Alex had burst out the door no more than a minute after Amarie and took off left to the southbound entrance of the hall. He was not moving at full speed because he didn't want to slam into anyone. He made it all the way to the glass double doors when he came to a stop, clearly she hadn't come this way.

[color=fff79a]"Hey, Hatchet-packer. Yeu think that's yeur girl?"[/color]

The door to the bathroom squeaked and Alex turned to see a whole lot of [url=http://orig09.deviantart.net/ee58/f/2007/161/c/b/lizard_or_toad__colors_by_edcomics.jpg]lizard-man[/url] in sweatpants and a bunnyhug, the name made this monstrosity just a little less intimidating as he had to look up to the 6'6" looming over him. It was they guy from history class who bumped her and stormed off first.

At first, Alex wasn't sure what the comment was supposed to mean, he was well known to carry an axe on hand and mentally wincing that BOTH of them were in his bag, down the hall...Damnit. Maybe this guy just didn't know Alex's name, but by the way he spit the words, it seemed unlikely.

[color=aba000]"Not mine, not yours, she's her own person. You seen her?"[/color]

The metamorphic mutant took a deep flared nostril snort like hawking up a loogiee as he squinted his eyes. This kid used to be the american dream, his dad was an oil rigger in the south and he was going to go all state. When his mutations activated, he was just bulking up and getting better with a skin condition. But when the mutations got too much, he lost his scholarship and his dad lost his job. They cited affirmative action and lack of racial disparity rather than guilt by association. Now he was at a school of freaks and here comes some pretty-boy who's kind took his dads place at work.
[color=fff79a]"I saw her, I saw her first. Back eff ef her, er i'll break yeu in half. Chug."[/color]

Now that one, Alex got. He looked up to the heavens, or at least the ceiling tiles [color=aba000]~Really? Racist mutants?~[/color] Unfortunately, he [i]did[/i] take his eyes off of the lizard and he didn't need a mommaslap to remind him that was a bad idea as the guy sucker punched alex with a right cross to his left cheek, the spiny scales adding to the hit but not tearing his face up.

The Powhatan pushed himself with the powerful punch to penalize the punishment and pry some proportion to the predicament. He could not be bothered with this guy right now, but he was sure to take this up with HR later and let some psychic deal with it. Without fight, all that was left was flight, he could try out the door he was backed up against, but that meant turning his back and he knew she wasn't this way. 

Already against the wall, he took off as fast as he could, hoping he was faster than reptile reflexes. There was a wet splashing sound and he felt his foot get heavy like mud but it only threw him off instead of stopping him. Alex managed to hobble away faster than the other followed and looked down to see his foot was soaked in some sticky dark red stuff. Now he really wanted his bag.

Finally, after a near miss with a school bully, he passed Casper but didn't stop to talk to him. He thought he heard some commotion near the ladies loo. He came around the corner hoping to find out what happened in history class and put that mess behind him.


Footsteps would be heard through the halls as Amarie ran away from the classroom. What she did wasn't really her fault but deep inside of her it that she felt inside of her towards Alex. She didn't know what else to do.. Alex probably was laughing at her because she was a bad kisser or maybe he was vomiting or something. Those thoughts were going through her head as she ran towards the ladies bathroom, inside the bathroom, Amarie went to a stall closing the door and sitting on the toilet as she began to curse herself. Both of her hands were placed upon her head as she slowly started to shake it. [color=pink]"No no no. I can't believe that I did something like that to him... no he is going to hate me..!"[/color]

Several emotions were running through her head, and because of that it caused the door in-front of her to fly open and smashing towards the wall. Some teenager girls were running away from the bathroom as they heard the door shooting open and flying away towards the wall. Amarie yelled before running out of the bathroom and accidentally bumping into the guy himself, Alex. FUCKING SHIT.

Amarie's eyes widened while staring into Alex's eyes, there were so much embarrassment written all over her face, she slowly took a few steps away from him. But was stopped due to her back being against the wall while staring at him. she spoke in a nervous tone; [color=pink]"Please... don't hurt me. I didn't mean to give you a kiss..."[/color] Amarie would say while looking away, her hair covering her face while staring at the ground. A tear slowly started to come out of her face, her only friend and she might have blew it already with Alex. 


Alex first bumped into two other women as he rounded the corner, a black beauty with brilliant blond hair and a freckled flower-child bedecked in hemp. He sidestepped them only for Amarie to come out after and ricochet off him like rubber to put her back to the wall. She looked at him like she was the one to kill his cat now as she found the floor fascinating while apologizing and begging for him to not harm her.

