Training sessions were kinda boring when it came to action wise. Nothing special really happened. Though he looked forward to the days where Archie was their team leader. He usually wore the same outfit which fitted his torso perfectly. It always made him wish he had less self control than he did but the most he could do was stare while there was time before the session started. Then it was the battle of trying not to be distracted during the session. Or to not get yelled at it seemed. Mara always complain he rode them too hard compared to everyone else but August honestly didn't care. He got to stare longer before he walked off.

Wrapping his arm around Mara as they stood and waited, he smiled as he lifted her off the ground slightly and laughed as she tried to get out. "Oh calm down" he smiled as he set her down. "You're favorite professor is teaching today" he continued. He laughed as she rolled her eyes and stood closer to him. "You mean yours" she mumbled quietly, more for herself than to him. 

August really didn't have a comeback for her as he stood them and let her mooch off his heat. She knew. She knew everything about him and that was just because he had told her. He knew just as much about her as she did him but she never forgot. That was the fun of it at least in August's mind. 

Tipping the chair, August could feel the balance point of the chair as he held the chair there for a moment before letting it fall back onto the floor. Detention. In Cuba. The thought always made him laugh, no matter how long he had been at this school, he was in Cuba. Taking classes on how to be a better person. No one outside this school cared how he acted. They had already passed judgement on him and the professor that was babysitting him today at least knew that. He had been a part of the crew that had rescued him almost two years ago now.

Now he was here, going to school again. Taking college classes like the entire world wasn't out for his, or anyone at this school's death. Mutants. The whole lot of them and here the adults still made them take ethics. When to use and not use their powers. How to act. Even though they held no rights in the world, they were still to act like they were human, not monsters. But they were neither in his opinion. Maybe both, a mix of both. August knew some of his powers well enough to know how easy it would be to kill a human, as long as the sun was up. He never had tried it but the thought was always in the back of him mind whenever he had found himself cornered. 

But since coming to this school he had learned new things about himself, about his powers, and it made him appreciate the little island more than he normally would. But their insistence of punishment for breaking the rules was rather annoying. He was an adult and being punished for using powers outside the training arena. The sun was out and that was were he wanted to be. Under the sun and hanging out with his friends rather than being inside with Archie watching the time tick by ever so slowly.

"Can I go yet?" he asked in a bored tone.

It wasn't that he didn't enjoy his time with the professor, August enjoyed his classes even if he thought they were pointless, he just waned to be outside rather than sitting in silence with him.
