The Dorm

[Channing]

She smiled; she knew what he said. But, what fun is calling someone by their actual name?

She stopped just outside the office and set her bag on the ground, opening her letter and envelops of keys. She leaned up against the wall beside her bag and slid her sunglasses to the top of her head.

Channing placed one foot up on the wall behind her in her black sandals and read through the papers infront of her. It had a few things about new student orientation in it, she'd probably skip it--she heard most students did.

But, still she read it...intent unclear.

Lily:

I blushed-again. "I'm sort of a bookworm. i'm taking pre-law and English macanics and literature, plus some other course work." I shrugged.

He looked impressed. "Wow. That's a lot."

"Yeah..." I flushed red. "But enginering sounds fun! Do you like Shakespeare?" I asked, excited. I loved reading Shakespeare! I could've been an actress, but I was too shy to try out for anything. I was glad that there was another girl though. I didn't like being surrounded by guys. Why was I always turning red?! And I thought this was going to be a different year. There goes that plan.

Dawn--

"I'm gonna major in English, writing mostly. Then a minor in law." She smiled looking around.

"You going to be a journalist?" He asked,

"Nope, I want to publish a book. That way I'll eb able to get a horse farm started. Course, they didn't teach anything else here that I needed so I decided on law." She smiled.

** Wow, I missed a lot already. Can someone pull Tristan in please? He's ready to be claimed too, if anyone wants him.**

Lilith~

Lilith slung her bag over her shoulder as she walked towards the dorm rooms. As she neared her room she tucked a strand of strait brown hair behind her ear. She pushed the door open and studied the room. A bag already claimed the left side of the room. Lilith sighed and set her bag on the other bed. Laying down, she yawned and studied the ceiling. It was decorated with multi-colored tape from where other college students had ripped posters down and hadn't bothered to pull the tape along with it.

Lilith sighed again, this time in utter disgust at the uncleanliness of the room. In a second she was up and cleaning the room, thanks to her obsessive compulsive disorder.

Lily:

I almost squealed. "You ride? Do you have your own horse? Sounds like we'll be taking the swame majors!" I was so excited! Someone else who loved horses. Maybe I wouldn't be such a loner after all.

[Ryan Peterson]

Behind his calm face, Ryan was madly blushing. What was so wrong? He had never felt this sensation before - this, this, this... this overwhelming sense that you could do anything. And it was all because of taking a look at this one girl.

He gawked at her until she noticed. Then he shut his mouth and looked away, his eyes darting around his sockets.

Was he in love? No... that couldn't be. He had just broken up with Kristy back home... he couldn't have another girlfriend yet. Just yet. Maybe later... he didn't know.

"Excuse me, dear, what is your name?"

Ryan turned around and saw that he was about to recieve his room.

"I'm Ryan Peterson."

She typed something into her database computer and nodded. "You have room two. Here are the keys -" she handed him a key with a key ring - "and you take the elevator up and its the first door on your left. Your schedule will be sent up shortly."

"Thanks," Ryan muttered. He glanced once more at the beautiful girl and nodded. "See you later, I guess."

She nodded, and he took of towards the elevator.

**-sigh- this shall have to do for now. I don't know who's room I'm sharing, but this should do something...**

Tristan-

I looked at all my stuff. It was all right where it should be, where it was last year. The new kid was coming today, he'd have the other half of the room. I made sure it was clean, just because my last roomate was a pig.

Yuck.

There was a clink from the other side of the door, and it swung open.

"Hello," the person standing there said, carrying his suitcase with him.

"H-h-hi," I stammered, cursing the was I got nervous around everyone.

Adam

"Adam Butler?" he asked the woman behind the desk.

"Butler, Butler... here we are!" she said. "You are sharing with Tristan, he's a second year student."

"Cool," I said, taking the keys she gave me.

"Bye," I waved to the others, and grinned at Dawn. She returned it. "Maybe we'll catch up sometime," I said.

I went up in the elevator and unlocked the door of my room. It was medium sized, nice enough, and surprisingly tidy.

"Hello?" I asked.

Lily:

"Lily Milam?"

"Here!"

"Here's your room key. You will be sharing it with two other girls."

I sighed. I was really hoping for a room without other people.

"Thanks."

I took the key and headed to the room. There was already a girl in there.

"Hi. I'm lily." I introduced myself.

Nick-

He sat and waited, but no one came into the room. There were no classes today, one of the perks of arriving early. He was going to love all of his classes though. He ran a hand through his black locks thoughtfully. Why didn't he get that Channing girl's number? Because he is an idiot. Maybe they will have glasses, then again, he wasn't sure how many people studied film at a school like this.

Tristan

"Hi," I managed again, smiling slightly. "I'm Tristan," I added, calming myself down.

"I'm Adam," he replied, smiling back as he dropped his suitcase onto his bed. "You're a second year?"

"Yup. Welcome to [insert college name here]."

**Sorry about that, it might sound rushed...the bell rings in...NOW...jesus...**

*the college is the University of Phenix*

[Ryan Peterson]

When he was at the second floor, Ryan stepped out of the elevator and switched his luggage to the other arm. He was about to faint because of all of the weight. Seriously, do I really need all of these clothes? Probably not...

Taking the key in his free hand, he unlocked the door and swung it open. There was another guy in there already.

"Oh! Hey. I'm, uh... Ryan. I guess this is where I'll be..."

"Yeah. Hi. I'm Nick."

There was an awkward silence that followed.

Adam

"So which is yours?" he asked, looking at the beds.

Tristan pointed. "Left one."

"Awesome," said Adam, dumping his suitcase on the other. "You have no idea how heavy that thing is."

He sat down and looked at his roommate "So what you studying?" he asked.

Lilith~

Lilith looked up from her cleaning. Another girl stood in the doorway, looking around the room. "Hi. I'm lily." She introduced herself. Lilith stood up and walked over to her, sticking her hand out.

"Lilith," she smiled as they shook hands.
