Should I Yell "Fire" Now? [Open]

[Deleted]

All things about this little group 'chat' they had going on was going to blow up in her face sooner or later. Mainly the thing with making Zane jealous... Its not like they were official or anything. Maybe that had been why she wanted confirmation o the he was her's front? But that didn't really explain why she got so jealous if they weren't... Damn this sucked when you really liked someone. And if the only good thing to come out of it at the moment was the girl not trying to attack the still terrified boy on the couch again. Appearing to be on the look out for something new to do she watched the girl go over to the bean bag for a moment before looking at him. "Hey are you feeling any better? What's your name?" she saw the shake of his head but she still didn't want him shaking like a leaf. Oh well he made his decision, "He doesn't want the help Zane," she said quietly crossing her arms before looking at him sitting on the floor. 

Next thing Bridget knew that Melody was at his side again. This time devouring his food, "There is this little thing called manors. It's kinda where you ask someone for food instead of taking it right off their tray." okay that she couldn't help but saying. Se would have said even if the girl happened to be on her good side. Because really it was just plain rude. At least Zane didn't seem to bothered with it, even pushing the tray towards her. Still she shouldn't have just started shoving it down her throat Bridget thought sighing lightly and taking a seat back on the couches arm. 

She looked at the boy for a minute kind of in disbelief that he was still here after all she was off of him he could bolt. But he hadn't so far which was fairly interesting. "Cravings?" she asked looking down at the girl in the floor. There were many reasons she could have cravings but the ways she said it made Bridget wonder which one was the cause of hers.

Drew shifted uncomfortably as a slightly more calmed feeling overcame him. He could only figure that the other boy was sound this to him. He flinched a bit as the girl asked his name. "D- Drew..." She stammered lightly. As for the other girl, he watched in awe as she devoured the boy's tray half way. When she said cravings, he could think of very few possibilities as to why. Sone he didn't want to think of.

He figured he would let the calm girl and boy know he was thankful for the help. Rubbing his hands together the small flame ignited as he waved his free hand over it. The flame formed into a shape like a ribbon bow. Blowing the flame at the girl he nodded. The ashes that surrounded her would give off a feeling pride and gratitude.

Getting up he crept to the other boy, and started igniting another flame. He shaped this one into a box shape with a bow on top. Blowing the tiny present as its ashes surrounded the other boy. The ashes were the same as the girl's, pride and gratitude would flow through the boy. He quickly shuffled back to his seat.

Melody looked at the other girl cheerfully despite her reprimanding. "Cravings!" She said between a mouthful of who-knows-what. "I have been soooo hungry after it all!" She said referring to her powers, not knowing they could easily think she was actually pregnant. Another dummy moment down!

She looked on as the cutie blew a fire at the girl, then the other boy. She had an amazed look as her eyes grew wide with how cool the cutie's power was. He made the fire look like shapes other than a ball of flame! Wow that was so cool! She stood up to lean on the counter she crouched against.

"I need more..." She whined upsettedly. "I need mucher and mucher to satisfy this!" She said patting her belly lightly with a light smile. Some would have tried to explain by now at least, others would have stayed quiet from the beginning. Melody was neither of those some. Melody was pretty much an orange in an apple orchard.

Oh! So the silent boy speaks at last! And here Zane was starting to think that the guy was some kind of mute- apparently not. That was all for the best, as long as he was only silent out of choice it wasn't a total lost cause trying to get him to talk. From the lack of resistance he was getting from the boy, it didn't seem like he was completely uninterested in a bit of help. The kid even managed to fork out a name, claiming to be Drew- no stutter included. He kept the calming emotion up for a little longer, but did let it fade away since he had silently refused help.

Being only 12 when he had been forced into the Academy, Zane wasn't too much aware of how the female craving system worked. He just figured the girl was like any guy and acquired weird tastes every now and then for some large meal or whatever randomly. Sure there had been a health class about the whole 'birds and bees' issue but he'd still been young then and quite frankly wasn't interested in learning about the topic at the time.

Was there something about the way he acted that simply drew people to approach him? A second unfamiliar presence made it's way over to him cautiously- the boy. Feeling the subtle change in temperature of the air, he shied away. Sneezing at the ashes he felt his own emotions being manipulated, did this kid posses the same powers as he did? Probably not or he would have known forcing Zane to feel anything would just cause him pain. He didn't let it last very long, it was a warm, grateful emotion with a touch of pride, but it still made him flinch before shoving the feelings to the side. 'Idiot' The word was thought, but not said aloud as Zane glared at Drew through piercing silver eyes. The guy was probably unaware of his fine-tuned connection to everyone within a certain radius, but it still annoyed the hell out of him to have his own emotions messed with without consent.

