[b] Mira ~ Haruka [/b]

A petite girl with hair the color of cherry blossoms squeezed her way into the crowd of bustling girls trying to find out who they were roomed with. This was her least favorite part of the first day, dorm room assignments. Her first year she got paired with a third year student who always had students in and out of their room, which she really didn't mind, but when she was gone they would touch her instruments and eat her snacks. Mira sighed lightly as she finally made her way to the front of board. Large, ruby eyes scanned the board for the unfamiliar name matched with her own, and their room number. [i] Tohru? What a cute name... [/i] She followed the flow of girls who had gotten their room numbers already, all the while wondering what type of person her room mate would be. She hoped they would get along, and that they could be instant friends. Mira found herself a little disappointed in herself for not making any close friends her first year. Sure, she knew the people in orchestra and on the softball team, but that hardly counts if they never hung out outside of practice. 

Finally emerging from the sea of anxious girls, Mira started to make her way up the stairs leading to her dorm. Everyone ahead of her was moving at a glacial pace, and her thoughts about the coming school year began to consume her. [i] Hm, I'll have to make sure I secure my spot as first chair this year... [/i] She nodded to herself, allowing her feet to step on the stairs without paying attention to where she was going. 

The person in front of Mira stopped abruptly on the stairwell, and she ran into them face first. "N-n-n-nooo." She screamed, and reached forward, hoping to grab onto their shirt to catch her balance, but her fingers came back empty. Her heart dropped, and she flailed as she fell backwards, expecting to meet the hard tile floors of Lilium Academy.
