Posy Llewellyn'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.

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

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.

Posy was abruptly startled, her heart leaping into her throat until she laughed hoarsely to herself and dug her phone out of her back pocket. Looking at the message she'd received from Ruby she tilted her chair back from the table and looked around the cafeteria, her eyes finally finding the statuesque redhead she called her best friend. By the looks of things she was letting Warren know just what he was missing by not going ahead and just giving in instead of being hung up on that real C U Next Tuesday otherwise known as Elle. Guess you couldn't blame him. He obviously had a certain type of woman he preferred. Tall Ginges, good for him.

Still tilted back in her chair Posy lifted her thin arm, weighed down by numerous chunky bracelets and gaudy rings "I'm right here, bitch. Ain't you got eyes?" Posy called in her gravelly contralto. Pushing away from the table she gave a half wave and a nod to those who even noticed or cared that she was leaving and made her way over to Ruby.

"What's up, Buttercups?" Posy asked, as she slid in next to Vaughan. Leaning back in her chair she propped her feet, clad in heavy black boots, on the table and craned her neck to look at the other kids around her. A small grin briefly crossing her face as she caught Vaughan's eye and quickly looked away. What could she do, she liked him. A lot. Everyone did and he liked them right back. "What a way to start the day, right? It's not the first day of school without someone getting the bitch kicked out of them." The mellow teenager remarked lazily as she watched Avalyn begin to clean the floor like she was the maid. She didn't care about Avalyn one way or the other but she knew she was a stubborn chick. What the hell had that new girl done to provoke this kind of change?

Vaughan pushed his tray of food aside and took a moment to realize that he was lucky to have a good enough metabolism to beat off a 1000 calorie breakfast. About to mention the run that both him and Warren agreed to take once they were done eating was quickly uncared for as soon as Ruby walked in. She walked into the cafeteria and she was looking at both Vaughan and Warren. She moved gracefully to their table. She played with Warren's hair before sitting down and played the classic game of naughty eye contact with Vaughan. "So what's cookin' good lookins?" she had said, Warren did most of the talking, Vaughan trailed off for a moment, he was looking at the increase of people in the cafeteria and took note who was here and who was not.

Vaughan turned back to his table and noticed that Posy was heading this way. "Whats up sexy?" he said as she took the seat next to him. They exchanged looks with each other and Vaughan could definitely feel the attraction between himself and her. She was hot and there was a factor about her that appealed to Vaughan and he liked that part of her.

There was a loud crackle of laughter and Vaughan turned around to see that someone spilled there drink, words shot out like gunfire and the cause was Avalyn. The girl ran out crying, just minutes later Avalyn came through the cafeteria and was the one in the end cleaning the mess up. The commentary from both Warren and Posy was quite amusing though Vaughan himself did not have anything against Avalyn so he kept quiet.

Vaughan yawned, "Warren I'm going for that jog, I'm taking the forest route, so you know where to find me." Vaughan got up from his chair and towered over the table as he stretched back, his tank top was forced to pull back, the shirt itself was too small. His pelvic muscles curved inward diagonally downward on the sides making a beautiful V shape. He caught Ruby staring and he chuckled, "Who knows? Maybe if you're lucky you'll get to see more later." With a tug of his shirt and a wink to Ruby Vaughan left the cafeteria.

This tanktop was getting irritating. Only if I wasn't so insecure with my body Vaughan thought. Oh how he amused himself, he took his shirt off and he wasn't aware of his secret audience. The new girls surrounded themselves in a circle beside the staircase, they were giggling and laughing, blushing as they stared at Vaughan's topless body. Vaughan laughed to himself, he pushed the heavy front doors of Maldoy and was embraced by the heavy impact of fresh air. Vaughan moved into the direction of the trees and followed the trail. He considered the fact that Warren might join so he started with a light pace so that Warren could catch up. The scenery of the forest was getting bigger, Vaughan observed his surroundings, the property of Maldoy Academy was truly beautiful.

Ruby ran a hand through her hair in annoyance at Elle's voice. "Poor Warren, having to settle for tap water when all he really wants is perrier."
"Yeah but Perrier is for snobby ass bitches, and if I was you I'd be more careful who you call poor, especially since my family is rich. At least I'm not some wannabe annoying as bitch who thinks she's cool. Also Perrier can kiss my ass" She crooned over her shoulder. She winked at Posy and rolled her eyes, "I do hate annoying gingers,"

She started munching on her food as she heard Vaugn say "Warren I'm going for that jog, I'm taking the forest route, so you know where to find me."
She whistled at him as he flashed his sexy body. She bit her lip and tried to focus on her sandwich which suddenly couldn't fufill her hunger. She took a sip of water and waggled her eyebrows at Posy.
"Sorry lovelies I need to keep this body of mine though so I'm just going to go but I'll see you around." Warren said finally. She winked and said "Good you'll need to if you wanna catch up to girls like me." She purred teasingly as he left. She burst into a giggles and stood up.

