**Ash Mareinos – Roof of one of the dorm buildings** 

Ash hopped up and fixed her skirt. "Awesome." She grinned at Jamie, and then the clock rang the fourth hour. "Not awesome. I have swim practice in twenty minutes. There's no way to make it five miles there and back." Ash sighed and leaned against the rail tossing her head back and closing her eyes soaking up the sun. "I already miss the lake back home. Sorry Jamie, got to go to practice." Ash climbed over the rail in an easy practiced movement. She dropped onto the emergency ladder that was hanging there. 

Ash leaned over and glanced into the hall window praying there wasn't a teacher randomly in the hall. She let out a sigh of relief and climbed into the dorm hall. "All clear." She told Jamie. "I'll see you after practice?" She asked. His schedule thankfully didn't conflict too often with her own.


**Amy Snow - The library**


Amy heard snickering from a set of girls as the older student passed. She glanced over to see who it was. Amy wasn't sure she knew the girls, but she was certain she recognized them from at least one class. She hadn't really spoken to anyone yet this year. Her dorm mate from last year hadn't returned and since she was in Elliot hall she didn't have a new dorm mate. Her association with Ash was in passing and had only culminated in the pair of them not liking each other. Ash was way too much a slacker for Amy to get along with. So far Amy's only chatting had come in the form of talking with the Librarian here at the school. At least they had common ground. 

Amy wondered if she could get a student position. She had the experience that was for sure.
