Opening her eyes Selene realised that she had fallen asleep so far no one had come to claim the other bed in her dorm room for which she was greatful for. Her stomach rumbled as her redish locks fell over one shoulder rising to her feet she walked over to the window and looked out over the school before sighing. She knew she had to go down to the cafeteria sooner or later and so turning she headed out of the earth dorm and over to the spacious cafeteria where she saw students from every dorm sitting and chatting. Grabbing a salad she moved to a corner her eyes moving around locking onto faces of different people as she quietly hoped no one would bother her at least until classes started.

After getting his food in the cafeteria - some sort of rice and vegetable dish - he sat down in a random corner and continued reading his dictionary. Unfortunately, he didn't notice that there was a girl there already as he sat down at the table...

Zora kept to herself, as always. She walked to her dorm, the one fire related and also the one she neglected to give it's full title. Throwing her things in a room, (Austin's room) she sat on the bed next to her bags.
She pulls a pack of cigarettes from a bag, and then a lighter. It wasn't toi smart for her to be carrying around a lighter, but she did anyway.

Following a small path, she finds a bench off to the side of a different dorm. She puts the cigarette in her mouth and lights it, not even bothering to fully flick the lighter.
Her eyes wonder as the smoke pours from the gap between her lips.
She liked this, no one bothering her. It was nice.

A sigh escaped her lips as she noticed a person sit down at the table she was at. Taking a deep breath in she spoke the words soft and little more then a whisper "Hi I'm Selene." She kept it short and sweet not really knowing what to say to people at the best of times. Looking at the guy she noticed he was reading a dictionary and thought to herself it was a rather strange thing to read but then again she herself had read one a few years back to see if it was interesting. Waiting until the person had spoke to her she quietly at her salad as she half tuned out of the cafeteria to see if anything interesting was going on outside finding nothing she returned to the loud noise of people chatting hoping to get away from it all soon.

Sonja continued reading for a moment before he realized that someone had just been talking to him. Looking up, he saw the other girl sitting there and wondered how long she had been there. "Sonja," he replied, adjusting his glasses. After a brief moment of quiet, or at least as quiet as he thought it could be in the noisy cafeteria, he noticed that she looked uncomfortable. Perhaps she wasn't used to the school yet; the year had just started, after all. "Are you new here?"

Kiyome walked into the Sky lobby, marveling at the interiors of the building. "Wow..." she whispered. Kiyome was too absorbed in gazing at the decorations of the room, she didn't notice the student she was about to collide into. Kiyome yelped as she stumbled over the student sitting on the suitcase. Thankfully, she didn't fall and make a fool of herself."I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" She asked, her eyebrows raised high with concern.

Before Andrew knew it, he was now on the floor thanks to someone stumbling over him. He rubbed the back of his neck and muttered, "Err... What happened?" He then noticed who had tripped and nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine. Er, are you?" He wasn't really that great at holding conversations but tried his best.

He then added, "I probably shoulda put my suitcase in one of my rooms but I didn't. Sorry 'bout that," he apologized to the girl.

Fay yawned from the long and tedious speech. Speeches were always something she hated. When it was finally over, Fay made her way to the library. Honestly, she really didn't care about the dorm situation. No matter the roommate, she'd probably still ignore them anyway. She briefly examined the books the school possessed and a slight smile appeared on her face. The library had a wonderful collection of books. Of course she had read 75% of them, but there was still some she had never opened. Fay had a huge love for reading, no matter the subject. She had a small pleasure in learning new things and reading about them was the best way. She grabbed a hardback book about the piano, another passion she had, and sat down on a light green chair. Maybe this school wouldn't be as terrible as she thought.

"No, I should of been paying more attention" she replied with an apologetic smile. "Here let me help you up" Kiyome bent down slightly on her knees and offered her hand to him. "It's my first time here, I guess I was intrigued by how the building is layed out."

[Tack the Cobbler]

Standing up from his crouched position beside the pool and wiping his wet hands on his pants, Tack wondered if the dorms had cleared out yet and started walking back towards the school. After having found the House of Seas he peered in the different dorm rooms; one had a girl holding a water bottle and laying on her bed with the door open, to who he quickly motioned an apology for interrupting; another was void of human life, yet inhabited by quite a few books. There was a few empty rooms left, still, but he wasn't sure he wanted to be on his own...Tack backed up, setting his book bag on the floor, and pondered his choices.

James wasn't having much luck with finding other Virgo students so he decided to head to the cafeteria. When he got there, he got himself a turkey sandwich and looked around for a place to sit. His eyes saw two students sitting near a corner and James decided that he should be social since this was his first year at the academy. He walked over to Selene and Sonja.

"Hello, do you mind if I sit here?" he said to them as he placed his plate on the table and waited for their response.

Fay quickly finished her book and rose from her chair. She would return to the library another time. She should probably head to her dorms about now though.A nap sounded inviting. As she made her way to the house of seas, she passed by a girl sitting on a bench smoking. She rolled her eyes in complete disgust.

"Are you kidding me? Do you plan on killing yourself? 73% of people who smoke get lung cancer. At least get your hazardous fumes away from my lungs. I don't plan on dying." Fay glared at the girl and began walking away. Hopefully this school wasn't full of foolish people, she might go crazy if it was.

"I don't really mind. Not sure if she does, though." Sonja returned his eyes to his dictionary, still taking bites of his food occasionally as he read. He didn't really care either way if he decided to sit there or not. As long as he had his books, he was pretty happy.
...Although, his parents did say that it would be good for him to interact with kids his age more. That was why he was sent here, after all, and he hadn't done very much of that the year before. Maybe it would be better if he did sit there...

