"Thanks," she replied, taking his hand with a bleak smile. She got up off of the ground and met eyes with him before deciding to tell him the truth. "The thing is, one of my neighbor's mother passed away. He's the type of person that never takes no for an answer, and I've learned to keep my distance from him. Well, I was rude to him moments before he told me what had happened, and of course I instantly felt like trash. I mean, what are the odds, right?" 

She remained quiet for a moment, picking up on the fact that this guy may not want to hear her sob story just as he's supposed to be on his way to meet his teacher. 

"But I don't want to bore you to death with the current drama in my life. I'm Madison, by the way," she held out a hand to introduce herself, "And yes, it's my first time in this school. I come equipped with only the basic skills so I have a lot to learn in the upcoming years." 

Madison snapped her fingers and a small, bright ball of fire appeared right above her palm, the wisp dancing into the air as it thinned out soon thereafter.

"Not very impressive, but I'm slowly progressing. I can do more, but who has the time now for show and tell," she added as she looked down the hall, wondering whether he wanted to go meet the others or was just stalling.
