As the bus stop, Elijah tried his best to get out of the bus as quickly as possible. Since he had been on his crutches for years, one would think that it would get easier for him to get places more quickly, and it was. But narrow walkways, especially in crammed vehicles, they were still pretty hard. The teen slung his backpack over his shoulders and grabbed his crutches, staggering as best he could to get through the tight aisle. A few times Eli thought he heard the bus driver offer help, but he ignored it.
Sadly, school buses, even special half-blood ones, didn't have disabled ramps. It took a good minute or two before Eli managed to get down on the sidewalk. He was panting slightly, but his face was still bright as he started travelling to the entrance of the Academy. He turned around and gave a small wave before heading up...
...more stairs. Joy. With a bit of a sigh, the caramel blonde started making his way up the steps. Despite his...hardships in life, Eli never complained. In fact, he was tired of people treating him different because of his disabilities. He just wanted to be treated like everyone else, like there wasn't anything different about him. Which was part of the reason he came here. Being a half blood, and disabled made it twice as hard on him in the human world. He was hoping people here would be able to see past his legs and just actually look at him. If they did they would find he wasn't as disabled as anyone thought he was.
"Whew, made it to the top," Eli murmured to himself. It wasn't a great feat, even for the sparrow half-blood, but patting himself on the back a little bit was never a bad thing, was it. He turned to the half-bloods that (most likely) had wandered out to greet him.
"Hi!" he waved.

Kevin had wandered out to meet a new student, he had crutches, so his legs mist have been damaged. "Hi there." He said to the kid. "What happened to your legs?" He asked him, he didn't mean it to be rude, but he just had to ask.

Elijah had almost frowned when Kevin asked him that. He managed to stop himself, but the smile still faded from his face for a minute. It wasn't that he didn't like telling the story, just that it was the first thing that most people asked him. Not, 'What's your name?' or 'How are you doing?' Nope. Just, "What happened to your legs?" Eli was tempted to simply ignore the question, but didn't. Maybe he should at least give this kid one shot.
"They just got damaged in an accident when I was six," Eli mentioned, as if it didn't matter. "They were crushed a bit, in a car accident. I can feel them and use them a tiny bit, but obviously not enough to walk or move a lot." He hoped that the other kid would take a hint that despite what his intentions were, it was rude to ask such a personal question without even introducing yourself. Luckily, Eli's disability, or how he got it, wasn't all the personal for him.
"So, do you have a name?"

Kevin noticed the frown on Eli's face. "Sorry for asking that, and I'm really sorry that happened." He said. "You didn't have to answer, I totally would've understanded if you didn't want to." He gave Eli a small smile. "The name's Kevin Jake, I'm a wolf half-blood. What's your name?"

Eli rolled his eyes a bit. "It's not that, it's that my eyes are up here," he replied, sounding slightly annoyed. "The first thing people notice about me is what's different. I just want to be treated like everyone else. I'm capable on my own." With an inaudible sigh, Elijah was silently glad for the change of subject.
"I'm Elijah. Elijah Reade. But people just call me Eli," he introduced himself. "I'm a golden sparrow."

Kevin smiled at Eli. "Nice to meet ya Eli." He said. "So, you're new here? We have a giant forest where we can run around in our forms, and a lake to swim in." He said.
(MUSE. GONE. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!)

(A few words shorter than average means your muse is gone? oookkkkaayy..... >.>)
Elijah nodded, this time paying close attention to make sure his face didn't waver. Yup. Running around and swimming. Both things he couldn't do. Thank you for telling me. Well the forest was at least good for a few things, anyway.
"So then...what do we do here most of the time, anyway? Just a meet-n-greet for halfbloods, or do they actually try to teach us, too?"
(TO SCHOOL! D:)

(my muse is somewhat high  ) I guess I should actually make friends... thought Shawn as he walked toward the front of the school. There he saw a new student with crutches and a boy with wavy black hair. They both looked younger than him, I guess it doesn't hurt to make younger friends... "Um, hi. I'm Shawn, I'm half grizzly bear. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Are you new to the school?" asked Shawn walking up to the two teens. |

Eli looked up at the new kid who had joined them. He and Kevin looked to be around the same age, probably 17 or 18. They didn't have the 'I'm such a grown-up' type of feel about them just yet, but they were both muscular and tall, so it was hard to tell.
"Eh, you wouldn't like to eat me, anyway. I'm all skin and bones," Eli joked, cracking a small smile. "Let's see, guy you haven't seen before, with quite possibly the most notable physical trait. Yup, new student. I'm Eli," he said after, holding out a hand to shake, while still keeping the crutches under him.

Shawn chuckled after Eli's joke. He shook his hand and said, "Bummer that you have a dissability." said Shawn looking at his crutches.
(and my muse is gone.)

(I seem to do that to people a lot >.>)
Eli looked at his hand after shaking the bear half-blood's hand. "I was half expecting claws," he joked again. He looked at his legs for a moment and shrugged to the best of his ability. "Nah, it's not really a big deal, people overreact about it a lot. I don't care that much anymore, to be honest."
"This is Kevin, he's a wolf," he explained, nudging Kevin slightly to grab his attention again. "I'm just a golden sparrow. Nothing really to be all that proud of."

"Well you get wings, and that's pretty cool. All I get is strength. A regular guy could just work out his entire life and could be like me." said Shawn smiling.

Eli grabbed Kevin's attention. "What now?" He asked, then he saw Shawn. "Oh, hey Shawn." He just looked down for a moment trying to think of something to do. "Hey, wanna run around in our forms at the forest?" He asked them.

"Strength of a bear? Please. I don't think anyone has gotten close. So when we're best buds and you bear hug me, just be careful," Eli grinned. "Kind of been crushed enough as is."
He looked back at Kevin when he spoke up again. As far as animal forms went, running around with a bear and a wolf wasn't exactly what he had in mind. As long as he kept above the ground and out of the way, however, he guessed he wouldn't be trampled.
"Sure? Why not? Just try not to trample me, I'm kind of small."

"Well I'll try. I'm not that fast of a runner, especially in my animal form." said Shawn as he shrugged.

"I'll try not to trample you also." He said. "Let's go."
