<div class="floatleft">(http://www.racecar.co.uk/uploads/rcnewsimages/chloe2010.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Chloe Masters<br/><strong>Nom De Guerre:</strong>None<br/><strong>Position/Grade:</strong>Senior<br/><strong>Location:</strong>One of the front rows, Hall of Oracles<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Alexi, Nathan, Carter<br/><hr/><br/><em>"It's a huge adjustment, isn't it? Not only being somewhere new, but somewhere like this? On my first day I got completely lost and ended up missing the welcome entirely. Heck, I think I was lucky to find my way to my room before morning!"</em><br/><br/>Pleasantly surprised that Alexi seemed friendly enough to try to put her at ease, Chloe giggled softly at his brief description of his first day.  Given how confident he appeared now, it was hard to imagine that he had ever felt even remotely like she did at the moment.  But, everyone was the new kid at some point, right?  Chloe suspected that she would still be nervous as hell today, even if she'd had a friend here.<br/><br/>About to answer Alexi's question with a witty remark of her own, their conversation was interupted by a curly headed boy, who looked to Chloe to be a little younger than her, stammering a hello and plopping down between them.  Vaguely annoyed, despite realising she had no right to feel that way - the seat was there to be used, afterall - she tried to mask the emotion as he fidgeted under her gaze.  It was obvious that she wasn't the only one who was feeling out of place here, and when she noticed the adorable blush of his cheeks her irritation at him evaporated immediately.<br/><br/>"Hi," she smiled warmly.  "I'm Chloe."  It was then that she noticed he'd fished something out of his pocket, and she sat, fascinated, watching the small paper clip turn itself into a horse and trot around his palm.<br/><br/><em>"That's very impressive. You seem to have quite a bit of precision, to control something so small." </em><br/><br/>Chloe looked up to see that Alexi was almost as awestruck as she at the sight of the paperclip prancing around on the boy's palm.  It seemed that that small feat was still somewhat astonishing, even in a place like Nebula High.<br/><br/>Opening her mouth to ask how he did that, the pretty brunette was distracted by a low rumbling sound.  It didn't seem to be coming<em><strong>from</strong></em>anywhere specific.  In fact, was it even a noise?  It seemed to reverberate through her, more like the vibrations you felt when standing on the platform as a speeding train went by, than an actual sound.  She suddenly had an overwhelming urge to look back, just as the doors to the Auditorium burst open and the most impressive looking man she'd ever seen walked nonchalantly through them, settling into a chair in the back row.  He was tall.<em>Very tall,</em>Chloe thought when she mentally compared herself to him.  And there was something about him that made her heart skip a beat. It wasn't that he was tall, dark and handsome - Chloe had always found herself more attracted to blonde boys with dreamy blue eyes.  Maybe it was his obvious broodiness, or the overwhelming sense of bad boy-ness that he gave off.  She wasn't entirely sure.  But it did take all her will power to drag her eyes away from him and face the front of the Auditorium again.<br/><br/>"Who is<strong>that</strong>," she asked no one in particular, hoping that someone would be able to identify him for her.  She certainly didn't have the courage to ask him herself!<em>Cut it out, Chloe,</em>she chided herself.<em>Day One is not the time to develop a crush...and as if he'd ever be interested in you anyway!</em>She mentally rolled her eyes at herself and tried, completely unsuccessfully, to put him out of her mind.  At least for the duration of the Assembly.  She had to focus, dammit!  Did she really want to risk missing something important and looking like a complete imbecile on her first day?
