Akia sat in a corner of The Cottage. She had come early, when there were absolutely no sounds. It's been about third minutes since she heard the first footstep. Since then, there have been footsteps everywhere. It seemed like some people have arrived. 

 Two voices rang across the area, one more mature than the other. She quickly swiped away the tears that seemed to be falling everyday. [i]I need to calm down. This is my first day, and it's important to make a good first impression. There's no need to upset everyone and bring down the mood, because I'm depressed.[/i] Akia plastered a friendly smile across her face and started walking towards the direction of the voices. 

She noticed a figure standing far away. He was wearing glasses, and seemed to be around his 20's. She guessed that it was his voice that was the mature one. 

"Hi, people! How are you?" she said, to the two figures that were standing, two feet from each other.
