Classes Begin and I'm Pretty Sure Everything Breathing is a Fire Hazard

I sat up groggily getting ready for hell. Crap I meant school---Nah I really meant hell. I yawned and rolled out of bed. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten that I chose the top bunk so I took an unexpected splat on the floor. 
                          
Merci yelped and checked up on me. 
                          
"Are you alright?" She squealed.
                          
"Yes," I croaked.
                          
"I love falling out of bed every morning. Gives me that sort of rush ya know." I said as I got up. 
                          
She whimpered but my smile reassured. "I'll be fine. I'll let you get first wash."
                          
She smiled softly and nodded and gathered her things and went to the bathroom.
                          
I was wearing shorts, a tank top, and ankle socks. I had a serious case of bed hair but I sighed and stretched. I went to my bunk to grab my schedule. I had my tempest class first. Yay. I sighed hoping we wouldn't actually have to work on our powers. I just want to avoid using any powers at all. 
                          
I yawned and stretched and waited for Merci to finish up. I made up both of our beds to pass the time and picked out my clothes already. Soon Merci was out blow drying her hair. She sighed a bit and I looked at her biting my lip. I walked over and extend my hand over her hair. 'Please don't set her on fire please, don't set her on fire!' I willed my hand to radiate heat. 
                          
"U-Um w-what are you..."
                          
"Trust me," and soon her hair started to steam and soon hair was dried off. 
                          
She look at me wide eyed. "Wow! That's a nice power."
                          
"Uh. Thanks but I try not to use it often.." 
                          
She look at me, "how come?"
                          
"I would like to explain but we're gonna be late." I pointed to the time and she yelped and went to pick out her clothes and I chuckled and carried my outfit to the bathroom. 
                          
I stood in the hot water for a while and let it run down my body. I loved the heat and the steam. It always helped me think or focus or helped me relax. Eventually I had to step out but it didn't take that long to dry. I just radiated heat so my body would dry. Unfortunately, I did that a bit too much cause my hair ended up catching on fire. I tried not to panic since I was basically fireproof but you tend to forget that when your hair is on fire and you're running around like an idiot. 
                          
Jeez! I've been hanging with Marlo too much.
                          
Once I put out the fire, Merci knocked on the door and asked if I was ok.
                          
"Uh, yea just had a little accident..."
                          
"Oh um well I don't mean to be rude I mean but we have to get breakfast." She said in quiet voice 
                          
"It's ok Merci. I'll be out in a minute."
                          
I got dressed in the school uniform and black boots. It consisted of a black skirt, a black blazer (optional), a white button down blouse tucked into the skirt. 
                          
Merci was wearing the school uniform with her trench coat on. I smiled and lock my arms with hers and walked out the door to breakfast. 
                          
Once we got there, we saw Marlo and Steel saved us a seat. We both smiled and headed toward their direction. On their table were stacks a of chocolate chip and buttermilk pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon (turkey obviously) and other good looking food. My stomach rumbled I blushed hoping nobody heard. "Well someone must be hungry, let's dig in." Marlo burst behind me and I yelped. I growled and went to smack him but he ducked and smirked at me. "Not today little lady."
