He shook his head and stood back up offering his hand to her. "Shimmer, the more you resent your power and what you can do the more you will let it hold you back. Come on now, Stand up and get yourself together. You have an amazing ability. Take control of it. " He was talking like his old basketball coach. Giving strong encouragement.

Taking his hand gently and pulling herself up, Torri ran her hands over herself warily, making sure she was the same way as before. Exhaling loudly she shook her head and wrapped her hands around herself. "I don't want to have this ability, i want to be normal!" she said sadly, looking downward again and sighing defeatedly. "I would still be on speaking terms with my mum if i didn't have it, i wouldn't look so different if i didn't" she sighed quietly. "So forgive me for not being as entusiastic."

He shook his head hearing her. And he stepped away, and turned getting the basketball. "Well Im sorry Shimmer but we arent normal. We are different. And I knwo its hard to accept. But that doesnt make us horrible. Im sorry your mother has trouble accepting it. But you are here nw. With people who want to help you. If you keep tryin gto push everyone away that wants to help you. You will be alone foever." he ran up to the hoop and tossed the ball up into it lightly. He seemed so relaxed and calm about things. He never seemed to let anything get to him. But in a way it was his own defense. "You have the ability to use your power and control it. But you fight it to much so you wont control it. But you dont have to listen to me. I was just trying to help." He ran up and caught the ball and swung around tossign it up again. "My parents sent me here too. They couldnt handle me."

Torri sighed a little as she listened to Jumper, she knew she wasn't the only one here with problems, but she was more occupied with her own to deal with the thought of the other students. "Well good! the more i fight it the less i use it." she said loudly, becoming more upset again, "And yes you were trying to help. But unlike you Jumper, i have worries, your power you've got down. I only found out a few months ago!" she said in almost a yell. "You are lucky in that you can take whatever is thrown at you, and just brush it off.....but i can't!" her voice becoming higher and louder still.
"But if you think i just want to be 'alone forever' as you said. Then you are obnoxious as you are kind." she added sadly, before slowly turning and starting to walk toward the exit.

He took a shot as she was almost yelling at him and the shot went wide and missed. He turned to look at her as she started walking away. "If you dont want to be alone, then dont. Stop shrinking away from everyone and everything. your right Im in control of what I know. But I wasnt always. And noone here is throwing anythign at you. You want to deny your powers, thats fine. Hold it all up inside. And let it explode inside of you one day, and you wont know how to control it." He didnt teleport this time, he actually walked over and picked up the ball and began bouncing it slowly as he walked towards the net.

Torri looked at him with a slightly open mouth. She didn't want to say out loud, but he was right. She did just push everyone away from her, but she wasn't to help that, she always pushed everyone away. The only person she hadn't was her father, and he died a long time ago it seemed. Noticing how he had decided to walk over to get the ball this time rather than poping over to it, gave Torri a huge pang of hurt. Moreso because she had apparently, or so she thought, effected him as well. "I'm sorry Jumper...." she said quietly in her old voice. Stopping to watch him for a second before deciding better of it and returning to her walk toward the door, hugging herself slightly too tightly around her stomach.

He began practicing again and shooting the ball. Turning to look as she left. He always did let things roll or bounce off him. But he had tried to get through to her. And he thought he was until she freaked out. "You dont need to apologize to me Shimmer. You didnt do anythign wrong. If you are that afraid of people and yourself. I cant help that. I tried. I really did. But the rest is up to you. Im always around." He turned again and made a jump shot. He had begun to work up a sweat and took off his shirt to cool down. Tossing it aside. Picking the ball up again and he dribbled down to the other side of the court and made another shot.
