Kaelana's Story

Myra felt light hit her eyes, causing her to release a soft moan, as she moved her body awkwardly, - in the hopes of her tilting more towards the shades - the outcome was far from what she had expected – or wanted to be exact – so finally, releasing what seemed to be a half annoyed grunt, her eyes slowly, but surely opened. Her light caramel eyes sparkled as she blinked harshly to remove the invisible sleepiness. It had been a long night, perhaps she shouldn’t stay up all night and end up falling asleep somewhere rather deserted and random. Stretching, the soft grass leaves tickled her face as she rolled over to her front. Time to get up she thought to herself, but as usual, she wasn’t much of a morning person, nor felt the need to get up this early, since she had been awake later than usual due to the fact it was the Moon window period which meant better –clearer- nights.

It wasn’t until she heard her stomach grumble lightly that she figured that it would simply be the better option to get up, get dressed and start the day. Only in the hopes of it finishing quickly again. Pushing herself so she was now on all fours, she mumbled coherent words to herself while standing up, dusting herself gently of any grass shavings.

Glancing around her, she saw a few people dotted around, mostly in groups with their friends, but other than that it was still fairly early. Humming gently in the tune of ‘Be Ok by Ingrid Michaelson,’ she strolled indoors towards her dorm, occasionally greeting those she past happily. It was fact that Myra was a cheerful person, who persistently tried to make those around her smile, it was also true that people either found her lovable or annoying, often mistaken her optimistic and kindness to being naive. Conceivably if given a chance, more people would come to love her exultant self, without the fear of being somehow perceived as ‘fake.’ No, it was more to do with looking at life as half filled, as an alternative of it being half empty.

Pushing the door to her dorm open, she stepped inside, carefully making sure to be quiet as her roommate was sleeping, -quite blissfully- and the thought of her being woken up might just be a bit of a nightmare. Shuffling inside, Myra grabbed a few clothes from her neat closet and dragged herself to the bathroom where she stared at herself in the mirror.

It was a miracle that she didn't have any bags under her eyes seeing that she didn’t accurately have enough sleep, or at least the average amount. Her face seemed as clear as day, and her complexion equally as appealing. Stripping herself of her old clothes, she slipped on a loose peach dress, printed with small flowers and blue patterns. As she let her fingers smooth over the soft dress, she picked up a small brown feathered belt, -her roommate’s of course- and tied it around the waist of the dress. Picking up her feet as she walked out of the bathroom, she jumped onto her made bed –which was somewhere she never actually slept in before- and put on a pair of brown knee length socks with peach trims. It wasn’t long enough for her stomach to grumble again, this time quite louder than the first, and so as she stood up, she put on her brown suede shoes. About to walk out of her dorm room, she decided to grab her too big on her cardigan and slipped it on as she walked along the corridor.

While she sauntered towards the canteen to join her friends, she bit her lip at the thought of having to see Ms. Van Sutton, the last time she was there, she literally made an excuse to run away from the session, and ever since then, she’s been secretly avoiding her. Releasing a deep sigh, she ran her delicate painted fingers through her brown locks. ”She’s here to help!” She muttered to herself, after all, she was being childish.

Hearing rather loud noises, she frowned slightly as subconsciously, she began to walk towards it, tilting her head to a better angle, she spotted a rather green Kaelana with what seemed to be a clone of Cheveyo, but of course she couldn’t be exactly sure. Watching a distraught Kaelana as she walked into the headmasters office really did wake up Myra by then. Without another moment of thought, she stepped to the side and walked to the direction of the cafeteria, she had obviously have to talk to Kaelana later on in the day, after her conversation with the Headmaster.

Finally reaching the end of the corridor to where the cafeteria was, she glided inside unnoticeably. Her bright eyes searching around the room until her gaze fell upon Arturo and the others. Before walking over to them, she got herself an apple -as she had the bad habit of never having breakfast, or at least not a large one- and made her way to their table. ”Morning everyone!” She exclaimed cheerfully.

