Snippet #1422926

Some time after he nodded at Rosa, Connor had slid into a sitting position, leaning against the brick of the school. With his long legs extended and crossed at his ankles, he had gotten lost in his thoughts. He was mulling over the fact that him and six other students here were sins. Though most of them had discovered their powers towards the end of the last school year, he still found it unsettling. Not that he did not enjoy his powers, the more he the discovered about them, but the feeling that something bigger than calming teachers was looming around the corner.

That thought and others had kept him in a slightly hypnotized state for an amount of time Connor was unsure of. When he heard someone calling his name, he seemed to regain his present vision and looked around him. His pack of cigarettes was over half empty and just short of a dozen stubs on the concrete by his thigh told what had happened to them. Looking up and past the stubs, he focused his green eyes on the corner of the building just as Bridgette emerged from the other side.

Connor gave her his lazy grin, laced with genuine curiosity. "Hello Luv." Her innocent appearance in skirt and blouse, books hugged to her chest seemed to stick out like a sore thumb. Even though they were the only two currently in the 'secret' spot, Connor was used to seeing slackers, like himself, and rebels lurking around these parts. His brows furrowed a bit as she approached him. Still seated, he questioned, "What brings you out here? I'm guessing that you aren't fancying a smoke, are ya?"
