Haven Tatumn's Story

A sigh escaped the tumbled pile of pillows and blankets that encased Elinor Lethbridge like a cocoon. With a small mewl and a stretch she flipped back the covers and sat upright and sighed again. With a resigned shrug she slid her feet into her slipper and looked across her room to the the perfectly made bed and smiled. "'Spose Myra's been wandering the night again." Elle muttered to herself as she rose to shower. She spent the next fifteen minutes plotting out her goals for the year as she usually did and repeated positive affirmations to herself as she toweled off. After blow drying, curling and make-up application Elle was finally capable of making an appearance in polite company. She knew some kids just went to breakfast in pajamas and didn't care how disturbing it was for other people to have to witness. That was the last thing she could relate to. She might dislike her parents but they always raised her to always put her best foot forward. That included appearance.

Entering the cafeteria the tall redhead looked around nonchalantly, trying to gauge the new kids and perhaps trying to catch a glimpse of any friends who might be among the crowd. Exiting the line her dark green eyes wandered around the room. Catching sight of Arturo's table she flashed a slight grin before moving on, her gaze straying a little too long on Warren before she caught a glimpse of Rhine. Straightening her shoulders and flipping her long red hair behind her she walked towards her friend's table. "You're looking like the new kid no one wants to sit with. Thought I'd come and save you the embarrassment." Elle teased as she sat across from Rhine. Opening her milk and plastic utensils, the ginger girl looked around the cafeteria and then back to her friend "Not a whole lot of fresh meat this term, hope it won't be too terribly dull." She remarked before starting in on her pancakes.





"Oh hell" Henry grumbled as he reached out an slapped at the alarm clock before looking over at his roommate through have lidded eyes. Noticing that he was still asleep the seventeen year old took his chance to get in a shower first. Greeted by a spray of cold water the latin boy let out a string of curses dirty enough to make your grandmother turn blue. After suffering though perhaps the worst shower of his life Henry quickly toweled off and slipped into a plain white tee shirt and an old pair of jeans and topped it off with a blazer as he made his way out the door. On second thought he didn't think he looked half bad for waking up so incredibly late as he grinned at his reflection in the hallway mirror.

Breezing through the cafeteria doors Henry immediately got in line and got his food. Starving as he usually was he got as much as they'd let him have. Henry was a growing boy after all. Stepping out of line a grin spread over his face as he noticed Arturo and Cheveyo..or part of Cheveyo, whatever and Ginny. With a small wave he started to make his way to their table before catching sight of Haven in his peripheral vision. Noticing that his best friend seemed a bit anxious he changed direction mid stride and was at Haven's table, within seconds the handsome boy was seated across from her his biscuit nearly half-eaten before he spoke. "Sorry, I was starving." He apologized taking a swig from his milk before he gave his full attention to the girl in front him.
"So what's up? You nervous about class? You know you're smart, you don't have anything to worry about." Henry reassured his friend, a comforting smile stretching across his tan face.





Posy laid quietly in bed as she listened to her roommate rise, get ready and exit their shared room. Vivian seemed kind of delicate and Posy didn't know if perhaps she just bothered the girl more than anything. Although she was dying to ask her what color her aura was. Posy thought pink for sure, maybe aquamarine? Rubbing her eyes she yawned loudly as shook her platinum and pink hair out of her half-lidded blue eyes. The thin teenager stretched like a cat and strolled to her closet pondering what attire would best suit the day. Purple mesh shirt over a neon pink tank? Yes. A pair of acid washed jeans. Double Yes. A silk royal blue robe to top it off? Yes, Triple yes. With a quick glance in the small mirror she kept for herself, Posy grimaced at herself ruffled her hair and left the dorm room.

Grabbing herself an apple and a bottled water Posy wandered around the cafeteria. She'd probably be cool to sit at Arturo's table but she didn't really know Cheveyo or Myra and Genevieve was a complete unknown. Who knows what you might get with her. Then there were the sprinkling of students who sat at tables by themselves. Deciding she didn't really care where she sat the long-limbed teen took a seat with Arturo figuring Kaelana would be along any minute, draping her lanky frame across a chair and propping her legs on the table in front of her. Posy took a noisy bite out of her apple and nodded to other kids in a greeting. Sometimes it was just too early to verbalize, man.






Taking a deep breath Jack looked around the cafeteria. This was the hardest part about being a new kid. Finding a table...a group that won't get up as soon as you sit down. Jack had plenty of experience with that at his last school and it wasn't how he planned this year going. Taking note of the girl that he'd been shown around the school with a few days previously he started walking towards her. They were both new, might as well get a feel for the place together maybe? Strength in numbers and all that.

"Mind if I join you?" Jack asked, his wide smile encompassing his face as he hitched up his black pants and took a seat at Philanie's table. "I figured neither of us know anyone, at least I haven't made any lasting relationships in the last three days. If you have you've gotta let me in on your secret." The charismatic boy offered to his tablemate as he began to neatly eat his breakfast. "So this place is kind of a trip, huh?" Jack said doing his best to break the ice. "That whole good or evil thing, I mean what was that? I'm Jack by the way." He introduced himself, another award winning smile crossing his chiseled features.

The school rattled with voices, low and high mutters that seemed distant, it was all enough to wake him up. The bright light that came from the blinds of his window stung his eyelids. Augustus was never a morning person though something did motivate him to get up today. It was the arrival of the new students, and new students came new personalities and new abilities, this was all exciting to Augustus at the moment. What time is it? Augustus thought, he turned to face his cloak which told him it was close to being 6:30. The new students most have arrived already. Augustus sprung forward, sending his bed sheets soaring to the side. He stretched and went straight to his dresser. He put on his favorite pair of washed out jeans and a Rolling Stones t-shirt that had all the band members signatures on the back. Augustus didn't have the appropriate apparel for a headmaster but he did not care for his choice of clothing at the moment.

Augustus left his room, he was heading for his office to retrieve paperwork so that he could prepare for his history class which was scheduled for later. Walking through the halls Augustus was approached by many familiar faces. "Good morning," he said to many. Once reaching his office, he observed the room. His office was big but scattered with paperwork, the usual. He was never organized but something was off. His office smelt of hard liquor and made him wonder if anyone got hold of his stash of alcohol. He checked but his bottles still remained, he smirked. Once finding the papers he needed there was talking coming from the shades of his door. As he reached for the door knob Kaelana barged in.

Augustus himself was startled, Kaelana was not looking like herself but more like the female version of The Hulk. Her hair was green, she had a tattoo which was out sized and her eyes were in the transition of turning green. "I assume you crossed paths with Avalyn." Augustus tried not to laugh, Avalyn was the school prankster, she would even prank the staff and it was all for the good matter but Kaelana looked like she wasn't taking it lightly. "Kaelana whatever Avalyn pulled on you, it will wear out, trust me!" Augustus wasn't so sure of himself but comfort was what Kaelana needed."Now let's go get breakfast, I'll escort you." Augustus locked the door behind him and went with Kaelana to the cafeteria.

