Today was the day, the [i]memorial.[/i] The annual thing that has been made almost customary to join, even Gerard's parents who were usually permissive about almost anything made it mandatory to go to it. As his alarm's ring reverberated throughout the room, he opened his eyes and just stared up the ceiling, lost in his thoughts. . While everyone was sentimental and solemn, Gerard got that, he just never really knew these people who perished. He felt emphatic, sure, but the whole annual ordeal striked him as odd.

With a resounding and a few colorful words from his [i]lovely[/i] mother, he got up and took a quick and snappy shower. While washing his hair he was checking the news, he tuned into the network that the whole town watched and as expected it is about the memorial. Was Gerard the only one who thought it was odd, maybe he was the weird one. With a shrug, he put on the suit his mother had prepared. The tie was old but his suit hid it well enough.

As he walked out of the house, he told his parents that he would walk to the memorial instead of going with them- gives him time to think about the memorial and his powers. He had decided to stop by the town famous Simone's coffee. It was one of the few coffee shops in Verona so it was obviously popular by demand and less supply. As he entered, the familiar friendliness and warmth, instead replaced by a silent and solemn aura to it. He got up to the counter and ordered the usual, the warm cocoa topped with mini-marshmallows.

He noticed two people who he knew, Tess and Austin. He would have gone to say hey but it didn't take a genius to notice that they had a good atmosphere going so he decided against it. Instead finishing up his Cocoa in his table while thinking about things. The repercussions from gaining his powers had just hit him, it just felt so surreal, like a video game, but the dangers of them getting captured was real, this was all real. Gerard tried to take another sip, but noticed his cup was empty, and with another shrug, he got up  and when he passed by Tessa and Austin's table he shot Austin a sly wink that said [i][color=#81F7F3]Good goin' buddy[/color][/i], Gerard had heard Austin's awkward confession earlier and he almost choked on his drink because of it. He walked towards the door, and went outside, the cold, silent air hitting his face.

Gerard knew he was going to be late, but atleast he would attend. As soon as he entered the school, he quickly waddled towards the memorial site. It was almost full, only a few seats scattered here in there. He saw few of the people who were present in the Astronomy club- of course. He was going to say hey, but Jay was already surrounded so he decided against it. Gerard's head wasn't in the game today. He keeps remembering something, a repressed memory of some sort, but he thought nothing of it. He also saw Jade and flashed her a quick wave and walked towards a chair in the corner. He sat down and waited for the event to begin and end. He silently listened to Everett's speech, he also found that odd AND surprisingly intricate and well made.

Gerard clapped while sitting down, maybe others weren't.
