Torri played with her scrambled eggs by mixing it with the maple syrup on her waffles. She wasn't exactly hungry but she was able to enjoy several bites of waffle before getting full. Lately she didn't feel at home per say. She was demoted from being an Acolyte, not something she was completely crazy about. But after hours of analysis, she couldn't blame them. She was a scaredy cat, a big one at that and couldn't help it. It was how she was. Of course she didn't want to be known throughout the high school kids as "The Baby", but she saw that it was too late. Ricki looked more animated than ever and she was fitting in with the Acolytes way more than before. Torri understood that it was because of her.
Taking a deep sigh, she looked to Karma and scratched her head. "I'm not hungry," she replied softly. But seeing that Karma wasn't going to let it go, she sighed again and continued to finish her once warm waffles. "Figne," she said with her mouth full. "Hapfy?" She couldn't help but giggle at how silly she sounded and swallowed the food as quick as possible. "Are we gonna have burgers and chicken?" she asked enthusiastically. The barbecue was going to be really fun and Torri was looking forward to it. It was a chance to be with her teammates and get to know them more. Granted she was the oldest one and felt out of place, but for now, being with the Alpha Squadron was best.

Alex arose that morning well rested. He was trying to go to bed early the night before but he was dragged to watch some black and white horror film. The main reason he went was to try and build better relations with everyone. He got to meet the newest member of his team. Her name was 'Pedigree' or something like that. Alex wasn't sure. It was late and he was tired. He fell asleep after the movie started and was awoken when it was time to go. That's when they found the blood. It had reminded Alex of that time he was in the gym when he found the blood trail. But this time there was not as much. He just went to bed and thought nothing of it.
Alex entered the cafeteria fully groomed with his hair tied back and in his working clothes. He was ready to finish up the stables today. He didn't want to spend a minute extra in that place then he needed to. He knew that there were four other people helping out. Three of which were on his team. He hoped that he will be able to show how helpful he was. His only worry was that he would be distracted by Ripple. Her playfulness was always infectious.
Alex got his cold cereal and a small plate of eggs and sausages. He looked around the Cafeteria to see where he could sit and he debated between a few places. At the end he decided to sit with the people he was with last night. He walked toward the table slowly making sure that he didn't spill anything.
"G'morning. How'd you guys sleep last night?" Alex said after sitting down and taking a spoonful of cereal. He looked around the cafeteria and noticed that a lot of people looked exhausted. looks like people had a crazy Friday night/Saturday morning. He heard whispers of a camping trip but cared naught for it. He wanted to be well rested for the next day.
"You ready for the stables Sean?" he asked knowing that he was going to spend the day cleaning the stables with him. He was hoping that he would know somethings about stable because all Alex knew was that there were for horses. That was it.

Ana sighed with and looked at Heather almost exasperated. "Yes of course I get information right, this is me of course. I may not speak English as great, but I understand every word," she said with a slight huff while pulling a strand of her coal black hair back. She liked knowing everything that went on in the school, and she was able to hear a good deal of it just by having a knack for being in the right place at the right time. "Decay said that she saw her walking back from the boys dorm when they were sneaking in, and there were drops of blood on the floor. Who else you think she would have gone to see? Most of the boys in our year are not her biggest fan yes?" Ana looked over at Kevin. "That is the expression yes?" She liked to make sure she got it right so it would help her speak English better, though she didn't think she'd ever get rid of her heavy accent.
She took a spoonful of her yogurt and ate it slowly and carefully. Ana was good at controlling what she ate, or controlling anything for that matter. She was very much in control of herself and knew how to keep things around her in control too, like always knowing what was going on in the school for one. It applied to her power as well, the control she had in wielding her telekinesis and what she did with it. "I cannot believe she could be so how you say naive..? To go for a man like him. Not only is he obviously not interested in her, but he far too good for a commoner like her," Ana said turning her nose up to the idea that someone in Frostbite's class could anywhere good enough for someone like Rumble for anything more than a toss in the sheets.
"I wonder if they will make her clean the little drops of blood in hallway? I really think they should, because that is disgusting. I knew she was a virgin, that was obvious, but to lose it to someone who thinks she is nothing but toy to play with is sad. I plan to save myself for right man, one that is worthy of it. But I guess for someone like her Rumble is more worthy, but still you would think to chose a guy that at least likes you yes?" She said peeling her banana and taking a small tentative bite, forcing herself to chew and swallow it carefully. Ana's dark blue eyes looked at her companions eagerly to hear their input, glancing at Kris with a small knowing smile. Her dear friend always had something to say about everything and anything.

