For any and every student that has pyrokinesis. I know everyone loves Professor Melanie Smith. Please, do come in. Prepare for a very dangerous class.... It is a large cylindrical room, its walls reaching up about 100 feet before meeting the ceiling. There are tapestries which hang from the windows, charmed fireproof by a series of complex magic. The windows themselves are made from a rare substance, impervious to flames, molded not from heat but from another force of energy.
The center of the room is clear, and when the students enter they may either choose from the limited seating which surrounds a quarter of the room, or take their place standing. Those who stand are usually favored throughout the class.
Let the games begin...

Professor Smith entered her classroom, consulting her notes for the class over the duration of only a brief moment. Her eyes scanned the empty room. Everything seemed to be in order. She finally stood with her back to the stone, crossing her arms as she waited silently for the students.
Adrienne entered the classroom, probably on time for the first time in her life. She acknowledged Smith with a nod of her head and received a curt one in recognition. She took a place standing in front of her, her hands clasped together, and she stood looking down at them as she twiddled her thumbs. She would allow poofs of flames to erupt every few moments to amuse herself.

Brann entered the class and looked at the professor. "Seriously Smithy... I don't know why you keep bringing me to class, day in and day out... I'm never going to be able to control it, the earlier you realize this the better life will be."[/b]

Melanie arched an eyebrow. "Well maybe if you gave more than a half assed attempt it wouldn't be so," she remarked, her tone somewhat detached.
Theo walked into the room, his arms crossed over his chest. Class with his most favorite people in the world. Wonderful. Amazing.

Tem walked in and smiled at Theo. She stood in a corner, fairly close to Brann Gnister, without knowing who or what he was.
Brann rolled his eyes. He turned around and saw Tem. She seemed a pretty blonde, somewhat prettier that Porcelain... which wasn't usually the case. Pointing at Melanie he whispered, "She puts the ass is massive."
Tem raised and eyebrow and moved away, moving closer to Theo.
"And you must have put the itch in bitch..." Brann said after her.[/b]

Skylar walked into the room nervously staring at everyone who had all these skills. He couldn't even control the fire he could make. He was so nervous that his stomach hurt. His scars looked really bad because of how pale his skin was at the moment.
He looked down at his hands they were full of scars but no fire that he could see. How was he supposed to last in this class if he had no idea how to even make the fire appear when he wanted it too.

Theo smiled at Tem, choosing to completely ignore Brann's presence. "You alright?" he muttered to her under his breath, his tone casual.
Melanie watched as a new face entered the room, her acknowledgment going only as far as a nod of her head. It was an odd number, she noted in her her head. Partners would not work, at least not today. "How many of you have practiced over the summer?"
Adrienne looked sheepish. She could not even name the last time she used them. End of term last year? It was forever, or so it seemed.
"Adrienne?"
"No."
Melanie looked surprised to say the least. "Anyone?" she inquired, still somewhat in awe over the fact that Adrienne hadn't set anyone on fire. She barely seemed like the same student anymore.

Skylar looked up at the professor nervously as she asked if anyone had used their powers over the summer. He had actually just found out that he could even do anything with fire. He didn't want to say that because he was sure all these students knew exactly what they were doing but he did have a problem with being brutally honest.
"Um Professor... I actually just found out that I can use fire. But I uh don't know how to work it." He said looking at his hands and trying to think of fire hoping it would burn in his hands again.
Nothing happened. He was extremely nervous.

Adrienne's eyes glittered demoniacally as her old self began to spark and come back. She snickered as she held her hand in front of her, palm up, flames dancing just above. "Can we use the newbie for, uh, target practice?" she asked, her face innocent and her voice a mock of sweetness.
Professor Smith rolled her eyes, same old Adrienne Alste. They narrowed in the girl's direction, almost as if on cue. "That's enough," she snapped. She then turned to the other student, her tone softening only infinitesimally so. "Well, that's why you're here. To learn how to use them...how much do you know?"

