Storm had just gotten angrier with Zane's second statement. The air dropped sharply, going below freezing as easily as turning down a thermostat. The ground around her feet was turning icy as she finally lost her temper, dark storm clouds forming in the sky. "How about you take me on?" She asked, her voice colder then the freezing air. It was roughly ten degrees outside now, making it obvious Storm was doing something.

All three of the students stared at Storm, the two idiots too stupid to realize the weather was caused by her. Jack and Charlie both started freaking out and ran inside the building, leaving Zoe with Storm. She put both hands on Storm's shoulders, looking her straight in the eyes. "Storm, snap out of it. They are gone, it's okay now." She said, trying to calm down Storm and hopefully figuring this out after she was calm.

The ice spread a bit on the ground before the two idiots left, causing them both to slip before retreating inside. A large circle of ice had formed under Storm and Zane, her temper still hot. She sighed, a cloud of mist forming in the cold air. She relaxed a bit, the air rising a bit. She slumped to the ground, covering her face with her hands. "I did it again." She moaned, admitting that this had happened before.

Zoe was shocked by all of this, she was quickly by Storm's side, trying to help her as best as she could. "It's alright. Just calm down, should we get inside?" She asked, concerned about the new girl. She gently rubbed Storm's arm, in a more smoothing way to calm down.

Storm let Zane help her up, leaning on him. "N-no. I can't go inside like this." She moaned, clearly upset now. "Lets just go get to the tree you were talking about." She said, anxious to get away from the doors.

Zoe nodded, still concerned over this. She gently grabbed Storm's wrist and led her to the tree not too far form them. "Here it is, are you okay?" She said, still worried about Storm.

Storm let Zane lead her away from the doors and to the tree not too far away. She took hold of one of the lower branches and swung into the tree, her back against the trunk. "Yeah, I'm fine now." She said truthfully, rubbing the scars on her wrists.

Zoe climbed up as well, she found a sturdy branch and tucked in her t-shirt and hung upside down form the branch, bending her knees to keep her form falling. "That's good. But what just happened?" Seeing as only three people saw that and only one of them could figure out what had caused the ice storm, Zoe had the right to know now.

Storm brought her knees up to her chest, her body balanced on the branch, and hugged them. "I can control ice." She said bluntly, not bothering to tell him to prepare himself. "I've been able to since I was little, that's why my parents died. I brought that blizzard, the same one they died in." She explained.

Zoe was a bit surprised but she was getting use to the supernatural world. "You can't blame yourself for that, Storm. You can't seem to control them, I can tell, even now you can't. If you keep blaming yourself, it will only become harder to control them." She was still finding it shocking how different they really were. Zoe didn't care about her parents, Storm did. Zoe's parents were alive, Storm's weren't.

Storm nodded, tucking her shirt in as well and hanging most of her body off the branch. "I just can't help it. Every time someone makes me feel an extreme emotion, it happens. That's why I'm here now, no other school wants me. I've been kicked out of 23 schools in eight years." She said, rambling on nervously.

"Then just ignore them. The key is to ignore them or prove your worth. Most of the kids here learned to stop trying to fight me because I have beaten ever kid in this school. If you can show that you aren't someone to mess with, without showing your powers. Like I have done, if someone challenges you, don't ignore them or brush it off, take them head on." She said, wondering for a moment if Storm caught on the fact that she wasn't human either.

Storm nodded, catching on with the face that she wasn't human either. "Thanks for the advice." She said, feeling much better now. The air around them had gone back to it's normal temperature, a little bit too warm for long sleeves. Storm looked back over at the doors before rolling her sleeves up, her scars dark against her pale skin. "So, what do we do now?"

Zoe shrugged. "Doesn't matter, really. Those boneheads couldn't figure out that it was you who caused the storm so we don't need to worry about them going around spreading rumors." She said with a shrug. She was glad to see that Storm was alright now.

"Ok." She replied simply, glad that Zane had comforted her of his own free will. "So...." She said, trying to prevent a awkward silence but failing miserably.

"You got any questions for me? Seeing as I can't think of anything to say and by the look on your face, neither can you." Zoe was being blunt.

"Yeah, are you really a girl?" She asked, knowing the answer before he told her. She had seen the saw he walked, talked, and introduced himself. If he really was in a gang, he wouldn't have shaken hands with her when she first met him. He would have fist-bumped her instead. He also has a slight feminine walk, hardly noticeable unless you were watching.

Zoe grinned at that question. "Yes. Zane is a cover nae, my given name is Zoe." She said with a shrug. That was the quickest anyone has figured out about her. She was in a gang, but she had been out of it for the past year so she made mistakes here and there now.

"I could tell. Your walk is slightly feminine, and so is your talk. Also, guys don't shake hands. They fist bump." She explained with a smile. "Hopefully you can improve them." She added, swinging back up on the branch.

Zoe shrugged. "The walk seems to be the first thing everyone noticed. Also, you are a girl and ever guy I have seen talk to my sisters would shake hands with them when they introduced themselves. Don't you dare tell the guys here I am a girl, they'll use it against me." She said with a sigh.
