"After you what? You guys got some dear dark secrets or something? You two fell in love and ran away from home? I bet that's it!" he said, thinking he had hit the nail on the head, not even bothering to notice their fairly similar facial features.
"They just like...found me, it was crazy."

Drake looked over to Theo, "We got kicked out, you know, parents who are anti-mutant, pretty typical story." he said giving a friendly smile to Theo. "You're a very friendly person, I'm Drake." he held out his hand ready for a shake.

Theo returned the handshake, his free hand rubbing the back of his head at the blunt comment on his social nature. "Yeah, I guess I am. I'm Theo. My philosophy is what's the point of enemies when you can have friends?" he said, looking around at the variety of people in the room, "Friends are fun, man, enemies take work."
Having heard their story, he thought briefly on his on, trying to make quick sense of things, but it turned out to be effort he didn't want to expend for answers he didn't want to know. He knew of mutants having a multitude of horrible things happen to them, but he had been fortunate, and he was determined to remain happy-go-lucky, since he knew it could be him any time. He owed it to everyone who wasn't as fortunate, perhaps.

As the two boys continued talking, Fayth remained silent, barely even paying attention as she continued spacing out and thinking about the memories that she wish she could simply forget. Finally after Theo spoke up again, Fayth looked up at her brother, tugging on his shirt slightly to get his attention.
"Hey... I'm gonna go... Somewhere. I'll find you later, okay?"
She looked away from him quickly, her eyes looking almost empty as she looked up at Theo again. "It was very nice meeting you," she said right before she slowly started to walk off, biting down on her lip slightly as she tried to get away from people for a while.

"Heeeeey!"
"Heeeeeey!"
"Partaaaaaay!"
"OMGEE!"
The cafeteria trays slammed down on the table, jolting Chloe right out of her daydreaming. She groaned and ran her fingers through her straightened hair. The flat iron effect was wearing off and she could feel her natural curls starting to reform. It had been a long two weeks of traveling. She'd spent some time with her Uncle and Cousins in Ethiopia before catching a plane to Italy where she'd met up with her brother, Hagos. They'd taken the train to meet up with their mother and sister in Cassis where they waited out the remainder of Summer Vacation.
She'd the left her family's little villa in the south of France to get back to Paris, where she'd flown with her father into Dulles International Airport. They'd had a pleasant farewell breakfast before he'd hopped on his connecting flight to SFO and she was on her way back to school. Needless to say, Chloe was in deep need of a bubble bath and a bed.
"So are you guys all situated? That's what Vera and I've been doing all morning," Nik's lofty voice cut right into Chloe's thoughts.
"Not yet! It's going to be so much fun though, we're in the best dorms!" Jennifer gushed, "Those suites are huge and each four suites share two bathrooms! Thank GAWD!"
Chloe chuckled at the comment for she knew that Jennifer's excitement had absolutely nothing to do with spacious rooms or private bathrooms. It was because the dorm was coed. Enough said.
"So wait, are you guys rooming together?" Nik asked, wagging her finger back and forth between Chloe and Jennifer. Chloe shrugged but Jennifer, of course, took offense to the comment.
"Of course we are!" She snapped, "Chloe and I are best friends!" She made sure to put emphasis on that part, as if she was making an announcement. Jennifer had worked hard to solidify her social status and she wasn't giving it up for anybody, damn it.
At her confirmation, Nik and Vera exchanged glances and Chloe immediately knew that they were aware of something.
"Okay, what is it?" Chloe finally spoke up, leaning forward.
"Well..." Vera began but cut herself off by taking a gulp of her milk.
"OMG Total drama! What happened?" Jennifer gushed completely oblivious to idea that it could involve her.
"Okay like, remember how the dorm mother got mad at you guys last year?" Nik spoke up.
"Oh! I forgot about that," Chloe snickered, sipping some water, "We apologized, we didn't know he was her boyfriend,"
"Well it's not our fault she's fat!" Jennifer added in as if that was the most critical detail. Chloe wearily cut her eyes at Jennifer but didn't bother to interject, instead Nik waved her hands as if she were batting a fly and continued on,
"She vowed to separate you two!"
"Sooooo heinous," Vera added in, shaking her head at the travesty.
"Well she can't do that! My parents donate money to this school!" Jennifer shot back, appalled at the very idea that the fat dorm mother was trying to break up their clique.
Chloe set down her water and calmly reached in her bag, pulling out the school packet that she'd never bothered to open. She primly ripped open the seal and began to go through the thick stack of papers until she came across the dorm information. She scanned it and suddenly her eyes widened with shock,
"My roommate is Yun Nguyen?" Chloe asked, finally expressing some sort of emotion, "Who is that?!"
"WHAT? WHAT? WE'RE NOT ROOMMATES?!" Jennifer looked absolutely devastated as she snatched the paper out of Chloe's hands and read the name over and over again as if it just might change if she read it enough times, "This is not possible!!"
"Who is Yun Nguyen?" Chloe asked again, glancing up from the table and around the cafeteria as if she expected some floating sign to point to this mysterious roommate.
"I can't believe that bitch did this!!" Jennifer wailed.
"Sooooooooo heinous," Vera replied half heartedly before sneaking a bite of Jen's pudding.
Chloe sighed and rubbed her forehead, she didn't mind being separated from Jennifer, in fact she welcomed the break. However, Chloe didn't like surprises and in her book, this was one hell of a surprise. Surprise! lol.