Upon arrival Augustus gingerly pushed Kaelana to the people she hung out with, who were sitting in the middle. Arturo and Genevieve were looking rather devious but Augustus didn't want to bother. "Who here is ready for my history class?" Augustus was loud and bold, he searched the cafeteria for a reaction, only a couple of hands flew which made Augustus frown. He poured himself some cereal and chewed away. In the corner of the room was one of Augustus' favorite students, Haven Tatumn. Augustus smiled at her and moved his gaze across the cafe. He searched for the new faces and planned to approach them individually. Augustus got up from the counter which he was leaning on and moved towards a girl and a boy, he could already recall both of their names. "Philanie and Jack is it? Welcome to Maldoy!" Augustus said it with the most warmth and welcoming. "If both of you need anything or need someone to talk to, I'm always in my office."Augustus locked eyes with both of them for a long second and Augustus moved swiftly out of the cafeteria.





Vaughan's ears were buzzing, his head was pounding. He was slightly hung over which is rather ridiculous because its only the second day of school. Vaughan fought the will to fall back asleep and wiggled himself out of his bed and onto the floor. Bradley was still sleeping, his light snores made it difficult not to laugh. Vaughan jumped in the shower, the hot water helped calm down his slight headache. After getting out of the shower, he brushed his teeth, took a minute to floss and then time flew as he stood in front of the mirror complimenting himself. Vaughan put on gray joggers, a white tank top and his favorite pair of sneakers. He wants to go out for a run around the campus before school actually starts. Before leaving he almost forgot to wake up Bradley. He approached the side of his bed and shook Bradley by the shoulder. "Bro wake up, its morning and the new kids are here." Bradley moved around and gestured something with his hands, that was enough for Vaughan to know that he got the message.

Vaughan headed downstairs, and went to the cafeteria to get something to eat before his run. Sitting in the center of the cafeteria were Arturo, Genevieve, Kaelana and Myra. He saw Haven in the corner and Vaughan blinked. Two of the girls he had feelings for were in the same room, and that made Vaughan anxious. He hesitated he tried not to think about it and went straight for the food. He got a rather large meal. A meal which consisted of two plates of scrambled eggs, three pieces of toast, and two bottles of water. He observed the cafeteria for a moment, two people he couldn't recognize sat with each other and those were some of the new kids. Vaughan saw Warren, who was sitting at table by himself. "How's it going, good looking?" Vaughan smirked, he picked the seat across from Warren. Vaughan started to dig in, he hadn't had anything to eat since yesterdays lunch and that was the cause to why his stomach growls sounded like a pack of wolves. Vaughan looked up and locked eyes with Warren. "Do you want to go jogging with me after this? I was planning to go run through the forest," Vaughan asked while taking a big huge bite of his toast.

Henry's hazel eyes widened a bit at Haven's attempt to deny her anxiety to him. He might not be the smartest kid in school but he knew when his best friend was feeling distressed. Putting down his fork he leaned across the table to the blonde girl across from him, and as he reached out to gently pat shoulder in a sign of reassurance he nodded in affirmation to her question "I'm always nervous. Even if I don't have anything to worry about I'll just go find something to be nervous about. Gets kind of messy up there you know? The suddenly solemn boy said quietly, tapping his right index finger on his forehead. "You know what I do?" Henry asked her as he leaned back in his seat a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. With his previous seriousness vanishing without a trace he looked at Haven and then over his shoulder to the table full of his friends. "I fill up any space in my mind, any silence with lots of noise and activity." He finished without giving his friend a chance to even ask if she wanted his advice. It wasn't like Henry was Dear Abby all of a sudden or anything. He wasn't aware of the etiquette.

Henry had taken note of Haven's slight preoccupation with the boisterous table that had plenty of empty space left now that Posy decided she wanted nothing more than to be a Rhodes Scholar or something. Dropping his gaze back to his cooling food in front of him, the dark haired teenager ran a hand through his hair and resumed eating for a moment before glancing back up to see Haven's cross-eyed grimace. Immediately choking on his laughter he covered his mouth with his hands just in case food went flying. Finally recovering, he took a sip of his milk and gave Haven the side-eye. "Haven't I said don't do that when I'm eating. I mean, I'm trying to save you here. I don't think you want a face full of half-chewed eggs" Wiping his mouth with a paper napkin he waggled his distinctly arched eyebrows at his dearest friend. "C'mon Why don't we go over there? Doesn't seem like a whole lot of them are nervous, might rub off on us maybe? Perhaps you can knock 'em dead with your comedic stylings?"

Philanie grinned some at Jack's remark. Hmm – So he's gay? No problem there. She made a mental note to keep an eye on him so that she could determine his sexual preference – It would be really awkward if she was hitting on him and he announced that he swing that way. “Yeah, he's alright I guess.” She offered a light shrug of indifference. Sure, Headmaster Smith was somewhat attractive, but given that he lived forever, she knew that love for him must be an absolute pain. If she was actually capable of caring so deeply for someone, she didn't think that it would be healthy for her sanity to watch loved ones dying year after year. Hell,watching them grow old must be exhausting enough! No, sir. But at this point in time, she didn't really care about anyone enough that immortality would bother her.

She glanced back at Jack as Augustus disappeared into the crowd. “Nervous? Me? Is it that obvious?” She gave a light laugh and shook her head. “I don't think nervous is he right word...Overwhelmed, maybe. I mean – I thought that I was all alone with my...abilities. Never did I think that there were so many of us – Much less an academy! Its...breathtaking. Although, I didn't feel quite as special when I found out that there were so many.” She joked, feigning a pout. Jack seemed like a sweet guy...But Philanie seemed like a sweet girl. “Yeah – This place is pretty big. I have English first period, too! We could sit at the back of the class together; I hope we read some Robert Frost.” She enthused, her small splurge leaking out her secret love of poetry. Her gaze then fell onto the table in the very center of the cafeteria where it seemed a lot of students were gathering...

Cheveyo clone smirked at Myra's response and shook his head. Before he could respond, Jason seemed to come from nowhere and take the words right out of his mouth. “Exactly. While Kaelana is sorting out our Titans stuff, I'm sure Arturo wouldn't mind aiding you in your endeavor to kiss and make up with Calculus.” He chuckled before turning to Jason. “What's good, Jason? You enjoy your break from academics?” Cheveyo was well aware of Jason's reputation as a holier-than-thou prick, but since the man had never acted maliciously against Cheveyo or anyone he cared about, Jason wasn't a threat to him.

Kaelana tapped her chin in response to Posy's question, pursing her lips. “What harm could skipping do? That gives me more time to train and come up with the Titans new number. Or we could just try out some new strains I'm growing.” Kaelana was always thinking about work – School work, A Capella work, Work work, and Training work. She only rested at a party, and even then she was working, coming up with new dance moves. She grinned, running her fingers through her hair. She caught a glance of her arm and sighed, as the tattoos had moved up. “Hey, Pocketful – What do you think about...this stuff?” She motioned to her recent 'makeover' with a light grimace. It wasn't that Kaelana didn't like it – She thought it was pretty sexy. It was just...surprising. And she didn't like those sorts of surprises.

The real Cheveyo was smiling as Anastascia woke up, letting his hand graze gently over her face as she gave him a light kiss. Even without the lip gloss, she still had a sweet taste that sent a chill down his spine. He wanted it to last longer, but he knew how she was about morning make outs – He really hated that she would ever think that she could look even remotely ugly. Even if she had messed up makeup, wild hair, and grungy clothes, Cheveyo would still find her utterly adorable and sexy at the same time. He shook her head as she went into the bathroom to change and rose up from the bed himself. He closed his eyes, taking a few minutes to see where his clone was. He could hear the loud chattering of the cafeteria and could smell fresh fruit. And apparently Calculus had found out that Myra was cheating, so they weren't speaking. He chuckled to himself before opening his eyes.

