Oooh I Want to Dance with Sombody~!{Ebs only}

Teegan Eleanor Brisby walked nervously to the middle of the Courtyard, looking to make sure she didn't see anyone. It looked to be clear, perfect. Teegan wasn't really much of a people person and sometimes she just needed some time alone. It was the perfect moment too, the girl pulled her hair away from her face, preparing herself for what she was about to do. She had just finished watching "Dirty Dancing" and wanting to try her powers she was going to attempt one of the dances she had watched on the movie. With a quick breath she started on the moves. Granted she had to have looked somewhat ridiculous without a dance partner, but she continued repeating the dance moves as though she knew the dance her whole life. She was be extremely embarressed if anyone saw her, but she was all alone, right...?

Ooc: I know that the video isn't from Dirty Dancing but eh... close enough!

nate or harmony... >3< *le coin flip* mkay. cx

Swinging the open the door from the ground floor of the main building, Nathaniel Wright stepped outside, eagerly taking in the fresh air. It was nice to just walk around, very relaxing for him. For some weird reason, he thought and imagined best when he was up and moving around; his wounds have healed from the encounter with Steve, nothing seemed to be too off with Melody at the moment, and with all his lessons done he figured a little trip around the campus would be just what he needed. Maybe he'd head out to the forest, later too. There weren't many distractions to side-track him, that is, until he saw a new face dancing across the courtyard; dancing in some... ahem, rather outgoing ways, even stranger that this girl seemed to be dancing with a ghost. Nate couldn't help but pause in his walk, covering his mouth and watching in amusement, wondering when she'd notice him there.

Stepball change, and turn, turn, turn. While turning she made her spot a boy around her age, thank goodness he was there to not make her dizzy. Turn, turn, wait... A boy? With a gasp she covered her mouth with her hand, she felt so exposed, so violated. Her throat was all choked up, but with her hair pulled away from her face how was she supposed herself, face flustered with a cherry red blush and tears welled up in her eyes to match. Without thinking she ripped the elastic out of her hair, wincing as it took thick dark strands with it. How embarrassing! With a shudder she swallowed back her tears and tried to ignore the fact the other boy was amused by her dancing!

Nate chuckled lightly into his hand as she did her spins. He didn't need his power to tell that the young lady was obviously enjoying herself. He thought quietly that even without a partner she moved very gracefully, must have been practicing this routine for a very long time. The image was ruined in a flash when she noticed his presence, "Oh -- hey, I'm sorry!" he said quickly. Miss Teegan could have hidden all she liked, he still picked up on every bit of her embarrassment and urge to withdraw. Nathan frown for a moment, oh god, was she crying...? "I was walking by and..." His voice trailed off, trying to think a way to explain how he just walked up and watched the girl dance in such a way around the courtyard... Preferably without looking like some kind of creep.

She stared at him, gray eyes wide. Timidly she brushed all the tears away with the back of her hand Stop acting like a baby! she reminded herself gently. The boy apologized to Teegan, but with nerves getting the best of her she didn't even reassure it was okay she was just being silly. She wasn't a mind reader, but reading by his body language she was pretty sure he had picked up on her tears. Even more embarrassing! The glow on her cheeks becoming more visible than before. How long had he stood there? Had he been there the whole time? He had to have a power to be here, so was it inviability? With a soft shudder she pushes the thought away. No, no, let's not think about that. He did however try to explain himself, which sort of made Teegan feel better. He had to have been feeling slightly embarrassed if he was coming up with a way to explain herself. Without saying a word Teegan nodded her eyes still wide with shock.

The young man seemed to be a little relieved when she nodded to him. Maybe she could kinda let that go and he wouldn't have to explain himself? Nate ran his fingers back through his hair awkwardly. Alright, well, this was quite the wonderful first impression~. He figured he should try and introduce himself, as to not be remembered as that one random guy who caught her in the middle of her dirty dancing.
"Right, ... I haven't seen you around before." He said and walked up to her cautiously, "You must be new. The name's Nathaniel." He smiled gently and held out his hand, offering for her to shake it. Hopefully, she wouldn't leave him like that, though by the way that she felt he guessed she probably would.

Teegan stared with one black eyebrow high as he cautiously approached her. The girl brushed her fingers through her hair nervously, why was the boy who had just caught her in one of the most embarrassing moments of her life coming toward her? Instincts kicking in she wanted to take a step back, but something was holding her their. Nerves? Probably. Now he was extending his hand and Teegan could now match his handsome face with a name now. In complete honesty she really didn't want to extend out her hand, but deciding not to be a prat she met his hand with her own shaking slightly. She had never been so close to a boy who wasn't her family before, more or less touch them. "Teegan." She replied quietly, but surprising herself she added more. "And yes, I am new. How could you tell?" Whaaaaaat? Teegan asking a question, now this was really something.

Nathaniel smiled again as she grabbed his hand, shaking it gently before drawing back and stuffing his fists in his pickets. He tilted his head slightly in curiosity at the girl, "Teegan? That's a pretty name... Where are you from?" He looked thoughtful for a moment. It was definitely exotic sounding, but he couldn't really place the culture. Shaking the thought away for a moment, he went on to answer her question. "I'm really good at remembering faces... Plus, no one here dances the way you do... Or at all." He joked a little lightly, though the little lace of uncertainty was still in his voice.

