New Academy discussion

(Pretend she came here first)
After packing her room with her gadgets and computers, Carly finally opened the suitcase which held Litch, her "pet dog."
Litch jumped out, stretching with a high-pitched whine. Carly smiled at the creature, happy that it was powered by her own abilities. Before she left, she fed him some of her blue lightening. Just a small crackle.
Once he barked happily, chewing on the static, Carly stared at her door, covered with a picture of a solar eclipse. She didn't want to go out there. Not with all those...people.
"YouR SchedulE HaS ArriveD, CarliE," he barked in a small voice, still getting use to things. The only time he spoke was with her.
She smiled softly to the dog, checking what she had first.
Math.
Oh joy...

Jet sighed as he unpacked his things from his navy suitcases. When he was done, he looked out his window towards what looked like the Shadow's dorm. Oh how he wished it was Light's.
He wondered how his little sister Alison was doing, probably already shouting with joy and baking for her neighbors. He grew envious of those neighbors to have such a cute cook who'd make anything for them if they'd just ask.
Kissing his silver cross, the one he received from his father, he locked up and headed for first period.
Father, may we protect her...

Cassandra put her violin case, her small duffel bag, and her small suitcase on then remaining twin bed, shoving the suitcase underneath the bunk. She looked around the small dorm room. Great, a roommate, she thought. On the other side of the room, a desk was set up with all kinds of electrical paraphernalia. A small dog looking thing was on the bed and in the corner was a tiny camera, watching her every move. There would be no snooping apparently.
Her first period was swimming, but it would have to wait. There was something more important to find. She left the room, not even bothering to put a swimsuit on, and began checking around the building. After ten minutes she found what she wanted and after twenty, left for the pool.

Cassandra sat down on a bench outside the lightning dorm, whispering into her phone. Her head snapped up when she heard the bell and the rest of the swim class leave the pool.

Jet walked into the lightening dorm, unknowingly he dropped his towel that he stuffed in his bag. He continued to walk.

Cassandra glanced a flurry of white in her peripheral vision. A guy with auburn hair had dropped his towel. She hung up her phone and picked up the towel. In sharpie was written "I'M HEARTLESS AND DICKLESS." It didn't look like washing it would even get it out. There was also a phone number in one corner. The auburn haired guy walked into the lightning dorm. There was only one guy in her dorm. She hurried after him and knocked on the door to his dorm room.

Jet grew irritated when someone knocked on his door, even more so that it was a female, but-looking to the hand she held up-he softened a bit at his father's towel.
He must've dropped it.

Cassandra held the towel up with both hands, displaying the permanent marker written all over it. "Hi, um I'm Cassandra Somers. Would you happen to be Heartless and Dickless?"

Her bright green eyes captured him, setting unease to the rest of his system.
"...Yeah, that would be me." He took the towel from her hands, still looking at her, he smirked, "Thanks."

"No problem." Cassandra handed the towel to him. "Somebody must really have it out for you," she said, gesturing to the piece of cloth. "What'd you do?" she asked, leaning against his doorframe nonchalantly.

He smirked at her, while his insides pulled a siren alarm on him. "..I told some self-obsessive teen that I wasn't interested... She threw a fit and hung this up on the fence..." He threw the towel on his bed.

Cassandra watched him critically, her green eyes assessing him. "Harsh. Don't think that's gonna come out. And now she's gonna have a vendetta against you. Was that your only one?"

He sighed, only thinking of the towel, furrowing his brow, "Yeah, it was. It's a shame, since I was gonna go to the lake next..."

She considered her words carefully then said, "I was going too. I didn't get a chance to swim at first period. If you want I have an extra you could borrow?" She waited to see if he would accept her offer.

He shrugged, wanting to swim off that whole shadow fiasco. Lake water would be nice right now.
"...Sure, why not," he said locking his door, "I'm dressed for it anyways."

"Alright gimme two seconds," she said, going into her room and throwing on a light blue one piece and grabbing two towels, one green one yellow. She was back in the hallway in no time, handing him the green. "Ready?" she asked, starting to walk out the dorm.

"Yep," he said, excepting the green towel.
Man, she was fast! He smirked as they headed for the lake.