He gave a light 'oomph' as he withdrew his clone, which caused the Cheveyo in the cafeteria to disappear completely as though he were never there. The real, and only Cheveyo walking about now was throwing on a simple black tank top – He always kept a few spare clothing changes in his girlfriend's room just in case. Plus she said she liked the way they made the room smell; he always sprayed his with his Spirit cologne. He stripped off his boxers and grabbed a pair of black gym shorts – Today was a good day to go commando. Just as he got his shorts pulled on, Anastascia came out of the bathroom. He gave a short wolf-whistle, his eyebrows going up. “You look...amazing.” He smiled widely.

He moved towards her and put his hands on her waist, moving one to gently cup her cheek. “But you know I always think you're beautiful. With a face like that, there's no way you could ever look ugly.” He spoke in a reassuring tone, moving his face down to capture her lips with his. The hand on her waist moved to the small of her back, pulling her closer as he slipped his tongue past her lips with a light smile. He gave a soft 'mmph' as he lifted her up with the one arm, spinning her around before setting her down and breaking the kiss. “You worry too much, love.” He caressed her cheek once more before clasping her hand within his and proceeding out the door, closing it behind him. It was quite the walk down to the cafeteria, but he enjoyed every step.

When they finally got there, he took a seat and pulled Anastascia in close to him, kissing her cheek. “What's good, people?” He smiled wider as he was greeted by a chorus of hey's and a few slaps on the back as well as a punch to the arm here and there. He looked to Arturo, as he sat himself between the Italian and the Brazilian, having set Annie next to Kaelana. “Nice tats, Kaekae. Diggin' the whole nature vibe. The green really goes great with ya.” He grinned some before elbowing Arturo.”Who're the newbies?” He asked, nodding to Philanie and Jack before grabbing a peeled orange.

Arturo offered a shrug, taking his gaze off of Haven. “Beats me, pal. Let's find out, though.” Arturo looked back over at the two new kids and put his fingers between his lips, letting out a high pitched whistle that caused Philanie to turn her head. “Hey, you's two! C'mere!” Arturo called out, using his usual 'mafioso' accent. Philanie pointed to both her and Jack, blinking in a truly surprised manner. What could they want with her and Jack? As Arturo nodded, she glanced to Jack. “Looks like we've been summoned by the popular kids.” She giggled with her joking tone before picking up her tray and moving slowly towards the table.

There were people staring at the two as they walked, though Philanie didn't may them any mind. It was just before she got to the table that she felt a strange sensation in her left foot as though the gravity had been negated in that area alone, causing her to stumble and fall right onto the floor. Her orange juice went flying onto Henry and Haven's table, shattering and getting them both soaked from the lap up as well as pegged with a few shards of glass. Poor Philanie had gotten a mess of oatmeal all over her face and chest. The girl who had done it was standing nearby, laughing with unattractive snorts. Philanie, had she been ready to show what a bitch she was, would have normally gotten up and proceeded to beat the shit out of the blonde bitch. But it wasn't time for that yet – Avalyn had just given her the perfect opening to get the sympathy of others.

She could already hear the 'aww, poor dear!'s and 'Avalyn is such a bitch's as she got up and tried to run away, though ended up slipping in the oatmeal and busting her lip. That actually did hurt. She didn't care about the laughing and the jeers – Her face hurt! The pain had brought up memories of beatings and rapes that she had forced down so long ago, causing her to cry out. “Shut up! Just shut the fuck up! Stop it!” She jumped up, her heels skidding as she managed to run out of the cafeteria, wiping oatmeal and tears from her eyes, leaving a trail of food on her way out to the center courtyard that was seemingly abandoned. The poor girl sat down on the fountain, putting her fists to head, pressing them against her temple as she tried to force her thoughts back to calm.

“Open up your mouth, bitch! Didn't your mother teach you anything?” A man hissed at a small Philanie, who was curled in a corner, crying her poor little heart out. “Shut up! Just shut the fuck up! Stop it!” She cried out, throwing a nearby lamp at him as she attempted to bolt, hoping to escape through the doggy door. The man with blonde hair dodged the lamp and ran to her, snatching her by her hair and wrestling over to the couch. “That's okay! I like 'em nice and feisty!” He snickered as he threw her body down onto the cushions. “Now, let me pop that little cherry.” His laugh was sinister as he began to remove his belt, feeding from the fear in the seven year old's eyes.

Back in the cafeteria, Avalyn had escaped out to the front lawn after Kaelana broke her nose and busted her lip. Genevieve sighed boredly and examined her nails. “She has gonorrhea, anyways. So the joke's on her, I suppose.” Kaelana looked over at Ginny, a puzzled expression gracing her face. “Since when?” The French girl laughed softly. “Since I just said so, tree-hugger.” She shook her head and moved away from the table, going towards her girlfriend. She would help the new girl – But she didn't know her enough to care. She'd help Henry and Haven...But Seychelle was more important. She sat, forcing herself between Carlee and Seychelle. Genevieve didn't like Carlee. As far as she was concerned, Carlee was just a dopey little tag-along that was getting too close to her girlfriend for comfort. Ginny could be a little picky about who Seychelle flirted with. And she just didn't like quiet little Carlee. Nothing really personal. She just didn't like her.

She leaned into Seychelle, making sure to deliver a long, deep, gentle, and passionate kiss before pulling away with her trademark smile. “I hope you enjoyed last night – I felt like I was being a bit too...rough.” She licked her ruby red lips as she leaned in kissing her girlfriend's neck. One could not even begin to describe the levels of possessive that Ginny was on. But, what made her love Seychelle even more was that Chelle didn't care. Genevieve had her friends talk to her all the time about how she should be faithful to Chelle if she really loved her – But apparently they didn't know what polyamorous was. And she had heard enough from some of Seychelle's lackeys about how she needed to stop fucking around on Seychelle or be fair and let Chelle flirt and sleep with other people that Ginny didn't pick. Everyone was a critic. But all that mattered to Genevieve was Seychelle being comfortable. If the self-proclaimed Queen was uncomfortable with their relationship, she would have said so.

Ginny turned her head to Carlee and smiled in a wickedly sweet manner. “Oh, did I come between you two? I'm sorry – You should wear a brighter clothing. I didn't even see you there.” She shrugged and turned her attention back to Seychelle.

Henry scoffed at Haven's words as he rolled his eyes. "Keeping me from my friends? You're my friend. Wait...Unless you're trying to say something?" Henry said with mock horror and indignation, a smile already crossing his face. He liked Haven and knew that sometimes he came off a bit too strong for her. Usually he could tell and try to back off, he was hoping he'd caught himself in time.

Yet before he could find out if he'd offended Haven he instead found themselves covered in orange juice. He'd been so into their conversation he hadn't even noticed the two new arrivals walk by their table until they were covered in sticky juice. Immediately jumping to his feet with a swear he looked up and caught Avalyn's eye. Watching her laugh while she caused a girl to fall on her very first day in front of the whole cafeteria not to mention soaking them in fucking orange juice made Henry see red for a moment. "Way to be a real fucking bitch, Avalyn!" Henry shouted in anger as he took note of the change overcoming Haven. Forgetting about Avalyn he started grabbing whatever dry napkins he could find and started shoving them across the table to his drenched friend.

