"And now, I forgot who my dorm mate was." He said outloud to himself, groaning. "I think it started with an M..."
"Anna...are you going to be able to do this...you know I can't help you after this point..."
A tear rolled down her cheek as she stared down at her white gloves, tight against her knuckles, "...I know...I'm scared...but it will be better for me here..."
He placed her things at the door and threw his arms around her, they stood silent for a moment embracing before he turned and pulled open the door. As she pulled the last of ehr things in she watched, as her brother's face disappeared behind the wooden frame. A tear rolled down her ivory cheek as she trembled, turning into the great hall. A man greeted her quickly, appearing almost out of thin air.
"Ah and you must be Anna Logan, don't worry we knew you would be arriving a little late. Here I will take your things for you." As he reached toward her bag she flinched away from him, pulling it close to her.
"Ah...please, don't worry. We have been informed about your condition, don't worry. You will be fine here." Without touching her, he slipped the bag from her grasp, and ushered her into a great dining hall. She had made it in enough time to hear her rooming assignment.
In an instant she felt a hand grip her wrist, dragging her up the stairs. His skin was warm against her, but the moment he made contact she was overwhelmed with visions of his past, and memories that didn't belong to her. They had soon arrived to their dorm room, and he was talking circles around her. Her head was spinning as she stood, trembling as he spoke.
"Oh my gosh! This is our very first day as roommates! It's going to be like a very big slumber party!...What was that saying people say to those who have stage fright again" ...Wait! Before we begin our slumber party let me get out of these uncomfortable clothes..."So what do you want to do first!?"
Her eyes widened as he began stripping, her heart pounded in her chest a the sight. She immediately squealed and covered her eyes, running into the bathroom and slamming the door shut.
"What is this place?!" she sobbed, slipping down the door frame, "Brother, come back...please...save me..."
He shoveled the rest of his breakfast into his mouth and put the tray away. iPad in hand, he walked up the hallway towards the dorm area. It wasn't long before he got lost...he had always been bad with directions. Not a problem that technology couldn't solve: he pulled out his iPad and looked up a map on the school's website. Ah...so it had been turn right, not left...
After a good ten minutes, he finally arrived at the door of Dorm 4. Grinning and curious, he opened the door.
Oh crap....
It was the guy who talked to himself.
"Ciao, Ciao, Bella. Tell me, why are you so negative?" He muttered, a puzzled look on his face. "I may come across as a stupid Italian, but I'm smarter than that. You like Art or Music, Zoe?"
Zoe's eyebrow twitched with frustration. Why was this stupid creep trying to but into her life. His Italian accent was annoying the crap out of her but thankfully it thinned down around the end of his sentence. "Listen, I don't know what you want with me, but keep away. Bad things happen to those who don't." With that Zoe started speeding up as well and eventually made it to the room. She put down the bag that secretly contained her guitar case and put the covers over her head. Too bad she didn't get a quiet roommate.
Adrien
Her eyes widened as he began stripping, her heart pounded in her chest a the sight. She immediately squealed and covered her eyes, running into the bathroom and slamming the door shut.
"My plan might not have worked as well as I wanted it to," Adrien thought to himself. He studied the door closely, seeing the door had been locked he focused on that a bit more. He though about a key in the shape of the doors keyhole very hard and made a key. A bit woozy, Adrien made his way to the door, unlocked it, and opened it.
"Hi! I get that your shy and everything but see! I'm naked! Now you don't even have to imagine it! We're on the same level now" he said grinning. Adrien then started coming close to Annabel about to hug her.
He tuned it, and started to play an Italian folk song, which usually attracted people. He was hoping it would lighten the girl's mood. He concentrated on her, and attempted to alter her opinion of him. He continued playing his guitar, hoping to atleast make her smile at him.
"Well, anyways, yeah! I'm Circus, all that fun stuff. I can see spirits. What is your power? Oh, oh! Oh, I know! We should get to know eachother if we're going to be roommates! Yeah, yeah, aha! That sounds fun." Grabbing the male's arm, he dragged him into the dorm all the way and bounced on top of a bed, then hung upside down on the ledge of a window, tipping his hat in greeting to the male.
