Lonely~open, anybody?

[lizzy]

Heather sat on her bed, feeling lonely. Ember was hunting, and Tom was in the boy'd dorm, studying. For what? she wondered. She got down off the bed and pulled out her dagger. She gripped it in her hand, and the blade burst into flame. She spun it around a bit, then, her got bored and put it away. She sat on the floor and put her face through the floor. Just another hallway, she thought. She pulled her face out and leaned against the bed, so bored.

Outside of the room, a girl stood, carrying two large bags that had been packed to the max. She looked around, unsure of what to do. She stood in the middle of the hallway, looking from left to right, eyes flickering from room to room, searching for the one that belonged to her. There was only one problem. Ashley wasn't sure which one was supposed to be hers. She was like that...always remembering the things that didn't matter...yet, always forgetting the things that did. It was quite annoying at times. Like now, for example. She knew that she could always go back down and ask...but...
Oh, wait! That one was it...or, at least she thought so. She slowly walked over to the room that she thought was hers. She stood by the door, still a little unsure. Her mother had sent her here because she was a nuisance. What if she had a room mate...? And what if they thought she was a nuisance too...? She bit her lower lip a little, slightly nervous. She held the room key she had been given in her hand, fiddling with it slightly.

Heather heard movment outside the room. She slowly stuck her head through the door to see who it was. "Well hello there," She said to the amber eyed girl who looked about her age, standing around, looking for her room. She walked through the door, so the the girl could get a better look. "I'm Heather, Heather Cody," She said, smiling. "But most people just call me Heat," She then whispered, "It goes with the power." Then she looked around, "Are you looking for something?"

[Skye]

Ashley jumped back slightly, a little surprised. She stumbled a few steps back and then stood still, staring in shock. But, after a few moments she remembered why she was sent her....To learn how to control her powers and use them efficiently. So, it was only natural that the other students had powers too. She relaxed and then said with a smile, "Nice to meet ya. I'm Ashley Cole."
She stood there with a smile for a few moments, before seeming to remember what she was doing up here. "Ohh...right. Well, I was trying to find my room..." she said, in answer to Heather's question.

Heather decided to help the poor girl. "Well do you remember the number?" She said, trying to be helpful. "I'm in room 7, and I don't have a room mate yet," She was wondering if Ashley was her Roomy.

[Skye]

Ashley put her finger on her chin, tapping it slowly. Which room had it been...? She seemed thoughtful for a moment, not really knowing...but trying to think. Then, as Heather spoke, she looked up. "Oh, yes!" she exclaimed suddenly. "I remember now...Yes, that's it. I was room 7." She hit her forehead lightly with her hand. She picked up her bags again and turned to Heather. "Looks like I'm gonna be rooming with you, then." She smiled.

"Sweet!" Heather said, walking through the door, and unlocking it from the inside. She opened it and said, "You can have the other bed, I'm already settled." In the room there was two single beds, and one closet and a small chest of drawers. "I hope you're not used to luxery," she smiled at Ashley, "Because you won't get any here." She giggled at her joke and walked towards Ashley, "Can I help you with your bags?"

[Skye]

Ashley slowly stepped into the room, looking around. Actually, she wasn't used to luxury, seeing as she had lived in the country and her mother hadn't had much money. So to her, this was perfectly fine. In each hand she held a large suitcase that had been packed to the max. "Sure," she said to Heather. "Thanks," she added with a smile. "It's a little heavy though..." She slowly handed one of her bags to Heather. Then she began hauling the remaining bag into the room. She dropped it down onto one of the beds and then let out a sigh, relieved to be able to set the bag down. Whatever was inside it...was a mystery...

Heather helped Ashley with her bag, and put it on the bed beside her. She didn't care how heavy it was. She was helping her friend. "So.." She asked. "What do you do?" She smiled at Ashley, wanting to know her powers. She sat down on her bed, and looked up at Ashley.

[Skye]

"Ohh... my powers?" Ashley said, looking down at Heather. "Well... I'm telepathic." That was true... althought she could only communicate with her brother, Blake. She hadn't yet gotten to the level where she could send others telepathic messages. "Just with my brother though..." she added. "And, I can make plants grow. That one still needs a lot of work though..." She trailed off slightly with a small laugh. "I tend to make them grow... a little too much." She sat down on the other bed by her bag, and then asked curiously, "What about you?"

"Well," Heather replied. "I can feel almost exactly what my brother feels, and I can walk through walls." Then she added the last part, half whispering. "I can also creat and control Fire. That's why most of my friends call me Heat." She smiled, quite proud of her powers, but she didn't want to look like a showoff. " I also have a pet pheonix named Ember, but he's out hunting." Heat stood up and looked at a picture on the chest of drawers. She sighed as she looked at her parents, and knew that Tom felt it too.

In the Boy's Dorm, Tom put down his book, and tried to send a mental note to Heather. It's okay Heather. I'm here, don't worry. He didn't know exactly how she was feeling, but he continued to read his book.

Heather felt her brothers words, and felt a little better, but continued to get lost in her thoughts.

[Skye]

"Really?" Ashley said, "That's cool." She had to admit she was a little jealous of this girl's powers. Her powers were actually useful in a way. Plus, her brother was actually around to talk to... Ashley would probably never see Blake again. Why would she? Ever since their parents had split they hadn't said a word to eachother. "I have a pet too, she's a kitten and..." Ashley trailed off as she realized Heather had gone silent. She stood up from the bed and leaned forward slightly, trying to see what she was looking at. Ashley followed her gaze and spotted the picture. She looked at it for a few moments and then glanced back over at her friend. "Heather...?" She wanted to ask about the picture, but she didn't want to pry.

[lizzy]

Heather looked up at her roomate. "I'm sorry, Ashley," She said. "I was just...well..." She sighed. "My parents died not to long ago and I miss them terribly. I know Tom does too, but he seems to be stronger than me on the subject." Heather tried hard not to let the tears come.

"So you have a kitten," Heather said, desperatly trying to change the subject.
