Tucker's Academy (2+ slots left, Starting)

Reuben

Reuben shivers slightly, snow somehow building around him. He swallows back his fear and closes his eyes, more images flashing through his mind. The girl from before slips into a row close to him, his eyes opening, and hides just like he does.

Feeling somewhat responsible for what's happening, he crawls closer to her, not wanting to be as alone as he feels. She glances at him and more images flood his head, crowding.

"I-I guess w-we're the only two with sense." He flashes a smile, trying to joke.

Scout

The boy that I helped earlier came running over to where I was hiding.

"I-I guess w-we're the only two with sense." He says with a smile.

"Yeah." I say with a light smile. "Say, do you know what is really going on here?" I question.

Reuben

"Say, do you know what is really going on here?" She asks.

Reuben swallows, looking back out at the chaos.

"Powers." He says. "T-the guy said something about powers that p-people got. The chemical spill last summer... I-it's about that, I think."

Another vision flips through Reuben's mind and he looks away, biting his lip and clenching his fists to keep from exposing his side-effects. His head pounds, the cold around him not helping matters.

Caius Riot

"Just keep them off and let everyone else flee for now." I yell over to crowd.

I create a barrior around the four that I had defeated, I generated the power slowly with each one I create I loss a small bit of life force each time, I felt it each time. with it created I fell to one knee in searing pain of what I did.

"Caius!" Dani yells.

Spoiler

Deeply,terribly, enormously sorry for the lack of posts. One, school started again :'( and it's all just a bit confusing. pm me if i've got any facts wrong.

Charlotte

I swayed blindly through the hallway, blood rushing in my ears. Gradually, the sting of the vibes faded to mere tingles as I pushed open yet another door. To my left somewhere was gut wrenching guilt, to my right the airy, high feeling of someone using.

I shook my head warily and took a deep breath in, trying to calm my nerves. What was going on in this place? Who was that?

As I walked through an empty hall, feeling out the different emotions that dwelled in the school, I found a distinctly familiar one, the one with the same troubled yet relaxed vibe. It was beside someone. Someone who didn't have a trace of any depressing vibes. I was automatically drawn in to it, the serene sense it gave off, like a mosquito to the light.

"... I-it's about that, I think." Then suddenly a pang of exasperation...almost pain-like.

I crept closer, curious of who those two were.

Spoiler

It's alright, Cerulean. Everything's fine. It's just that you might not have been able to get out into the halls, but I'd wait for MM's imput on that. And, just to make sure, Char and Reu are still okay for a couple right? And they're about to meet?

Reuben

More images flash before Reuben's eyes, making him suddenly aware of the shadow creeping towards him. He mistakes it as a hallucination, a side effect of the visions, and clenches his fists even tighter, his nails drawing blood from his palm. His heart races, his breath sharpening, and he glances at the girl beside him to see if she's notices. Finding that she hasn't, he slightly scoots a foot or so away to keep things the way they are, bumping into someone behind him.

(People are clearing out atm, Caius and Dani are fighting all those that stick around to fight them everyone else is either fleeing or has hidden.)

Spoiler

So I take that as a 'yes, she can get out'

Char Caverly

I stepped cautiously forward like a cat coming out from under the bed, when I got another pang of nausea, the feeling of...dark, confused anger...whatever it is, growing. I wrinkled my nose and was about to hide back into the shadows when he suddenly stepped backwards, bumping right up to me.

A strangled "Oww," escaped my lips, slightly muffled from having my nose pressed right up against his back. How awkward.

He whipped around in surprise to see me rubbing my nose sourly. The girl also finally caught on that there was a stranger lurking around behind them.

What a wonderful start, caught stalking them didn't seem like a very friendly first impression. So much for Dad's "Make a lot friends, Charlotte," proposal.

Spoiler

I guess so

Reuben

He turns around and finds a girl there, looking almost as scared as he's feeling. She's rubbing her nose and he wonders if he'd hurt her.

"I'm sorry." He says. "I-I didn't see you."

He reaches towards her hands before taking his back, the scrapes visable. Awkwardly reddening, he looks down and forcuses on the new set of images flooding his mind.

When he's in control again, he glances back at her, waiting for some sort of reaction.

Charlotte

I peered curiously at his hand and before I could take a closer look, he quickly drew it back, flushing red in the process. Embarrassment flooded to me though I tried to act nonchalant about it. He glances back at me and for once, I was filled with relief. He didn't have that judge aura around him, just a slightly scared yet expectant vibe.

I looked at the ground and patted my messy bun nervously, a bad habit I had to get out of. I cleared my throat and dared a glance at him.

"Um, yeah, its ok," I mutter self consciously.

I wrapped my hands around my elbows and shifted awkwardly from one foot to another.

"And I don't usually sneak up on people," I say, trying to sound as if it were perfectly normal, "I just…didn't want to intrude," I finished lamely.

He thawed up just a bit and automatically, I could feel myself relax some too, though the nauseating feeling just wouldn't leave me.

I looked at him cautiously again and said, "Hey…are you, um, okay?"

Reuben

"Hey..are you, um, okay?" The girl asks.

Reuben lets the question simmer in his mind, not so sure himself. He looks at his hands, then wonder what he must look like to others as he meets her gaze again.

"F-fine." He turns away, watching as the ceiling boy rounds up four others.

He starts shivering again without realizing it, slightly rocking back and forth. His mind displays what's to come for those four; fear, pain, separation...

Before he can comprehend what he's doing, he's closer to the girl, practically cowering near her feet.

Spoiler

I had the audacity to actually leave my laptop at school (forgot about it) and it just happened to be the exchange teacher that I was tryin to make a good impression on that found it XD Anyways my point is that this will be short; typing on phones aren't that fun

Charlotte

The boy was spilling with emotions, enough to actually make me lightheaded, but strangely, in a good way if it was possible. I was busy placing labels on the different vibes, caught up in my own head when I suddenly realized our proximity. When did he get so close? It took a lot out of me not to squeak and try to shrink away.

But from this distance I could finally make out his features. Oh what perfect skin he has. And to die for eyelashes too.

"so....what are your names?" I said quietly.

Spoiler

It's alright

Reuben

The girl whispers, asking for their names, and Reuben realizes how close they are. He distances himself, his breath short and shallow, and looked out at the rest of the auditorium in paranoia.

"R-Reu," Is all he's able to get out.

He looks at the girl, slightly embarrassed, and could make out what she looks like, his breath quickening with each glance.

"Yours?"

Dani

Caius drops to one knee and I look worried. "Caius!" I scream. I rush over to him and help him up, scared that he was hurt. I made him face me. "Are you okay?" I ask.
