"I dont think so Pious, you aint gonna make me hit you."
Drats, he figured me out. Pious noticed a flash of light outside the room and quickly fixed up. The door opened and Mr Dirigente walked directly towards Natoe. He glared at him for a long while and Pious wondered what was going on.
"Both of you. Sit down" he commanded, motioning towards two armchairs across the room. "Fighting." he said, glaring into Pious' eyes now. "In my school." He spoke with such authority that Pious' knees almost gave way. "I have zero tolerance for hoodlum" he emphasised, " If you want to behave like the common thugs outside, I will treat you like one." A small ball of fire grew from his palm and Pious got the message.
"Considering the extent of the damage to Ms Asbet's classroom, and the disturbances you have caused since you've met, I should exclude you both." A sudden wave of sheer regret swept over Pious' body. He felt like crying. "Give me a reason, not to."
natoe looked at pious and saw the fear on his face
"sir it's all my fault"
"pious is just a victom of ciromstance"
mr dirigenteturnd turned his full attion on natoe
"you see sir the thin is well erm"
"go on im listenig"
"well sir i saw my brother and he gave me a letter that made me angy"
"and i kinda tore that tree out side out off the ground"
"and the i hit pious in the head"
"so if you exclude any one it should me sir"
Without warning, a middle-aged man appeared around the corner, striding towards the three students standing by the lockers. His eyes narrowed as he caught sight of them and he marched up, coming to a military-style parade rest in front of the small group. They looked at him, startled at the appearance of someone in a Longbow uniform at school.
"You three! Why aren't you in class already?" he barked. "Get along now, or you will be reporting to me after school!"
As the man noticed the confused and slightly fearful expressions crossing the faces in front of him, his expression mellowed slightly. "New students? Very well, if you don't know where to go then I can direct you. You may call me Colonel Johnson - I teach Technology, and lecture on Freedom Corps, Longbow and Arachnos among other things."
(( doc, i think Lavender has been at the school for a few years ))
Jack looked slightly nervous "i was asking directions to the office sir, need to get my time table and room card, and um, Sparky here had fallen over" indicating the tall red headed girl.
Jack looked at the two girls hoping for a hint of agreement.
"I shouldn't have lost my temper." Mr Dirigente shifted his focus to Pious. "Please sir, give me another chance, I really want to learn."
Mr Dirigente folded his arms in a pose that reminded Pious' of his own father. A long silence, followed and Pious noticed as the headmaster assumed a stance; his shoulders were broad and his arms laid by his side, chest was high. Pious recognised this as the pose of a true hero.
"I'm suspending you for the rest the day." Pious' eyes widened. "At five o' clock this evening, I want you back here in my office for detention. You will write a three thousand word essay on Hero One; who he was and what he stood for. I'm banning you from accessing anything and anywhere but the library and your dormitories. Now get out of my office."
Ebola was looking at the musical instrument that had been "assigned" to him.
They expect me to play that.
I thought this was a school for super kids.
The trombone had obviously seen better days and looked as if somebody had used it as a club sometime in the past.
Why couldn't I have gotten the triangle, thats more my musical talents.
"We find this a good way for students to relax and do something different" said Ms Asbet's when she had assigned the instruments.
"I'm sorry about the condition of some of the instruments but the music department has not been high in the schools priorities over the last couple of years. My main job is providing guidence to any of you who have sonic abilities, but I thought you cant have a music department without any music.
Ebola looked round the room at the faces of the other students, this wasnt at what most of them expected for there first lesson at Paragon High.

((cool! a teacher))
Laura's eyes spun round in a death gaze at the teacher, but were hit by a indestructible wall. She had ignored the boy that was trying to talk to them, as he OBVIOUSLY didn't know that she couldn't even be SEEN talking to a BOY when she didn't have her make-up on properly.
Time for a bit of charm.
"I'm tho thorry, Colonel. I was just taking Lavender here to the ikkle girls room as she was feeling a little sick.", a slight nudge to Lavender's side re-affirmed that this was what she was supposed to agree with.
natoe and pious left mr dirigente's office and made their way to thier dorm.
"pious im sorry i called you a geek"
"and im sorry i hit and put u through a desk and chucked you out off the window"
"i gues i shouldnt have taken my temper out on you"
"and sorry i got you in trouble twice in one day"
natoe reached into his pocket and pulled out his ****.
"you want one?"
jack Looked slightly questioningly at Laura, then srugging turned to the Colonel "Could you take me to the office sir? i would really like to know what i am ment to have, Tyler was ment to be showing me round, but he gat a bleeper message and had to go"
"Now get out of my office."
NOOOoo.. Pious thought. I'll be stuck with this idiot for the whole day?! Dirigente, you suck!
+ I heard that Pious; that's four thousand for you. + Dirigente was inside his head.
Oh my god, he's a telepath! Thought Pious, and he ran out of the room.
* * *
Natoe was apologizing, but Pious ignored him. He lit up another cigarette and Pious rolled his eyes.
"You want one?"
"No!" he exclaimed. "Mrs Alexis said all forms of unhealthy drugs are forbidden from the school, I'd put that out if I were you."