"She wonders why everyone hates her stupid stupid face." The angry boy muttered to himself as he haphazardly began to pick up shards of glass, knowing that there wasn't a need to be afraid of cut himself accidentally. Giving up on collecting them all he merely brushed the mixture of oj and shards of glass off the table and wiped his hands on a dry patch of jeans and held it out to Haven. "I know you hate orange juice. So do I, why do you think we got milk? Let's go." Henry remarked to his shaken friend, his voice low and as comforting as he could make it. "We'll skip first period and regroup, yeah?" He offered, hoping that she would be able to pull herself together enough to get out of the cafeteria. Once she was away from the view of the entire cafeteria the better she'd feel.

Jack



Jack grinned as he answered his tablemate "I think everyone's nervous, right? New term and everything, I imagine even the kids who've been going here for years feel a bit nervous or overwhelmed." Taking a long look around the cafeteria he could see kids from every walk of life, it was almost impossible to think that each one of them had some secret power locked up within them. Not to mention the bizarre fact that he was one of them.

"I thought I was the only one until my mom began to research. Found out there are lot more of us than you'd think." The wise beyond his years boy nodded tending to agree with Nina's statement about not feeling quite as special. Smiling broadly he quirked an eyebrow at Nina and winked "I don't think we'll have any problem standing out though. Have you seen what an amazing pair we make? You're gorgeous and me...well. I don't want to sound conceited but.." Jack finished, sitting back in his chair and gesturing towards himself.

Leaning forward before he could fall back in his chair Jack nodded vigorously "A poetry fan, eh? Nice. I've hoping we get into some Bradbury, we all have these weird super powers might as well get into some sci-fi." He answered vibrantly, he might not have been the most well-read student, or the most interested but he did have a love for anything sci-fi. Pushing the rest of his breakfast around his plate his head whipped up at the sound of a piercing whistle, looking behind himself and then to Philanie he raised his eyebrows worriedly. "How do we know they're the popular kids, they could be a decoy!" Jack hissed to Nina as he watched her rise and begin to walk over to the table.

What a polite bunch. Jack thought as he bowed to peer pressure and rose to follow the tall dark haired girl he'd become tentative friends with only to see disaster strike. He too had felt the tuggings of something, he wasn't sure what. Either way he'd lost his footing and been barely able to regain it and keep his half-empty glass of milk from following Nina's onto the pair of students. Dexterity came in handy, though he hadn't been able to save his new friend. He watched as she screamed and tore out of the cafeteria. Wondering if she'd even want someone who was barely more than a stranger to comfort her Jack took a deep breath as he looked at the students who'd been drenched in juice. Noting that one was glowing he hastily apologized before quickly sliding his still intact tray onto the main table.

Flipping out his napkin and placing it neatly in his lap he flashed his most charming grin at the table and introduced himself. "Jack Lake, it's a pleasure. That kind of thing happen a lot around here?"




"It can't do any harm. It's like the second day. What are they gonna teach us? We'll probably have to do those exercises to get know everyone even if most of us have known each other forever. I mean, I've all ready taken my learning cap off, man. Let's go try out strains. Or music or what did you say? " Posy said in her usual monotone as she plopped back down into a chair. Posy was smart contrary to popular belief it just didn't seem like that a good majority of the time. She was very wise beyond her years, had great observational skills and if she only applied herself could be earning top marks as we speak. At least that's what her teachers told her. Didn't sound like much fun to the wild child though.

Looking Kaelana up and down she did a little shimmy as she purred and meowed in response to her question. "Would it be fucked up if I said I was jealous? Do you know how impossible it is to get that shade of green with just bleach and whatever you can find at hot topic? Very hard...trust me. You're like sex on a stick, honey. Sex on a vine? Whatever." Posy trailed off her short attention span making itself known as she watched a catastrophe unfold before her. With a grimace crossing her usually serene face she watched the new girl run for cover, feeling a pang of sympathy for her while the other student went ahead and took a seat at their table. Guess they weren't real close friends.




Elle tilted her head back and laughed at Danilo. He was always such a charmer at least when he was around Rhine and Elle. The modelesque redhead knew that together her and Rhine made quite the duo. Fun, unexpected and a bit wild and dangerous not mention they were both gorgeous in completely different ways. Danilo was definitely not wrong in complementing Elle's beauty considering what a vain streak she had.

Focusing her attention on the newly arrived Francesco, Elle practically purred her greeting. " Hello, love. Absolutely perfect now that you've both decided to join us." Elle tried to catch Rhine's eye as she arched one perfectly manicured brow in her friends direction. "We were ever so lonely." Though her and Francesco were technically just friends there was something about him that made Elle feel as though there was electricity pulsing through her body. I guess you could say he sent a thrill of excitement through her.

Smirking at Danilo's assessment of the new kids Elle was about to offer that if either of the males wouldn't mind her inhabiting their body for few hours she wouldn't mind seeing what that new girl was all about. Instead she watched in amazement as the girl wiped out, her breakfast splattering her and juice showering poor little Henry and Haven. Elle couldn't help but to laugh to herself, her shoulders shaking slightly as she covered her mouth in an effort to be polite.
"Well it's not as if we know her, Danilo. She could be an axe-murdering cannibal and that could be the very least she deserves. Now look at that one..." She offered with a small gesture towards the boy that'd been following the poor victimized girl. "Avalyn tried to trip him too, but she couldn't somehow. He's just as cool and collected as can be. I'd much rather that than a girl who runs screaming like a banshee from the room. What about you?" She finished, her green eyes flashing towards Rhine.





Sally had given up on trying to find her class and instead began to follow the students on their way to breakfast. She'd had tea but she might as well eat something and perhaps someone could point her in the right direction. She'd really been hoping to run into Augustus, she was nervous and jittery thinking about it. The healing part was fine, she'd been doing that since she was kid. It was the teaching part that scared her was the thought of all those faces looking up at her expectantly. As if she had the answers. Oh god, she did have the answers. She thought wildly to herself. You went to school for a very, very long time for this. You're perfectly capable. Standing up straight and pushing back her shoulders, Sally felt a renewed sense of hope. Maybe this day wouldn't be the worst of her life.

Looking over her shoulder one last time for a sight of Augustus she lost track of where she was going, letting out a small shriek as she either collided with the wall or with the tall intimidating man before her. God, she thought, I hope I didn't bump right into him. Please let me have hit a wall. Much less embarrassing. Straightening her dress she looked up at the man and gave him a sheepish grin. He definitely looked older maybe not a student and perhaps if he wasn't completely off put by her display of clumsiness he might help her out.

"God, I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going like a complete fool." Sally apologized, her eyes widening and dimples deepening in a plea for mercy from the stranger. "Actually, I'm new here and kind of lost. You look like someone who knows where things are. Oh...where are my manners. My name is Sally by the way, Sally Winters. New nurse and health teacher" Sally babbled, her face reddening and her manner becoming a bit flustered. What a way to make a first impression

Genevieve grinned at Carson's arrival with jokes – Though he seemed sincere in his words. “We may just have to take you up on that offer, cher. But, I'm not quite sure you can keep up with us.” She smirked, resting a hand on his lap while batting her thick lashes. She had no problem flirting with Carson – He was an attractive young man with a dangerous streak that made her bite her bottom lip. She rested a hand on his lap and rolled her eyes at Carlee's protests. She moved her hand up to caress his cheek gently, pouting a little. “Aww, but we were having such fun with our planning. But – I suppose if you do everything Mouse says, you aren't quite ready to roll around in the sheets with us just yet.” She teased lightly, though there was some sincerity behind it as she turned her attention away from the twins and back to her love.

