"I'm glad I could help..." Max responds. He pulls back, removing his hands from my face, and I can't help wondering why it is that I'm disappointed... Just me being silly I guess, but he has such soft hands. So gentle, and kind...

I reach up to push my hair back from my face and look up, biting my lip as I hear his next question.

"You get headaches like that a lot? Your powers?"

Swallowing, I shrug slightly. "Not usually that bad, but a headache is pretty normal after an hour in the simulation room..." I admit softly. "It's my own fault, or so the professors tell me - I don't practice the other side of my powers - other than telekinesis that is - enough..."

My reference to the mind control is vague, but I'm pretty sure he'll understand what I mean - he knows enough about my powers...

"I just...really hate using it..." I continue in the same manner as before. "The telekinesis is okay, but the professors always want me to use the other... They say that if I don't practice it, my mind won't be able to get used to it, and it's the lack of practice which causes the headaches - I'm straining myself to use it when I have to..." I struggle to try and explain, shaking my head. "Usually it's not quite so bad though, a couple of painkillers, my bed and an early night and I'm sorted my morning... I guess he had me do a bit more than normal today though..."

Looking around, my gaze falls on the books which lie around me haphazardly and I look back to Max. "Sorry about that by the way..." I apologise, gesturing to the mess I managed to make.

~Tess~

"Oh, it's on," He jokes and I laugh, "You bet." I say and he gently pushes me down off his chest so he can sit. He looks at me, his eyes penetrating, "Tess, I know we sort of just met today, but would you, I don't know, want to go out with me some time?" He askes and I can't help the smile that forms on my face, "I'd love, too." I say still grinning.

Nick

I hold my breath while I wait for her answer, and don't let it out until I see the smile on her face and hear, "I'd love to." Oh, thank god. Again, this day seems to be going well.

"Of course, you'd have to decide where, since I don't know my way around...we could even go out tonight or something?"

[Dreamer_Dreaming]

~Riley~

Kyle kisses me will all the passion her has inside of him, begging to get out. He makes us fall back as he lays on top me. I can see him more closely now and up close he is cuter.

Kyle pulls away from lips so he can speak, "Your driving me insane messing with my hair like that. I like it." He said with a smile before kissing me again. I kiss back as I place my hands on his upper back. I am rubbing my hands against his skin. I don’t know rubbing his skin makes me turn on by him, and I know he is not doing much but kissing me. But I don’t know what it is…I think is lust is in the air.

The only thing that is separating us is his boxers, and my panties. Yup that’s the only thing. I hope this experience is more meanful. Most girls, that I know, told me they wish their first time was special, but wasn’t.

~Tess~

"Of course, you'd have to decide where, since I don't know my way around...we could even go out tonight or something?" He says and my smile just gets bigger.

"Ok." I tell him and inside i'm doing my happy dance. "Um, is there something particular you want to do?" I ask, "Like a movie....dinner....?"

[Zansgirl]

~Kyle~

Kissing me back, she places a hand on my upper back. Rubbing her hand against my skin and I can feel the warmth coming from them. I break the kiss and look down at her with a smirk. I lightly kiss her lips, her neck, down her body until I reach the waistband of her underwear. I look up and ask her with my eyes, for permission. I really, don't want to rush her into anything. And I don't want to make her do anything she doesn't want to do. I don't want to hurt her. If I did, I would never forgive myself.

*Max*

Oh right. The mind-control stuff, I realize as Liz starts to talk about the 'other' side of her powers. She's almost trembling as she makes her oblique references, finally apologizing for the mess.

"It's no problem," I tell her. It'll be easy enough to fix. Just a bunch of books. I stoop and start to pick up a couple of them, stacking them back on the cart. "But I think I know how you feel. I'm not that comfortable with the ... um ... reverse side of my powers, either. I guess I'm lucky I don't get side-effects from not using it."


*Maria*

"Hey, you wanna go somewhere? We could take a ride in the car, and you could show me around town or something," Jess says.

"Yeah, I'd really like that," I tell him, with a smile. I surprise myself at the tone of my voice. Soft and excited but almost shy. Why is this simple offer making me feel so ... special? "I'll show you all around."

