Forever Changed [Open]

[Deleted]

Ava knew that deep down inside she was too reserved but she could not help it. Unlike her sister she also did not exactly know when to turn her emotions on and off. It did not help that she could barely control her gift, or power too which was why she was trying to let it slide but as she stood waiting to make her entrance at the school she also was aware that once she entered that was the end of ever thinking that she was normal.

Not that it ever bothered her, not being normal but she also knew that she was going to be forever changed which in some cases was not a bad thing at all. So she walked around the grounds, just not ready to go in just yet.

[MAKYAH BELLE KINSLEY]

She was running late, again, nothing new really. Makyah had always been one to wait until the last minute to do anything. This morning it had been packing her bags. She hated that she had to stay at the school during the year. She had only spent half of the year in the dorm rooms last year and was unfortunate enough to have a roommate who thought bathing was a once a month kind of thing. The smells... Makyah shivered just thinking about it. She didn't want to have that experience again, so she set her alarm for six to wake her up so she could get to the school as early as possible to get a singles dorm room.

But of course she had forgotten that she had been throwing a hissy fit the night before and hadn't actually packed anything. Her brother was all smiles as she dragged her half opened suitcase through the front door of their apartment that morning. Giving her a sarcastic wave as she flipped him off. Then of course, she forgot she didn't have a car, and would have to walk the six blocks to the school. Which made her even more frustrated as she punched her shirts and pants into the suitcase in order to close it properly.

Now with a grumpy attitude she lugged her suitcase over the curb outside the school and paused for a moment to take a deep breath and control her inner rage. Alright. Time to start fresh. Hopefully. She glanced at the suitcase besides her and reached towards her shoulder to adjust the strap of her purse. When he hand came away empty Makyah nearly screamed.

"OF COURSE! Of course, I forgot my purse! What made me think I hadn't left it at that stupid apartment? UGH! She threw her arms up in the air. Exasperated with the entire situation. Thankfully her phone was shoved into her pocket and she was able to text her brother to grab it for her.

Seb, can you grab my purse? It's by the front door.

She started walking again, glaring at her phone in one hand, the other gripped tightly around the suitcase handle. She hadn't gotten far before Seb texted back:

The number you have dialed is currently not in service. If you would like to reach this person, please add a please to any and all further requests.

You son of a... Her thought was interrupted mid sentence as she found herself walking straight into another person. "Oaf! Oh my god!" And down she went in a sprawl on the ground.

Let me know if this is okay!

Ava felt her hair cascade across her shoulders as she turned and looked at the girl. She let out a gentle tone as she spoke.

Ava
"Pretty sure it's just as much my fault too,"

she said politely. She hope that her voice came across as polite as it was intended but you never knew truthfully.

Ava
"My name is Ava Ravenmore,"

she said as she extended a hand. Ava needed friends and she figured that this was just as good of any to start and so far this girl had done nothing to her to make her feel like she should be mean, not that Ava had a mean bone in her body anyway.

Ava
"Who are you?"

She pushed her brown hair behind her ear and awaited a response, as politely as she could.

Makyah glanced up at the girl she had managed to barrel into. A sheepish grin graced her lips as she climbed back to her feet. "Oh no, pretty sure that was all me. I was not paying any attention to anything but my phone. Such a teenager." She laughed lightly at her own stupid joke, collecting her phone from the ground and straightening out her shirt and jacket.

"My name's Makyah! It's nice to meet you, Ava!" She offered her a wave before noticing Ava's extended hand. She shook it feeling a tad awkward and then focused on checking her phone for any scratches. Sebastian's message was still staring up at her from her screen and she forced herself to hold back a growl.

Once her inspection was complete and she was satisfied she returned her attention to Ava with a smile. "Sorry, this has been a rather rude first impression by me. I haven't seen you around before, are you new?"

Ava listened to the girl speak. She did not find it rude at all. Even if she had then at the very least she still would have split the situation half. She nervously put her hands together as the girl asked if she was new. Oh and her name Makyah.

Ava
"I am new Makyah but I hope to leave a lasting impression. I can't say that I will but here I am you know?"

It was not like she could turn back now even if she wanted to.

Ava
"I figure this was as good of a place to start as any. I know it sounds cliche' but we all have to start somewhere regardless of if we want to admit it to ourselves or not."

She did not mind the feeling of starting over. For one reason or another it was fresh and nice to her.

Mak was all too familiar with the feeling of having to start somewhere. Her first few months at Masquerade had been hard last year, even with Sebastian attending she felt alone and invisible. She didn't have a group of friends to give her the usual strength and confidence she was used to.

She smiled at Ava, her thoughts returning to the current conversation. "I know what you mean, Ava. Everyone has to start somewhere, especially when they're in a strange place." She stuffed her phone in the pocket of her jeans. Sebbers would either grab her purse or wouldn't, she'd be able to return to the apartment later to collect it anyways.

Mak's attention turned back to Ava, "want to walk with me to the front office? I need to sign up for a dorm, before all that's left is... Lily. Trust me you don't want to room with her." She pointed towards the front doors of the school. They were tall oak double doors, with slits of glass from top to bottom.

"Have you signed up for one yet?"
