I don't want to Believe// open

[True Viars]

True dropped her dark green messenger on the ground at her feet. It made a dull thud and the five very large text books hit one another or the ground. She found herself next to the White Lake under a Weeping Willow. She rubbed her sore shoulder that had carried her bag moments ago. Life would be so much easier if I could teleport myself within close distances. I could just teleport to my room and back here in no time, instead I have to walk like all the rest of the non-teleporter students here. Just great.

True continued her pity party for a few more seconds, sitting on the white sand, her left foot playing in the water. When she had enough, True pulled out her orange iPod Nano from the pocket of her bag. She pushed in the ear buds, and powered up the small device. Instantly, the sounds of the lake were drowned out by The Sophomore Attempt and the song Elisabeth. While she lost herself in the music and the thoughts that came with it, she held a part of her conscience to the world and her spot in time so she wouldn't find herself teleported to wherever. Of course, this piece of conscience isn't very big, so she didn't comprehend her surrounds or if someone were approaching her.

I wanted something more
I don't deserve what I have
Because it all goes wrong

Ashlyn loved the power she had, but sometimes she wished that she knew howto control it properly. Waking up she got herself ready and went to sit on her bed. She saw a book that she wanted on a shelf just out of her reach, she tried to concertrate as much as she could on the book, but because she had more power than conrtol the whole shelf came flying towards her, her quickly moved out of the way and was now led on the floor. She moved on to the stomach and looked at the mess that she had made "oh crap" she thought to herself, she then went to clearing it up.

It was then that she decided to go the the White Lake, she had never been here before so she had no idea what to expect, she had one seen pictures of it and to be honest they hadn't done the beautiful view any justice, she smiled and soon as she saw it and she couldn't get the smile of her face, she stared at the amazingly deep saphire water.

She then decided to walk further down to where the water met the sand, she then took off her shoes and walked across. She then came across a Weeping Willow with a girl sat on her own under it, she shrugged and decided to go over, she then stood infront of her and smiled. She then said "hi", she then waited until she answered her back.

[True Viars]

True jumped at the sound of the girl's voice that over
powered the music streaming through her ears. She pulled
out her ear buds and turned off her iPod. "Hey," she
brushed her dark bown hair away from her face to get a
better look at the girl standing before her. The girl looked
to be around True's age, maybe a year older.

True probably wasn't doing a very good job of hiding her
surprise to being approached like this. Most people just
ignored the sophomore. True's mind began to swim with
thoughts and it took all her focus to quiet these down.
She probably thinks I'm some freak because
I've been sitting here like a fool.

True returned the delayed smile that was interrupted by a
gust of wind that blew her hair into her face and mouth.
"Great, just great." she mumbled. True pulled off the black
hair band around her wrist and twisted her wavy hair into
a bun at the nape of her neck. "I'm True Viars, sorry,
probably should have said that earlier and I'm a teleporter."
True let out a nervous giggle, she wasn't all that comfortable around people.

Ash took a minute to look around once again at her surroundings, it really was amazing, there wasn't many places that looked like this so Ashlyn counted herself lucky that she could be hear to witness it. She then turned her attenetion back to the girl who had said something to her, se then looked at the girl again, she hadn't seen her in any of her classes so she figured that she was in the year below.

Ash then laughed a bit when a gust of wind had come past them, she then looked back to the girl who's hair had got caught in her mouth. Ash then listened to what she said and said "it's nice to meet you True" she then sat down opposite her.

She crossed her legs and said "I'm Ashlyn Crawford, call me Ash and I'm a telekinetic", Ash was happy that she was a telekinetic some times, it was a good power to have if you were an extremely lazy person but it did come with it's difficulties. Like of you didn't have much control then anything could happen, she then turned back to True and said "so what are you doing out here on your own".