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

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

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

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





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

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

Jack nodded, his already broad grin stretching even further. The first hurdle had been cleared, it'd be just like old times. Able to make friends or at least get people to speak more than two words to him without calling him names. "Well, Nina the Evil it's a pleasure, I guess you can call me Jack the Benevolent." The boy referenced his assessment of being good, something they'd been quick to tell him as soon as he got there. Before he said anything else a man who he could only assume was the headmaster was at their table doing his best to make them both feel welcome. Jack couldn't deny he didn't bask in the attention a little bit.

Jack's eyes trailed after the handsome headmaster as he walked away from their table before returning his gaze to his new found friend. "Yeah, can't say I mind the VIP treatment, especially if he's the one dispensing it. I'd form a lasting relationship with him any day." He sighed with a bit of regret and a wink towards Nina. Augustus was handsome but also a gajillion years old. Well it wasn't like he couldn't crush from afar. Couldn't hurt right. Looking around at the rest of the cafeteria Jack began to industriously eat his breakfast as he checked out the student population of Maldoy. Most of them were incredibly attractive he could admit, even the girls. He just wondered if he'd find anyone that was like him here. You know, someone he could let out a little frustration with.

"So are you nervous? First day of school jitters and all that? I was hoping I had history first period." The cleancut teenager said with mock disappointment. "But english it is, what's your first class maybe we can find it together since this place is still like a freaking maze to me."






Posy looked on with interest as Kaelana was escorted in by the Headmaster. Needless to say it looked like someone had gotten a makeover they weren't happy with. Although Posy, being quite the eccentric really dug the new look and didn't hesitate to say so since Kae looked so upset about it. Might as well try and reassure her like everyone else was right.? As she opened her mouth to speak she was abruptly interrupted by Augustus receiving little to no interest in his history class. So instead of telling Kaelana how cool her new look was, or even just raising her hand in the air she let out a loud catcall and pumped both of her fists into the air before falling completely silent and resuming to eat her apple as she listened to the rest of the table's back and forths. Only showing signs of life once Kaelana addressed her

Whipping her head to nod vigorously to Kaelana she let her feet fall to the floor with a loud thud before springing up from her seat, her silk embroidered robe swirling about her lithe frame. "There is nothing more I want in this world than to learn everything I possibly can at this very moment. I've been inspired by knowledge, Kaelana. Let's not let this opportunity pass us by." Posy said quite seriously, her face belying the fact that she was enjoying being a bit silly. Her blue eyes focused on her friend intently before she she let a smile play around the corner of her usually pouting lips. "Or we could skip, what do you think?






Elle lost her appetite at the sight of Kaelana...a mostly green Kaelana. A small smile quirked across the young redhead's face as she noticed Kaelana obvious discomfort. Good she thought before turning her attention back to her friend and the rest of the activities happening in the cafeteria. She watched the new kids start to bunch up and wondered how long it would take for them to figure out where and with who they really belonged with. Wondered how they felt about coming to a school and immediately being labeled? She listened to the headmaster try to inspire everyone and watched it fail miserably. No way was she raising her hand, the last thing she wanted was him even remembering she existed.

While waiting for Rhine to respond with some clever quip at her expense, Elle was brought out of her reverie by the arrival of Danilo at their table. A genuine smile broke across her lightly freckled face, her entire countenance visibly becoming a bit lighter. Being around people like Danilo usually had that effect on Elle not to mention he was a boy and a quite attractive one at that.

"I was actually just saying something about that, wasn't I, Rhine?" Elle answered in her lilting scottish accent. What are there, like four or five of them?." Looking over her shoulder to catch another glimpse of the few new kids who were actually in the cafeteria, Elle shrugged lightly and turned back to face the boy beside her. "What kinds of standards do you have, Danilo? I'm assuming we make the cut since you so nicely decided to deign us with your presence." Elle asked, motioning to Rhine and herself before propping her chin in her hand and looking up at Danilo, an amused grin playing at the corner of her mouth.