Philanie shook her head violently with her fists still pressed to them, growling under her breath. “Shut up, shut up, shut up!” She ground her teeth down until she thought she was going to break them. It was then that she heard another female's voice. She reduced her cries to sniffles, shaking her head again. “I'm f-fine.” She managed to choke out after a minute or so. “Just...busted my lip...And the rest of my face in oatmeal...” She murmured, pressing two fingers to her upper lip, pressing against the plush flesh, feeling the warm stickiness of blood. She pulled her fingers away and stared at it. That bitch drew blood! Philanie had to force her right eye not to twitch as she wiped it on her pants. “I'm Philanie...Just call me Nina.” She shook her head and offered a weak smile. She was in such a state of stun that she didn't bother to hide the darkness that was clouding her eyes. I will not be taken advantage of anymore...

Philanie shook her head and smiled again at Nina. “Thanks for asking me if I'm okay – Its good to know there's at least one considerate person at this damned place. Your kindness will not be forgotten, but I have some business to take care of.” As though a flip had been switched in her body, her entire mood switched over and she left before Valentina could protest. She was a woman on a mission, brushing past Myra without a second glance. She went back into the school and made her way through the halls, stopping a group of older-looking students. “Hey – You seen this girl?” They looked at her questioningly, a couple of them giggling at her appearance until she began to shift before their very eyes. It wasn't a smooth and sexy Mystique sort of shift, either. You could hear her bones reforming and her innards gushing as she took on the height, size, and weight of Avalyn. Her hair became blonde, her complexion paler, her lips thinner, and her hair shorter and curlier. They nodded quickly as one of them answered. “Avalyn – Yeah. She's out in the front. Why?”

The South African didn't care to answer as she stormed past them, making her way to Avalyn outside. She looked around the massive lawn until she found her near a bush, nursing a busted lip and what might have been a broken nose. She thought that she could handle the first few weeks of playing it cool – Being the scared new girl. But this place wasn't like anywhere she had been before. She had sworn after she killed her mother that nobody would ever hurt her again and get away with it. The people here were obviously a bunch of jackasses and bitches – It would take too long for her liking to weed out who was worth her time and who needed to be stepped on. Not to mention that she had to redeem herself! No way was she going to suffer the rest of the year as that girl. No muthafucking way!

It took a few minutes, but Avalyn managed to shift again with minimal pain, now taking on the form of Arturo, as she had remembered seeing him at the table. Smirking, she moved towards Avalyn and called out to her. “Yo, Avalyn! Nice shit you pulled back there. I laughed so hard I choked on a few grapes. Though, after being with Donny, it wouldn't be the first time – Am I right?” The South African was quick to adapt to Arturo's mindset as his knowledge, his history, his powers, his strengths and skills, and his weaknesses came pouring into her head. Or his head. He smiled as Avalyn waved, pinching her nose. “Glad you appreciated it – You see the way that pussy just ran out? Fucking hilarious. But you need to put a fucking collar on your girlfriend. I swear, if she hits me one more fuckin-” Arturo held up a hand. “I'll handle her. You need to come in and get that checked out. Gotta stop back in the cafeteria and grab my bag, though.”

Avalyn nodded. “Thanks for coming to check on me – Maybe we can play doctor later?” She winked at him as Arturo slipped a hand around her waist and guided her back inside, though taking a turn to head for the restrooms she had seen earlier. “Maybe. Besides, what Kae doesn't know won't hurt her, right?” He chuckled, engaging in conversation about generally everyone that Avalyn hated. When they arrived at the restrooms, he was quick to shove her inside and lock the door behind them after checking to make sure nobody was there. “Hey – I thought you had to – Well shit, I didn't mean to play right away, babe.” She laughed softly, unbuttoning her shirt. 'Arturo' smirked, shifting back into her true form just as she got face to face with the blonde. Taking advantage of her surprise, she began whaling on the girl, exacting her revenge. She, herself suffered from being tossed into the wall – But it wasn't she hadn't endured before and she kept getting right back up.

She finally wore Avalyn down and sat on top of her, grabbing her by the cheeks and forcing the girl to look into her eyes. “I don't know who the fuck you think you are that you think you can fuck with me and just walk it off, but that shit ain't gonna happen.” Avalyn tried to look away, spite filling her tired eyes as Philanie jerked her head back so that she had no choice but to look her in the eye. “Don't turn away from me, bitch. You're going to go back in there and you're going to clean up that little mess that you made. When you're done with that, we'll take you to the nurse and have those cuts and bruises looking at. As of now, you are my bitch.” She smirked, enjoying just how much fear she instilled in the girl.

She hoped that everyone wasn't going to be this easy. It was pretty boring as she helped up Avalyn. She smiled gently at her and brushed the back of her hand against the girl's swollen cheek, gently. “Don't worry, babydoll. I'm really a sweet person – If you're a good girl.” As she started to walk away so that she could unlock the door, Avalyn called out in a bold voice. “Why should I do what you say? You're just the new girl.” Philanie laughed dryly, shaking her head. “You poor thing. Wouldn't it just suck if all of a sudden, everyone was bragging about how they got into your pants? Or if you maybe started dealing drugs. Or maybe you even killed someone.” She smiled just as sweetly as before as Avalyn's eyes widened. “Hmph. I guess that's why they put me on that 'Evil' list.”

She laughed softly and flipped her hair over her shoulder. “Now come on so you can clean up your shit.” Avalyn didn't know whether to be scared, intimidated, or in awe – So she settled for a mixture of all three. The way Philanie talked didn't make her seem as though she were joking – She was dead serious. Framing Avalyn for a murder?! Playing it safe, Avalyn followed in silence as they left the bathroom and went alongside Philanie with her head hanging low. It wasn't that far of a walk to the cafeteria, as it was only a few feet away – Which was totally bad building planning. Who wanted to smell a bathroom right when they got done eating? Or even before? Ew.

Philanie, oatmeal and all, lead Avalyn to the mess that was still there. Sloppy staff. She noted mentally. The lunch servers were lazy, but that was obvious from the awful food and the bored expression in their eyes. She sighed and pointed to the mess. “Clean it up.” Avalyn hesitated, glaring at her. “Now. And don't forget to apologize.” Nina ordered, a polite smile on her face as she nodded towards Henry and Haven. Avalyn knew the consequences if she didn't. She tightened her jaw as she moved towards where the napkins were and grabbed a handful before moving back to the mess. Philanie took a few napkins from her new crony before shooing her away. She removed the gunk from her face and her chest, managing to get most of it, ignoring the eyes that were glued to her.

Kaelana was still fuming and had been restrained by Arturo, as she was fighting to go after Avalyn and break more than just her nose. Both the Italian and the Brazilian were shocked to see Philanie walking back in with her head held high, guiding Avalyn to the sight of the mess. The two had stopped their bickering and Arturo released Kaelana's wrists, staring as Avalyn began picking up her mess and Philanie began to clean herself up. Genevieve was staring from across the way, a smirk curling onto her lips. “My, my, my. I wonder what she's holding over Avalyn that has her so pussy-whipped.” She purred, her eyes lighting up in interest.

