“Asher. Asher. Asher.” Kirina mouthed the name to herself as he talked. In all honesty, she was absolutely terrible with names. She had the tendency of meeting someone and forgetting who they were a few minutes later. Kirina knew she had to break that little habit during college however, it was all about meeting new people there. “You know, if I ever get big, I’ll be sure to star you in a movie sometime!” She said it completely seriously, although as she thought more on it, it did sound kind of weird. Offering that to someone she just met, but the smile on her face stayed firm and confident with her proposal.

Just as the boy started telling her more about himself, another student interrupted with a remark about the punch. Kirina thought for a second about how she didn’t like it when people interrupted others, but thought it best not to chide the newcomer. After a split second of hesitation, she broke out in a huge grin again and put out her hand, “How’d you know that I’m Russian? Vodka’s good with just about anything!” Letting out a soft laugh she continued, “I’m Kirina, nice to meet you.”

As Asher asked about housing Kirina let out a small gasp. “That’s what I forgot! I don’t know my roommate yet. I’m in Standbury..” With the palm of her hand she lightly hit the middle of her forehead as a joking punishment for forgetting to mingle with all the other students. “Oh well.. I guess I’ll see her in the room then.” She muttered before turning back to Jake. “So, what are you majoring in?”
