The shadows receded to their proper places and Kelsey felt vaguely dissatisfied. Sure, the fire had been put out and it looked pretty impressive (at least to her), but... that hadn't really been much, now that she thought about it. The explosions and fire had been dangerous, but the amount of destruction they could cause was amazing as they burnt through walls and scorched metal. She didn't think her shadows could do anything like that. Part of her wanted to get started on trying anyway, but really, she was much more curious about what she'd seen a few seconds earlier. The girl had been too calm. She'd walked with far too much confidence even for an action-movie star, and they didn't even exist in real life. It was almost as though she knew exactly where the fire would be and simply stepped out of the way... Could that girl have *controlled* it? Anything seemed possible after what Kelsey had seen today. After all, she already knew for a fact that she wasn't the only one who could do these kinds of things. Why not one more? With those thoughts in mind, she crossed to the door the girl had gone through in a few quick strides. Luckily for her it was unlocked and she flung it open, peering inside. The girl was standing at a counter piled with most of the contents of the nearby fridge, shoveling food in her mouth like she hadn't eaten in weeks. She held a phone in her free hand and was staring at it as though willing someone on the other end to pick up. Two years ago a few of the stoners at her school had invited themselves to Laura's birthday party for no obvious reason besides being high and afflicted with a severe case of the munchies. They'd polished off several trays of finger food and started on the birthday cake before she and Nicolette managed to get rid of them. Kelsey had wondered how they managed to eat so much, but now it looked like they had a contender. The act was almost second nature to her at this point. "Oh my *god!*" she yelled. "Weren't you in that explosion earlier? Are you sure you're okay?" She looked fine as far as Kelsey could tell, but it didn't hurt to make sure and it was a reasonable response to what she'd just seen. At the same time, she felt outwards for the nearest patches of shadow; there'd been far too many explosions today already.

Nicole pulled out her phone as she strutted rather hastily down the corridor. Even though seconds early she was feeling exhausted and sore that wasn't the case anymore. It had kicked in and she was feeling like she was on top of the world. [I]Queen Bee.[/I] As her fingers vigorously tapped away on the screen her heart rate seemed to suddenly increase as she became more focused and alert. [I]Hey Floyd, are you free to catch up? I need to borrow that accounting book of yours, if you still have it. Cheers Nicole.[/I] After repeating the message in her head half a dozen times she finally hit the send button. [I]Hopefully he isn't too blazed and can read between the lines.[/I] She stuffed her phone back in her bag and proceeded on her way. Floyd's whole day had been insane. He was thinking about everything as he was walking. Running into the guy with the smoke powers who just happened to be the person who bought weed from him yesterday. Then there was that girl from earlier who zoned out he got some type of vibe from her that made her different but didn't know if he could attribute that to powers. "Whatever..at least I have money..Mike's not gonna believe this shit there's probably a couple more or even hella more people that can do shit like us." He was counting some money in his hand, making sure Matt had payed him everything for the xanax bars he'd just sold. He put his key in the door and let himself into the room. He went to his side of the room to stash the drugs putting away the sheet of LSD and bag of xanax but taking out some of those and putting them in a smaller bag that he then placed in his pocket just in case he ran into people who wanted to buy some at a party or he wanted some for when the ecstasy wore off. [i]Hmmm...soo super powers, lots of drugs, parties..gotta see my options might pregame with Matt, Tim, and Chris plus if he wants a quarter I can sell that to him haha im so fucking high this is insane. [/i] He was contemplating what to do next while rapidly pacing around his room occasionally feeling his racing heart beat. Suddenly his phone buzzed and he went over to his desk to see who was hitting him up. He grinned as he read the text seeing who texted him. "Nikki oh shit I didn't finish her fake I was too drunk yesterday" He quickly responding. [i]Yeah got nothing but time right now lol you can come borrow it :)[/i] Within what felt like seconds of putting her phone away she pulled it back out as she heard it buzz and beep in her bag from receiving a message. [i]Please be Floyd.