Samantha Wellington & Aveline Standiford

@McHaggis

As Samantha Wellington headed into Aveline Standiford’s room, she noticed Jamie was just leaving. She gave him a small wave, to which the boy nodded in response, but seemed a little spooked, and walked in. “Hey Aveline, I need to talk to you for a moment,” she said, sitting down on one of the stools in the Home Ec room. “It’s about one of your favorite students and one of my students.”

Aveline peered up over thin glasses, leafing through a ledger of some sort – probably for Home Economics supplies… ingredients and the like. “Which one of them’s done something this time, this early in the year?”

“Well your student is the one that just walked out, Jamie Drummond. He might have mentioned a small run in with Natali Valkyrie? If not, then I guess I might need to fill you in,” Sam said and sighed.

“No, no, it’s fine,” the Home Economics teacher said hurriedly, and a little nervously. “While he doesn’t follow the rules, I think being threatened with death was enough for him to show up at my door – and, of course… all that talk of powers...”

“Woah woah, death!? Natali said nothing of the ilk. She mentioned to me that she had felt something in her mind around him and had decided to ask him if he had powers as well. Apparently that didn’t go so well and he called her crazy and now she’s worried she’s been ostracized from the whole school. All on the first day,” Samantha said, a bit surprised. Natali was brash, sure, but she would never threaten death.

Aveline shifted from side to side in her own chair uncomfortably, tapping on her temple like some secret code. “‘In my country either makes you a bastard, or an soon to be dead man,’” she quoted. “That’s what she said. It’s no wonder he called her crazy – wouldn’t you agree? It’s a more pressing matter than the accidental leak of information of the supernatural.”

Samantha sighed. “I was not aware of this… I will talk to Natali tomorrow about it. I have warned her about that temper of hers… her own foster parents were trying to work her being less confrontational… I do apologize. I hope we can reach an accord with both of them and make amends. We don’t need any more problems this year,” she said, rubbing her own temples.

“Jamie handled it well, at least, as well as he could without breaking the rules too. He’s blameless in it.” Aveline was known for playing favourites, that was for sure.

“Aveline… we both know Jamie may bend and break the rules sometimes, but he is not all blameless in this. He did call her crazy and told her she was a Soviet, in the middle of the hall way. I don’t think Natali was lying about that part.”

“Call it ignorance, then. The facts don’t lie – she’s from the Ukraine, and he made an assumption – but need I remind you that Jamie could’ve started an all out panic in the school if he’d humoured her about her powers? Calling her crazy at least put a little doubt in her mind. He saved us a whole lot of bother.”

“I will give him that, however, as I said, she is now worried about the social repercussions of all this. She even asked to have lunch with me to avoid the other students. I am not saying that one or the other deserves all the blame. I am just wishing we can mend the gap and try to make this year peaceful. I have handed the power thing on my end, although lying feels terrible, but, she won’t question the other students again,” Sam said. She was trying to suppress her thoughts, but it was no secret among the faculty that Aveline’s ‘golden child’ was Jamie. No matter how much trouble he made with Ash Mareino, or how many rules he broke, he could do no wrong in the young teacher's mind. It was getting annoying on some ends.

Aveline sighs, arms crossing defensively as she rubs at her temple. She doesn’t even try to speak aloud. My honest opinion – without bias, now – is that asking… forcing Jamie to apologise to her will have him tell the whole school she’s a nutter. Right now, the only one who he has commented on it to is… Ash Mareino.

“I’m not trying to force an apology out of Jamie. As I said, I will speak with Natali, and get her to apologize first. She was wrong to make threats, and if Jamie wishes to accept it and move on, then hopefully peace will be made,” Sam said. “This doesn’t even have to be public. We can do it after classes are over tomorrow.”

“He will make it public, because he’s a teenager. The indignation of being dragged away from his friends to apologise to some girl he doesn’t even know – or care about–”

Samantha stopped Aveline. “I am only asking Natali to apologize at this point. Jamie just has to listen.”

“Right.” Well, that cut her off successfully. “Just make sure it’s sincere, if anything. Jamie can… er, tell.”

“I believe it will be. She just wants to fit in… but has a hard time. As I said, I will talk to her. Although I wish she had been upfront about making threats… I do apologize to you for that,” Samantha said and sighed.

“It’s not a problem…” Aveline sighed almost in tandem. “Just, um… if it still backfires, I did say. Okay?”

“Yes, you did. However, I just hope it can be swept under the rug, and quietly. Augh, things were so much easier when I was younger. Thank you for hearing me out. I will see you tomorrow then,” Samantha said, rubbing her temples. “I'll pull Natali aside during her second period class, since I'm busy during first and she's in swimming.”

“I'll talk to Jamie during first period. Though I’ll probably just do it during class when he’s too busy concentrating on cooking just to scare the pants off him.” Aveline smiled, albeit weakly.

“Woman after my own heart Aveline. Thanks for being understanding, and clearing it up more for me.”

