Nora threw herself down onto the couch with a heavy sigh. She didn't much care whose roommate she ended up being - goodness knows, despite the introductions, the information...

Nora rubbed her raw fingertips, slightly bloodied from where they had ground against the rough wall. Somehow, aside from some bruises, her only real wounds. Her mouth twisted. She felt...

Run, run, run. Always being told, never asked.
Nora knew that getting riled up about something this small, this inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, was pointless...

Abruptly, Nora found herself on the ground as the creature's movement sent shockwaves through it. Arms whole once more and braced against the pavement, her heart raged against...

Nora's tongue clung to the roof of her mouth like someone had mounted velcro to it. She was disoriented, somewhat dizzy. Strangely, she was also freezing cold.
And towering...
Aaliyah sat on the grass outside the building, back against a sum-warmed wall. She couldn't bring herself to go inside just yet. To face the swell of bodies, the crush of noise. No, outside would suit her just fine until going in became a strict necessity.
Besides, this was the good part.

Elettra strode up to the school trying to project confidence that she, in truth, did not feel. Nervousness hummed through her veins, helped along by the fact that she had gotten well and thoroughly lost on the way here. After spending far too long wandering unfamiliar streets, she was glad to...

Liv offered a small, sarcastic smile. "I need coffee for damn near everything," she said, "but this especially." She gestured around them. "Please tell me you find this as weird as I do. Government-ordered love."...

"Pleasure to meet you then, Chef Noah! I'm Nea," Nea said, recovering herself. She stuck out a hand to greet the chef, and began to say to the newer arrival. "Don't worry, I don't think anyone is getting fi-"
Nea barely had time to process her...

Nea burst through the Staff Only door in a frenzy, half-jogging into the room before seeing the man sitting on the chair. She let out a small squeak before saying in one breath, "IamsosorryIshould'vebeenhereearlier!" She flushed, took a deep breath, and continued. "I'm new to...
Nea bounced on the heels of her feet, taking one last chance to make sure her appearance was in order before the start of her first shift. She ran a hand through her hair, silently cursing it for refusing to stay in the bun she had attempted to pull it into. She sighed, shook it loose, and hoped...
