The geek at midnight (Open)

[Onya Falch]

Onya was sitting on the floor in a corner of the first floor dorm building. There by herself near midnight, she had snuck down here to get something to snack on from the vending machines. Somehow she found herself in the corner reading. Oh! Now she remembered, someone came along, one of the dorm monitors; no one was suppose to be out of their dorm rooms this late at night. Which is why she hid in the corner next to a couch and an end table; weird how she would be able to fit in this corner… She held her book that was in her hands tightly to her chest as she watched the man walk back up stairs; she guessed he was doing the nightly rounds, making sure no one was up to no good. It made sense to her.



However, other than sneaking out of her dorm to get a late night snake she really was a goody two shoes. She didn’t get in trouble, because trouble meant detention and conflict, and she wanted neither of those things; because both of those were negative things. Any ordinary person would have went back to their rooms, especially after getting what they wanted, and she got what she wanted. But she was too afraid that the Dorm monitor would catch her, she didn’t know if he went back to his room or if he was still walking around. She figured he might not come back down to the first floor, and her the world of war craft book that was in her hands was calling her name. So, she opened the book and started to read it, soon after she read a few sentences illusions started to appear around her; she had been practicing making the illusions silent, and that was what she was trying to do at the moment, and hoping it would work.



If anyone were to find the girl, it would be a very interesting sight indeed. For she was wearing her pjs, a pair of grey sweatpants, a pink t-shirt with geek hello kitty, while wearing glasses, with her hair up in a high neat pony tail. The sixteen year old was easy to pick on while she was like this, reading, glasses, dorky t-shirt, and hiding in a corner; a situation any bully would dream of.

It was no joke that Ari was extremely bored. As much as she liked to believe teenagers were up to mischeif this late at night, maybe some of them were actually in their dorm rooms sleeping. However, that didn't stop her from making her rounds through the halls in the dormitories, mostly because she had nothing better to do, but sit in her dorm room and blast The White Stripes in her ears. If anything was happening in the dorm, she really didn't want to hear it, even if that was her job. It was too disturbing sometimes to hear conversations she wasn't meant to or other things...

She rounded the corner, upon hearing something. It sounded like someone was reading, or something. It was probably really quiet, but her power only amplified the sounds. She walked towards it and found a girl hiding in a corner, book close to her chest. The story was reading itself? And there were images portruding from the pages, something Ari had yet to see around here, and while it was fascinating, this girl was also out of her room past midnight. It was a strange situation to approach, mostly because she'd left her room and broke the rules to read a book in a secluded corner and Ari wasn't sure what to make of that.

"You're aware that the curfew is midnight, aren't you?" she asked the blonde.

Onya hadn’t heard the woman come down the stairs, too caught up in her book to notice anything. At this moment all she really wanted was to go back to her room. She would have gladly made her way back to her room if she didn’t think she was going to get caught. Though, obviously she was going to get caught anyways. She normally never did anything against the rules; she knew that there were there for a reason. She was always a good girl, never did anything out of the ordinary. So, why had she done it this time? Her stomach growled, oh that’s why, she felt like her stomach was eating itself…

Onya jumped, and slammed the book shut when she heard the voice. As soon as she had stopped reading the images had disappeared. She looked up at the woman standing before her, pushing up her glasses, she gulped. “I..I I’m sorry..” She quickly stood up, looking at the floor instead of the woman. “Yes I am aware of that..” it wasn’t like she was stupid… The woman could give her a little more credit than that.. But she wasn’t going to say that.. She swallowed hard, “I just came down to get a snack..”

The girl jumped up a little too quickly, the images fading as she snapped the book shut. "That's quite the power you've got there," Ari commented. It was nice to see something out of the ordinary, sure having powers wasn't normal in the first place, but she was sick of seeing the typical pyrokinetics and mind readers. This power was entertaining to see the least. It was fun.

"Where's your snack?" she asked the young girl casually, crossing her arms. It wasn't as if the girl was doing anything wrong beyond being out of her dorm past the time she should be, but Ari did have to give her the same treatment as everyone else, even if she did seem like the type of student that was a stickler to the rules.
