It was quite day for Lumina so far. She couldn't remember the last time she had actually attended classes, as last year was kind of a blurry mess with the school getting destroyed and shut down and all that jazz, and with all the other things that she had done and seen and gone through. It was kind of nice to return to normalcy, though she couldn't help but wonder how long it would actually last for. Knowing her luck, and the luck of the school and certain students and faculty of it, she was really quite unsure of what the future of FHS would hold. Personally, she didn't mind school and actually quite enjoyed learning, so the fact that she could have a semblance of a normal life and go to classes like normal people was really nice in her opinion.
It was the first time since she started attending classes that she actually went to class with her wings out in the open. The two years that she had attended before this she was a lot more shy than she was now (though quite a bit of shyness still remains), so she had always hidden her wings out of fear and caution. She was always worried about what people would think of them, fearing negative criticism. And if she revealed she was a phoenix, she was scared to find out that she was the only one, as she hadn't known any others of her species prior to enrollment. For these reasons and a few more, Lumina hid away the part of herself that defined who she really was. But this year, this year was different. Though still somewhat meek, Lumina felt more sure of herself, finally feeling okay to show the world who and what she really was. She was nervous about it, but by lunch she found that it was actually a good decision. Students that she had shared classes with in the past who hadn't seen her wings before came up to her and commented on how beautiful they were, expressing how she wished she would have shown them sooner. Perhaps she should have, but she wasn't ready to at the time. But after meeting Kenji and Asuka and Akira and Autumn and everyone else, she finally was.
The first few classes seemed to fly by. First it was Magic History, then it was English, and then it was a class for those who could fly. She was diligent in taking notes and paying attention, though actually raising her hand to participate and answer questions was a different story. She knew the answers to all the questions the teachers asked, but not once did she raise her hand to answer them, feeling too shy to do so. Thankfully the teachers didn't catch on and never called on her, so she didn't have to deal with fumbling over her words like she always did. Despite this, she still enjoyed learning what was being taught, and was proud of herself in her flight class that she was actually able to participate for once. Every flight class she had been enrolled in prior to this year, Lumina had to awkwardly explain to the teacher that she didn't know how to actually fly, despite being a being with natural-born wings for the purpose of flying. It was a relief that finally this year she could say she actually would be able to participate, and she finally learned how to fly.
Once her flight class was over, it meant that lunch was about to start, and having flown for the first time in quite a while had actually given her quite the appetite. Her stomach was growling at her as she collected her things into her bag and followed the crowds of students to the cafeteria, noting just how many people were actually in the giant room at the same time. Immediately she began to feel more anxious and unsure, not really liking being amidst so many different people of all species and sizes. Maybe it would be better to eat lunch outside... were they even allowed to eat lunch outside? It had been so long since she ate food in the cafeteria that she wasn't actually sure. Sighing and trying not to make a big deal out of her insecurities, getting into line to grab whatever food looked the tastiest. One good thing about FHS was that the food was always excellent. You never needed to worry about not having something to eat you wouldn't like or having gross food. If there was going to be one good thing about having lunch in a crowd and getting stressed out about it, it was that she was at least going to enjoy her food.
Little did Lumina know that the one thing that could possibly calm her down at a time like this was actually sitting eating his food in the same room as her. Kenji was already having lunch and eating it by the time that she got to the cafeteria, and there were so many people that she didn't really notice him. Or maybe she was just so focused on getting food that she just passed him by without realizing it. It probably could have been both. Either way, Lumina sat down at a few tables in front of Kenji, her back facing him as she sat down and tried to eat her food in as calm a manner as possible. There was noodles and salad on her plate, as well as a bag of chips and a bottle of water to accompany it. The whole incident with dying and coming back had kind of gotten rid of her eating disorder, though for a small moment looking at the food did make her want to just throw it away and not eat at all, but she contributed the feeling to just being nervous from being around so many people. As she ate Lumina couldn't help but wonder what her pair was up to, as she hadn't seen him since school had started. Honestly she wasn't even sure if he was actually going to school this semester at all. It wouldn't surprise her if he wasn't, considering his older brother was the principal. Well, if that was the case, then hopefully she'd at least be able to see him after the school day was over or something. Lumina looked off to the side, spacing out and holding her bottle of water in her hand as she became lost in thought about school, all the people, and Kenji.

...ΨKenji continued to eat his food in peace. His mother would always describe the way he would eat dinner as like a child with a bag of mixed candy. He'd pick all his favourite things off the plate first, and would then slowly eat the remaining food when he was half-satiated. He would eat like food was going out of style. He crammed it in thick and fast, consuming a meal that had taken two hours to prepare and cook in a matter of minutes. As he continued to eat his food, his red irises wandered the room, and soon caught sight of a familiar blonde hair woman who had sat a few tables infront of him. He released a small smile and stood up, picking up his tray as he did so. He walked over to the table Lumina was sitting at and placed his tray onto the table's surface. He spoke as he tilted his head and gave her a small wink. After he spoke, he sat down infront of LuminaΨ...
“ Hey, Lumi-chan~ It's too crowded in here, I almost didn't see you~ ”
