The tall blonde strutted across the train's isle with a flip of her hair, eyes set on the dimple cheeked boy opposite of her seat. She plopped down beside him, giving him no choice but to acknowledge her presence.

" Jan DeStefano, you're going to Caimans Doctorate this year. " She announced, shaking the brown haired boys hand. " Harry_?? "

" Harry DePaul " He answered, letting his hand fall to his lap. " You're intrusive " He added, raising from his uncomfortable position in the corner of his seat.

" We went to Caimans Masters together, I was held back. Either way- - " She rushed, flipping her hair back again. " You're in my 10 list " She informed, widely opening her gray eyes. Harry edged back closer to the window.

" Hm, m'kayy " He cracked a nervous smile, looking around for a possible excuse to escape.

" Harry DePaul, Kris Ronquillo , Lucas E. , Courtney Apple, Ames Favre, Adeline West, Grant Hackett, Robbie Green, Stephan Resseller, Chloe McClellan. " Jan listed, counting them out on her fingers. " You're all possible dorm-mates this year. I'm not stalking you or anything. "

" Never graced my mind.. " Harry answered stiffened in his seat, discomfort being the understatement of the decade. " There's 4 wings of the school, around 300 students, 55 dorms. Anyone can be your dorm-mates.. Ehm- - Jan. S- "

" Oh no, I know it's out of you ten. " Jan interrupted, laughing at his assumption. " You like many underestimate me, Harry. I know what I'm talking about. " She corrected, smug smile on her freckled face.

Harry sat up quickly, incredulous eyebrow raised. " How exactly do you know? "

Jan laughed at his response, shaking her head. " Eavesdropping. " She put simply.

Harry nodded slowly, turning slightly more towards the window. " I see.. "

" I'm a bit of an expert. " She whispered, leaning in closer. "Oh, and It's not how, It's what I know. "

Harry turned to face her, finally giving up. A smile spread across Jan's face once again. " Okay, what exactly do you know then- "

" Harry DePaul: You're only like 5'5, you're never late to class, you've never missed a single day of school as far as I've seen. You got your braces taken off early, Bisexual virgin, you're fresh on eighte- "

Harry raised his hands signaling her to stop.

" NOT about me. "

"Oh " Jan cocked her head to the side, tapping her thin lips. " The Head of the schools secretary is heavily rumored to be messing around with him. Everyone know she's a wh-  "

" No-! Your list-?? "

" Oh-! Why didn't you just say so? Uh- Chloe McClellan: 20. Rumor has it, she's in an arranged engagement. "

"Uhm, okay " Harry replied, feeling ridiculous for even hearing something like that.

Jan raised her finger to add more. " She's also known for banging anything that'll bring her gain, that's where the scandal comes in. " Jan pulled a small notebook from in her blouse, excitement apparent. " Lucas E: Couldn't get his last name. 22, Hot as fire. Apparently he has connections in high places, to be in Caimans Doctorate. Not that he needs them, he's a little more rich than Boudinot itself! After Caimans Masters he sat around for 3 yeas doing NOTHING- - And I hear he likes to gossip even more than I do. " Jan continued, giggling while she flipped to the next page. " Hmm, Oh-! Robbie Green, 20: This guy's strange. 6'1, he doesn't wear shoes, he keeps whips, chains, flogs, paddles- You name it, in his locker or on his person-! He graduated high school last year, puts the double-E in drinker. He steals for fun. According to rumor he's slept with half of Caimans Masters: Girls and boys. Also that his promiscuous habits are the sole reason he decided to stay an extra year. Some say he's like that because he has a connection to the dead.. " Jan leaned in as close as she could, cupping a hand over her mouth. " You know how people get when they've been touched by the dead " Jan whispered. Harry gulped down the cotton in his throat, nodding slowly. Jan returned to an upright position. " Leaving behind serious subject, "Now, Grant Hackett: 19. Football champ. Not the brightest light, he's went to summer-school every year. Most popular kid in high school. His relations with Chloe McClellan made her the second most popular. "

Harry scoffed.

" He bullied you every year too. " Jan finished, flipping to a new page. Harry rolled his eyes in response.

"Ames Favre: 19. Didn't even go to  Caimans Masters. She's not even from

Boudinot. She only has one super-ability, I can't even fathom how she's attending Caimans at all. Rumor has it, she's anorexic, hates people, strictly straight, religious extremist and was homeless. "

Harry covered his mouth with his hands, big brown eyes glistening.

 " What if that rumor stuff isn't true? " Harry questioned, crossing his arms in front of him, deciding he'd had enough.

" Wasn't it all true about you, Harry? " She requests, also crossing her arms.

"Well, wh- Not.. " He stammered. " W- Yeah.. " Harry agreed, now feeling somewhat embarrassed.

" Exactly. Courtney Apple: She fights with a massive weapon, and is known for sneaking up on her opponent. 20, almost didn't graduate due to her being caught getting steamy with a professor. Also, she was Chloe McClellan's first lez-lay. " Jan nudged Harry's arm.

" You really like what you do, don't you? "

" Sure do. Erm.. Stephan Resseller: 20, slept with Chloe McClellan too..Did her homework over a year. Lanky, genius.. Red Jew-fro- -"

Harry hit the space between the two seats, cutting her off.

" That's offensive. " He accused, seat fabric gripped tightly in hand.

" You aren't Jewish. So sue me, Mother Teresa. Stephan Resseller is learning how to manipulate time. He's almost a shoe-in for the remaining 50. " She added, ignoring Harry's pout in the other direction.

"Kris Ronquillo, 20. He's a real corn-fed S.O.B. He's known to kill people just because he can, no warning. So be cautious around him, ya' know? " Jan nudged Harry, not getting a response. " Either way he's a dumb as a doorknob- also's slept with Chloe McClellan. " Jan flipped some bent pages, she tapped her finger in the middle of the page.

" Adeline West: 21. INSANE. Certified, seriously. She barely talks, she usually wears suits, like covering her entire body from the neck down. She wears harlequin make-up and changes wigs like everyday. Her family is royalty apparently. About everyone who's seen what she can do, are on the other side now. "

Jan reached out for Harry, almost losing her balance. " Wait! Did you even hear me?? Wait for me-! " She called after him as he quickly departed from the train. " Why are you so excited to get in the school?? "