Everyone seemed to be so freaken rude today. The girl with her scarfing, the boy with his forcing, what was next? Oh, more food, of course. Whatever, Zane wouldn't let such trivial matters irk him too much. He had quite the long line of patience when it came to these sort of little things that would pile up. "By all means, go ahead, there's more food in the Dining Hall. We'll take care of your precious Honey Buns." Of course when he said take care of he actually meant encourage to get the hell out of there before she came back.

She smiled softly at Drew. "Hey Drew, i'm Bridget." Even though Zane's calming seemed to work he was still a bit jumpy. After all he flinched when she asked for a simple thing like his name. Oh well either she really messed him up or he was just naturally like this. She kinda felt bad for both. She watched curious as to what he was doing. Rubbing his hands together suddenly. Hmm he created a small flame and then continue to shape it. "That's pretty cool." She said as he blew it towards her. The little bow burned out and she felt the gratitude and some pride fill her. She smiled a minute glad she did the right thing.

She waited for Zane's reaction wondered how he would respond to having someone else mess with his emotions. Not like she could do anything about the little present already in the air and over to him. She gave a short laugh at his sneeze and just shook her head as he glared. He really was different when you weren't one on one with him. "Don't feel too bad." She said glancing at Drew. "He's just sensitive to emotions." Not to mention grumpy around groups as it seems. She added in her mind.

When she started to whine about more food Bridget couldn't believe it. She had just downed half of Zane's food and still wanted more. Wow that girl could put away food. Bridget was about to say she should go get some and quit whining but Zane beat her to it. Still she nodded along, "Yeah go get some food, hell i'll even go with you." Bridget had no idea why she added that last part, almost regretting it after a moment. But maybe if she could get her to go then maybe Drew could make his grand escape.

[tickley]

Drew nodded as the girl nearest to him complimented his capability to manipulate fire into differing shapes. He was glad that she explained the other boy's sensitivity to emotions. Drew was nearly the same way, though he could only pick up emotions without his fire. He actually didn't want the little perky girl to leave, despite his recent assault from her. He would be quite fine with her still, however surprising it may seem.

He sighed lightly as he once again ignited his flame. With quick skill he shaped it into what would seem to be a knot, although it could look different to some people. He stood and went to the other girl, blowing the flame as the ashes settled on her. He tilted his head quickly as he wondered if his emotion got through to her. It was supposed to be a feeling of a friendly bond, and slight regret.

Mel just looked at them all as they looked at her. Although when the girl offered to go with her to get more food she couldn't resist. She opened her mouth to speak, bur Drew had come over to her. He did his little fire trick on her and she felt the feelings that the ashes portrayed. She had a strong feeling that Drew wanted to be friends. It's not like she could let that offer go with such ease.

"I would love to be your friend Drew!" She cried out happily as she grappled him in a sweet hug. She realized how hungry she was once again at that point, and wanted to get to the cafeteria. She quickly grabbed Drew's hand in her's and started out if the room intent on food. The last thing seen of the two opposites was Drew's face with a light smile and a last wave of his hand as the door closed behind. Two down, two to go.

Sensitive to emotions? Guess that would be one way to put it, though it didn't really sound right to him. Zane wasn't sensitive to emotions per say, he just couldn't keep from feeling them. Hmm, well maybe it was the same thing. There must be a better way to describe his situation somewhere but for the time being it alluded him. Forced perhaps? That didn't sound right either.. meh, he just shrugged it off indifferently. He didn't mind if Drew felt a bit bad, that whatever he did caused a bit of pain.

There wasn't much time for him to form much of a response however, soon both the boy and girl were strolling out happily together. That situation sure had performed an impressive 180 degree turn. Either his powers over emotions were more powerful and effective than he thought, keeping the boy calm even after he severed the connection, or Drew was just fickle. Yeah, the boy was defiantly fickle. With his food devoured now and the strange couple gone, he didn't really have any reason to stick around. With the extra time he now had by skipping most of his vanished meal he could just head back to his room for a quick nap.

Getting up carefully, he resisted the usual stretch performed after standing. He wasn't exactly sure if the girl had taken the tray with her or simply left it somewhere when she finished devouring everything so he left that matter alone for the janitors. The last obstacle he had to face was on how to leave. There was still skepticism on if Bridget still desired to be with him, he couldn't tell what her emotions were unless he made them his own- blocking out the others. It... may bother him just a little to hear her being flirtatious with someone else right in front of him, but he was resolved not to let it effect him too much. The past, that's all it was he would tell himself.

Not fully sure on what action would be the best to depart with, Zane sort of just waved awkwardly before announcing his intentions. "I'll head out for my room as well then. See you later?"
