Posy waggled her fingers at Dakota in hopes that he would follow her having all ready taken note of the gleam in Ruby's eyes and her phone in hand. Posy didn't have to be a genius to put it together and raised her eyebrows as she lazily grinned at the redhead. If she pressed she might be able to get Ruby to stay and plan the party plus it didn't hurt that the girl's eyes lit up when she caught sight of Kota. Yet when Posy saw that even Valentina couldn't keep Ruby present she knew there wasn't much anyone could do. Anyway who was she to stand in the way of
True for the moment?
Wandering in amongst the small congregation of students the tall pink haired girl found a spot near the center and handily took the buds from Kaelana, grinning to herself as she thought about the fact that half of them were skipping their first class yet they still didn't feel right about not calling roll.
"In my pocket." Posy said in a light sing song as she produced a small wooden box from within one of the many pockets of her robe. You could always count on Pocketful of Posies to have plenty of surprises tucked away. Silently sliding open the small kit she'd fashioned together through years of happenstance she began to deftly pull apart the buds before rolling them into joints to be passed amongst those who did choose to partake. Glancing quickly at Kota she tried to decipher if perhaps he was disappointed with the fact she wasn't in class, but then again neither was he. Of course, as he would like to point out to her, he also hadn't failed...twice. Turning her attention back to her task she listened mutely as passed her finished product back to Kaelana and slipped her box back into the blue silk robe draped around her.
Sitting back down she crossed her legs and pressed her hands together looking very much like a neo-grunge glam guru blessing their proceedings. "Well then it's decided. All that's left is when? I'd say this weekend can't come soon enough."
Henry nodded to the rest of the group and turned his attention back to Haven who'd by this time had gone very quiet, looking up at his friend Henry noticed her smile had faded as well. Making what he liked to think of as his sad puppy dog face he did his best to draw Haven's attention to himself. He proceeded to stick out his tongue, cross his eyes and make every goofy face he could think of before noticing Nina's presence beside them. Turning a bright shade of red Henry straightened his face and managed to smile cheerfully while feeling like a complete idiot. Their previous
meeting leaving no impact on the boy whatsoever. It wasn't like the girl had purposely decided to take a spill and make Henry, Haven and even herself a victim. It was an accident, an accident caused by an idiot on purpose.
Turning his attention back to Kaelana he couldn't help but to feel a bit of excitement at the thought of the upcoming party. A distraction was something Henry could always look forward to, the less time he had to dwell on his thoughts the better and to be perfectly honest drinking always seemed to be his go to cure all. He didn't go out and wreak havoc or turn his anger on others, he didn't go out and get laid or use others to forget his pain. Alcohol just made sense to him. Henry's ability made it difficult for him to get drunk, let alone wasted and even when he did finally reach a point of non-sobriety there was no hangover the next day. No sick stomach or pounding headache, just lots and lots of booze, the stronger the better. He got to feel warm, happy and carefree and all it took was a bit of a drink. Well, a lot of drinks.
Sitting up Henry leaned forward a small frown appearing on his face for the first time at the mention of no liquor, but quickly dismissed his disappointment with the idea that what people didn't know couldn't hurt them. What he kept on his own person was his business and it wasn't like he'd get sloppy drunk, he'd just get to feel something. Like the rest of the kids did.
For the third time in less than a day Nina once again gained his attention. This time because of the mention of her lack of party going expertise. Henry was even able to drag Haven to parties occasionally, well not drag, his best friend definitely didn't do anything she didn't want to. Something that he admired her for and kind of hoped would rub off on him.
"Well, Nina that's something that is definitely going to have to change and I couldn't think of a better place to start than here." He proclaimed cheerfully, his trademark grin flashing across his face as he looked up at the new girl.
Elle smiled and nodded approvingly at Rhine. They might not be happy right now or have exactly what they wanted but they were clever. They had all the tools and now all they had to do was use them, for what? Who knew, but for now? Definitely for fun, and if they weren't having fun they'd just fake it til they made it. After all appearances seemed to be everything around here. Laughing softly along with her friend she trailed behind the elfin, blonde girl. Elle never felt as comfortable or as free with her emotions or actions like other people. The stubborn ginger only operated on two levels. One that was full of surface emotions like anger, lust or contentment that flitted by rapidly and never stayed long and one that was full of a deep, quiet wrath with a dark sense of entitlement. She knew no other way and only understood that most people were different once she was able to actually be them.
"Mess with a new kid? That's probably the way it'd have to be, everyone else can see us coming a mile away." Elle replied with a quick grin as she kept pace with Rhine. That wasn't exactly true but it was true that their fellow schoolmates knew what they could do and in some cases even what they were capable of. A quick image of Henry's face flashing through her brain before she shook her head as if to erase his very existence. "Any ideas? I could do the whole jump into an animal freak people out thing with how clever the squirrel is...but that's getting pretty old. If only I could take over a flock of birds, pull a Hitchcock. That'd be fun." She mused, finding herself curious about the idea of dominating a hive mind, not birds perhaps but there were definite possibilites. Something she would have to bring up with Jason when she saw him next perhaps.
The precocious teenager had long since stopped asking her teachers about her ability and most definitely not about the advancement of it. She didn't often show it but Elle was perfectly aware that she creeped people out. The thought of her possessing someone was too much for some, even for some teachers she thought. It was as if she were an actual walking,talking demon going to class beside them, didn't hurt that she was officially evil now either. That was why she cultivated a relationship with Jason. He was brilliant and calculating and surprisingly good at mentoring though she'd never tell him so. He'd actually taught her a bit about restraint, something the actual professors had yet to do.
"Keep your eyes peeled, Rhine." Maybe we'll get lucky and won't have to search far for some fun." Elle finished as she continued on in the general direction of their classes.
"Bloody hell!" exclaimed Sally as she pressed the palm of her hand to her chest as if to steady her heart. "Doubt I'll ever get use to that." She said with a grin and a small laugh at Vaughan Bennett who'd just teleported himself directly into her classroom as other fourth years began to file in through the door. Sally had been expecting a lot of things but teleportation wasn't one of them. How utterly fascinating she thought, to be here and then there at the snap of your fingers...or however it worked.
"You must be..." Sally began as she read over the small dossier she'd received on her students and hadn't cracked open once until now. Considering that they all had their own unique powers with their own unique quirks and needs it was quite helpful to know what the students could do and what they were capable of. "Vaughan Bennett." She finished brightly, her dimples flashing as she smiled at the boy and turned her attention to the rest of the class now finding their seats.
"Yes, Good morning, hello everyone. Sit where you'd like, no seating charts. I don't have the patience for that." She called out, her english accent soft yet quite pronounced, as she moved to lean back against the front of her desk. Silently smoothing out the skirt of her blue dress she clasped her hands in front of her and stared out at the classroom that was quickly beginning to fill up. Taking a deep breath she tried to calm the nerves that were once again beginning to settle in the pit of her stomach.
"Welcome to Health Class. I am Miss Winters and as most of you know by now. I am new here, so please be kind and patient and we'll probably all make it out of here alive."
