[ RIP ANNA ]
Piper's eyes went wider, if that were even possible, gaze traveling down to Jack's hand where it rested around his waist. What the hell is haPPENING RIGHT NOW. He turned absolutely stiff, unsure of how to react as he was quite literally dragged along to the cafeteria. Jack's words made him feel indescribable fear, and the look on his face only made it worse. If the embarrassment he believed he was going to face wasn't bad enough, this was about to be a whole lot worse. Knowing that he couldn't pry himself free from Jack's grip with his one hand, he just stood beside Alessandra at the front of the cafeteria, staring down at the food like a broken doll. "Im really not hungry anymore..." he muttered.
Stile's hands traveled from Lilah's mouth to his own face, where he covered, trying not to die right where he stood. Of course she would take it that way, of course. "I don't want to serenade him, Lilah!" he hissed through his fingers, his top half drooping forwards like he was about to fall. Then, he immediately straightened up and dropped his hands from his face. "...What kind of music does he like?"
Wisteria was brooding. She sat inside one of the empty classrooms, sitting at the vacant teacher's desk, leaned back in the chair with her legs propped up on the desk. She found it easier to think in a room like this, with it's wide-open space and high-rise windows. What in the world was she going to do with that boy? Letting out a puff of a sigh, she frowned and plopped her head back against the chair, staring up at the ceiling and counting the tiles. Maybe brute force would be better?

Caspian noticed more people entering the cafeteria. He had been about to leave but seeing Jack, Piper and Alexandria made him reconsider that for a moment. He decided to wait in case something something happened. Cass would hate to miss out on a fight or something dramatic happening. Been a while since he had started up any new rumors.

(when you completely forget that Geoff exists haha whoops)
Jack grinned like a banshee, obviously enjoying Piper's discomfort far more than he should. "Oh, come on. You don't want a hot dog?" He pointed them out, raising an eyebrow, "I know I do." Reaching out, he picked one up with the little tongs and set it on the tray in front of Piper, then forcibly continued down the line. Already, his melancholy had disappeared into his very gleeful torture of the class leader, "How about some meatballs? Or a nice sub? Come on, there has to be something you're interested in." He tilted his head, giving him a long slow look, "You don't strike me as the taco sort." Digging his fingers harshly into Piper's side, he glanced back and forth between Piper and Alessandra, "Just tell me what you want and I'll give it to you"
Geoff strolled along, his trench coat fluttering dramatically as he strolled along the halls. He very nearly made some whooshing sounds with his mouth. He'd managed to make it off patrol in one piece and with all of his blood still inside his body, so he was feeling good. Granted, the drills sounded like a pain, but he had no intention of going. It wasn't like Fiona could actually enforce anything anyways, not with Gabriel's leash so tight. Nah, he was going to sleep in and enjoy his Sunday. Walking along the halls, he nearly breezed by the classroom, but stopped and backpedaled at the sight of Wisteria looking very mysterious as she sat at the desk in front of the room. Walking in, Geoff gave her a confused look, "Penny for your thoughts."

Lilah blinked, staring at Stile. "Wow. That wasn't even a full thirty seconds! Cool your beans!" She wrapped an arm around his shoulders and began to guide him towards the vending machines. After seeing Stile so moody all morning, she was glad for things to be settling back to normal. "Wish I could help you there, but I have no clue. I could ask him, if you want. Or... Hey, I bet Wisteria would know. That girl keeps tabs on everyone and everything."

[ im weeping ]
Piper looked absolutely mortified. He couldn't even bring himself to speak, much less properly react to the situation. At this point, death was starting to look like a very real solution to his current problems. Plus, it didn't look like his face could possibly get any redder. He glanced down at the tray, the hot dog, then to Jack, eyes squinted at him. Maybe he could ask for Alessandra to stab him in the neck and end his misery. "I-I don't want anything," he managed to force out, jaw clenched.
Wisteria turned to look over at Geoff as he entered, throwing her arm out dramatically. "How to kill someone. What do you propose? Any murdering experience?" she asked in a lighthearted tone, dropping her feet from the desk and sitting up, folding her hands in front of her and looking rather official, as if she could belong in the seat. "You might want that penny back, huh?"
Stile immediately shook his head. "No way, if I even mention it to her I wont hear the end of it either! She'd just use it as blackmail!" he insisted, starting to look panicked. That was a sleeping serpent he'd rather not poke, no matter how desperate he was starting to sound. "Look I just wanted to apologize to him, that's all. Forget that I even asked."

