At Foxfire

Jensi was on his way to orientation when Sophie and her posse came up to him. "Hey Jensi. Mr. Forkle told us you've manifested as a morpher. Wanna sit with us at lunch today?" Sophie asked.

Jensi stifled a laughter. Subtlety was not Sophie strong suit. "No, I'd rather sit with my friends.", he said flatly, heading towards the Drooly Boys.

All throughout the day, Jensi wondered how the Black Swan knew. When he got home, he asked his mother and she said she didn't tell anyone, because she had been busy with work. Jensi had a sneaking suspicion he knew who told them.

"Hey Niko, what did you do today?", he asked dragging Niko into a corner the first chance he got.

"Work", Niko replied, sounding somewhat nervous. Suuuuure he did. Jensi didn't know how he missed it before, but Niko had a job that probably took an hour, yet was always gone all day. And besides, wasn't one of the Black Swans leaders a phaser?

"Black Swan work", he asked innocently. Niko cringed.

"How did you know?", he asked.

"You weren't as subtle as you may have thought", he responded smugly.

"So, lemme guess, you want me to tell Sophie and her friends?"

"No I want to tell them." Finally he thought. Now I know some thing they don't.
