Cass: *sits in her first period English class, staring at the window* *sighs

Blake: *sits in the back for the 16th time this month in 1st period* *looks down at his book waiting for the teacher*

Cass:^ That kid in the back… again, his feeling is intense… I have never encountered that before…^*worriedly writes in the journal she keeps with her at all times*

Blake:*looks up looking around*^who is that?^

Cass: ^I’ll try to talk to him after class^…*quietly taps her fingers, their bitten tips just making a small sound*

Blake:^ I wish school would end^ *lays head on the desk reading the words on the page of his book eyes burning*

Cass:^ his emotions changed a bit… Can you hear me? Why are you so tired? ^

Blake:^Yeah, who are you?^

Cass: ^the girl in front of you… Are you alright?^ *moves her hand in a small gesture that can be considered a wave, not looking at him

Blake: *taps her shoulder* ^um, yeah, just fine.^*sits back*

Cass: *slightly winces when he taps her* ^I’m an empath… I can tell how you feel, don’t lie please…^

Blake:^not lying, its true^

Cass: ^Fine, whatever… just, if you ever need to talk to someone while you are up, I work the nightshift at Zen Cafe^

Blake:^i know, and I doubt you’ll hear from me, I'm good on my own^

Cass: *sighs* ^I thought you might say that… hey do you think we could hang out?^

Blake:^ hmm….you’d be wasting time, just saying^*closed eyes*

Cass:^ I’ve got time to spare…^*looks back at him, something not quite a smile on her face*

Blake:*sighs*^fine whatever, where?^

Cass: ^wherever you want, I just want to be-- um… away.^

Blake: *opens eyes* ^one thing whats your name^*sits up*
