BWI Airport, Portalocity Lounge [Saturday morning]

It had been with several bone-crushing hugs, a lucky rabbit's foot, two trashy books and an iPod that Olive had boarded the plane. If she had to guess, geographically, she had started to really miss her parents and brothers somewhere over Texas. (Texas was huge. She was probably right.) She'd pushed that away and shoved in her earbuds in an attempt to sleep, to no avail.

And...now she was supposed to meet new classmates. Okay. She found the designated loungey area thing -- and holy crap, that glittery sign was like something Marianne would make (so...not a great omen) -- and took a seat. Tempted as she was to retreat into her book and iPod again, she instead only fiddled idly with her phone, looking up every couple minutes to see if anyone relatively her age had come over. She hated being the first one anywhere. Now there was like, this onus on her.

She had maybe just won her Words With Friends game with her mom, as soon as the plane had landed, with "onus." She was pretty proud of that.

Chaz flushed and tried to move closer to the wall. The fact that it was a pretty girl talking to him really didn't help. "Spontaneous human invisibility is still not a thing?" He tried for a joke.

"Not that I've heard of, but I'm kind of behind on my reading," Olive replied thoughtfully.

"It should be in the chapter right after spontaneous human combustion." Chaz suggested.

"That is real," she said, pointing at him. "I heard that's real. I mean, you'd think that if we were developing powers like that, it'd be more awesome and way less....flamey."

"So what would be yours?" Chaz asked, on steadier conversation ground though still slightly stuck on PRETTY GIRL.

"Oh, god, something awesome, like being able to find anything I ever want to find," Olive decided. "I have issues when looking for my keys."

"Would it work for people too?" Chaz wondered. "You'd be set for life."
