Rebound lay on his bed in his room, staring up at the ceiling, his arms behind his head. The look on his face was a frown, but then he almost always had a frown or some other unpleasant look on his face. No one had ever seen him smile. The best they could hope for was an expressionless face if he wasn't interested in them. That was quite often the case. He was interested in very few people here. In fact, he couldn't think of any at all... except one perhaps. But she was a special case. He sighed and sat up in his bed, smoothing his hair back behind his ears. There was already a lot of activity in the building. He'd heard that several new students would be arriving today, and one had apparently been rescued from... [i]Them[/i]. His teeth gritted at the thought. He couldn't help but feel a sort of pity for the poor girl, but then again, who was she to him? It wasn't like there was any shortage of students here who'd had an encounter of some sort or another with..[i]Them[/i].

He stood up, his thoughts turning down darker memories as he opened his door and stepped into the hallway, making his way down it. Memories of pain, darkness, then bright lights, needles, and worst of all, the images that [i]They[/i] had caused him to see by use of drugs. He shivered at the memories, then shook his head roughly, his hair shaking around as he tried to shake the memories out of his mind. However, at that moment he walked straight into another student who was coming from another direction. With anyone else, they would have both fallen over, but because of his ability, he didn't even flinch as the girl's kinetic energy transferred completely into him. He pushed the hair out of his face and glared down at her, growling, "Hey! Watch where you're..." But then he stopped as he realized who he'd bumped into. The one person at this school who held any interest for him. "Oh, it's you Mia."
