(Kseniya)
Kseniya felt the jet lag the whole way from the airport to the school, and it didn't seem to be going anywhere fast. The bus that all of the transfers were on bumped along the Montana road quietly until they pulled through the large gates. Most of the students pressed their faces to the windows, speaking in hushed Russian. One of the boys in the plush blue seats in front of her was whimpering about not fitting in with all of the Americans. The young girl reached her hand forward, whispering back to him as she touched his shoulder, "Ty budesh' v poryadke." She told him that he would be fine because well...he would be.
With a little sigh she stood once everything was stopped and grabbed her suitcases from over their heads. All of them stepped off the bus in a bunch, muttering in Russian again. Niya couldn't stand just staying there and she set out towards ...well...one of the buildings. Honestly she was looking for anyone that looked like they were in charge, since all of them had just been given directions to go to the right dorms and to find their rooms. She wanted someone that could tell her where all of the rooms where and when classes started.
That was when she heard and accent that was unmistakable, and from someone she hadn't been with one the trip there. The man was tall and filled out, not a teenager, but he didn't look like someone who would be horrible. In an oddly strong voice she spoke the the Russian man, "Вы говорите по-русски? ... Если это так, вы были бы готовы мне точку в правильном направлении?" Her eyebrows rose, emphasizing her question. It was clear from the look on her face that she was new and that since she still had her bags on her shoulders that she didn't exactly remember which dorms to go to or what to do with herself.
(Trishia)
Unlike the students, most of the teachers had been on the campus either all summer or..well..at least for the past month. That was how long Trishia had been back since visiting her parents at their home in D.C. Some of her purple locks were fluttering around her face as she headed towards the male Moroi dormitories, making her shaking her head to try to get them back into place. Of course on the day that all the students got back she had to go talk to one of the Moroi teachers that was also helping with assignments. The papers in her arms, along with two of the books, were like lead weights in her arms. Of course her arms were thin and long, like most Moroi, and she'd been carrying this stuff for a good ten minutes.
There were people come in off of a bus, maybe the transfer students they'd spoken about at the meetings, and she saw Belikov talking to a few of them before each headed off in their own directions. She gave a wave to Rae, one of the Seniors, along with Anna and Sebastian, before her eyes stopped on the new girl she'd never seen. She grinned even wider before she waved ecstatically. She loved new people.
That was when all of her books and papers flew out of her hands and on to the ground.
With a face flush with blood and a small pout, she bent over and started piling her books back together. It was going to take a while longer than she wanted it to, but she had to get all of the papers so that she could go over them with the language departments head.
Kseniya- "Вы говорите по-русски? ... Если это так, вы были бы готовы мне точку в правильном направлении?" "Do you speak Russian? ...If so, would you be willing to point me in the right direction?"
