Well, so far so good. The girl took the card and was reading it. She gave a nervous wave as the girl, well as Ramona, to be more precise, introduced herself. She seemed nice and cool so far. She was also in the same cottage. That was a pleasant coincidence. At least she already could know she wouldn't be the only new student in Zinnia. Even better was the fact that this girl seemed to be trying to learn ASL. A bright and genuine, as opposed to nervous, smile appeared on Elysia's face. The young girl put away the notecards and began signing, Yes, I know ASL. I'm happy someone else here does. I can help you learn--. At this point, Elysia paused. She realized when Ramona said she was learning that she probably meant it. Ely decided to slow down a little. She pulled out her phone to make sure that Ramona understood what she said so far.
But before the could continue much longer the two girls were approached by a tall man who seemed very kind and approachable. He introduced himself as their dorm leader. Elysia breathed a quiet sigh of relief. He seemed kind. She knew that the dorm leaders at private schools could be mean. But he seemed to be someone that wouldn't make life too difficult here. She began pulling out one of her notecards until she realized he probably already knew what was on the thing. So, she took out her phone and typed out a short, "Hello, pleased to meet you." She dared not type out his name in case Robot Elysia got it wrong. She shook her head when he offered to help with luggage. Other than her backpack, she only had one suitcase. Ramona had a duffel bag and two suitcases. If anyone needed help it'd be her. She followed along until the trio was stopped by a taller girl carrying a thermos and cup.
She must have known Nico, meaning she likely wasn't a new student, because she quickly addressed him handing Nico the thermos. She then turned to the two smaller girls, wait. No, she was looking right at Elysia? A momentary flash of panic crossed the youngest of the three girls wondering why her until the taller girl expressed why. Ely nodded her head yes when she was asked if she was Elysia. How did she know it was her? Ely didn't know anything about anyone here other than her roommate's name was Kassandra. But then the girl introduced herself as Kassandra. Guess that makes sense then that she could easily guess she was Elysia. Nico may have told Kass about her.
But then that also meant it was likely she already knew everything on her silly little notecards. Elysia started feeling like maybe she wasted her time with them. But she'd save that thought for after move-in week at least. She quickly typed out on her phone, "Pleased to meet you. Hope we have a good time together." Soon after the group began moving once again. Elysia fell back towards her quieter ways. There were plenty of people in the group so she didn't need to try and make conversation. Also, the fact that Nico began giving the tour to the newcomers of the group. She looked in awe at the amazing campus. Everything looked beautiful. She just couldn't believe that she was accepted to such a marvelous place. The seeming end of the tour brought the group to the front of the Zinnia Cottage. Ely looked at the building with a smile. It looked so wonderful. Nothing like the normal dorms she had looked up on the internet. She noticed that Nico had somewhat backed off from the girls. Did he want them to chat some or was it just that the tour was over?
Either way, Elysia looked to the other girls. But before she could finish typing on her phone she saw two more students approaching. A confused expression crossed her face as she realized one was riding piggyback on the other. That was certainly odd. When they reached the steps to the cottage the girl dropped the boy straight onto the ground. She was a little uncertain about the new girl but the boy didn't seem to mad. The girl walked by them addressing everyone nicely at least. Before she could think about it though the girl was gone before she grabbed her notecards. Maybe later was what Elysia thought. Then the boy introduced himself and even held the door open for them. Elysia gave a small smile and decided to go on in. For a moment, she paused and looked with mouth agape at the remarkable interior. Did anything in this place not look incredible? When she realized she was blocking the way Elysia quickly stepped the rest of the way in. She pulled out a notecard and waited for everyone to enter. She then held the card out to Sunny. If they were going to have some form of conversation then she might as well get her introduction to him out of the way first to avoid slowing down the rest of the group's chat.
