Everyone seemed really nice. Which meant it was my que to leave. I never really have related to people and I liked to be alone. I sighed and held my knees to my chest, leaning against the huge tree. I looked at the stars. I had been fasinated with constallations since I was a little girl. They were beautiful and interesting.

I wasn't really paying attention when someone sat next to me. I didn't care, they would go away soon. But they didn't. I lowered my face and turned to the person.

"Yes?" I asked, slightly annoyed.

<Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. There is quite a bunch of posts I haven't read, but I've got a fair idea about what's going on. Feel free to jump in>

*Anyone wanna get food with matt?*

*Sure!*

Lee~

After a moment of staring up at the moon I felt my stomach growl. I looked down at it, I skipped breakfast this morning, and stayed behind to fix up my dorm during lunch. "Um guys I'm going to get something to eat." I blurted out as I stood up and was about to walk off when I realized I had no idea where to go. I looked back at every one else.

"Keep going straight then take a right at the third bush till you get to a large building." the girl that I had accidentally grabbed her arm said as she looked down, I guess she was a mind reader.

"OK thanks." I replied as I happily walked to go get something to eat. After finally getting there I waited in line behind some guy. I got tired of just standing there so I decided to make polite conversation. "Hi I'm Lee." I said as I looked up at him. He turned towards me. . .
*You can take it from there ridersoddamar

thanks for that

MATTHIAS~~

I turned towards her and smiled. Maybe this was working, I had talked to more people today than I had all year so far.

"Im Matt. Its nice to meet you. Is this your first year?"

Lee walked out leaving me and AShlyn. I was still hungry but i do not want to leave this place. There is a sense of joy here. Me and the stars. I heard a little noise behind me. It sounded like Sonnet but i did not mind.

"Sorry did i botehr you?" i apologized to Ashylyn.

"Not much."

"You like to watch the stars do you?" i asked

"Since i was a little girl," she replied and i stood up for a moment and breathe the fresh air. i do not want to disturb her and therefore i left. I am still new to this place and it will be better if i get around here more.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll be taking a walk..." i asked and afterwhich i left. I walked past a small corner where a small hedge stood beside the back of the building and beside this was a line of trees withs its flowers flowing through the pathway. I walked here before i headed to find a toilet.

Lee~

"Yeah, this is my first day. This place is very intense." I joked he smiled as if he was happy to be talking to some one.

"So I guess that means you haven't been to the doctor." he said with a sigh.

"No, so I guess he is as bad as every one has been saying." I thought back to when I was in my parents lab.

"Are you okay, you looked like your about to cry." Matt noted.

"Huh. Oh yeah I'm fine just thinking back. So what are some of your classes?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Hmm... I havent really been to them in a while. Biology, Math, History, Gym all the normals."

"So you dont have training?"

"Hmm?"

"Where you work on your powers."

"Oh! Well I don't really have anything to work on. Its a physical thing." I motioned to my body.

"Oh."

"So..." I couldn't think of anything to talk about. I really needed to get out more.

Lee~

"So. . ." an awkward silence broke out, it was strange how we were talking just fine and now nothing.

"So I guess your not an elementalist then, if your power is a physical one. So what is it." I blurted.

"Um. . .yeah. . ." I guess I just went to a bad topic it was as if he didn't want to talk about his power, great it seemed like I was scaring off some one else.

"Well I'm sort of an elements. I can control gravity. . . sort of." I blurted out.

I smiled, "Mines sort of complicated."

I winced as the blade broke my skin. The three blades came out from between my fingers and were normally about a foot and a half long, but I made them smaller so that I wouldn't startle everyone. When they were out I cut myself across the arm. I saw her wince but I didn't do anything. As we watched the skin grew back and I was just left with a splotch of blood.

"Oh."

"Yeah, theres more than that but thats basically it. what did you mean by 'sort of'?"

Lee~

The sight of his blood mad me go queasy as I thought of all the people that died because of my blood. . .

"Yeah, there's more than that but that's basically it. What did you mean by 'sort of'?" he asked with interest. I thought of all the pain my power has cased and all the reasons I was here.

"Um. . .well because. . .um. . .I got to go." I blurted as I sprinted out of the line forgetting about my hunger for a moment. I felt like I was being suffocated, it was as if all of my memories where coming back to me. . .to many. I ran till I was pretty sure I was lost, I crumpled to the ground and curled up into a ball, letting the hot tears come out, as I silently cried.

*she doesn't have full control cause it's just the gravity around her. And then the blood thing*

Having agreed to a time to practice his power with Aaliyah, Victor found himself so excited that he was on the verge of literally wetting his pants. He decided it would be better to end the conversation abruptly and go to the toilet than to risk embarrassing himself in front of her.

As he walked through the corridoors back to the main hall, he noticed the clear sky outside, and decided to look at the stars - astronomy being a new found interest of his. It was something he could do and enjoy alone, without risking the mental welfare of those around him. He laid down on the grass, naming the stars and constellations he knew aloud and taking note of those he still needed to learn.

Victor had always described himself as being nocturnal - that wasn't to say he was more awake during the night, but he always enjoyed the quietness and the stillness of the night. Happy to lie in the darkness, he barely noticed the cold and drifted off to sleep, smiling contentedly.

Lee~

After a few moments of not being able to stop crying I got up and headed to my dorm, so much for this being the happiest I've been in awhile. At least. . .well I couldn't think of a good reason for any thing to make me feel better. . .Why did I run off like that? He probably thinks I'm scared of him or something I thought as I walked back to my dorm.

I looked to my left and saw some guy sleeping. . .I didn't know we had hobos at are school I thought as I chuckled to myself. Then I remember seeing him earlier so he was just some kid who skipped the meet and greet to. I sighed to myself as I went to see if he was alive.

sorry i haven't been posted in a while, am really busy with exams

Victor groaned as he was shaken back to the land of the conscious. He looked up and saw the silhouette of someone kneeling over him.

"You alright?" The person asked.

"Yeah." He yawned. "Just, uh, taking a nap."

"Here? Are you crazy?"

"Probably a little. What time is it?"

The person looked at her watch, but it was too dark to see.

"Not sure." She said.

"But the meet and greet thing is still on, right? I haven't slept a whole day since then?"

The person laughed.

"No, it's still on."

"Cool...do I know you?"

"Well I don't recognise you." She said. "I'm Lee, pleased to meet you."

"Pleased to meet you too, I'm Victor." He shook Lee's hand.

I smiled up at the stars and streched. How long had I been here? My muscles felt stiff as I stood up. I looked around. Where had everyone went?

I walked a little. It had been nice to get away from everything. The moon was out now and it was shining on everything. The flowers seemed to glow ans shimmer beneath the light of the night.

I walked down the sidewalk and laughed. It was beautiful here. I loved the night. Everything seemed so much more...intense. I twirled randomly. I was full of energy. My powers must have returned. They were as strong as ever. Which really wasn't saying much.

I thought I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I walked back down and saw Mattias. He looked upset and a little...shaken.

"Are you alright?" I asked. He nodded. I bit my lip. Something was up with him and I could scan his mind to figure it out, but I promised never to do that. It wasn't any of my buisness. He would tell me if he wanted. Still I couldn't surpress the curiousity I felt. Wasn't this the guy who almost ate a deer? I hoped he was okay.
