It was the first day of being human. Or, at least pretending he was human. Sadly for Alit, he could not simply teleport to and from school; as Durbe said, he would have to walk everywhere in order to fit in. This meant walking to school every day from then on until he could put his plan into action.
There was one main problem he was posed with, however. He could have wandered around Heartland City as long as he wanted, but he knew he would have never found the school on his own. Combing his fingers through his hair, he had to think of something to get to school on time. Asking for directions was cowardly, cheap, pathetic. Glancing around, there was no one in the same uniform he was in. There was no alternative.
Mornings were usually busy, with people on their way to work or walking their children to school. Everyone was in a rush, briskly walking to get to their destination on time. No one seemed to be in the mood to be disrupted by a lost and confused thirteen year old - or that was how old he appeared to be in his current form - wanting to know where school was. He knew they would lecture him and go back to their daily business, and he would have wasted time talking to them.
Alit was aware; standing around doing nothing was also wasting time. He needed to pick a person at random. Fast. When his sights locked onto a silver-haired man who stood out from the crowd, he was certain this would be the person he was going to need.
"Hey, excuse me," he started, stopping the stranger. The man didn't look like the type to be interested in helping people, and Alit was quickly beginning to regret his choice. "I'm really lost, and I just moved here. I don't really know where my school is." He laughed a little, trying to ease his nerves. It did nothing.
The man could have easily been compared to a sky scraper compared to Alit. He was small, insignificant, and easily crushed under those heeled boots of his. If the need arose, he could fight back, and he was prepared. Everything about the man was emphasised to be intimidating, or so it seemed. Well, it worked. But Alit didn't back down from simple intimidation.