Cheveyo, meanwhile was doing his best to ignore the situation. He was impressed, though not much so. Avalyn was young and moldable and she didn't really hold grudges, so he was sure she'd be more compliant to tagging along with her new companion the next day, if not already best friends with her. He nodded at Jason's choice of musicals – Phantom of the Opera was amazing. He, Arturo, Myra, Kaelana, and every one of the other Titans begged of Theatre Professor to let them perform it this year and their pleading had caused her to cave, tossing away The Little Mermaid so that they could perform the timeless classic paying homage to Mr. Webber's genius. He sighed as he leaned against his girlfriend, still a little tired. “We should probably head to class soon.”

Philanie was quite pleased that Avalyn caved so easily. Intimidating people and molding them to her will was simple child's play, though she hoped to kick it up a few notches by the end of the school year. She would have an army at her disposal to off whoever the fuck deserved it. It made her tingly inside!

OOC: Will finish people tagging later

---

Ruby smirked as Warren said "Hello beautiful, how are you this lovely morning?" in a formal tone. She almost blushed but caught herself and pinned a pin straight strand of hair, which she meticulously straightened until the strands were pin straight and hung down her back perfectly. She was specific about her appearance like that. I mean she was no Malibu barbie but she always looked hot. Today she wore a more sexy Cali girl outfit as opposed to her rebel bohemian Cali look she was known for. Her outfit today was a denim bustier that pushed her already impressive cleavage to a ridiculously hot tempting amount. She paired with a tan jersey maxi skirt with a slit on the side that reached her upper thigh. She paired it with chunky 6' strappy sandals. Her hair was held together with a gold chain that hung loosely around her hair. She wore thick winged eyeliner with peach colored lips. She had to admit she looked hot.

As much as she hated to admit it she really wanted Warren to notice how sexy she looked today. It seemed more and more she and Elle were competing for his attention. She took a sip of her iced coffee, before pausing to lick her lips and was about to respond when she noticed the girl, Haven she thought her name was have orange juice poured on her. She soon realized as well that her companion was none other than Henry. She looked flustered however Henry was pissed. "Damn that sucks... I wouldn't wanna be her." She mumbled. She was so not getting in the good vs. evil brawl on the second day of school? Fuck that.

She looked back and saw Posy she quickly shot her, Matthias and Valentina a message:
To: Posy
Message: Hey Bitch Where the hell are you?!

To:Matthias
Message: You can try to hide if you want but I'm gonna come find you <3

To: Val
Message:Does nobody care about their best friends anymore?

She turned her attention back to Warren ho was obviously trying not to laugh. She wasn't sure if he was hiding it for her sake or so he wouldn't be a total ass. Either was she was happy he didn't let it out. "That’s not the kind of first impression you want." She heard him say.
"Yeah that like really sucked," She bit her lip and furrowed her brow "Um you guys don't think I had to help right?" She said before shrugging and offering Warren a bite of her sandwich since he looked dissatisfied with his "Want some?" She asked leaning toward him a little and conspicuously exposing her chest a little more.
She wasn't a slut or anything, she was just a little more confident about her body than most girls.

With an impish grin still spread across his face Jack took a seat near the middle of the classroom. No need to look eager but it also didn't look like there'd be a lot of competition for seats he thought as he noticed how few first years there seemed to be. Opening his notebook and pulling out a pen the naturally energetic boy began to feel nervous. Actually any time Jack had to sit still for any amount of time he felt nervous. If it was up to him he'd constantly be on the move whether it be in the gym, on the dance floor or wherever he might end up depending upon the company.

Beginning to nervously tap his pen against the blank sheet of paper Jack did his best not to laugh aloud and look back at Samuel as the other boy's voice once again drifted through his mind unbidden. With a slight head nod he remained facing forward and leaned back in his chair. Suddenly not as nervous about the first day of class as he was before, perhaps due to the open flirtation transpiring between him and Samuel. Which is literally all in my head. Jack thought curiously. There would most definitely come a time for experimentation and just maybe they'd get around to testing out their abilities too.






Henry watched lazily as people began to show up obviously summoned here just like he was. He wasn't worried about being late to class, one of the perks of working towards becoming a teacher. Henry would have to show up later and assist with class but for now he was free. With a wave, a grin or a call he greeted everyone in his usual sunny, open manner his previous worries tucked away for the time being. Something that Augustus and Mariska both had been telling him wasn't a permanent solution and might actually cause more harm than good in the long run. Yet to the stubborn teenager things seemed pretty simple. Run. Keep Running. Don't Stop. Never Look Back.

With a wide smile he tended to save for the people closest to him he shook his hair back from his tanned face and looked up at Haven as she joined him. Involuntarily reacting to her poke he laughed and leaned over to nudge her with his shoulder. Leaning back and resting his elbows on the ground he crossed his feet and regarded his best friend silently for a second.

"Haven, I'm glad you're here." Henry said genuinely glad to see that it looked like she felt better. "Things should definitely be interesting....starting right about now." He trailed off with a laugh as he heard the first sounds of Posy and knew that the party planners were close




Elle's smile dissipated as she watched the large group of laughing, chattering kids leave the classroom to presumably plan a party. Elle hated Kaelana, she made no bones about it and it irked her to see everyone follow her around as if they had no original thought in their head. She detested being excluded and she felt Kaelana took every opportunity to do so though Elle counted herself lucky to not be an actual target of the girl's much like Rhine was.

Turning towards her friend she heard her own frustrations echoed back at her. If Elle gravely disliked Kaelana it was a vile hatred that Rhine held for the girl who controlled nature. Silently listening and watching to her friend react to Danilo's flippancy she pursed her usually pouty lips. Danilo might be able to say this or that about girls and their behavior towards each other, but he didn't get it. The vying for power, the fact that at any moment the whole world could be turned against you because you wore or said or did the wrong thing. Maybe for some girls it didn't matter, maybe they liked being overlooked and staying home on saturday nights watching movies alone. Elle wasn't that kind of girl.

"Because they all see what they want to see." Elle replied honestly and flatly. "Until we show them otherwise." She sighed with resignation as she rose from the table and gathered her things. "We'll think of something, we always do." Elle said softly as she pulled kleenex from her purse and offered them to Rhine.






A raucous burst of laughter burst from Posy as she entertained the notion of a lingerie party. Ruby could definitely get away with it, Posy had actually seen the girl buy actual lingerie before. Her personal idea of sexy nightwear was no nightwear at all so she didn't really get the point but if Ruby was throwing it it'd definitely be entertaining at the very least. Not like Posy could exactly fill any of it out anyway, while her best friend called Elle out for having a less developed body the tall, lanky girl couldn't help but to look at her own body which was all angles and lines and think it ridiculous. People were people, all different shapes, sizes, colors, and dispositions. Such was life.

While her attention was distracted Danilo slipped in beside her and slung his arm around her thin shoulder and attempted what Posy liked to think of as a mind meld. Slipping her arm around his waist she squeezed playfully before releasing him and grinned widely at her newly arrived friend. " Ruby says she's got booze covered, we're basically a troupe of traveling musicians at this school and God save us all if you can't help us start a bonfire." The carefree girl said with a waggle of her eyebrows as she caught sight of Kota in her peripheral vision.

