[INDENT][color=D94A3F]"It's... I'm fine, thank you."[/color] Something was off about the way Haleigh replied, but Katja couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was. She was sure that the wheelchair bound girl looked distressed just a moment earlier. But looking down at her now, Hayleigh looked more embarrassed than anything. Had she really misread the situation this much? 

Katja could kick herself. She didn’t mean to make the other girl feel embarrassed, Katja just wasn’t used to interacting with people a whole lot and apparently she just prematurely jumped to conclusion. But Hayleigh already turned around before she could apologize for causing the awkward situation she created. Katja bit on the inside of her cheek out of frustration at herself. It seemed like she had a lot to learn about reading other people.

She looked at Hayleigh leave for a few seconds before going after her. After catching up with Hayleigh, Katja put her hands in the pocket of her blazer and walked casually next to her as they left the stadium. She felt a bit too awkward to strike up a conversation with Hayleigh, instead she fell back to one of her older coping mechanisms and started whistling a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSV6zccQ2Js] song[/url] her mother used to sing to her.

Katja spotted a cluster of their fellow team members as they got close to the intake house. Having had enough awkward encounters with team members for this day, Katja decided against joining in whatever conversation they were involved in and headed straight for the intake house. She didn’t really know if Hayleigh was still with her or if she’d stopped to join the rest of the team.

Honestly, she was looking forward to the Homecoming Trials. It sounded like some sort of physical aptitude test, given how they had to get their PE kits on. This excited Katja, as unlike dealing with other people, physical activities were much more her forte. She did wonder what kind of activities they’d get to do though. Combat seemed a bit unlikely, as it’d be hard for a school to excuse their super powered students beating the shit out of each other. Plus, how would you fairly regulate fights between people who can bench trains face off against people who can talk with plants?

The thoughts about the Homecoming Trials had Katja absentmindedly opening the door to her dorm room, trying to look for her PE kit. She honestly should have knocked, and would have if not being distracted by her thoughts. But she didn’t and now she walked in on the pale shape of another team member, Trace.

[color=ff7514]”Oh fak!”[/color] Katja exclaimed in surprise as she immediately cast her eyes down to the ground and tried to move back behind the door. She honestly hadn’t seen much of anything. For all she knew Trace stood there fully dressed in a short sleeved shirt and shorts or whatever, but she didn’t want to take the risk by double checking. [color=ff7514]I’m really faking sorry… I should have knocked. I…[/color] She let out a deep, frustrated sigh.

This day was going swimmingly…
