Hear the music? [o]

[taren9]

Bored, conpleatly bored. With the violin case in hand Sasha walked down different hallways of the school. Her fingerless gloves masked some brass knuckles for protection. She walked proudly in the middle of the hallway, not caring who saw her. Her free hand trouched anything that passed by, usually another person's arm. They all looked at her kind of funny, but she didn't see the looks, well, she was blind after all. She was compleately bored and she had no idea what to do with her free time.

Sasha was going through the places she could go to play her violin. Oh, she had an idea! She could go to the student lounge, there were no perfects there, well, not most of the time. She smiled and then took off running, not the best idea for a blind person to do. She knew these hallways though. She turned one corner, then the next then kept running. When she got to the right place she turned to where the door should be, she ran into it. Her fell backwards on to her butt and laughed slightly.

Sasha stood up and turned the doorknob, opening the door and walking in. There were a few people in the lounge and she walked right in. She went to te least crowed place and sat down on the ground. She opened the violin case and pulled out the violin and bow. She made sure everything was ready to play and played every note once, making sure it was ready. With a she started to play. The song she was playing wasn't classical as it usually was instead it was a dubstep song, she liked this just as good.

Steven didn't usually walk by the student lounge, but today, he felt that he should, just to see if there were any Prefects. Instead, he heard a violin faintly playing near the lounge. Curious, he cautiously walked over to the source. Steven then sat down on a couch, in hopes of no Prefects coming in. After she finished, he slowly clapped. "That was amazing!" It didn't take him long to realize she was blind, by the way she used her hands to find objects. He didn't mean to stare, but he felt bad for her. Steven noticed some more people listening as well.

When Sasha finished she heard clapping. She was actually quite surprised. She hadn't expected to get any praise from it, maybe somebody telling her to shut-up, but not really praise. She smiled at the guy, even though she couldn't see him. "Thanks." She said. She never really thought her violin playing was amazing. She knew it was good, but there were still better and she wanted to be the best. She was blushing slightly.

Sasha wasn't used to praise from anybody but her dad. Even though she was only blushing a little bit it stood out because of her pale skin. Sasha tucked her violin back into the case along with the bow then wondered what she should say to the guy. The first thing that came to mind was violins becaus she just finished playing one, but the next thing she thought of was the future.

"What do you see yourself doing in the future?" She asked the guy, not even bothering to introduce herself. She never did. People would know her someday so why bother now? She always liked to know stuff about people, it was a good way to keep a conversation going. As long as they didn't yell in her ear or take her violin there was no problem with most people.

[Alex Ventresca]

Steven laid back, and stopped clapping. "You're really good! You must be filthy rich." When Sasha asked him what he would be doing int he future, he thought about it. He had never really thought about what he would be doing in the future, until she asked him. "I take it you're not used to hearing compliments?" Steven then thought some more, but couldn't come up with anything, except one. "In the future, I see myself using my powers for the better of mankind. Even though, many people are already messed up."

[taren9]

When Sasha heard the filthy rich she she chuckled slightly. She was hardly even close to being rich. She used to live in a normal sized house with just her father. They weren't rich. By the guys hesitation Sasha could tell that he wasn't all too sure on what he wanted to do in the future. "I take it you're not used to hearing compliments?" This made Sasha blush even more. "Not really." She replied with a slight chuckle.

When he replied with his answer Sasha smiled. "That's a great goal to reach for in the future." She told him with a slight nod of approval. "And I'm not rich." She stated. She didn't want to be rich either. Her father always said that money out greed in the hearts of the good so having money wasn't a big goal of hers at all. She slowly stood up then grabbed her violin case, which now had her violin and bow safely inside it.

"So what's your name?" She asked and walked over to where she had heard his voice orriginaly come from. She hoped he hadn't moved, otherwise she would just look stupid.

[Alex Ventresca]

He was relieved when she said she wasn't that rich. That meant that she wasn't a Prefect. He wasn't very rich either since he used to live in a 1 floor, bland house with 4 rooms. It sucked, but they had a basement, so it evened out the house. Steven noticed her blush, and smiled. "Well a musician such as yourself deserves more than just a few compliments, wouldn't you agree?"

"Its not so good if humanity is already damned. Since you asked what my goal was, its my turn to ask you what your goal is." It was good that she wasn't rich, or she would already have been turned into a Prefect. "Sorry if I ask, but how long have you been playing the violin?"

"The name's Steven, by the way"

[taren9]

This guy just kept making her blush. Sasha just wasn't used to being complimented by anybody but her dad and even when he complimented her she had always blushed a little bit. Sasha adjusted her gloves, making sure not to reveal the brass knuckles and smiled at the guy. "Don't be so quick to judge humanity as a whole, there's still lots of hope for a bright future." She told him with a slight smile.

He had asked her what she wante to do in the future. She had two goals, but since she didn't really want anybody to know she wa blind she chose to tell him the firs one. "I want to become the best violin player ever." She answered. It was quite far fetched for a blind girl, but she believed that she could accomplish it one day if she really tried. How long had she been playing the violin was what he asked.

