First Day of School
The first day of school has been stressful for Avalon. Very stressful. The only bright part of the whole day was when he found out that he was placed in the same grade as Henry, though that didn't really mean a lot. It wasn't like they had any classes together.

Avalon had been horrified when he found out that Josh and Katima wasn't going to share any classes with him, but soon enough he had to get over it and try to get along on his own. Being empathic also didn't seem to help at all, and by the end of the day, Avalon is worn out and sore from having to block himself for the majority of the hours he has been at school.

Luckily though, the day is finally done, and Avalon is standing outside where they all agreed to meet, his back against a tree as he idly itched his back. His wings are aching, and he can't wait to get them free and stretch completely, but he knows now is not the time. So, he waits, and tries to not be too troubled by his day at school. It was horrible, and his English caused him to have quite a few misunderstandings. And then there are these boys who made fun of him, calling him names that he didn't even really understand - though they are easily ignored.

He's been worried about Katima and Josh the most though, and so he watches for either of the teens to emerge from the building, his heart in his throat.

Josh's day was stressful as well. Being around so many new people, many with injuries and sicknesses he really wished he could heal but didn't was bad enough. But getting made fun of by a few older guys and having no classes with Henry, Ava, or Katima was worse. Sure he could sense them the whole day but it didn't stop him from worrying. And then there was the fight that wasn't really a fight because Josh a) never threw a punch and b) never got hit that ended with him taking the aggressor to the school nurse after he ended up hurting his hand punching a locker.

Now that the day was done, he couldn't get out the door fast enough. Backpack over one shoulder, Josh weaves through the crowd on his way to the agreed meeting spot. Sensing he won't be the first one there makes him speed up.

"Ava!" he calls as he sees the Lantern, rushing over.

"Hey Josh!" calls Ava back. He and Josh had a discussion in the morning, and the two had agreed then to try to not be too affectionate in public. In all actuality, Avalon was the one to bring it up, spurred by his empathy and Josh's mounting anxiety.

But, just because they were "best friends" doesn't stop him from grinning like an idiot. He waits for Josh to get up to him, and he slings an arm around the taller boy's shoulders in a loose hug. Of course, Avalon has a much more subtle way of greeting Josh that others would never know of, and he is sure to let himself feel the full rush through his body that contract brings.

Pulling back some, he leans back against the tree and offers Josh a wide smile as he says "So, how'd it go?"

Josh returns the loose hug, clinging just a little longer than expected.

"I'm just glad it's over...for the day," he sighs. "How about your day?"

Avalon smiles a bit and then shrugs his shoulders. "Kids are rough." he then says softly. "They said things I don't really understand, and I think that the fact I don't understand bothers me more than the fact that they said that stuff."

He then brightens, and says "Oh but Josh! I got into dance and it's brilliant! I can't wait to go back tomorrow.. I can't get enough."

Josh offers a concerned frown. "What did they say?" he asks. The healer's got an idea but he doesn't like it.

"Dance?"

Avalon just waves a hand some, "Something about being gay, but it didn't make sense because I know I'm happy so I don't understand what was so funny."

He then shrugs again and latches onto the much happier subject of dance. "Yes! Dance.. I never really thought I was that good at it till the teacher saw me and had me go through a few things. She said that I'm a bit rusty but she can work with that. Ballet is so graceful though, I've been watching videos on the internet and practicing.." he flushes a bit, "Well, I was, before you moved in."

Josh sighs a moment. "I...we can explain that when we get home," he says.

The healer can't help but smile as Avalon gets all happy and excited. "So you're a dancer? I'd love to see what you can do sometime," he says.

"Well.. I wasn't really, at least not until I came to Earth." replies Avalon with another flush. "My wings made it hard to dance, and so now that Henry helps me out.."

He's so happy he might bubble over from it all. "I'll be happy to show you sometime.." he then murmurs softly, his voice turning a touch darker.

Josh grins and gives Ava's hair a little ruffle. "Awesome, Ava," he says. "I'm no good at dancing though. Be great to see someone who is in action."

Oh, now that makes Avalon laugh, and he can't help but grin at Josh through the mop of his blond hair. "You're a lot better at things than I'm sure you let yourself be." he then murmur softly.

