Damion saw Cheza leaving. For some reason he didn't want her to go. He got up and slowly followed her.

Cheza stood up against a wall and took out her pack of cigs. She noticed they were all gone and she threw the box away and sighed. She didnt notice Damion following her.

Damion noticed Cheza with ciggerates. He had only smoked once in his life but wanted to talk to Cheza. He walked over to her. "You got anymore?" He asked her trying to sound cool.

Cheza sighed a little and rolled her eyes. "Do I wish. Sorry no. We are both out of luck I guess..."

Zim saw them leave and dicided to follaw the.she was a smoker and tried making friends with them."I got a pack if you want one.

"Sure." Damion said to Zim with a smile.

Cheza smiled a little. "...No...Its ok...Ill just buy them when I leave tonoght..."

"You sure?"Zim handed Damion one and took one for herself.She took out a lightly and lit both hers and Damions'.

"AS if you could leave," Danny chuckled, leaning against a nearby wall, he had been there for over 20 minutes.

Damion smiled. He took a drag from his ciggerate and remember what he smoked the first time. He tried not to cough as he inhaled and blew the smoke out.

Zim took a drag out of her ciggerrett and blew the smoke out.The smoke took shape and red 'Whats up?"

Cheza smiled a little at the both of them. She looked at Damion and tried not to laugh at all. "...You ok there??..."

"Yea. Just havn't smoked in awhile." Damion said. His ciggerette had gone out. He formed a small ball of fire in his hand and re lite it.

"Y'know I have a lighter."Zim chuckled.

Cheza watched the two of them smoked and she looked up in the air. She stared up at the ceiling for a long time.

"You okay?"Zim blinked at Cheza

Cheza just stood there staring at the ceiling.

Zim poked her.

Damion looked at Cheza staring at the ceiling. He created a stream of blue energy and made designs with it in Cheza's view of the ceiling.

Cheza tried hard not to smile but a smile crept across her face as she stared at the designs.

"Aww...Aint that cute."Zim grinned.

Damion smiled brightly and formed a solid red heart above her with the energy. It seemed to be his specialtly.

Cheza smiled at the heart then blushed a little. She looked away quickly. damn...he got me...he make me...s-s-smile!!!

Jordan walked up behind Cheza and just stood there, staring at her sister. She grinned weirdly.

Cheza noticed Jordan and gave her a look. "What are you doing here?"

Damion saw Jordan. The heart vanished since he took his attention away. Wow both of them are so pretty. He thought.

Cheza looked at Jordan then Damion, she walked closer to her sister and whispeared softly in her ear. "You always have to ruine everything for me...huh??" She backed away and started to walk down the hallway.

Damion ran after Cheza. "Hey. Where you going?"

"For a walk...around the school..." Cheza kept on walking not stoping to talk to Damion.

"Do you want company?" Damion asked following along with Cheza.

Cheza stopped. "Ya Id like that...but I have to go make sure my baby sister is ok and then we can go...if you want to...I mean..."

Damion smiled. "Sure. I need to see the school anyways. I'm kinda new here."

"Same." CHeza walked back over to Jordan. "Wheres your dorm and who is your roomate?"

Damion walked over to Jordan with Cheza.

Connor walked in, looked around and saw who he guessed was Damion. Smiling he walked over to him, stopping shyly when he finally got to him "Hey..."

Connor looked at Damion. "Umm..hi?"

"I.. ummm.. I'm your new roomy" Connor said, scratching his head gently. He looked Damion up and down, adjusting his huge blue parka.

"Oh. Sweet!" Damion said happily.

Connor smiled and reached out a hand for Damion, his had gloved and still frost covered. "Nice to meet you" he said.

Cheza watch the two then grabbed jordans hand and dropped her off in her dorm. She crept back over to Damion and Connor and stood there.

Connor smiled at Cheza "Hey... wow. I'm meeting more people today than I have in the last couple of years."

Cheza nodded to Connor meaning hi.

"My name's Connor" he said happily "What's yours?"

"...Cheza..." Cheza stated very softly.

Connor smiled nervously, running a hand over the pouch at his side again. There were very odd shaped lumps in it and he checked them very carefully, as if afraid to disturb anything.

Zim sighed.She took another drag her her ciggerett and starting singing to herself.

