Kenzi was the type of girl that's always on the move. Mostly because her busy hands couldn't help but pick something up and take off with it. Today is just such a day. Her haul so far was a few pens that caught her interest, someone's cellphone (although she wasn't entirely sure why she even took that one, she'd have to return it later), a few bucks and some spare change. Not the best but what could you do in a school?

She made her way for the kitchen, snagging an apple with her telekinesis on her way through. Although she was much more focused on eating it than where she was going.

Gotta say this school is pretty awesome. Y'know as awesome as a school gets. Which, in reality, isn't all that awesome.

Although some of you peeps are pretty schway. I've honestly never been in a place with so many other mutants. Kinda nice not having to worry about using my powers.

Anywaaaaay, I'm Kenzi and I am so not goth despite my penchant for dark clothing.

[green_eyed]

You may not be goth, but you sure sound like an idiot. Why did you feel the need to say that? It's pointless. No one cares.

[wisecracked]

Who pissed in your Honey-Os?

And I said it because I get tired of hearing it. Simple as that.

[green_eyed]

Oh sure. And it totally wasn't to draw attention to yourself like all the other whores on this network.

[wisecracked]

Excuse me? Whore?

Wow, we're already up to whore. Completely bipassed bitch and went straight to whore.

Listen here, honey. I'm not a whore. I was just nipping the goth taunts in the bud while I had the chance.

[green_eyed]

This is a school for freaks. No one cares if you're goth or not. You were just doing it for attention.

[wisecracked]

Yeah uh, teenagers don't change from a normal school to a school like this. Freaks or not people still look and go "goth".

[green_eyed]

They change enough. Like most of them are still attention seeking whores.

[wisecracked]

[There's a frustrated sound from her side.] What the hell is wrong with you? Do you have some wild hair up your ass? Can't someone just say something to set the record straight without being called names? You don't even know me.

Ayaka was enjoying a large piece of cake, courtesy of the kitchen's chef.

But she had other places to be and she was rather focused on eating, too. From an outsider's perspective, the inevitable collision (and the cake suddenly becoming smeared all over Ayaka's face as a result) looked to be more Ayaka's fault than Kenzi's.

"Y-you...!" Ayaka stammered angrily, "How dare you!"

Clearly, she blamed everything on Kenzi.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi stumbled back a few steps in result of the collision and nearly dropped her apple. Nearly because she managed to save it just before it hit the floor.

"How is this my fault?" She brought it back up to her mouth and took a bite out of it as she eyed the other girl. "Pretty sure it isn't." said with a mouthful of apple.

Maybe it was, in either case she really did care.

[black_lily]

Ayaka had no logic to back up her case, but she didn't really care.

"Because... because of this!" Ayaka said, wiping some cake off her face for emphasis.

... for a second, it looked like she was going to eat the cake off her hand, but she just shook it off instead.

"And nothing happened to your food..." she noticed, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?!"

It made sense to her, anyway. Then again, she was clearly not thinking logically.

[wisecracked]

For the most part, any cake sent in Kenzi's direction were stopped in midair before falling to the floor. However she couldn't catch it all and some of it splattered against her face and on her shirt.

Yup, not good.

She let out a baffled and irritated noise as she stared down at the cake on her shirt. "This! This is my favourite shirt!" She tossed her apple aside and proceeded to roll up her sleeves. "If you're going to blame me for something that isn't my fault I'm going to do something that you can blame me for."

What that something was she wasn't sure. Yet.

[black_lily]

Ayaka knew a threat of violence when she saw one. Unfortunately for Kenzi, Ayaka was more than happy to engage in a fight with her at that moment.

"Well, this was one of my favorite shirts!" Ayaka snapped back, "Which, undoubtedly, was more expensive than yours and better made!"

There was no shirt sleeve rolling on her end, no...

... instead, Ayaka assumed what was clearly a practiced martial arts stance.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi rose a brow at the girl's stance. She wasn't going to fight she was just going to add more food to the other girl's face but well if she wanted a fight.

She smirked and lifted up a couple inches into the air. "Well, if it's a fight you want, you'll have to catch me first." With that she quickly floated back and around the counter, heading for the door to go outside.

[black_lily]

Well, even if her theory based on arm-sleeve rolling had obviously been proven wrong, Ayaka still wanted some sort of compensation for the perceived slight against her.

"Coward!"

Ayaka started forward rather quickly, obviously intending to pursue. She was surprisingly fast, though not quite superhumanly so.

She still had her plate in hand, and she intended to use it as a projectile once she got a clear shot.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi's eyes widened at the girl's speed. Sure she was faster once off her feet but only barely so in such an enclosed area.

"No such thing as a coward! Just people smart enough to run away." She laughed as she slipped through the door. Once outside she remained close to the ground, she was actually pretty curious to see what the girl was going to do.

And hey, could she really get in trouble if she didn't dish out the first blow?

Walking? Walking was for chumps -- especially for chumps that had just accidentally set their roommate's finished homework on fire (Margot would swear up and down that she thought it was just scrap paper with chicken scratch writing on it.)

At the moment, the kid was trying to put as much distance between herself and the charred remains, vaulting around a corner, into the kitchen and... straight into Kenzi.

"Sorry, sorry! Didn't see you!" She said hurriedly, raising hands in a surrender motion. "And if anyone asks, you didn't see me either."

[wisecracked]

Kenzi was bulled over and didn't even have time to catch herself. She did manage to save her apple but that was it. For a few moment she laid on the kitchen floor in a daze before slowly sitting up.

"Holy crapballs, where's the fire?" She raised a hand to rub the back of her head. Good thing she was so hardheaded or that would have hurt more.

[lastplaceigo]

Kenzi just had to say the 'f' word, didn't she?

Margot looked alarmed. "Fire? Fire?! Ahaha, there is no fire! None at all, ahahah..." Not that there wasn't plenty of other kids with pyrokinesis in the school to pin the deed on, but damn she was not getting in trouble for that crap.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi telekinetically righted herself then proceeded to dust herself off.

The other girl's reaction gets of a raised eyebrow. "Uh huh." A slow grin spreads across her lips. "I'm going to wild stab in the dark here and assume you, accidentally or otherwise, set fire to something you shouldn't have."

[lastplaceigo]

"...I did not, you can't prove anything!" She crosses her arms over her chest, trying to look as defiant as she can. It probably doesn't help that through that there is a definite guilty look and, after a moment, she concedes.

"It was just a little fire. One some papers. Maybe inside."

[wisecracked]

Kenzi leaned in and sniffed Margot before leaning back, her grin widened. "Well I do smell smoked. And even if I didn't you're reaction is good enough. You should work on your poker face kid." And then there was the actual confession.

"In any case, why are you running if it was just some papers?"

[lastplaceigo]

At the question, Margot throws her hands in the air and wails, "Because it was my roommate's homework and she's gonna kill me! Do you know how long it took her to do that book report?! Days!"

Not that running would really do any good, but it seemed like a better idea than jumping out the window at the time.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi opened her mouth before slowly closing it again. For a few moments she was silent, chewing on her bottom lip. "Yeah, that could be a problem. When's the report due?"

Maybe her roommate had time to redo it. How hard could it be to rewrite the report? She wrote it once so it shouldn't be difficult. Also, who doesn't do their reports on the computer these days?
