**Lisa**

Lisa found a quiet place between two pillars, near enough to the main throng of students that she knew what was going on, but far enough away that most of them probably wouldn't try and bother her. She slid down one of the pillars and swung her pack off her shoulder, setting it down next to her smoothly as she sat. Opening the bag, she removed a thick hard-cover book and rested it against her knees as she opened to the bookmark, instantly diving into the world between the pages as the sounds of other people slowly faded away for her.

**Lilly**

Lilly floated behind Marcus, chatting away as if he could hear her. "I can't wait to start this new school," She said in a chipper voice. "What do you think they'll teach us? I always wanted to learn more about history, but I suppose you'll prefer taking more acting classes, huh?" She flipped over on her back, still keeping pace with him. "Ooh, what if you get a roommate? What do you think he'll be like? What if *I* get a roommate? As if that would ever happen, right?" She paused, though she didn't seem to be out of things to say. Finally she flipped back over and stared intently at the back of Marcus' head. "Maybe here you'll finally realize I'm still with you, huh brother?"
