One the first floor, Brooks was still shut off and taped up from the incident from a few days back. Whatever compelled Delilah to come back was way beyond her, that is of course, if it was from that. Delilah dug her face into her hands, feeling the heat rise up from them. Today was more like a breather for her, to get her thoughts together on the events that had happened. Luckily she had kept it all a secrete from her parents, her brother, Ben, on the other hand, saw her on the news and was concerned and promised to keep their parents away from the new the past few days. But this was her wandering around time, time for herself, and yes just for her. That’s all that she needed, even for an outgoing girl like herself, popular people needed their time alone. But that would be until she would run into a younger student, one she wouldn’t be too familiar with but could be a potential friend. Of course, the question begs is this new friend a fellow mutant or just a regular human? The question may never get out since Delilah swore to never tell anyone of her powers; it had never slipped out yet, or at least not to her knowledge, if it did it was because she was in the moment and she did have a spontaneous personality, itching to do anything. The mall was back normal; people came and walked around or shopped, enjoying their day.[/style][style=background-color: #615655; width: 355px; border-left: 5px solid #615655; border-right: 5px solid #615655; color: #a8a8a8; text-align: justify; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 10px; border-top: 1px dashed #ffa858; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;] words;; 266 tags;; You and me :3 notes;; Bad opening sorry >.o credits;; ZETTA! of OTE[/style]

Jeez, he barely walks into the mall and his old "pals" were already working him over. "I don't have your money dude." 99% of his encounters before now he always managed to have some money in anticipation of this happening, but his job cut their already low pay and he was using his savings in order to get his new stuff. His reply was only met with a punch to the face. "You better have my money you little shit! Or do you want to end up like your mom?" They rest of the little posse stopped laughing at that.

The cowering and general fearful disposition had stopped emanating from Rain as he looked at the other boy with a blank expression, his eyes shining a curious yellow color and his whole body seeming to change before he quietly spoke. "Don't mention that ever again....i don't know if i want to try and hold this back if you keep pesterrring me..." Even his voice seemed different, which perturbed the little group who quickly sprinted away as he sat at the mall bench, looking at his lap.

I...i did it again. I'm glad i managed to stop him today... was all he could think before he saw a familiar face walking into the mall, familiar in the way you see certain people all the time, he knew she was quite well known for her bright and generally cheery personality, something he felt frankly envious of. He merely sat there and looked at her for a second before going back to staring blankly.

Note: Ehhh she might've picked up his strange double-mindedness and generally crappy outlook lol.

But she didn’t notice it at first, it took some time but the intent was there in the air, like a whiff of faint perfume in the air. Delilah stopped, she didn’t like this, first it seemed pity but then there it was, it was true anger but it was being held back, faint ideas like this scared her. She stopped and looked around the crowded area, her eyes then locked onto the scene, a boy was bloodied up and the people running. Something was going on; Delilah just couldn’t put her finger on it. But it became clearer once she could see who the boy way. A freshman, one who was always quiet, she had always caught a glimpse of him but never made any moves to introduce herself, which she now felt stupid for not doing. And there it was, eye contact, Delilah never felt embarrassed for making it, but in this situation she was. For not sticking up for the small person when she was suppose to. But now was her chance to take someone under her wing. Delilah slowly walked up to the boy, her flip flops making their popping noise her she skirt swayed slightly. A sympathetic smile was on her face as she sat down, fixing her skirt so it wouldn’t ride up. “Hello.” She said, her thoughts kind of slammed there. Well, poo, what was she going to do know. “Are you ok?” Delilah pointed to the blood, “I think we should go to the restrooms and clean you up.” She sighed, aware yet very unaware of his situation.

