Marta smiled as Gen popped into her lap. They had worked on Kara’s together and Marta really felt like she had connected with the other girl - not as much as Sterling, but Gen seemed to like her. Marta wrapped her arms around the girl.
People really started to talk and the conversation moved. Knowing she wasn’t the only one who felt behind in school. Elyse has been right. This was doing her a lot of good, showing her that she wasn’t alone once again. The conversation seemed to flow naturally, moving from school goals to life goals. Hayden mentioned himself dancing and Marta took it for the joke she it was meant to be, grinning until she noticed that Sterling was looking away. The other older girls were too. Marta had not. Marta closed her eyes, sniffing at the air. Embarrassment mostly - it clicked that they all thought Hayden attractive. Marta felt different again. Why didn’t she feel the same.
Marta decided to come to Hayden’s rescue by speaking of her aspirations. The thought of dancing at Kallisti never entered her mind. She’d had enough of selling sex. ”I want to write and draw comic books when I’m older.” she let go of Gen enough to pull her backpack off and and pulled out her drawing tablet and handed it to Hayden. The first two were 2D drawings of the 3D drawings that she had done of Sterling when they first met. The others included drawings of other super heroes - Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Scarlet Witch, ect. - but she had a few originals. One being a girl with a wolf motif that she had based off of herself. ”The first two need to go to Sterling. They’re a gift.”