Grinning at Josh some, he then starts to try and smooth his hair down, his eyes on the other boy's face as he says "But, none the less.. I will be happy. I don't mind dancing for you anytime."

Henry approaches, laughing with a couple girls. Seeing the others, he says something to them, and they laugh, and he heads towards Josh and Avalon. "Hey, guys!"

Josh blushes and glances away. He frowns a moment, stretching his senses out to try to find Katima and Henry and then turns to Ava again. "I dunno..." he trails off.

"Maybe when we finish our homework you could dance a bit in the backyard," he suggests. He turns as he senses Henry before hearing him. "Hey, Henry!" he greets with a grin.

"Oh stop being so hard on yourself." Avalon says to Josh, before he then looks up upon hearing Henry's voice.

"Henry!" he calls out, before then offering the other boy a big smile as he waits for him to join them. "How was class for you?" he then asks, before his eyes turn to the girls who were retreating from them and smirks a bit. "Hopefully entertaining.."

"Not bad," he notes. "Not bad." He leans in towards Josh and Avalon. "And... they shouldn't bother you any more, guys. I... uh... had a talk with a couple of the jerks."

Josh watches the girls for a moment and then turns his attention back to Henry. "You...you did?" he asks nervously. "Is that guy from the football team okay then? I mean he broke two fingers and I really wanted to heal him but secret ID and..." he's nervous again. There's a pause and the healer's eyes lock on Henry's hands. "Henry...what did you do to your hands?" he asks and gives the Lantern the 'I am healing you when we get in private' look.

Avalon raises a brow then, silently watching Josh and Henry's interaction. He then starts to smirk all the more, his tone rather amused as he said "Did you hit them, Henry?"

This all just makes Avalon blush a bit, and he smiles rather shyly as he looks down at his toes and says "I guess it was more of an insult than I realized. Sometimes I'm glad that I still have issues with my translator."

"Josh or I can explain later," Henry shrugs. "It's kinda a dumb insult, really." He looks to Josh. "I... bumped them into a lesson."

Katima was the last to show up, backpack on her back, hands shoved in the pockets of her skirt, shoulders slumped and a distinctly "I am not happy" expression on her face. She barely even looked at the boys before kicking one of the trees.

"So apparently my skirt's too short and I'm a whore."

"Okay Henry, I'll take your word for it." he says to the dark headed boy, before his attention turns to Katima.

"Wait, what?" asks Avalon as he pushes off the tree and loops an arm around Katima's shoulders. "Who said that to you?" he then asks, his proverbial feathers quite ruffled. He's protective of Katima, and doesn't like the idea of her so upset.

Josh frowns a little but sighs. "Thank you, Henry," he says, reaching for Henry's hand to examine the bruising. "But you didn't have to do that. What if you got hurt, or into trouble?"

He glances up as he senses Katima and offers a concerned expression. He keeps quiet to let Ava handle the talking though.

Henry sighs. "The bullies aren't allowed to start crap around here," he tells them. "They know better than to try anything where I can see it, anyway. They can't hurt me anyway, and I'm smart enough to avoid doing it where I can be seen."

He looks to Katima. "Which guys said that to you?"

"Girls, Henry. Girls. I was notified that my skirt is too short, that the fact that I live with three guys I am not related to is odd and the only logical determination given how I look is that I must be either a slut or a whore. Especially since I live with Henry Jordan."

She sighs.

"Can I drop out?"

Raising a brow, Avalon affixes a rather displeased expression on his face and then gives Katima a great big hug.

"They're just jealous Katima, you know this." he then says softly. "Besides, don't let them get you down; then you are letting them win. All they want to do is upset you, right? Don't give them that pleasure."

Josh smiles at Henry and puts an arm around his shoulders. He starts to put a subtle little amount of healing power in, patching up the bruises and enjoying the contact.

The healer then frowns a little. "Yeah, Katima...they're just being jealous. "Your skirt looks fine to me."

"Seriously," he agrees. "Which girls? Odds are good that they probably want to live with me like you do..."

He doesn't say what he's thinking -- that they are being hypocritical, because he may have already slept with some of them.