Sevin the co-headmaster stepped into the hall from oddly enough a custodial closet. no telling how he got in there. he looked at Zim strictly with a flare of red in his eyes her Cigarette immediately bursting into flames.

Cheza grabbed a cig from Zim and lit it infront of Sevin. "That was so not cool." She took a drag and gave it to Zim. "Sorry I had to do that...come on...we can go into my room and smoke..." She glared slightly at Sevin.

"Thanks.I really hate teachers who wont let me smoke.Its my life.Ill mess it up if I want to."Zim got up and followed her.

Sevin was irritated now "Cheza, Zim stop!" he walked forward with each step he made the gravity in the room seemed to increase till neither one of the two could move. he stood in front of them "i don't agree with the non smoking rule. i could care less if you want to let your lungs rot away." he sighed "but it is a rule none the less. so please, if your going to slowly kill yourself from smoke inhalation do it were i cant see it." the room returned to normal "if i do see it the only thing that you'll be lighting up for a month will be the school furnaces" he walked away sighing deeply. at least this time he didn't burn out her cigarette though

"I just don't want them smokng inside the school," Selena replied amused. She smiled at Sevin, "And please release the students."

"...The only thing I will be burning here is you..." CHeza spoke softly as she started to make a small fire ball appear in her hand and it got bigger and bigger slowly.

Sevin smiled big looking at her crossing his arms "well then do it. Im waiting" fire nipped from his jaw

There was a loud clang and the air around the fireball rippled, freezing it in ice. It fell for a second, melting as it fell so it slashed onto the floor as water. Connor stashed something back into his pouch second later, moving so fast noone saw what he had been holding.

Zim noticed Connor."Who the bloody hell are you?"

"Connor... bye" Connor said, taking off down the hall surprisingly fast.

Damion blinked. "What the hell just happened?" He asked somewhat confused. He shrugged and started to head to his dorm.

Selena looked at Sevin, "Please don;t egg on the students. It sets a bad example." She smiled sweetly.

Sevin smiled rubbing the back of his head nervously "honestly i was looking forward to the fire ball. was feeling a little chilly" he said taking his paw down away from his head.

Cheza walked up behind Damion. "...w-where ya going??"

Zim crossed her arms."I don't like you."She said blankly.

'Well, I've been meaning to talk to you anyway," Selena smiled.

"Who?Me or him?"Zim pointed to Sevin

Connor slumped down against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief. Noone had followed him.

'To Professor Sevin," Selean replied.

"Kay."Zim walked off to fins Connor.

"yes headmistress?.... i mean Selena" he asked "what is it you wished to speak with me about?"

"About your lesson plans with teh students tomorrow, I'm talking to all the teachers," Selena smiled.

Zim saw Connor."Oh hey!There you are!"

Connor blinked and stared up at her "Hey... are you going to attack me or something?"

"ah yes i was wandering how you were wanting to schedule it? so that neither one of us had a class at the same time." Sevin said relaxing a bit

"No."Zim sat next to him."You looked lonely."

"I'm used to being lonely" Connor said, smiling widely "I've met more people today than I have in the last couple of years."

'i can take the morning if you want he afternoon?' Selena asked

Zim hugged him."AWW!YOU'RE SO CUTE!"

Connor turned a bright shade of red, his eyes wide and his pupils tiny. "Gah.. wuh.. who?" he mumbled.

"You,silly."She nuzzled him.

"very well" Sevin smiled

Connor shuffled sideways slightly "Uhhh... Why are you doing this?"

"Cause Im bored and you're cute."

"I.. uhh... be careful!" Connor called out, rearanging his pouch so it was out of her range.

Zim leaned forward and snuggled upto him.She was thinking about Thanatos.

Connor sighed softly and wrapped a muscled arm around Zim's side, hugging her softly. She was probably just doing this to try and make him freak out or for some other reason. He found it very hard to believe that he was thought of as "cute".

Zim pured and snuggled upto him.

Connor blushed brightly, turning his head slightly away from her. He was really embarresed by this, not knowing why she was doing it.

Zim fell sleep a few seconds later,grabbing onto Connor's arm and snuggling it.

Now that he knew she couldn't see, Connor began to wave his other arm madly in mid-air to attract someone's attention. He had to be careful though, if he moved too wildly he might disturb something.

Zim purred and held onto his arm tighter,purring more.

WHAT THE HELL IS HER NAME!?!? Connor thought desperatly, waving his arm to try and get someone to help.

