Heavy footsteps fell upon the concrete. Annalise had overslept...again. It was such a hard habit to break, sleeping in. A huff pushed passed a pair of pale pink lips as Annalise ran down the sidewalk, her floral backpack not wanting to stay on her shoulder. "Oh..blast it all.."  Annalise knew she was going to have to take some short cuts if she wanted to make it to school before first class was over, so she decided to cut through the yards and small forest that stood between her.<br/><br/>There were a few stares, but it didn't take long for Annalise to finally reach the forest line close to the school. The girl wanted to take her time here, she truly enjoyed nature. One hand clutched her bag strap, while the other reached up and held the pendant she wore around her neck. It was a gift from her mother. It wasn't anything special, it was just a small glass bottle holding a few plants seeds, but it reminded Annalise that there is potential in everything.<br/><br/>Annalise had been seemingly stomping her way through the trees, humming quietly to herself when she stumbled upon a boy. Her brow furrowed slightly, creasing her forehead with smooth wrinkles. Annalise had never seen this boy before, but...he was wearing the same school uniform as herself.<br/><br/>"Are you alright?" He looked a bit shooken up as Annalise pushed through a few branches and made herself visible. "Is...something wrong?" Her large blue eyes flicked to the school building: it seemed ok..but this boy didn't. "Has something happened?" Annalise didn't go much closer to the boy, afraid he could be dangerous and although Annalise had powers she kept secret, she was still a very small girl.
