Ben lowers his gaze and shakes his head vigorously as he replies, "No! No, I'm not jealous..." He looks back up at Kalinda, trying to figure out it she was lying about the slap. After a moment, he asks, "He didn't just try, did he?"

Anthony's eyes return to brown as he answers, "Since I got a strike, it's your turn now. There are a total of ten frames, so we each go nine more times." He then signs, "Is this your first time bowling?"

John nods, "Go right ahead. I've never been very good at bowling, it's sort of like dodgeball for me. I have plenty of power, but not very much accuracy when throwing things."

Devika nodded. "Maybe I can help you work on that." She aimed, exhaled slow, and moved forward, letting the ball fly from her fingertips at just the right moment. It barrelled down the alleyway and crashed into the pins, scoring her a solid strike. "Whoo!" She let out an excited little cheer. "Awesome."

[knight125]

John sets the pins back up quickly, then gives Devika a high five as he passes her. "Nice!" he says with a smile. He picks up a bowling ball, takes a deep breath, then sends the ball hurtling towards the pins. He knocks down all the pins except the 4,6, and 7 pins.

"Lying to an empath. Its either jealous or rage, which can amount to the same thing, in any case" Kalinda said, she had never had anyone feel either of those things over her. Weird. "Fine, he kissed me and I slapped him" She took up form again, "so, if you are going to stick with lying over emotions, then why do you care?"

[knight125]

Ben sighs, "I'm sorry, it isn't my business." He stands to the side to allow her to bowl. "Why the hell do I care? It's not like she's my girlfriend, she's just someone I someone I just met."

[MarshiestMallow]

Somehow, Kalina always managed to say the wrong thing. She took her shot, getting a strike without even trying, "I don't mind" She said, choosing her words carefully, "Its nice having someone pry in my business. Means I actually have some"

"Not bad!" Devika grinned as she reset the pins, and then she grabbed her ball. She exhaled, aimed, and let fly. The ball careened down the path and struck 9 out of 10 pins, leaving the 10th in the corner wobbling precariously. "Awww, man." She shook her head, but was laughing. "Almost got it." She paused, thinking a bit. "Hey, John- let me help you with your next bowl, okay? I have an idea."

[knight125]

John shrugs, "Sure, it couldn't hurt. Are you going to go for the last pin?"

Ben, resilient as ever, replies cheekily, "Your business isn't the only thing I'd like to pry into. Nice shot, by the way." He picks the pins up, then prepares to take his turn. "Have you chosen all of your classes yet?" he asks.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda laughed, heading back down, "Ah, Ben. You can try to pry, but I can't be reasonable for my actions" she retrived her ball, then stood by the pins, "Uh, Kraven's class is interestng. Thats pretty much it"

Sue

”Not really. I’m just not that into it. Alright, move aside, scrub.” She smiled mischievously and rolled her bowling ball again.

Sue and Anthony took their turns with their runs. Sue had her misses, and only managed two more spares in her ten rounds, and sometimes downright missing completely: her score was a measly 90. Anthony on the other hand was a natural, Sue thought, damn well scoring above 200 points, with a good streak of strikes. Sue held her hands up for a double-highfive at the end of their rounds.

”I don’t know what it is, but your eyes turn grey every time it’s your turn. Or is it just the angle, from you being so tall?”

John shrugs, "Sure, it couldn't hurt. Are you going to go for the last pin?"

"I am." She went and rescued her ball, strolling back and taking careful aim. She had to position herself a little differently, but with careful angling, she did manage to knock down the final pin. "Yes! Two for two... You're up, Johnnie boy."

[knight125]

John nods and after he resets the pins, grabs his ball and asks Devika, "Alright, how did you want to help me?"

Anthony frowns slightly as he replies, "I don't know. There's a possibility that I may, in fact, have a super power. I'd rather not talk about it though." After he returns both his and Sue's bowling balls, he asks her, "Did you not sleep well last night? You seemed awfully tired before class started."

Ben nods, "He's probably my favorite teacher, which would piss off my dad if he knew. Who do you think you'd like to spar with for Power Development class?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"I don't know how to fight well, so anyone could probably beat me Kalinda said, sighing, "And I don't know everyone, and their abilities, so I don't know who I'd like to spar with"

[Avanhelsing]

Jack looked at her. "You go first. I'm terrible at bowling. "He said laughing.

[knight125]

Ben bowls, getting his first strike, then asks, "Couldn't you just jump from shadow to shadow, punching them whenever their back is turned?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"I could, but if slapping John is any indication, my hits aren't that great" Kalinda said, "I'm weak physically, unless it involves a point system like with Fencing, I doubt I will do well" She smiled, setting up the pins, "Nice strike"

John nods and after he resets the pins, grabs his ball and asks Devika, "Alright, how did you want to help me?"

Devika thought hard about how to explain what to do. "Well, I noticed you're a bit heavy handed. I mean, I guess you're used to it. But sometimes you need a precise touch." She gently arranged his hands over the ball, so they were barely holding on. Devika was holding her breath while she did so, making sure she wasn't transferring emotions to John, though it was impossible for her to stop completely. He'd probably absorb her nervous excitement, which was the emotion at the forefront of her mind. "Okay." She directed him toward the pins. "Toss it like... like you're trying to land a frisbee on a target." She left him and took up a position behind the pins.

Sue

”I slept when I finished with Iron Fist, and I slept even more after homework. I overslept and now I’m just fatigued. Crazy how sleep works, huh? So your eyes’ turning grey makes you really good at bowling? Walk with me.” she walked back to the bleachers, and sat, legs together in front of her, intending to stretch and fold herself, chest to thighs.

”Help me stretch and push me down, please? You can talk vocally.” she stuck her tongue out, a raspberry to tease Anthony.

[knight125]

Ben nods, "Thanks," he says while thinking, "I should have known it was John. He's constantly hanging around the fitness room." He trades spots with Kalinda and says, "I don't know who I'd want to spar either. I guess I'll just ask for a volunteer."

Though normally calm while in much racier situations, John's heart starts beating faster as Devika's hand grasps his own. After Devika withdraws her hand, having placed John's hand properly, his heart regains its natural rhythm. He obeys her instructions, and the speeding ball sends the ten pins flying in every direction.

Anthony follows Sue to the bleachers and sits behind her. Unsure of why exactly she wants to stretch, Anthony helps anyway. He places his hands on her back and pushes down slowly, rubbing her back gently simultaneously.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda went up for a shot, but distracted, only managed to knock 9 out of the 10 pins in both shots. "Well, that might just be what I'll do too" She said, although she knew she didn't want to fight Zack and Griffin