"Zim likes pie.."Zim said in her sleep.

"Why is Zim squeezing me?" Connor asked, trying to keep his voice level.

"Connor is pie..."Zim snuggled up to him.

After a second to process this Connor began to wave faster than ever SHE'S GOING TO EAT ME!

"Connor is a kittycat.."Zim snored.

Finally giving into terror Connor began to wave his arm as if he was trying to take off one handed. he groaned as he heard a familiar muffled clang from his pouch. After a few seconds there was a small rumble, followed by a chill in the air as a small personal snow storm appeared over his hooded head.

Zim opened her eyes."Why is it cold?"

"Because I have a snow storm on my head" Connor sighed, a small pile of snow starting to form on his hood.

Zim blinked and hugged him."Ill warm you up!!"

Ohhhhhh.. hell Connor thought, sighing softly.

"Whats wrong?"Zim blinked innocently.

"Well... you suddenly hugged me... and it feels wierd." Connor mumbled, not looking at Zim.

"Weird how?"Zim blinked.

"As in you hugged me, I didn't know your name and... it just feels wierd!" Connor said, shaking his head to rid it of a little snow.

"Your so cute!"Zim hugged him.

"GET THIS LIMPET OFF ME!" Connor yelled as he was dragged down into another hug.

"...Limpet...?"Zim looked up at him with big puppy dog eyes.

"Yes! Limpet! I think my arm's turning a funny colour." Connor cried, turning his arm to let Zim see it was going purple.

Zim let go and curled up,away from Connor.

Connor rubbed the colour back into his arm before reaching over and giving Zim a small hug "Im just not used to it."

Zim kept quiet.She just sniffled.

"Im sorry" Connor sighed, releasing Zim and sighing.

"B-but..You're chibi.."Zim sniffled.

Connor sighed "I havent been around people for years" he mumbled.

---

Damion turned and looked at Cheza. "I was going to head to my dorm. I still need to unpack." He said with a smile. "You're more than welcome to join me."

Cheza looked at Damion. "No...if you need to unpack I will let you. Id probly be int he way anyways."

As he exits the Grand Hall and enters the Hallway,Ryuujin notices the students talking there.Not wanting to interfere in the conversations he continiues to make his way to his office and bedroom.As he reaches the entrance he thinks to himself Maybe i should go to the library first.There might be some information there.He then turns arround and heads for the library

Damion nodded and smiled. "I'll see you around." He said as he turned around and headed to his dorm.

Cheza sat on the ground of the hallway. stupid idoit why did you have to say that! He now probly thinks you hate him. Wayy to go stupid! She punched the wall so hard she broke a couple of her fringers, and she screamed a little.

Damion ran through the halls and found Cheza. "Cheza!" He yelled to her.

Cheza got up and held her hand behind her back. "...Um...ya??"

Damion got to Cheza and started breathing heavily. He looked at where Cheza was sitting and saw blood splatter on the wall and then noticed her hand was behind her back. "Cheza. What did you do?" He asked worriedly.

Cheza was thinking of somthing fast to tell Damion. "I-I killed a spider. Ya it scared me so I hit it!" She left her hand behind her back. "A-Are you ok??"

Damion looked at Cheza suspiciously. He nodded and forced a smile. "Yea I'm fine. I wanted you to come with my to my dorm. We can sit there and talk, without all the raquet going on out here." He laughed alittle hoping to cheer her up.

"Sure that will be fun!" Cheza kept her hand behind her back and got up and stood next to Damion.

Damion glanced behind her back. "Spider my ass! What did you do?" He grabbed her hand trying to be careful of the gases in her hand.

Cheza pulled it away quickly and hid it again behind her back. She was scared of what might happen to it or what he might to do it."It was a really really big spider and I was born with a messed up hand and when I hit the spider the cuts re opened??" She shrugged a little hoping that he may believe her.

Damion looked back at the mark on the wall and then back at her hand. "Why did you punch the wall?" He asked starting to realize exactly what happened.

"Cuz of the spider??" Cheza didnt know what to say. Damion found out she lied to him and now she didnt know what to do.

Damion took her hand once again and gently kissed it. He looked at Cheza and smiled. "Was it cause of me?"

Cheza flinched again but didnt pull her hand away. "Ummm if the spider came from you then yes??"

