Field Dancing {Open}

[Jez Steele]

Jez stood in the middle of the field, twirling slightly as her bracelets jingled merrily. Her da gave her a silver bracelet every year for her birthday, it was like her own soundtrack. There was no one else out in the middle of the field, it was a dark, rainy day and it reminded Jez of Scotland. She started dancing with her eyes closed, just remembering a time when she would dance during the Highland games and her brothers would dance with her. She smiled softly as she continued dancing until suddenly she heard a noise behind her. Jez's eyes flew open and she spun around, instantly falling into a defensive stance.

[Mia Bell]

Mia was walking around the school, not something she should have been doing when it looked like it was going to rain. She had gotten herself lost, again. For what seemed like the hundredth time. She needed to get a map of the place or something. It didn’t help trying to figure out where everything was when you kept getting lost. She was glad she didn’t bring Spike, her pet baby snake out with her. She was sure he wouldn’t like the rain at all. Now she didn’t even remember where she was trying to go or what part of the school she was looking for. She hated getting lost because she hated asking people for help. It wasn’t something she enjoyed.

It was raining and she was wet, and not happy. Though she was glad it wasn’t raining because of her, she wasn’t sad, or upset with anyone at the moment so she knew she wasn’t effecting the weather. Mia knew she was going to get a cold in the next couple of days, that was for sure, she just hoped she didn’t get pneumonia. She stopped in her tracks when she saw a blonde dancing, dancing in the rain, that was a bit cliché. She took a step back and put her hand up. “Sorry… Sorry I didn’t mean to scare or sneak up on you. I swear.” Her pink hair was plastered to her face; she ran a hand through her hair to get it out of her face. Mia didn’t even realize the girl was there.

[Jez Steele]

Jez watched her for a moment before skipping over to her with the grace of a cat with a smile on her face, "It's okay. I know you didn't mean to. I tend to get carried away when it's raining. It reminds me of home," she held out her hand to the girl, "Hi, my name is Jez, what's yours?"

She had never seen that hair color on anyone work so well and she cocked her head to the side, some of her blond hair falling forward into her face but she just pushed it back with a smile, "I like your hair by the way, very cool color. I don't think I could ever pull that off," she instantly covered her mouth with a guilty smile, "Sorry I'm rambling aren't I?"

[Mia Bell]

Mia blinked away water drops on her eyes as she watched Jez watch her. At first impression, this girl seemed a little weird. But Mia knew not to judge someone from first impressions. Mia Smiled back gently as she hugged herself, wishing she had brought a jacket for something. She was getting slightly cold. She nodded “Ah, I can understand that. I feel the same way about snow.” Yes snow, if it was snowing you would see Mia dancing in the snow and just all around playing in it. She had no problem just sitting in snow either. “Hi, Names Mia. Nice to meet you.” She said as she shook the girls hand and then went back to hugging herself.

Mia smiled and blushed a little “Ah Why thank you. I don’t think I can pull off being a blonde… So we’re even!” She winked at her. Was she already starting to make another friend here at Hammel? She didn’t expect it to go this well, she figured she would be a loner for most of her first year. Mia grinned and shook her head slightly “Well you kid of are, but you’re fine.” She looked up at the sky and squinted “Aren’t you afraid of getting sick? Though I guess if this is regular weather for you, your pretty immuned to it right?” She tilted her head to the side, looking over the girls outfit. It didn’t seem all the warm; Mia would have thought she put on something warmer if she planned on dancing in the rain.

[Jez Steele]

Jez looked down at her outfit and nodded her head, "Yeah, see I was in the library when I saw it raining and," she shrugged, "just couldn't help myself."

Jez saw that the other girl looked to be a little cold, she pushed her hair out of her face and nodded towards the student lounge, "Do you want to go inside? I suppose it would be a little cold if you weren't used to it."

Even as she spoke the rain started to lighten and she looked up at the sky as the clouds started moving away and lightening in thickness.

[Mia Bell]

Mia blinked, amazed that the girl would actually go out of her way to dance in the rain. Then again, if she saw snow here for the first time she would stop whatever it was she was doing and go outside to dance in the snow. “I guess we both have our elements then, right? Because if it was snow I would have done the exact same thing.” She looked up at the sky and stuck her tongue out while closing her eyes; showing off her tongue ring. After a second she looked at Jez and shook her head “Yeah, it’s not the same as snow…”


Mia looked at the school and nodded “Sure, if you wouldn’t mind?” She blinked away more water from her eyes “Sorry… I didn’t mean to disturb you or anything.” She kind of felt bad, that she was making the girl stop her dancing. She wanted to do just the same in just in her element of weather so bad. She missed everything that had to do with her hometown. She looked up at the sky and saw the clouds slowly moving away, along the path the wind was taking them. A slight breeze moved over the field and she shivered as the wind passed her from behind; making her hair go into her face and she moved to push her hair back, running her hand through her hair.

[Jez Steele]

Jez shrugged slightly, "It's okay hun. I should get back inside before I get a cold."