Jo had found her old dorm, and threw her things on the bed. She only had two suitcases, which probably didn't look like a lot, but the insides were packed full of clothes, toiletries, books, posters, and even candy. She wasn't a light packer, obviously, you never knew what you would need. Instead of unpacking, though, she unzipped one of the bags and pulled out a bag of starbursts. After she opened it, she popped one of the candies into her mouth and left the room to find a roomie, bag in hand.

[SomeoneSomewere]

After his rushed eating, not fond of the crowd that was forming inside as students began to pile in. He walked down the sidewalk, towards the house of fire. On his way he saw a vaguely familiar face smoking, and getting chewed out by some know-it-all. The smoker, if he remembered correctly, was a junior as well, and in the house of fire. He approached them and said," Oi, how about you spout your facts to someone who cares." He snatched Zora's cigarette with a smirk, taking a deep breath then blowing the smoke in the other girls face," oh wait, no one cares." His smirk widened, and he flicked the cigarette to the side, completely ignoring the face that it was originally Zora's.

[BlueAjah]

Fey turned back to the bothersome fool who blew smoke in her face. Her eyes glared at him as she folded her arms.

"Oh I'm sorry, were my facts too challenging for you to understand? I see you are as ignorant as her. Let me explain it to you simply. Smo-king ki-lls you." She spoke slowly then shrugged her shoulders. "I've lost interest in this conversation. Now if you don't mind, well I don't care if you don't mind, I'll be departing." She walked away mumbling under her breath about how dense students at this school were. She sighed heavily and walked into an empty dorm room of the House of Seas. It seemed fit enough for her. Hopefully she wouldn't get a roommate to deal with. She made a mental note to find the musical room so she could practice the piano. It would be a waste if she lost her piano skills.

[ribcageroses]

Zora could only roll her eyes.
"Well it's certainly my choice now, isn't it?" She stood, glaring at this girl who thought shd had a right in what Zora could and couldn't do. But before she could continue, someone was defending her. She cracked a smile as he blew the smoke in her face. And yet it quickly faultered as he threw it.

"Hey! Hey! Settle the fuck down!" She could feel her finger tips getting hot. "You-" she points to the girl "I will do what I want with my lungs, I am well aware about the side effects. Don't like it? Walk around it. I'm not going to sit here and apologize for your lazy ignorance to side step away from me. Instead you waltz over here to instigate with me. Leave me alone. You're not my god damn mother. Don't fucking tell me what to do. I'll kill myself slowly if I please and you can take a longer walk around my bench. Now get off your high horse and skit."

She then turns to the male, "you sir owe me another cig." She points to the one now squished on the ground.

[SomeoneSomewere]

A broader smirk formed on his face as he looked at the first girl walk away, rolling his eyes at her, considering to set some article of clothing on fire but deciding to save that. Then, he turned towards Zora as she told him that he owed her a cig. He let out one, sharp laugh, then leaned forward," sucks to be you, doesn't it?" He grinned at her, before turning to walk away. He then said," oh, before you try to burn me, fire doesn't harm me." He smirked back at her before starting towards the arena.

Fay gave up reading and was craving to touch the keys of a piano. After grabbing her sheet music, she made her way to the music room. She grinned at the lovely grand piano. Her eyes glanced around but she was alone, thankfully. Fay sat down on the bench and delicately put her hands on the piano. She glanced at her sheet music,Ocean by Rob Costlow, a contemporary piano solo she had recently been working on. The music was beautiful and she felt like she was the most important person in the world when playing it. Before playing, she quickly made sure no one was watching again. She despised it when people saw her play because she put so much energy into it her music. If people saw her like that, they would think differently of her. She took a deep breath and began playing.

He walked over to Selene and Sonja."Hello, do you mind if I sit here?" he said to them as he placed his plate on the table and waited for their response.

Selene sighed slightly, "no I'm not new here simply prefer my own company." She murmured her hair was covering her golden coloured eye her blue one looking around for a moment. Flicking her redish brown locks over her shoulder she noticed another coming towards where she and Sonja sat. "Most people here are to loud for my liking." She noticed James sit down and took a breath as he asked if it was ok for him to join them. "Yeah I don't see why not." She whispered as her hand came across a lettuce leaf bring it to her lips just with her power showing she was an earth user although not what type.

Looking across the cafeteria she sighed a little the outwardly shy 17 year old was trying her best to communicate with the two sitting at the table with her. "So what zodiacs are you?" She asked trying to make conversation as she continued to fed herself the salad by her own power.

[Yog Sothoth]

James' analytical powers where giving him the sign that these two students were not very social and that they would have preferred to keep to themselves. Selene seemed to be a nice girl and rather shy from what his powers told but she also seemed trustworthy and James' senses also could pick up a good amount of wisdom from her. Sonja seemed to be more into reading books than socializing and had a studious feel to him, but James could sense that there was good side to him beneath his seriousness. When Selene asked them what zodiacs they were, James was happy to answer.

"I am a Virgo" he answered her curious to hear what their zodiacs were, although he did have some idea of which ones they were.

"Certainly doesn't suck."She says, pulling another cigarette out. "Wasn't going to waste my fire on you anyway." She lights her cigarette and sits back down, crossing her legs. That had escalated and calmed down so fast. All because she was smoking. Shaking her head, she blows out the smoke, thankfully and hopefully uninterrupted.
