Profile: Ash Cartwright (Self evaluation.)College student with a steady job as barista at the Busy Bean. Isolated but that's due to her lack of want to create any lasting relationships. Does this come from her broken past? Yes it does and she's fully aware of this. Profile: Zach, last name still unknown.(Evaluation by Ash.)A seemingly average student, who fits in with everyone but doesn't connect with anyone. Able to appear without making a stir and leave the same way. Average in looks and height. There is nothing about him that should merit Ash's attention. Questions for consideration: If he is so average, why does Ash find him interesting?Why can't she make sense of him? Most importantly, why did she ever decide to get involved?***************Trigger warning: parental abuse mentioned but not described.…

In fact, she's worked for years to portray the perfect image of an upbeat, easy going person. An image that gets harder to hold on to when:The new girl takes an instant dislike to her.Her best friend decides to run against her for Senior Class President. Her football team captain boyfriend breaks up with her.And, oh yeah, she humiliates herself in front of the whole school.

Another slice of silence. "So you really can fight," she said. "Yup." A single heartbeat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." "Cool. Cool, cool, cool." Taylor squinted at him, his outward calm mystifying.

And finally you, Finch," she said, looking to the last guy. "I'm going to bust your ankle because I don't like the way you walk." She slid her hands into her pockets.
