Cassandra was down on her knees and her hands were muddy. She was tending to her flowers. They were really rare. She smiled as she made one of the breeds grow an inch. She reached for her wand and watered the plant's. She sank to her heels and shied happily.
She had been at ADSFGMP for 3 years. She had never been happier. She loved the school and everything about it. She loved her power and what she could do with it. But she did miss her parents. She laid down in the grass "ces't la vie"

Elena wandered through the gardens, boredom plain on her face. She had two hours to kill until her next class, and nothing to occupy herself with. Well, she could always do her homework. Elena snorted derisively at the thought. Yeah, right.
With a yawn, Elena turned a corner in the gardens, and then caught sight of a girl lying in the grass. She'd seen the girl around a few times before, and thought that she was in the Earth house, if she was remembering correctly, but had never really spoken to her before. May as well, she thought. Wasn't as if it would hurt. And so, Elena walked over and sat down on a stone bench nearby the other girl, and said with a smile, "Hello." |

Cassandra looked up when a girl she had seen a couple of times greeted her. "oh hey" she said and smiled as she hoisted herself up to her elbows. She looked like she was in the fire house. "My name is cassandra" she said and sat up all the way to stick her hand out for the girl to shake.
The first thing she noticed about her was that she had pink hair. The pink hair looked good with her eyes, they were hazel.

Elena stuck out her own hand to give Cassandra's a brief shake, and said, "I'm Elena. Elena Jade." Drawing her hand back to rest against the cool stone of the bench again, Elena glanced around the gardens - they were fairly empty, only a couple of people walking through them in the distance. Elena supposed most of the lower-classmen had classes at this time. "So what are you doing out here, Cassandra?" she asked, looking back at the other girl. |

Adam was as always trying to push limits of what he could do, he trained with his power every day, not only his spells, but also his power, the same power that had allowed him to get into this school. Adam Trained by sucking the water out of the grass around him, making it wither and die, obviously to most people’s dislike, but he didn´t care, if they wanted something they better say it up close and personal, instead of just glaring at him.
The water he had collected, he froze and then made into a liquid again, that was quiet easy, and no problem at all for Adam, and actually pretty boring, he could the basics of his ability, manipulate water was as easy as killing an insect with a spell. So he let the water drop to the ground with a loud splash, though making sure that none of it hit his clothes.
Adam's eyes fell upon some flowers, they seemed rare, and rare flowers often contained poison, a liquid which was much harder to control than pure water. He had not seen the two girls close to the flowers; his attention was fully at the flowers. Adam took a seat crossing his legs so he was in a meditative sitting position, and while doing so he were placing himself in the dead middle of all the withered grass.
Adam began to focus all his attention at the flowers, imagining veins of an unknown substance running through the flowers. Drops began to seep out of the flowers and then fly towards Adam, one by one as they were pulled out of the flowers. All the drops stopped only inches from his face. He didn´t seem surprised at all, of course the drops went to his head, he wasn´t using his hands at all for this, though it would be much easier and much more boring.

Cassandra was about to answer Elena when she noticed that her flowers were draining liquid and the liquid flying away. She jumped up and growled with anger. She spotted the boy and ran gracefully at him her face red with anger. She jumped him and swung her fist at his face before getting up and making vines grow out of the grass and bind him to the ground. "you prat!" she yelled at him. "what the hell is wrong with you! she said and held her wand behind her watering the plant's and then healing them with her hand. "would you care to explain why the hell you destroy my plant's and apparently the grass too for fun?!" she yelled. She was so mad that anyone in the right state of mind would have avoided her.

