<div class="floatleft">(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/Erion2451/Haley_Ramm_zpse2f7a826.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Jean Grey<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Marvel Girl<br/><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong>2/1<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Auditorium<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Casual suit and skirt combo<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 2nd, Early evening<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Arthur, Mantis, Jen, Cassie, Jimmy, Ri, Erik,<br/><strong>Mentioning:</strong>Arthur, Mantis, Jen, Cassie, Stephen, Zoe, Megan, Victor, Jimmy, Scott.<br/><hr/><br/>Jean had taken a table and waited to see who would join her.  She’d assumed Jen, Megan, and Cassie would join her, but they were under no obligation to do so.  In fact, when Cassie decided to do her own thing, Jean didn’t think twice about it.<br/><br/>The first person to actually sit with her was Erik, the kid with the weird shadow he called “Charlie”.<br/><br/>A small smile touched her lips when he asked if she was nervous,<strong>”not as much as I was earlier, but yeah.  I’ve been here for a few weeks and now that it’s time for classes to start I find that I’m extremely nervous.”</strong><br/><br/>Her green eyes studied some of the students who were nearby before looking at Erik.  The temptation to read his mind was there.  It was always there, but Jean restrained herself.  If she wanted to know if he was nervous than it was best to simply ask.  Xavier had tried to teach her she didn’t have the right to look into people’s minds without their permission.  Sure, they could lie or pretend differently, but that was their right as an individual.<br/><br/><strong>”How about you?  Nervous?”</strong><br/><br/>She studied the other students who had split up and were talking amongst each other.  Her gaze first found Scott and Jimmy, two people she knew slightly better than the other students here.  Scott, she’d known before she’d even met him.  Her mind had touched his when she was helping the Professor with his machine.  She’d woken him from his coma.  Though, she wasn’t sure if Scott knew that or not.  Jimmy, on the other hand, was still a mystery to her.  She’d been so curious about him that she’d followed him into the woods, and when she discovered she was lost, he was there waiting for her and led her back to the Academy.  He was someone she wasn’t sure about, but felt she could trust.<br/><br/>She returned Scott’s wave and then Katherine’s.  Jean hadn’t really gotten a good feel for the girl.  Katherine had disappeared into her room after Jean had received little more than a name.  The redhead reassured herself that she would get to know everyone in due time.  There was no need to learn everything right this moment.<br/><br/>Jean smiled warmly when Mantis joined them.<strong>”Hey, thanks for joining us,”</strong>she commented in an attempt to make the girl feel welcomed.<br/><br/>When Mantis addressed Stephen and told him he should sit with them, Jean turned her head and smiled at the well dressed man.<strong>”Hi Stephen, welcome to the table.”</strong>She did her best not to eavesdrop on their conversation, and turned her attention back to Erik.<br/><br/>She smiled as Arthur joined them,<strong>”I’m glad Mantis is here or I’d be feeling a bit outnumbered,”</strong>she said teasingly.  She watched as he turned on his tablet and lost himself in it.  The boy had already finished eating, even if it seemed like he’d barely sat down a second ago.<br/><br/>She felt somewhat sad when she saw Jimmy sneak out and wondered if something was wrong.  When she saw the other redhead girl, Zoe, sneak out after him, she hoped the girl was going to find out.  It was heartwarming to see that some people were looking out for each other already.  It made some of those nerves quiet just a bit.  That sadness returned, however, when she saw Arthur stand up, without ever talking to anyone who he had spent so much time gathering, and walk over to the stage to sit by himself.<br/><br/>The cerulean boy than sat beside her and Jean gave him the same friendly and welcoming smile she’d given everyone.  Her fork, in her hand, hovered in front of her mouth.  A piece of green pepper from the stir fry balanced upon the utensil.  Princess wasn’t exactly her favorite nickname.  She may have fit that description once upon a time, but not since her abilities had manifested, at least, not in her opinion.  Though, the more she thought about it, the more it was possible that it was an adequate nickname.  The last few years had been spent locked away in her room, like a princess in a tower.  It had only been with the Professor’s help that she’d been able to be around people again.  Even then, she felt constantly afraid that she’d lose control of her power and all of their thoughts would crash upon her like a rogue wave.  The distant buzz, like that of a fly, was barely audible now and she wondered if the Professor was helping her by reinforcing her telepathic barriers.<br/><br/><strong>”I just invited people to join me,”</strong>she replied to the Asian boy slightly defensive.  She came close to letting herself read his intent by skimming his thoughts, but once more refrained.<strong>”Are you settling in, all right?  Have you met everyone?”</strong>she asked and volunteered to introduce Ri to other students who had joined her.<br/><br/>