Sasha thought for a moment, adding up all the years in he head. She started when she was five and she was sixteen now. "Around twelve years." She told him. She loved to play violin and playing for that long didn't come as a surprise to her. In fact, she expected to play violin for the rest of her life so it was more of a good thing than any. He then told her his name, Steven. She leaned forward and licked his cheek. He was a battlefront just as she was.

Steven was probably weirded out by her lickig him, but she had learned that he was a battlefront and not a perfect. Sasha and him could be friends considering how she too was a battlefront.

[Alex Ventresca]

"Would you like me to stop complimenting you? If I continue, I'm afraid your face will be too red for any one else to see. Humanity isn't exactly paradise. The government sent us here to isolate us and make us look like freaks. They did a pretty good job." Steven muttered the last sentence, so she can possibly hear

" That's a good goal! Perhaps one day, you'll achieve it. That day could be tomorrow, or a little later." I wonder why she's not making eye contact. Maybe she's....... nah. She couldn't beSteven quickly dismissed that thought and listened

"12 years, huh? That's a very long time. I used to play the cello for 4 years, until my cello broke under the intensity of my teachers strength. Because of that, the bow quickly ran out of rosin, and, surprisingly, caught on fire because of how fast he was playing it. We couldn't afford another one, so I stopped." Steven stopped when she licked his cheek. "Um.........." He couldn't think of a word to describe what just happened.

[taren9]

Sasha chuckled slightly. Then her face grew serious as he started talking about the government. "Even though the government sent us here doesn't mean that everybody thought it would be a good idea to put us here. You have to have think about everybody else, not just the terrible people." She told him. He was taking things to extremes. Not everybody in the world was damned.

Sasha was thinking about that when she heard him say that they did a pretty good job. She frowned even more at that. "We aren't freaks. If you believe that then you're wrong." She told him. She wasn't too fond of the word freak. Not too fond at all. She had been called a freak many times when she went into the city for her father, so she had grown accustomed to hearing it.

At Steven's reaction of Sasha licking him she laughed. "Don't get any ideas." She said with wink. "I simply needed to know how old you were and if you were a perfect, you're not." She said with utmost certainty. The different classes if the school all had a different taste and Sasha had become accustomed to each one. She licked most new people she met.

[Alex Ventresca]

You're right. Not every single person are guilty. Perhaps there are some kind souls in this world He spoke in her mind. "Also, I'm sorry that I called the people with powers freaks."

"Don't worry, I probably won't" He hesitated before saying an emotional sentence. "Are you............blind? I mean like you've never really made eye contact, and licked me before asking my age and....... what I am towards Prefects."

[taren9]

When Steven talked to her in her mind she wasn't at all surprised, it was a school for people with powers after all. Sasha nodded happily at that, considering how that was what she had wanted to hear from him. And then he apologized for calling the people with power freaks. Sasha just shrugged. "You believed that at the moment, and now you don't. I see nothing to apologize for," Sasha paused for a second and a slight smirk played across her face. "and some of the people here are pretty freaky." She giggled.

That was when Sasha heard his next words. "Are you blind?" She frowned and sighed at that. Everybody found out sometime. She let him finish bis statement before speaking. "Yes. I am blind. Always have been and probably always will be." She told him. Unless somebody knew how to give her pupils then she would always Be blind. She had accepted that fact a long time ago and learned to see in other ways.

Sasha wasn't always the one who accepted her being blind though. Sometimes when she met a new person and they figured out she was blind they went to extremes trying to get her to see. She hated extremeists so that was why she hated people finding out she was blind. It seemed that some people just went to extremes. She shrugged. "I'm fine with it though so don't worry." She said with a half smile.

[Alex Ventresca]

"I see you've adapted to what is here, and what is not." Steven ruffled her hair awkwardly. "Most are. " He chuckled when she giggled. It was, cute in a way, since he never heard a girl giggle before."
(Damn. I need a male friend xD)


"Sorry that you're blind. If I would, I would get you pupils. If you want, I could donate mines." He then bit his lip, when he accidently read her mind just when she finished her thoughts about extremists. "Um sorry."

[taren9]

When Steven ruffled her hair she kind of felt like that was a thing and older brother would do to a younger sibling. Well that was a new one. She had never had that happen before. She had never had an older nor younger sibling in her family before so the way he did that made Sasha smile. She wouldn't want him to go around doing that all the time though. That would be kind of weird.

When Steven offered hs pupils Sasha sighed and shook her head. If he were to not see then there would be no telling how he would get around, or how he would survive for that matter and Sahsa herself had gotten used to not seeing so it was fine for her. If she were to suddenly be able to see then it would be really overwhelming for her.

Then Steven said sorry. For a second she was really puzzled at what he was saying sorry for, but then she realized that if he could put words into her head then he could probably read her thoughts. This made her smirk. She'd have to be careful what she thought about around him. "No problem. You're just trying to help." She told him.

Sasha tried to think of what to say. She was kind of at a loss for words and she wanted to change the subject away from the awkward one they were on now. "How did you descover your powers?" She asked him and turned her face to him.
