Overdressed (Cassi)

[Ciaran O'Reilly]

It was a gorgeous day. The sun was shining, the wind was still and the birds were probably tweeting. Ciaran O'Reilly was boiling. He was wearing a long sleeved shirt and long jeans, with thin gloves and thin trainers. He knew he could easily take off some of his clothes, but that would mean showing some skin and he'd rather overheat than do that.

The eleven-year-old was sat on the banking overlooking the field. He just sat, quite content, watching people play and run at the bottom. A usual day in the life of Ciaran O'Reilly didn't involve coming outside, especially not in the Summer, for a number of reasons. First, someone might try to talk to him. Second, he was paranoid about showing flesh, in case shadow fell on it and it turned blue, so in the Summer he was perpetually too hot. But he hadn't yet been shown to his dorm (and he didn't want to approach someone to ask) so there wasn't much else to do than sit out here, people-watching.

Cassi walked through the pearly golden gates; nah, just kidding. She did however walk through the Hammel’s gates. Which were just as cool to her, more so since she wasn’t dying… She skipped through the school grounds. Obviously the little Asian girl didn’t go to this school. Nope not at all but she really wanted to. She waved at the guards as she passed them, she knew a few of the guards personally, and she believed all of them knew her. Cassi went to the middle school in town, the only reason why she was able to get inside Hammel was being her parents worked here, and her older sister attended Hammel. She really hoped one of these days she would be able to attend here too. It was that reason why she always envied Appoline, but she was happy for her sister; the older girl deserved to be special, granted she had always been special to Cassi, but now everyone else can see how special she was!

Cassi danced through the courtyard, Hammel school was actually out now, her school always got out earlier than Hammel school; she found that a little weird, maybe it was because school had just started? Right now she had her headphones on listening to Morning Musume with her cd player. As she wondered through the courtyard, spinning, and skipping, and just dancing; she spotted a boy with very hot clothes on, why was he wearing long sleeves and pants on a hot day like this? She rummaged through her bag looking for her cd player to turn it off, as she walked over to the boy. “Hi! I’m Cassi Meian” she waved after she got closer to him. Bowing before offering her question, “Watche doin?”

Ciaran spotted a small Asian girl coming towards him. He hadn't seen her in school before, but he hadn't seen most of the people before, so that wasn't really saying anything. She was listening to a cd player, which she promptly turned off when she came near. Who listened to cd players anymore? Couldn't you get things a tenth of the size with, like, a hundred times more songs? Either she was too young, couldn't afford it or just preferred this. Ciaran guessed the second.

"Oh, err... Hi. I'm just err... Enjoying the weather..."

Cassi smiled at Ciaran, “Isn’t a little too hot to be enjoying the weather in clothes like those?” There was a reason why he wasn’t seen her, yet she did come here often that students did know who she was. She liked it that way, she figured she was making future friends for when she finally manifested. Granted she was just assuming she was going to get powers, but why wouldn’t she? Everyone in her family that she knew of was meta, why couldn’t she be one? As for the cd player, this wasn’t a choice, her parents didn’t want her to have a ipod or anything like that, this was the best she could get. She really didn’t mind it though, it was a pain sometimes, but she was used to it.
