Julianna Camione 17 Empathy

I know you're here...

Ricky took another spoonful of the ice cream. He was trying to hide his emotions, but they weren’t working out. He leaned in. He hoped that if she didn’t feel the same way, he could just pretend that he was getting his jacket or something. But he didn’t want her not to feel the same way. He wanted her to decide if she wanted to kiss him or not. So he leaned in slowly.

Julianna could see the color of emotion going from affection to embarrassed and she wasn't sure what to do. Should she speak up and try to tell him that it's okay? Though, to her surprise, she didn't want to say that it's okay, she just wanted to tell him how she felt. When she saw him leaning in, she hesitated for a second, unsure if this was really happening, before she decided to go for it.

The first step to control is understanding yourself and that is what my weapons classes is all about. The other teachers instruct you on defense, but my class focuses on controlling your body and controlling your mind, it teaches focus and understanding of yourself and the challenges you could face. You cant settle a mind without settling the body. 

[julianna-campione]

That's not how it works. My power might as well be the opposite of possession. Emotions, feelings, they take control of me. Everyone was having fun with the exorcise, they were pretending to stab imaginary 'bad' guys. They were getting into it and they were having fun. So much fun and I couldn't keep to myself. They're emotions took me over and I stabbed you and I'm sorry because I can't do this.

"Stabbing people" was not what that exercise was about… It was about control and aim, either of which you had or even have.

[julianna-campione]

Well some people got a little too into it. It wasn't my fault. In fact, I shouldn't even be taking classes like that. I should be taking classes that help me better control my powers. I don't want any other classes. I just want to control myself!

Ricky started laughing along with Juliannna. He hadn’t laughed this much in a long time, and he liked it a lot. It’s very fun, indeed. 

[julianna-campione]

Julianna smiled and took a deep breath, feeling weird because for once she wasn't feeling nervous or cautious about what she should say or do, she just felt comfortable. However, after taking that deep breath, she noticed a scent in the air. Growing albeit flustered at the realization, she looked down and took another spoonful of ice cream. Yup, very fun.

Like I said, not risking student sabatoge on a teacher who gave them a bad grade for launching a knife into the instructors hip… 

[julianna-campione]

Oh my god, that was one time, I've gotten better at stabbing people. If you want we can test my stabbing skills, right here, right now.

You’re the one who came in here, darling, I was just minding my own

[julianna-campione]

It usually takes at least an hour for laundry to get done, you don't have to be here the whole time.

[sensible-ricky]

I know you're here...

[sensible-ricky]

Ricky didn’t mind of what Julianna did because he does the same thing. He noticed how embarrassed she was, and decided not to make her feel anymore embarrassed. He laughed, "No, no I didn’t see that. But, hey, you don’t need to feel embarrassed around me because just look at me. Ricky did weird gestures.

I don’t judge. I’m weird, and if you are my friend then you are crazy. Crazy because you actually stick around my presence. 

[julianna-campione]

Julianna tried to suppress her giggles by covering her mouth with her hand but just ended up laughing. "Yeah? Well, I guess I don't mind be crazy, especially since it's fun."

[sensible-ricky]

I know you're here...

[sensible-ricky]

Ricky took a spoonful of the ice cream, and ate it slowly. He wanted to enjoy the moment. He loved ice cream, even in winter. This tastes amazing, right?

[julianna-campione]

Julianna smiled and took a spoonful of the ice cream and just shoved it into her mouth. It may have been a while since she's had ice cream. Oh my god it's so good. She mumbled, though, realizing what she'd just done, she looked at him with embarrassment clear on her features. You didn't see that.

[black-as-kohl-blog]

That’s your definition of fun? Darling, you must get out more.

[julianna-campione]

There are multiple definitions of fun in my vocabulary. But there is only one definition for the statement go away.

And have you throw a red sock in with my white button downs, no darling, I will be staying until my laundry is clean and pressed.

[julianna-campione]

Julianna cracked a small smile. As fun as that sounds, I'm not in mood to do anything like that, but thanks for the idea.

[sensible-ricky]

I know you're here...

[sensible-ricky]

Ricky smiled, and got the two spoons. He gave one to Julianna. Shall we dig in?

[julianna-campione]

Julianna smiled and set the icecream on the counter so both of them could have easy access. Yes, yes we shall.

However, the time is ticking. Doesnt a student like yourself have better things to do than hang out in the laundry room lounge watching reality tv and arguing with an old man.

[julianna-campione]

Unfortunately for you, no, I have nothing better to do. So it looks like you're stuck with me, unless, of course, you leave. 

[sensible-ricky]

I know you're here...

[sensible-ricky]

Ricky smiled, trying to hide his excitement. "Hand me the mint chocolate chip."

"Which flavor do you want?"

[julianna-campione]

Julianna smiled when she saw the color of a dark pink practically bubbling off of Ricky. "Grab two spoons cause we're sharing the mint chocolate chip."

Then why dont you head off to bed? Surely you’re aware of the school’s lights out policy…

[julianna-campione]

Julianna rolled her eyes and shifted so that she could look at Kohl. I'm fully aware of the policies, sir, and because of that I know that I haven't broken any rules since I've been sitting here.

[black-as-kohl-blog]

[black-as-kohl-blog]

I’m sorry if you feel offended, but I hardly see how anything I have said could possibly have gotten you so snarky

[julianna-campione]

Groaning in annoyance, Julianna laid back and covered her hands with her face. Just stop okay? I know I'm being bitchy but it's because I'm tired and I'm really not in the mood for a educational conversation at midnight with one of my professors.

It should be twice as more compelling coming from an immortal… Tell me, what has got you so snippy?

[julianna-campione]

Well it's not 'twice as more compelling'. And I'm not being snippy, you're being rude.

[black-as-kohl-blog]

I hate winter...

[black-as-kohl-blog]

Touche. No need to be so rude, darling, life is much too short.

[julianna-campione]

Julianna could smell the annoying scent of sarcasm and scoffed. That's rich coming from an immortal mutant.