"Anyway Posy, lets do something bad ass, I'm bored as hell. And seeing as neither of us is getting screwed, right now at least, lets go do something." She picked up her tray and chucked it in the trash as she heard Elle say "Looks like all that exposed cleavage ran him off anyway."
She snickered and said loud enough "At least I have some, nobody likes a girl with the body of a twelve year old." She loved exposing the fact that though she had a very sexual body and personality, Elle was baby faced and less developed.

She paused and blew Elle a kiss at the door as she walked outside. She stretched her arms and said "Wanna just chill in my dorm, I think we should get drunk tonight with the guys. Maybe Val can give us some little extra luck?" She said then flipped her hair "And what she can't do, Vodka can." She added with a wink.

Jack slid his now cold and thoroughly unappetizing breakfast to the side with a practiced flick of his wrist. The short, yet substantial boy exuded a natural grace due to his dextrous ability and years of training as a gymnast. With his perfect posture and complete inability to be clumsy every move Jack made seemed as though it was choreographed and he'd learned it painstakingly perfectly.

Arching his his eyebrows with mock suggestiveness Jack laughed lightly and scanned the room around them. " You think I'm pretty? Aw, I do enjoy a compliment but I dunno if that's all it takes." Jack replied his eyes coming to rest appraisingly on the boy sitting in front of him. He'd taken Samuel's comment as an invitation of a sort. Perhaps Samuel was attracted to him perhaps he was just secure enough in his masculinity to consider another boy attractive or he was fucking with Jack and his vanity. "I mean, I was as pretty at my old school and they treated me like I had the plague but thanks for your confidence, Samuel. Means the world." Jack said genuinely with a shrug. "I don't really need to be popular but a few friends would be nice I think." The boy finished somberly, lacing his long fingers together and his long lashes casting shadows on his cheeks as he looked down at his hands. Jack didn't like to admit it but the past year of isolation had taken it's toll on him. Being lonely sucked.

With a slight gasp Jack was once again caught off guard by the sound of his new friend's voice appearing in his head. It was kind of startling and strange but for some reason he wasn't scared. It wasn't as if he had anything to be ashamed of anymore if Samuel wanted to read his mind. " As long as we're not alone right?" He answered softly. "Good or evil...well I know that despite what they told me I don't feel particularly like a good guy." Looking up at his table mate he smiled gently. "So with your gift would it work in reverse? Say if I tried to think something really hard at you, would you pick it up? Sorry, just kind of curious...if you want I could always start doing some acrobatics for you? Keep it even."







With a resigned sigh Henry wandered to the shower to rid himself off the mess his clothes and whole day had become. He hadn't even been to his first class yet. As Henry re-showered he allowed his mind to wander, thinking about the fact that this was his fifth years at the academy and he had no other plans besides becoming a teacher. And then what? The usually stoic teenager thought, a scowl resting on his usually sunny face as he soaped his unnaturally unmarked body. Henry had no scars, no identifying marks he couldn't even get a tattoo if he wanted one. Besides a freckle here and there his skin was smooth, perfect and flawless. The complete opposite of his psyche which he held together with denial and determination. Something he kept to himself and something that had only been divulged to Mariska, the Headmaster and now Elle. Shaking away the memories that often plagued him Henry turned the now cooling water off.

Stepping out of the shower he quickly dried himself realizing that he'd spent entirely too long in the bathroom and hastily redressed himself in a blue plaid shirt which he half tucked into his his jeans before stuffing his feet into his converse and heading out the door. Running a hand through his still damp hair he slid his phone out of his pocket with the other and grinned for the first time since he'd been assaulted by juice. Turning in mid stride he tucked his phone back in the front pocket of his flannel and made his way to Kae's tree.

A party would be the perfect way to wipe the slate clean. Start new and hell, who didn't love a party? Half the fun was the planning...at least the way they did it Henry thought with a grin as he slipped unseen into the sanctuary of the willow tree to await the others.








Elle merely smiled her usual lopsided smirk as she listened to Ruby make a fool of herself. Everyone knew that class and money really had nothing to do with one another. Some people were just born without it, people like Ruby. Elle's grin broadened as she thought of her own title that she would some day receive. No matter how rich or or poor the Scottish girl maybe she'd still be called a Lady which is more than she could say for her loud mouthed rival. Letting her attention drift back to her own table as she listened to the desperate mess that was Ruby Moore leave the cafeteria, her simple stoner friend Posy meandering after her. Elle wasn't ashamed of her body, she was tall, thin and what you would call willowy. Pale, delicate and classically beautiful. There was nothing that the other ginger could say to make Elle think otherwise.

