New Beginnings

The place was huge, she had to give it that. Huge and old, from the looks of it. She stood just outside the gates with a bag over her shoulder and another in her hand, staring through the bars at the building. It intrigued her and terrified her at the same time. It was the first her gift had been recognized, but she did not expect it to get special treatment, including a school with others like her.
With a sigh, Kaylee gently pushed open the gate and stepped inside, shutting it behind her. She turned back to face the school again.

Oliver sat on a mahogany bench, thumbing through each page of his textbook with a blank, emotionless stare. Reading such long paragraphs, such numerous amount of pages made ennui rise up from within his chest. It was a dreadful, sickening feeling, and when he couldn't take looking at another word about alkaline metals and their reactivity towards other atoms, Ollie quite dramatically shut the textbook, an exasperated sigh escaping his lips. As he did this, though, he saw a girl walk through the gate.

She must be new. Ollie thought, putting on a smile and standing up. Helping a new person would surely free him from the insufferable curriculum of the book he was reading, at least giving him an excuse to take a break. He walked up to the girl, first taking sure there was nothing off putting about his appearance. "Hello. Do you need help with anything? You seem new." said the boy as he approached the girl, a warm countenance across his face. "I could show you to the dorms. Give you a tour. Anything you need."
Anything.

As the boy approached, Kaylee became a little concerned. She was not the best at introductions, but knew that if she acted confident, she would feel at least a little confident. When he reached her, she smiled, listening to him talk. He seemed extremely friendly.
"Hello, thank you," Kaylee answered brightly. "Um, I suppose seeing the dorms and such would be nice. I'm not exactly sure where to go. Thank you!"

She spoke nearly a mile a minute, but ended with a beam towards him. Suddenly realizing something, she added on, "Oh, and my name's Kaylee."

"Nice to meet you, Kaylee." said the boy with a grin. "My name is Oliver. Follow me to the Dorms"
He began to walk through the Courtyard, birds chirping in the distance. The sky was clear that day, without a cloud in sight within it's light blue ocean. It was warm as well, but the boy nevertheless wore heavy leather gloves on his hands. Oliver also had a light dark gray jacket on, and slipped his hands into his pockets. "So, what are you in here for; if you mind me asking?" inquired the boy. He always was curious about other people's powers and what was going on in their minds. A smile stayed on his face, and he walked at a slow pace. Yeah, I know that rhymed.

Kaylee followed after Oliver, wanting to gaze about at all the sights but also wanting not to lose him. She laughed somewhat nervously at his question.
"You make it sound like a prison," she joked. Immediately, however, her imagination began concocting terrible images of uniforms, strict lines through meals, torturous interrogations, painful experiments, and the like. The smile slipped from her face a little, but Kaylee shook her head to clear the thoughts. "I can duplicate myself, you know, multiply or clone. What about you?"

Cloning, eh? That was an interesting power. When Oliver was asked his own question, he shrugged. "I can control ice and stuff. Well...I can't really control it. If I touch something with my bare hands, I'll freeze it, so I have to keep these gloves on."
He raised his hand to show her said gloves. The inside of them was lined with ice, though he didn't seem to mind any. His body was extremely resistant to cold, and he could last out in a blizzard coatless and not feel the least bit uncomfortable. "Well, this is the courtyard. It is like a park in the front yard of the campus."

Blue eyes widening, Kaylee took a few long steps to walk beside Oliver. She hadn't had the chance to hear about others' gifts; from this one, it seemed as though nothing was impossible.
"That's a pretty cool gift," she said out loud. She walked silently for a while before speaking again. "So what do we do here?" Kaylee asked.
