Monalisa watched in awe as one of the young women in the courtyard somehow conjured up a ball of fire with her bare hands and allowed it to levitate directly over the small group that had formed. Although Mona had been in the school for some time now, she was still getting used to the idea of people having abilities. Hell, she was still getting used to the idea of having abilities herself. Nevertheless, Mona continued to watch from her spot at the window sill, only backing away when she and the girl who'd conjured fire met each other's gaze.

See, Mona was fully aware of what she probably looked like to the other students that were standing around the courtyard; she could infer this by the weird expression of the girl who'd made direct eye contact with her. Not wanting to draw anymore attention to herself, the young woman plopped down on her own mattress, internally debating on whether or not she should investigate any further. [color=#0388C9]"I guess I should stop acting like some kind of creep and go check things out for myself, huh?"[/color] Mona wondered aloud. Her roommate, who was now sprawled across the edge of her bed, simply muttered an inaudible string of words before turning over, letting out a loud yawn, and shutting her eyes. [color=#0388C9]"I guess I'll take that as a yes,"[/color] Mona said quietly before standing up from her seat and quickly slipping her sneakers back onto her feet. Within moments, the girl had pulled on the jacket that was hanging on the knob of her closet, grabbed her room key, and was headed out into the hall.

The first thing that Mona heard when she stepped out into the hallway, aside from the muffled thumping of party music, was the sound of feet pounding away at the tiled floor, the second being the staircase door being pushed open. Without much hesitation, Mona began to follow the person who'd been making these sounds; she walked briskly down the hall, catching the stairwell door just before it slammed shut. It only took her a minute or so to jog down the staircase; she arrived just in time to see a girl with brown hair and long, purple earrings peer out of the doorway. Looking through the glass, Mona could see one of the girls from the courtyard wave in their direction; putting two and two together, Mona assumed that she must've spotted the brown-haired girl from the window as well. [color=#0388C9]"So,"[/color] Mona said softly from the bottom step, twirling one of her locs around her finger as she did so, [color=#0388C9]"I'm guessing that you saw what I saw. And what they all saw. Whatever the hell that was."[/color]
