Willow blushed furiously, clutching her books tightly to her chest and backed up almost against Alden, as if he could somehow protect her from being questioned. "R-R-Ryuu, I didn't even know you knew my name." Now where had that silly stutter come from? She turned to face Alden, then whispered, "he sits a couple of seats behind me in music theory. He's never even said hello before. Why is everyone suddenly talking to me?" This was turning into the strangest day she had ever experienced.

"I'm sorry Ryuu, I'm as mystified as most everyone seems to be. Alden thinks it might have to do with Elevated, but I'm not so sure. There is nothing Elevated about me. I'd rather write stories than worry about my grades too much." She looked around thinking she hardly knew anyone that was milling about the Commons. If Ryuu was like them, maybe he didn't know many of the other students either. "You're welcome to wait with us if you don't know any of the other students out here."

Alden put a protective arm around Willow's shoulder as she seemed to try and meld into him, whispering into her ear, "Maybe it's because you finally stopped trying to be invisible? So we can all see more than just that crazy ca- hair."

Done whispering, Alden straightened back up, "Well, Roland's obviously smart, I think you are... even if you're not concentrated on grades..." Alden jerked my chin toward a girl walking past us, "She's won the Science Festival since 3rd grade." Alden nodded toward a male walking past us, "He wrote a concerto for my 9th birthday." Holding on palm up, Alden made a gesture that said, Just look around, you'll see what I do. "With the exception of me- no arguments about yourself, Willow... can you see anyone who isn't at least a likely candidate for Elevated? Any other link between us all?"

Willow, but hair a little more dramatically carrot orange.

Willow had to admit he had a point, "You're right, but why are 'we' here? Maybe they made a mistake?" Her stomach started filling with flutterbies like it had earlier with her panic attack, but she was quick this time to try and forcefully calm her fears. It was one thing to have spontaneous events happen to the characters in her stories, but when they came in real life they seemed dire indeed. She had just made her first friends..."What if we get sent to different places? Just in case we do, thanks for your help today Alden, Roland. But, maybe we'll get shipped off to the same place? If we get sent anywhere..."

Alden frowned, turned her around and looked into her face, "Wil, Elevated is just another school. We won't get assigned anything for at least a couple of years if we are sent. And who knows... maybe this is some final screening thing... maybe it's-" Alden trailed off, unsure of what else it could be.

A teacher walked by and admonished them for just standing in the hall. Alden looked around and realized that most of the crowd had already moved on, "Well, we can't expect to figure it out... obviously that's not happening- but we won't find out if we don't get to the Great Commons."

((they're still in the halls.;)))

Ryuu noticed Alden's behavior as if he was a protective older brother of sorts, or if not that, than a guy who was interested in her. However, he had to admit that he was indeed rude and he should not be so careless in doing so like that.

He smiled in reply to Willow's blush, finding it quite cute. However, he noticed that he was not welcome in this circle and said, "Sorry for interrupting, but I'll be taking my leave." He nodded his head in Willow's direction before dropped his skateboard and skated off with the rest of the group.

That was then he noticed that a teacher had started talking to them. He didn't say anything but continued on his way. After all, if Alden was acting that way, then Ryuu shouldn't try to interfere in what appears to be a new circle of friends that seemed to have formed between them. Trying to wedge himself into that made him think of the consequences that might come with it. After all, he barely even knew Roland and Alden, however, his observations of his classmates in Music Theory which included Willow, made him know things that one would not usually notice.

He wondered what this was for and was it as Alden had said, that it was for those of the Elevated...

Alden cocked his head after the boy- Ryuu, he believed- who had skated off. Very few people in the school actually still used those. Perhaps, at a later time, he'd have to... 'casually' bring it up. Removing his arm from Willow's shoulder, he placed his second foot on the skateboard and began to slowly roll away, taking Willow's books with one smooth movement, winking, "You don't need to carry 'em now."

Roland had followed the others out of the room and done as he had been doing. He simply watched what was happening and hoped to discover something more important that way. It didn't actually seem to be working, despite the fact that the conversations of others were quite amusing. The conversation turned around to elevated school, and while he wasn't sure who was actually eligible for the elevated program he intended to attend himself. If he didn't get into elevated he sure as hell wasn't going to be attending trade school. Despite that those were his true thoughts he decided to hold to the current mood of his companions.
" If it is indeed an Elevated school informational, it will probably be to inform the potential students. Those of us who show some of the qualities. I can't see them letting me in right now, I've come to school maybe twice, and they don't care how smart a person is if they don't show up to their classes."

He honestly thought that if he wanted to he could teach any of his classes better than the teachers. His teachers hardly new what was going on, and they certainly weren't smarter than he was. Perhaps that was what he didn't like about school, theoretically the people teaching the classes needed to be smarter than him.
"I mourn that which may have been but will never be."

"Stupidity is a wound that bleeds forever; Intelligence is a blade that stays forever sharp"

"An armed man will kill and unarmed man with monotonous regularity"

"Nothing adds a little class to a sniper course like a babe in a Ghillie suit."

"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How long you live depends on how well you do it."

"Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. I may get killed with my own gun, but he's gonna have to beat me to death with it, 'cause it's going to be empty."

"No one really knows what the criteria is, Roland. I mean... that nurse seemed to be saying that having friends would help... how does that make sense?"

They reached the Great Commons along with the rest of the stragglers. There were lines set up into which people were being separated. Alden and Roland were put in one line, Willow the next. Behind them, another group of friends was split. Frowning, Alden looked around to see how well they were being watched. When he realized that the teachers seemed to be just as frazzled as the students, he whispered to the people behind them, "We switch and we can stay with our friends. No one's really watching... I think we'll get away with it."
Looking around, they came to the same conclusion and finally agreed, starting to duck under the 'tape' that made the lines. Alden grinned at Roland, "Come on. Let's not leave our Will all alone in the big scary line... she still has that concussion."

Ryuu and Ramiele were put in the same line, beside each other.

As soon as the teachers separated her from her friends she slammed her eyes shut. This was all too much. It was so unfair. Did the lines mean anything? Why would the nurse suggest they make friends and then split them up? She decided then and there that she hated adults, they weren't consistent, they deceived you. Maybe she was just now realizing something Roland and Alden had known for quite some time.

A slight bump from the person behind her jogged her out of her pity fest. She figured the line must be moving, but when her eyes opened nothing had changed. Turning she was about to scold the person behind her for bumping into her, but the words halted and her mouth hung open for a few seconds as she gathered her thoughts. "Alden what do you think you're doing? What if the lines aren't random? We could get in trouble again." Then the irony of the whole escaped earlier set in. She grinned slightly. "Never mind, I'm glad you're here. I'm not quite as scared as I might have been. Truly I didn't think this stuff would happen till next year."

She watched the teachers sending more students into the lines. Some they separated some they didn't. Maybe it was random after all. They couldn't know every student and where they went. There was no check list. Then a grin tilted her lips up, "thanks for not abandoning me. Have any idea of what might happen next?"

Alden shook his head, a huge grin spreading across his face to match hers, "Not a clue... and truthfully, I think I prefer it that way."