Mark strolled through the dorms, picking up a game of dice or blackjack with the innocent freshmen. Through a bit of mind control, he earned about sixty bucks off of them and managed to find out who the trust fund mutants were in the new class. With a smirk, he departed and went to the cafeteria, now that he had money to retrieve food. He sat down with a burger near everyone else, "I'm Mark," He spoke somewhat cordially, but most of them seemed absorbed into the roommate situation.

"Was it something I said?" he asked with a shrug towards Drake as he watched his sister depart. He glanced over in the direction of some yelling girls. There certainly was a lot of that going around (although it seemed mostly to be one girl, the friend of that hot chick, but who's name Thoe didn't know)
"Man, separated into teams. I wonder who's gonna be on my team, I hope everyone is cool. Who are the cool professors?" he asked Drake, still asking questions like crazy.

"It's really a matter of opinion." Drake replied. He looked over at the shouting girls. "Seriously dude, those girls are annoying as hell, aside from that one that just sits there." he said shaking his head. "I really do fell sorry for whoever's on that loud one's team."

"I'm Mark,"
A hush went over the girls when they realized someone had bogarted their way to their table. All four girls exchanged glances before slowly turning and staring at this guy. Chloe studied him for a moment before cautiously returning his greeting, "Ce Va? How are you?" It was polite enough, but still distant, brimming with questions as to why in the world he thought it was okay to speak to them.
The other three girls turned towards him like anxious coyotes, it was written all over their faces that all they needed was the slightest irk to strike.

Darke saw Mark over with the loud people. "Excuse me a second..." he said to Theo. He rand over to Mark and whispered in his ear. "Don't try to con them...we'll never hear the end of it." he looked up and saw Chloe, he smiled and walked back over to Theo.

Mark ignored Drake's warning and continued to speak, "I'm all right. It seems a lot of people are afraid to sit here," Mark observed, biting into his burger as though he belonged. Some freshmen looked over at the table. Most of them probably wanted to speak to Chloe and her crew, to get some or just to be cool, "It's weird because most of them want to probably date you. You'd think they woulda came over here first," He stated bluntly with a full mouth. Seeing reactions from social cliques was always amusing to him. In the end, they were all the same,
"A classy lady like you is unlikely to make the first move after all,"

Looking around, he spied a guy and a girl talking to each other casually. Well, the guy just said hi but it seemed pretty casual. He walked up to the two of them and immediately introduced himself. "Hi. My name is Raines. This is my fairy, Robert. Nice to meet you." If Raines knew what cockblocking was, this would have been it. "Fairy?! First you try and suffa- whoa!" Robbie blurted as he stumbled back, Raines shrugging slightly but just enough to get the tiny boy off balance. He tumbled down Raines' jacket sleeve like it was a hill and landing with a tiny thud in the middle of table. "Ow..." he groaned, voice muffled by the table.

At first Chloe looked slightly stunned by his bluntness, but then she leaned back in her chair with a groan. Was this guy serious? Seriously serious? She was not very fond of strangers and even less fond of strangers with cheesy compliments and pick up lines. Maybe if she pretended to be deaf, he'd leave.
Of course, it didn't take long for the other girls to pounce, especially Jennifer, who'd stood up in her chair, ready to be the center of attention.
"Okay, EXCUSE ME?! Who do you think you are?!" she gasped, dramatically widening her eyes.
"Yeah!" Vera pipped in while Nik snickered.
"Did we invite you over here?!" Jennifer continued on.
"Like, ew no," Vera cajoled.
"Not in this life time!" Nik snapped her fingers all chaotically.
Only Chloe remained silent, choosing not to take part in the public lynching by staring at the sky and apparently counting the clouds. Maybe if she acted spacey...he'd leave. Ideally before Jennifer really got riled up, she thrived on this type of petty drama.