"You go first, yes? Of course you go first! It is my polite duty!"
"Hi! I get that your shy and everything but see! I'm naked! Now you don't even have to imagine it! We're on the same level now"
"What do you mean were even now?! Can you see through my clothes???" See screamed and grabbed a decorative plant, tossing it at the naked boy's flopping member as she dashed around him, and running out into the hall.
"What's wrong with you? Get away from me!" she cried, fear shaking her voice. Her life had been almost normal before this day...she went to school, lived with her family. Her curse kept her from having any close friends, but at least she had her brother. Watching him walk away was hard for her, and now she was being chased by a strange naked boy, and fear was ever present. Tears streamed down her face as she gripped the railing of the landing.
"Someone please help me!"
He put his luggage down, and took out his own acoustic guitar. He tuned it, and started to play an Italian folk song, which usually attracted people. He was hoping it would lighten the girl's mood. He concentrated on her, and attempted to alter her opinion of him. He continued playing his guitar, hoping to atleast make her smile at him.
Zoe was trying to sleep when Feliciano started playing his guitar. Zoe wasn't a person who hated guitars but she did hate Feliciano. However, after a while her opinion started changing. Eventually she was starting to feel like he could be something like an acquaintance to her or maybe more. Zoe took the covers off of her head and sat up. "Okay, what do you want" she said, more nice than she usually sounds.
Adrien
"What do you mean were even now?! Can you see through my clothes???" See screamed and grabbed a decorative plant, tossing it at the naked boy's flopping member as she dashed around him, and running out into the hall.
Adrien sighed "I really think this plan isn't working." Adrien thought to himself. "No! I can't see through your clothes! My power allows me to create--" Adrien couldn't finish his sentence because a decorative plant hit him in places he definitely did not want to be hit. Adrien winced and dropped to the floor "I'm positive this plan didn't work now" he thought to himself groaning on the floor in fetal position.
"Now, for proper greetings. I am Feliciano Veneziano Vargas, Or Feli. I'm the little brother to the Italian Leader, Lovino Romano Vargas. I have a mild obsession for cooking and Pasta. And you are?" He asked, smiling warmly at her.

"See, that's much better. I only want to be friends, nothing more, nothing less. I'm gay, so you don't have to worry about any advances I may make, and I only want to be kind, Bella." "Now, for proper greetings. I am Feliciano Veneziano Vargas, Or Feli. I'm the little brother to the Italian Leader, Lovino Romano Vargas. I have a mild obsession for cooking and Pasta. And you are?"
"I'm Zoe Find," Zoe said shaking Feliciano's hand. "I play guitar as well, maybe we can do some song together. Though I don't think our music prefrences are the same. I'm more into Jazz, Rock, and Metal kind of. " Zoe stated "So what's your power? I'm a telekinetic." Zoe said eager to learn more about him. Zoe was starting to like this guy, he had a certain vibe about him that she enjoyed.
She slowly crawled through the door and peeked in. She hadn't taken the time to look at the room before, but as she scanned the area she took in the beauty and warmth of it. Hardwood floors ran from wall to wall, with warm oak walls. There was a high ceiling, with rafters, and the single wide window was adorned with a red velvet curtain. Sunlight shined down on a common area with a rich leather sofa and a fireplace. An ornate rug circled the floor in a red and brown pattern. An large cabinet sat against the wall, and she wondered if it housed a TV. Glancing up a three step level she saw two doors, hopefully leading to two separate bedrooms, and her naked assailant crippled in the bathroom doorway.
Reaching up she gripped the ornate door knob and puled herself to her feet. Her boots clicked across the wooden floor as she slowly made her way over to him. As she walked through the light it refelected off a gold locket that dangled around her neck. It was tucked just under her white and purple school girl outfit. It was long sleeve, to prevent contact with others. The only skinned she showed was her face and bits of her legs through torn stockings. As she passed the sofa she pulled a silky throw blanket from where it lay folded, and knelt down next to the boy, draping it over him.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry if I hurt you..."
