“Really? I would have never guessed that. It might help if you got that whole chatting with yourself thing sorted out though.” For the first time, she cracked the mildest smirk at her own quip but it disappeared quickly as she stored her schedule inside her bag. “There wasn’t a mention of a roommate on my schedule. But judging by the ‘3′ starting on my dormitory number, I’m guessing I’m on the third floor.”

“Trust me--I’ve been trying.” Adrian mused with a sigh, chuckling at the other. “Charming and fiery. What a winning combination.” No roommate? Lucky. “Enjoy the solitude while you can, they always match up roommates as quickly as they can.” He stuck his hands in his pockets. “Well, if you want, I can show you to your dorm. Or you can wonder aimlessly through the halls, your choice.” But he started down a hallway regardless. “My name’s Adrian, by the way. Since you--you know--never asked.”

She pressed her lips together, cheeks getting warm. Why was she so weird? “Frankenstein?” She perked up slightly. “That’s a great book. I love the classics.” She nodded. “I was talking about my obsession with my reading chart. I’m aware this isn’t the most typical of places.” She had the headaches as a nice reminder after all. “So Adrian, how are your classes treatin’ ya?” Changing the subject was probably for the best.

“It’s the only one I ever really liked.” Adrian replied with a shrug, leaning back in his seat. The change of subject didn’t go unnoticed, but he made no comment on it--his brows furrowing slightly. “As well as one can expect. I don’t like them--I do them anyway. I’d ask how your’s are going but given your burnout, I’m going to assume the worst.”

“With that mouth, you don’ strike me as someone who needs it any how,” Betsy fired back. He had said he’d been here for a month though, so that was long enough in her eyes, unless this place was a lot bigger than what she had seen thus far. “Suits me. The dorms. Where are they?”

“Hmm-charming. In my defense, I’ve been told that this mouth gets me into trouble---I may need that vote more than you might think.” He paused, head canting to the right. “Is there a please?” The corner of his mouth twitched up into a faint grin. “Second and third floor, depends on where you’re assigned. Know who your roommate is? That’ll help.”

“You don’t need to. I’m the best one, remember?” She flashed him a smile and shook her head at his mini assessment the novel. “What are you reading?” She rolled her eyes playfully, wide grin pulling at her lips.”Okay, okay. I’m incorrigible.” Not like he was wrong though. “You’re absolutely right though. Rescue me from the mundane!”

“So you keep reminding me.” He paused, reaching for the nearby novel to flip through its pages absentmindedly. “Frankenstein, actually. Old favorite that I dusted off.” Adrian shot her a look. “Look at where we are--’mundane’ isn’t the first word I’d reach for.”

“It’s either that or ‘everyone’s screwed, take people down with you when you go’,” Celeste added.

“Cheerful,” said Irma, making a face.

Esme examined her own nails idly. “I’m sure you intended to be blithely dismissive, but you don’t want an honest answer to that question.”

“I don’t make a habit of dragging people down, that’s their own problem.” His gaze moved from sister to sister as they spoke.

“Aw, come on. If I didn’t want an honest answer, I wouldn’t have asked. Besides, I bet your answer will be an entertaining one if nothing else.”

✵           Well, that was really something. The British man raised a single eyebrow as if he had heard the stupidest thing on Earth. Then he shook his head and waved his hand, refusing the offer, and ignoring the impolite suggestion.

“Suit yourself.” Adrain pushed the food away regardless, save for a roll he pulled apart--seemingly for no reason other than the act of doing so. “You’re quiet, aren’t you?”

“You!  You’ll do!”  Tabitha scooted quickly over to the person she had just pointed out.  “Hi, how are you, actually I don’t care but if anyone asks we’ve been having this conversation for the last ten minutes, ok?”

[newfxundstrength-blog]

A brow slowly arched as the blonde suddenly appeared next to Adrian. “Yeah, right--why do I get the sneaking suspicion that I’m going to regret playing along with this?”