[True Viars]

The Weeping Willow's branches swayed with the small
gusts that flew through the campus. True's attention
momentarily was drawn to the sounds coming from the
lake. The aqua water brushing against the sand, a frog
hiding somewhere along the bank, and the bugs hidden
among the grass out-skirting the beach. This was True's
favorite place to go when things were getting hectic. "Hi,
Ash," True smiled again watching the girl sit down opposite
her, which True appreciated, since looking up at Ash was
giving her a crick in her neck.

She's lucky, she probably doesn't have
many restrictions on what she can do, unlike me.
True thought bitterly. She still was upset about
not being able to teleport within fifty feet of herself. No
matter what she tried, it just wouldn't work.
Stupid faulty genes.

"Oh, I come here to unwind, there's enough distractions
here to keep me occupied and not have to worry about
teleporting to India or Florida or whatever place I happen to
be thinking of. And it's far enough away from my dorm
that I can teleport myself to ten feet away and walk. Stupid
faulty genes don't allow me to be lazy and teleport myself
within fifty feet or so around me." True realized she was
babbling and quickly shut up.

Ash couldn't help but smile when True started rambling on about why she was sat here. If she was honest teleporting was one of the better powers out there, she then sat there and began to think. She could imagine herself with that power, visiting and exploring all the different places in the world, it would be amazing.

She then turned back to True and said "I'm sure with practice you'll get the hang of it, atleast that's what I've been telling myself", no matter how much time and effort Ash out into trying to control her powr it never seemed to work.

If she was trying to focus on a specific target then everything around the target wouldgo flying off everywhere, there was only once that Ash had actually hurt somebody with her power and she really didn't want to do it again. She then turned her attention back to True and said "so do you like your power".

[True Viars]

True let out a chuckle."Ha yeah, practice helps everything. I guess I'm just backwards." Really Backwards. " I'm just the opposite of the rest of the teleporters. They work out and I have to work in. That sounds so odd."

True hears her ask if she liked her power. She though back to all the places she's been and all the amazing people she's met. If she was "normal", she would have never experienced even just half of what she has.

"Yeah, I do enjoy the freedom that comes from teleporting, well outside of school, kinda frowned upon to teleport too far away outside of classes. But I've seen a lot of places most people only dream about, and I've got plenty of friends around the world. There aren't amny drawbacks, except in the school, we can't go too far, and it can be disorienting if you don't teleport correctly. But outside that, it's pure freedom," she added as an afterthought,"Even if I can't be lazy."

"So, what's telekinesis like?"

Ashlyn listened to True talk, a teleporter seemed lie an amazing power to have, just the fact that you could go anywhere you wanted when you wanted. It fascinated Ash. Then True asked what Telekinesis was like, Ash smiled, there wasn't one way that you could describe what it was like. To understand what it was you had to have it but she decided to explain it anyway.

"Well, it's a freakin amazing power to have", Ash said feeling like a bit of a dork saying it she then shrugged and said "It's kind of hard to master it at first I suppose, I mean cause I have more power than control so sometimes when I try to concertrate on an object the things around the object come flying towards me", Ash then paused and smiled thinking of what had happened just a bit earlier, "I came out here because I accidentally totalled my room, mess everywhere, so it takes a bit of time to master".

She then realized that she was rambling on so she smiled and said "sorry, I kinda go on alot, so your a sophmore right?", she then leaned back on her hands.

[True Viars]

True listened to Ash's decription of telekinesis. Her's matched well with the what True's telekinetic friends explained as. She laughed when she heard that Ash had totalled her room. True figured it must be hard to have more power than control, so anything could happen when trying to move one thing. The whole power versus control thing didn't apply to True becuase when a teleporter has more power, they can teleport to farther away places. Well she could already go to the otherside of the world. Maybe with more power, she could teleport to Mars or something. That would be a sight. Pluto would be cool to see too, but way too cold. True didn't want to be stranded on Pluto for the rest of her life, which probably would come to a pretty quick end on the downsized planet.

Ash's question brought True out of her thoughts about Pluto and dieing on it. "Oh, yeah, I'm a sophomore."