Her voice still trembled with fright as she spoke, but he could do her no harm like this. As she looked down over him, a vision of a small boy was before her. He looked hungry, and sad. Shaking her head, the teen returned to her sight. ...I forgot...he touched me..
"Oh, you play too? I like western Rock and Metal, It sounds nice!"" He laughed, intrigued to hear about far western life. "Well.. My Power is being able to change people's opinions of me. Kind of like brainwashing, only nicer. I kinda tried it on you, sorry.."
He cowered away, in case she decided to hit him or kill him. "Please don't kill me! I'm a Virgin, how do you think they make Virgin olive oil? And what if I don't die and just live my life in a pool of my own blood and......" It continued like this for around five minutes until.. "But please.. I DON'T WANT TO DIEEEEEEE!" He shouted, since back in Italy he would've been shot for doing that.
Before he could get a word in edge-wise, Circus had decided that they should get to know each other, and had pulled Mikhail all the way into the room before bouncing off the bed and hanging upside down from the window.
"You go first, yes?" the boy asked, then seemed to correct himself, "Of course you go first! It is my polite duty."
Mikhail stood almost dumbstruck at the overly excited boy. He was surprised that the roommate had even passed the physical barrier by touching him. He had thought that Americans were rather timid around that? What with the excessive violence and taboo on sex in their films...this school had no shortage of surprises for him.
Clearing his throat, he began, "Well, as the little, uh, spirit thing told you, my name is Mikhail. Mikhail Petrov, if you want to be really official. As for what I do...well, I suppose I should just show you." He walked over to the wall, placed his hand on it, and focused. After a couple seconds, he put his foot against it and walked up the vertical ledge and onto the ceiling, where he hung upside-down, much like his roommate, but with one difference: his hair and clothes didn't hang off of him towards the floor, but rather stayed in place, attracted to his own gravitational point. He spread his arms out and bowed: "Tada"
As she passed the sofa she pulled a silky throw blanket from where it lay folded, and knelt down next to the boy, draping it over him. "Are you okay? I'm sorry if I hurt you..."
Adrien forced a smile, "Y-yeah, I'm okaaay" he said, his voice shaking and cracking. Adrien was in pain but he was happy that him an Annabel were having some form of a conversation after all that happened.
"I'm going to take off this blanket for one second," Adrien moaned taking a break. "So that I can use my powers to create ice for my...injury." Adrien warned uncovering himself, and lying on his back. Adrien then started concentrating. It was very hard due to his pain but eventually an ice pack came. Just before he was able to apply it though tons of ice started coming all of the ice was pelting him where he got his injury "CRAP I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE PAIN WHILE I MADE THE ICE!!!" He screamed. Adrien kept screaming until finally the tragic horror stopped. "I can't move my body." Adrien wailed crying. "P-please, I beg you Annabel, PLEASE get the ice pack and hold it on my "area" " Adrien pleaded on the verge of throwing up. Annabel was his only hope, none of them even knew where the Nurse was AND he was naked which is apparently a no-no. Adrien just hoped that Annabel would come through for him. Starting to have doubts he kept crying pondering his fate.
Zoe
"Well.. My Power is being able to change people's opinions of me. Kind of like brainwashing, only nicer. I kinda tried it on you, sorry.."
Zoe's eyes widened, and the power's effect wore off. "You did WHAT!?" Zoe yelled draining out his voice. Zoe felt so violated, a feeling she never wanted to ever feel again. Zoe's shock turned to anger. She glared at Feliciano and grabbed the heart made by his hair. "I don't want you to have that heart when you're talking to me. Are we clear?" Zoe said the things in the room beginning to shake. Zoe caught on to what was hap happening and began to tear up. She ran out of the dorm and lied down on the sofa of the living room panting and calming herself down. "All of this nonsense ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" Zoe thought to herself, her heart was pounding and she was fighting back her tears along with her memories. Eventually she was calmer and closed her eyes, hoping to stay that way.

