Matthew woke up to his phone buzzing on the nightstand. Groaning quietly he brushes his hands around the nightstand til he comes in contact with it. Looking at his phone it shows 7:30. "Wait...", He blink a few times and rubs his face. "Why seven thirty?" After a few moments of pause his eyes open wide. School. "That's today!" Rolling out of bed onto the floor he scrambled to his feet. He had to be in his office in thirty minutes to welcome new students and whatever else the headmaster was wanting him to do. Which seemed excessive honestly. The first day of school was tomorrow after all, why not wait til then? Shaking his head he went into his rather small bathroom and quickly undressed before hopping into a cold shower. After several expletives about how cold the water was and some quick scrubbing he jumped out and dried off. Heading into his bedroom he quickly dressed in one of his nice pairs of jeans and a gray long sleeved shirt before grabbing his old jacket. Look at his phone it says 7:50. "Ten minutes. Just enough time." Heading for the door he spots his pack of cigarettes on the shelf by the door. Standing there for a second he grabs them. "Just in case." Heading out the door while stuffing the cigarettes in his jacket pocket he quickly heads to the teachers lounge. " I need to get a coffee maker in my room so I don't have to go down two flights of stairs with out coffee." He mumbles while quickly shuffling down the steps. After a short jog across the school grounds he makes it to the academy proper. heading in the back he makes it to the teachers lounge only to find he is the only one here. "Huh, guess everybody else is out doing the meet and greet." Looking at the clock it says 7:56 now. "Just enough time for coffee. yay." He says with little joy. Setting up the coffee maker he waits as it starts making. While it is in progress he thinks over the last couple weeks. It was crazy to think he went from working as a cook at a chinese buffet to being a counselor at an academy. He had hardly believed it when the headmaster had asked him to come work here, but all he had said was 'I have a feeling your just the man we need.' Bit creepy, but from what he had seen before Precogs always were a bit odd. Still at least it was just counselling. He was a good listener not to mention he had helped other psychics he had met to learn to control there powers better. Just as he was mulling over the past the coffee maker dinged letting him know the coffee was done. grabbing a cup and some sugar he pour himself some coffee and took a drink. "Now I can counsel people." He said somewhat jokingly to himself as he continued to drink. --- Aiden made good time up the hill among all the other students. "Excuse me, sorry." He said quickly passing people on his way up. He couldn't understand why they were so slow and dis-interested. They were about to start learning about there Gifts and how to better control them. For Aiden this was the best day he had had in a long time. After living with his father in the middle of nowhere hiding from pretty much anything and everything moving to an actually town like New Fort and starting a real school was a god send. He knew why his father was worried about him after his mothers death, but hiding wouldn't help. This place would. not to mention the girls here were really cute. Shaking his head he tried to focus, but hey he was still young. he could live a little right? Seconds after he finished those thoughts he made it to the Academy doors and pushed them open. Stepping inside he saw several more students mulling around. Looking around he spotted a red head near by. [i]Cute.[/i] He thought to himself before remembering he wasn't here to sight see. Though he wished he was. Looking around some more he spotted someone wearing a staff t-shirt handing out flyers about as un-energetically as possible. "That guy probably knows something." He said more to himself than anyone around him. Re adjusting his bag he headed over.