Alessandra Cusmano
For a long moment, Alessandra could only listen to the men's words. Looking at them, she held out her hand and gripped the plate of Chicken Alfredo that was handed to her. "Jack, let Piper be. Poor guy isnt hungry," she stated as she looked to the new comer. "He's probably not feeling well. We should let him decide as to when he should eat or not," she added as she walked forward, and used her other hand. It raised up, poking Jack on the nose.
"Pips works hard, and i think pressing on any matters of if he should eat or not isnt gonna help. He'll get food when he's ready. 'Sides, i dont think we wanna see a tossed up dinner all over the table and on us do we?" She mused then, tapping his nose and making her way to the cashier then.
Gabriel Krusen
Gabriel to say the least, wasnt pleased with his so called 'discussion' with the teachers just an hour or two ago. And it left the visibly injured man to hustle about his classroom to find anything to hide them. He didnt need a student body asking about his black eye. But alas, he came up with nothing, and resumed to sit in his seat until he got bored with just staring at the wall. Getting up, he made his way to his room door and opened it.
There he stepped out and let out a long and quiet sigh. He spotted Fiona entering the building. "Hello Fiona," he simply greeted. He had a feeling she was prowling to him. He wasnt going to complain. She did let out steam on her end. There really shouldnt be any problems, right? His hands clasped behind his back, standing poised and straightfaced then

Jack's hand snaked up, gripping her wrist as she bonked his nose. Giving her a wide grin, he stepped closer, "Come on, Allie. No need to be such a stick in the mud. All in good fun, right Piper?" He let her go, then reached out and lifted her chin slightly, "I'm sure I know what Piper wants. And I'm getting a sense of what you want too." Letting go of Piper, he gave him a small smack on the butt, "Alrighty, off with you two then. I'll see you around." Though the latter part of that comment was firmly directed at Piper, smirking. He was having far too much fun to let this end here.
Geoff raised an eyebrow, "Killing experience? Yes. Murder? Nope, sorry. Who're you trying to kill anyways? And you going for an 'accident' or do you not care if people know he was murdered?" Picking up a chair, he dragged it over and plopped down, leaning against the desk.
Fiona met him at the door and didn't respond right away. She merely stepped around him and into his office. Walking to the center of the room, she turned to face him and waited a moment before choosing her words carefully, "You're a horrible teacher, you know that, right?" Okay, not the best start. She had planned to be a little more eloquent, but apparently that wasn't going to happen, so she just pushed onwards, "You seriously don't get how hard it is to try and do my job when I've constantly got you running color commentary in front of the entire school. You undermined every single choice I made and thing I did today. Every single thing. And I get it. There were things I could have handled better, I'll be the first to admit that. I make mistakes. But I have to stand by those choices I've made and make them work. Which you," she took a step towards him and poked her finger into his chest, "just made practically impossible." Spinning around, she walked over to his desk and hoisted herself up, sitting on the edge, "I'm trying to lead my class as best I can and you literally just destroyed the respect that I've fought for since I got here."

Piper let out a small squeak of a sound in surprise, face starting to turn into one of irritation than embarrassment. He whipped his head around and grabbed Jack's wrist, pushing him slightly aside as if to have a private conversation. He couldn't just let the guy walk away after that horrifying ordeal, leaving himself to deal with the mess. "What the hell are you doing?" he hissed in a hushed voice, throwing a look over his shoulder at Alessandra to make sure that she wasn't listening. He tried to give her an apologetic look, as if this were his responsibility.
Wisteria sighed again, leaning her head forward to let her hair pool on the desk in front of her. "Oh no, I'd like to string his entrails around the school if at all possible, but that's not really smart," she mumbled, looking over at Geoff with squinty eyes. "I think Jack needs a little taste of his own medicine, is all, but I don't have enough high ground on him," she explained to him, flipping her hair over her shoulder and leaning an elbow against the desk as she spun the chair to face him, eyebrow raised. Geoff wasn't the type to get his hands dirty, especially in business that wasn't his, but it would be nice to have his help. Besides, Jack's comments about having no friends started to prod her, even if she knew it wasn't true, wanted to believe it wasn't.

Oh god jack xD he deserves an A there
--
Gabriel listened, good eye shifting to her as he turned to blink. "And i apologize for acting that way," he told her as he sighed quietly. Hands stuffing into his pants pockets, he walked into his room and opted to look out the window. He thought about what she said and gave a light chuckle. "I am considered one of the worst teachers, actually," he admitted as he spared her a glance. "But its not because of how i act really. In all honesty i was afraid. I was afraid of you getting in trouble with people i know who chew you out in a heartbeat."
He lifted a hand and rubbed his chin. "They knew the pack was coming. You handled it well, and from what i have heard you are amazing. Really, you are a straight A student and how you think of me wont change my opinion on you being well. All in all, i do think what could have been handled better on my end was my treatment." He inhaled softly. "But i think i should eat my own words; if i want respect i should give it to you hm?"
--
Alessandra waa blushing then, eyes wide as she let Jack hold her chin that way. Her cheeks only grew darker at the prospect of what he knew she possibly wanted. Really- she nearly dropped her chicken alfredo and swallowed when she was released, looking at her food and ear tips turning a maroon. "O-o-okay," she squeaked out to the man before looking at Piper.

