Kanni turned around and stifled a groan, tears brimming her eyes but she had long since learned to hold them back. Remus was her fault. It was her fault that Alice felt so scared all the time...She turned back around the corridor and headed into the food court, rejoining Premidas and wiping away all signs of sadness. "And? Where'd they go?" the animagus asked, slupring loudly through his straw.
"Oh, just some private talking, that's all. They'll be back in a while," Kanni lied. Remus. How she hated him. He deserved much worse than to die! Much, much worse... Just think about it. She had brought him in here, and she had him living within her--a part of her-- for all her life up until last year. And now, as a result, Alice has two powers along the side. Maybe during the power clash within Alice's body some of Kanni's power mixed in with and stayed behind in the Verae. It was a possibility that that was the reason for her telekenisis, but Kanni wasn't sure. Hell, she wasn't sure about anything.
"So...now tell me, what happened besides the lizard chasing your mother up the tree?" Premidas pushed back in his chair, rocking slightly back and forth.
"Well," Kanni counted off on her fingers, "I somehow broke all windows in the house, fell from the top story to the first story, teleported to the mall in the middle of the night, and almost got arrested cause they thought I was a robber." Kanni lightly forced a laugh.
"How'd you get out of it?"
Kanni's grin dropped. "I-I don't know exactly. It was like one minute I was there, getting hand cuffed, the next I felt gone. They couldn't see or hear me...no one could, and I walked right through the walls. But I was getting frantic cause everyone acted as if I wasn't there, until a biker drinking water rammed into me and spilled the water all over me. Then it seemed as if the water was encasing me and when I blinked I was back in my bed. Seriously, it was like a really bad and vivid dream."
"Weird," Premidas agreed. "But hey, what can anyone expect with you? You're something special."
Kanni locked her eyes on Premidas, feeling warm. He really thought so, didn't he? He wasn't lying. "Thanks. I like hearing that. I wish more people thought so."
Premidas lightly raised his cup, "Cheers to a new year." Kanni smiled and raised her soda, taking a sip and then setting it back down, her eyes trailing towards the food court doors. Alice and Kaleb weren't back yet. And she didn't really expect them to be for some time. She caught Premidas eyeing her and quickly schooled her worried expression into a neutral look. "So, what's the schedule? Class tomorrow?"
"Yea. Free today, thirty minutes of each class tomorrow, and then on Wednesday it all really starts. You got your schedual in your acceptance letter, right?"
"Yea."
"Well, all house students have the same classes so we'll all be together again. Ain't that good?"
"Yeah...right." Kanni said, trying to hide the sarcasm in her voice.
"Aw, we're not that bad, are we?"
"Just hold your tongue this time and I won't have to un-paralize you when Themrus pulls his clock trick again." Kanni reminded him and the animagus stuck out his tongue.
"Themrus, that 'ol man! He ain't got no humor-"
"-either that, or too much humor than you can handle." Kanni finished and Premidas scowled, crossing his arms.
Kanni's eyes once again strayed to the court entrance. She couldn't help herself. She wanted to know if Alice was okay. She wanted to know what was wrong...But maybe Alice didn't trust her like Kaleb. And that was her choice then. But then came the thing about Alice leaving...Was she really going to? Just like that? Get up and leave, after only being here a week, and then take off as if this all meant nothing? But as Gabriel would have to learn one way or another, no matter where he shipped Alice, the scars from what happened would never leave her, or any of them. It didn't work that way. No, not in this kind of circumstance.
"Kanni, what the hell is wrong?" Premidas demanded and Kanni spun aroudn to face him again.
"Oh, uh, nothing."
Premidas raised a testing brow. "Is that your final answer?"
"Yup. I'm just a little nervous about all the new students. Wanna go take a walk in the courtyard? I'll go get my jacket real quick."
Premidas still didn't look convinced but knew he was pushing it, and that Kanni wouldn't allow herself to be justled into telling easily, if at all. He finally shrugged and tossed his drink and wrappers into the trash can behind him. "Sure. Why not? I think I need some fresh air anyways, and maybe a little freeze with a cold just before school starts."
Kanni looked surprised and she bit her lip, trying to decide whether he was joking or if that sudden mood swing caught him again.
"I'm just kidding," he assured her with a sly grin. "Sheesh! Don't always look so sincere all the time!"
"Yea. Right. Now I'm sure you're mental," Kanni growled and got up. "I'll go get my coat and meet you at the doors, okay? And tonight I'll have to get Rothen. I know he knows I'm here, no use lying to him. See ya in a few." Kanni pushed from the seat and began battling her way towards the lobby. "Yea. See ya in a few," Premidas said quietly to himself, a sorrowed and pained look in his eyes as he lowered them to the floor. "In a few..."
