[u]Aileen O'Reilly[/u]

Aileen’s short burst of light caused more chaos than she had intended. Some large creature fell on the floor, screamed and burst out of the cafeteria. If she’d been anywhere else than in school it probably would have frightened her some, but here she’d gotten used to reacting with a deadpan reaction to everything lest people make fun of her for jumping at nothing. 

Yuyu laughed at all the chaos, until he was hit by some unknown substance. He yelped in his whistling way, jumped off of Aileen’s shoulders and gestured for her to clean it up. She was about to use her hands when she noticed the awful smell of it. “No, go get some paper or something.”

He climbed off of the table, just as another scream could be heard. Aileen wondered why these people had to scream at every turn of events. Yuyu could be heard bumping against a few chairs and tables on his journey to find some paper to clean himself with. 

She put her feet up on the table, and leaned back in her chair with her hands behind her head. Aileen felt pleased with herself. If she could cause situations like these just by entering a room she’d never have to think up a new prank to pull on people. It might get boring if it was that easy though.

It was more than a little surprising to her when one of them in the room claimed to be a teacher after giving her a very sarcastic response. Not the good kind of teacher then, she had to assume. What was a teacher doing here anyway? She thought they’d at least make it seem like they were trying to help solve the problem. Maybe they were keeping an eye on the students, but that wasn’t going very well either if her entrance was any hint to how things had been in here.

Some kid said they didn’t know yet either because of messenger pigeons. She had no idea what that had to do with anything. The same kid thanked her for some reason that Aileen must have missed. There was chatter and laughter, but she couldn’t hear what they said. The situation made her feel kind of like a fool.

“Sure, any time.” She responded, thinking it was the chaos she’d caused that was the reason she thanked her.

Yuyu returned, acting a bit odd, but carrying as much paper as he could. It was a considerable amount, making him look a little like a mummy. However, there wasn’t much to clean now. Aileen wiped off the little that was left, as the rest had been absorbed by his body. She hoped it wasn’t fatal to him. “Ugh, you’re gonna need a bath…”

“Why are you all in here if you haven’t heard anything?” Aileen asked, after finishing wiping Yuyu and removing all the paper. He sat on the table, whistling while swaying his head back and forth. She wasn’t sure if she should expect any real answer from this crowd regarding that either, so she asked a question they may actually be able to answer. “Does anyone here know my new roomie? I think she was named Kade, or something like that.”
