(matt) the no good terrible day

[MINNIE CELESTE O'HARA]

With shaky hands she gripped the pencil tighter willing her reflexes to hold it steady. Wincing she gritted her teeth and waited for the lapse to pass, she breathed deeply counting to ten in her head just like her mother had advised her to. She opened her eyes and smiled softly as her slender fingers curled around the pen again, her weakness had passed and Minnie was only glad it was temporary spasm, there had been times when she’d thought her limbs would never stop shaking and she’d slip away mid fit. She banished the dark thoughts and frowned at the mess she’d made on the page, lovely that was one page ruined. Minnie sighed and looked back at the text book re-scribbling in quick hand the pre highlighted information pouting her lips in concentration.

For an autumn day the weather was rather welcoming, cool yet tolerable and the wind was down. By all accounts she should have been in the library but it was far too crowded and she couldn’t concentrate when there wasn’t a perfect silence which noisy first years hardly provided as they chased down the books they needed for class. If she wasn’t so fond of children she’d have probably decked one of them by now – though her patience was beginning to wane…
Sighing she turned to the next chapter loosing herself in the new chapter. of course she wouldn't have been in such a grumpy mood if it hadn't been for the stupid gangly Vila boy bumping into her and sending her books flying as he and one of his miscreant friends charged down the corridor or if the library had actually bothered to get in that book she'd ordered - and really needed for class - or if  her stupid body wouldn't stop going into dumb spasms on her! it hadn't been the best morning.

Matthias woke up early that morning, stretching and yawning as he blinked the drowsiness away, the sun still under the horizon. The fresh fall crisp air flooded into his senses, as he had left he window wide open that night. He was fully awake before he had made his way to the shower, luckily for him he had learned from his first day and was careful to not blast the warm water and had more on the cold side.

Washing up and drying off he looked out his window to see the trees and grass, his sight showing him how the moisture in the earth and surrounding areas were beginning to freeze making them seem as if they were bright blue veins through out the area like liquid stars. Putting on his clothes consisting of a pair of semi-faded jeans from usage, a simple t-shirt, and a wool flannel with rolled sleeves up right above the elbow,as well as his lucky belt with an old belt buckle he had gotten from the past generations of his family.

AS he finished getting read to start the day, the sun had yet to show so he took advantage of it. He left his dorm and made sure the Jake was still doing fine while he was staying at the girls dorm and had enough mnt dew to last him, afterwards he left the school ground and headed into the forest nearby to start his old training routine he hadn't done in a while.

He started by just going a few miles of free-running through the denser forest area, running/weaving through the trees, running up them partly before launching himself towards another tree. His hear pumped as he was getting back into the routine of running around and launching, it soon got to a point where some trees were bending a bit from the force of his launching.

Taking a small brake from that he decided to train his power over crystal, which he has had a bit of difficulty to do so as it was much more compact and developed more than common stone. Walking around he found a good spot that had a few chunks of quarts sticking up out of the ground. Kneeling down, closing his eyes he summoned as much will power and concentration he could muster as he made the crystals rise from the ground. The crystals rose to about four feet above the earth, not completely satisfied with what he had currently he put a bit more effort into it as he reached out to deeper within the earth as he pulled crystals out of the ground, they wernt all that big but the added power had them shooting out of the ground at a higher than anticipated speed. Not having enough reaction time one of the crystals wized past his head clipping it barely but enough to cause a slight gash on his cheek. Flinching he lost his concentration and the crystals fell to the earth,"Dang it" he growled in a whispered tone.

He decided that was enough for today, the sun had come up fully by time he had reached the school grounds. The weather had warmed a bit and there was a faint wind going about and he saw a girl reading a book. The cut on his cheek was still there but he had froze the wound to keep the blood from flowing. He tilted his head as he tried to read the book. "hello ma'am but may i ask what you are reading right there?" he asked in a very polite southern tone with a mix of curiosity, his eyes were fairly normal today not a real tell that he was blind really.

The numbing pain of a head ache began to form, as it always did once her muscles spasmed. Frowning to herself she groaned and massaged her temple, as worry began to seep into her thoughts. She’d taken her medication this morning, so why were her muscles having attacks? She chewed at the top of her pen, was she finally getting worse? She knew her statistics and she knew how long she’d been predicted the doctor hadn’t been sweet with his words though Minnie had been glad for that. She’d have hated it if he’d sugar coated it, or lied to her, treating her like a child wouldn’t make her better, she simply had to suck it up and get on with it.

A voice broke her from her thoughts, blinking up she paused as she considered the boy in front of her, she grimaced at the weirdly frost bitten cut on his cheeks cringing at the site of the congealed frozen wound. She paled and felt a weird dizzy feeling swirl around her head.
“Y-your face,” she said her tone light as she drew her gaze away “you alright there?” she asked swallowing thickly, god she hated the site of blood.
“It’s a text book,” she said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, “and I’m studying, what are you doing out here?” asked Minnie.

"oh yeah, it's nothing. I was training over in the forest and got a bit ambitious on what I was doing, but its nothing to worry about." he said in a calm kinda sweet southern tone as he trailed his fingertips along the ice. The ice began to evaporate and the wound was nearly perfectly healed.

"I was curious about the book because you seemed to be very into it and for me the pages and covers are kinda blank so I couldn't tell" he said scratching the back of his head with a faint blush of embarrassment.

"I'm Matthias by the way but my old friends called me Matt for short" he said as he offered to shake her hand in greeting.

(hey sorry it took so long and that this is short I'm on my cell x3)
