Naomi nodded in response. Rocket? Okay. I'll remember that. She wondered if she was starting to tread on thin ice - that girl, er, Rocket definitely doesn't think lightly of her power but it also seemed to be a sensitive point for her. In any case, Naomi couldn't easily brush off that feeling of failure, so she wasn't planning on staying silent. "Yeah, I don't understand, and I don't know what made you think that way," she mumbled "But I'm just a year younger than you, and I can barely swim, even though I have a 'fish tail'. Being a mermaid is tough stuff - but anyway, you're in this school for a reason, okay? I guess we're going to actually going to learn how to control our powers here." she reassured. Naomi was curious about the methods Rocket was using to control her ability, but she held her questions back if Rocket isn't going to mention them.

"I think there was introduction stuff in the beginning of class, but I guess we kinda missed that." she responded, and leaned in for a whisper. "Yeah, I was pretty late too." Eleanor's brow furrowed as she nodded earnestly. "But we're singing our songs in groups. We (Yuelia and Ashes and me) already sang but I don't mind singing again. We gotta practice, right?" she said, and started to straighten her back, ready to sing at any moment.

Aimi shrugged. "15 mins is really not a lot to wait." she responded. "And it's still the first day of school so what were ya expecting?? We always do the classics - introductions and stuff - in the beginning of the year."

"What. So we have to go back downstairs?" he needlessly asked. "Let's find another stairwell. The one we just came through isn't going to take us anywhere anyway." He walked down the seemingly endless hall, looking for the main stairs. With a turn to the left, he was walking down the left-wing and found the doors to the main stairwell. While passing through the door, he left the door open for Lilith and started walking down the stairs to the first floor. Looking left and right, he found a sign labelled 'Auditorium'. "Looks like we're here." he proclaimed.

Yuelia nodded. "Practice us something I th8nk we all need." She said. Yuelia sat down in a chair and out her hand on the back of her head. "So who's going first?" She asked the group.

Ashes Skye|Male|Student|17 years old|Open

Ashes sat down next to Yuelia and nodded in agreement with her. "For sure." He said, leaning back slightly. The male listened quietly for someone to speak up as who was going first. Ashes didn't really want to go first.

Jax shrugged his shoulder, "Kinda expecting something different, but they still got the same old dusty walls." He pointed at the creaky floors and walls to emphasize his point, "Eh, can't expect much." Jax paused before he spoke, "I'm really tired." There really isn't anything to say, should I just continue talking?? He pulls out his phone from his left pocket as he checks the time, Jax yawns while putting back his cracked, old phone. "Gym better be more fun than this. Who's the teacher for gym, do you know?" Jax looks around as he waits for the period to end.

Lissandra's eyes widened in surprise ''Wh- Are we singing in front of everyone? Well, i know it is a silly question but..'' she looked down to the stage, imagining being there alone and sounding bad. A chill went down from her spine ''Okay, i like attention but.. I kinda never sang in front of anyone. And i do not really like my voice.'' she silently added as her eyes jumped between the trio like she was asking for help.

Eden// Student// Male // 16// Tags: Angelika, Open

Eden beamed as he saw how overjoyed Angelika was to be able to "hear" again, even if it was only a temporary feeling. The empath knew that he could never actually replace her hearing, but he was glad that he could at least replicate the feeling for her. As Angelika hugged him, Eden was a little caught off guard for a moment, but he regained his composure quickly and hugged her back. He was a very cuddly guy so he didn't mind her sudden embrace. As she pulled away, Eden's cheeks were faintly pink but he smiled back at her with his usual cheerful smile. *You're welcome* He signed. Ruffling his wings happily, Eden nodded * Yeah! I'd love to hear your song!* He couldn't wait to hear what type of song she had; though he knew it was going to be something as amazing as Angelika herself.

Rocket// Student// Female// 18// Tags: Naomi, Open

Rocket scoffed slightly as she leaned against the wall, " My power is control over electricity and technology- i didn't mention that before, right? Think about all of the electricity pulsing through this school. And all of the technology that here- phones, computers, everything. I can control all of it whether I want to or not. If I slip up and lose control of my power then every piece of technology could be blown to smithereens, just like that light" She raised her hand and pointed up at the light above them, which exploded with a small pop!. Rocket sighed softly, shaking her head " I dunno if I'll be able to learn how to control my powers even in this school. I've tried to control them for four years and I still have no clue what I'm doing." The white-haired girl frustratedly scowled, shoving her hands in her pockets.

Pound Cake smiled as Kayden came over, " Nice to meet ya, Kayden." He said cheerfully. He was trying his best to be as approachable and friendly as possible; poor Kayden seemed really nervous. It didn't help that a small fire erupted just a few feet away from them. Pound Cake gave a nervous squeak, completely disappearing from view for a few moments until the fire was put out." Sorry, sorry " He apologized, materializing a little bit away from where he had been standing, " I don't really like fire all that much...." The ghost-boy gave a sheepish smile at Kaden and Rosita before turning to see what- or who- had started it. He saw the teacher talking to a boy with scorch marks on his clothes. Ah, it must have been him Pound Cake thought. Seeing that everything was under control, he looked at the two others. " So, do you guys wanna take turns singing our songs?" He asked

Aimi watched Jax pull out his phone, mindlessly scrolling through it. So is this how a conversation ends. I guess I don't have much to say either. She shrugged, and she readily reached for her phone again until Jax brought up another question. "Gym? I honestly don't know. I heard there was a new teacher." she replied, shuddering at the thought of going to gym. She hated that place. Being forced to do fifteen push-ups and, I dunno, one thousand laps? Nope, no thank you. "I think he's pre-tty young though. The new teacher, I mean."

