The dormitory was alive with bright lights and fast music, and packed with students across all grades. Rainna subconsciously grooved to the tune as she pushed through the crowd that had gathered in the room, thoroughly enjoying the activity and company that currently surrounded her. One kid was scaling the wall, another was sipping her drink while suspended in midair, a couple more were putting on little shows for their companions with their element manipulation abilities, and bags of snacks and bottles were being passed around by telekinesis. She felt so accepted, so normal, so comfortable being around people just like her that the events that had led to her ending up at Skyline seemed but a distant memory. It had been five years since she had left home, and four since she was first enrolled, though, it was not as if she wanted to think back to those times. She was happy here, and that was what mattered.

"Yo Rivera, we're out," called one of the partygoers as he approached her, holding the large bowl that had contained the party mix upside down to emphasize what he had just said.

Rainna let out a dramatic sigh. "Alright, I guess I'll step out and get more stuff for the mix. Take care of things for me here while I'm gone, okay Sweetie?"

She opened the dormitory door only slightly and peered out, checking the corridor to make sure that there were no staff members around to spot her, before quietly darting out. There was a twenty-four hour convenience store not far from the back gate of the school, and Rainna knew that the quickest way to the gate from the student hostel was across the academy courtyard. Not expecting anyone else to be at the courtyard at such an hour, she nearly gave herself away as she prepared to dash across, and stopped just in time when she caught sight of a stranger in a mask with a little boy. Thankful that they had not seen her, she cautiously crept to the fountain and crouched behind it, waiting to see what they would do, or what would happen next.

It did not take long for the headmaster to appear and approach the masked stranger, to Rainna's confusion. Headmaster Outterridge had been a rather enigmatic individual ever since he had stepped up to the position a year ago. He rarely spoke or interacted with the students apart from any announcements he would give at assemblies. She had never thought much of it, until now. What was he involved in? What was that in his hand, and who were the man in the mask and the child to him? After both parties had left the area, she waited just a moment more before standing up and moving from her position behind the fountain.

"What was all that even about?" She muttered, completely forgetting about what she had left her dormitory to do.