Completely ignoring the short girl with a brown-hair pixie cut for a hairstyle whom said good morning to her with a smile, Carly made it to the safety of her cyber walls. But when she opened the doors, she found her world crumbling around her.
There were bags on the other bed.
She had a roommate.
No Fu*king way....

(wait is west staying in carly's room? i can just edit it and get a new room)

(wait, stef, are you Carly's roommate? I'm soooo confused!!!)

((Ok, let's backtrack... Cassandra out her stuff in carly's room...then left West came in and sat on her bed... Carly is still pissed. It doesn't matter, she's still gonna b pissed.))

(I thought Cassie was Carly's roommate but Stef if you wanted I can just move her to a different room?)

(Oooohhhhhhhh. Well now I feel stupid. Sorry for starting the confusion haha!)

Cassie walked into her dorm, intending to play her violin. Then she saw her roommate, a girl with long purple hair. Her roommate looked…well she looked pissed. Trying to quell the awkwardness in the room she raised a hand in greeting and said, "Uh hi I'm Cassie…I guess we're roommates?"

(You and me both. Sorry stef.)

Carly glared at the ginger, contemplating whether or not to rip her throat out and end up with no roommates ever. Lightening coursed through her veins and oh how she wished the sky was dark right now! She gritted her teeth, clenching and unclenching her fists at her sides. She heard Litch whimper, hiding his big body as best he could under her bed.
She smiled the best she could, but it turned out tight and mechanical, menacing.

Cassandra could tell what she was thinking, What the hell was this effing ginger doing in HER room? Clearly this girl was not happy. Her mechanical dog tried to squeeze under the bed and the room filled with static, practically buzzing with electricity, as the girl attempted to smile. To be completely honest, it creeped Cassie out. It was then that Cassie noticed her locked suitcase peeping out from under the bed. Her heart started thumping as she kicked it back under. "Look, I can tell you didn't want a roommate. Nobody wants to spend a year sharing a room with a stranger. But it doesn't have to be unpleasant. Does a mutual understanding sound good?" Cassie said, hoping she sounded persuasive enough to calm the angry storm in front of her. She really didn't want to get on bad terms with anyone at this school right now.

Carly calmed, but her menacing smirk remained, showing her dark side. He laughed darkly, "Suuuure, why not hmm? True, I'd rather decapitate you than share a room, but by the looks of your little hidden suitcase over there,"-she nodded to it-"you're probably thinking the same. Touch my stuff and I won't be so nice." she began to leave the room, "And don't I won't touch any of your dirty sh!t."
She just kept walking the anger building up again, she needed to yell, and what better place to do it than the lake?

Cassandra had expected that. It seemed that the girl thought she was above all others. Cassie hadn't even gotten her name. She also thought that under the bed was an unoriginal and naive hiding spot. How could she make such a rookie mistake? Scrutinizing the camera, Cassie decided that it wouldn't be safe in here, not with her roommate watching her every move. It was kinda weird. This stranger could see everything she did, even watch her get dressed! Cassie lugged the suitcase out in the hall. Ten minutes passed and she re-entered, no suitcase in sight. She opened her violin case and started to play from memory. The sounds of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major, K. 219 filled the Lightning dorm. Cassie regretted not having a pianist by her side to play the duet.

Jet walked into the lightening dorm, still dripping despite the towel, to the sound of a violin. He stopped to where the source was, only to find Cassandra playing. He smirked, leaning on the door frame. "It's a shame, but I don't even think you need a pianist for your Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5."

She looked up, startled by the voice. It was Jet. She let out a sigh of relief, glad it wasn't her roommate. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. "Thanks. I've been working really hard on this piece. I'd hoped to show my dad before I left…" Her dad. Just thinking about him made the scar right above her hairline throb. Cassie shook the memories away and looked back at Jet. "Why is it a shame? Do you play?"

"The piano? Yes. This is a duet if I'm correct. Well, your dad suuure missed out," he said, heading for his room as he tossed the towel to her, "Thanks for that."

She caught the towel and threw it on her bed, intending to pick it up later. "No problem," she murmured, half to herself. Cassie pulled out her sheet music and started to play Devil's Trill by Tartini. She was still learning it.