Kevin sat stuned, pocking his fork at his food, his pretty plate in all of it's beauty was not even noticed by anyone. It was a little thing they did at the 'girly-girl table', to make their plates look fancy. Just for fun and for 'points' towards the game they all played with one aonther. they did'nt realy keep score, but they would say if something was worth points. His plate was seriusly adorible and woulda been worth points, but that was'nt why he was upset.
He was so totaly upset in his hearts of hearts he knew it was his fault. He had told her to go and find herself. He was the one that ended their friendship. He was the one that was jellous and he was the one that missed her. He felt so awful that he had just abiout pushed her into the arms of Rumble, and then a moment of clarity hit him as every one was talking about it.
His mind went back to the tennis match in gym class and how Loralie ran off. She left him. It was'nt his doing it to her at all, because she broutgh it on herself. The whole things realy was her fault. He lifted his head up. Nodded at the words that Veronika has daid to him. "I get that. Thanks Veronika. I was starting to think that it was my fault for a minute for telling her she had to find herself. I still feel kinda responsibel but only cause if I was around it might not have happened. I hope she's gonna be Ok."
She was hurt that much was sure. She was bleeding and he knew it had to be a lot for the drops going all the way back to the boys dorm from her room. He did'nt want her to have to clean it and he was done eating. He was put completeley off the food on his plate. The talking about it all was just too much for him to bear.
"Sorry, excuse me please. I'm not hungry anymore." He got up and just left his plate there. He did'nt think she had to clean it up, well mabey so, but if she was hurt to the points of bleeding then she probubly could'nt anyway. He left to go and clean up his friends blood, she did'nt need insult added on the injuries. She was lost in her own world and he knew when she found herself again she would apreciate it and he would'nt say a word about cleaning it to any one at all.

At the teacher's table Kurt was sitting and watching, as he often did, noting the interactions of his team most especially after the events of the previous night. "My za children seem unusually focused in zhere conversations zhis morning. Anyone hear vhat it is exactly zhey are saying. I heard somzhing about blood in zhe halls."
"Emma?" Nightcrawler looked her way. "I know you hate to pry, but I believe Frostbite vas mentioned by name und I am slightly concerned. Vould you mind please?" He tilted his head slightly and widened his eyes at the group of high schoolers and their discussion. He needed to know if anything more serious than what CEREBRA had scanned had developed with his new team member.
"As for you two, how did zhe movie night go?" Kurt asked of his fellow X-Men, Rogue and Beast. "A shame it had to start late, I beg your forgiveness on zhat my sister as I had to borrow Heir Doctor for only a moment. A good zhing too at zhat, as several of my team vere injured. Again mit zhe injuries Jump-ahh I vill never get used to it , FLEET a leg injury.. und Frostbite vith some damage to her ribs und internal organs. Zhey vere bozh told to take it easy for zhe night, but zhese children und a Friday night..Ahk! A foolish vaste of my breath I believe it vas now."
He shook his head as he looked over at the children. "I see Bobby has yet again sat viss your team members Piotr. Does he share viss you any observations? Or is he simply reliving his never ending childhood?" He grinned at Colossus, as well as at Kitty who he had always adored. The day was planned and he was excited for the afternoon. "Excited for zhe annual spring cookout Kitty?"
"I am hopefull zhe children will have zhere chores done in time for some fun by zhe early afternoon. Are you ready to bar-b-que for zhe whole school today Scott?" It was a tradition and Cyclops was one who did his best to uphold traditions. Kurt knew how much it meant to him.

"Okay, right, he's not here. I really can't see him. I'm sure i'm not that sleepy." Ricki muttered to herself, taking another sip of her coffee glancing around the table once more for some sign of Dante. I'll go check on him in a bit... or maybe I won't... he might think i'm stalking him or something... hmm, but i'm not... but he might think so... but he seemed quite chilled out last night... I don't think he minds me... but then again... I still can't figure out what goes on in his head...i mean for all i know i probably creeped him out last night... Ricki shuddered, then sighed, then turned her head to look at the other tables around in the room and caught a glimpse of Austin handing over some toy gun to Karma. "Oh wow, Sky, look - your brother was caught in possession of a toy gun." She nudged Sky under the the table, rolling her eyes and finishing off her coffee. She rubbed her eyes, trying her best not to get involved in the current conversation to do with Frostbite and Rumble. Eh, I think I will go check on Dante, he promised he'd teach me how to play poker! Oh yea... shame... forgot bout that... Eh, I hope he remembers it... hmm... yeah, i'm a genius. Let's get away from here."Uh, I'll see you guys in a bit," she said getting up from her seat and stretching her arms and legs quickly. "By the way Sky, you still owe me one pink and white sneaker."

