Grand Ridge Academy – Smoker’s Corner


Tuyen was quite happy to let Justin lead her out of the dormitories – the fire alarm had been starting to get to her too and it didn’t make sense to stick around. She was glad Min had gone without much of a fight, too. It made her life easier though she’d need to speak with him soon enough.

When they reached the back area that she didn’t normally visit, not being a smoker herself, Tuyen fidgeted a bit while trying to force herself to calm down. She caught something out of the corner of her eye and jumped ever so slightly, but quickly calmed down as she realised it was just the bush moving in the wind. Not something that didn’t exist.

Way to go make yourself look paranoid, Tuyen. She mentally berated herself as she went to lean against the wall beside Justin. Relax, it was a conversation with someone she was close to. It would be fine.

“Yeah, it’s been tough,” Tuyen shrugged with a somewhat weak smile. “I understand, and anyway I’m the one who hasn’t been responding to your texts. If anything I owe the explanation.” So she’d seen some of them, just hadn’t really gotten around to replying. It didn’t help that Min texted almost every day. “I guess I can’t really pretend to be okay, can I?”

She laughed slightly at that. Oh yeah, she definitely wasn’t okay. Seeing things and her shadow literally moving? Yeah, maybe going a bit crazy was a better way to describe how she was feeling. Didn’t mean she knew how to explain – or wanted to. How did you tell someone that you were seeing things without them referring you to a therapist? She did not want that. So, instead she did what she always did – deflecting and concentrated on her concern for the other person.

“But anyway, I imagine it’s been harder on you. You were right in the middle of it, weren’t you? I just kind of got dragged from place to place by Min… and that’s sticking with me enough. So many people saw worse…”

If there was one thing Tuyen was good at, it was belittling her own problems.

Grand Ridge Academy – The Parking Lot


“I don’t know what I just did.” Rien was staring at the piece of paper they was supposed to be a drawing of a butterfly rather than the actual, very much alive butterfly that was now fluttering about. What?

They’d just been doodling away during the conversation, finding it easy enough to knock together a quick sketch. Butterflies weren’t hard to draw really. They’d finished when there’d been a lull in the conversation before inspecting the drawing. They don’t know what had prompted them to do it but they’d tapped it with the finger… only for it to go into the paper. Then their whole hand as they pulled out a butterfly.

That wasn’t normal.

“Guys, I think I just pulled a butterfly out of my fucking drawing,” Rien turned to face Jordan and Kimberley with their mouth slightly agape, letting the now empty piece of paper fall on the floor. “You saw that, right? I’m not going crazy… that is the butterfly I drew?” 
@FernStone I'm gonna have Rien finish her drawing and bring it to life because idk what else to write about.


That works perfectly fine for me

Grand Ridge Academy – Outside Tuyen’s Dorm


Tuyen stiffened at first as Justin hugged her before allowing herself to relax into it. It was nice to get some kind of comfort after everything that had happened in the past month. And as much as she’d like to, she realised she couldn’t really pretend to be okay right now. It would take an idiot not to notice how much of a mess she was.

Min had been too busy trying to think what exactly was meant by magic, how exactly that fire had appeared, that he didn’t notice Tuyen had appeared until well after she’d come out. When he did a frown crossed his features and he turned to face the other two. “Tuyen, you-”

“Min,” Tuyen cut him off before he could say anymore, not even bothering to hide how tired she sounded. She took a step away from Justin before continuing to talk. “I appreciate you coming to check on me, I really do, but I’m not really in the mood to talk to you just now. Sorry.”

It was a first for her to refuse to just give in to Min’s need to spend time with her. Normally she wouldn’t mind, but right now it wasn’t something she wanted to do. Even though she’d managed to ignore her shadow for now she didn’t know how long that would last. She’d just rather not have Min around until she figured this all out.

Of course, Min didn’t take it particularly well. He’d come all the way over here in the hope of checking on his cousin before classes, yet she wanted him to leave. Of course his somewhat sour glare turned to Justin – he couldn’t be annoyed with Tuyen for it, that was just impossible. There was a high chance that it was Justin’s fault in some way. However he didn’t say anything, just giving a slight nod to Tuyen. He’d leave her in peace for now, as much as he disliked it, and talk to her later.

Holding back a slight sigh and adding her cousin to things she was ignoring right now, Tuyen turned back to Justin. “Do you, uh, have time to talk? It’s been a while.” She glanced at Min again. “Somewhere else, though.”

Grand Ridge Academy – The Parking Lot


“It’s okay, Jordan, thanks,” Rien spoke to their friend first before responding to David, honestly glad she’d said something. But it wasn’t like what David said bothered them that much. Well, at least they’d make it look that way – had to keep up the whole not caring thing.

“I remember most of the end of the night,” now turning to David, Rien gave another slight shrug. “It would be hard to forget especially since I was too drunk to do something about it.” If anything that was part of what had disturbed them the most, the fact that they’d witnessed it all (and remembered it) while being close to passed out. Not that it had stopped them drinking as much afterwards.

“I’m afraid I just forgot you, even if I didn’t forget the night as much as I might like to. No hard feelings! I’m just not very good at remembering people when I’m drunk.”

That was a lie, they remembered some people very well from when they were drunk, but if it made David feel better it seemed like the right thing to say. 
I'm looking forward to writing a post where Rien just nonchalantly slams down David cause they remember the night but not him at all
Yeahhh it's going fine, just a fair amount to keep up with and all >< Now that my hectic weeks of holiday and seeing friends is done I should get a chance to respond sometime in the next few days (sorry again its taken so long)

Grand Ridge Academy – Outside Tuyen’s Dorm


Min could only look in shock as Justin’s entire hand erupted into flames with no cause in sight, taking a step backwards and away from the radiating heat. His anger reduced slightly, but only because of sheer shock and confusion. How did he do that? It shouldn’t be physically possible. There was absolutely no explanation for that.