Drake laughed at the verbal bashing the loud girls were giving Mark. "I told you, you dumb bastard!" he shouted at him. He then continued to talk with Theo. "So if they kill my roommate over there, I may have to find another." he said.

Yun finished her lunch and rolled her eyes at the "popular table." She definitely wouldn't need to use her powers to listen to their conversations. She stood up and threw away her trash, setting the tray on the counter. Now she just had to find out who her roommate was and plop down on a dorm bed to get some sleep. As she passed the table of girls, her eyes lingered on each one of them. She tried to print them into her memory so that in the future, she'd know to avoid them.

Calvin was surprised at how fast things were moving here. Obviously no one else was going to wait for someone to post. He noticed that Theo had returned, so he decided to attach himself to a familiar face. Waving hello, he watched the antics at the girl's table. "My God, I don't know what's more obnoxious, him or the girls." He said. The continuing antics of this little group was defiantly not helping his continuing to build migraine.

OOC: Lol, her roomie is in that group. DRAMA FTW
------
"Crashed and burned, he tried the whole 'I'm awesome, I know it, let's ditch your loser friends' angle. That's good to know though, that one chick is hot. Not the noisy one though...she's cute too, just too annoying. So you're rooming with that guy?" Theo blathered, his pace of speaking quick.

"Yeah I think the calm one's name is Chloe...she's pretty cute." he said quickly. "And that nosey one's just pretty much pissing everyone off so far." he laughed.

"I wonder if that's her power: the abilitiy to piss everyone off!" he teased, chuckling, before turning to Calvin, "Yeah, we were just talkin about them, Cal. This is Drake. Drake, Calvin. Anyways, I think the profs said they'd get us doing something soon, wonder what it is."

Almost as if on cue a familiar voice chimed in the heads of the Theo and the other students, it was the same women as before her voice although only in their minds displayed something close to giddiness.
'All students listening in to this announcement are asked to make their way over to the campus courtyard for a school yard for special announcements. Once again, that's group A to the courtyard for a special announcement and activity.'
"Special announcement? Activity?" Robbie questioned out-loud as he slowly increased his size back to normal going from standing to sitting on the cafeteria table. As he slid off the table he wondered just want the teachers would want to talk about now.

Mark stared at each girl, "The nerve of that bastard!" He chimed in between the clucks of two of the entourage and then blinked a few times. Right, they were bashing him already. He smiled at Chloe and threw a thumbs up at the rest of the girls, "It was nice getting to see you all again,"
"Have a great first day, trust funds," Mark waved before he left the table. It was clear by everyone's looks and murmurs that he was supposed to feel like crap for getting shot down. Quite the opposite: he now knew none of them were psychics, which meant conning the trust funds would be that much easier and less of a hassle.
Mark made his way back to the courtyard with a blank look.

"If that chicks voice can talk in our heads, can she read our thoughts and stuff? Aww, I hope not, cause I definitely thought things about the hot prof who was in here before, the asian one, that would get me in trouble." he said with an expression of concern, looking around as if she would be nearby, "But I was gettin bored with this scene anyways. C'mon guys."
He gestured for Calvin and Drake to follow him to the courtyard, curiously eying the young boy who had just appeared on a nearby table.

Fayth quickly exited out from the auditorium, suddenly finding herself in some sort of courtyard-like area with lots of trees, benches, and flowers and such. It seemed like the kind of place that would be popular to just sit around and relax in, but because everyone had only just gotten here and needed to get situated and get food and stuff, the place seemed to be empty.
She slowed her pace down, looking around at the pleasant surroundings before deciding to settle down on a bench near the middle of the area. She let a quiet sigh escape her lips as she leaned forward on her elbow, gazing out towards 1 particular tree that caught her eye for some reason.
Fayth had been doing this a lot lately; just sitting alone, thinking. It seemed like lately, even more than usual she couldn't help but think back on her life before she discovered her powers. She had laid awake for hours on end thinking about these things, unable to sleep because she would be so wrapped up in her thoughts. To be honest, she really didn't like this place, or the life that she had been forced into and would do anything to go back to her old family, her friends, and all the rest of the things she had lost the second she destroyed her wall that one day.
Tears started to well up in the girls eyes, a tear or two cascading down her cheeks and falling to the earth. Her hands came up to her face, covering it as she started sobbing, unable to control herself anymore.

"Haha, you and I both buddy." Drake said following Theo. As they past by Chloe's table he laughed at the fact Mark tried to sit there and got bashed. "Something tells me Mark's going to get his ass kicked..."

"Better him than me," Theo observev, running a hand through his blond hair.
They were in the courtyard pretty soon. A pretty good pace on he unfamiliar grounds. Theo was hoping all the professors would be there, and he could learn more about them.
