some fresh air... [o]

[andtar]

It had been a simple morning, she hadn't be recognized, she was still unknown by most. She didn't want people to know who she was. She would rather be like a ghost, just staying in the shadows. Nudge was inside the big building when she decided that she would go out into the courtyard to get some fresh air. I was a busy place at most times and she hoped dearly that today it wasn't all too busy.

Nudge went through the hallways, avioding all the crowds of perfects and other kids. Why couldn't she still be on the street, but in her beeing here she had learned that she had the power of elemental transmutation. She had been working on that as of late. As Nudge reached the courtyard her blue eyes scanned it. There was a small group of three or four people, but other than that the people here were by themselves, all doing various things.

Nudge went over to where a newly planted bed of flowers was and sat down there. It was kind of off to the side so she wouldn't be the first person somebody would see, and hopefully nobody would bother to come over and see what she was doing. She scooped up a handful of loose soil and with that tried to transmute it. It turned into a flower and Nudge smiled, a smile that almost nobody saw.

She set the flower into the soil and patted some more around it so maybe it would grow. She was getting better at this power stuff. Her lie detecter was doing fine and she could still rearange the memories of others so that hadn't changed. She kept playing with the dirt, turning into various things then turning it back. This was playing to her considering how she had no friends to play real games with, but she liked it that way.

At some point Demi was going to have to reconsider this whole walking around out of his uniform. But wasn't there a grace period of a few days? ... He could always say it didn't fit and he was waiting for a new one. Anyway, Demitrius Malixi liked the attention. He definitely earned it, sporting a black t-shirt with an image of an aggressive looking Hulk leering from the shirt front, accompanied by a pair of jeans and his regular, nondescript shoes. If nothing else, the attire was more comfortable than the dress shirt and jacket.

As Demi strode through the courtyard with only slight interest in the other students, he found himself giving some serious consideration to the ground. Such a well kept bit of land. How did they possibly maintain it with so many careless people bustling about? Speaking of maintaining, his eyes happened to catch sight of Nudge, who appeared to be holding a flower as he walked by.

For a brief moment, Demi stood watching her, his hands in his pockets as a rare look of calmness took over his expression. Being calm wasn't rare, but being calm around other students certainly was. It was short lived. But she gave him an answer to his silent question. Demi grinned, bounding over to her before kneeling at her side quite comfortably.

"Pretty flower!

[/color]" Demi enthused. "So, gardening, huh? Sure sounds better than the other student's interest in fighting. It's nice to brighten the place up with some color.[/color]" Demi reached out, touching the newly planted flower's petal with a very careful motion, his eyes bright and curious as he seemed to examine the plant.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

Her shoulder's tensed as some guy came bounding up and sat down beside her. Nudge's cover was blow already and she had just gotten here. Geez, this guy seemed like he had quite the mouth on him and that might just screw up her whole plan to not be know by anybody. She moved away from him a bit, not liking being so close to another person at all.

The guy wasn't wearing a uniform so Nudge had no way of telling if he was a perfect or just another kid. He didn't seem too harmful, but he probably wouldn't even know when he was doing harm, considering how he probably wouldn't think twice about it. Nudge was already getting ready to swipe his memory of ever meeting her, but she decided to give him time to prove that he wasn't going to tell.

The guy almost seemed to be examining the newly made flower's petals. What was he doing? Why was he doing it? It was just a flower right? Most kids at this school didn't care about flowers or stuff like that. Especially not the male side of the population. He was definitely an odd one. Nudge thought about asking for his name, but that would probably result in him asking for hers and she didn't want that.

"Sure." She mumbled simple, referring to how he said that it was nice to brighten up the place with some color. She looked at the flower too. It was quite nice, one of her better works. The last time she tried to make a flower it failed miserably and right after she made it it had turned straight back to dirt.

[demi]

"Exactly! Maybe we can find others. We could relocate all the flowers from other parts of the school and bring them here! Make a beautiful garden tight in the middle of the courtyard, with so many plants, people wouldn't be able to miss it.

[/color]" Demi jumped up. Maybe he was reacting to the fact that she moved away- he didn't entirely mean to make her uncomfortable. Now, normally that would be something he'd just deal with, but sitting beside her wasn't that important to him. Her not being as chatty as he was didn't help matters at all. Sure was not the building block toward conversation.

"Whatsyourfavoritecolor?[/color]" Demi's words came out without a single pause between them, making the slur of sounds sound like one word as he glanced around the courtyard from where he was standing, as if seeking out other flowers to steal and relocate.

"There aren't possibly enough blue flowers, are there now? Not purple, but really, blue. I want to find some.[/color]" Demi added thoughtfully, finally looking back at Nudge. Oh. Yeah. He hadn't given his name. If he had, he probably would have said, 'don't you think, so and so?' right about now. But he couldn't.

