Good afternoon, I'll be your transfer student for today

[xp_wallflower]

Does anyone ever write a good first introduction? There's always that whole 'God, what am I going to say?' moment of awkwardness, isn't there?

Do I put 'Hi, my name's Lauren.' or 'Hey, this is Laurie and I'll be your new transfer student for today'? That last sounds like I should be saying something along the lines of 'Do you want fries with that?' though. Which is funny, because I was only talking to my friend Helen last month about how I couldn't decide if I wanted to get a part time job at McDonald's or not.

I can still do that, right? Because, much as retail is not exactly my 'career choice of a lifetime', it does give me money for things. (Clothing, a car when I get my driver's license. Okay, maybe not a car but one can dream.) And it beat wearing a chicken suit and standing outside a department store selling their 'crazy prices'. On the minus side, my hair will smell like fries at the end of the day.

So, as you may have realized by now, being psychic (It's funny because it's true! At least of some of you, anyhow.) my name is Laurie. Okay, it's really Lauren but only my Mum calls me that, and only when she's truly peeved at me. (Breaking the best china vase playing tag with the dog levels of peeved.) I'm a transfer student from the local high school (Go Salem Center Rams!) Wow, that sounded special. Truly, I do not win at Cheerleading. Always knew there was a reason I picked cross country running instead.

I assume at this point, it's probably a good point to tell you what my mutant power is. I do this thing with pheromones, don't really understand it much myself right now, something to do with how I smell, affecting people physically. Um, people who know about this kind of thing and are good with the explaining of such, help?

Anyway, that's me. I guess I'll see you all in class at some stage, or around.

*grins* You seem to have a reputation here. I'm now wondering what you did to deserve it.

Moi? Nothing whatsoever. I am the very soul of innocence. I mean, it's been three whole months since last I assaulted a member of the staff.

*blinks* You...assaulted a staff member? Deliberately? I don't know if I'd want to associate with someone who'd attack a staff member. I'm sorry but that's just a really low thing to do.

Oi, it's not as if I do it for fun. Dayspring attacked me with his brain first. When your mutant ability is centered around instinctive reactivity your options for response are somewhat limited. And I was most certainly not the only tearing up that office.

Dude, you're digging yourself deeper.

Let's just say he needs to eat or he gets cranky. And he's been good about it.

You have nothing to worry about. Until he asks you out of course....

Oh, ta for taking all the surprise out of the relationship . . .

...

That'd be one hell of a surprise. And there's absolutely nothing I can do with the word eat that won't sound bad. So I believe I'm just not going there.

*ponders* Dayspring? Which teacher is that?

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

It wasn't really his fault. Powers interaction thing, didn't go so well.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Thank you. See? Ange would know, being as he's the one who had to pop me one to put an end to it. It was a bad scene. Quite.

Well, I guess I'll accept you as mostly harmless then. *grins* Do I get to see the little mouths? Rahne mentioned them somewhere in this entry and now I'll all sorts of curious. (So many comments, it's getting hard to keep it all straight.)

The comments are indeed fearsome. Be honored; I personally hit the 103 mark my first post here, and it looks as if you're about to match it.

You can see the biteybits if you like, although that's usually a second date affair. Then again, Jennie's already ruined the surprise, so I suppose it can do no harm.

Woot! 103 with this comment. You all love me, you do, you do! *grins* Got some time off today? I'm meant to be familiarizing myself with the school before they throw me into classes. You can show me how to work that huge home entertainment system taking up the main lounge.

Now that I can understand.
