NAME: Jessica Reynolds<br/>ROLE IN SCHOOL: Student<br/>TIME OF DAY: Noon-Early Evening<br/>LOCATION: Room, Gym, then Basement Stairs =P<br/>TAGGING: Catching up @.@<br/><br/>Jessica stared in disbelief at the man in front of her. She didn't expect Shaw to be the very first person she'd run into and she definitely didn't expect him to be as young as he was. People that start private schools are supposed to be old and stuck up with their noses shoved into the air...not guys in their 20s. She follows his outstretched arm as he points out her new room and only gives a quiet nod to show she understands.<br/><br/>As Mr. Shaw prepares to walk off, Jessica manages a quick "Thank you" before turning back to her suitcase and making her way toward her new room. She spends several minutes dragging her oversized suitcase up the stairs, inwardly wishing that she had been blessed with an ability that was more practical. Her dorm wasn't much, especially if she was going to have to share the space with someone else. She pulled her stuff into the room, setting her backpack down on  the bed and inwardly claiming the right side of the room to be her's. She hoisted her suitcase onto the bed as well, preparing to unpack before being interrupted by an announcement. She was half tempted to just ignore it so she could get settled in and rest. Still, it might be something important.<br/><br/>It wasn't too hard to find the assembly as everyone flocked down the halls toward a single location. Did all these people really have abilities like her? She suspiciously eyed a few of the other teenagers that come close to her, inwardly wondering what they're capable of and whether or not they're dangerous. She didn't like the idea of being surrounded by these people...there was far too much about them she didn't understand.<br/><br/>Jessica found a sparsely populated area up front. Part of her wanted to mix in with the others and make new friends but her other half kept telling her that she didn't belong here and her father would arrive any day to take her away from all this. She gave her attention to Mr. Shaw as he headed toward his podium and made his introduction to the school. Fairly boring routine stuff, though the part about the basement certainly made her perk up a bit. Something about being told not do something made her want to do it even more. She made a mental note to herself to sneak into the basement later and see what's so "off limits" about it.<br/><br/>After the assembly, Jessica waited patiently as the rest of the crowd funneled out of the gym before heading back to her room. She told herself she'd get unpacked before investigating the basement but found herself growing more and more anxious as the minutes passed by. "Just a peek wouldn't hurt anything, right?" Jessica smiled slyly to herself and zipped up her nearly emptied suitcase.<br/><br/>Jessica quietly made her way to the stairs, her eyes darting around and making her look terribly suspicious. She climbed down the steps as quickly as her feet could carry her before getting to the chained off part of the staircase that led into the basement. She smiled to herself, ducking under the chain and ignoring the warning posted on the sign. Unfortunately, she found the door at the bottom of the stairwell to be quite locked. She gave the door a frustrated kick and started thinking to herself. "One of the teachers must have a key, right? I could totally take it from one of them and bring it back before they even noticed." The thought brought another smile to her face. Her ability might not be practical but it sure made getting into trouble a lot easier.
