Kevin walked up to a tree, he put his hand to it. He pushed in on it and left an impression on the bark. "Okay, so I know I've been here." He was setting up a 'breadcrumb trail' in these unfamiliar woods. He turned away from the tree and came face to face with another hand impression. "Crap, now I'm really lost."

Erin walked softly humming her tune. Her headphones where on and her zune was all the way up, she couldn't hear a thing. She didn't notice Kevin at first but noticed a hand print on the tree. She studied it not turning off her music. "hmmm seems freash....I wonder who did it?" She questioned herself out loud still not knowing Kevin was there.

Kevin spun around to see a admiringly beautiful girl behind him. In her head rang lyrics and thoughts about trees with hand prints. He lifted one of the headphone sides off her ear. "Nice song." He said before putting it back on her head.

She screamed so loud it made birds fly and ground animals run, even those several yards away. She stopped screaming and turned to look at Kevin. She starred blankly for a moment and then reached in her pocket and turned down her zune. "Um....who are you?" she asked bluntly her music was still going loud enough for her to hear and also hear him.

Kevin ended up on the ground. He was still listening to her thoughts at the time she screamed. The internal scream and actual one overwhelmed him. He shook his head and stood up. "A very lost person." He said looking around, trying not to look directly at her.

She looked him up and down then back to the tree then at his hand. "Why are you leaving your hand print in the tree?" She asked the lyrics of Taylor Swifts "I'm only me when I'm with you." Still filling her head. She didn't really need to think about things to figure them out.

Kevin sighed, "I have no idea where I am, and I used these to make sure I wasn't in the same place, but I made a complete circle and I have no idea about how to get around, so do you know which way gets me to the academy?"

She cocked her head to the side, "There is a clearly marked trail thata way." She pointed in its direction without looking. The song changed abruptly to "Ever Ever After" by Carrie Underwood. She jumped at the song change. "My name is Erin." She said returning her head to normal. 'He's odd.' she thought.

"I know." Kevin chuckled. "And I'm gifted, not so much odd." He smirked as he looked the way she pointed. "My name is Kevin." He continued not to look directly at her, but small glances her way here and there. "Do you attend the school too?"

She blinked when she realized he heard her, and she knew she thought that. She turned the music up just a little louder letting the lyrics fill her head making it too loud for him to hear anything but the music she still heard him fine. She wasn't gifted or anything but caught on quickly. "Yes I attend the school." She said with a tone that sounded more like singing though she wasn't.

Kevin nodded. "Guess that means I will see you again." He tuned out, he wasn't in the mood for music. He whiped sweat off his face. "Man I hate this, you can't stay at normal body temperature without a migrane and then even nice weather is really hot. So what are your powers? Oh, wait, do you even have powers?"

"Yes I can, I do it all the time." She giggled under her breath. She placed her hand on her head. "Perfect. 98.6 degrees." She smiled and dropped her hand. She dropped her head phone too around her neck, the sudden quiet made her hearing dull blasting music still filled them though she had turned it off. "I don't have any powers. I'm just normal." She said it in a tone that didn't sound disappointed nor happy. It was just casual.

"Most people think I am too, that is until I touch them. Well and if they don't think I am THEN, well I'm at normal temperature or really really hot with a splitting headache." Kevin chuckled at his explanation, "Or until they see me put an indent easily into a wall. Which was it that you caught?"

"It didn't really register with with the tree. It was when you read my mind." She happen to say the only one he seemed to forget to mention. She looked a little peeved by him just feeling like he could just walk on in, though she didn't know if he could stop hearing thoughts, so she didn't get too mad. She didn't really understand his explanation of the temperature one but she didn't ask questions.

Kevin laughed under his breath. "Ya the temperature can be confusing." He shook his head. "Sorry, I can stop but sometimes I lose track of whether I am listening to voice or mind. But I'll know better when I'm around you, or at least I'll give it my most honest effort. But I am able to adjust my body temperature to be very hot." He placed two fingers on her arm, he was above even the temperature of a fever, his skin gained a red tint. "Or to be cold." The fingers resting on her became very icy to the touch. His skin became very pale, nearly white. "You see I can only go so far above this." His temperature gained another 15 degrees, and he wasn't snow white but still very pale. "If I stay above 56 degrees for too long I get a massive migrane, it sucks, because winter can be warm at times. Snow isn't too cold for me to tread around in a bathing suit for two days in."

Erin made a face when when he touched her. She let him demonstrate and then pulled away she wasn't a very touchy person. So... She thought, "How old are you?" She adapted well too the mind reading thing, stating half her sentence in her thoughts and then finishing the rest verbally. She didn't ask anything else about his powers, if he was really good at this he would have known she didn't ask before because she really didn't care to know. Well he's not the most...interesting person I've met. She couldn't stop herself from thinking it, she hoped he wasn't paying attention, she really was a nice person but other thoughts were there too. And why doesn't he even really look at me, just short glances. Hes very weird gifted or not.... She never thought of herself as really...pretty so nothing like that even crossed her mind as an explanation for his actions.

Kevin looked at her, but not directly in the eye. Almost at her forehead as if he was looking right over her. But he wanted to seem somone polite by at least looking in her direction. "Seventeen." He simply stated. "What about you?" He asked just as simply.

"I'm 16." She said happily, "My birthday is in March." She smiled trying to seem nice, it wasn't really an act she really was nice. She didn't catch that he was looking at her forehead she just thought he was finally acting normal....sorta.

He nodded. "My birthday was last month." He replied near as happy. Kevin whiped sweat from his head again. "Holy crap. Fine its better than sweating to death." Kevin's skin gained color, his body temperature rose to 98.6. He sighed, "The headache should come in a couple of minutes, do you wanna go some place cooler?"

"Um sure." She didn't really but she didn't want him to get a headache either. "Where could we go?" She asked. "Probably somewhere inside would be best." She suggested.

"How about the industrial sized freezers in the cafeteria," Kevin said with a laugh. "Unless thats too cold for you to handle." He challenged with a raised brow.

"Um.....maybe?" She said in a questioning sarcastic tone. She really didn't feel like freezing to death today, maybe next tuesday. She was starting to wish she brought her guitar. "Any where inside of for you?"

"Ya just as long as the air conditioning is good, if I go all the way up to 56 degrees, I should be fine." Kevin said. "Like if we turn the air down to 60."

"Ok then...." She thought for a moment, "How about the gym they usually keep that pretty cold." She suggested. "I'm sure that will be good."

Kevin nodded. "Okay lets go." Kevin began to walk. He stopped midstep. "Um to avoid the risk of getting more lost, why don't you lead the way then?"

Erin laughed a bit and then took the lead, "Its really not that hard to get out of here only when you get off trail." She walked moving branches out of her way. 'If I could have one power it would be to teleport I swear.' She thought and sighed quietly.

"I know right..." Kevin said as he stepped a few steps ahead of her and broke all the branches in their way. "Sorry," He said with a grimace. "Habbit."

Erin glared a little but it quickly went away, "Yeah yeah whatever." She watching him break the branches and kept walking. "The exit is close."