~Liz~

I can't help smiling as Max assures me the mess is no problem. As he picks up some of the books, he begins to tell me that he understands a little about how I feel, and while with anyone else I would probably think they had no idea, I know, just from looking at him that he does. "I'm sorry..." I comment softly, nodding as I bend down to pick up a couple of books myself before looking back at him. "I-I think the worst thing is that I'm in this school, with all these other people that can do stuff, and yet even here, sometimes I'm looked at like I'm a monster..." I find myself explaining, although I don't really know why because I never talk about this stuff, not even to Maria...

I shrug awkwardly as I trail off, trying not to think about it and turning my attention back to the books on the floor. Now that my headache is gone, I think I might just be able to deal with that more quickly. I flash a smile at Max as he reaches for another book and shake my head. "It's okay, I got it..." I tell him with a wink, steppping back slightly so that I can see them all before lifting up with my mind and sending them back, a couple at a time, to the trolly where they were stacked before.

*Max*

I step back and watch as Liz sorts the books back onto the cart. It looks so effortless and fun. I'm almost envious, but I've seen how much she fears the other things she can do and the pain she's caused herself. I know it's not fun.

She talks about being percieved as a monster, and I find myself looking at my shoes for a moment. I'm a monster, too. These hands can hurt people in ways that I don't even like to think about. That's why they call me a Dark Angel.

I will admit that I've been a little afraid of Liz and her powers, knowing how easily they could be abused, but now that I've seen into her heart. She's so beautiful and gentle and kind and scared. I know she'd never do that. Never take advantage of anyone for her own amusment.

"I'm sorry," I tell her, not just in sympathy for her feelings but also in apology for my earlier un-ease.

"I think everyone here has powers that could be really dangerous if abused. That's why the Professor is always on about 'control'," I shrug. "But with that one, your other power, -- I know it has to be very hard." It's hard to think of a way that it could be used to HELP someone at all -- unless that person was about to jump off a bridge or something.

Not knowing whatelse to do, I reach over and gently touch her hand.
"I trust you."

[KatnotKath]

~Liz~

"I'm sorry..." Max says, before going on to talk about how everyone's powers could be abused. It's true of course, but you don't see people backing away from Maria at times, and no one has a problem being in a room alone with Tess...

I know I probably sound petulant there, and that's not the way I mean it, but it's true... People accept that they can control it, or choose not to use it to hurt anyone...

I guess mind control is one of those things people naturally fear - to think that someone could make you do something you don't want to... It's also one of those powers which has to some extent been explored, and not in a very positive manner, on the tv in films and other programmes.

Everyone's seen the cartoons where the bad guy tries to take over the world by taking over the people's mind... It plays on the fears of children, and unfortunately, I have to deal with that every day... I sigh and shake my head, biting my lip, and then stiffening for a moment as he reaches over and touches my hand.

"I trust you..."

Three small words, yet three words which mean so much... My hand relaxes as I look up at him, searching for a sign that he's going to take this back any minute, and yet finding none.

"Thank you..." My response is equally short, coming over as little more than a whisper as I give a more genuine smile than I have probably managed in days if not weeks. "That means a lot..."

Finding myself in what is a somewhat unfamiliar position, I'm not really sure what to say, or do next, and for a moment I lapse into silence, a silence which is broken by the chiming of the grandfather clock which stands on the far wall. It's getting late, I hadn't realised the time... "I-uh...guess I should be going..."

Turning, I make as though to leave, but hesitate before stepping away, looking back on impulse. "Max... I was going to get myself some coco and a biscuit or something to take back to my room..." I blush slightly, knowing it sounds silly and hesitating about going any further but press on. "I uh...don't suppose you'd like to join me...? I mean you don't have to, I just though...maybe...maybe we could talk some more - if you wanted...?"

I'm sure that my cheeks are burning as I finish and I look away, not sure I want to see him laugh in my face. "Sorry, it was probably a bad idea...and the coco probably sounds stupid, it's just something I like to do after...you know...?" I gesture vaguely to where the books were all scattered a moment earlier and shake my head. "I guess I find it kinda comforting or something..."
