Strained Minds

Jeremiah laid in the infirmary bed, trying not to think. Trying, and failing. Despite all the previous practice he had with meditation and blanking his mind, Jeremiah could not distract himself from the massive migraine that was building up. "This is even worse than the time I got into my father's bar when I was 12" he thought. "And that was one hell of a hangover." Laying in the bed, waiting for a diagnosis, was probably one of the most boring things Jeremiah had ever done. He hoped somebody would visit him, but he knew that was unlikely to happen since he only  ever met two people in the school: Kale and Lily.

With nothing else to do as he waited, he decided to use his last resort. "Cley, I am going to dictate a letter to you. Write it, and send it to my father." Jeremiah waited for Cley to get out a pen and paper, then cleared his throat and continued.

Faith, the girl everyone seems to avoid all the time, slowly walks down the hallways, frowning like usual. Her grey hair covered her eyes as she walks by all the doors, making it so she avoids eye contact with everyone. As she heads to her class, this one door seems to catch her eye, drawing her close to it. As she neared it, the voice of a male fills her ears, making her smile a bit. Maybe I can steal something of his before a teacher notices. She thought as she opened the door, revealing a boy who was writing a letter. At first she was going to go with her original plan, but she changed her mind and just smirks. "Are you busy sir?"

Jeremiah perked up when he realized he had a visitor. Turning towards the voice, he saw a gloomy girl in a black dress standing in the doorway. "Unfortunately, no. I'm not busy. I would much rather be in a class right now than in this bed. I have a terrible headache, and I have not a thing in the world to do. How about you, miss..." pausing, Jeremiah dragged on the s waiting for her to say her name.

"I was just looking for my class when I heard you through the door. I don't mind ditching, so I'll probably stay here for a while so I don't get caught." She then leans against the now closed door, smirking down upon him. Her eyes glimmered under the lighting as she spoke, giving her a stunning appearance. "I'm Faith by the way. Faith Foster." Her voice sounded a bit cold to most people, which is one of the many reasons why she didn't have many friends. It also made her a bit unapproachable as well, which surprisingly wasn't really done on purpose by her. "Anyways, what's your power anyways? Let me guess; creating snow." She says the last part with a higher pitch voice, chuckling at herself afterwards.

Jeremiah breathed in sharply, his face having turned purple in the time it took Faith to say her name. He spent another minute catching his breath, and the color slowly returned to his face. "Actually, my power is remotely interesting, no offense intended if snow is your power. I can program things to do what I want. In fact, just this morning I was programming a shield to defend me from projectiles." Thinking about how the shield brought about his current state made his headache flare, causing him to wince. As he was talking, Cley walked back into the room, climbed onto the bed, and sat next to Jeremiah's head, staring at Faith.

"This is Cley. He's my golem. Cley, this is Faith." Jeremiah said in introduction. Cley looked at Faith and tilted his head, staring as if she were some sort of oddity or painting.

Faith notices the Golem's stare, so she naturally just glares at it, smirking a bit. "Interesting power, but honestly it sounds a bit boring as well." She says with a small shrug. "But that's only to me." Her eyes then gaze over back to the boy, staring at his appearance for a while before look down at her raven black watch. "I may leave soon since you are failing to entertain me, and the fact that they may catch me over here after all." To her, this boy seems pretty decent, but too much of a teacher's pet. And most of the time, the teacher's pet are always boring, which isn't something Faith wants to hang around.

Mallach trudges through the hallway for hours, looking for his room. The wind had blown his map away and he needed to drop off his stuff, mainly a pathetically small sack that he had flung over one shoulder. In it he had all of his belongings ever, few as they were. He is wearing a black trench-coat that comes to his knees, a grey t-shirt with a skull on it and a baggy pair of dark blue-jeans with holes in the knees. He opens the door to the infirmary and tentatively calls out "h-hello? I think I might be lost." His raven mornever croacks the end of his sentence from atop his shoulder "LOST!"

Rouge stalked along, trying to maintain an illusion for an extended amount of time for practice. Her illusion stamina was quite shameful, in her opinion. So she made a majestic, magnificent, mirage bird which she had to chase along through the hallways. It flew into an infirmary room. "****!" She chased it in there, stopping when she noticed two other human beings in there. Her kitten rested contentedly on her shoulder, and the bird landed on the shoulder opposite the kitten. She could feel the beginning of a potentially horrible headache starting. "Oh, hello there." She let off a charming smile toward the two.

Faith looks over at the other two people, who just entered the room, and sighs. "Seems like more idiots joined the party..." Was the only thing she mutters under her voice before pushing herself away from the wall. Her lips were still in her usual frown and her brown eyes continued to stay dull and bored. Everyone in this world was an idiot to her, so obviously she wasn't going to come off as nice girl from a small town, but more of a loner. "The classrooms are on the other side of the campus by the way." She then informs the other guy, rolling her eyes a bit despite the fact she got lost as well. Before she would've been glad to meet new people, but now she would be better off alone. This could always change in the future, but for now this was how she was, and no one could change that...easily.

Mallach coughs "I'm sorry, I was looking for the Dorms actually." His raven caws loudly. "My apologies! He's a little loud." He says patting the ravens head.

Faith clutches her fist tightly as his crow caws loudly, trying to keep her cool. "Shut that damn bird up!" She growls once his cawing stopped. "The dorms are nearby here, I'm planing on heading over there now since my class should've ended by now. You two may come with me if you like." Usually she wasn't one to invite guest with her out of no where, but she haven't talked with them for too long yet, so she isn't exactly sure if their worthy of being her friends. Plus, it's not like Faith's a loner, so having some friends to help her with her criminal acts is always nice. As the two thought over her request, Faith just sighs softly, turning around to face them once more. At the moment, her eyes were not as cold as before, but more devilish or evil, and her lips were actually in a smirk now.

Mallach flinches when she yells, he pets mornever on the head and sinks into wounded silence. He mumbles a thank-you and begins walking to the dorms, not even seeming to hear her offer to walk together.

Rouge snapped as soon as Faith's offers shot from her mouth. "I dislike you." She had no idea why she said that. But, that girl. Her personality, the way she acted, even the way she looked made Rouge detest being around her. "So, no, I refuse your offer." She shook her head with in a slightly displeased way, but for some reason, stuck around. To annoy this girl. To get a sick kick out of bothering this girl. Which, honestly, didn't make her any better, but the hotheaded sorceress cared not at the moment. She made her bird disappear and pointed at Faith's head, creating an illusion of a small stormcloud which then began to rain.

Faith just smirks, ignoring the cloud without even trying. She knew that everyone in this school was going to be a pain in the ass, but of course she just HAD to go and  see for herself. "I was just asking a simple question, there was no reason for such a rude remark." She says to the girl with a chuckle, brushing the hair away from her evil eyes, which glimmers with despair.  "Many people hate me, so I really don't give a damn if you like me or not." Once she was satisfied with herself, Faith just turns around and skates away, until the need of some sort of pay back kicked in. She was going to make this girl regret her words.

Jeremiah watched the entire exchange in silence. After Faith walked off, he spoke up. "I don't like her much either. Jeremiah Fenwyre. Pleased to meat your acquaintance. So your power is illusions?" he asked. Cley too watched the exchange, but when the miniature storm cloud appeared he hid behind Jeremiah's head. He knew from experience that any water was dangerous for him.