[/i] Although she was feeling absolutely amazing right now as she strutted though the corridor like she owned the place she knew it wouldn't last forever. She would crash eventually and most likely pretty hard seeing as she was interrupted from sleeping off that hangover from all the alcohol last night. She wasn't ready to crash as least not yet and yeah sure she had a few spares but she knew they wouldn't last long. Nicole wanted to stock up because their next edition would be released soon which means multiple all nighters. There is no such thing as sleep in the journalism industry. Her face instantly lit up as she quickly read the message. [i]Cool. Be at yours in like 15.[/i] She hit reply before pivoting on the balls off her feet as she changed direction and headed back the way she had come from. Nicole has spent enough time on the university grounds to know where all the shortcuts were especially those that led to the dorm rooms. After all that where all the juicy gossip is at. Nicole stopped a metre or so away from Floyd's room as she tried to make herself look at little more presentable. She attempted to flatten her hair by brushing her fingers through it but it seemed to only create more knots than loosen the ones she already had. She then tugged at the bottom of her dress to try and cover more off her upper legs but she just ended up pulling it too far down causing her assets to pop out the top. "Fuck it..." Nicole chuckled to herself with amusement. [i]Maybe I'll get a discount.[/i] She adjusted her outfit one last time to even out the coverage on top and bottom before stepping towards the door and knocking. Floyd smiled when he got the text and just responded with one word. [i]ite[/i] He was already going through his texts to see who wanted what and went to his stash of weed and grabbed some bags. With his phone’s help he began bagging up some marijuana for his customers.[i] Ite…Gucci Chris wants that quarter for $70. Katelyn and her roommate wants a gram and Cam wants that 8th for 35. Bet. [i/] He had all the orders packaged up in no time, and got some for himself as well. He went over to his drawer to open up to get out the box of rello’s and took out a pack. Right as he was sitting down and starting to break open the blunts he heard knocking. [i] Oooh nikki’s probably here [/i] Floyd went to the door and opened it up smiling as he saw who it was. [i]Damnnnn she has some nice titties, really nice everything. [/i] “Ayyy wassup Nikki.” He smiled letting the beautiful foreign student in before closing and locking the door. He went back down to where he was sitting and started packing weed into the first blunt he opened. “ite you need some addy?” He said stopping rolling to reach for his prescription bottle. “orrr…you tryna get some more fun party favors?” As soon as she stepped inside the skunky smell of his side business tickled her nostrils. [i]Mhmm..what have you got here?.[/i] Although it smelt a little pungent she rather enjoyed the smell, so much better than that musty stale smell of cigarettes. "Nothing too exciting. What's up with you? How is business going? Looks like you are being kept busy. Oh yes some addy would be great. Just the usual amount should do just fine. Unless you got heaps in stock than I'm happy to take more off your hands." Nicole joked. "Well I was mainly coming here for the addy and to see how my ID is coming along, but if you got something else I might be interested in...something new...some kind of special or discount your running I am more than happy to take a look at." She decided to take a seat on the couch as she appeared to be fidgeting and pacing around a little too much for her own likely. She kind of looked a bit like an addicted not being able to stand still for more than a second at a time. She couldn't help herself her heart appeared to be racing million miles an hour and there was no stopping it. Nicole crossed her legs and folded her arms across her chest as she tried her best to remain stationary as she waited for Floyd to get her stuff ready. Floyd wasn’t even paying much attention to the aroma of the room but he knew it had a hint of weed. Luckily he kept the rest of the weed he wasn’t currently rolling in the vacuum sized bags he intended to sell them in when he ran into the people he was selling them too. Euphoria soared through his whole body, boundless energy, his senses were all amplified especially touch and he had the urge to get with girls. This along with the way his powers had him feeling made him feel like Superman, a god among men. Everything was so much more intense like a constant rush that made life seem that much more fucking awesome right now. He turned to Nicole already attractive but now more so everything was more every sound was loud, everything was just more he felt like there was nothing else he wanted all he felt was amazing. . If he had to summarize what being on ecstacy felt like it would be this It's that quick feeling of relief and happiness you get when you finally find your car keys. For 4-6 hours. He had been caught up in his thoughts that he’d paused to respond to his foreign friend showing how blazed as shit he currently