New Girl, New School

<div align=center>William absently reached a hand up to adjust the angle of the little silver hat atop his head, he seldom wandered into the lounge, there were far too many people for his liking, it made him nervous. The lack of people around had boosted his confidence slightly, though. Those that were hanging around in here of current were mostly in groups or pairs, too lost in whatever they were doing to pay any attention to him. The disheveled sort of air hanging around him suggested it hadn't been long since he'd been roused from a nap. He'd most likely attempted to do work and ended up falling asleep, he found that happening all too often recently. Perhaps he'd end up being able to do work in here, after all, someone would wake him if he ended falling asleep, right?

The poor boy practically jumped out of his skin when he heard a voice greet him, he whirled around to come face to face with a girl. She was shorter than him, though then again, the majority of people he came across were shorter than him. The girl was fair of face, though William could do nothing more than stare intently at his shoes. He wasn't used to being approached. "H... Hi.." He finally stammered out, sneaking a very quick glance up at her. It took him a moment or two to realize that she had asked him a question, what's your name? He blinked, tensing up just a little. He felt himself flush pink, how have you already embarrassed yourself? "Uh.. I.. M.. My name is.. W-William."</div>

<div align=center>William wasn't the sort of person that would ever tell anyone off, well, at least it didn't happen all that often. She hadn't done anything that deserved telling off, all she'd done had greeted him. A small, coy smile crossed William's features very briefly, he blushed a little and rubbed the back of his neck. It wasn't just her that made him nervous, it was everyone. "T.. Th.. That's a pretty name." He stuttered, looking up at her and giggling softly. "I thought... I didn't think you were impolite..." Perhaps she just wanted to make a friend, that was okay, wasn't it? He'd been lonely when he'd first transferred here (though maybe terrified was a better way to put it.)

He supposed he had been here for a while, not as long as some though, he thought a friend of his had been here for a few years, he seemed to know the place well anyhow, better than William. "I've been here for a little while, it's really big... It took me ages to find my way around." He let out a trail of nervous laughter, poor William still didn't really know his way around the school, he'd already gotten lost three times today.</div>

<div align=center>William had been there plenty of times, he frequently got lost on the way to class, even now. He had to pause to think of the answer to her question, he didn't really know which class was his favourite, he liked them all. "Music." He finally said, "I like music." He punctuated the end of his sentence with a small smile. William didn't really like the powers classes, everyone else could do useful things, or exciting things. He wished he could control electricity like Gabe, or fly like Micheal. He thought maybe a friend of Gabe's could even manipulate time, and if that wasn't exciting, then what was?

"I'm a telepath." He answered softly, he didn't really like talking about his powers, since he didn't really like them, but he could understand why she wanted to know. He had been just as curious about every single person's ability when he'd first come here, and to some extent the novelty hadn't worn off yet. William had two other powers as well, but he left them out, empathy was the first, and vitakinesis the second. His telepathy and empathy made his life incredibly difficult, he couldn't control them very well, which is why he wore the little foil hat.</div>

<div align=center>William could play guitar, and sing a bit, though he seldom did either in front of anyone. There was perhaps one person in the whole building who had ever heard him sing, but that was another story completely. He nodded as she spoke, Bill was prone to headaches, if a room was too full of people then he might even had ended up passing out, which was never good. "I can do both." He answered, but people tended to get angry with them if he invaded their thoughts, it was often hard to explain that he couldn't help it, sometimes it was best to pretend he just couldn't hear them.

It wasn't that he hated talking about his powers, it was most likely because of the things that had ended up happening with them. William would rather have something different, or maybe nothing at all, it would make his life a lot easier. "I complain about them... But I suppose if I had never come here then I wouldn't know the people I do." He laughed softly, he liked this girl, she was sweet, and above all non-threatening. She wasn't at all intimidating, which made it a lot easier for William to interact with her.</div>

<div align=center>William shook his head, he couldn't block out anyone else's thoughts at all, which is why he wore the little foil hat all the time. He took a moment to explain this to the girl, he couldn't block out the emotions of others at all, which often proved a lot of problems for him. William was a sensitive boy, and more often than not he ended up crying for absolutely no reason whatsoever. People just assumed it was attention seeking, though it was usually because someone else was feeling sad (of course sometimes it was attention seeking when he cried, more often than not, in fact.) He supposed he shouldn't have cried so much, he was going to technically be an adult in a month.

"I've heard some things about me I'd rather not hear, it's not very nice." He frowned, he supposed he could always use it against them, but he always got yelled at to stop prying around other people's heads. They didn't realize that he couldn't control it at all. William couldn't ever be mean to anyone, or at least he struggled to. If there was no reason to be mean, then he wouldn't there was no use upsetting people for no good reason.</div>
