tomorrowrainIt wasn't often that Raine showed his face openly in the common area. At least, not in the middle of the day. Especially not on a Saturday afternoon, when nobody was likely to be in classes, and the room was more than likely to have quite a few people in it.
But the fact was, he was hungry. And even if he didn't see anything resembling a warm welcome in the common area in his near future, being able to pinpoint when he'd have an opportunity to eat again in the future didn't change the fact that he was hungry now.
Maybe if he just... kind of kept his head down, he could slip in, grab some cereal or something, and slip out again before anyone started whispering too loudly.
The trick, he was learning all too quickly, was to just avoid eye contact and to not listen too closely to the people around him.

ground_meAllison tapped her laminated class schedule against her cheek as she made her way down a hall she hadn't been before. Huge windows showcased an equally huge field and if she stopped and squinted through the sunny glare, she could spot areas that looked a little charred.
Well, there was a reason this area of the school wasn't for those who had no reason to be here. Allison hadn't yet decided what she thought of the fact that she was here, though anything had to be better than setting things on fire when she got upset.
She grimaced a bit while she counted doors. There were worse things than the fires, really, but they were more noticeable to others. Allison supposed that was a good thing. She stopped outside the fifteenth door and double checked her schedule to make sure it was the right one.
It was. She was stalling. That's dangerous, she scolded herself, and then tucked her schedule into her backpack. Then, before she could think better of it, she rapidly knocked on the door (to give her tutor the heads up she was here, in case they weren't one of the ones that could just tell that) and opened it.
"Morning!" she said, poking her head in.
It was one in the afternoon.