“Yeah. See you around.” With that Samantha nodded and headed to go outside to her car. It was time to head home… she needed to rest after that.

Stella Herbalem & Mr. Johnson @Kirah
Just before Dinner

After Stella finished unpacking, she realized she had some time before dinner to explore the grounds a bit. She pulled out the map of Northwood and smiled to herself. She saw that there were greenhouses, and noticed on the class schedule that they were where the Horticulture club met. It had been some time since she had been just among plants and listened to them, so she put on her jacket and headed outside.

She went towards the greenhouse, letting her powers flow a bit, wondering what the plants were feeling. However, they all felt the same thing. This strong urge to make people leave. “Leave. Leave. Leave. Leave.” The word echoed in her head until she clapped her hands over her ears. “STOP!”

A weathered hand touched Stella’s shoulder gently. “Miss, are you okay?” The voice is deep, and calming.

Stella looked up and blinked. “Oh uh, sorry, I just, had a lot on my mind and was trying to make it stop,” she said. She shut out her power, not wanting to hear the voices at the moment. “I’m sorry if I worried you. I have a tendency to just keep my head in the clouds, as mama says.”

“I’m Mr. Johnson, what’s your name Miss?” He asked nodding his head.

“Stella Herbalem… oh! You’re the Horticulture club adviser! Its nice to meet you!” Stella said, perking up after this. She had read through her schedule earlier, and had noticed his name.

“Ah Miss Herbalem. I remember your name on the roster. Want to check out the houses then?”

“Would a honey bee love to pollinate a lily?! That is why I came out here. I was hoping to sneak a look around before club met Tuesday… seems like a long time,” she said and went to follow Mr. Johnson to the greenhouses. She kept her powers under wraps for the moment. She knew better than to tell people she didn’t know well about her powers. Also, she was still a bit freaked out about what the plants were feeling. It was normal for plants to feel all sorts of things, but for all of them to feel the same thing at the same time? And such a feeling as making everyone want to leave? Something was wrong at Northwood. However, for the time, Stella shoved it out of her head.

Mr. Johnson chuckled a bit as he entered the flower greenhouse. “This is the second greenhouse.” He explained. “Want to see something special?” He asked with a wink.

“I’d love to! I mean, if that’s alright with you,” Stella said, trying to calm down. However, she was super excited about plants. Maybe the ones in the greenhouse would be different. Maybe they’d be happier? She continued to follow Mr. Johnson, interested in what the something special was.

“Excellent.” Mr. Johnson led Stella down one of the isles and pulled a small rose plant forward. “This is a special breed I’ve been working on for the last couple years.” Mr. Johnson leaned forward to bring his face close to the rose. “How are you doing today Katie?” Mr. Johnson gently brushed one of the leaves, and seemed to be nodding to the rose. “This is Stella, I have a feeling the two of you will get along just wonderfully.” Mr. Johnson looked to Stella. “She’d like to shake hands.”

Stella smiled, reaching out gently and brushed the same leave as Mr. Johnson. “Hello Katie, it is lovely to meet you. You’re quite beautiful,” she said to the plant and then looked at Mr. Johnson. “She’s lovely!” Stella paused for a moment, and turned her empathy back on, wondering what Katie was feeling. A pleasant warmth spread into Stella’s finger, along with the small push to leave. Stella smiled. Perhaps it was not all bad here. Katie was well cared for. “I can tell she gets a lot of love,” she said, turning back to Mr. Johnson.

“None of them have been too happy since the end of last semester.” Mr. Johnson shook his head sadly.

Stella blinked. Could it be… She then shook her head. “Was it… because… I mean I’ve heard about what happened… plants have more empathy than most people understand,” she said, removing her hand gently from Katie. She wouldn’t use her powers on this one… no… She was Mr. Johnson’s.

“Yes.” Mr. Johnson nodded. “Something’s wrong and they know it.” He gestured around the room. “You can sense it, but now isn’t the time and place to talk about it. I’ll talk to you tomorrow about it all during your homeroom.”

Stella went wide eyed and nodded. “Alright Mr. Johnson. But you are right… They don’t want anyone else to stay here… except Katie,” she said softly.

“Katie sees hope. The others only feel the darkness. Just know you’re not alone Miss Herbalem.” Mr. Johnson reached over to another plant and gently placed his hand the plant, and Stella could see it stretch and visible grow under the gentle touch of Mr. Johnson.

Stella nodded. “Thank you. I look forward to talking to you more tomorrow Mr. Johnson,” she said. She knew it was the time not to talk about this, as he said. But she was surprised. She had never met anyone else that had powers like hers. She then smiled to herself. He could easily do the same to Katie, but he was letting her grow on her own. What a kind man.

“Have a good evening Miss Herbalem. I look forward to our chat as well.” He held out his hand for Stella to shake. She happily shook his hand and nodded.

“You too Mr. Johnson,” she said, before going to head to the dining hall.

