Slowly making his way toward the his first period, Orion's hand was almost permanently attached the the side of his face. The throbbing reminder of last night's party still ran deep in his skull, and the hang over medicine he had taken had either failed altogether, or hadn't kicked in yet. His grey and black book bag was hanging over one shoulder with his right hand holding the strap. Little did he know that in his drunken stupor, he'd forgotten to take out his work uniform and exchange it for his school books.
"..uh...My head feels like it was just run over by a small comet.."
Trudging up a flight of stair, he finally made it to the safety of his locker, which at least meant he could stop walking for a little while. Orion slowly grabbed up the shiny bike chain hanging from the belt and located his ring of keys. After twisting the correct key in the lock, he let the chain fall as the door swung open. The first thing Orion was greeted by was his own reflection via the mirror positioned on the inside of the door. He looked and felt tired but his grade in his first period class prevented him from staying out all together. Though, he was seriously considering skipping out afterward.
After shoving his back pack into the locker, Orion reached in and removed the history text book. He had a few sheets of paper inside the book and a pencil in his pocket, so he didn't even bother opening his bag and looking for his notebook. Instead he, placed the pencil between his teeth, tucked the notebook under his arm and slammed the door shut. At this exact moment, he realized that he had left his entire chain, locker keys and apartment keys alike in his locker.
"...you've gotta be f!ck!n' kidding me..."
Pulling his fist back, it looked as if Orion was about to nail the locker, but he lost the will to destroy the thin metal cabinet and his punch turned into a defeated tap against the door. Orion had recently discovered his powers, but he also had realized he had to keep a cap on his temper or he risked informing the entire school of his powers. He closed his eyes and leaned his head against the locker. The only spare was in his friend Nate's house, but that was a bus trip away. Orion let out a deep sigh.
"Great..."

Lyf walked down the school hallway and was greeted with looks. All kinds of looks. She knew she was recognized. And she didn't care how. She saw the goths in a corner whispering. Lyf passed them and blew them a kiss. Just to piss them off. She saw Orion and smiled ot herself. Here was her chance to get to know the popular kid. She saw he closed his locker and was about to punch it. She enjoyed the spark in him. He was like a tasmanian devil. Never knew what was going to happen next. Lyf leaned on the locker next to him.
"Hey Orion, what's happening?Bad day?"Lyf said with a glint in her eye.

Blowing out another futile sigh, Orion pushed himself off of the locker and was about to head back downstairs and out the door when he heard a female voice speak to him. He turned and looked. At first he wasn't sure who was speaking to him, but he realized it was Lyf, a girl he'd spoken to briefly beforehand. Frustrated as he was, he was determined to not take it out on anyone or anything else, as the God inside him needed any help it could get in escaping.
"What's up Lyf...yeah it's another one of those days. Like the genius I am, I just locked my keys in my locker. How've you been?"
Orion noticed the seemingly pissed group of Goths behind them, lifting an eyebrow as one of them motioned toward Lyf and himself. He thought nothing of it and looked at Lyf. He'd only met her briefly before and couldn't remember her being as attractive as she was at the moment.

Lyf saw the way Orion was looking at her and she smiled. It was all going so perfectly. She also noticed the Goths motion towards them. She looked over her shoulder and smiled and waved, really mockingly. Lyf looked back at Orion and answered his question,
"I have been great. I saw you at the party last night. Man you can hold your beer!"Lyf said smiling, flirtily.
"I'm sorry about the locker thing, if you need space you can use mine for the time being"she said with a glint in her eye.

She had, 'lucky for her' a locker not far down from Orions, and therefore she had observed everything of this mornings spectacle. She had heard earlier on about the mad party the previous night, and had seen many in Orion's condition.
Her own locker door was open and she had been tying her long brown hair back into a ponytail when she heard Orions complaint about his keys in his locker. She glanced down at her jeans, tanktop and black sweater to make sure they were neat as her her morning routine.... then she decided she might as well save him a bit of time. It seemed he was having a bad enough morning without having to deal with his keys being locked in his locker.
She reached inside her own locker and pulled her messenger bag towards her, quickly flipping it open. She reached her hand in and felt around until she grabbed ahold of her small box of bobbypins. With a small sigh she flipped it open with her finger and clenched a couple of them in her hand. When she pulled her hand out, she had two long black pins with hooks at the bottom.
She was thankful that her powers weren't obvious and she could easily disguise them as she had. Slipping her bag over her shoulder, Alyssa closed her locker. With a final short breath in she approached the two.
"I didn't intend to... but I overheard you locked your keys in there." She motioned towards his locker and raised her hand that held the pins. "I can get that open for you."

