Ouch

Jessica walked absentmindedly down the pathway which went through the lawn. She looked up at the sky and looked around at everyone else, but didn't seem to look down. She walked along, wishing that she wasn't such a klutz. Just as her mind finished that thought, she walked into a tree. She slumped to the ground and sighed. Her eyes welled up with tears, but she ended up laughing.

"This always happens to me..." she laughed. She felt totally ridiculus to be sitting on the ground after she had walked into a tree.

She looked up at the boy. She smiled stupidly, then stood up, shakily. She nearly fell down again, but quickly regained her balance.

"I'm alright. A little dizzy, and very klumsy, but I am alright." she said, smiling. She looked at him for a few more moments before continueing. Before she spoke she thought I've met a lot of people heer, but none have been that polite. He seems sweet.

"Nice to meet you. I am Jessica, or just Jess." she said.

Her pale cheeks reddened quickly. No one had actually cared if she was hurt before. it was a first for someone to ask. She looked at him again, then began to speak.

"I'm alright, I think. I've done much worse, trust me. I was mugged when I was 14. Not so fun. But, I'm alright now." she said, smiling still although she was talking about something very scary and sad.

"Sooo.... How long have you been at the academy?" she asked, eager to change the subject.

She tightened up when he hugged her. She was definately not used to having people be near her. SHe had been solitary for so long when she was younger. She continued to smile though. She noted he seemed veyr concerned, but she didn't feel like saying anything to ease his worries.

"Uhh. I've been here about a month, maybe a month and a half." she replied. She actually didn't remember when she had came. She never seemed to bother remembering.

"uhhh.. Well.." she said. Inside of her, she was debating on teling him the truth. That she could grant wishes and all of her family was dead because of her so she ran away and ended up here. She sighed and began.

"Well, I am an orphan and... my entire family was slaughtered because people wanted me. They wanted me because my power is that I can grant wishes. But, I can only grant wishes once a day, and if they kidnapped me and made me grant more than one wish. I could die... So, I ran away and here I am.." she said, all in one breath. She looked around shyly then decided to ask him the same question.

"And you? WHat are your powers?" she asked.