Eleanor eagerly the seat for her to sit back down; it always made her feel anxious whenever someone stands up before her. Was it an inferiority complex? No idea. "Hey, hey, don't worry! We're not singing in front of everybody (thank god). The teacher said to work in groups. And you're already in one, sooo..." Eleanor shrugged. Seeing how uncomfortable Yuelia and Ashes seemed to be, Eleanor cleared her throat. "Well, I can start first. Unless if Lissandra wants to go." she proclaimed, nodding in her classmate's direction.

Naomi's brow furrowed in concern, worrying about where to start to help Rocket. "Maybe you could take it easy, and not get frustrated when you use your powers? Take a deep breath I guess, and start small?" she suggested. Then her eyes lit up when an idea came to mind. Reaching for her dress pocket, she pulled out her phone which had a charm dangling from it. Naomi pulled the accessory/keychain off and placed it in the palm of her hand. It was a modest and compact size, but it could be used as a flashlight with a push of a button. Dangling the keychain's loop on her finger, she presented it to Rocket. "Do you think you could do something about this? It's supposed to be a flashlight, but its tiny batteries died. I just never bothered to charge them."

He nods along, ready to go interrupt whatever mischief is happening in the music room. He smiles apologetically at William, regretting his rude behavior. After summer break, he tends to be ruder than normal. It takes a while for him to get back into the niceties of life. "Forgive me; I tend to speak my mind when words come to it, or else I lose them. You were saying life has been pretty normal, William?" He opens the door, leading them out into the halls. He leads the way back to the music room, ready for action. "How should we go about this?"

Angelika smiles, and turns her recorder volume up to max levels, so she can feel the music. She can hear the song while singing it, and will not get any wrong cues, but she still enjoys feeling it. Angie stands up, smooths her shirt, and looks up at Eden. *There are three pieces to the song, but I like the third piece the best. I think it may be three songs combined into one, actually. A part 1, 2, and 3. I'll just start at part 3, which is my favorite. It's called This Life Is Mine.* Angelika takes a deep breath, preparing herself for her song. She presses play, and when her cue comes, she starts out softly.

"Mirror, Can you hear me?
Do I reach you?
Are you even listening?
Can I get through?

There's a part of me that's desperate for changes
Tired of being treated like a pawn
But there's a part of me that stares back from inside the mirror
Part of me that's scared I might be wrong
That I can't be strong...

I've been afraid, never standing on my own.
I let you be the keeper of my pride
Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own
Listen when I say, I swear it here today
I will not surrender
This life is mine!

Jax nodded as he thought. "Hmm, if he's young then he shouldn't be too hard on us" he chuckled as he sighed of relief. "Thank god there's a new teacher. Last year, it was horrible." Jax looked down at his shoes, not knowing what else to say. He held onto his phone tucked inside his pocket as he kept quiet. "Next period should be soon.." Jax said to break the awkward tension.

William Cohen • 25 • Male • Student • Auditorium • Justin Dai

William smiled as he waved his hand dismissively, "It's no big deal," he shrugged his shoulders as he nodded his head understandingly. While following Justin, he picked his head up and nodded once again, "Yep, life is the same. Nothing interesting is happening in my life." William stopped as he looked back, confused, "I believe there is a doorway to the music room in the back of the auditorium." He paused to think before adding, "There's probably another door that leads to the music room. I usually go to the music room from the auditorium so I don't really remember the other way to go in. Lead the way!"

Eden's bright blue eyes lit up with pure delight when Angelika begins to sing. He couldn't help but smile as she sings softly- somehow, her song seems to fit her personality perfectly. Despite Angelika's deafness, she sings beautifully. Eden ruffled his wings happily as she sings the last verse. * That was amazing! You were awesome!* He signs with a huge grin on his face. Inadvertently using his power, the young empath practically radiates a warm happiness.

Rocket// Student// Female// 18// Tags: Naomi, Open

Rocket crossed her arms over her chest, giving a small sigh. " I don't know, maybe it'll work" She grumbled under her breath. The young electropath had tried everything to control her power, she didn't truly believe that just taking a deep breath and calming down would solve all of her problems. Though, she didn't say it outloud because she didn't want to hurt Naomi's feelings. The mermaid girl had been extremely kind to Rocket and she was very slowly warming up to her. As Naomi suggested that she charge the small charm, Rocket's expression flickered with uncertainty. " Sure, I guess I could..." She said, taking the flashlight with a surprisingly delicate touch. Holding the flash light in her palm, she took a deep breath and tried to charge the battery- but nothing happened, not even a single jolt of energy. " Come on" Rocket grumbled, letting out a curse in annoyance.
