Well, I mean if you don't count the night when Niall returned. That got a bit messy. The only person that seemed to consistently get into trouble with other students was Jack." She pauses a second and then adds, "I don't like to talk behind the back about someone who I might still count as a friend. Umm... I mean... ahh... well it seemed like he would purposely do things around pretty girls and then would claim he was completely innocent. So maybe he was right. Maybe he was innocent. I wasn't there so I don't know. But this bad luck just kept happening and some students didn't appreciate his actions. Like, probably the most suspicious example I've heard was when one of our older students was having a private conversation with a teacher in her bedroom which was probably kind of inappropriate. Nothing happened, or anything, but teachers have offices to speak to students. But anyways, suddenly Jack just bursts into the teacher's bedroom! But then he would blame his ADHD or something else. I don't know. He was always fine to me. But I don't spend a lot of time at the mansion. I prefer to fly!"
John nods in thought. "Okay. So maybe we all need to take a step back and look at each other without the lens of this...Niall person affecting us?" He blinks and quickly adds "Intentionally or not."

"Hey! Sorry. I know I'm 'grounded' to my room for the night but I worked up quite an appetite and I need to replenish the fuel tank, if you know what I mean." He quickly grabs a couple sandwiches, a 6-pack of cola and candy. He takes a bite of his chocolate bar and says, "Yeah, the Professor left it up to me if I can stay. I still haven't decided. I got infected with that virus thingy so I don't think I'm thinking right right now. So maybe in the morning the fog will have lifted and I'll know what to do. I'm sure all of you want me gone but I think the school will lose out if I leave. Ya know what I mean?" Jack takes another huge bite of his chocolate bar.
Malcolm scowls "That sounds like an implied threat.. Not I need the help, I need to be here, but 'The school will lose out...'. Are you trying to imply a threat?"
Malcolm's stutter is entirely gone, and his voice is clear and steady.
John has no reaction to the speedster whom he basically just met some hours before. He'd used one of his powers on him to get him to actually listen and felt...very uncomfortable about that. He didn't know how this Jack would react to that, but he could see that his current roommate was fairly angry at the other kid.
