Connor hadn't realised that them dancing would constitute them as a couple. He stopped, looking up at the woman doing the announcement, completely shocked. He didn't know what to do. He had stopped dancing, but still had his hands on Kijanis waist and shoulder how she had placed them.when the spotloght came on them, and the girls approached, he frooze. He felt like bolting. This was way too much attention then he wanted at the moment. he thought to himself, He let his handz fall, but grabbed one of Kijani's. This stopped him from botling. He accepted the crown, trying to ignore how his hands shook. He turned to kijani, slightly wide eyed. It was clear he was close to freaking out.

Kijani was just as surprised as Connor, but much less scared. As the crown was placed on her head, she smiled, and subtly squeezed Connor's hand. She could feel him shaking, and realized that this was probably all very new for him. "Breathe. I already told you we were the best-dressed people here." Her smile widened into a sweet grin. "Now everyone else gets to see it." She turned to the crowd and waved brightly. "Thanks guys!" She wasn't even aware that she and Connor were a couple, but at least people thought they looked good together. That was something. She started to dance to the music, trying to get Connor moving too. "It's just proof they've got good taste."

Devika grinned, chuckling. "Okay, you got me. Journey I know, though." She lifted her voice a bit. "Aaanyway you want it, that's the way you need it-" She was slightly out of tune, but at least she had the words. "I was never that great at singing." She beamed at him, revealing dimples in her cheeks.

Connor heard an "atta boy, Stark!" Recognised the voice as Ben's, a whoop that he knew came from Austin. He searched for familiar voices, rather than the whole crowd. Kijani's was of course strongest and loudest, given she was right next to him.

So he he breathed in and out slowly. His shaking stopped, but he still didn't like the attention. But he very well couldn't flee, now could he? So he took comfort im the fact that Kijani's hand was in his.

"Yeau, but I am only dressed like this because of Anthony" he heard himself say, "so technically, I owe him more now"

When she started to dance, he tried to copy her and probably failes miserably.

(Damn right.)

Ben smiles, "While I find your telepathy interesting, a few of the other students don't. If you could learn to speak audibly, they might be more willing to accept you."

John laughs, "You're better than me." He leans back, looking at the stars for a few minutes. He then asks, "How did you hear about the Academy?"

[twave]

Nodding Estella couldn't help but agree with Ben's statement. Somehow she was going to manage to speak, now that she knew she could. I agree. That will be great. To some extent she was disappointed that some people didn't like her telepathy. But she did want to fit in. She was the stranger here.

[knight125]

As the night wears on, Ben can't help but feel exhausted. He covers his mouth with his hand as he yawns, then asks Estella, "What are you doing after the dance?"

"I dont think anyone nere isnt odd, Zack, and Griffin" kalinda addresed them both, even if she wasn't speaking to both of them at the same time. Kt seemed polite. "And I don't think the other students deliberately seem to avoid newer students. I think its just that they have been here over five months, have made bonds. We are gate crasherss it seems, so we just have to work that much harder to become friends with any of them"Kalinda paused, thinking. She was a very observant person, when she wanted to be. She shrugged, "or then again maybe we are just the oddballs"

"You are the first to ever address both of us. Even our parents only address the one in charge. Awe yes teenage chiche. If you don't belong to a group it is virtually impossible to join one. Which is hardly fair to late arrivals, like ourselves." Zack shook his head. "How does one make friends when one gets ignored or avoided for not being part of the group?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"It seemed polite" kalinda said with a shrug, "you are two different...personalities, see and hear and think what each other does, rigjt? So just because only one of you speaks doesn't mean people can ignore the other"

She shrugged again, "one brings attention to one self and make people see them"

"Most of the time we share experiences but not always. Getting attention isn't easy. We have approached several people since our arrival, but so far only a few people have acknowledge us. We have no desire to be the most popular person. But it would be nice to have a few friends to spend time with. I guess we will have to keep trying." Zack said with a sigh. He had no idea that meeting people was so hard. Griffin growled We do not need other people we have each other.

[MarshiestMallow]

"The students here are use to weird things" kalinda said, "but when Devika made Mimic cry, people noticed, even if they did nothing about it." She shrugged, rubbing ner hands together, "so do something big. Or just go up to people, interrupt and say "hi" that might work"

she smiled, "although I have been ignired everytime so what do I know?"

[KatherinWinter]

Zack laughed. "When we arrived we flew overhead in our yeti form. Then when that got little results we decided to fly at people. We have approached people with hello. I don't think attempts big or small will make a difference. Our place in this school is set. I guess that's what happens when one is late. Any way what do you think of school?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda thtought for a moment, and then shrugged, "it isn't what I thout it would be, to be honest. I thought they would actually train us in our powers, I stead of just shoving us in a group and expecting us to figure it out. I mean, if I could, dont they think I would have already?"

[Klyix]

Kat had quickly found a dive bar and made her way inside. At first she had obviously stood out – her attire not helping much – but this was hardly an unfamiliar situation and she soon had turned the public opinion around. Maybe unsurprisingly it was always the wrong kind of people that it was easiest for her to spend time around. Of course the drink helped too.

After a couple of hours and too much alcohol she stepped outside, relishing the cool air. Taking a quick damage control she weighed up her options. She could hardly get herself back to her house, teleporting across the globe right now was clearly a disaster, and she definitely couldn't head back to the academy. With her options limited she took one last breath of the crisp winter air and headed back inside.

[KatherinWinter]

"Griffin attended a class where students were working on their abilities. You must have missed it because you arrived later in the day. We have little problems with our abilities. We are looking to discover who and what we will be and to be exposed to others like us." Zack explained.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda frowned, "others?" She asked curiously, glancing at them

[KatherinWinter]

"Sorry what I mean is that our mother thought we need to meet people our age and to make friends. She has told us that her friends have helped her survive many things. Father hoped being here would help us find a place that we fit in. After all we shouldn't stand out too much in a school for unusually kids." Zack explained. "So far all we have accomplished is confusing ourselves and upsetting other students."

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda stopped walking, thinking, "this place is confusing" she said, "you haven't upset me, but hey, I can run of screaming and crying if that will help to maintain that imagine" she smiled at herself, then said, "so etimes it better to stand out"

[KatherinWinter]

"Griffin would love that. He think we are fine as we are. I, on the other hand, am not sure what image I want. You are an odd person. Maybe it is because you feel emotions and know that we mean no harm." Zack suggested.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda didn't know, so she glanced away "or maybe its because I know what it is like to be ignored" shenlooked up at the sky, "I should head to my dorm. Kts been nice talking"

"Well, if Anthony comes looking for payment, you tell him I'm covering your 'debt'." They danced for a while longer. "Whew... You wanna take a break, get some punch?" She grinned at Connor, figuring he probably needed a little time to recharge.

Devika looked up as well, leaning back against the lawn chair. It was a lovely night. "Well, my parents know a lot of people, and those people know people... they've taken some very interesting cases, so I guess they had ties to the super community before I was even part of the family. When I mentioned my powers were getting the better of me, they asked around for solutions. Someone must have mentioned the Academy, so..." She shrugged slightly. "Here I am."
