Can't... walk... anymore...

Jasmine Eramthin walked into the lounge, still carrying her suitcase. She had gotten lost many times, and every time her other self had called her an idiot and had come out and help her — help them — find their dorm.

The young woman sat down on a couch, rubbing her forehead. Her feet hurt, her legs hurt, her arms hurt, her shoulders hurt... never again would she go to another school.

God, you're weak... go to the gym sometime, 'k? And get some sense of direction? For the sake of both of us? the Jasmine on the inside said.

She sighed. "Alright, alright..." she said quietly. She didn't want to talk to her other self, and she most certainly didn't want people thinking she was insane on her first day here.

Jasmine glanced around. She looked at one of the clocks; it was four in the afternoon. She sighed again, wondering if she should stay in the lounge for a while and meet people or go to her assigned dorm and risk getting lost again.

Jasmine turned to him, her eyes widening. Great... someone had heard her and probably thought she was insane... if this happened everyday, the school year would be wonderful... just, wonderful.

He's joking, Jasmine, joking! Go along with it! Idiot... her other self said. Jasmine bit her lip, hesitating to answer both of them.

"Uh... uh... n-n-no... none of those... I..." she couldn't go on. She swallowed.

Calm down, girl, calm down! Answer him!

Jasmine was tempted to tell her other self to be quiet, but she didn't. She looked at the boy again and tried to speak. "Uh... hello... I... I... I'm J-J-Jasmine..." the tone of her voice was very quiet, but at least she had gotten it out.

Jasmine shook her head. "N-N-No..." she said. So what if he had red eyes? Alright... so maybe it bothered her a little bit, but just a little bit. "Nice to meet you, Kyros..." she turned her gaze to the ground, wondering what else she could say.

Powers, maybe?

Jasmine turned her head away. "No, it might be rude..." she said very, very quietly, her voice quieter than a whisper.

And we would care if we're rude why...?

"Because... it's not nice... you haven't learned, have you?"

Apparently so.

Jasmine turned back to him. She couldn't win, could she? "Uh... what are your powers?" she asked.

Jasmine nodded, not having a clue what photokinesis meant. However, she wasn't going to ask, once again afraid that she would be rude.

"That's cool," she said quietly. "I can heal people... and control a persons dream."

You're saying his power is cool when you don't even know what it is... gosh... you really should ask him, you know...

She turned her head away. "No," she said quietly, turning back to Kyros.

Alright... if you want to be confused, that's fine with me...