There was the suggestion of a blink on the teacher's face at the childish voice coming from such a statuesque figure, but it was quickly masked. "Very well. If she doesn't feel any better in five minutes, take her to the nurse's office and then get back to class."
His eyes flickered down to the broken slab at the feet of the group and his lips pursed in a moue of disapproval before he turned his gaze to Jack.
"As you can see, your assistance, though well-intentioned I am sure, is not required. You may go - you can pick up your timetable and anything else you require from the reception desk by the entrance." He pointed back down the corridor with his hand as he spoke, then took one final look at the group and the floor before turning and heading off down the corridor at a fast step.
"pious dont snap at me i'm at the end off my rope"
"face it if i hadn't put my self up for the chop you and me would be packing our bags"
"so just cut me some slack okay"
"Whatever"
They turned around a corner and climbed a flight of stairs. Reaching the second floor, they searched for their dormitary.
The smile dropped from Lavender's face as suddenly as it had come. She had been more than ready to put up with this girl, purely because she was taller, stronger and obviously far more attractive, but her last comment took the proverbial biscuit.
Make-up?! Laura was expecting her to wear make-up? No, not just expecting her to, but offering to apply it for her. Bloody hell, she thought, two words she never would've dared be caught saying, I'm being patronised by an elevel year old. Lavender wasn't young and silly as this girl appeared to be; she was bright...possibly too bright for her age, and not interested in make-up. Especially not interested in boys as any more than classmates, friends or relatives.
"No thank you, I don't wea--"
She was cut short by the appearance of a boy around her own age. Another giant student. Lavender blushed furiously, the way she always did whenever a member of the opposite sex appeared...not because she had any interest in them, simply because they were sshh, boys. Craning her neck upwards once again (and hoping to god she could escape soon and talk to some normal height people, or even better...ignore everyone) she looked over the newcomer. The shock of white hair came as a bit of a...surprise; she'd seen all number of rainbow colours in students' hair over the years, but never such bright white.
Though he was addressing Laura, Lavender spoke. For some reason, possibly known only to Laura...she hadn't responded at all. "She's fine, we're fine...we were just goin--"
Jesus Christ! She exclaimed silently. Yet another person had turned up to block all routes of escape. Lavender was at the end of her tether, and was quite ready to create a scene just so she could get away from the crowd; until, of course, she had spun around to greet the face of this outsider.
A teacher.
She had her apologies lined up and ready to spill off of her tongue, but before she could remind the Colonel that he'd actually met her before and that she was one of the better students in terms of attendance, she felt a sharp nudge to the ribs. Laura had obviously intended this to grab her attention, but she can't have known her own strength. Gasping for air, and running one hand down her side trying to discern if any ribs were broken, as she feared, she caught the last few words of what was intended of her.
Oh no. Oh nonono. She wasn't sick, and she wasn't about to lie to a teacher. No. She'd set them all straight and keep her close to perfect student record.
But he had already believed the taller girl; and wandered off to find some other poor students to intimidate.
Lavender grinned. She was filled with a sense of mischeiviousness; and though she promised herself she'd set things right later on, she found she felt no guilt whatsoever. Ha. Maybe the old goody-two-shoes act was getting old?
"Laura, you said you had some make-up?"
natoe and pious arived at their dorm.
::203::
::Natoe James Adams::
::Pious Hunter::
natoe swiped his card and walked in the dorm as poius was walking through the door natoe slamed it shut.
"sooo sorry pious forgot you were behind me"
jumping on is bed natoe noticed his letter on the floor and grabed it and shoved it in his pocket.
'i hope that little runt didn't see it'
he thought to himsef
"keep to your side and i'll keep to mine"
Laura grinned mischeviously as she watched the Teacher depart and Lavender's attention drawn away from the departing crowd.
"So you like that lad, do you?", she motioned towards Jack's retreating body.
Laura gripped Lavender's hand, almost jumping with glee, "Let's get you made up", she smiled, half dragging Lavender to the toilets with her. "I've a feeling we're both going to be good friends."
Perhaps today wasn't gonna be so bad after all...
"Whatever" he replied. Idiot. He slammed that door on me on purpose! Noticing Natoe's possessions all around the room, he added "when the hell did you come in here?"
Without waiting for an answer, Pious set about exploring the room.
"Theres only one toilet and shower. We're expected to share."
"after i had a fight with a tree"
"yea look like we gotta share"
"so whats your story then why you here?"
"You're a nutcase you know that.. you shouldn't go about taking your anger out on invisible kids and defenceless trees." Pious said. "What in gods name did that letter say anyway."
"lets just say my dad got him self locked up again"
"Your dad's a criminal?!" Pious asked. "You better be careful you dont turn out the same way, or else you'll be recieving Dirigente's fireball."
"yer u might off heard off him"
"Saber Tooth"
"the last time i saw him i was 11 he said he was goin straight"
"but as usual he had to do one last job"
"Oh my god, Saber Tooth is your dad?" Pious asked. "Dude, thats not a good rep" he added, now lying on his bed. "having said that, my elder brother Jackson ran away from home the other week, Mum says he's joined the Trolls."