"The movie was splendid last night wasn't it Rogue?" Hank McCoy said as he loaded his plate with some eggs and sausages. "The food I daresay was even better, and I am sure that John Wayne would forgive me for that observation had he tasted Rogue's cooking." He smiled at her as he prepped his breakfast the way he liked it. There time the previous night was quite pleasant and he did love their Friday nights together. Rogue needed some cheering up and he knew that she got lonely from time to time without her love. It was a dreadful lonely feeling and Hank knew it well enough to not want her to dwell in it. He did the best he could to be there for her as a friend and to help her feel that this place was her home whether everyone was here or not.
"I do say these sausages are delicious... oh and I could have told you that Kurt. Ms. Walker had some proud bruises to her as well, but I know as well as you that didn't stop her from causing any trouble," Hank looked over at Karma's table just in time too see the smaller Walker hand over a toy gun, looking very unhappy. "Oh my Stars and Garters there are two of them now. I feel we will never get a moments peace again," he jested with a smile.
Hank was unconcerned with the whisperings of the children, more so because it seemed that just about every other day there was one rumor or another starting, and eventually it all got back to him. If he didn't hear something from Niki, he'd hear it from Bobby. Hank had to smile when he looked over at his friend. He knew Bobby better than most people at the table, save for Scott, and knew how much he liked to spend time with the students personally. Hank had to agree with his method, that the students all needed one teacher they unanimously trusted and could always come to in need of problems. That and it also did them well to have someone with as much experience around as Bobby, for though he knew he liked all the students very much and was called a friend to many, he was also someone to guide them. Hank understood that about him, that it was much more than just not wanting to listen to stuffy 'adult' conversation, and he respected that immensely.

Gavin shrugged and patted Ian on the shoulder. "It'll be cool bro, you know how it is sometimes people gotta get through some really hard stuff to get to the good stuff," he said and had some more breakfast before it got cold. "And I ain't thrilled with her either Niki, I was the one who made comments about those lovely looks she would give you remember?" He rubbed the back of his neck and shrugged a little unsure of himself.
On one hand, he felt a bit bad for Frostbite, since she was still for the most part of the team, but with her attitude and the way she had been acting he couldn't help but think that she got what was coming to her. It was a really bad thing to think, but he had been the one to see how hard it was on Ian to deal with her, and frankly he just didn't like how he treated Niki. She was one of his closest friends and he was tired of people giving her crap. Granted, he hadn't been there at the time and couldn't hold any sort of grudge against Niki, but she made a mistake. Everyone was entitled to making mistakes and they can't hold it against them.
"Ahh I don't know, I'm just gonna stay outta it all. So what are ya'll up to after this? The days really nice, so I'm spending my day outside. Gonna grab my guitar and play some tunes or something," he said with a slight grin trying to steer the conversation away from something conflicting.

Sean greeted Alex with nothing more than a nod, since he knew from Lurai that the guy he didn't even apologize to her. If it hadn't been for Kate last night he would have been feeling rather cold. First and foremost, Sean was a true Southern gentleman and he couldn't on his good conscience look at a guy the same way after they hit a girl. Instead of dwelling on it though, he leaned over and kissed Kate on the cheek. "Ya are a hellova girl Katie girl, and a true little lady," he said beaming at her. Despite her dark appearance, he knew how sweet his little lady could be and he was proud to stand by her side.
"I sure can't wait to get to them stables today. I'm gonna fix 'em up just like I did at home, and make it all nice and cozy for them horses." Sean turned to the others at the table with an excited smile unlike any other he had in a long time. "I'm gonna talk to Ms. Kitty about signing on for stable duty. I'll wake up and exercise the horses every morning." He looked over at Kate and smiled big. "I'll teach ya to ride little lady. I know your a bit worried to get hurt, but I'll make sure you get a nice calm horse, and it'll be the safest thing for ya. I'll even ride with ya the first couple of time," Sean said reassuring with a look of promise on his face. He knew that Kate was scared a lot of the time with anything physical, but he had a feeling that she might just take to horses a bit better.
Sean pushed away his empty breakfast plate and put his arm around Kate. "I'm gonna personally pick ya out a good horse, and I think ya might like it a lot. Just give it a try and I'll be there with ya the whole time," he said with a beaming smile. He was anxious to get going to the stables and looked at his watch. "Well Katie girl, let me know when you're ready, I gotta go grab Jasper so he can help me set up, and bring him up at least a bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese. We're gonna need all the strength we can get. And I'll walk ya to the girl's dorms." Sean drank the last of his orange juice and set it on top of his plate, waiting patiently for Kate to finish.