When the breeze started Jez shivered as well and started heading for the student lounge, "So, where do you come from that has snow?"

While Scotland had snow every now and then rain was their main weather and that is what reminded Jez of home most.

[Mia Bell]

Mia smiled and nodded “Alright. Then shall we?” She started walked to the lounge and looked back at Jez to make sure she was following. It would be pretty awkward if she had started talking and she wasn’t following her, so she would end up talking to herself.

Mia looked at Jez “Alaska.. Barrow, Alaska. Which is worse than any other part of Alaska, and even America if you think about it.. It is really cold there but I love it.” There was nothing else she loved more than the snow and the cold, Alaska is where she grew up, and she didn’t see herself living anywhere else. She was used to snow cold but not rain cold.

Mia walked into the lounge and shook her head trying to get the loose water off her hair. She didn’t realize she might have been spraying Jez with water. She ran a hand through her hair getting it out of her face and then started to ring out her shirt.

[Jez Steele]

Jez started to follow Mia and thought about it for a moment, "I wouldn't know. I've never been to Alaska. I haven't really been a lot of places in America. Just here mainly."

She squeaked slightly as Mia started spraying her before she started ringing out her own clothes and hair. Her feline personality didn't really like the water all that much but Jez always out ruled that instinct, if it was raining, she was outside if she could help it.

[Mia Bell]

Mia blinked and nodded “Yeah, other than here I haven’t really been anywhere else. My family doesn’t take a lot of trips..” They really couldn’t afford it, the people in her homeland are on the poor side of the U.S. But she didn’t mind at all, it taught her to be grateful for what she did have. “What about you? Where are you from?”

Mia looked at Jez and scratched the back of her head with a slight smile “Sorry…” She sat on the floor; she didn’t want to get any of the furniture wet. “So, how long have you been here? “ Mia herself had only been here for a little more than a week. She was getting along with the school in general really well, she has made a couple friends, though she could do without having to see the school’s Psychiatrist.

[Jez Steele]

Jez smiled softly, "Scotland, Highlands actually."

She sat down on the floor by Mia and stretched out slightly. She pulled off her t-shirt to reveal a black tank top underneath and she shivered slightly as the wind caressed her skin. She threw her shirt over the back of a nearby chair and leaned back on her hands, "I've actually been here since Freshman year. This school is amazing, I love it here."

[Mia Bell]

Mia blinked “woah, You’re from a totally different country then…” And she thought her home state was far, Jez was even father. “What’s it like in Scotland?” She was curious; she was Irish on her dad’s side and wondered what the differences were between the two countries.

Mia gave Jez a warm smiled as she sat next to her. Unlike the blonde she did not have a tank top under her shirt so taking her shirt off wasn’t going to happen with her. “Cold?” She saw the girl shiver and wished she had brought a jacket now for the other girl. That or wished they were in her dorm, that way they could both change (Mia had no problem lending her clothes to the girl). She ran her fingers through her hair.

“Oh wow. You’ve been here for a long time then?” The girl didn’t look too young, around her own age. So she would have been here or about three or four years, maybe two depending on how old the girl is. She smiled “I haven’t been here for very long. I’m still getting used to everything here.”

[Jez Steele]

Jez instantly smiled and thought about it as she answered Mia, "Green, green and green as far as the eye can see. We host the Highland Games every year and my da and three brothers always participate in the Games. We have tones of ruins in Scotland, most of them are castles and manors."

Jez looked up at the girl as she asked if she was cold, "No, just with the breeze it's a little chilly."

She instantly smiled when the girl mentioned that she hadn't been here for very long, "This will be my last year as a senior, as long as I can pass my academic courses."

[Mia Bell]

Mia blinked “Sounds the opposite of Alaska.. Where I’m from it’s white, white, and even more white.” They really had no grass where she was from because of a few reasons, it never really rained, it snowed way too much, and it was way too cold. She rather lay in snow or dirt than grass anyway, grass always had her itchy, but then again dirt made her butt dirty and snow made it wet. None of those things were positive. But she found herself more comfortable sitting in snow and dirt.

Mia nodded “yeah agreed. It also doesn’t help that we’re both soaked.” A fireplace would be ideal right now. Another thing she missed about her home.

She nodded, so she was right about how long she had been here. “Wow, everyone my age seems to have been here for years… I feel weird knowing others around my age have more control over their powers than I do.” Granted she hadn’t had them for long, she was a late bloomer. “It’s cool you’re going to graduate soon though. Are you going to stick around Vermont for college or are you going back to Scotland?”

[Jez Steele]

Jez laughed softly, "I would hope so."

She pushed some of her wet hair out of her face, "I'm sure you'll have control of your powers soon. I was able to control my powers easily but academics," she made a face, "not so cool. If it weren't for my brother I wouldn't be graduating this year at all. I'm horrible at math."

When Mia asked her if she was going to be staying in Vermont or going back to Scotland she gave it serious thought, "I think I may go abroad for a year in Scotland then come back here. I love Scotland don't get me wrong but Vermont has it's perks as well. What about you? What are you going to do after you graduate?"