was. “Huh..haha..hahaha…I’ve been chillinggg and making money partying having loooots of fun. “He grinned but everything was hilarious. “ alright I gotchaa.” He popped open the bottle and poured out three pills. He wasn’t selling in large quantities to anyone since all he had to make money off was his own prescription until he found a plug on campus. He wasn’t too faded to notice that Nicole was on another level herself, she was already on what she wanted to buy. [i] haha she’s geeking lol im geeking even more tho[/i] “Hmm the fake won’t be ready till tomorrow but I do got something special and green. Yoou look like you need some to slooow down a bit enjoy life in HD definition it’s great.” He said grinning as he finished rolling the first blunt he rolled and already got to fidgeting with the weed breaking it down showing that he too was geeking. "That's not a problem I don't desperately need it right now anyway...thought I'll ask since I'm here so I could kill two birds with one stone." She couldn't help but notice that he was acting a little stranger than she was used to. Although his behaviour was odd it didn't surprise her. [i]What businessman doesn't try his own product?[/i] "HELL YEAH!" Nicole exclaimed as she leapt off the couch with excitement hearing him make a comment about some special green. "Let's light that shit up..." She suddenly she felt a child on Christmas morning. "I need to chill...let's chill...chill chill chill...haha" she laughed. Floyd found himself soo engaged in the conversation it felt like one of the most important discussions of his life. Her every word was adding significant value to her life, and she seemed so perfect flaws non existant. His heart was racing as he let the powerful drugs in his system magnify every aspect of his life. [i]wooow this weed is awesome..she’s awesome…this blunts gonna be awesome..cant smoke in here not awesome oh my god what if..we smoke and…she gets too high haha..or I get too high I’m soo high its like im up up oh shit im getting distracted.[/i] “Let’s get chilllll” He laughed as he went to work filling the cigarillo with potent herb before licking and rolling the second blunt up in record time. He grinned putting both now rolled blunts back in the cigarillo pack and resealing it to block the smell of the weed. He slipped the packet in his pocket and stood up quickly pacing around the room before getting his car keys. “Warning! We’re gonna get really high….I was thinking since we can’t smoke in here we can go hotbox my car, and we’ll get even higher. “He said with excitement as he hadn’t hotboxed yet today and it would be great to smoke with her. “Hotbox! Yes, yes, yes...let's do that and whilst we are doing that you can tell me what you got up to last night at the party." Even though she was having fun and her mind was racing like mad parts of it were still focused on her work. She couldn't help herself. She was a multitasking freak. The only problem she had with trying to do things at once now was that she might not remember later. Yeah sure she was completely focused on him and their surroundings right this moment in time however there is only such much information she could store in that head of hers. But that didn't stop her nothing seemed to stop her mouth from rambling on. "Did you get with any ladies?" She chuckled as she followed him out the door and in the direction of the car park."Oh you know what I heard this morning that there was an explosion in the car park? Did you hear about that? Did you see it? That would've been awesome to see...I wonder if the cops rocked up..." She mumbled the last part more to herself as she drifted off into her own little world. It wasn't long before her attention was back on Floyd as he stopped still in front of a black Toyota Corolla. "Is this your ride? Nice...how much? I really need to get a new car. It's such a piece of shit." Nicole seemed to be having diarrhoea of the mouth. Even when she got in the car she continued to ramble on about how she was looking for a new car to buy but it was too expensive. “Ayeee that sounds like the move and my story finna be on point aint NUN boring bout what happened last night” He said with a sense of settlement glad that the plan was under way. He was always down for a sesh with gorgeous Australian women and right now his head full of molly that was all enhanced. It was a pleasant surprise that Nicole was on his level or at least an equivalent. [i]The addy def hit her ass she talking fast as hell haha at least I can keep up for now. [/i] “Oooh damn I’mma have to plead the fifth but really why would I when I didn’t see the sexiest girl at the party sooo what were youuu doing last night hmmm” He made sure to slide that compliment in the convo while locking the door behind him and leading them to the parking lot. “Hell yeahhh!!! I was at that shit I pulled some girl and her brother out of one of the car’s that was on fire no flex zone.” Just remembering that his powers helped him save someone made