"Ok ok lets just go with the spider story." Damion gave Cheza a cute little smirk with a small glisten in his eyes. "Let's just go heal this shall we? I should have something in my room."

Cheza looked at her hand then Damion and smiled a little. "...Ok...so where is your room?"

"This way. Come on." Damion hooked arms with Cheza and started walking down the hall towards the dorms. amam dorms

---

Well you need to learn to be more social.I'll teach you!"Zim squealed,happy once more and hugging him again.

Im pretty sure you have some social problems too Connor thought, rolling his eyes as Zim hugged him.

Zim smiled and poked him."What did you roll your eyes for?"

Connor chuckled and hugged her back "No reason."

"Liar!"Zim nuzzled him adn giggled.

Connor sighed and rolled his eyes again "It's just that not many people act like you, I know that."

"Not many people act like a hyperactive crack monkey?"

Connor nodded "Yeah, people dont really act like that."

"Ya but Im a hyperactive crack monkey."

"Ok, so not a lot of people act like an over active mammal." Connor laughed.

"Grr."zim squeeked hugged him.

Connor blinked and patted her awkwardly "Why do you act so hyper?"

"I was raised to be a freak and not have anyone like me."

Connor blinked "Well, I like you." he laughed and hugged her again.

"YAY!"Zim hugged him tight.

Connor blushed brightly "Mainly because you act so odd and it reminds me of my mates the squirrels."

"...Squirrels..?"Zim blinked.

"What?" Connor blinked. She couldn't not know about squirrels.

"Whats a squirrel?"Zim blinked,confused.

"Ummmmm... small, hyper, furry things that run around and eat nuts" Connor explained.

Zim gasped."I do not eat nuts!"

Connor blinked and stared "Uhhhh.... ok. What's wrong with eating nuts?"

Zim stared at him."A-Are you...Gay...?"

"PEANUTS YOU DOLT!" Connor yelled, blushing brightly and whapping Zim on the head with his sleeve.

"OW!"Zim growled."Ooohh...Peeaaanuts...Yum."

Connor poked her shoulder "You're a dirty dirty crackmonkey"

"Yus I is."Zim said proudly.

Connor whapped her gently on the head again "DIRTY!"

"Ow!Stop that!"Zim glared.

Connor smiled and kissed the top of her head softly "Alright. Im sorry." He brushed a load of snow off the top of his head again, grumbling about it always happening.

Zim blushed brightly.She took out an umbrella fromm her bag and gave it to Connor."You need this more than I do."

Connor shook his head in another cascade of snow "No, I'm used to it by now." He looked around and streached his arms, his muscles showing from under the cloth for a second "I guess I should go into my dorm.... want to come?" he walked off before he got an answer, heading to the dorms.

Zim blinked and got up.sh felt like she had no choice but to follow him.

---

Thantos steped into the hallway with the flowers in his hand, he looked up and down the hallway. "She was just here, I can sense it... This way..." He headed for the amam dorms

---

Irene walked in to the hallway and sat down against a wall. She slowly took off her mask.

Connor walked into the hallway, out of sight of his room and began to beat his fists against the nearest wall.

Irene was startled and quickly out her mask back on.

Connor didn't even seem to see Irene. He didn't seem to see the wall he was currently beating up. He didn't seem to see the little specs of blood he was leaving from his knuckles either.

Irene was scared since she never really trusted anyone and tried to back up in to the wall.

Connor finally stopped hitting the wall. He just lay with his head against it for a second, seemingly thinking hard. He then suddenly grabbed onto the wall tightly and began to headbutt it hard.

Irene was now terrified, she quickly got up and ran away from Connor. She stopped around the corner and sat back down scared for her life.

Connor just stood there, shivering now. He ignored the sounds of someone running away and just slumped down in a pile. He covered his eyes with his hands and fought back the urge to cry.

Irene looked around the corner and snapped her fingers. In front of Connor appeared a message in black ink saying 'Don't be sad'

Connor had uncovered his eyes just in time to see the message. He blinked and looked around, wiping small tears from his eyes. He saw Irene and bit his lip. Taking out his smallest but one bell he held it so she couldn't see it. He waved it about slightly, making it tinkle softly. Ice began to scrawl on the carpet infront of Irene, spelling out 'Im sorry if I scared you' in thick spikey letters.