"Ah freak," Lian said after getting up and serving herself coffee. She really didn't want to wait for Fleet to get it and she needed an excuse to get up and away from the consistent chatter at all the tables around her. "Please don't remind me about the stables Cowboy... please." She wasn't in the mood for Alex either and simply grunted a hello before finally getting to the serving table and getting her mug of coffee refilled. She had it black like she always did and even scooped up some french toast sticks to have something other than complete caffiene in her stomach.
Lian sat back down on her table and took a nice sip of her coffee before starting on her breakfast. She didn't want to fulfill her punishment today, especially since the barbecue would happen right after. She was tired of the stupid assignments from school and didn't see the point of classes, besides the one dealing with handling powers. Probably an excuse for all the teachers to be here, she shrugged and took a bite of her french toast. Finally feeling a bit better, Lian slowly composed herself from her hangover and started to find her way back into the current conversation amongst the students.
She giggled and held a large smile on her face. The current position that Lorelai put herself in was stupid in more ways than one. Of course seeing her last night with Sky and Ricki wasn't what she was expecting. But seeing the blood trail made her feel a bit grossed out in more ways than one. Now that the entire school new, Lian shook her head out of pity for the former Paragon. "Sooner or later," she said lowly so only the kids next to her could hear. "Frost and One Eye are gonna find out. I can't wait to see what happens then." She chuckled a dark laugh and then finished her coffee. It was going to be a long day.

Veronika's sweet face scrunched up a little as Kevin left, disappointed that this rumor had dampened her mood. "Oh Kevin... ugh yes Tia it seems your roommate made a mess of herself and ruining my breakfast," Veronika said with a roll of her eyes while daintily eating her cream of wheat. She grew tired of talking about Frostbite, for to her the girl was frivolous and a fake at every turn. Veronika may have the entire school fooled, but she at least knew who she really was and never denied it to herself. From the way that Frostbite kept switching her demeanor told Veronika that she would do anything to fit in, and it was simply not something that she could respect. As much as she hated that harlot and the albino tramp, she could respect them enough for being who they were and not apologizing for it.
Daintily as ever, she took a sip of her orange juice and looked back at the door where Kevin left with a pout, her pretty face looking disappointed that her friend left. "Oh pooh, now my mood is ruined. I just hope it improves for the barbecue later on. What do you say that we go to the recreation room after this and take over the TV? I hear there is a marathon of Extreme Makeover today. I do love shows that make abominations into acceptable beings of society. It is a pity it cannot be done for some here no?" A cute sweet giggle escaped Veronika, despite the not so sweet words.
Her sapphire blue eyes glanced over at Heather. "Or do you have plans with a certain winged Rockstar? Going to have him serenade you with that heavenly voice of his?" she asked with a raised eyebrow at her friend. She did not truly think that Gavin was good enough for her best friend, but she figured the girl ought to have some fun before she settled for someone more her class.

Heather blushed and shook her head. She and Gavin didn't really make plans but he did tell her he was going to jam a bit outside like he usually did. Heather just thought about doing some sketches of the mansion and it's surrounding landscape. Her muse for new clothing designs had been at an all time low for the past several days. Several ideas had popped into her head to continue her line Junction, but it wasn't like she was striving to be a designer at this moment in her life. Major decisions and consequences needed to be made and occur for the water girl and she was ready to make them.
Finishing her food, Heather promised herself to go look for Lorelai before she headed out to enjoy her day. Some time with Gavin would be enjoyable, however she also understood the desire for solitude during the process of art. She didn't mind being on her own for the morning before the barbecue, there she would be able to see all of her friends and maybe even learn surfing from Ian since she was the one providing the waves.
"I'm going to get my book and do some drawing. I'm feeling a bit behind in my work," she said to the mafia princess. "I'll see you at the barbecue. Wear that new bathing suit you got with your mom and I'll wear mine. We will look so cute." With a wink she kissed her girlfriends good bye and waved at Gavin with a sly smirk and headed for the girl's dorm. It was time to see if Lorelai was alright and clear up the stupid rumors... if they were rumors.