him feel even better. This was probably going down on in his record of top 10 best days of his life and it was only halfway done. As soon as they got to the car he whipped out his keys and pressed unlock twice making sure all the doors open. “Hell yeahh and I got it on a deal my cousin helped me he was friends with car dealer got it for a smooth $7 grand. Aaand come on have you seen some of the shit people here are driving haha your car’s gotta be better than at LEAST half of them. He put the keys In the ignition and drove towards the back of the parking lot before putting the car in park. He reached for his phone and went to play a song making sure his phone was plugged into the aux. He went to his We get high playlist and scrolled down. “Okay…” He pressed on Curren$y ft Wiz Khalifa song Counting Money. “And now let’s go up up and away.” He took out the rello pack and took the blunts out. I’m counting money while my bitches sleep. [i]I’m counting money tell my niggas eat. I’m counting money while my bitches sleep. I’m counting money tell my nigga’s eat. Auh I was high..she was high..now a days we don’t even drive. She give me brain that’s a piece of mind..smoking..OG…high..[/i] He passed the blunt to Nicole and lit hers, then lit his. Then he leaned back in his chair and turned up the music as he inhaled the marijuana. “Ooooh yeahhh just ash in …..”He reached for an empty Lemonade bottle he had and took the cap off and ashed in it before hitting the blunt again. Ten minutes later the car was filled to the brink with marijuana smoke. So much smoke he could barely see the exotic girl next to him, and they were both in the middle of their blunts. “Wooooah…I’m sooooo awesome…”He began laughing heavily struggling to hit the blunt again and intentionally playfully blowing some smoke at Nikki’s face.” Hmmm……nothing can make this day better…..aah…well..maybe one thing..”Floyd paused bringing the blunt to his lips again to inhale another hit of the medication. “Let’s shot gun..” SHOTGUN!” Nicole cheered as she took another hit. However, this time she inhaled far more and as she pulled her lips away from the joint she made sure to keep her mouth shut nice and tight so the smoke couldn't escape. She smirked cheekily whilst leaning in towards Floyd. The pair pressed their lips together and simultaneously open their mouths to exchange the smoke. Nicole exhaled whilst Floyd inhaled. "Nice..." She chuckled with amusement as the pair continued to alternate. However, between some of the transfers there was a little more lip and even tongue action than was necessary. Although she was feeling pretty out of it by this point she was still very aware of what was going on. She could see his game plan and didn't mind playing along because she was eager to break the draught. But in the end she decided to keep it mostly PG, MA 15+ only because he was her dealer and she didn't want to sabotage that relationship. It's not that easy to find a dealer with quality shit and semi affordable prices. "No more..." She laughed as she just blew the smoke in his face before coughing a little. Nicole lowered her seat as she exhaled deeply and leaned back making herself more comfortable. “This is the life…” she mumbled. [i]No worries. No problems.[/i]. Her heart rated appeared to have slowed down slightly as she felt rather relaxed yet still focused on her surroundings. It wasn't long before her attention was drawn to one specific item, the lit interior light. One of them must have not shut the door correctly but that wasn’t the reason why she suddenly became fixated with it. It was strange, she couldn't seem to keep her eyes off it. Everything around her seemed to vanish and disappear into the background as she became mesmerised by this one small light. Her right arm slowly rose up from her side towards the ceiling of the car. All of the sudden the light surged from its plastic confinement towards her now outstretched index finger. Nicole's eyes widened in shock as she appeared to be absorbing the light. "Whoa..." She mumbled underneath her breath. It looked like something you would see on the television or at the movies. Before her mind could even comprehend what was happening she was interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. As her concentration and focus broke away from the interior lamp to her phone the light swiftly recoiled back to its container so to speak. Nicole shook the incident off as her attention was drawn to her phone. "Hello..." [i]Damn[/i] Before Floyd had any time to think something incredible happened. He hoped it was just the weed because if not…shit. [i]whatever[/i] He decided not to make a big deal of it after everything that happened today it was the least supernatural phenomenon. That and he figured he was really fucking high right now. No way light left from his car into her hands he was just faded. Before he could say anything else her phone went off and he decided to just hit the blunt again relaxing. Today was fucking awesome.
