Rose

Rose shot to her feet, fists clenched. "He didn't do anything!" she shouted, glaring at the soaked teacher. "How can he have? He was in the back of the room." Adam's eyes narrowed as he looked at her. Something like a twisted smile flashed across his face, and she could have sworn there was triumph in his eyes. "You too, Mason. Office. Now. Go." Refraining from swearing at him with great difficulty, she jerked her backpack off her chair and marched out the door. She dodged the spray of water as best as she could but still managed to get soaked. Grumbling, she ran and caught up with Dylan. "Can you believe him?" she snarled, outrage all over her face.

Dylan

Dylan simmered in anger for a few moments before kicking a random locker, denting it. "AGGH! That idiot! We didn't do anything. He just hates us." He clenched his fists, and slumped against a locker. It was only then he noticed Rose was soaked. "How'd.. you get wet?" He looked confused, then looked down at his own dry body. He touched his shirt, and it was dry, too. "Rose, why are you wet and I'm dry?"

Rose

Rose sank down beside him, wrapping her arms around her knees and drawing them against her. She frowned and looked over at Dylan. "That's... a good question. Maybe you just dodged the spray without realizing it?" ADHD could do that to them-- make them miss something that happened because they were distracted. "Whatever it was, consider yourself lucky. I'm not exactly enjoying being soaking wet." She sighed, wringing her hair out, which had turned brown because of the water. "What do you think Masterson's gonna say?" she asked. The Headmistress of their school wasn't particularly strict-- not like Adams, anyway, and she didn't despise her and Dylan like half the teachers did.

Dylan

Dylan frowned. "Yeah, you're probably right. Lately I've seen a lot of wierd things... maybe my ADHD is acting up." Like Dylan, Rose had ADHD and dyslexia too. They understood eachother, and what they went through. "I don't know what she's going to say, but I'm not finding out." Dylan calmly strode out of the main entrence. "Why stick around? Our parents just sent us off to this place. We have no belongings... nothing." Well, that's not exactly true. I have my sword... "If my mom really loved me, she would've kept me around." Dylan stood out front. The sun was shining down on him, the sky a cloudless blue. It was too pretty. Things should be sad and dark. His mother said she loved him, but she just abandoned him. Why? "Rose, why don't we go out and explore? Just for a little bit?" He knew he was being completely irrational, but who cares? He was too angry to see any sense.

Rose

A mischievous smile flashed across Rose's face. Usually, she might hesitate. Dylan was familiar with New York, not her. It was mildly intimidating to her, not that she'd ever admit it. People she could handle; getting lost? Not so much. And that was easy to do for someone not familiar with the sprawling city. But now, she was all for it. Anger and defiance at Adams was making her feel more reckless than usual-- which was saying alot. "Definitely." Hitching her backpack more securely over her shoulder, she followed him out of the school. They'd be in huge trouble when they got back, but they needed a little escape from this place.

Dylan

Dylan looked down at his sword. He supposed Rose only saw the plastic sword like his mom did, and probably thought he was crazy. But this sword was his only connection to his mysterious father, and he felt.. drawn to it. Suddenly, he felt an impulse, and flipped the sword over, and almost gasped out loud. The wave and odd sea-animal design continued, but slapped on the back of the golden hilt was.. a compass? No, that couldn't be it. It was weird.. there was only 1 needle, and no north or south. Not even a single directional! The arrow was pointing somewhere to his left. "Let's go this way," he murmured to Rose vacantly before wandering off in no apparent direction through the thick woods. I must be crazy, he thought as he followed the golden arrow on his sword.

Rose

"Oka-- What is that you're holding?" Having somehow not noticed the foot-long weapon, she was slow to react as he pointed it and said in a somewhat vacant voice, "Let's go this way." Running to catch up to him, she said, eyes wide and grin wider, "You've been holding out on me, Greene. Where did you get a sword? A gold one at that. Have you been robbing banks when I had my back turned?" Her voice was teasing but was still curious. It wasn't like it could have just appeared out of thin air, and there wasn't a chance he could have gotten that thing through the school's metal detectors.

Dylan

Dylan stopped in midstep, and did a 360 turn to face Rose. "Wait- what do you mean?" He pulled out his sword, which had mysteriously turned into a golden aureus when he placed it in his pocket, or a Roman coin. Wait.. how do I know this stuff?! "You can see it too?" Dylan gripped the coin tighter, and it transformed back into the 12-foot-long deadly weapon it truely is. He took a step back away from Rose and looked her dead in the eyes.

[ragemonster]

Rose

Rose frowned when Dylan took a step away from her and fixed her with a serious look. "What are you talking about? Of course I can see it. Am I not supposed to?" She watched, still frowning, as the sword turned into a large coin and then back into a sword. "How did it just..." she trailed off. "Dylan, where did you get it?"

[kannagi]

Dylan

The color drained from Dylan's face. "My mom said my father left it for me." Dylan whispered, turning the golden sword over in the light and staring at it, awestruck. "She could only see a plastic and foam childs' sword, so she saw no reason not to give it to me. But... I thought... I thought I could only see the sword." His bright blue eyes widened before he shook his head. "We have to keep going. If we're caught out here, we'll get in even more trouble. Although, we're already pretty much suspended." He gripped the sword and flipped it over to the side with the weird compass, and followed the golden arrow, not looking back to see if Rose was following.
