This was a mistake.
Charles peeked into the room, where the sirens were warming up, 'Great. I'm already late..'
He gently tugged on the strap of his satchel, wondering on whether he should go inside or not.
"Hey. Are you lost?"
Frank swam up to him. Charles felt a wave of relief, "You're a siren, too?"
Frank pulled back his flannel sleeve and showed a bracelet with all of the colors of the rainbow. "Yep. The only Straight I am is a straight up bitch.", he smiled.
Charles let out a short laugh, "Good one."
"There's a lot more where that came from.", Frank replied, 'shooting' Charles with finger guns, "What about you?"
Charles showed his bracelet, "Bisexual."
"Ooh, nice. We haven't had someone like you in a while."
"Wait, you do classes like this all the time?", Charles asked.
"Hey, it's only to control my powers. I don't go up above water and act like I'm cute.", Frank replied, his hair swooping over one of his vibrant green eyes.
"Yeah, that's why I'm here, too.", Charles spoke.
"So I guess you're in the same class as me, then? Just learning the basics."
Charles nodded.
"Well, I guess we can't keep everyone waiting."

The two entered into the classroom together and took seats next to each other. Their instructor looked over at Frank, seemingly a glare. Frank raised his hand.
"I was helping the new kid find his class."
"Do you have a pass from the headmaster?", their teacher asked.
"Well, no, but-"
"Then you're not excused."
A few of the others in the class started murmuring to each other and snickering as Frank rolled his eyes. Frank glanced over to Charles, "She's always like this in the morning."
"Oh.", Charles nodded.
"This doesn't open up conversation, children.", their teacher snapped, "Charles, stand up and tell the class a little bit about yourself."
Charles stood up, "I'm Charles and I'm Bi.".
The entire class erupted as Charles slumped down in his seat.
Frank chuckled, "Quick and to the point. I like it."
"Everyone already thinks I'm weird."
"No they don't. Calm down. They think you're... uh.."
"A freak of nature.", Charles grumbled.
"A great looking guy.", Frank smiled.
"Wow, Thanks."
"You're welcome bud."
Charles sat back up, "So we're friends now?"
"Basically.", Frank shrugged, "You're gonna need one."
Charles nodded, "True."
Frank stuck his hand out, "Friends?"
"Friends."