“How did you do that?” he practically demanded an explanation – not exactly changing his tune to be nice and all. He wanted to know how on earth that happened but it wasn’t exactly making him like Justin anymore. On the other hand, getting him to keep away from Tuyen could wait until after he understood what was going on.

Grand Ridge - Tuyen’s Dorm


Tuyen heard the raised voices outside, though she couldn’t quite make out the words. It was easy enough for her to guess what it was about. It exhausted her. The thought of having to go out there when there was still an argument just didn’t appeal. Not to mention the fact she wasn’t in the mood to deal with Min at the moment.

At least her shadow seemed to have quieted down for the moment as she concentrated on ignoring it. It was a small blessing. The last thing she wanted was to have to deal with that when talking to the two arguing outside.

It was when everything quieted down a bit (she didn’t know why, but the less shouting the better) that Tuyen actually opened the door she’d been standing beside for a while. She didn’t do it fully and just stuck her head out. Just act like she normally did, pretend to be fine and all.

“Are you two finished arguing?” she gave a slightly tired smile before tilting her head at what she saw. She was clearly a confused – but didn’t vocalise it.

Grand Ridge Academy – The Parking Lot


Rien took the camera from Kimberley before giving the picture a curious look. The picture itself was certainly nice and they were pretty confident it was something they could draw. Would maybe take a while to get the full thing right if Kimberley wanted the colours.

“Yeah, I could draw this!” Rien grinned, about to say something else when someone else approached their group. They tilted their head at the person and tried to place them. “Uh, hi. Yeah I’m doing fine.”

They paused for a moment giving a slight shrug at the apology. Didn’t bother them. What did was the fact they didn’t recognise the other at all. “Do I know you? Wait, let me guess, we probably met when I was drunk.” 
Realising I should've given Min a power like using words to harm people cause then every time he was a condescending asshole it would do him some slight good

I also meant to write Tuyen again in my last post but it's a busy weekend so next time

Grand Ridge Academy – Dorms


Justin’s words only annoyed Min further – pushing him more into the realm of anger. His girl? As if Justin had any right to call Tuyen something like that. That wasn’t something that Min was ever going to accept and he couldn’t believe that his cousin allowed it.

“How about you back off from my cousin, and then I’ll start minding my business,” Min snapped in response, returning Justin’s start unflinchingly. He knew that the taller man could easily take him – but if that did happen it wouldn’t exactly look good, would it? He could deal with that if it meant Tuyen realised how Justin wasn’t good enough for her.

It was then that he glanced down at Justin’s hands, confusion briefly crossing his features at what he saw and the heat he felt. It didn’t compute with his logical brain in anyway way. A lighter? That was just playing dirty. “What the hell are you playing at?”

Grand Ridge Academy – The Showers


Rien couldn’t say that they were delighted to be standing outside having barely gotten out of bed but whatever, wasn’t like they had a reputation for caring about their appearance. And at least they had some company – could be worse than the boring wait for them to be allowed back in.

They’d sort of zoned out until Kimberley directly talked to them, turning to face her with a light shrug.

“Sorta. I do a bunch of digital stuff with my tablet when I have time to make games.” Which wasn’t often with the work load of their actual computing course. “Haven’t done just normal drawing for a while, though. Pretty sure I could still do it though!”

Grand Ridge Academy – Dorms


“I could say the same to you, Justin,” Min didn’t even try to keep the disdain from his voice as he folded his arms, stepping in a way that would stop Justin from getting closer to Tuyen’s dorm room. It wasn’t that he was trying to be confrontational – he just didn’t want the other going near his cousin. She clearly wasn’t feeling good and there was no way Justin would be able to help with that. And Min certainly wasn’t leaving (even with the fire alarm now blaring) unless he saw his cousin.

Really, Justin was the last person that he wanted to see. It wasn’t that he wasn’t in the mood for dealing with him. It was more that the last thing Min wanted was to Tuyen to step out and see any kind of confrontation. He cared about his cousin and cared about her not disliking him. Still he had to put his foot down.

“What brings you here?” It was clear from the way he spoke that he thought Justin had no right to be here. And, just in case the message of what he was asking wasn’t quite clear, he went on. “What business do you have with Tuyen?”






Tuyen’s Dorm Room


Through the ringing of the alarm Tuyen heard voices outside her door. It only took a few words for her to recognise both of them. Great. There was a reason that she was ignoring the fire alarm and it was to avoid bumping into anyone.

If she was honest Min was not someone she wanted to talk to right now. What if she couldn’t keep up the act of being okay? He’d just think she was insane. And she knew there was no way he would understand. She couldn’t even explain anything to him because he caused so many of her insecurities. Justin? She wasn’t so sure, but he was better than Min in this situation.

“They’re not here for you anyway.”

This time she tried to ignore the whisper, forcing herself up and taking a step towards the door. She wasn’t going to open it – not yet. Still she went to stand near it. The shadow followed her, as it always did. She’d figured out that it was always attached to her in some way early on.

For now she concentrated on trying to push away and ignore it, while getting up the confidence to actually step out of her room.

Grand Ridge Academy – The Showers


“Damn, and I was just about to shower,” Rien frowned with a light shrug. “Guess we should be getting out, though doesn’t look like a fire is coming here soon!”

Still they pulled their towel around their shoulders and took a step towards the door. Keeping it slow, because they weren’t really panicking as much as all the other girls running out. Also wouldn’t be fair to just speed away knowing Jordan wouldn’t be able to keep up with that.

“I hope they don’t cancel classes, I actually have some interesting ones today.”