"Oh come on, Wisteria isn't that bad!" Lilah waved a hand at him, though hesitated and actually thought about her statement. Everyone assumed that it was Anna that you had to be careful of, which was true, considering she could kill everyone in a room before they could even take a breath. But Anna was at least openly scary. Wisteria, on the other hand, played innocent very well. Lilah was fully aware of that girl's seemingly endless knowledge of everyone in the school, and the way she could oh so easily ruin them if she wished it so. "Okay, let me restate that: I see your point and we probably, most definitely should not go to her." Her brow furrowed, "What do you mean apologize? What the hell did you do to the kid?"
Hollis grumbled quietly to himself as he strode down the hall, as if with some dire purpose, absentmindedly fiddling with the hem of his sleeves. Pausing by each door to peek through the window, the young man was searching for Wisteria. Now, he would never openly admit to enjoying her company or refer to her as "friend," but he may have been feeling lonely and hissing snide remarks at people didn't exactly fill the void the same way. He visibly brightened once he spotted people inside one of the classrooms, pushing the door open and sliding inside. "Wis- Oh. Hello, Geoff."

Fiona pulled her legs up, crossing them under herself as she turned slightly to follow his movement. She couldn't restrain a laugh, "Who, like the dean? Trust me, I've handled the dean before, I can handle him again." One of her proudest moments was walking over the wreckage of his broken down door to go greet her classmates as a Class A student. The dean didn't scare her one bit anymore. In fact, she rather liked him. He made killer tea. Suddenly, she was jerked from her daydreams by two words. They knew. She stared at him incredulously, blood beginning to boil. The student body hadn't been told. She and Piper hadn't been told. But the teachers knew? Before she knew it, she was off the desk and stalking towards him with fists clenched, "You knew?! YOU KNEW?!" She ran her hands through her hair, then glared at him, " I had a new student out there today! What the hell, you should have told us! We could have lost people today! I would have had Cassie stay here, the kid's barely fired a gun before, much less faced monsters before!" Spinning around, she paced back and forth in front of him, entire body shaking with anger, "Of course I was amazing, I'm always amazing, but I have kids with me who are far less skilled and I could have lost students today." Stopping, she glared at him angrily, "Yeah. You could have done a better job in many ways today. So could I. But the difference between our mistakes is mine could have caused a scene with Class B or gotten my class upset with me. Yours could have gotten students killed."
Jack let Piper pull him off to the side, an arrogant smirk telling just how much he was enjoying himself, "What's wrong, Pips? Aren't you enjoying yourself? I know I am. We never get to talk anymore, hang out. Remember the fun that Risher, you, and I used to have? Good times." Well, they probably hadn't been quite as fun for Piper, but they'd been great for Risher and himself.
Geoff frowned, "Jack Kenning? The kid's like a tank. Not to mention his sister's nearly around, little creep." Leaning back, he looked up at the high ceiling for a moment, pondering the issue, "But, hypothetically speaking, if you were going to kill him, you'd need to cut him off from Anna. The moment he begins to fade, she's probably gonna go Mach 1 to reach him and that's the end of that." He tilted in the chair for a moment, the legs clacking against the floor. It would actually be a tricky thing to do, kill one of the Kenning siblings. They had that weird twin thing going on. He gave a little shudder, grumbling, "Why do they even let people like them in?"