One of Cassie's disposable phones rang, causing her to put down her violin and bow mid-piece. She grabbed it out of her duffel and with a swift look at the dog and camera on the other side of the room, headed outside to take the call. The only place where her conversation would go unheard was in the woods behind the dorm. She went there.

When Jet got to his room, he closed the door behind and plopped onto his bed, putting in his earphones, and dozing off...

Carly came back to see that the girl was gone...
-But her stuff was still there.
Honestly, Carly could care less about the roommate, or the girl she slapped. Litch greeted her by licking her face, and she laughed.
Her little Litch was fine.

(eh sorry Ive been quiet so long!)

Cassie walked back to her dorm. That was hopefully the last call she would have to take for a while. The money was being deposited and the first stage of the game was set. But when she finally opened the door to her room, intending for at least an hour of quiet to at least look at her schoolwork, she found her roommate in there. Oh God, here we go! Another drama-fest from my socially disinclined she-devil of a roommate. Cassie hurriedly walked in and unzipped her duffel, beginning to unpack.

Carly paid no attention to the witch.

Cassie could feel her roommate-she didn't even know her name !- pointedly ignoring her. The silence was heavy and awkward, but at least she wasn't getting yelled at. Once everything was put away, albeit a little sloppily, she opened the laptop she got cheap at a pawn shop. It got as far as the Dell loading scene then froze. "Dammit!" she muttered under her breath. The old piece of crap never worked right.

((No one texted me. It's been silent all day.))

Carly chuckled at the piece of junk the witch was using. Sucks for her.

Cassie eyed the equipment on her roommate's desk enviously. It was bad enough that her roommate was mean to her, but now she actually had a computer that worked! Her piece of shit Dell was ancient. It was a wonder it hadn't died yet. Cassie sighed and opened the panel on the bottom of the computer. She had a rudimentary idea of how to fix it. Very rudimentary.

(I've been calling you just check)

(be back later)

Cassie felt the familiar prickle on the nape of her neck. Her head snapped out towards the hallway and she saw a girl watching their room. The girl could probably feel the tension from across the hall. Cassie gave her a weak smile, then turned back to her computer, so frustrated with it she almost felt like smashing it against the wall.

Carly ignored the other girl, turning her back to both of them.

Cassandra looked at the girl near the doorway with curiosity and a little bit of gratefulness. She shot a glance near her roomie, then looked back. "Sure. I'm Cassandra," she said, "and this is…" She left that part of the sentence open, raising her voice a little and hoping her roommate would at least respond with her name.

Carly remained silent. She would not fix Litch's fuel until both girls left. However, the large mechanical rottweiler jumped out of her hold, rushing to greet the guest, thinking that the person was Carly's friend.
Oh how wrong he was.

Carly glared out of the corner of her eye, going past the girl with an "Excuse me."
She hated people.
Nothing and no one was going to change her mind.
Litch gave a sorrowful whimper, knowing her parents orders and how unhappy his lady was with this.

Irritated that she heard, Carly sent a small shock of a lightening bolt in West's direction. "Woops! I guess us anti-social people don't know how to control themselves~," she joked in her fake innocent-girly voice. She stalked off.

The lightning bolt just grazed the top of Cassie's hair. It left a singed hair smell in it's wake. She looked at West. "Not anti-social. Just a bitch." She leaned out of the doorway and saw her roommate making a fast retreat. "Hey! You got a real problem ya know that?! Your robot dog is nicer than you! And it's not even capable of feelings!"

At this, Carly stopped, more like froze.
...her parents thought the same... They liked Litch better than her...all because they use to lock her in her room and forget she was there....
"It doesn't matter!" she shouted back, still walking forward, "I'm the robot in this world, you all are just bacteria.-it's called being immune."

For one small second Cassie felt sympathy. Obviously this girl had a troubled past. "You don't have to alienate yourself from everyone. We're all the same here."

Jet walked past a very angry girl, who looked about thirteen. Then he passed by the room where cassandra was. Apparently the two girls were talking to themselves, but looking at that girl.
He began to walk back to his dorm, after he grabbed himself a sandwich. He wished that he could have Alison's grilled cheese right now...
