Lian stood looking up at the Academy. She frowned, crinkling her brow. She hated being the new girl. She hated not knowing anyone, especially in a school. There was the added stress of getting to know the teachers as well as the pupils. What was worse, she was a mutant. Not that it bothered her overly, just that it was yet another thing she had to get used to in a strange place. She missed her own bedroom, her own friends and her surfboard. She flicked her dark hair back over her shoulder and waited to see what she was expected to do.

Heather was infuriated with Haven. She was trying to be her friend and all Haven could do, with exceptance of her forcefield, was push her away. She was going to head to her room, but decided against it. The best way to cool off from being upset, is to take a walk and get some fresh air. She always told herself this and it always worked. She walked out of the entrance to the Academy and saw a timid looking girl looking back at her. Heather felt her anger ease and winced at to the girl with little effort to look cheerful. She had never seen the girl before and only assumed she was new. Not truly caring one way or the other, she sat at a bench next to the steps of the vast building behind her. She passed her hands through her hair, further calming her down. She looked to the girl again, feeling guilty she wasn't more welcoming.
She sighed, looked at her feet and then stood up. "Are you new?" she asked with a tang of annoyance in her voice. Heather unfortunately, didn't notice it.

'Yeah, I just came today' Lian replied, 'I just feel a bit out of my depth at the moment' She smiled at the girl. 'What's your name?' she asked, 'Mine's Lian, Lian Au-Yong' She paused, 'Or I guess, Ripple. That's my code name' She gave both names, not knowing whether she was supposed to tell people her real name or her code-name. 'Are you ok?' she asked; the girl seemed a little annoyed.

Heather breathed in, hoping this new girl was someone she could at least be acquaintances with if not friends. She was tired of being in a new place with no one she could call a friend. That was one of the worst things to happen to a person in life: grow up with no friends.
As Heather walked over to the girl, who introduced herself as Lian, she gave her a small smile. "Yeah I'm fine thanks." She wasn't really but after she said it hoping the girl would drop the subject, she felt the last feelings of anger evaporate. Haven was just a hot head...but if she didn't be careful, it could truly affect her life.
Heather stroke hair with her hands and sighed again. "I'm sorry, my name is Heather. You can call me Aqua." She reached her hand out for Lian to shake. "So why are you called 'Ripple'?" she asked kindly.

Dragging her suitcase and a small duffle behind her Haven stomped out the front of the mansion past the two girls a s they talked and didn't even say a word. She headed off out the front gate glancing up quickly at the Phoenix memorial statue as she passed by it. She kept on walking at a good pace and didn't look back until she was far enough away to be sure nobody was following her.
When she was about half a mile down the road and heading to town she finally needed to hear a voice."This whole life sucks." she said to a squirrel who skittered up a tree, not caring if he understood her or not, just talking for the hell of it. "I wish I really was dead...." Haven kept walking.

Heather ignored Haven as she walked down the steps dramatically. Heather rolled her eyes and looked back to Lian, waiting to hear her answer to her question. Heather couldn't help but feel her anger return to her. What is her problem, she asked herself. She really is a drama queen. Heather didn't understand how the whole thing became so difficult in the first place. Haven couldn't control her powers which was understandable. But what she did at the table, which made Ms. Frost upset, Heather couldn't blame her for. It didn't seem as if Haven was brought up with any manners. Not that she thought Haven was a bad person. She was probably just confused.
She shook her head and rolled her eyes again as Haven wished death upon herself. "I thought I left drama in my old high school," she whispered to Lian.

And once again he had popped into another group. Hearing Aqua talk about drama he chuckled and spoke from rigth behind her. "Yea in my school I was the drama. Ofcourse it was just from all the attention I had." Grinning and walking around to see the new girl.
Looking at Ripple he smiled and ran his hand through his hair. "Well hello there. Nice to mmet you. Im Jumper." HOldin gout his hand to her. He looked like your typical highschool jock, but he had an amazing smile. "You must be one of us newbies here."

Heather couldn't help but smile and jerk a bit when Jumper came into the picture. "Hey Jumper," she replied. "Yeah I can't really stand drama for a second." She looked to Ripple and smiled. "Jumper here is our telaport man."
She looked back to Jumper. "So what is new with you?" She brought a strand of her hair behind her ear after the light wind surrounding them, blew it in her face.

Turning to look at Aqua with the now familiar smile on his lips. "Well it seems I have left another broken heart to the streets. " Looking ot where Haven went. "How far do you think she will get?"
Once more looking to the two girls now he grinned wide. "So which one of you girls is next eh?" He couldnt help but laugh at himself. As he flexed over dramatically.

Heather looked to Haven as she walked away. She shook her head and rolled her eyes. "I don't really know, and frankly I don't care." She crossed her arms and shifted her weight. "She likes to draw people away when they are helping her." Heather winced slightly when Jumper asked his question.
"So far I don't have an opinion on this place yet." Again, the wind blew her long ginger hair into her face. She held her hair back with her hands, wishing she had a hair band. She then remembered she did on her left wrist. Laughing at herself, Heather tied her hair back in a ponytail carefully, not to allow any loose strands to escape.

Lian smiled as the boy called Jumper ran his hands through his hair, smiled charismatically at her adn flexed his muscles. 'Jumper, huh?' Lian said. She shook the offered hand. She thought he looked like someone she would have to work hard to get to like. She didn't quite understand the whole exchange, but that probably came from being new and not knowing people yet. She smiled at Aqua and Jumper. 'Umm, maybe you guys could help me?' She asked, 'I don't really know where I have to go, or what I should do or anything' Then, she remembered she also had some questions to answer. She turned to Aqua and said, 'My power is molecular telekenisis. I can, like, go through stuff. Like moving through water. Thats why I'm called Ripple' She paused a second and looked after the girl who had stormed past. 'Umm, is she ok?' Lian asked, 'She seems a little...' She pulled a face to show she what she meant.

Heather let out a soft grunt as Lian asked about Haven. She looked to where Haven was and then to Jumper. She sighed, looked to Ripple and shook her head. "I don't know what her problem is really," she said honestly. "I guess the best thing is for her to cool off and just let her go. I'm sure she will be back."
The truth is however, Heather wasn't sure. Haven seemed like the type of person who would could be on her own. Independant was the word. However there was something in Haven, Heather was sure of, that made her need to have a home and family.
She brought herself back from her thoughts. "Water huh? That is pretty cool. That is what my power is...controling water I mean." She smiled proudly.

'Awesome' Lian replied, 'That must be pretty useful. Do I get a demonstration?' Lian smiled. She thought Aqua seemed the sort of person she could get along very well with. She hoped she would be able to make as many friends here as she had had back in California.

Aqua's smile faded. "Well that is my problem," she said sadly. "So far, I don't even know what causes it or how to control it. It just...happens." She looked down at her feet, feeling embarassed. It really sucked that everyone else but her, was able to summon their powers. She was still at the basics. Great,, she thought. Can I be even more of a loser?
She looked up to Ripple. "Well Ms. Frost told me that when I finally get it, I can be pretty powerful if I concentrate hard enough." She winced hoping her loser status decreased.