"Oh! I'm Demi, by the way. If you were curious.[/color]" Demi flashed her a playful smile.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

[andtar]

This kid was annoying. And Nudge still couldn't tell if he was a perfect or not. This guy was just messing with her mind. Her ran her fingers through her hair and sighed. Why couldn't she have like, Telepathy or something along those lines? Then she could just figure out what people were thinking and all would be so much easier.

Nudge looked up at the wierd guy when he said a whole sentance in one word. What was he on? Did he know that drugs were against the school rules and were just plainly bad for you. Maybe he wasn't on drugs, maybe he was just plain wierd. Nudge sighed again, it couldn't hurt to answer. "Teal." She answered with a simple one worded answer. He couldn't stop talking and she didn't want to.

Blue flowers? Nudge supposed that there weren't all that many, but she could make some if she wanted. She frowned at the flower she had made previously. She touched the petals and they turned blue, not purple, blue. "Happy?" She asked with a small chuckle. It seemed unlikely that this guy couldn't be happy. How old was he anyway? He looked a little bit young.

Demi, his name was Demi. Well Demi was a nickname for him, Nudge couldn't tell what his real name was, bt she could tell that there was a slight bit of lie in it, meaning it was a nickname. And actually, she wasn't all too curious about his name, just about his status. She supposed that it was the protocall for her to tell him her name, but she didn't. Instead she just stayed sitting on the ground near the flower bed.

[demi]

"Teal's a pretty color.

[/color]" Demi grinned, giving a slight nod as if he approved of her choice in her favorite color. It was pretty close to blue, which was a plus in his mind, not that he really cared if a random girl liked the same color he did.

Demi's expression became serious once again as he gazed at the flower. She'd just changed the color? Was this some form of reality manipulation? Some illusion? He reached out again, touching the petals. They felt just as they had before, as far as he could tell. Demi smiled again, turning his attention to her.

"I like blue. There really aren't that many blue foods. Candy, sure, just not natural foods.[/color]" Demi pointed out, not willing to address the fact that she'd changed the flower directly. Indirectly, sure. He just wasn't going to let on to his curiosity too much.

"Of course I'm happy! Thank you.[/color]" Demi agreed, his tone cheerful. Demi also 'didn't notice' that she didn't give her name. He gave it a few more seconds, then, without missing a beat, he was changing the conversation again so it wouldn't seem awkward and he wouldn't seem like he actually cared.

"Could you turn the grass blue and freak everyone out? Or the sky green?[/color]" Demi's tone was mischievous now, his eyes twinkling as he seemed to consider the possibilities and the havoc they could cause together with a power like he assumed she had. That wasn't too telling, was it? Just playful. Yes. That's what Demi hoped.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

Nudge wasn't too sure what to think of this guy. One minute he was bouncing around, then he was serious as he examined the flower she had made, then he was smiling again. Demi was hard to keep up with. She really just wished he had never came over, it would have been so much easier that way. Nudge wasn't all too sure what to say, the last time she talked to a kid her age it was telling them that they were dead to her. Lovely. She decided she would just try to act like a normal kid to make herself as forgettable as possible and if that didn't work she would just do some memory tricks.

So Nudge stood up. "I suppose that there aren't all too many natural blue foods." She said, not using a one word scentance anymore. She was really against that though because she kind of hated talking, but she told herself that she had to act like a normal kid if she was to be forgettable. She tried to think of sone thing to say, but he said something before she had to. It was a thank you for making the flower blue? Or making him happy perhaps? She couldn't even remember the last time somebody had thanked her for, well, anything really.

Nudge was at a loss for words. She actually didn't know how to respond to that. She guessed that she should just say your welcome. So she did. "I guess you're welcome, but it was nothing really." She told him. It really had been nothing. She has done much bigger stuff, but it had always failed right after, so she guessed it was one of her best successes. Suddenly the flower's blue pedals then faded back to its orriginal color. Nudge frowned at it, maybe it wasn't as big of a success as she had thought.

Could Nudge turn the grass blue? The sky green? She had never tried such a thing, and she didn't want to either. Even if she did turn either the other color it would take a lot of energy and it would only be for a few seconds. The reason Nudge wasn't too sure if she wanted to was because that would spike people's interest in her and that would make her known, not something she wanted. She shrugged as an answer to him. She didn't bother talking because there was no real need to.

When Nudge looked away from the no longer blue flower and back at Demi he ha a mishchevious glint in his eyes. Yet another mood change. He was so strange, but she shouldn't be talking considering how she herself wanted to not be known by anybody and have no record of her ever existing. She was kind of a nut herself. She also had really wierd fears, such as getting to close to a person. She also wasn't scared of death as alot of people might be.
