Her heart fluttered at his smile. She jerked her head to where she
had previously exited. "That's the dorm, if you're wondering." She
grinned up at him. "You want to head into town? I hear they sell
great apples. I brought money if you don't have any." She pulled a
brown leather wallet from out of her pouch strung around the belt
of her skirt.
She nearly jumps out of her seat when he speaks to her. What do
I say? What do I say?[/] She attempts to smile but ends up looking
almost pained. "H... Hello, Draco right?" She says quietly.
[I]IDIOT!!! You knew his name and yet you still asked...
Stupid... She fixes her smile and makes it look less pained.
"Ugh yeah, my names Draco. Are you okay Seraphina? Cause you kinda
look pained and well lets also just say 'jumpy'" Draco said as
polite as possible. "So what are you doing here?" He asked. He was
looking at what Seraphina was looking at before "That's kinda
cool, I guess, maybe. I don't know anymore." He thought
He nodded. "Yeah, just hang on." He quickly went to unpack his
things. He set them all away and sighed, taking a quick look of the
room before exiting. "And I do have money." He said, pulling a few
dollars folded together tightly out of his pocket. "Okay, let's
go."
Seraphina sighs and gathers her thoughts trying to not be as
nervous. "I... I'm very shy... I don't... Communicate well..." She
turns and stares at the ground. You're shy? Well, I guess no one
could ever tell... You do an amazing job at hiding it... Hey, maybe
he has a power too... Ask him if he has one? Do it! She clears
her throat before asking. "Do you have a power?" Haha! Idiot! Of
course he has a power! Why else would he be here!
"I can tell your very shy and yes, I do have a power. I can create
pure energy" Draco said. "So what were you looking at earlier?"
Draco asked "Im curious what her power is. But based of her hair
I guessing it some sort of heat maybe? Like fire or Lava? I don't
know. I won't ask because that would be rude of me to" Draco
thought carefully about
Seraphina turns back to the table and touches the markings. "I was
looking at the intricate details on this artwork and lettering...
Very pretty and rather fascinating isn't it?" She said slightly
less shyly. You really are pathetic... Aren't you? She sighs
as she looses her confidence in herself.
"Yeah, they are pretty cool." Draco said looking at the table and
the markings. Draco noticed she sighed and looked at her "Are you
okay? You seem pretty tense and all." Draco said as he put his hand
on her shoulder "You should loosen up a bit" he said and warmly
smiled.
She jumps at the sudden weight on her shoulder, she stares at it as
though its a large spider. WHY IS HE TOUCHING ME!?!?!?!
"Tense? I seem tense?" She stands up and turns to him angrily,
giving in to her other side. "Well, maybe I'm not as social as SOME
people... Maybe SOME people are to loose? Did you ever think of
that?" She says rather loudly. "Maybe SOME people don't have to
fight to keep themselves... C... C..." She stutters. She grabs at
her heart area and is gasping. She runs past him to her dorm.
Draco blinked "What the? Well that was really awkward..." Draco
sighed and walked back to his dorm and layed on his bed "Maybe
she's afraid of me or I was being too much of a jerk. I don't know
anymore. Human emotions are too complex to fully understand" Draco
said and fell asleep
Seraphina closed the door behind her trying to make it to the bed,
instead she collapsed on the floor gasping for air. Breathe...
Breathe... Air please... Eventually the pain and tightness in
her chest subsided. She got up and sat on the bed. "That is not
fun..." She lays back on the bed and stares at the ceiling.
Draco probably hates me now... Great going...
Draco woke up from his nap "I wish I could apologize to
Seraphina but I can't go to the girls dorm room. I guess I will
just have to wait till she comes out again. In the mean time I will
go shopping, again" Draco thought. He grabbed his wallet and
his phone and put them in his pockets. Draco then left for the
little shop, he hoped to buy fresh produce like apples and
cucumbers.
"Great." She smiled. She hooked her arm through his and dragged him
out of the building, dodging chatting friends, awkward six years
olds, and impassive teens. Her eyes drifted to the man next to her
and asked, "What's your power?" She was treading on dangerous
ground, but she was curious.
You should get something for dinner so you don't have to eat in
the cafeteria... "good idea..." She gets up and counts the
money in her pocket. She counts out a little and leaves the rest
under her pillow. She sighs as she heads out to the town. I hope
I don't see Draco... I don't know what I would say or how I would
explain what happened... As she entered the town she saw Draco
heading for a shop. She then turned and went into a different shop
to avoid him.
Draco payed for some produce he bought and turned around, he
thought he saw Seraphina "Probably just my imagination" He said.
Draco went home and put the produce in the fridge. Draco grabbed
some of the leftover mac and cheese he had and heated it up. Their
was a lot left but Draco somehow still finished eating it. Draco
then cleaned his dishes and decided to go back to the little town
just to have a walk. As he was walking he saw Seraphina, Draco ran
up to Seraphina "Oh hey Seraphina" He said
She freezes wishing she was somewhere else. She turns around
slowly. "H... Hi Draco... Sorry about earlier..." She avoids
looking at him. This should be fun... You are terrible at
apologies aren't you? She purses her lips. "I have...
Personality issues..." She suddenly feels sick to her stomach.
Why would you tell him that?!?! He can't help you... You don't
need his sympathy or empathy...
Brandon was a little surprised at the way she pulled him out, but
didn't react much. A nine year old bumped into him, though he
didn't have much time to apologize. He didn't quite pay attention
until she asked him what his power was. "Uh, electrokinesis, or..
electricity manipulation. ...What's yours?" He wasn't too
comfortable talking about his abilities.
"It's fine. For a second I thought it was fault for being too
pushy, anyway I'm still sorry if I made you feel weird" Draco said
and put his hand on her shoulder. "You're human, you can't be
perfect at everything, especially personalities and emotions. Their
really complex so you never know what happens with them" Draco said
smiling, Draco's bright blue eyes were still bright even if it was
a little dark outside. Draco looked up "It looks like it's about to
rain. We should go inside before we get wet and all" He said
She recoils from his touch and pulls her shoulder away. "Th...
Thank you for... Understanding..." She looks up to the sky. "You
don't like the rain?" She asks as she looks back at him, almost
entranced by his eyes. The golden flecks in her eyes shimmer as a
ray of sun pushes through the clouds for a moment. And for that
moment, here hair seemingly glows as though its on fire, and her
eyes look almost alive or like flowing lava.
Draco blushed "No not really. My powers get harder to control when
energy sources like water are near me" he said. Draco's black hair
started to static "Yeah I need to get inside. My hair is starting
to pick up static. Before I go could we maybe trade numbers?" Draco
asked
