Dammit, how stupid can you get. “Please excuse me for a moment,” she smiled sweetly,
”I need to deal with a small child.” Standing up, Paulina turned around and planted herself directly in front of the blonde boy who had spoken, nearly nose to nose with him as she looked at him like a mother looking at a small child who had broken something.
”I don’t recognize you, so you must be a freshman,” she hissed,
”So I will forgive you just this once. But if you ever” she leveled her finger at him,
”threaten someone like that again, I will not hesitate to report you to the faculty AND find a way to lock down your power completely. I can do it too, it wouldn’t be that hard. This entire situation was an accident. He acted out of anger, and I’ve forgiven him. YOU, however, have made a deliberate choice to antagonize him when the situation was already resolved, so as far as I am concerned, YOU are worse than HIM. Just because you have powers doesn’t mean that you get to dole out “justice” wherever you see fit. So don’t. Be. Stupid.”Having said her piece, she sighed and pressed the fingers and thumb of one hand to her temples.
”Ash, it’s fine. I’m okay, so please don’t threaten him, it doesn’t help things. Please?” Paulina raised her hands, speaking louder so that the entire group could hear her.
”Come on guys, it’s a new year! Let’s not start things off by being unpleasant, so break it up. Now, I think I recall hearing that there is food in there, and I’m starving.”Bending over Adrian, she helped him to his feet, ignoring the sharp chill in his hand.
”Tell you what. When I’m not in classes, I’m usually either in my dorm or in the library. Drop by any time, my door’s always open.” She paused for a moment.
”Unless I’m sleeping. Then please knock first. But other than that, we’ll see what we can sort out for you, okay?” Leaning in closer, she let her voice drop to a whisper.
”As for the other stuff, if you ever want to talk, that works too.” Giving Adrian one last smile, she drew away and proceeded to practically drag Ashleigh and Vedika into the gym by their arms.
”Thank you, guys, for trying to help back there.”
