Help To Be Given (Tag:Seb)

[Skye Alexander]

When there is help to be given, give it ; help to be taken, take it!

Hey Skye! The guy I was talking about is in the Student Lounge if you want to talk to him! Was the text Skye received from Summer, one of his best friends at Bellefonte. OK I'm heading there anyway. he texted her back and silently gathered his advanced placement books and placed then in his book bag and headed out of the library and towards the Student Lounge and the cute, mysterious boy who needs help with school stuff if Summer was correct.

He made a quick stop at his dorm to drop his books off and put his completed work in his bag for the next day. Apparently to other students in Bellefonte his class list was hard or something... but it was too easy to him but he didn't want to skip high school so he stuck with it. His classes were; AP Research, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics 3, AP Calculus, AP English Literature and Composition, AP Human Geography, and AP Latin.

Skye smiled as he walked into the Student Lounge looking for the boy that Summer had sent a picture of to him. She never gave me his name, just sent me his picture... OK, shouldn't be hard to find him. he thought as he glanced around the room till he spotted who he was looking for. He walked over to the taller boy, with him standing at 5'6 1/2" half an inch taller than Summer he tended to be one of the shortest boys in school.

"Hello, I'm Skye. Summer told me you needed a tutor." he said speaking quietly just in case the other boy didn't want others to know he needed help. "I can help when ever you need it! With what ever too." He smiled cutely at the boy. He could tell that the boy in front of him seamed confused about something weather it was about him randomly showing up or something personal he just smiled and waited for a response.

"Here let's go over there," he said pointing to a shadowy corner of the Lounge, away from the other students hanging out. That corner was his 'emo corner' as the other students called it, he just liked it cause he was closer to his source of power, and he could make a barrier/shield to block out sounds if the brunette boy wanted it where no one else could hear. "This is my corner... people tend to avoid it." he explained with a small chuckle. then sat down in one of the two chair hidden in it, usually it was Summer who joined him in his corner but he kinda liked his replacement, a cute boy.

"Hello, I'm Skye. Summer told me you needed a tutor."

"I can help when ever you need it! With what ever too."

Sebastian was taken by surprise when he saw Skye the cute tutor that Summer had told him about walk into the lounge, and a little more when he walked up to Sebastian knowing who he was. Summer had shown him a pic of Skye but she didn't have any pics of Sebastian to have shown him, puzzled Sebastian.

"H..Hi I'm Se..Sebastian" He Sputtered awkwardly. "Are you sure it wont be to much trouble? I don't.... I don't want to be a burden on you or anything......"

"Here let's go over there,"
"This is my corner... people tend to avoid it."
Sebastian had his eyes towards the ground, avoiding eye contact with the cute boy, but looking on the ground he noticed something odd. Skye's shadow was much darker than his, Sebastian was ready to write it off as a trick of the light, until they approached the corner. The closer Skye got to the corner the darker the shadows there became, it was like someone was playing with a dimmer switch almost. As he approached even his shadow grew stronger, more solid somehow, so much so that he almost tried to reach for something with his shadow to see if he could move it.

Turning his attention back to Skye, as he sat down he said "So...so where do we start?"

'H..Hi I'm Se..Sebastian' He smiled at the cute stutter the younger boy did.  "Nice to meet you Sebastian."

'Are you sure it wont be to much trouble? I don't.... I don't want to be a burden on you or anything......' He shook his head quickly. "It's no trouble at all, I almost always have my homework already done before I leave the classroom." he said slightly cockily before sitting worn and making himself comfortable and pulling out a notebook from his bag, a pencil, and a purple pen. "Make yourself comfortable." he said motioning to the other comfy chair in the corner. 

'So...so where do we start?' Skye opened his note book up to a clean page and wrote 'Sebastian's Tutoring Schedule!' "First we need to figure out which classes give you the most trouble. They will be the ones we work on first and most often. Also the ones you absolutely need to graduate," he said as he flipped to another page and wrote 'Sebastian's Classes!' at the top.  "Then I need to know when you're free or when you an hour to work with me. Once I know those two things I can make you a schedule." He turned to Sebastian and waited for his classes and free periods of an hour or more. "Oh, make sure to bring all your homework for the classes we're going to work on that scheduled time with you. If you want we can do a little but right now, just need to know which class(s) you want to work on now."

He quickly wrote down Sebastian's trouble classes and needed classes then the free times and sat for a second to work out a schedule. He stood up really quick as if he remembered something. "Let me go make a copy of the schedule for you real quick!" he said then seemingly vanishing into the darkest portion of the shadows in his corner.

He stepped out of the shadows in the copy room and quickly made three different copies, one for his room, one for his locker and one for Sebastian. Once the copies were made he laminated them to make them last then Shadow Traveled to him room and pinned his room copy to his cork board, before heading back to Sebastian. He stepped out of the shadows with his notebook, his locker copy, and Sebastian's copy in his hand. "Sorry, did I take too long?" he asked, a little out of breath from Shadow Traveling to three different places very quickly. 

Notes: my next post when I actually have the info I'll make the schedule.

Sebastian listened to Skye intently but hesitated when he ask what he needed help with most, his face grown warm from embarrassment. "Well... you see my powers kicked in when I was 11...... So I haven't been in school since the 5th grade, don't get me wrong I'm smart just never was able to attend a school after that until now" trying to avoid giving to much detail as to why. Not sure what Summer might have told him about his powers.

Then a horrible thought crossed his mind, had Skye been at the dance had he seen Sebastian...naked on the dance floor?  Turning even redder he rushed through he rest of the info as quickly as possibly.

