for her partner to arrive.

Nikita was not in the least amused, a slight frown adorning his features. His World History teacher just assigned him to one of the rambunctious twins from America. He had wished so badly that his partner would be his loving Bpat, Ivan Braginsky. Not that there was something Nikita didn't know about his Bpat. Nikita knew everything about Ivan: from the exact color of his eyes (breathtaking, piercing blue-violet) down to how much hair he had on his head (143,836 strands of soft beige-blond hair).

Back to the matter at hand, he was quite displeased. He had no intention in getting to know the female of the two loud-mouthed pigs. During class, Nikita couldn't hold back a twitch when the female American waltzed up to him and in her amplified voice, told him to meet him at the Sweetie's Cafe. Before he switch the location over to the library, she had already gone. So there he was, standing right in front of the sugar-infested cafe. He might as well go in and get this horrible project over with. Time must have been against him that dreadful day. Normally this type of project would be done within class, but time decided to poke fun at him. Ms. K as well. why could she have not paired him with Ivan? He let out a sigh; Ivan would not approved of him being such a child. He should just do as the teacher instructed.

Straightening himself, he strolled into the cafe and spotted the female American sitting on a chair that was right next the window. She was deliberately doing this to him, wasn't she? Purposefully sitting next the window where everyone could see them together clear as day. He hoped that Sestra-Natalya, his older twin, would not come by the Cafe... not that she actually had a reason to. He didn't peg Sestra-Natalya as the one to enjoy sweets. He hoped no one he knew came by the cafe. It was already humiliating enough to walk into the cafe, his humiliation would be doubled if someone from his family saw him with the female American. With a barely noticeable sigh, he headed towards the table and took a seat.

"Let us get this over with quickly, da?" he spoke, staring right at the American.

So perhaps deciding to meet up in the Sweetie's Cafe wasn't exactly the most traditional place to work on an assignment. Most people opted to work on assignments in the library. But that was so boring and predictable! Besides the assignment was to interview each other, right? That implied talking and everybody knew you weren't supposed to talk in the library! Not that had ever stopped Allie before from talking in the library. There was even that totally uncool time she got kicked out of the library!

Librarians sure could be scary sometime.

Nikita sure was taking his sweet time wasn't he? Where was he? He wouldn't bail on here now would he? He seemed the type to care about his grades. Which was good, because Allie cared about her grades too! Despite the fact that Allie displayed such a fun-loving personality, grades were really important to her. She wanted to go far in life and wanted to graduate the top of her class from Asher Academy. After all, she wanted to be the best super hero she could possibly be!

Oh! There he was! Her partner had finally arrived on the scene! Really, she would think Niki would be more punctual than this. Oh well! It didn't matter he was finally here! Giving him her her brightest small, she began waving him over to where she was. "Niki! I've over here!" she called over loudly.

Soon enough, he had joined her at the table she had picked out for them. It was right by the window, because Allie loved having a view. Looking outside to watch the sea of people passing her by was always fun. There were just so many interesting people in the world!

When he said he wanted to get this done quickly, Allie couldn't help but frown for a moment. But only a moment, before the smile was back again. "... That's the attitude Niki!" cheered Allie on, "I just have a feeling we'll be awesome partners!"

Nikita flinched at the loudness Alexandra was emitting, complete with emphasis. He was right in front of her, meaning she had no reason to shout. Does she not know the existence of 'Indoor voices'? And there was yet another thing that bothered him. She said it exactly twice and twice was way more than enough.

"My name is Nikita. Only my family is allowed to call me Niki," he stated, giving her a 'Bl' look. "You are not family. Do not call me Niki." He then proceeded on taking out a pen and a notebook, flipping open to an clean page. He tapped the point of his pen onto the page. "Let us begin, da? We are to know of each other, according to the assignment given." In neat, close to computerized handwriting, he wrote the female American's name in the header.

"And I do not wish to be an 'awesome' partner," he spoke, his disdain emphasizing the word 'awesome'. "I just wish to get this assignment done as soon as possible." He had much better things to do with his time and he wanted to get away from the female American as soon as possible. After all, why would he want to spend time with one of those who bully his lovely Bpat. "Do hurry up and tell me about yourself, da?"