Teegan normally wasn't this nervous around people. Yes she wasn't a very social person, but people didn't normally make her nervous. Maybe it was the fact that Nathaniel had just walked in on her private dancing moment, yes yes that was it. If Teegan was one thing it was probably being predictable and poor Nathaniel would probably always be remembered as the boy who interupted her... er... moment.

The girl stared at him, had he not noticed her slight accent? Nevertheless Teegan answered his question, with her blush starting to fade. "Teegan is a Chinese name." She said, pausing to let out a soft laugh. "It's somewhat of a joke considering we're... er I'm from China Beach.... in Vietnam." She looked down at her hands and shifted uncomfortably. This was something she rather not talk about, she didn't like talking about her past or honestly talking in general.

When he answered her question it took a second to sink in and when it finally did her eyes grew wide with horror. "Oh." She replied the words thick with an embarressed tone. "I..." She what... Teegan tried to explain her actions, but there wasn't anything to say so instead she looked down awkwardly at her feet.

As a matter of fact, he hadn't noticed her accent, as there was a few different students from around the globe; Poland, England, Mexico for a few named. Not the mention there was also the slight accent of his Texan belle, which he hardly registered mind anymore as well. It was just something that he simply got used with time passing by in a school such as theirs, as long as the English wasn't too misunderstandable. "Vietnamese?" He blinked. Well, that definitely new, but he wasn't about to push the subject. Clearly, she didn't want go into it. "Interesting... especially compared to yours truly... Who actually only lives about 40 miles out from here." He shrugged, starting to laugh lightly when she showed her embarrassment. Though, it wasn't at her. "Don't worry, I won't tell a soul. Though you might wanna go find an empty room next time." Nate smiled.

Teegan ran her fingers along her skirt's hem-line. Twisting a loose string on her pointer finger and ripping it off, with a simple rist movement. It was small gestured like these that showed how little people skills she had. Her awkward gestures were just... charming. Especially when he repeated where she was from she swayed slightly. Not enought to cause attention, but enough to rattle her back to the past. When he said he lived 40 miles from here Teegan nodded slightly, her tilted head showing she had no clue what exactly was 40 miles from here. "That's... nice." She said quietly before shifting her weight slightly from her left foot to her right foot. Thats when Nathaniel said something that he must have considered as nothing, but it really rubbed Teegan the wrong way. She felt slightly violated, like he was mocking her. Her eyes wide she replied in a startled voice. "Well if I had known you would have seen me I wouldn't have..." Her lower lip wobbled slightly and she stared at him with wide eyes and one dark eybrow now arched low over her gray eye.

Nathaniel caught on to her confusion, "What I mean is, not too far from here..." He tried to explain a little awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. Alright, so she could speak fluent English, but obviously hadn't spent too much time in the states. He picked up on her discomfort, but said nothing about it, instead starting to laugh lightly and starting his walk past Teegan, though he faced her the entire time. "I'm just saying, be careful, it's hard to get privacy here... Especially out in the courtyard." He advised her in a sing-song voice, taking amusement in her emotions. He decided to change the subject, if only to ease her up a bit, and there was something he was curious about before he moved on, if he decided too. "Hey, do you mind telling me what your gift is?" The question was light, and she didn't have to answer. He'd probably figure it out sooner or later in class anyways.

Teegan frowned slightly at the second thing the boy not comfortable with his mockery. "I will." She muttered quietly walking forward to sit down on an empty bench, as her legs were starting to give out on her. She folded her hands slightly in her lap and crossed her ankles. Her whole body was tense as he still seemed amused by her. The girl noticed how he tried to ease up her obvious tension, but the question only seemed to make her slightly more uncomfortable. "Well. It's called adoptive muscle memory." She said in the same soft tone, swinging her feet across the concrete sidewalk. "I can copy things that I can see. I was practicing a movie I had seen when you... erm... saw me." She said a blush creepign back onto her face. "Dirty dancing." She said in such a small voice her face turning bright red as she regretted saying anything about the movie.

He paused, thinking and deciding that he wouldn't mind staying and chatting for a bit. "Dirty dancing?" Nate laughed lightly. Well, now that made sense, he supposed. omg. i love that movie. xD /shot. "And that was only from watching it once? So if you saw people doing matrix flips, could you do that too?" He asked curiously, already deciding her power was a lot more useful than his in most cases.

Teegan wasn't expecting Nathaniel to stay, so she stretched out her legs and reached down to touch her toes, expecting when she sat back up the boy would be gone. However when the shy girl sat back up, he was still there. Awkward. It appeared that the mention of her power had spiked his interest and while she shifted in her seat awkwardly. Now here came the questions, but this time Teegan didn't mind. She nodded and a soft, sliver of a smile flickered over her face, almost like she was amused.. "Yeah I only watched it once, but there is a major difference between watching something simple once and something difficult once. I can watch someone with super strength lift a car, but I can't lift it. I can watch someone bend water, but I can't bend it." She said, getting lost in the thought of if she could actually bend water. "Now something like a matrix flip, I have to practice it multiple times to ace it." She said and her eyes widened. Had she really said that much? Teegan was so surprised with herself she somehow... forgot to do one of her signature, awkward shifts.