"Why Rhine, I think you're the only girl that could handle me." Elle laughed, Warren and Ruby forgotten for now as her thoughts turned to talk of parties. Apparently they weren't the only group discussing such things as Kaelana's irritating screech cut through the cafeteria. Cringing slightly the redheaded teenager scowled in the direction of another girl she wished would go die in a fire. The Hulk had decided in all of her Queen Bee gusto to summon whom she deemed worthy. Elle knew her name wouldn't be on the invite list but if Francesco, Danilo or Arturo had any say she knew she'd be in attendance one way or another.

Crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair she rolled her large green eyes and tried to catch Rhine's gaze. Their mutual hatred for Kaelana had been quite the bonding agent for their relationship. "It didn't take long for the Jolly Green Giant to assert her dominance over the school. It never fails." Elle finished with a hint of envy tinging her lilting Scottish accent. Looking over at the two boys who were at her table she managed to smile brightly. "I assume you're both going to go and plan this party so hopefully it won't be incredibly lame. Just make sure we're on the invite list."










Posy listened vaguely to Warren and Vaughan and watched silently as they left, a small grin stealing across her face. They weren't discrete about it and Posy didn't think one way or the other about it save for the fact that it proved Vaughan's ability to seduce anyone anytime...even before breakfast. But not her, Nope, never her. She thought with steely reserve and a nod to herself. She was a naturally contrary girl and if you told her the sky was blue she'd insist it was green. So if everyone wanted a piece of Vaughan...well then that'd be the last thing she'd ever let herself desire. Even though she fought it tooth and nail. Rebellious much? Yes.

Her blue eyes still scanning the room she caught sight of Brad and smiled lazily at him casually waving in his direction knowing that he could easily flip her off, not acknowledge her or in the best case scenario she might get a head nod. The pink haired girl understood that even though he was bitter and caustic and sometimes mean that it wasn't something he could necessarily control. It was as if he was an open wound and everyone's raw emotions were like salt. Heavy trip that was.

Turning her attention back to Ruby and Elle's little conversation she couldn't help but to roll her eyes and sigh, an indulgent smirk crossing her face as she looked over at her best friend. "You two are starting in at it all ready? You haven't even had your Wheaties yet." Posy remarked distractedly as she rose, lifting her arms to the sky in another cat-like stretch as she began to follow Ruby outside. Posy had already decided she wasn't going to class today anyway. The unmotivated teen knew that she had to be careful having had to repeat her first two years due to lack of participation, tardiness, skipping and sleeping in class. It wasn't like she was dumb. Not really, she just had a very set list of interests that intrigued her and everything else kind of fell by the wayside.

Before she could answer Ruby's question she heard Kae's summons and knew immediately what she'd be doing in moment's time. "I know a place where all of those things are possible and more!" Posy said a bit maniacally. "Party!" She called out randomly as she fell in line behind Kaelana and Arturo, motioning for Ruby to follow along. The tall, strangely dressed girl knew that they'd end up at the willow tree to discuss tonight's details while Posy rolled j's for Kaelana to share with the group.

Ruby smiled as Posy said "I know a place where all of those things are possible and more!" She could see a wicked twinkle in Posy's eyes. "Party!" Her pink haired best friend called out randomly before suddenly following Kaelana and Arturo. She motioned for Ruby to join and ruby following compliantly, shrugging her freckled thin arms. She followed the group and lifted her arms in the air and whining her hips to the beat in her head.

She followed them to the willow tree. But quickly pulled out her phone and quickly typed up a text.
To: Warren
Message: We're skipping class by the willow tree if you want to ya know... hang out ;)

She bit her lip as she followed her friends. "Hey we soo need to throw a lingerie party this year." She said smiling mysteriously. She shook her hair and giggled."Kidding, sorta."

Ruby was well known for her partying. She was definitely a party girl. Not that she was like over the top but she threw some damned good parties. She smiled at Posy and tossed her head back and smiled. "But I do think we need killer music, and I could get us the drinks."

I'm not really into this whole, "school" thing. Dakota never liked school, but he was good at it. Skipping classes, detention so many times he had lost track, not going because there was something better to do, like sleep. And he got straight As, the only B he had ever gotten was in English because he refused to write an essay on why smoking was bad for the world. Usually, he loved writing essays, but he wasn't about to be a hypocrite and write an essay about why something he does was bad. Sort of amusing, he didn't want to be bad, but since he found out he was Evil's bitch, he'd started noticing it.

