Bruce was looking around at the others.  There were quite a few of them, but what was Oberon implying by mentioning how weird that was?

He didn't pay much attention as Tess pilfered the nurse's stuff and then left.  She was a uselessly abrasive person, and he honestly didn't have time for that.  

There was a bit of a scare just then when an ambulance siren could be heard approaching, and stopping somewhere on campus.  Bruce, for one, thought for a moment that things were more serious than they had expected.

But moments later, a boy with a bloody leg could be seen being wheeled by the open door on a stretcher.  

It turned out that Jackson was right on the money.  Soon, the very frazzled principle appeared with a few parents, including Dr. Bailey, who was not working during the day at the moment.  

"Ah," the principle spoke up first.  "Good, you're awake.  Some of your parents are here to take you home, and we're arranging rides for the rest of you.  How does everyone feel?"

Danielle Carroll was the first to find Tess.  Nobody answered when she knocked repeatedly on the door, so she began to assume it was some kind of asshole prank, locking the unisex bathroom from the outside so no one could use it.  Transphobic motivations, most like.  

She looked up and down the hall to make sure the coast was clear, before putting her hand up to the little hole in the door handle, through which the lock could be pressed.  A sort of electric whir noise emanated from her open palm, as a small, controlled pulse of force shot into the lock, clicking it open.  When she opened the door, her eyes widened in shock.  Not just from the person occupying the room, but from the unusual appendages that Danielle got there just in time to see.  They seemed to be dissolving as she watched.  

Danielle hopped in the cramped bathroom, closed the door behind her, and tried to shake Tess awake.