Sliding her arm around the person that probably understood her the best she lifted her cheek to receive the kiss she always received. Posy rested her head on his shoulder as they walked, strands of flyaway pink and platinum fanning across Dakota's chest as she giggled lowly. "I like how I'm the troublemaker but that girl back there would probably say differently." She was well aware that the two of them together made quite the pair. They looked like those kids that got followed around department stores...well they were those kids. Half the student body thought they were dating the other half were afraid to talk to them especially since the whole list thing got out. There was nothing wrong with just not giving a fuck, she was quite fine with it, it didn't make her bad or unapproachable.

"We are on our way to plan a most epic party and you're assistance is greatly needed. I think I've gone rusty." She replied randomly as she lifted her head to look at the small group assembling near the willow tree. "We should take roll, yeah?" Posy called out flippantly to Kaelana as she slipped in amongst the others.








Sally let out a huge sigh of relief as she pushed through the door that led to her classroom. With a quick look around she realized she was the first arrival and let out a little yelp of excitement. The last thing she wanted to be on her very first day was late. What kind of teacher let a bunch of teenagers beat them to class anyway? Letting the few books she'd brought with her slide onto what was now her desk, Sally began to move around the room silently. Opening shades, writing her name on the blackboard, blowing dust from the full size skeleton who'd she'd probably name before the day was through and anxiously awaiting the arrival of her first class.

With a slight grimace to herself to the usually soft-spoken english girl plopped down behind her desk and smoothed the skirt of her dress. Her first class would apparently be the fourth years, the kids who'd been here the longest and to be perfectly honest the ones that scared her the most. It was a bizarre feeling to teach people who were only ten years younger than yourself, not to mention the fact that Sally looked as though she'd fit right in with the student body. Sally straightened her shoulders and rose from her desk, too jittery with nerves to sit still for long.

Crossing her arms in front of her she turned her attention towards the window overlooking the grounds of the massive estate. Crossing her arms Sally leaned her head against the frame of the window momentarily losing herself in thought and once again wondering when all the dark clouds had decided to move in. With a small smile which brought out her dimples she silently laughed to herself. All this doom and gloom outside could only be a sign that today would be perfect...well okay, maybe not a complete and total disaster.

Arturo was far ahead of the pack, having released Kaelana so that he could catch up to the new girl. “Hey! Philanie, right?” He gave Avalyn a nod, but had placed his hand on the new girl's shoulder. She had smiled and turned around, brushing some hair from her face shyly. “Ah...Yeah. Most Americans can't pronounce it right on the first try...Brava – I'm impressed.” She laughed softly as Arturo shrugged his shoulders. “I was born in America, but my bloodline is pure Italian – But, I had a nanny who was from Africa...Okay, that sounded kind of racist.” He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as she shook her head and laughed. “Oh, no! Its fine – You didn't say you had a...well. An 'n' word.” She smiled faintly, though wondered what Arturo wanted.

As if reading her mind, he beamed a smile. “Right – Anyways. The group you saw at the table are what we call Titans -”

“Ooohh. So the cool kids' clique has a name, huh?” Philanie laughed.

“Its not like that – Most of us that sit at the center table are in the school's A Capella group; The Titans of Tunes.” Arturo rolled his eyes.

“Ah – So for once, the Glee Club rules the school, eh?” She smirked and crossed her arms over her chest. “I should let you know that I couldn't carry a tune if you put it in a bucket and nailed a lid over it.”

“Wasn't asking that – What I'm saying is that every year, we throw a boss ass party within the first week of school and we're about to go plan it. I thought you looked like the partying type, so I was wondering you'd like to aid in our righteous cause. The more the merrier, y'know?” Arturo didn't know if she was the partying type, nor did he particularly care, but he did think she was sexy as hell and thought that it would be a good thing for her to try and make a new friends – What better way to do that then to invite her to the group of the most open-minded people at the school? He watched as she placed her index finger to her lips before shrugging. “Yeah – Why the hell not? Its not like I'm missing anything important – Not a fan of the 'share who you are' activities. So first grade.” She smirked.

Kaelana smiled as her friends joined her in her walk to her beloved willow tree, though rolled her eyes at Dani's request. “You know of my aversion to fire...But since its you asking – Why not?” She turned her head some to wink at him and then one accompanied by a feisty lick of her lips in Francesco's direction before continuing her stride. As soon as her tiny, bare feet touched the grass, small forget-me-nots that were blue in color would bloom as each of her feet lifted, leaving a sort of pathway. She danced, twirling her way to her tree – which was much larger than any normal willow tree. As soon as you pushed away the hanging branches and looked inside, it was magnificent.

“Yeah, sure Pose.” She called out behind her, snapping her fingers. The branches parted like she was Moses and they were the red sea. Animals of all kinds had made their home in the branches and in the large burrows of the tree, some even under the stumps that she had placed for seating. People would always ask her how the hell she slept there – Which was easy enough to answer: She turned into an animal and found a nice patch of clovers and flowers. Duh.

“Gaea – Totally here.” She began to call everyone out, herself included, by their 'code name'.

“Rhea...Absent. Phoebe...Probably not gonna show. Crius...” Arturo bounded towards them at that point, Avalyn and the new girl in tow. “Here!” He shouted, grinning as he passed by her and into her home. He swung Nina gently onto a stump near Henry and Haven, Avalyn right alongside her. “Welcome, ladies! To the best fucking place on earth – Or at least at Maldoy.” He grinned and motioned around them. Philanie marveled while Avalyn simply rolled her eyes and emitted a 'tch'. Nina waved shyly to Haven and Henry, pretty positive that neither of them were in the mood to speak to her at that moment in time – Not like the incident was her fault, anyways. And she had made Avalyn apologize.

“Yeaah..” Kaelana continued, rolling her eyes. “Themis...En route. Mnemosyne...en route. Hyperion...” She glanced up at Dani and grinned. “Yup. Metis...” She looked around, seeing that Donny wasn't present. “Crius, you didn't forget Metis again, did you?” She looked back at the Italian who ground his teeth. He didn't have anything personal against his room mate. Really, he didn't. He just didn't like that Donny had slept with Kaelana. “Oh...how could I have?” He snorted sarcastically, though whipped out his phone and punched through the message to him. “Fucking moron.” Kaelana muttered before continuing.“And Theia..” She glanced back and saw Myra, flashing her a smile. “Oh! There's Rhea.” She grinned as Val bounded towards them. “Great – Onto the guest planners -”

The Titans of Tunes weren't just the school's A Capella group. They were, by far, the largest 'clique' at the school with a mixture of both Good and Evil – Cheveyo said that he thought it to be a good 'fuck you' to the List. A show to the entirety of the school that they could easily coexist with each other and they thought that it was quite a testament, considering all of the wild personalities tossed into the bunch yet the die hard loyalty that they had to each other, no matter which side they were supposedly to be on. They planned most of the parties; At first it was just to throw a good party, but lately they were trying to erase the line that had divided them into Good and Evil – To show that a stupid list didn't make them who they were and that they didn't have to live up to it; Even though Genevieve was making most of the Professors' and students' lives hell by becoming 'Evil' – Kae worried about that.

They also made a habit of being the local vigilantes lately as well – You had a problem with a bully? You obviously couldn't trust teachers anymore, so why not take it to the Titans? Or the Teen Titans, as the new nickname had been circulating. They were much more than an A Capella group...So much more.

“I see Francesco has graced us with his presence – Thank you, mi amante.” She winked at him before looking to see Henry. “Also Henry, Dakota, Posy, Ruby, Avalyn, and Nina. Everyone say hi to Nina – She's new.” She smiled sweetly to the girl.

