W-What?! A scream?!
Rowan needed a place to escape. Now. Another one of his episodes was coming on and it was by no means about to be pretty. Already his breathing was picking up, and his hands shaking.
Ducking into the abandoned bathroom, he closed the door to muffle the noise. Empty. Just how he would have liked it under all circumstances.
He surprised himself though that as soon as he let his guard down, he let out a scream. Raw uncontained emotion echoed off the walls and came back to him, fueling the cycle of loud noise and panic.
Tears pricked at the corners of his eyes as he fell to his knees, cutting himself on shattered glass. What..? Oh. Someone had broken the mirrors.
He finally cut himself off, the sudden silence jarring. So many new things. Not enough friends. Or empty places. He was alone in an overpopulated environment. What even were the chances of that?
Classes hadn’t started yet either thats why this was happening.
Blood was pooling around him now, his knees still bleeding.
His own soft humming echoed back to him as he tried a note. A twisted tone really as he rocked back and forth, trying to silence his chaotic mind. His voice was raw.
He cut the note off.
Still he was crying, hiccuping breaths shaking his body. He needed someone. He was so lonely.
“Is anybody there?” He called to the void, his usual purr of a voice raw. “Please.” He asked softly. Please for what, he didn’t know. But he felt as if he needed to say it.

W-What?! A scream?!
Sonya walked towards the abandoned toilets to be by herself for a bit. She typically liked to be around people but at the moment she just felt so alone and homesick. She had come into the abandoned toilets a couple of times in the same situation to relax herself. Something about the quiet was just comforting.
When she walked into the abandoned toilets it immediately became clear that she would not be in peace as usual. She heard a pained scream and immediately pulled the door closed behind her to not attract any attention. There was someone in here, not quite visible to Sonya, in deep pain. If this person was in here they probably didn't want many people, she stayed in the room though just in case. There was a bit more noise, then silence. She wanted to help, but felt so helpless. She didn't know if this person needed help and if they did she didn't know how to help them. She loved helping people and had done it many times but it was usually just the quiet tears or simple solution. She didn't know that she could help with whatever had caused this much pain.
She took a step back, considering exiting. As she put her hand on the door she heard the person speak.

Sonya stopped in her tracks. It sounded like they needed someone. She walked towards the figure. She could make him out now. He was huddled up, blood around his knees from the glass. She felt really bad she didn't know what to say. "Um hi," she said, realizing it sounded stupid but not knowing what to say, "What's wrong?"“Is anybody there?," they asked, "Please.”

W-What?! A scream?!
Phoebe was lost. It's as simple as that. First, she entered a classroom that was full on students from a completely different year. Second, she somehow found a dead end that she was certain was not there before. Third of all, she lost one of the many handkerchiefs she keeps in her pocket. Today was certainly not her day. All she wanted was to find a bathroom so she could clean off the dirt she spilled on her robe.
She was a good twenty feet away from the bathroom when she saw a young lady walk inside. Quite relieved, she quickly ran over. It was when she heard crying that she stopped, frozen in her tracks.
She didn't know if there was actually someone in distress or if it was just one of the academy's many quirks. She waited, unsure if she should go inside. Upon hearing the same girl's voice asking someone what was wrong, she quickly entered.
Right in front of her eyes was a boy, probably around the same age as her, bleeding and crying. Near him was the young lady. She noticed the broken glass and the blood dripping from the boy's knees. She lurched forward, pulling out two navy blue handkerchiefs from her pocket to stop the bleeding.
"What happened, lad?" she asked him, worry filling her voice. Her eyebrows furrowed in concern.

The trees cry in autumn because their hearts are growing cold.

W-What?! A scream?!
[quote]Amanda walked through the second floor hallway, on her way to Defense Against the Dark Arts class, which was on the floor below. She wasn’t in any rush. In fact, there were still quite a few minutes to spare before class started. She pulled a bag of jelly slugs out of her school bag and popped one into her mouth, chewing on it thoughtfully.
A scream echoed through the corridor, causing Amanda to jump. She quickly finished chewing her jelly slug and swallowed it, ears pricked. Her eyes roved around the hallway, searching for the source of the scream. Her gaze landed on the abandoned bathrooms and she began to walk over slowly, her heart lightly pounding against her rib cage.
Amanda pushed open the door and spotted two girls and a boy inside. She gasped when she saw the boy’s bloody knees. “Oh my gosh!” She walked over to the boy, pushing past the other girls. “You okay, kid? What happened here?” she asked, crouching down beside the distraught boy. She continued on without waiting for a reply. “Listen, I think that I’m going to have to take you to the hospital ward. They’ll fix you up as good as new there.”

“Oh, I may be on the side of the angels, but don't think for one second that I am one of them.”