He would for sure be on geography he had a better grasp then most at this. 
He also had foreign languages covered great, along with math and computers which he was always gifted at, may need to learn the more advanced stuff but would pick it up quickly enough.  
just about everything else was crap  though and sex years of schooling to catch up on.

"Let me go make a copy of the schedule for you real quick!"

Sebastian heart started to race when he watched Skye disappear into the shadows. He was a Teleporter! The first one Sebastian has met besides himself. He had so many questions, but where was he to ask? In that instant he felt his powers kicking in, the next moment he found himself in a dark copying room with Skye standing at the copier, he was about to call out to him than thought better of it, he would have to explain how his  powers work on a subconscious level, which may bring up too many awkward questions so he teleported back to the lounge and waited for Skye's return return.
 
"Sorry, did I take too long?"

"Your a teleporter! blurted out Sebastian almost before Skye got his words out.
I have so many questions!
When did you first teleport?
Where was the first place you teleported to?
How far can you go in one jump?"
Sebastian forgetting his shyness in the face of excitement looked Skye right in the eyes as he asked one question right after the other, not giving anytime in between questions to answer before asking the next...until he got to the last two, which he lowered his voice to ask as if in secret. 
"...So whats your trick to keeping your mind in the here and now, and..... what do you take to keep awake so you know ...IT wont happen?
He leaned in waiting for a response as if it was some prized treasure just within his grip.

'Your a teleporter! I have so many questions! When did you first teleport? Where was the first place you teleported to?'

He quickly caught his breath and smiled at Sebastian. "Whoa! Slow down!" Skye said then worked out what was said. "I guess it is kinda like teleportation." he muttered quietly to himself thinking about it. "I first 'teleported' when I was about 11, um... I was being chased so I hid in a darkened closet and wished inside me head that I could be some where safe, the next thing I knew I was in my elementary school library." he said being very vague before he got the feeling that he should explain a little bit more so he made a barrier/shield to block noise. "My mom, she wasn't the best, and my dad... well I don't know anything about him except that he's a mutant also and I looks kinda like him. But my mom was the one chasing me... she had the habit of getting a bat when she was angry so I hid. I know that when I was in the closet my emotions were out of whack, constantly changing between fear, anger and forgiveness, but even over that was the desperate wish to be safe." he said looking at his hands, his slim fingers playing with his skeleton, human hand ring. "How about you? Where did you first port to?" he asked, looking up at Sebastian.

'How far can you go in one jump?'

"I can Shadow Travel across the globe, if I'm not hopped up on energy drinks I pass out for 24 hours though, if I am hopped up on energy drinks it usually makes ,e tired but i don't pass out. I've done it before." Skye explained smiling slightly, it was nice to talk about this portion of his power, people tended to only see the Shadow Shields or the Shadow Weapons, they hardly ever are interested in his ability to teleport through shadows.

'...So whats your trick to keeping your mind in the here and now, and..... what do you take to keep awake so you know ...IT wont happen?'

"To keep my mind in the here and now I focus on one thing, letting that one thing take over my mind. Like homework, books, friends," he started before smirking coyly. "Or maybe a boyfriend." He wiggled his eyebrows slightly, his eyebrow ring glinting off the very slight light. "Or I remember that I have a comfort place to go to if my emotions become too unstable to keep me in one place. I like to meditate before sleeping it helps keep emotional dreams away so I don't accidentally Shadow Travel to the library or something in my sleep. Try meditating! That'll help you control your emotions better, once you get a handle on your emotions you should be able to control your power better." he said encouragingly.

He pulled out the schedule copies again and handed Sebastian his copy. "OK, enough about powers for now, we can talk again later." Skye took out a marker out of his bag and circled a few things. "For a few weeks we'll work on schooling you missed cause of your power. We'll do it by subject and when you feel you're caught up with class we can just focus on the problem areas you don't understand. So we'll start with stuff for your 6th grade years and go from there, when you feel ready for the grade up tell me and I will make you a test to see if you are ready to go up to the next grade.We'll do this till you're comfortable Mon-Thurs, I don't have much free time on Fridays, but if you really need help on a Friday you just need to fine me in the hall ways or call my number, Summer gave you my number right?" he explained then asked. "Any questions?"

Notes: Hope it's ok.

Sebastian listened to Skye's story with sorrow when he told him about his mom, and what she used to do to him. "I'm sorry for what your mom did to you. Mine parents abandon me as a baby outside in the cold to die."

His hart fell a little when he found out Skye's powers didn't work the same as his did. He would try the meditating but his powers were less effected by his emotions and was more tied to his subconscious. If he thought about friends his powers would teleport him to them not keep him in the here and now. He did blush at the guys words and acts about a boy friend, did he know?   

"How far can I teleport, I can port across the globe as easy as you can take a step. You see my powers don't work like most, my powers are way too easy to use. It is constantly trying to teleport me to some random place my subconscious is thinking about, I have to continually think of the location I am in or it will teleport me away, and the problem with meditating is that you can clear your mind but not your subconscious of thoughts so I don't think that will work either but I'll give it a shot."

After hearing Skye's plan for his tutoring, Sebastian felt hope once more that he may be able to catch up on his schooling. "Thank...thank you for all the help." he mumbled "I ummm have your number but I don't have a phone. The way my life has been... I don't stay in one calling zone long enough to have a phone." No less not knowing anybody to call until I got to the school thought Sebastian. No I think I got the plan down. "So do you still talk with your mom? You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." Asked Sebastian making sure the strange shadow wall was still up as he did.
