Since there were ten of us, we had to take up multiple booths. The booths themselves only fit four people. I sat next to Kyle and across from the two girls that chose us for the date. Mike and Jack were on the next booth with their dates. It was the holdouts who had the third booth to themselves. I got to talk to Chelsea and Rosalyn. They were a year younger than us and so did not have their second genders revealed. That was good in a way. We did not have to worry about getting rejected for being too submissive. Chelsea really only wanted to eat, but Rosalyn was giving us a chance. We talked about ourselves and how we were in the tryouts. Kyle was the one to tell them that we had the scholarships for the hero courses. Even Chelsea looked impressed with that. "So you two must have some impressive powers. All I can do is speak to plants. Nice in the countryside, not so much in a big city like this. I wish I had a useful ability." Rosalyn said with a sigh. "Don't let that stop you. Go be a hero in the countryside. I thought I would be left behind too until someone stuck up for me." Kyle encouraged.
I was impressed with how open he was being. "I can turn into animals." Chelsea offered. "That's a great power. I bet it is really easy to get around and achieve all sorts of tasks that way." I said positively. Shape shifting was no thing to sneeze at. She blushed and looked back down at her food. "...Thanks." she whispered into her fries. "I've been telling her that this whole time! I'm glad someone else said it." Rosalyn beamed. It was great that the four of us were getting along. When the food was done, we exchanged numbers. Kyle and I got both of their numbers. "Thank you for taking us here." Chelsea said. Rosalyn nodded in agreement. "That's okay. We all just wanted to make sure you guys were doing okay. Maybe we can make this more than a one time thing. I'll call you on Saturday and maybe we can catch a movie." Kyle offered as he stood in Rosalyn's personal space. "Yeah. I'd really like that. It's a date Kyle." she said. I looked at Chelsea and said "I'm free on Friday after school. We can go to the mall." She nodded and the two joined their friends. Kyle and I fist bumped when the group left.
Mike sighed through his nose as he watched them walk down the block. "You know what that bitch said!? She said I had bug wings!" Jack laughed and said "Sometimes the ladies want someone like me, a guy that won't buzz them off." He got a number and a date planed for the next day. Her name was Jane and she could make ice with her hands. "She was came with you, dude. Danielle was totally going to give you her number until you ripped that massive fart as she touched your wings!" I looked at him and almost died laughing. "You... did what?" I choked out as I tried to hold back my laughter. "Look, I was nervous. I was almost getting used as a gang toilet last week. I wanted a to be with a girl, but then she said that about my wings. Then I just focused on my food. I didn't know their burgers would make me rip ass like that. I was startled. My wings are really sensitive." I nodded and kept my composure. "I get it. I am sorry. But at least you know it is possible to get one yourself. Just lay off the burgers and learn to take a joke for once." He nodded thoughtfully. "I guess I can." he added after thinking.