Skylar looked at Adrienne nervously his eyes on the fire dancing in her hand. He had no idea how she was doing that. His face began to turn from its original pale complection to a bright red. He could feel the heat radiating inside of him.
He looked up at the professor wishing that no one was in the room he was so embarassed.
"Well professor to be honest. I don't even know how to get the fire to appear when I want it to." He said looking down at the ground.
"I only did it once." He said putting his hands in pockets. "And I dont know how I did it."

Theo smiled at Tem, choosing to completely ignore Brann's presence. "You alright?" he muttered to her under his breath, his tone casual.
Tem lifted her other hand and concentrated hard on it. After a few moments her fingers lit up and a very small flame appeared at her fingertips. She kept in deep concetration, wanting the flame to grow, but it wasn't. |

Theo squeezed her hand in response, but his gaze was fixed in a very cold one on Brann. He looked away after a moment, switching his attention to the professor.
She raised an eyebrow at Skylar, not in complete surprise. It was not unusual for powers to take a while to come in fully. "Well, we'll see how it goes today." Melanie looked over at Tem, seeing her concentration. "Put more energy in it," she suggested, "And focus..."
Adrienne rolled her eyes at Skylar's words, and then at Tem's weak attempt. This was going to be a long lesson. A very, very long one.

Theo stood in front of Tem defensively. Though he was smirking, there was no humor behind it and his gaze at the other was cold. "Want to keep it up, bloodsucker?" he asked tauntingly, but this time his words were different. They weren't quite so uncaring because it wasn't just his own life that was at stake or placed in a dangerous position. It was a life he actually cared for.
"Enough!" Melanie shouted, wheeling on Brann, her eyes alight with anger, and her mouth turned down with disdain. "Congratulations on mastering the art of throwing a fire ball. It must be such an achievement for you. Someone with as little self control as you possess, whose skill is questionable, and whose self discipline is astoundingly lax should not even be making offensive attacks. Much less to a new peer of yours who has no previous experience but is already showing more hope than you." She then turned to Theo, and though she was much calmer, she still looked rather livid. "Mr. Runner, I resent your comment, but under the circumstances I will let it slide. Next time I hear something like that out of your mouth you will not be so lucky."

"Theo, it's alright. I'm fine." She placed her hands around his waist and rested her head on his shoulders. "I'm fine," she continued to reassure him. |

Melanie's eyes narrowed as he did not argue with her. It was surprising, but it made her trust him even less. "If that were so, I suppose I should not ask for explanation as to why your comment was focused at her, but the fireball at Mr. Runner? Or why your aim is so poor? Not even lack of control can amount to that." Her tone suggested that the conversation was finished as she pulled out her wand and summoned a set of chairs and desks forth. "Everyone take a seat. Now."
Theo laughed coldly. "Well in that case, nice aim....but if you were to accidentally hit- or nearly hit- her again, we would have a problem."
Adrienne took a seat, her choice being the farthest from the group, the closest to the door, and on the end. It was perfect.

Theo scoffed at Brann. "Hardly. Seeing girls as property is more of your territory, isn't it?" he started, still not completely understanding why, exactly, Brann seemed to suddenly despise him, but not really caring either. If anything happened to Tem he was going to personally murder Brann and Porcelain both. He smirked and put his arm around Tem's shoulder. "I can't say I'm not flattered, but I'd put the knife away before Smith has a brain hemorrhage," he murmured, turning his head so he was closer to her ear.
"Weapons away!" Professor Smith snapped sharply. "This is not weapons class. For the rest of the period you're taking your books out. I can't say it was what I had planned, but it's evident that you're too immature to handle anything else."
Adrienne mimicked Smith under her breath, rolling her eyes and making little hand gestures as she did so. She groaned as she pulled out her book and her notebook, then all but buried herself in it.

Skylar looked at the professor nervously. He took out his book and opened it, he wasnt sure what to do. He could not control the fire he could produce now and books probably wouldn't help him right now anyway. But anything was better than be tormented by other students.
