He looked around to notice a few new faces but he wasn't looking for anyone in particular until hearing someone call out to him. A familiar voice but not that of his "boo", EJ looked in the direction of where the voice came from to notice Selene. With a smirk displayed, he walked over to her, bumping into a few people, mostly that of Sophmores and came up shortly "Yo, Shades, what it is?" he said coming over to her to give her a hug. "What you up to?" he asked her "Oh, well, you know how it is," Selene said as she returned his hug. "Big day today, doing my best to see who we've got. A lot of new people - you might be in luck." She pulled away from the hug and lowered her sunglasses, right eye closed in a wink. "Just remember, you'll probably be seeing everyone tomorrow too." Just a friendly reminder. She pushed her glasses back up. "By the way, can I grab you later as a spotter? I'm sure there'll be games and prizes - sure would like to win a stuffed tiger." After releasing from the hug, EJ looked around and then back into Selene's eyes despite the shades she had on, long enough to see her winking. "Hehe...I know right. Just shoulda got here earlier. I ended up waking up late." he said. EJ usually went to bed very late at night. "But It's probably better that I'm late here than the first official day of school. You know, my grandma threatened me with an eggo waffle." he mentioned. He nodded to the offer as a spotter for Selene "Yeah...I don't mind being your spotter. I might not be alone when you get me." he reminded her of his girlfriend who would more than likely be around by the time Selene would come back to him. Selene tried to muffle a snicker at Ezera's brief story, but failed. It sounded like his grandmother - she'd met her before and... well, best to leave at that. No point taking sides. "It is, yes. You know, maybe tomorrow, we should see where the school library is - if only so you can arrive early and sleep until first period." Not entirely a serious suggestion, and she grinned at the thought. Ah, yeah, the girlfriend. Selene didn't mind her, not at all, but she wasn't sure they'd actually ever met. Ezera seemed fond enough of her - Amelia, that was the name, right? Just with his love of nicknames, it hadn't come up too much. She was just Fire - a redhead, Selene thought. She nodded, though. "Well, as long as she's nice - maybe I can win all three of us something?" And hopefully she'd understand. She didn't really know how much EJ told Fire about, well, 'Shades'. But if EJ liked her- "Tch....if I can even wake up in time to get here so I can sleep again..." EJ said sarcastically "And library huh? You know I don't really get into that reading stuff too much...I'll probbly be on my music while you're checking stuff out." EJ was not a bookworm but if his friends ever ask him for a favor to join them, he'd do it. For response to Selene's response regarding Amelia, "Fire" which EJ called her, he chuckled "I'm sure she'll be nice.....damn...I hope she be nice. If not, I'll make sure she get off you. So...don't worry, I'll handle her." he retorts "Well, was just thinking the library would be quiet at least. And semi-abandoned. Less likely things would go poorly if you fell asleep there." Selene shrugged, glancing at the older students leaving the area. From top of the school all the way back down to the bottom. The feeling hung over like a thundercloud. If she didn't need college for her eventual career, she doubted she'd attend. "I know I won't be bored there, at least." He was right, she wouldn't argue that. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. "Thanks. It'd just be awful, crying on the first day of high school." She smiled at EJ. "So I really do appreciate it." "I tell ya, you always lookin out for me." he said about how she'd suggest him going to the library to sleep. He did wonder though how the first year of highschool would go. What was ahead of them? Where he, Selene, Amelia, and their friend Kas would would be after this was all over. Selene could be considered a true friend to him since she was always good to talk to when EJ was going through something. He has told Amelia about her before but he didn't remember if the two met. When Selene expressed her gratitude, EJ shrugged "Hey, you always look out for me, I'm going to do the same as well. I won't let anyone harm that pretty face of yours." the moment he said that, he heard Amelia's voice as she came over to him. The moment she came down to hug him, he hugged her back "Fire, what's up babe?" he said as she spoke to him and asked him a question about the summer. "My summer was good but....you already know what made it worth while...." he said reminding Amelia of what they did over the summer. "And sure, you know I don't mind hearing your notes." When she spoke about Kas and Thomas, EJ looked around for them and then back at Selene. "Oh! Fire, have you ever met Selene? I call her Shades...I spoke to you about her before but wasn't sure you two met?" Selene nodded and gave a short wave - normally, she preferred to shake hands, but it meant reaching over EJ, and that seemed less than ideal at the moment. "Pleasure to meet you. He seems very fond of you, you know."