Cheveyo's simple Nokia phone buzzed at the same time as Ana's, which he pulled out of his pocket and checked. “Ah – The first party of the year.” He chuckled before glancing down at his girlfriend. They had paused in their walk to check their phones, though Ana never did attend the party planning because there was always smoking. Chev knew that Ana didn't like smoking, though he and the others couldn't see why; Mary Jane was your friend, not your enemy. A simple herb, not a drug. But Cheveyo understood exactly how his girlfriend was about these things and he respected it – She didn't want to risk anything that would get her removed from school, ultimately taking her away from him. He sighed softly and wrapped his arms around her, leaning down and kissing her lips gently. “Alright – We could do lunch in town and grab the food while we're there, kay?” He smiled at her, looking deep into her beautiful eyes. “I'll try to make it to your other classes if we don't take too long. Promise. And if I don't, I'll make up with skipping the party this weekend and spending the night with you.” He gave another kiss, this one deeper before patting her butt. “Now – Go kick some ass.”

He grinned as he bounded away, a little sad to be leaving her, but he didn't like distracting her in Battle as is, and he certainly didn't want to end up as a sparring partner with her because he was always scared he was going to end up hurting her; He tended to get really...focused when he was fighting. He accidentally broke her arm once and has never fought her since – Him breaking her arm is actually what had brought them together; He catered to her every whim while she was recovering and they simply...clicked. He didn't pay any mind to the age difference, he saw her for her mind, her maturity, and her beauty. Age was just a number. And nobody tried to stop them, either.

He gave a loud 'hey' as he approached the tree, breezing past Kaelana and skidding to a halt in the center. “So, what's the plan?” He took a seat on a stump near Myra, giving her a light smile before looking to Kaelana, who had closed the 'curtains'. Kaelana knelt down in the large patch of clovers and small forget-me-nots in the center of her 'room' and placed her hand on the ground, as she brought her hand up slowly, so did the beautiful sight of a large marijuana stalk rise with it. The stalk seemed to come to life, uprooting itself and walking into Kaelana's now open hands. She closed her hands around it, seeming to crush it before opening her hands again. There, lying in her hand, was a large pile of buds. “Here, Pose. Get it rolled and lit.” She smirked and gently lay the buds on the stump nearest her. “You know where everything is.”

She then took a spot standing in the middle of the 'room'. “Alright – So. Instead of doing an indoor party, we should do an outdoor party. At the lake. Celebrate nature coming to life. The season of rebirth. I'm thinking that instead of chips and dip and a buffet of the usual – We do fruits and vegetables and then some grilled meat. Have a kick-ass bonfire. Wine instead of liquor. Flowers everywhere. Instrumental and electronic music. Nothing modern, y'know? And...as it is part of nature...Great Mary Jane all around.” She clasped her hands together, her green eyes scanning the room. “So...What do you guys think?”

Genevieve sighed as Kae called them off to duty, pouting at her girlfriend. “Alright, love. I guess I'll see you tonight. I'm taking you out tonight – Dinner and a movie sound fair?” She winked as her girlfriend headed out to class, eying her ass like it was a pork chop. “Yum.” She muttered to herself before turning to Carson, who had seemed to start up his magic hands. She smirked and stood up before leaning in close to his face. “Maybe you can show me just how magic those hands are later? Unless your sister forbids it.” Her eyes had a devilish gleam as she kissed the corner of his lips before making her way out of the cafeteria. “Willow tree – Be there or be square.” She purred over her shoulder. “I'm already there.” She spoke aloud. And so she was. She appeared next to Kaelana just as the nature girl gave her suggestion. “Ohh. I like it. Only if I can get you to make me a dress like that, though.” She grinned, grabbing her friend's ass before taking a seat. She crossed her legs, as not to show off her goodies in the miniskirt she had picked out for the day.

Nina gave a light laugh at the show and shook her head. “Wow – Pretty open with the affection around here, huh? I think its a great idea. I've never been to a nature-themed party...Or any party for that matter.” She blushed at the comment she had made and lowered her head.

“I'm down.” Arturo chirped. “Me too.” Cheveyo quipped after him, high-fiving each other. Cheveyo thought that it'd be great to actually celebrate Spring instead of partying in hopes to get lucky or wasted or high off your ass. Something with meaning.

Augustus could not find Sally and wondered where she went off too. Augustus felt flustered and uneasy, the noise from the cafeteria had stopped meaning students were off doing hell-knows-what. Augustus rushed to his office, It was time to put school into session. He opened the door to his office and flicked on the PA which was audible through the whole school and anyone who was on school grounds.

"This is your headmaster speaking, I advise all students to get ready for their first period class because school starts in only 10 minutes. Thank you and I hope you all have a nice day."

Augustus went straight to his history classroom. The blinds were closed, giving the room a gloomy vibe. He opened the blinds releasing light, the room now felt bright and joyful. To his desk Augustus organized what he needed for the day and sat at his desk and began to phase through hundreds of thoughts in a quick moment of solitude. Augustus had a ridiculous amount of patience and did what he always would do to kill time. He went in the backroom of the class and went through his shelves of journals. He picked one up and began to flip through the pages. A flash of memories impacted him every time he flipped to the next page. The past seemed nebulous almost but reading his historic literature made him remember.

As soon as Vaughan's I-pod playlist played its final song he knew that his imaginary audition for American Idol was coming to a end and so that meant his singing was finally coming to a finish. Vaughan closed the faucet and pulled back the shower curtain to get a look at the time. The steamy fog that spiraled around in the bathroom made it hard to determine what the time was. Vaughan's first class was Health and that class started at 9:09, meaning he still had 19 minutes left to do whatever. Vaughan got out of the shower and dried off, he knew if he spent anymore time in the bathroom that he would spend it looking himself in the mirror. Vaughan scrambled through his drawers and finally found something that he wanted to wear. He put on a loose brown plaid shirt and beige cargo shorts. He was out of his dorm as soon as he could find his favorite designer shoes.

Walking through the hallway Vaughan caught sight of Koen who was pacing himself rather quickly. "Koen!" Vaughan called after him, simply calling his name rattled the pits of Vaughan's stomach and Vaughan knew that his feelings for Koen were suddenly working up.

Vaughan is simply over-emotional and love you can say is a enhanced emotion that Vaughan possesses. The slightest sign that you show Vaughan that you are interested in him, he begins to grow keen towards you. Though the irony of it all is that he doesn't know how to accept love, he's scared rather. Koen, Myra and Karen do this thing that Vaughan really cannot explain. Vaughan finds himself acting like his true-self around them and that frightens Vaughan because he isn't really use to his true-self.

Vaughan's eyes lighted, "why are you in such a hurry? Class doesn't start till another 13 minutes," Vaughan said gesturing to his watch. "I wish I was back to being a second year, you have Battle first period." Vaughan's eyes wandered, he is usually the smooth talker but he was really running out of things to say and felt that he was the one doing most of the talking. Minutes later they both headed downstairs and the PA buzzed. Augustus spoke,

"This is your headmaster speaking, I advise all students to get ready for their first period class because school starts in only 10 minutes. Thank you and I hope you all have a nice day."

"I need to get to Health Koen, have fun in Battle class." Vaughan gave the most charming smile he could present before walking away and teleporting to his dorm to retrieve his textbooks. The convenience of Vaughan's ability is that he's punctual and will never be late for class. He teleported himself to his home room where Ms. Winters sat at her desk.

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."
