:Front gates => Coleus cottage
Brushing a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, the girl blushed and Zeke felt his ears redden slightly - did he say or do anything embarrassing? He relaxed slightly as she responded in a soft tone
“Oh sure. I’m Lillie…” Taking her bag he secured it with the rest of the luggage before following her onto the golf cart.
“Thank you Zeke. Sorry if it’s heavy. I.. think I packed too much.” Returning her smile, Zeke only had enough time to say
"Don’t worry about it-" before Venetia slammed the accelerator and the golf cart took off, causing his teeth to slam together. He didn’t know whether to laugh or be concerned as they sped off. It was all Zeke could do to hold on to his glasses to keep them from flying off during the bumpy ride, he doesn’t know how Venetia’s doing it - some special skill cottage leaders have?
A little bit later they were pulling up to the side of the cottage. Jumping off, he quickly unloaded the luggage before turning as Lillie disembarked.
“That was fun. Was kind of like bumper cars at the fair, but faster!”” She giggled quietly to herself and Ezekiel found himself giving a small laugh as well.
"It was a wild ride, wasn’t it?" Straightening his glasses, he quickly grabbed all the bags before following Lillie’s example and turned towards Venetia, listening intently as she talked.
"All right! Welcome to Coleus! This is my kingdom, you get caught doing anything that's against school rules, then you'll suffer the consequences, just ask Abigail—she's got firsthand experience with that.” The corner of his mouth quirked up slightly. So basically they just shouldn’t get caught. Noted.
“I hate curfew breakers, doesn't matter if it's a second after or 2 minutes after. I don't care if you tripped on your way and have a note from the nurse's office. Don't. Break. Curfew." Giving a wry smile he followed after the ladies as they entered the cottage. Mordechai wasn’t kidding when he warned him earlier.
"All rooms are on the second floor. Ezequiel, your roommate is Jordan Dom, you'll know where it is when you see it, probably. And Lillie, your roommate's name is Jessa—oh, sugartits. Wait a minute..." Blinking, Zeke glanced around for what could have prompted such a reaction, when she turned back towards them - specifically Lillie - he had a bad feeling about this.
"You're perfect! Your roommate is Jessamine, she arrives at 9AM. You remember the front gates right? Go pick her up. You have two hours or so, don't forget. Ezequiel? You'll accompany her. It'll be your first project!! Perfect!! You need to make sure you pick up Jessamina, Chester, and Taro. I think that was all of them?" Wait...what? They need to pick up students? Is this normal procedure? Fuck, okay, they should be alright, no big deal, its just walking back and forth, should be easy...it’s not like they need to make a banner...right? Shit.
A quick glance towards Lillie confirmed that she didn’t seem any more comfortable with the situation than he was. Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to stay calm. It’s not like they could tell their cottage head ‘no’, so there was no point in freaking out.
"Now, you're all set. I hear some voices in the kitchen, go on, introduce yourselves, or make friends—whatever it is that kids do these days. You have some time so run along now. I got better places to be." And just like that Venetia was gone, leaving the two students alone.
“Well she is exciting wasn’t she?” Huffing a small laugh he turned towards Lillie.
"I guess that description works."He watched as Lillie moved toward the kitchen with a smile “
We should go meet them. We have to live together so we should all try and be friends.” Nodding,
"Good point." he placed the luggage down, making sure they wouldn’t be a tripping hazard before following her into the kitchen. Everything should be fine as long as he stays polite, what’s the worst that could happen after all, they’ll eat him?
“Hi everyone I’m Lillie! I’ll be living in the cottage with you.” Following Lillie’s lead he gave a small wave as well as a polite smile.
"And, I’m Zeke, it’s nice to meet you."Thank goodness he wasn’t alone here, if Lillie wasn’t in the same situation as him he would have been freaking out way more. Speaking of Lillie...
“Do you guys like video games?”