“Bad decisions and the men who make them? But that implies something you may not be able to measure up to. I wouldn’t want you to strain yourself overmuch.”

“Don’t you know? Bad decisions make for good stories. Besides, I’m no stranger to those. Think I’ll get that copyrighted.” He scoffed, a brow arching. “Well, little spitfire, aren’t you?

✵          The smell of food was like torture. Even though being composed of psionic energy could seem pretty cool (and useful), it was not all flowers. Jono missed eating, the taste of food, the feeling of chewing. He was slowly cared away by the not so distant memories of simple things like chips and other treats that he didn’t notice that he was staring too much at someone else’s food.

[newfxundstrength-blog]

Adrian picked at his food, clearly distracted by something--likely his own thoughts. Per usual. It took him a second to even notice the other student staring at him--or rather, the plate in front of him. “If you want a bite, you can ask. Or better yet, you can have your own if you go buy it.”

“Sure you will,” Betsy retorted, finally looking up from the half sheet of paper. “In the meantime, maybe you can help me out with something, if you’re not also new around here too, that is.”

“I appreciate the vote of confidence.” Now Adrian rolled his eyes. At her almost request, his gaze dropped to the paper in her hands. “Define ‘new’. I’ve only been here a month or so myself. What do you need help with?”

“That’s because I’m not a fan of people starin’ at me.” Johnny noted, slipping his cigarette between his lips to take a long drag, taking a moment to feel the burn in his lungs, before exhaling. “So if you really want to give this I was here first argument a burl then that’s aces for you.”

“Noted. I get the impression you aren’t a fan of a lot of things. It is just a first impression however. Then again, they do say they are the ones that last.” Adrian cocked his head to the right, gaze bouncing between the cigarette and the other student. “As much fun as arguments are--I think I’ll give this one a pass. Just keep the smoke pointed that way, yeah?”

“You perceived that risk, and then you bravely barged right ahead anyhow. The documentary on your life is truly going to inspire,” the sisters replied.

“I tend to do that. It’s a gift and a curse really.” Adrian fired back, arms folding across his chest as he spoke. “So I’ve been told. Still working on a title for it though. Thoughts? Five heads are better than one after all.”

Besty’s eyes were on her newly issued course schedule as she replied, “Do you make a habit of talking to yourself, or has it something to do with your mutation?”

Adrian fought the urge to roll his eyes, but only barely. “I ask myself that same question sometimes. When I figure the answer out, I’ll get back to you.”

“I am the best dork you will find around these parts.” She giggled and tossed her science fiction novel at him. “You wanna pick it up next? It’s great. Lots of alien brains. And to answer your question, I think the headaches have been getting to me. These babies need to rest too.” She did the Batman dance quickly and grinned.

“Big part of that due to the fact that I haven’t found any other dorks.” He pointed out with a brief grin, catching the novel, turning it over in his hands. “Sounds riveting. I’m in the middle of a book right now, but I’ll keep this one in mind.” His mouth opened in a quiet ‘ah’, Adrian moving to set the book to the side. “And your idea of rest and relaxation is a library?” He questioned, gesturing to their surroundings. “You need to get out more, Kitty.”

[newfxundstrength-blog]

prydeintheshadows:

“Hello Adrian.” She smirked and closed her book. “Quite the contrary. I’m the biggest Science dork you’ll find. Doesn’t mean I don’t need the respite though.”  

“Kitty.” He greeted her with a brief nod and wave. “What? You saying you don’t love the endless testing, studying, and sleepless nights? What kind of dork are you?”

“Well, I don’t recall calling you over for a chat, mate, so this one seems like self-inflicted annoyance if anything. You could always just go wank off somewhere else but you’re not. Not my problem.”

“And I seem to recall you being the one to speak up first, mate.” Adrian retorted, brow arching as he moved to lean against the wall. “And I was here first, if memory serves. So, if anyone here is welcome to ‘wank off’, that’d be you, sunshine.”

“At the risk of sounding like a total ass---I think that’s the worst idea I’ve heard in weeks.”