Piper made a face, trying not to think about the way Risher treated him. Most of the time, it was rather okay except for the occasional teasing, but the guy had babied him a lot too and he hated to be patronized. Plus, it was more than easy for Jack to join in and make fun of him. Perhaps he shouldn't have let it slide so many times. "You've picked the wrong day to do this, buddy," he muttered, a mischievous idea of his own lighting up above his head. It was probably going to get him killed, but Piper had waited far too long for revenge this sweet. Turning around, he grinned over at Alessandra and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Sorry about my...boyfriend, he gets a little grumpy when I don't give him attention. Boy does he like to cuddle!" he laughed, shooting Jack the briefest of looks, mouth pulled into a smug grin.
Wisteria nodded in response, knowing that what Geoff said was all too true. "You're right. Maybe killing isn't the right answer here, but I have to get him back in a way that doesn't risk my brother. I have plenty of good load of butterflies on them, but it would give them a chance to retaliate," she pointed out, swiveling in her chair a bit as she thought about it. Avoiding Anna's wrath was preferable, so this would take a little more thought than her usual plans, which were always already half-made the instant the got the information. She glanced up at the sound of another voice, and grinned widely at the sight of Hollis. "Ah yes, the High Council has finally convened! Come, join us."
Stile quickly held up his hands defensively. "I didn't DO anything to him! I swear on it!" he insisted quickly with a shake of his head. "I was just...kind of a prick to him, when he was being nice to me. And yeah he's a Class A kid or whatever but I don't think he deserved it," he mumbled, trailing off a bit, trying to not look embarrassed at the thought of what he'd done, and the way Seven had reacted. Normally he didn't give a load of butterflies about how people reacted to him, but for some reason that occasion did not sit well. Lilah was the best at getting good with people, and best friends were the ones to give good advice, right? "So I don't really know what to do.."

Gabriel didnt hesitate to reel back on her, moving after her. "You dont think i didnt know that? Thats lives couldve been saved! I was held in the dark just like you students are!" He yelled right back, his good eye showing how angered he was. "I was sitting here in my office grading papers knowing that every one of you students could handle yourselves until i found one student from class B. Being the teacher i am i escorted her back to her place and in the process of gearing up guess what i found out?" His lips curled into a snarl as he glared at her, daring her to challenge him. "I found from a staff of Class A teachers- one of the same rank- blowing off the mutant pack and saying that Class A was fine and if any of Class B was lost then oh well," he stated darkly. "That being said, they brushed the situation off and if anyone in your guide had gotten hurt, they would question your capabilities because the staff think they're perfect."
His blood was riled up then, already feeling the returning effects of the conversation with the orher teachers. "Do you wanna know why they act this way? Do you wanna know why they'll question you and your mistakes instead of themselves? Because this is the attitude that grows up with them. It never leaves when the idea of being superior over another group becomes engraved in your head." With that he tossed over his chair and dropped his palms onto his desk to lean on it. "I took your beating. I said it was my fault that one of the Class A students got wounded." He breathed out quietly. "You dont need to write up a report, just... do what you always do and win the hearts of the staff."

Alessandra for a long time could only process what Piper said. Hearing the term boyfriend, made her heart feel like it was shot out of her chest. So he was already in a relationship? She gave a weak smile, hiding her disappointment. "Oh... yeah, i completely understand," she smiled at them, shifting her plate to two hands. "You both look like... you could make up. I should let you go," she told him and slowly made her way to the cashier

Caspian loved the little show that was going on before him. He had a few ideas on the new rumor he could spread. Love triangle between Piper, Jack and Alessandra. Maybe even more than that. Should spice it up a bit. Maybe someone is dating another but it's secret He thought to himself though that sounded a bit cliche. Come on people give me more to work with! Caspian was all for making something up but he liked there to be some truth. Thank the gods they haven't noticed him yet.

Fiona snorted, rolling her eyes, "Because we are better. Inherently. But that's beside the point." She gave him a long look, taking in the bruises. She highly doubted the fact the the administration would beat someone up, that wasn't typical punishment. But it wasn't her concern. Turning away, she headed towards the door, then paused. Right, the reason she'd come. Turning back towards him, she sighed, "From now on, can you meet with me after these things to tell me what I'm doing wrong, instead of while they're happening? It'll be easier for me to focus that way."
Jack nearly choked, eyes widening as he looked from Piper to Alessandra. They weren't. He would never date Piper. He struggled to articulate a response for a moment, trying to figure out what to do. To deny it now and back down would be the weak response, showing Piper that he'd gotten under his skin. No, the only direction now was forwards. Reaching forwards, he wrapped his arm around Piper's neck and pulled him close, giving Alessandra a grin, "He's right, I do. But you should see how whiny he gets when I leave him alone for ten minutes. Like a lil lovesick puppy."
Geoff waved to Hollis, "Braur, sweet. Pull up a chair, we're planning a murder." Glancing back over at Wisteria, he pursed his lips, frowning, "The murder would be so much more fun, but whatcha got on them? I'm genuinely curious, I haven't heard anything besides the usual crazy ones that paint them as serial killers or something."