Feeling a soft, quiet voice call out his name, he spun around on his heel and saw the spirit of a younger girl, at most around the age 8. He crouched down to get in eye contact with her and he softly smiled. "Hello there, Theresa. How long have you been following me?" The spirit stayed silent, nervously picking at her sleeves. She was a young girl with curly, blonde hair, glasses, and decked in pink, a very feminine girl at that. "I-I didn't want to stay alone at the h-house, so I-I followed you h-here. I'm so sorry i-if I wasn't supposed to. I-It's just Teddy and I get s-scared a lot."
Looking down at the bear she clutched, his eyes darted to Mikhail. "Theresa is a spirit. My family got an old mansion, you see, the thing was a family used to live there a long time back. The Wesson family, and according to Theresa, she didn't really have a good family. She was killed there, and then her family left. She says she didn't bother following them because she only knew she would get ignored, because they wouldn't see her, feel her, and she didn't want to scare them either, because she is considered a poltergeist. After years, my family moved in, and fortunately I was able to see her, so she's been attached to me ever since." Circus let out a quiet chuckle and suddenly his expression changed to concern.
"Hopefully you won't mind my freaky ability to see paranormal. In honesty, it is kind of interesting, to see the spirits of others who have been deceased. There's always that handful though that are considered the 'bad ones'." Circus cocked his head then looked to the young girl again as she hid behind him, slightly scared of the other male, apparently called "Mikhail".
Circus turned his body a bit and smiled. "You don't have to hide. Mikhail's not going to hurt you, he's a good guy. Besides, no one can really hurt you, you're invisible to them. Also, Theresa, you can only stay with me for a little while. You should go talk to the others around here, I'm sure that nice motherly widow would love to see you." The girl nodded once, gripping the end of his coat in silent anxiety.
Looking to Mikhail again, his grin appeared back onto his face. "That's a pretty cool power you got there, aha!"
"Oh..Okay," she stuttered, turning away as he began his work. As she began thinking about him being naked behind her she began to blush. It was the first time she had ever seen anyone naked, and it frightened her a bit. She had always imagined the moment being much more romantic than this one.
"CRAP I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE PAIN WHILE I MADE THE ICE!!!" she heard him yell, spinning quickly to see pellets of ice slamming against him groin. Stumbling backwards she watched as he injured himself more.
"I can't move my body....P-please, I beg you Annabel, PLEASE get the ice pack and hold it on my "area"
She stammered at the question, taken aback, "You want me to..." It was an absurd question, and at first she started moving away from him. However, when she saw the pain on his face, she was panged with guilt. Slowly she reached over and took the ice pack from where it lay, and grimaced as she made her way over to him. She avoided making eye contact with him, or his member as she placed the cold pack over his injury. Turning away she remained, holding the pack on his skin. The moment was awkward, so she brushed one of her long braids behind her ear and looked away toward the window.
"I'm sorry I hurt you...but why did you get naked?" As she said "naked" she began to blush once more.
"You want me to..."
"What a way to go" Adrien thought in his head devastated about what was happening. He thought she wasn't going to help him and right when he thought for sure he was a goner, Annabel put the ice pack on his crotch! "Th-thank you!" He groaned marveling at the courage Annabel gained, while he was in pain.
"I'm sorry I hurt you...but why did you get naked?"
Adrien moaned, he was in deep pain but he wanted to talk to Annabel. "I got naked because, ya' know how when people get stage fright people tell them to imagine that the audience is naked--" Adrien cringed at the sting from the cold ice. "Well, I wanted to make it easier for you, so, I got naked." Adrien finished with a loud moan. "I guess it wasn't the best thing to do was it?" Adrien asked embarrassed about how stupid he was. He then began blushing due to the fact that He showed himself completely to Annabel and now she was almost touching his um... lower region. "Thanks for what you're doing for me Annabel, I now understand what crazy stuff I'm putting you through." Adrien said still blushing. Luckily she wasn't looking at him.
