Snippet #2335208

Sophie was idly chatting with Nadia when they bumped into a girl coming around the corner. The girl seemed irritated with Nadia and scolded her for trying to touch her. Nadia tried to introduce Sophia to the girl, but the girl wouldn't really have anything to do with her. Nadia questioned the girl, asking where she was headed and the girl mentioned that she needed coffee. The girl took a second thought and introduced herself as Liz and mentioned how nice Nadia was. Sophia nodded in agreement that Nadia was in fact very nice and then, Liz, being lost for words awkwardly left.

Once she was gone, Sophia gave Nadia a questioning look. "Oh don't worry about her, she's just the moody type." she said with a laugh. "You'll love your room, it's not very big, but it has a great view of the lake." Nadia said, clapping her hands together. This thought cheered Sophia up considerably. Nadia talked the rest of the way to Sophia's room which wasn't that much farther away. Inside it was a little small, but it didn't feel cramped to Sophia. She asked a few questions about where the bathrooms were and where she would shower and Nadia responded kindly to them all. She mentioned that they would be having a small get together brunch for the new students to meet and mingle. "It's going to start pretty soon, so we should get going!" Sophia left her bags on the bed and followed Nadia downstairs to they foyer.

Once there, she could see that other students had begun to show up, and that there were more Nadia's than just the one who had been escorting her. She looked at the one standing next to her and began to speak. "Is tha-" but she was cut off as Nadia spoke. "Yeah, yeah, I know there are like four of me, but that's normal here." she said and the other Nadia's walked over to her. Once they touched her, they all phased back leaving only one Nadia. "Now," she said, announcing herself to the room as a whole. "Let's do a head count." She ticked off everyone on her fingers and gasped. "Oh, we're missing one, hold on." she said as another Nadia seemed to step from her skin. This new Nadia went in search of the missing member who was sitting in the gardens. "So, while we wait, how about everybody just introduce themselves to one another." She said and smiled.

Sophia was hesitant at first, but could see other people spreading out and didn't want to feel like the odd one out. She glanced to her left and saw a guy standing there with a guitar case next to him.She quickly took her chance and walked over to him. "Hi, I'm Sophia." she said holding out her hand for him to shake. She then remembered the incident earlier when Liz didn't want others to touch her. She figured this had something to do with her ability and didn't want to seem insensitive in case this boy had a skin-related power so she let her hand fall awkwardly back to her side.
