A paper airplane flitted through an open window in the gym, landing perfectly in one of the trash cans.
About ten seconds later, the trashcan fell over, and Will Stanton tumbled out.
"OK; that was dumb."

"I'm Sid. So, you got the power of garbage." she asks, apparently having missed Will landing in the trash can.

I may have pushed some buttons."

"Eh. I may need to try again later," Will shrugged. "She's not going to get rid of me that easily."

"Second time I've ended up there. I DO try to avoid that, but the headmistress is...persuasive, when she wants to be."

"You should try it sometime. Not always as pleasant as you think it would be," he said, with a slight hitch in his voice.

"Man my roommate would freak if I walk in smelling like garbage." she says, her tone suggesting that she seems to at least be contemplating it.

"I lead the X-Teams. I act, I write, I play music. I hang out in various places, watching the world go by.
I annoy the headmistress."