Elena's pink-tinted eyebrows raised and she stood up from the bench to follow Cassandra. "Whoa, whoa, guys," she said, holding her hands out between the two to keep them apart. "I think we all just need to chill out, now." |

Adam was actually taken by surprise as the woman attacked him, he had at the last second made the liquid move in-between him and the attacking hand, using the liquid as a shield to take some of the force of the punch away, though he was still hit pretty hard, and he therefore fell down on the back, were he was bound to with vines.
"you prat! what the hell is wrong with you!"
"What is wrong with me? Nothing, I needed some rare plants to train on, and yours caught my eyes first... Don´t take it personal I would have done the same to any other rare plant" Adam said, as he used the liquid he had gathered as a knife to cut all the vines up with, allowing him to get up into a standing position.
"Whoa, whoa, guys... I think we all just need to chill out, now."
"Yeah listen to her, it is only plants, you know you can always just grow some new ones." Adam said, as he swept some of the dirt of his clothes. Adam didn´t understand why the woman was so happy for those plants, they weren´t really worth that much, and they weren´t even pretty, actually all they could be used for was as practice. "Well, seems like an introduction will is needed." Adam said, slightly, though he wasn´t intending of befriending those two women, he was just polite. "The name is Adam Abbot, and what do people call girls like you two?" Adam asked; as he let his eyes quickly move over the two girls, making sure that he would be able to recognize them again.

"useless!" she screamed, not ready to let this go. "MY! rare plant's can be used for much more than you give them credit for and if you don't leave them alone I'll have moss grow on your skin until you suffocate." she hissed. She growled and held her hand out proving her point by making some moss grow on his hands. "Cassandra and you'll regret what you did" she hissed and turned on her heal heading for her plants and sinking down in a massive bad mood as she tended to them pulling the weeds out and pouting. How dare he do that, she thought as she brushed her hair back and pulled one knee up to her chest and rested the side of her face on her knee as she held her hand over the plant's making them grow and heal in the beam of her hand.

Elena grimaced at the harsh words exchanged, and reminded herself that she had been hoping to find something to liven up her day. But she didn't enjoy fighting - well, unless it was her doing the fighting, and with someone she really felt deserved it. Then it was perfectly fine with her. "I'm Elena," she said briefly to Adam with a sigh, glad to see the fight dispelled. She then turned to Cassandra and asked awkwardly, "So, er, are your plants going to be alright?" To be honest she really didn't see the appeal of the things. She'd set more than one tree on fire for practice before, but she felt this wasn't the most opportune time to go around announcing that. |

"useless...MY! rare plant's can be used for much more than you give them credit for and if you don't leave them alone I'll have moss grow on your skin until you suffocate." "Cassandra and you'll regret what you did"
"Whatever... not like I care about plants... was only doing it for the poison." Adam said as he trie to shake the moss of, though to no affect, he would have to check on it later, since he didn´t know any spells that could make moss disappear from one’s own body.
"I'm Elena,
"Well a pleasure to meet you, I would shake your hand, but well my hands are all mossy." Adam said, instead nodding slightly, there was no reason to not be polite towards Elena, since she hadn´t suddenly attacked him because of some plants. Cassandra sounded like one of those rich girls that didn´t want people to touch their stuff whatever that were, in this case it obviously were her plants.
"So..." Adam said as he scratched the back of his head slightly, as he tried to think of something to start a conversation with. "What can you do Elena? I mean besides magic of course." Adam tried to smile, though it only ended with a faint smile, he was not sure of what to think of Elena, maybe she could become a friend maybe not.

Cassandra looked back at Elena when she spoke "yes, but it was close" she said glaring at Adam. She stood up and drew her wand out casting an invisible protecting charm around the flowers. She looked at Adam trying to shake the moss off. "that won't work" she said bitterly and walked over to him and reached for his hands turning them over and held her own over his, using her power to make the moss go away and fall to the ground. She looked at him bitterly and started walking off to class again.

"Um, well, that's good, then," Elena said to Cassandra, trying to seem pleased for the plants. In response to Adam's question, she raised a hand palm-up and focused on it until a small fireball burst into life above her hand. "Pyrokinesis," she said briefly, before tossing the fireball into a nearby fountain, where it died with an angry hiss, a cloud of steam roiling up in its wake. "And you, er- suck juice from plants?" |