Irene looked at the message and read it. The first message infront of Connor disappeared and another took its place 'its okay. I get scared easily'

Connor took out a second bell, slightly larger than the first. He shook it and the first message was suddenly blasted by a blazing wind, melting the ice and evaporating the water in seconds. He shook the first bell again, making 'can we speak? This is complicated' infront of Irene in ice again.

She read the message. The second message dissappeared as another appeared, 'Okay' it said as Irene got up and walked to Connor.

Connor's message dissapeared in another blast of heat as he got up himself. Now she could see him head on she could see that his knuckles were a bloody mess and his forehead was trickling blood down his cheek. "Im Connor" he said softly, trying to hide the fact he wanted to cry.

"Irene. Are you okay? You dont look too good." she said.

"I've had worse.." Connor muttered, sighing softly. It was true, for both injureys. He had worse scars both physical and emotional.

"I can heal that if you want" Irene told Connor.

"No... I need a reminder" Connor said, sighing and moping away some blood from his eye with his sleeve.

Irene sighed and took his hands in hers as all his wounds disappeared.

Connor sighed softly "I see you find it hard to take no for an answer." He looked sadly at her "Am I really that scary?" he asked.

"I just can't stand to see someone hurt" Irene sighed letting go of his hands, "Its just that at first, I dont really trust anyone"

"You can trust me" Connor said "But I shouldn't trust everyone straight away..."

"I've never really trusted anyone before. Its different" Irene said slowly taking off her mask.

Connor smiled gently as she removed her mask "Strange..." he muttered "Why do you hide your beautiful face behind a mask?"

"I Don't know, I've done it since I was little" Irene said.

Connor smiled softly at her "You dont have to hide around me ok?" he said gently.

"Okay" Irene smiled.

Connor smiled at her "That ink thing was cool... how'd you do that?"

"Its kindof hard to explain. You just think of something to write, write with, and to write on. The ice was cool too" Irene said looking at Connor.

"That's just shaping magic" Connor said, smiling gently "Doesn't sound as complicated as yours."

"Your right" Irene chuckled.

Connor smiled softly and gently tucked his bells into their pouch "This is gonna be some school isn't it?"

"Ya" Irene smiled "It's the best school I've ever gone too."

"Only school I've ever gone to. Well, the only proper school." Connor laughed, smiling back at Irene.

"really" Irene questioned.

"I was taught as a kid by my village's elder with all the other kids... usually we were sent away to a proper school afterwards but I never got the chance" Connor said, forcing a smile.

"I would rather had that than go to all proper schools" Irene sighed.

"no... you wouldn't" Connor said darkly, not glaring unkindly at Irene, just giving her a look that told her that she didn't understand.

Irene looked down at her mask in her hands and put it back on.

Connor gently placed a hand on the mask before it was fully on "Look, Im sorry. Please dont hide from me. I just... dont like it when people think that Im lucky because I've never been to a proper school."

Irene looked at Connor and took the mask off.

"Thank you" Connor said, sighing softly "Please, you dont have to hide."

"I know, Its just a habit" Irene sighed too.

Connor smiled and gently moved a piece of hair out of her face "Why did you start wearing a mask anyway?"

"Ever since I was little, I always hated how I looked so I started wearing a mask. I promised myself that always wear a mask and show my whole face to only the people I trust the most." Irene smiled a little.

Connor smiled softly "You trust me that much?" he asked, biting his lip softly.

Irene nodded "ya"

Connor smiled and gently reached into his pouch "Then I should show you these... not many people have seen them." He opened his pouch and removed a few of his bells, holding them tightly so not to drop them "This is how I use magic..." he said softly "Without them Im powerless."

"They're pretty" Irene smiled.

Connor smiled softly "They each have different amounts of power that I can put into them" he said, holding up the one he'd been writing with "This will take a small amount of power but it's gotmore control."

"So the bigger they get, the less control they have?" Irene asked.

"Some" Connor said, thinking about the one he'd left in the pouch "Some are more powerful than they seem."

"Wow"

Connor smiled slightly and tucked his bells away "Still, Im not that good at using them..."

"You should get better with a little practice." Irene smiled.

"I've got a good shot though" Connor said, smiling gently "I used to hunt with my bells sometimes."

"wow"

Connor flushed slightly pink "Uhh... you see... I lived on my own" he mumbled, staring at the floor "I had to hunt for food and stuff."

