[COLOR=gray] [i][COLOR=white][colour=BC8F8F] “And you…”[/colour] Her head tilted slightly, finger tapping her cheekbone and she surveyed him and attempted to pinpoint his accent. [colour=BC8F8F]“I want to say lower Midwest? Nebraska maybe? I'm also wagering you're a voluntary member of our merry band of misfits.”[/colour][/COLOR][/i]

Trevor nodded and returned her smile, albeit without any hint of ulterior motive or false sweetness. 
[color=lightgreen]"Close! I'm from Missouri and yeah I volunteered. I'm going for the H.E.A.T. program,"[/color] he added with an edge of excitement in his voice. He was vaguely aware that she was moving closer to him but didn't assign any more mental energy to it beyond simple acknowledgment. 

[color=lightgreen]"What's Connecticut like? I've never been."[/color]
The thought occurred to him that he might annoy her with asking so many questions but she didn't seem to be annoyed. If anything, she seemed interested in talking to him, like [i]really[/i] interested. Of course he could be misinterpreting that but he was relatively sure Makenna wanted to talk to him.

[i][color=fff200]"Let's go, Blackjack. Faster we're set up, faster we can hang out."[/color][/i]

Trevor nodded in agreement with Rory and went to work right away on the first tent he could find. Or at least tried to. What in the world was he looking at? Some other students were further along than him in setting up their accommodations and it seemed like he was dealing with some kind of self-setting tent. But it wasn't really a tent, was it? A quick glance inside at the amenities and Trevor frowned with disappointment. They weren't camping at all. 

[color=lightgreen]"This is just a hotel with extra steps,"[/color] he muttered to himself. 

Where were the tarps? The tent stakes? The jet boiler for making the worst coffee you've ever tasted but it tastes good because you made it while breathing that fresh air and listening to the birds sing? He couldn't help the twinge of sadness as he once again remembered his time hiking and camping with his family. It felt like such a long time ago and so far away; farther than just being in another country. Those memories were from a time and place where everything was simpler and he wasn't a Hyper. As much as he wanted to use his abilities to help others, every now and then he wondered if maybe his life would be better if he was just a regular human like the rest of his family. His priest back home had told him his abilities were a gift from God and even though Father Murphy had never steered him wrong before, Trevor wasn't so sure this time. 

His thoughts were interrupted when Trace suddenly called out to him and Rory. Their mention of Haleigh made him freeze like a child caught wrist deep in the cookie jar. His embarrassment was still fresh and he dared not look Haleigh in the eye for fear of what look she might give him. She was definitely still upset with him and he couldn't stand the thought of someone being upset with him. Except Team 18 they didn't count. The great colossus of social anxiety and the titan of people pleasing tendencies grappled for a few agonizing seconds until another student spoke up. Trevor didn't know his name but was immensely grateful for being granted an out... and then felt intensely guilty for wanting that out. 

[i][color=799E5E]"I am more than willing to help you out, camarada."[/color][/i]

[color=lightgreen]"It's settled then. Let me know if you guys need any help!"[/color] he called out.
He meant it too even as he made himself busy with setting up the nearest unoccupied yurt. Everything else aside, he was very much looking forward to Rory's suggestion of football.