Adam watched as he saw how the woman got the moss away, she had obviously either a big knowledge of plant based magic, or she had some kind of plant based ability, he believed more in the last possibility. Adam then nodded, one of those not caring nods. Adam did not care about those flowers anything worth with them was their poison, nothing more.
"Pyrokinesis."
Adam looked at the woman as she conjured a flame and then threw it into a nearby fountain, it was a pretty impressive power, though it obviously needed a little work on the control, if that was all she could conjure. "Well, it is a pretty nice thing you got there." Adam then said, obviously trying to compliment her ability, since Adam would have liked to have something like that.
"And you, er- suck juice from plants?"
"I do that to, but I am a Hydrokinetic... I can control any kind of liquid, be it water, poison, potions, if it is a liquid, then I can control it." Adam said, as he raised his hand, and the water in the fountain levitated up into the air. Adam then pointed at the water with his index finger, and began to move his index finger around in a circle, the water then began to spin around in a big ball of water.
Adam then let the water splash down into the fountain again, making it splash all over Elena and Adam, or at least it would if Adam hadn´t made sure to stop the water that was going to hit Elena and Adam. "This is only the basics though; I am still not that good at using this." Adam was not one to say things if it wasn´t real, he actually believed that he was not yet good enough to use this ability.

Before leaving for class she turned around and made a rosebush grow by her feet and she picked the prettiest out of the bush. She made the bush grow back into the ground as she smelled the rose. "Abott, stay the hell away from my plant's if you know what's good for you" she said and started walking away "see you later Elena." she then walked to class, it was potion's now... she didn't want to be late. In her hand she had a vile of some of the poison Abott had sucked out of her plant.. it was quite rare, she was sure the potion's teacher would love a sample of it.

Elena shrugged at Adam's attempt at a compliment and said, "Thanks." She watched him manipulate the water, and raised her eyebrows slightly, impressed. "Pretty groovy," she said. "You look better at controlling your ability than I am at mine. The fire is easy to create, and easy to feed, but dousing it - that's the hard part. And, coincidentally, the most important part."
She flashed a peace sign after Cassandra in a merry farewell, and checked her own watch to make sure she wasn't going to be late to class. Nah, she still had plenty of time. She wasn't in a rush to get to Meditation class anyway. She always ended up falling asleep. |

"Pretty groovy... You look better at controlling your ability than I am at mine. The fire is easy to create, and easy to feed, but dousing it - that's the hard part. And, coincidentally, the most important part."
"Thank you... The trick is in keeping my mind calm at all times, when you’re using my ability... Maybe you should try doing the same thing." Adam asked, he didn´t know much about fire manipulation, so it was only a wild guess, but maybe it would work, it had with him, so why not with her? Adam was unsure of what to say, this pink haired girl seemed nice, maybe she could become a good friend, and at least she got a power he liked, that would make sure that he wouldn´t get into a fight with her.
Adam didn´t do anything as the woman named Cassandra left, he didn´t care about her, and actually he was well aware of the fact that she was going to use some of the poison he had collect as a way to please a professor, probably the potion professor, Adam was alright with that, taking the fame for his job, that was alright. He already had a counter plan, he would make it look like she was a little to active down stairs, it would be so humiliating for her, and extremely fun for him.

Elena wrinkled her nose at that, sitting back down on the stone bench she'd vacated earlier, pulling her legs up to sit cross-legged. "Eurgh, sounds like what the Meditation teacher tells me. Never could get that. They say to relax, but also to focus - how can someone do both at the same time? I always end up drifting off. It's her fault anyway, all the incense she lights makes me drowsy. And the pillows we sit on are way too comfy for class. In short, I suck at meditation." |

Adam giggled slightly as she began to talk about the meditation classes, he always fell asleep in them, the teacher weren´t that happy about that of course, but that was nothing of Adam's concern. "It is not like meditation.... When you meditate you clean your mind of things... But to do this you need to focus and keep your mind calm; it is not supposed to be clean of anything." Adam said, that was how he did it, he didn´t have to delete all his thoughts he just had to stay calm and focused on what he wanted to happen, it was pretty easy when you first had gotten used to it.
"Try it, it can´t hurt you." Adam said, as he looked at Elena, maybe she was going to try his technique, maybe not. Adam was actually not that interested if she did it now or later, he had told her how to do it, so she knew it know, and therefore she wouldn´t need his help anymore, though he stayed to keep the girl company.
