Vincent Thorn was a sophomore at Brightwood and felt as if, despite how much excelled in school he'd managed to retain a healthy measure of anonymity. It wasn't a surprise to him that he wasn't well known; he spent most of his free time in the garden he'd started behind his dorm(with the school's permission of course), talking to his plants. They weren't as hard to talk to as he found most other people to be. He'd gone down just this morning to water them, prune some of the more unruly ones, and set up tarps to give the plants that needed shade a cool haven. Afterward, Vincent had come back upstairs to shower and change into clean clothes.<br/><br/>His pale blond hair was very long, hanging at his hips such as it did, and took extra time to care for properly both in and out of the shower. It helped that he could control his hair in the same way he might his hands, if he so chose, and it certainly kept it from knotting together. Trichokinesis also seemed to bless one with a distinct lack of split ends. Vincent often overheard snippets of conversation about how envious others were of his hair. Sometimes it was not kind; other young men had shouted homophobic slurs in his direction. He had grown a thick skin about such long ago and often chuckled to himself about it.<span style="font-style: italic">They're half right,</span>he'd think as he walked away.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Now that he was clean once again, he was leaving to go get lunch. He was idly debating between some kind of chicken or a cheeseburger and fries. He turned the key in his room's door and turned to walk down the long hallway of the dormitory. Vincent took a quick glance down at his phone to check the time, paying no mind to the soft singing in the hall. He hadn't gone more than five feet when something very solid slammed right into the lower half of his chest.<br/><br/>A loud<span style="font-style: italic">oof</span>escaped him and he stumbled backwards.<br/><br/><br/><br/>----<br/>pic of Vincent<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff375/Smiling_Knives/Vincent%20Thorn_zpseuypepsd.jpg">[ img ]</a>
