Eden had seemingly shut Jett up for the moment with his comeback then rolled his eyes and gazed at Corey as he started speaking again. He laughed at his respond then snapped his fingers over towards Jett with a 'hmph' face to dignify his mood right about now. "See, I like this guy already." He had teased then focused his attention toward Corey as Jett just stood there.

"Well, the way you were looking at your phone in that 'reminiscent movie' way." Eden said as he nudged Corey's shoulder. "Well, hey, this is no New York. God knows that but..." Eden muttered that last part and looked out at the courtyard and waved his arm out towards the people. "Everyone here is special in their own and unique ways so it's kind of like high school New York, you know?"

Eden said with a load of confidence then raised a brow up at Corey and turned back to Jett. "Wait, we have a basketball team? No way!" He asked towards Jett then waved his hand toward him then turned back towards Corey. "I, uhm, have two specialties actually. Chemistry and Writing." Eden said proudly then leaned into Corey just a little bit.

"So, besides basketball, have any other specialties?" He'd ask while waiting to hear his response.

When Eva agreed to do the collaboration between them, he nearly fell out of his seat as he jumped up out of excitement then hugged her. "I am so happy you agreed!" Aiden said as he released his embrace from around Eva then continued to look at her. "So sorry, I totally interrupted you when you were fixing to tell me about your Summer." Aiden said apologetically then raised a brow up at her. "So, what did you do exactly?"

But again, she was interrupted by the introduction of Sameh as the two did their little girly thing with each other. Aiden just rolled his eyes at them then gave Sameh a small wave then spoke. "What? Am I not too good for an 'OMG! Hey!' moment?" Aiden joked slightly towards the two then gazed his eyes at them both.

"So, Eva, before you were interrupted by Sameh here, I am eager to know what you did for the summer." Aiden said while glancing a Sameh a few times.

When Micky asked for directions he had hoped for a quick simple answer. He had not expected the torrent of activity that came from such a simple query. He nervously stood still as the 'guide' just eyed him up and down. He nearly yelped in surprise as swiftly his shirt was yanked out from the front of his pants. He froze unsure of what to do as the boy proceeded to untuck the rest of his shirt. "Yeah, I'm Micky. Nice to m-meet you." Handing over the map Micky hoped that now he'd at least get his answer. He sort of did at least.

Being dragged around the courtyard was not the way Micky wanted most people to meet him. He paid attention to what Jett was telling him while also nervously waving at anyone that they rushed past. That was until suddenly Jett seemed to notice a friend. Not entirely sure of what to do Micky decided it'd probably be best to slip away now and avoid being dragged around anymore.

Gathering his thoughts over everything that had just happened, Micky eventually deemed it best to put away some of his stuff into his locker. It took a bit but eventually, he found it. However, it seemed someone had picked a fight with it. After kicking it the girl turned her attention to the forming crowd. Micky looked back and forth from the piece of paper that had his locker number on it and the locker the girl had assaulted hoping, no praying, that one of the numbers would suddenly change before his eyes. But he had no such luck. Micky gulped and slowly stepped towards the girl, "Umm, sorry to bother you but I'm Micky. It's a pleasure to meet you but I think that may be my locker." He slowly showed the piece of paper to her that indicated as such.