The Royal goth Devil-spawn blushed, beaming at her beau. He was so much wiser than his years and she loved how he spoke. His cowboy drawl and the words he chose made her smile inside and out. "I trust you Sean, yea It'd be so fun for you to teach me, but only if you pick me a real cool horse. I'll love to have something else to share with you. Wow, horseback riding- awesome!"
"So, okay then if you're gonna fix up something for Jasper then I guess I'll head up to Lorelai's room." She rose from the table with Sean, he always stood when any one of the girls stood, ever the gentleman he was. She kissed his cheek and hugged him for like more than thirty-five seconds before waving bye to the rest of her friends at the table, and headed for the girl's dorm. It was time to see if Lorelai was alright, that was the most important thing.
Seeing Heather just ahead of her she rushed up alongside her and said "Hey, I'm heading up to check on Lorelai. If you have a minute maybe you could join me there. I'm a little worried for her, she never misses a meal." She almost giggled at how that came out but she didn't it was too serious a thing. "Uh, well you know what I mean. All the talk and the blood trail in the hall and everything. I know you and her aren't close really, not like yous use ta be, but being an outsider let me tell you that it might mean a lot... if you don't mind stopping by."

"Well Kurt... loath as I am to pry into a young mind, as they are ever so untidy and disjointed, it is not an injury she sustained in your Paragon training session. To be sure this is something just short of suicidal, one might presume. A self inflicted wound that she- how shall I put it, 'had help with' -but the worst of it self inflicted indeed." Emma had a bowl of small fruits, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, which she was levitating up out of the bowl into the grasp of her waiting fingertips. Taking the luxury to practice her telekinesis as it was the newest of her abilities to surface, attention to detail and precision ever paramount to her discipline, and as well she was delighting in it.
"I believe she had gone in search of some answers to the question of who she is and found her questions asked in the wrong company." Emma nodded at all who were catching the drift of what she was saying. "Do I have to speak plainly? Well, if I must, so be it..." Emma shook her head slightly at the crudeness of where this was going, but soldiered on none the less "..she found herself in the company of one Brock Van Alstyne last night, and some two hours later managed to make her way back to her room dripping her humiliation down the halls. As we are all aware there are rules in place to prevent such actions, as there are rules in place to prevent all of the things our kids think they get away with. The damage, however, is done and her punishment is only just begun. As her peers will undoubtedly make minced meat of her heart and she will be even less kind to herself than any of them might."
Plucking a blueberry from mid air as it held there awaiting her grasp she continued. "I see no point in placing restrictions on the two of them from seeing one another. For in reading their minds and scanning their memories I have come to find that neither one found much enjoyment in the act save for the morbid delight Mr. Van Alstyne had in belittling the girl. She was given more than ample enough warning to stay away from him and as far as I am concerned this situation will resolve itself. There is the matter of the dirty hallway that I would have set Rumble to work on had Kevin not just left to tend to the trail of embarrassment and shame of his friend."
"Perhaps it is time for a lecture about conduct and sexual responsibilities, the appropriateness of sex in relationships, and reinforce the restrictions they are supposed to be under while here at the school." She turned a raised eyebrow at Scott to see if he would want that task before spreading her gaze around the rest of the teachers for their responses. "Either that or Hank maybe you could engineer us up an infectious rash that we could use as a deterrent......Hmmm for the most effective spread we need only infect...lets see, Riker and... well, no Riker should do it." She smiled at the quip, not enough of a smile for those seated around her to tell if her comments were in jest or not.

Tia's fork was inches away from her mouth, but all of her hunger had suddenly disappeared at the news Kris had so boldly announced. There were some things in the world Tia just didn't want to know, and this was surely one of them. Is that why she was crying? If she was crying, but she must have been- it all seems to fit, and I couldn't be imagining her sobbing for so long... uh, why am i thinking about this? Tia put her fork down, pushing her plate a couple of centimeters away from her. Honestly speaking Tia was feeling slightly concerned about her friend, her vague sobs were still echoing at the back of Tia's head.
I don't want to interfere where i'm not wanted.If she wants to talk to me, she'll be able to find me. Tia reassured herself, then sighed. Seeing her mind was so fixed on Frosty, anytime someone mentioned the new paragon, the conversation came vaguely flooding into Tia's ears. Even the teachers know?! She pushed the thought away. Don't think about it... Her eyes moved over to Veronika and she picked on Veronika's last couple of sentences. "Um yeah, TV's good." she stated simply as a late response, trying to adjust the sickening expression on her face to seem more sober and normal. Honestly, Tia wasn't too interested in the program Veronika had mentioned, but she was just glad that the conversation had taken a new turn.