He reached out to touch her, but stopped as he didn't want to give mixed signals. Instead, he squatted down to look up at her as his raven locks  all fell over to one side of his head, brushing the ground as he canted like a confused dog. He sat there for a few moments to sort his thoughts before finally speaking up.
[color=aba000]
"You told me, you sense and feel other peoples emotions. I just bumped into the lizard who touched you and he has a hard-on for you for something fierce. My question is Simple: Did Amarie kiss me because she likes me, or did she kiss me because hornytoad wanted to kiss her and she took it out on me?"[/color]


Amarie blushed as her head slowly started to turn over to Alex, she stared at him for a bit before speaking. But Amarie decided to say the turth instead of lying to herself and to others. Actually, being as how she is an empath, Amarie could sense if others are lying or not.. living with a guilt of her lying to Alex, wouldn't have ended so good.  [color=pink]"Because... I felt his emotion and my eyes went up to you... I don't know if it means if I like you or not but I felt a lust desire.. I wanted something... I wanted you.. you don't hate me right...?"[/color] Amarie said while slowly getting closer to Alex. Before placing a hand on his shoulder, she didn't sense anything as of yet but at-least Amarie did tell him the truth. 


Alex nodded as he listened to her, more than just hearing her words, he chewed them over in his head for a second before responding. He took her right hand off his left shoulder, but did not let go. He slowly rose to his full height and stepped forward. His chest to hers and her back to the wall as he still held her right hand, the wisp of raw Cinnamon bark off his breath as his right hand came up to touch her left side, thumb over her trembling stomach.

[color=aba000]"Do you still want me? Or do I scare you? Does the idea that an empath can never truly have her own feelings, only the feeling of those around her freeze you in fear and make you never want to try to be your own person? Are you a reflection of everyone around you, or are you your own person?"[/color]

He would be lying if her kiss didn't stir him into a frenzy a minute ago, but he had to know where her line of consent was. He would never take what was not freely given, but if she got worked up any time someone near her got antsy. He would not be able to trust her actions to be true. Not that he would mind being her vent of frustration, but he simply needed the established parameters... Damn, maybe he did feel less than others do.


[color=pink][i]"Do you still want me?"[/i][/color]

Those exact words was something that not even Amarie knew how to answer. Did she want him...? Was Amarie having a crush on Alex? There was some sort of attraction that she had towards the hunk. Amarie felt his manly hand upon the left side of her stomach, her eyes slowly looked up to Alex, she wasn't exactly going to lie but there was nothing for her to even say. Though, he had so many right points, she wasn't herself around others. All of their emotions clouded up inside of her head and it killed her to have felt so many emotions at once, maybe she did like Alex.. and having that emotion of the lizardguy running through her head gave her that push to show him. [color=pink]"I.. do feel some sort of attraction towards you.. and I'm my own person but I am also afraid that people might use their emotions to get to me. That's my weakness, other people. And I just want to be able to control it a bit. I'm sorry that I kissed you Alex, I hope you can forgive me."[/color]

Amarie nodded with a small smile forming across her face, speaking with Alex made her feel a lot better. It actually made her feel safe and all. But at times she thought that, it would have been better if Amarie was alone. No friends whatsoever. She slowly walked over to Alex, before wrapping both of her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. [color=pink]"This isn't anyone's emotion. This is mine..."[/color] she'd break from the hug, before turning around to walk away from Alex while scratching her left arm of how nervous she has been. 


Hazel to black and back to her. Trust, trust is the foundation of all relationships. Friendships, romances, marriages. They seemed to study each other for a few long moments before speaking up. He did not just hear her words, he listened to what she was saying. He wanted to smirk and be witty about being kissed by someone as pretty as her, but he couldnt do it, he could not be dismissive about her feelings and fears and still be her friend.

Next, she hugged him, arms around his neck and pressing close. A shiver went up his spine being so close to her, but he shoved his emotions down to keep from bleeding over onto her. An idea crept into his mind as she broke away from him, now he could smile wryly.

[color=aba000]"I like you, Amarie, I like your emotions... Meet me at the library after all of the classes for the day. I think I have an idea."[/color]

Now it was his turn to bite his bottom lip as she had been doing all day and let her go so he could go get his stuff from history class, he had prepping to do.