"I wouldn't know what that is like. I'm bored into a rich family and I've always hated it." Irene told Connor

"It's cold. And hungry. and lonely" Connor sighed "That whole making freinds with nature thing only works for creatures you dont eat."

"I've heard that someone else lived like that, but I can't remember her name." Irene said.

"Lots of people live like that. Not many survive though.." Connor sighed.

"True. Every now and then I'd sneek people like that home to give them food and water. Stuff like that"

Connor smiled gently "Thanks... I wish I'd met you while I was in the wild... I could have done with a freind."

"Ya, but at least you have some where to live now" Irene smiled.

"It's gonna feel wierd sleeping in a bed" Connor said, nodding solemly.

"I don't sleep that much. I never found out why." Irene sighed.

Connor smiled gently "Then maybe I'll meet you wandering around this place at night."

"Most likly" Irene giggled.

Connor laughed and smiled at her "It was nice to meet you..."

"Nice to meet you too" Irene returned the smile.

"You going anywhere particular?" Connor asked, smiling wider.

"No, why?"Irene questioned.

"Cause I've got no where to go. My room mates got a girl over and I dont really want to interupt them." Connor laughed.

"Or...we could sneek in and throw watter balloons at them" Irene giggled.

"Since I have to live with him I dont think that's a very good idea" Connor chuckled, poking Irene softly.

"Wouldn't it be funny to see their faces" Irene said looking at Connor with a puppy dog face.

"No" Connor said, poking her nose gently with a rough finger "But you can throw water at people in the elements class."

"Please" Irene said hugging him.

Connor blushed brightly as she hugged him, frozen to the place.

Irene sighed and stopped hugging Connor. She then put her mask back on.

With a sudden burst of movement Connor had knocked the mask away and swept Irene up into a ight hug, holding her close to him.

Irene was a little confused and hugged Connor back.

"I... was just a litle surprised" Connor whispered in her ear, holding her close against him.

Irene didn't know what to do, but continued to hug him.

Connor looked around for a second before kissing her softly on the cheek and backing off again, blushing.

Irene Stood that in shocked and blushed bright red.

Connor blushed even brighter when he saw she was blushing too. He hid deeper inside his hood and mumbled "Im sorry..."

"Its okay"

Connor looked up at her and once and blushed even brighter, now looking like a beetroot "Im still not used to that."

Irene smiled and hugged Connor again and kisses his cheek.

Connor blushed again but smiled, hugging her gently.

Irene laughed quietly.

Connor softly kissed her cheek "No more mask... not infront of me ok?"

Irene blushed and nodded "okay"

Connor smiled widely and held her tight for a second before letting her go.

Irene hugged Connor back.

Connor smiled gently and looked around "Do you know when classes are starting?"

"Nope"

"Want to go ask a teacher?" Connor said, looking around to see if he saw any.

"maybe" Irene said throwing a balloon at Connor and out it came hearts. After she threw it at him she ran away "Can't catch me!" not realizing she left her mask.

Connor blinked and caught the balloon, picking up her mask and putting it on himself before chasing after her, still holding the ballon.

Irene ran around the corner and stoped waiting for Connor.

Connor stopped before turning the corner. He could hear that she had stopped.

Irene jumped around the corner and glomped Connor.

"GAH!" Connor yelled in surprise, blushing gently.

"Gotcha!" Irene giggled not noticing Connor wearing her mask.

Connor smiled and gently hugged Irene, kissing her cheek gently.

Irene blushed.

Connor handed her the balloon back, smiling as he did.

Irene smiled making it pop.

"You're a strange little thing aren't you?" Connor laughed, kissing the top of her head.

Irene smiled cutely and nodded.

"And so beautiful..." Connor sighed, gently lifting her chin so he could kiss her cheek.

Irene blushed and kisses Connor on the lips lightly.

Connor blushed brightly and shivered as she kissed him, gently kissing her back.

Irene blushed and pulled back.

Connor just stoof there for a second, rocking gently on his feet and stifling a moan.

"Sorry" Irene said.

Connor just murred gently, his eyes still closed behind the mask he was wearing.

Irene looked away and continued to blush.

Connor slowly removed the mask from his face and held it out "You forgot this..."

Irene looked at Connor kindly "thanks" she said taking it, but not putting it on.

Connor smiled gently, blushing slightly. He had to ask this though, no matter what the answer "Why did you kiss me?"

