Xion had been trying to keep out of sight as usual, though this month she had a new reasons. Isa. Saïx. Whatever you wanted to call him. Axel was sure that he had changed. Xion didn't buy it, so was trying to avoid him. Sadly it is always when we want to be at our sneakiest that we draw the most attention. And for her... well... she is short, hides in a hood, and always moves away from people like she is scared of them. Coupled with her inability to call her Keyblade and her willingness to use attack spells on Somebodies... yeah, she's a bully magnet.
It would slowly be escalating through out the month. Starting with small shoves in the hall, and trying to trip her in class. Of course she was agile enough not to trip, and to catch herself when she was pushed. And she stopped coming to classes as often. Which clearly ticked them off so they stepped up their game.
She didn't care so much when they stole her books. Though when they knocked them out of her hands it was annoying. The first time one of them tried to actually hit her, she ducked under it and escaped. The second time, out of nowhere, a cat came and attacked them distracting them so she could get away. Weird.
But by mid-month they realized that she always kept her hood up, and caught on to that being a way to get to her. And they kept trying to pull her hood down, cornering her to tug on it. Calling her names, even kicking her when she was backed against the wall.
She didn't know if she was allowed to fight back. These were PEOPLE not Heartless, not Dusks. And she knew, she just knew... Saïx was probably behind this. Or at the least... waiting for her to mess up badly enough to convince Axel to turn away from her. She didn't think Axel would... but it would hurt him. And if she told him about this... he might try and stop them and get hurt or in trouble himself. So... like so many bullying victims... she was keeping it to herself.
Which she couldn't do if anyone came across this situation themselves, of course.
Plants - Of course, avoiding the bullies meant more shortcuts and hiding than usual. She actually didn't mind the bush as she could take the pain and others avoided it. The pitcher plant chose the wrong day to go after her, however. She had just been cornered by the bullies and had barely escaped with her hood intact. If she could feel, she would be angry and hurt and scared. And so when the plant came after her, it was just too much. Besides, it might even be a heartless... so...
"THUNDER!" She called her lightning down on the plant without mercy. Oh hey, it dropped a knife. She could probably sell that for munny, right?
