Julia shrugged. "You have a point, but some things just aren't easy to talk about. And the world just does judge, it's the way it is. But I just think practically like that. Part of it may be that you're new and no one really knows you yet. Give it some time."

Julia smiled and took a seat. "Ah, well nice to meet you. My father's a professor here, so I've become familiar with the staff over the years. Oh, sorry, I've forgotten my manners, my name is Julia Drake. How are you?" She gave him a wry smile. "I guess it makes sense people don't really volunteer to see a counselor, no one wants to admit they've got a problem, or they're weak, or that there's something wrong with them."
okay, thank you
Name: William Beckett (goes by Liam)
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Abilities: Transforms into animals or certain body parts into animal body parts
Personality: Liam is skeptical of rules and authority figures. He hates bullies and people who think they are better than everyone else. He loves his independence, and can be a bit of a punk. Liam is prone to anger, but he gets most angry when any harm or ill will comes to Ellison, as he is very protective of her. He can seem aloof sometimes, and isn’t a huge fan of talking, especially about his past or problems. He has a huge soft spot for Ellison, and cares for her a great deal.
Appearance: 
Bio: William Beckett was the son of a colonel and his sickly wife. Liam’s power has been passed down through the Beckett line, so his father taught him how to use it. Things were good, until his father went off to war, leaving Liam to care for his sickly mother. A couple years later, they learned he died in combat. Only a year after that did his mother at last lose her life to illness that ad plagued her all her life. Rather than go into the foster care system, he jumped from house to house of his relatives and friends, staying for a month or two before moving on. He was taking the deaths hard, was often angry and not in a good state of mind, so he would leave before he became too much of a burden and completely lost their favor. Eventually he ran out of relatives and friends and left the city to make his way in the world. One day, Liam met a scared, abused little girl named Scarlett Ellison. Liam decided to rescue her and they began living on the streets, moving from town to town and city to city. They did this for years but eventually they got caught by social services and put in the orphanage.
Name: Scarlett Ellison (goes by Ellison)
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Abilities: She can control ribbons. She can use them as whips, or as ropes to pull people closer, catch them if falling, or wrap around their ankles and trip them, or sharpen the edges to cut with
Personality: Ellison is often quiet and shy, especially around strangers. However, once she knows a person she can be kind and sweet, though she reserves her trust for those who’ve earned it, and putting most faith in Liam. She looks to Liam for guidance as she doesn’t really trust adults. She likes to have fun but is very cautious when it comes to “doing things right”.
Appearance: 
Bio: Scarlett Ellison started out life living with her kind parents, and when her gift came along they nurtured it and encouraged it. However, their whole apartment complex caught fire, and Ellison was the only one in her family among the few survivors. When her parents died, she was shoved into an overcrowded strict all-girls boarding school orphanage combo. The matron became abusive anytime anything wasn’t completely perfect and completely normal. This led to Ellison getting into lots of trouble because of her powers. She lived like this for years until she met an older boy named Liam. Liam rescued her and they began living on the streets, moving from town to town and city to city. They did this for years but eventually they got caught by social services and put in the orphanage. She absolutely adores Liam, and for now considers him as her brother and knight in shining armor, though who knows whether that will change when she gets older.

I'm not sure if Ikebukuro University is the name of the college, I just made it up now.
Alex wasn't sure what to do during lunch. He could go and join the teachers and students having lunch on the roof, which he had heard was a popular spot, but lunch time was going to be when he could expect the most students to turn up. He wasn't sure whether or not he should go or stay. He decided, after much self-debate, that he would head up the stairs and take a table. He made a makeshift sign, pointing out that he was the school counselor, and headed up to the roof, sitting at a table with the sign on the table in front of him as he began eating.Julia finished eating and noticed the person with the school counselor sign. She stood up, threw away her trash, and decide to talk to the new staff member. She walked to his table and stood in front of it. "Hi, am I bothering you? If I am, I can go. I just saw your sign, you must be the new counselor, eh? Welcome to Ikebukuro University."
I'll just have Julia talk to Alex anyway!
Yeah, sorry, um, let's see, what can I do...
Julia had no idea what she was looking forward to. She didn't even have a clear image of what the camp was supposed to be for her. She supposed she could do a board, or a collage. She remembered that her mother used to do them, when she was having trouble connecting the pieces on a case. When you had the parts but couldn't see the whole. Julia hadn't made one in years. Not since it happened.
Julia gathered her materials, only half knowing what she was doing. She smoothed out her large piece of posterboard and scrawled her name in the corner with charcoal. Ten she got to work, finding things she liked and adding them to the collage. Some of it was just color, and some of it didn't even make sense. Julia didn't even notice the tears in her eyes.
