Mark heard as the whole class started piling out of the room. He new the board would be frustrated at most teachers who took class time to play basketball, but it's not like he was going to say anything. He had more important concerns anyway. He waited for the first kid he'd been following to leave. He tailed that guy from behind for a while and watched as he stopped to help the other, crazy looking guy.
He took to the sides of the halls, letting his bike gain down hill motion where it could. Finally the moved away from view of the office, and Mark realized he had his chance. 'He's cutting school?' he though. Pedaling in slowly he kept his head down but his eyes straight. When he was close enough he figured he should say something. "So what to they got you up to now?" His voice was loud, stern, and reinforced with the slight fear he tried pushing at the kid's mind.

Marcus knew he would be stopped, and he had planned appropriately. What he did not see coming however, was the fear he felt inside when he heard the pedaling of the bike and the supervisors voice.
He stammered, "uh, they uh, got me going to get lunch for the staff, you want anything?" he pulled out a hastily pre-prepared list of food, from a local hamburger chain.
He didn't know why he felt fear, he had outsmarted numerous authority figures before, yet for some reason he wasn't aware of, he was slightly afraid of getting caught by this man.

Mark didn't care about the power he could have over most of these kids. He pushed this sense on them so he wouldn't have to take the time for them to bug him. When he pushed this little bit of intimidation on them, it would get harder for them to think. Yeah sure, there were some who could probably out smart him pretty easy, but when they panicked they wouldn't know what to say. He snorted with laughter at the kid's explanation. "It's kind of early for lunch huh? You think that place is even open?" He didn't change his facial expression, but allowed for a moment to seem like he was thinking about it, then he said. "Ya know, on second thought, maybe you can get me sumtin... what should I get though? What's every one else getting?" With that he extended his open palm to receive the letter and said "Lemme see what every one else's got..."

"everyones got their usuals, you know mr C has the uh, bacon cheeseburger,...here see"
Sure enough, the list was complete, with not only food for many teachers, but what they actually liked. He swallowed loudly, and tried to get a hold of himself. He looked inward, and saw the lines bound tightly between this man and himself. Who is this guy?how is he so connected with me? i just transfered here. He slowed down, concentrated and looked into his future.
He saw them conversing, talking over important matters. This guy seemed kind, at least on the surface. Perhaps he wants to talk to me about something, school related, or if its not school related, we could go elsewhere. He decided to wait for his response to the list, and to see if he would bring something up. He waited impatiently.

Mark kept his icy blue eyes on the kid as he handed over the list. He waited for a second, holding the paper at an angle for him look at, but with out even glancing down. He could feel the kid accessing his mind. He had no idea what the kid was doing or how he was doing it, but he could feel that accelerated bit of activity, if it only was there for a split second. With a sigh and with out even looking he twisted his palms together, folded his fingers in, and crumpled up the list. Standing up on the bike he bushed it into his butt pocket and then nodded his head. "Ok kid, you can cut the bullsh*t with me. Look I know you're new hear, I also know that you're kind of different. Not just that you're smart or what ever, but that you're different. Now what's your name?" Mark let off on the fear he was pushing, and allowed himself to appear as the normal person he was as he was speaking.

"why don't you join me for ice cream Mark? We can chat over some mint and chip, or cookies and cream if so prefer. I have the strangest feeling though you would enjoy rocky road the most. Come on, i'm going, with or without you, and they wont really miss you will they? Cause they wont even notice me gone." He looked to the road where his cab he had recently called had pulled up. "so, ice cream social?"

That was his favorite, well, back when he'd eat ice cream. He and his wife would compete playfully over which was better, Cherry Garcia or Rocky Road, they even dragged it on to when his kid starting eating ice cream. He remembered beaming when the little tyke had his first cone and struggled to gum down the nuts and marsh-mellows so he could eat rocky road like his dad... But Mark pushed those away too, and kept that steely glare on the kid. He looked away for only a minute, to call something in on the radio. "Hey uhh, Jum, I think I just saw some kids take off down the road. I'm guessing they're going to smoke pot or sumtin. I'm gunna go ahead and follow them on foot; see if I can't find out where they hang out. Gunna turn off the radio, so they wont hear me." With that he clicked off the walkie talkie and motioned for the kid in front of him. "Lead the way..."

He did and they got into the cab, and sped off towards town. Down the highway, along main street until they reached the Cafe Del Arbol, across the street from the Corington St. Bank.

Taylor Hayashi was already sinking jump shots by the time his students came to the basketball court. "Alright let's do this, no one has to play if they don't want," he said to them and then tossed the basketball to Damion, "Alright captains let's begin."

Shiloh set his back pack and tan coat onto the ground before strolling over to where the boys stood in a line along the basketball sideline. He stood beside John and thought about how weird it would be to play against him instead of with him. Shuffled his feet he looked at Damion and Jake waited for them to beginning the picking.
Evy took a moment to watch the boys line up before turning to Ky. Catching the new girl's eye, the younger girl motioned towards a small bench a few yards away with short nod with her head, "Come on."
Evy dropped her bag at her feet as she sat down. She quickly bent over, pulled out her paper art and continued the folding. I gotta get this one down.... She bit her lip in concentration as she tried to make clean creases over her knees.

Jake was a little flustered that Damien pulled this stunt. They had always been on the same teams through out there entire sports carrers. And now that there being not only separated but on opposite teams he was actually nervous. When they did play he always knew tha there were two guys that always did fairly well against them. He just never paid attention to who was better. "uhh i pick josh" Jake shouted with a nod of approval
Damion was about to pick his first team member with his cell phone began to vibrate in his pocket. Seeing it was his fathers company number he sighed "Mr. H, I'm sorry I gotta go, there is a problem out my fathers software company and I'm need there ASAP." with those words he slid his phone back into his pocket and began to head for the parking lot. He then turned back realizing there was no second team captain "Hey terry, your my replacement!" he laughed a little as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his keys