Samantha Wellington & Natali Valkyrie @Maelvona

Samantha Wellington was setting up for the first music class in the theater. There was the choir part and the music part. Her husband had volunteered to help, since it was a Sunday, but she had said no. She was finished with first day stuff, but had made it clear that if anyone had wanted to talk to her before classes started for the year, she would be on campus till nine pm that Sunday.

Natali walked into the auditorium, wearing an red hat and an light wool coat. She had on fuzzy boots, looking comfy, and had a red scarf as well, she seemed to like to wear clothing usually meant for the cold. "Mrs. Wellington," she spoke, clearing her throat before continuing. "How are you today?"

Samantha looked up and smiled as Natali spoke up. "Hello Natali. I am doing well. How are you? How can I help you?" She asked, turning her attention to her student and away from setting up the chairs. She ran through her mind. Natali Valkyrie. Junior. She was in her theater class. She was her assigned counselor, and she was always there to help.

"Ah, I just wished to know what we were going to be working on for Drama Class..." She looked around at the half-assembled orchestra. "Need any help?" She brisked her hands and kept them at her sides. She seemed quiet for a while, until looking back up at the teacher with an certain sort of eagerness that comes from nervousness.


"I'm not sure yet. I was hoping to get the classes input on Tuesday when we met. We do need to figure out how many of you are actually acting, and not just on stage crew. However, I was thinking maybe some Shakespeare first. We have a couple of good leading men and women in class," Samantha answered. She looked at Natali and paused. "Is everything alright? I mean I appreciate the offer for help, and will take you up on it, but it seems you came here for another reason," she added, gesturing to the pile of chairs that still needed unfolding.

She nodded quickly, and started to get to work with the chairs.. "I-Well, I think I may have been a little too overeager, with reacting to my classmates and interacting.. I sort of.. I kind of flubbed up." She sighed and tried not to look the young teacher in the eyes.

Samantha looked at Natali. The girl was a bit brash at times, and had been reminded a few times by Samantha to be discreet about her powers. She walked over and patted Natali on the shoulder. "I understand to being overeager, but you have to remember, we do ask that you keep your powers secret here. You are a very special girl, Natali, and I don't want to see anything happening to you. Which student did you flub up with? Someone you know?" She asked.

She hugged Samantha, who assumed that Natali wanted to feel some type of warmth. But she didn't get too clingy, and let go quickly as she folded her arms behind her back. "His name's.. Jamie. I forgot his last name. He sounds like an Irishman, and he called me a Soviet!" She bit her lip, "I-I over-reacted and.. I think we may have had a falling out. Now people look at me funny, and not as many sit by me at lunch.. I just... I had a reason."

"Aww sweetie, it's just the first day. I'm sure it will die down soon. However, I'll go talk to Jamie's counselor and see if we can get this figured out. Also, I'm pretty sure he's a year above you, so your own classmates will still want to talk to you. I know you'll bounce back from this, like you always do. You don't call yourself Valkyrie for nothing," Samantha said with a warm smile. She did make a mental note to talk to Miss Standiford. Jamie was not a personal student of Samantha's, since he was in none of her classes, but Sam would try to get this fixed. Natali was not the first student to flub up for sure, and she wouldn't be the last. However, there were rules.

"I know, I know.." She seemed to light up a little at the teacher's words. "But, Mrs. Wellington, I felt something. I did! I wouldn't lie about that, you know. I was sure in my mind that.. He.. He had powers like me. I don't know why I didn't ask you, I didn't cross my mind." She sniffled, wiping her eyes. "I'm sorry."


"It is alright. I know you wouldn't lie, however, if he says he doesn't have any powers or abilities, then he might not," Samantha said. Due to how the school worked, she did have to lie here. She felt terrible about it, but, again, there were rules. "You don't have to be sorry to me. As I said, I'll see about getting this fixed. Misunderstandings do happen."

Natali smirked and quickly hugged the Teacher again, kissing her cheek as a sign of affection as she clapped her hands quickly thereafter. "Thank you, Misses Wellington!" She started immediately unfolding all the chairs thereafter, and setting them up. "Sorry I didn't sign up for Choir this year, I wanted to be a Ballerina..." She said longingly, cheekily smiling.


"You're welcome. I understand. I wish I could still dance, but you know that this old lady can't keep up with you," she said with a grin. Once they finished setting up the chairs, she thanked Natali for her help. "Looks like I'll see you Tuesday, unless you need anything tomorrow."

She thought for a moment, seeming to nibble her cheek, before blinking. "Oh! Yeah, do you think it would be okay if I ate lunch in here with you, by your office?" She scratched the back of her leg with one foot nervously. "I'll get a form, or a pass, or something if I need it."

Samantha paused in thought for a moment. "If it really is that bad even after I talk to Miss Standiford, I can see about getting you a pass to have lunch with me. However I will have to run it by the Headmistress." And with that, Natali thanked the teacher, and hoped to see her soon again as she walked out of the door to her dorm.

Samantha let out a long sigh as Natali left, and gathered up her bag and went to find Miss Standiford.