Sally had been up for hours, she was an early riser but this was kind of ridiculous. The twenty-eight year old knew it was because this was her first term teaching. Ever. For some reason Augustus insisted that she'd be the perfect person to be the resident healer/health teacher. She had to admit he was kinda right. It was probably a pretty good fit honestly. Putting her nerves at the back of her mind she walked through her small suite of rooms and carried her cup of tea to the window. A slight frown crossing her face as she noticed the darkening sky. "I thought it was going to be sunny today." She murmured lazily to herself as she finished the dregs at the bottom of her cup and proceeded to get ready for the day. Dusting on a bit of makeup and pinning her long hair atop her head Sally dressed herself in an understated blue dress, threw on a loose sweater in case the weather turned and a pair of flats and left to find her classroom. She'd been there a few times now but she was still getting hopelessly lost.

Walking through the hallways of Maldoy, the sweet-faced dimpled girl looked like a student not a teacher. It was amazing how well she fit in and from some of the stares she was getting from the students she'd have to make it pretty clear she was very much an adult and off limits. Eventually finding herself lost once again. She'd bloody well have to get some kind of gps tracking system for this place. Sally couldn't help but to lose her patience. "Damn it, damn it, damn it. I'll never find the stupid bloody room." She moaned with impatience as she stamped her foot in annoyance. No longer caring if anyone saw a teacher give in to a fit of anger.

Myra looked behind her shoulders to see two new kids, it was then did she realize that there were more people around the cafeteria, all in their usual seats with their friends. As she skimmed around, her eyes fell back onto the new students. A female and a male, surprisingly she felt that it was quite odd that there were new students, and even more so, there were two. The male was quite good looking with dark spiked up locks, while the female, equally as beautiful seemed relatively shy and quiet.

Sighing gently, she took a small bite of her apple, the fresh juice exploding into her mouth. Her eyes brightened slightly unconsciously at Kaelana’s obvious anger and annoyance. ”You still look hot, plus, its suits your power and nature vibe.” She spoke in a somewhat hushed tone, which however much she tried was always quiet, so as the cafeteria was busy, she had raised her voice slightly.

Rolling her eyes at Arturo as him and Kaelana yet again quarrelled, the young brunette bit her lip, wondering whether she should simply forget her troubles and sneak away somewhere, after all, wasn’t her power built for that? Plus, wasn’t the Spring Formal coming up rather quickly? It would be a trouble for her to somehow escape that, invisible or not.

But as quickly as she zoned out, she was brought back to reality by the eager chatters around the room. Frowning slightly, Myra gazed out of the windows to see the dull clouds that Cheveyo was talking about. Holding back an urge to smile, she shrugged gently, her brown locks tumbling forward as she did. ”We can never trust the weather Chev, it’s unpredictable. She smiled.

About to say something, her mood darkened as Cheveyo spoke, “Hey, My. You been practicing your Calculus?”

Groaning gently, she playfully nudged him, ”Oh, why must you bring my mood down?” She said dramatically, ”If you must know, me and Calculus are in a bit of a fight at the moment...” Releasing a mellow sigh, Myra glanced behind her before looking back at Cheveyo.

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

Carlee smiled some at Darell. "It's just the things she does. Like this morning. She forced herself between me and Seychelle when we were sitting together. I mean, It was juvenile, but it didn't make it any less irritating." She said and then let off a small light giggle when he said she may be jealous. " Of what? Me? She's completely gorgeous and I'm just..me."She said looking down at her modest bust size, slender figure. "I don't see why she would be jealous." She said and took a seat with a sigh.