"It was something that my body did, I couldn't control it"

Connor blushed slightly and stared at the floor "Alright..."

Irene slowly put her mask back on.

"Nuuuu.." Connor whimpered, gently laying a hand on her mask.

Irene smiled and held it at her side.

Connor smiled and kissed the top of her head.

Irene looked into Connor's eyes and blushed deeply

Connor just swooped down and kissed her cheek again, murring gently "Do you know your way around this place?"

Irene shoke her head, "no"

"I really need to find a shower..." Connor grumbled, pulling at his hoody.

"Isn't there one in your dorm?" Irene asked.

"I dont know... and Im not going back to check." Connor said firmly.

"I think that we should throw water balloons at them." Irene said.

"No" Connor said firmly, poking her forehead "They're probably... busy."

Irene hugged Connor "please"

Connor shook his head "no... no water ballons."

"smoke bombs?"

"No throwing things at them" Connor groaned.

Irene sighed and put her mask on.

Connor groaned "Comeon... anything else but that."

Irene took the mask off and hugged him.

Connor blushed gently and hugged her back "Why do you keep wanting to throw things at people?"

"It sounds fun"

Connor poked her softly "But it'll get you in trouble."

"So? Wouldn't it be worth it?" Irene asked Connor

"Not when they're doing what they're doing now..." Connor mumbled.

Irene sighed quietly still hugging Connor.

Connor stroked Irene's head slowly, kissing it softly "awwwww..."

Irene blushed lightly and smiled.

Connor smiled and gently patted her on the top of her head.

Irenne giggled and kissed his cheek again smiling.

Connor blushed brightly and closed his eyes happily. He wanted to go somewhere, but he also wanted to stay here all day.

Irene smiled and tackled Connor playfully.

Connor blushed even brighter and stared up at her, covering himself slightly and meeping.

Irene giggled and started to put her mask back on.

Connor blinked up at her "Why?"

"I'm kidding" Irene said making it disappear.

Connor smiled up at her and kissed her cheek "Good.."

Irene gigled and hugged Connor.

Connor smiled and laughed softly as Connor held her close. He blushed softly and bit his lip. This is amazing... people LIKE me here... he thought, wrapping his arms around Irene as well and holding her close.

Irene felt safe in Connor's arms and didn't want to left of of him. SHe continued to hug him and rested her head lightly on his shoulder blushing a little.

Connor kissed her cheek softly as she lay ontop of him, holding her tight against him. He didn't know why she felt so safe with him, he'd never felt safe with himself.

Irene blushed lightly smiling and rest her lightly head on Connor's chest.

Connor smiled gently and stroked her head slowly.

Irene smiled purring softly.

Connor yawned softly. The carpet was comfier than anything he'd layed on in a while. If he wasn't careful he'd fall asleep.

'Tired?" Irene asked.

"Comfy..." Connor said gently, curling up against Irene and holding her close.

"Very" she giggled.

Connor smiled gently and held her close, purring gently and closing his eyes.

Irene smiled and closed her eyes as well falling asleep. she soon woke up minutes later and poked Connor's forehead with her mask appearing on her face.

Connor was still snoring away, grunting gently as Irene poked his forehead.

Irene giggled and kisses Connor softly.

Connor grunted again and nuzzled up against Irene gently.

Irene smiled and nuzzled Connor.

Connor purred happily and kissed her cheek.

Irene blushed , knowing that he is sleeping and doing all this. She rested her head on his chest nuzzling him lightly.

Connor opened his eyes slowly, looking up at Irene and smiling "Time for classes I think..." he murmured, holding her tight.

"Ya, probably" Irene said making sure her mask was on.

Connor sighed slighty and got up slowly "I wish you didn't wear that all the time..."

Irene stood up and took it off.

Connor smiled and kissed her cheek "which class are you off too?"


Irene smiled, "Black magic. How about you?"

"Elementral magic" Connor said, checking his bells at his side "It's all I can do... That and summoning."

"Have you ever practiced anything else?" Irene asked.

"It's the only magic I can do. It's got something to do with me..." Connor said, smiling gently "Sorry we're not in the same class."

"It okay" Irene told Connor, "Maybe we can meet up after class."

Connor smiled at her and walked off to the elemental class. "Maybe..."

Irene smiled and walked to her class putting her mask back on.