"Thanks, but I was just about to skip out anyway. Not even 9 o'clock yet and I'm already about to leave."
Orion shook his head, before looking up again at Lyf, now smiling a little. He was never one to let any one problem bother him for to long. Already his falling history grade had been pushed to the back of his mind and he was thinking about other things.
"You we're at the party? Jeez..maybe I don't hold beer as well as I think..."
Orion grinned a little, watching Lyf. She seemed pretty cool to him, though he had no idea what her connection to the goths were. He didn't even know he was considered popular,let alone her. But then again, that sort of thing never really mattered to him. He'd treat the goths in the corner with the same respect he was treating Lyf with, if they were decent people.
EDIT : Sorry, didn't check before I posted.
Orion only now noticed a third person near his locker, another girl. She had heard there situation and had now spoken out.
"If you could that would be so awesome. I'm sorry, I'm Orion."

Lyf saw a girl walk up. She looked faintly familiar.Lisa?Maybe. Lyf didn't care. This girl was invading!And Lyf intended to make it stop. She smiled sweetly at the girl.
"You look familiar.Chem right?"Lyf said all sugary sweet.

Alyssa smiled at Orion and gave a short nod in reply to him. "No problem. I'm Alyssa." She turned her attention for a moment to Lyf who was acting a little too nice, though she was surprised she had even recognized her.
"Yeah, Chem." She said it politely but didn't return the painfully sweet tone that Lyf had given her. She turned her back to her and slipped the pins into the lock, making sure to position herself to where if they had bothered to just glance at the lock, her back was blocking the view. She wouldn't try to stop them from looking, but she wanted to be on the side of caution anyway.
Once both pins were in, she moved them around slightly to press the hook against the pins. Her fingers tingled slightly as she used her power to morph the hook to fit the pins, and a moment later she smiled slightly. With the pins pushed in, she could open the locker.... well.... ahve him open the locker. It would stay unlocked for as long as the pins remained inside.

Looking on slightly skeptically, Orion waited until it seemed as if she had finished. When the locker can open, he was completely amazed and impressed. She made it look so simple, while he couldn't do anything at all. Orion grabbed the key chain and shut the door.
"Thanks a lot, Alyssa. How'd you do that?"

Lyf felt a strange jolt as she watched Alyssa open the lock. This was too weird. Ever since last week, Lyf seemed to be getting these jolts everywhere.She looked over her shoulder at the Goths who were seemingly ignoring her now. Good. Just the way she liked it. Lyf smiled a little less meanly at Alyssa,
"So, you ready?"she said warmly.
What had come over her!Suddenly she was being nice?!?!?This wasn't Lyf. It wasn't her at all!She knew those powers were part of the problem.

Alyssa had left the pins in there a moment longer, to allow herself to change them back to their previous shape. Slipping them out she slipped them into the zipper of her pocket and turned to face the other two, a smile gracing her lips once more.
"I've had a lot of practice. I have had the unfortunate pleasure of loosing my keys a lot..... which means i've been locked out of my car, house, and locker many times." She looked at Lyf a little surprised, but nodded in agreement. Why was she suddenly being so nice? She didn't think it was likely the girl had noticed her powers, but it wouldn't be unheard of. After all, she wasn't the only one who seeed to be a bit....different lately.

Lyf smiled gratefully towards Alyssa and looked back at Orrion. She suddenly felt another jolt. But this when came from when she looked at Orrion. Lyf's brow furrowed and she studied Orrion. He, of all people, looked the least to have any powers. He was so normal!Lyf hoisted her bookbag a little higher and flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"So what are you two doing?I have first off and I am going to be bored out of my mind!"Lyf said waving her hands.

"I planned on going to first, but.."
Looking down at his watch, Orion surveyed the time. It was completely oblivious to him that others around him may have powers. First period had less than 20 minutes remaining and at this point a tardy would hurt him more than an unexcused absence would. Second period was just another useless elective class meant to fill his schedule, so as far as he was concerned, it was a free period. Especially considering the class isn't a graduation requirement.
"it's about over anyways. Besides alt east if I'm absent I'll have a chance at make up work. You guys got any ideas?"
Orion looked back to Lyf now. She seemed to be thinking about something, but he wasn't quite sure what it was. He didn't really have any plans beside wandering the school until third, so really, he was up for anything.

Alyssa's eyes widened slightly and she pulled up her sleeve to look at her watch, surprised that they had almost missed first perion altogether. In her mind, she shrugged it off figuring that if she were going to ditch class, this seemed a better reason than one that she would come up with on her own.
"We could go to a Cafe.."
((blah, sorry for the shortness))

((no prob. gimpy!  )) Lyf shook her head. "I agree!I haven't had my daily caffine fix just yet. And I could go for a double Venti Mocha"Lyf said smiling. She cast another withering glance at the Goths and wrapped her arm around Orions. "Well lets head out, yes?"she said feeling a little tense for no reason.Lyf looked at her brand-new silver louuievitton watch and smiled.They had loads of time! "Well we have got awhile, should we ead out?"Lyf said, her hand upon Orions, almost protectivly... |