Bradley woke up with a bad attitude. Today was not a good day. He dressed in a black tee with a leather vest and jeans. He was tired of this place already and it was his third year. He walked down the seemingly endless hallway of Maldoy Academy. "Hey, Jason!" said some random girl called, trying to flirt. " Piss off." He spat and she jumped. " It's Bradley, Dammit." He said and kept walking. His abilities made it hard for him to control his own emotions. Nature's give and take. So Sometimes, He could be a really cool guy, but others, like today, he was a bit of an asshole. He walked into the cafeteria ignoring Ae-Jin, Donny and Matthias who were loitering in the hallway and made his way toward the long line of kids patiently waiting for their turn for food before the bell. He walked right into the front of the line, grabbed an apple and some juice while the other kids whined and groaned. "Nobody told you to wait this damn long in the first fucking place." He said to the entire line and took a seat at the table. He could see the 'Titans' yammering away about whatever the hell, Carson shamelessly flirting with Genevieve and Seychelle in a vain attempt to get into their pants. Bradley was under the impression that they were gay and into each other but what the hell. Bradley just rolled his eyes and started to eat.

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posy waggled her fingers at Dakota in hopes that he would follow her having all ready taken note of the gleam in Ruby's eyes and her phone in hand. Posy didn't have to be a genius to put it together and raised her eyebrows as she lazily grinned at the redhead. If she pressed she might be able to get Ruby to stay and plan the party plus it didn't hurt that the girl's eyes lit up when she caught sight of Kota. Yet when Posy saw that even Valentina couldn't keep Ruby present she knew there wasn't much anyone could do. Anyway who was she to stand in the way of True for the moment?

Wandering in amongst the small congregation of students the tall pink haired girl found a spot near the center and handily took the buds from Kaelana, grinning to herself as she thought about the fact that half of them were skipping their first class yet they still didn't feel right about not calling roll.

"In my pocket." Posy said in a light sing song as she produced a small wooden box from within one of the many pockets of her robe. You could always count on Pocketful of Posies to have plenty of surprises tucked away. Silently sliding open the small kit she'd fashioned together through years of happenstance she began to deftly pull apart the buds before rolling them into joints to be passed amongst those who did choose to partake. Glancing quickly at Kota she tried to decipher if perhaps he was disappointed with the fact she wasn't in class, but then again neither was he. Of course, as he would like to point out to her, he also hadn't failed...twice. Turning her attention back to her task she listened mutely as passed her finished product back to Kaelana and slipped her box back into the blue silk robe draped around her.

Sitting back down she crossed her legs and pressed her hands together looking very much like a neo-grunge glam guru blessing their proceedings. "Well then it's decided. All that's left is when? I'd say this weekend can't come soon enough."






Henry nodded to the rest of the group and turned his attention back to Haven who'd by this time had gone very quiet, looking up at his friend Henry noticed her smile had faded as well. Making what he liked to think of as his sad puppy dog face he did his best to draw Haven's attention to himself. He proceeded to stick out his tongue, cross his eyes and make every goofy face he could think of before noticing Nina's presence beside them. Turning a bright shade of red Henry straightened his face and managed to smile cheerfully while feeling like a complete idiot. Their previous meeting leaving no impact on the boy whatsoever. It wasn't like the girl had purposely decided to take a spill and make Henry, Haven and even herself a victim. It was an accident, an accident caused by an idiot on purpose.

Turning his attention back to Kaelana he couldn't help but to feel a bit of excitement at the thought of the upcoming party. A distraction was something Henry could always look forward to, the less time he had to dwell on his thoughts the better and to be perfectly honest drinking always seemed to be his go to cure all. He didn't go out and wreak havoc or turn his anger on others, he didn't go out and get laid or use others to forget his pain. Alcohol just made sense to him. Henry's ability made it difficult for him to get drunk, let alone wasted and even when he did finally reach a point of non-sobriety there was no hangover the next day. No sick stomach or pounding headache, just lots and lots of booze, the stronger the better. He got to feel warm, happy and carefree and all it took was a bit of a drink. Well, a lot of drinks.

