MutantHigh Episode3: Speed limit

Clair looks indecisive if he wants to actually follow through with his idea. Cursing himself for his indecisiveness, he thinks, Well might made right for that Misha fellow, so why wouldn't it work for just a highschool jest? He thinks, convincing himself at least for the time being.

Whenever he can get ahold of Jose relatively out of everyone's hearing range, Clair goes up to him and starts conversing, "Hey, I don't think you know me, but my name's Clair." He says as he holds out his hand in greeting. For a little bit, he talks about math and how much homework they have, trying to make Jose feel a bit more comfortable before casually inserting, "It's hard to be new here with all those bullies around, like Rico and Chale..." He pauses to see Jose's reaction before adding, "I just wish there was some way to teach those guys a lesson-well, I guess there's a way but I couldn't do it myself."

Trying to keep the other teen's interest, Clair continues, "You see, I'm one of those people that are called Deltas, and I have the ability to make someone really strong-and quick, although the catch is I can't do it to myself." He sighs, "I just wish some one would be willing to take on those bullies, I mean, practically anyone with a boost from me could take them on-I can just imagine the looks on their faces as they get a taste of their own medicine." He tries to say as convincingly as possible. He begins to shift the conversation elsewhere, but if Jose looks to be willing to give it a shot he finishes, "Actually, if you're interested in giving it a go, I'll meet you after school tomorrow-no pressure, of course." Clair will then leave to see what the others are off to, a slight grin on his face if he's successful.

Katie frowns at her, not liking how she referred to Eris. Her insistence on fairness worked both ways. From what she saw, Eris seemed very nice.



Again with the cryptic messages Katie thought with eyebrows creasing. I'm not the telepath! I'm guessing them mean some kind of competition but what do they think? That I'll just automatically know what it is?

Though before she could ask further they skated off and she sighed to herself, deciding to spend the rest of the afternoon skating around the institute until everyone got out of school.

Ray drives to the back of a parked car and gets another board out of the trunk. He gets back to Katie and throws it to her.
"Come on, or do you want to spent your break just sitting around? Don't let my crazy friends confuse you, they are just a bit excited. There's a skating competition tonight, been waiting for that for a month. But they take only teams of four. People from all over the country will be there and it will be on TV. That's one big chance to show what we've got. Then we saw you at the mall we wanted to ask you but nobody's seen you at school till today. So you'r in for some fun or not? We won't kick ya ass if you say no either. Except for Alita maybe, who knows what that girl does..."
He smiles encouragingly and gets back on his board. From behind him Alita calls: "Hey we're not crazy!" She points to Santos. "Well maybe he is..."

Joey watches, not sure what is up with the skaters, "Hey Katie, catch you after your last class, and watch who you call names," he says with venom, to the skaters after referring to Eris as a bitch. He turns to Eris, "Come on lets grab something to eat, I don't much like their attitude, like loads of bad karma..."

Joey holds out his hand to Eris...

Ray ignores him but answers Katie.
"You know with THE BITCH she ususaly means Eslarne, i don't think Alita was talking bout you'r friend other than thinking you'r from their clique since she was around."
He shrugs.
"If she hangs with the people she will get the image, it's just like that. I don't care aniway but Alita had to cope with a lot from those girls. She's so not chilled then it comes to them."

Katie caught the board with one hand, the other still hanging onto Joey's apple. One practiced passed over the board, assessing its capabilities before she swung it back at him. "I've got my own with me, thanks," came her reply but she was smiling none-the-less. "The competition sounds like my kind of thing, but I already promised someone else that I would help them re-learn how to skate tonight."

She turns her smile on Joey and waves at both him and Eris behind her. Noticing Joey offering Eris his hand, she wonders about the rumors she had been hearing about school. I guess they really are a couple, she thought, feeling some disappointment but happiness for Eris.

Then her attention turns back to them others, her face looking a little more serious, especially at Alita. "I don't really know you guys and I'm stoked you're all skaters, but Eris is my roommate and hopefully she'll become a good friend. I don't want to hear you call her that, okay?"

Joey gives Katie a wink, as their eyes meet, not sure what she is thinking, but his mind is pretty much on target, he flashes a quick smile to Katie, as he turns to Eris.

Eris lets out a small laugh at the bitch comment, it didn't really bother her, its the way things went, Alita was just jealous, probably. The fact that Joey was sticking up for her almost made her purr in pleasure. "Its fine J, it really is, no need for you to be a jerk, she's just jealous, besides I don't think they like anyone who can't skate. I wonder if that thing tonight includes bladers, that I can definitely do. Besides, it looks like Katie wants to go, maybe if we cheer her on tonight she'll loosen up on giving us work in class." she whispers to Joey, with a feral gleam in her eye at the prospect of going to something with the energy of the x-games, it would give her a chance to use those roller-blades she had picked up at the mall, they weren't top of the line, just good enough to blade in private, but if she did well enough, she could probably flirt her way into a better pair.

Eris accepts Joey's hand but doesn't let him lead her off. "So are you gonna let Katie put off teaching you tonight so she can compete? I'm sure you'll be able to pick up some stuff just by watching, so whats it going to be?"

Joey nodded, "Hey Katie, why don't you try out the contest, I want to see your moves, so go ahead, alright? Besides I think Eris wants to go too, I can cheer you on or something, and either way, we can grab something to eat later right, afterwards?"

Joey turned to Eris, with a slight whisper, "Wouldn't mind seeing your moves either," he smirked, and then turned Katie, "don't worry about it, this sounds like a lot more fun anyways."

Joey will then lead Eris off, if she allows him, trying not to be pushy, of course.

"I bet you say that to all the girls." Eris whispers right back winking at Joey. "We really do want to see you there tonight Katie." she says to her room-mate smiling so that Katie could tell she was being genuine.

She allowed Joey to lead her away after saying good-bye to Katie. "J, I need to ask you something, you might not like it, but I do like Katie, and I want to be her friend, even if she does go off the deep end with work she gives us." she says, her eyes twinkling merrily. "You seem to like both of us a lot, so, which one of us is it that you like the most? I mean just tell me, I can be cool with just being friends, I think Katie probably could too, but I am not sure, don't know her well enough yet, butg since we are room-mates I don't want to get into a big fight over you, not that Katie seems like the type for a big fight, she's just too sweet."

Joey's wink made her cheeks pinken only slightly, but Katie returned it with rather brillant smile. She looked thoughtful at both Joey's and Eris' statements - both of them seeming to support her really truly desire to a competition - before a laughing smile broke over her delicate features. "Alright then! Looks like I'm bringing two cheerleaders along." She gave a mischievous wink to Joey and Eris.

"You skaters have got me interested now. Tell me about this skateboarding competition and get me sold." Vibrant dark eyes twinkled and she barely could sustain the half-serious expression on her face just before she took a bite of Joey's apple. A pause for chewing, swallowing and a trouble-making smile. "Cuz you know once you have me, winning is assured."