[ yes Caspian, make this a big one ]
Piper didn't exactly want to get chummy with Jack, but he knew that he had to commit to this joke. He felt a little bad at Alessandra's expression, and hoped she would still be friends with him after this hell he'd created. "No no, it's fine really. I think he's just jealous," Piper insisted, throwing Jack a look before moving to find a seat, tilting his head away as much as he could manage without looking strange. This was so, so dumb, but the reaction on Jack's face had been the greatest thing he'd ever seen in his entire life. He waved Alessandra over, smiling the whole time, maybe a bit too forced. How long could this go on?

"I'd be very much obliged. Until next time," he told her nicely, giving her a tip of his head as a way to show she was... Well dismissed. "Thank you for your chat," he added as he lifted up his chair and sat down in it. His eyes closed, giving a quiet sigh through his nose and rubbing the bridge of his nose.

Alessandra paid for her meal and slowly walked over to the duo, sitting across from them. "Really, i bet its amusing, but quite adorable," she told them as she arched a brow and slowly took a bite of her food. She felt bad- one for flirting with someone who was already taken, and for liking Piper in the first place. She felt a bit better though, enjoying the taste of food that tasted like they came from home. "Anything else you boys would love to spill out about your love lives?"

Jack sat down next to Piper, patting his lap, "What, you choosing the bench over me? I'm hurt, Piper." Grabbing the hotdog, he took a massive bite, then began to gesture with it wildly as he spoke, "Oh, you should hear some of these stories. Piper seems all sweet and like a lil goody twoshoes, but he's secretly a real bad dog." The dog joke may have been stretching just a touch, but he was running out of material and trying to maintain this facade was getting a little awkward, with one arm still securely wrapped around Piper's shoulders.
Fiona gave him a curt nod, then left. Instantly she relaxed, shoulders sagging as she took a deep breath in relief. That was over and done with. Which meant it was time to go rest and relax in her room, get that report done. He had said she didn't need to do it, but she liked to keep her own records of her class' performance anyways, it helped her keep track of who needed help and who was stepping out of line. She whistled happily as she strolled back down the hall and began to make her way towards the dorms.
Seven sat in his room, setting up. Flipping through his music sheets, he selected a piece and began to hum it as he assembled his flute. The instrument, while older, was impeccably maintained and he played a soft scale to warm up, the notes drifting down the hall. Pausing , he collected himself, closed his eyes, and began to play. Working off memory, he let the anxiety of the day fall away as the sonata carried him into that peaceful place where he didn't have to worry about his brother or his class or any of the monsters lurking outside his window.

Caspian did his best not to giggle. He blinked surprised that a giggle was even trying to come out of him ; he did not giggle! Anyway, he got a good idea on his story. Alessandra wanted Piper oh so badly, but Jack swooped in to claim his man. He didn't see her face, but her body language told him everything. Perhaps, Jack and Piper were secretly dating. "So many options." He mumbled as he leans back in his seat. Then again a good rumor usually got distorted when so many people changed up the story. Perhaps I start with one group by saying one thing and with another I say something else. Sure he might be ruining their reputations but they were just class B students. Besides, he was good at covering his tracks. He was excite to see how this would turn out.

[ jack oh my go d ]
Piper just stared at Jack with the most disturbed look on his face, about ready to smack the hot dog right out of his hand. He turned to Alessandra and laughed, blushing a little bit as if bashful, slapping Jack's arm teasingly but with a surprising amount of force. "Oh come on now, you shouldn't tell her those kinds of things-" he insisted, grinning at him and practically talking through his teeth. "You may think Jack's a big bully, but I tell ya underneath all that he's a huge softie!" It was a damn miracle that Alessandra was buying it at all, and he wondered how long Jack could put up with it. If he weren't screaming on the inside, he would be laughing. Which of them would break first?

For the longest moment, she watched them interact. She could only smile, tilting her head slowly as she carefully ate. "I see," she answered. She really had no idea what to say. Her skin prickled at last, eyes turning around the room for any prying eyes before she pulled her hoodie back on to hide her mutation. Once that was done she nudged her plate to the side and dropped her chin into her palm. "Im glad to hear you're both cuddle bears, and im glad you're so cute together," she stated then.

Jack gritted his teeth as he tried to maintain the friendly smile. He wasn't backing down first. Jack was not about to be the first to give up and admit the truth. The slap was surprisingly rough and he pretended to be insulted, "Pipes, that hurt. And don't give away all my secrets, I do have a reputation to uphold. Otherwise I'll tell her all about the stuffed animal you still insist on sleeping with, even when I'm right there... oh." He slowly turned towards Alessandra, "Oops. Don't tell anyone would you. Can't have anyone thinking the big bad class B leader is secretly a soft lil sad sack." Reaching up, he roughly pinched Piper's cheek, eyes hard as stone. He wasn't going to break first. He was now committed and there was no way he was giving up.