Sitting up Henry leaned forward a small frown appearing on his face for the first time at the mention of no liquor, but quickly dismissed his disappointment with the idea that what people didn't know couldn't hurt them. What he kept on his own person was his business and it wasn't like he'd get sloppy drunk, he'd just get to feel something. Like the rest of the kids did.
For the third time in less than a day Nina once again gained his attention. This time because of the mention of her lack of party going expertise. Henry was even able to drag Haven to parties occasionally, well not drag, his best friend definitely didn't do anything she didn't want to. Something that he admired her for and kind of hoped would rub off on him.

"Well, Nina that's something that is definitely going to have to change and I couldn't think of a better place to start than here." He proclaimed cheerfully, his trademark grin flashing across his face as he looked up at the new girl.




Elle smiled and nodded approvingly at Rhine. They might not be happy right now or have exactly what they wanted but they were clever. They had all the tools and now all they had to do was use them, for what? Who knew, but for now? Definitely for fun, and if they weren't having fun they'd just fake it til they made it. After all appearances seemed to be everything around here. Laughing softly along with her friend she trailed behind the elfin, blonde girl. Elle never felt as comfortable or as free with her emotions or actions like other people. The stubborn ginger only operated on two levels. One that was full of surface emotions like anger, lust or contentment that flitted by rapidly and never stayed long and one that was full of a deep, quiet wrath with a dark sense of entitlement. She knew no other way and only understood that most people were different once she was able to actually be them.

"Mess with a new kid? That's probably the way it'd have to be, everyone else can see us coming a mile away." Elle replied with a quick grin as she kept pace with Rhine. That wasn't exactly true but it was true that their fellow schoolmates knew what they could do and in some cases even what they were capable of. A quick image of Henry's face flashing through her brain before she shook her head as if to erase his very existence. "Any ideas? I could do the whole jump into an animal freak people out thing with how clever the squirrel is...but that's getting pretty old. If only I could take over a flock of birds, pull a Hitchcock. That'd be fun." She mused, finding herself curious about the idea of dominating a hive mind, not birds perhaps but there were definite possibilites. Something she would have to bring up with Jason when she saw him next perhaps.

The precocious teenager had long since stopped asking her teachers about her ability and most definitely not about the advancement of it. She didn't often show it but Elle was perfectly aware that she creeped people out. The thought of her possessing someone was too much for some, even for some teachers she thought. It was as if she were an actual walking,talking demon going to class beside them, didn't hurt that she was officially evil now either. That was why she cultivated a relationship with Jason. He was brilliant and calculating and surprisingly good at mentoring though she'd never tell him so. He'd actually taught her a bit about restraint, something the actual professors had yet to do.

"Keep your eyes peeled, Rhine." Maybe we'll get lucky and won't have to search far for some fun." Elle finished as she continued on in the general direction of their classes.






"Bloody hell!" exclaimed Sally as she pressed the palm of her hand to her chest as if to steady her heart. "Doubt I'll ever get use to that." She said with a grin and a small laugh at Vaughan Bennett who'd just teleported himself directly into her classroom as other fourth years began to file in through the door. Sally had been expecting a lot of things but teleportation wasn't one of them. How utterly fascinating she thought, to be here and then there at the snap of your fingers...or however it worked.

"You must be..." Sally began as she read over the small dossier she'd received on her students and hadn't cracked open once until now. Considering that they all had their own unique powers with their own unique quirks and needs it was quite helpful to know what the students could do and what they were capable of. "Vaughan Bennett." She finished brightly, her dimples flashing as she smiled at the boy and turned her attention to the rest of the class now finding their seats.

"Yes, Good morning, hello everyone. Sit where you'd like, no seating charts. I don't have the patience for that." She called out, her english accent soft yet quite pronounced, as she moved to lean back against the front of her desk. Silently smoothing out the skirt of her blue dress she clasped her hands in front of her and stared out at the classroom that was quickly beginning to fill up. Taking a deep breath she tried to calm the nerves that were once again beginning to settle in the pit of her stomach.

"Welcome to Health Class. I am Miss Winters and as most of you know by now. I am new here, so please be kind and patient and we'll probably all make it out of here alive."