He could scarcely believe what was happening; the girl he just glanced at looked him straight in the eyes for a brief second before walking over towards him. Uhoh. I'm not sure what to do.. But all she did was sit next to him and greet him with a polite "Hello." "Hi....." was all he could nervously stammer out before she started asking questions. "Uhh, i'm fine." he was used to the blood and the pain sadly, and after many encounters he didn't even realize it anymore. "I-i-i can do it..." quietly escaped from his lips as he got up slowly and walked toward the bathroom, making sure not to bump into anyone before pulling out a somewhat old and torn handkerchief.

Wiping away the blood and flinching abit at the pain he was feeling very nervous being around a girl, especially one that felt...different to him somehow, he didn't know what it was but it was there. "Thanks for t-the concern." he wiped away the last bits of blood from his face and gingerly touched his slightly swollen lips, a flash of annoyance flashed across his face. "Sheesh i almost did it ag-errrr nothing." He can't believe he almost let it slip out, he didn't want to end some specimen on a table! "You go t-t-to the high school as well?" he needed to say something.

When Rainus got she did to, following slight, he seemed to be making sure he wouldn’t touch anyone unlike her who bumped slightly into people apologizing. They then stopped and he pulled out a worn out handkerchief, her brows knitted together in concern, she had never seen anyone who was underprivileged, she guessed that would be the right word. She smiled small at his thanks, her hands were about to touch his arm but she stringed her fingers together and put them back down. Then something crossed his face and he mumbled something before issuing quick apology, her eyes flickered around the place nervously and then landed back on him; there was something different and she couldn’t put her finger on it, maybe he was just like her in some way. She then smiled big and nodded at his question; Delilah was one of the many popular people at school, but unlike most others she was nicer, she believed everyone should be treated the same instead of differently. Which is why she was in so many activities, showing that anyone can do anything if they would put their mind to it. “Yep.” Delilah rubbed the back of her head. “I’m a part of the student council, so if you have any problems, you can come to me.” She gave him thumbs up. Of course, seeing how he is, Rainus seemed too shy to come out and say something. “I’m Delilah Hawthorne.” She introduced herself, even though she probably suspected that he knew who she was. “You are you?” Delilah once more tilted her head to the side in curiosity.

[Rainus Zuo]

He was even more surprised inside now, a student council member who didn't give off a "stuck-up" kind of feeling. He weakly smiled at her thumbs up, having someone who wasn't mean or as depressingly serious as him around was quite a change for once. "R-Rainus Zuo." he said his name abit too quietly for his tastes and felt the awkwardness of the moment already starting to return. "I'm a freshman at t-the school." He shakily put his hand out and shook Delilah's hand, an action that took alot of willpower and self control with not freaking out about human contact. Once again he found a brighter disposition relatively refreshing, and decided that he should make sure he doesn't say anything that made him look more of a scaredy cat than he already was.

Walking out of the restroom he went into the....cheaper clothing store and picked a few t-shirts and the like out before paying up, turning around and almost bumping into the guy behind him. "Uhhh..errrr sorry." He was hoping the guy wouldn't go off and try something, luckily he encountered an actual human being who merely nodded as Rain walked back outside with his bag. "Ow!" A sharp pain rang through his head, a regular occurrence when he managed to hold back the "other guy" successfully, as a type of punishment he got a sharp pain to the brain.

He seemed like such a quiet person and could get lost if he could. His hand shook as he brought it out, but he engulfed her but he seemed like there was some hidden strength beneath his panic. “I’ll make sure to keep an eye for you when the school year starts.” She smiled up at him. Delilah would have to keep an eye out for him; more like in the future. From there she watched him enter into the restrooms, she herself turned away to leave. He was interesting, there was something about him that wasn’t right either, people of lower principles always were different, not in a bad way but in a way that scared others or made them a fascination. She almost ran into him, Delilah noticed he had left a clothing store that was cheaper than what most other stores had to offer. From there Rainus had left the mall, she didn’t understand him but with the upcoming year, Delilah would make sure to have him under her wing, or maybe with what Rainus would think would be her protection. She then stepped outside, feeling the warm air settle down on her skin. Another week of summer down the drain and only a few to go.