I hate stereotypes. Who said that anyone who got good grades was a nerd? Or whoever smoked was going to go bald and get fat by thirty? If you had the power Kota had, you would see that he was still very, very hot in the future. Of course he knew that he was quite attractive now too, but this was more about the parties and the fights and flirting, relationships sucked.

Speaking of relationships, mi dios. This girl is approaching him now, probably one of the ones he recently boned and ditched. She looks angry, that's just great. The boy turned and went in the opposite direction, heading away from the chica loca. That was when he spotted his partner in crime, Miss Posy Llewellyn. With the adorable smirk that he was almost always seen wearing, he jogged over to her and draped his arm around her shoulders before placing a loud kiss on her cheek. "Hola sexy," he said, eyes flicking over the rest of the people in her group. None of them were really "friends" with Kota, but he didn't think any of them hated him, not a lot at least. "What's my little alborotador doing?"

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.

Samuel had this way of being able to completely tune the teacher out and miss the whole entire lesson, but continue to get all As and Bs. He couldn't recall a time when his grades had slipped lower than that, other than perhaps once in gym he had gotten a C. It really wasn't his fault though, they didn't allow students to wear jeans and Sam refused to change into shorts- they of course suggested he just wear them all day then, but he refused to do that also. Not to mention the need to wear tennis shoes, when the shoes he wore were usually flat, like skaters shoes. Once the teacher realized he wasn't going to change the way he was though, they allowed him to do paper gym instead. Straight As, rest of the year.

English had always been a subject he was good at though, so he didn't see much need to pay a lot of attention. Instead he found his thoughts wandering to Jack, and wondering what the hell he had gotten himself into. He knew he shouldn't have flirted back, should have just pretended like he hadn't notice. The other boy was just so damn persistent though, and he would admit that he found him quite attractive. Either way, it was just playing around, nothing really serious. Hopefully the other boy would still be up for hanging out later, experimenting with their abilities and all that. And... just maybe a bit more.



Dakota pulled Posy closer to him, grinning as he took in the rest of the group. Most of them were pretty popular, at least he assumed. It wasn't like he was unpopular, he just sort of got along with whomever, didn't really care what clique they were in. That's what messed him up, people who wanted to be popular were supposed to stay with the populars, not go off randomly with whoever. "That girl back there is loco," he paused, eying the girl next to him for a moment. "And I didn't know you were spying on us, mi chica."

Posy was easily his best friend here at the Academy. Half the time they were getting into trouble, and the other half of the time they were devising new ways to get into trouble. He only bothered to go to class enough to get straight C's, because that was average and guaranteed him a passing grade- even if it was a low one. Still, he always pushed Posy to go to class and get good grades, because it was important. If it was so important, why didn't he do it? Sometimes he just acted like too much of a big brother for the girl, he needed to stop being so protective of her.

At the mention of a party, he brightened. "I doubt that, chica. You and I throw the best parties." He dropped his arm from around her, allowing his friend to sink into the small crowd that was gathering near the tree.

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.

Ruby
smirked as her phone buzzed in her purse. She felt her eyes light up as she read Warrens response.
To: Ruby <3
Message: Sorry babe I would love to but I don't think I am in the mood for party planning right now. Maybe some other time, though, if you really want to hang out then you can come up to my dorm

She paused and smiled, showing off her pearl white teeth. She glanced at Posy and bit her lip. She did want to go hang out with Warren but at the risk of ditching her best friend? She didn't have to answer since the suave and always sexy Dakota slung his arm around Posy. "Hola sexy," He said making Ruby's eyebrows shoot up in curiosity. She turned to Posy and mouthed "Where have you been hiding him?"


She was about to ask about him when Posy said " 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." She also heard Posy mention something about being rusty and roll call but she wasn't really paying attention. She honestly was thinking of one thing right now and it had nothing to do with a party. Well maybe a party of two.

Ruby waggled her eyes at Posy as she and Dakota cozied up to each other and were starting their own conversation. As she was bout to announce her leaving to Posy she suddenly felt two hands cover her eyes. “ Guess who?” a giggling voice asked.
"Hmmmm Orlando Bloom?" She said teasingly before lifting her friends hands and doing a terrible impression of surprise. "Val! I would have never guessed." She added as she hugged her best friend.

Before she forgot she sent a quick text to Warren:
To: Warren <3
Message: K, I'm on my way.

She smiled at Val before holding up her hands and putting them in praying position. "I would so love to hang out but I gotta go," She widened her already bright eyes and stuck out her bottom lip, making the epitome of a puppy dog face and said "Forgive me?"

She blew a kiss to Val as she backed away and headed for Warrens dorm. She quickly walked well more like speed walking, but she walked more or less to his dorm. She positioned herself in his doorway and loosened her auburn curls which were cascading down her back in a messy but sexy way and knocked on the door.

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."
