Penelope gave a little laugh at that. She'd only seen one guy so far, and admittedly, Aaron had been rather handsome. It made sense though. Even Julia  was stunning, and she expected as much from a place like this. Even if they weren't born with it if you had enough money to attend here you certainly had enough for cosmet-- Her thoughts were interrupted then, as she felt herself lurch back a bit from a body colliding with her own. Collecting herself she looked the boy over. He was taller than her but looked about her age. He introduced himself promptly as Neven. He was a strange one, she concluded, and so shuffled herself in between Julia and Neven out of reflex, never letting go of the girl's hand. He didn't seem particularly aggressive, but certainly rude if nothing else. 

"Girl?" she huffed curtly. "Watch where you step, [i]boy[/i]", she added with extra emphasis. "and who you're addressing." She turned back to Julia then, making sure she was fine. She had to clutch the girl rather tightly to keep her balance when he slammed into her, and she wanted to make sure she hadn't squeezed her too hard. Without looking back, she muttered over her shoulder. "My name is Abelia" He didn't seem like the type she'd be going out of her way to hold conversation with in the future, so she felt no need to give him her preferred moniker. "And that's the only name you're permitted to use when you speak to me." She gestured then to J. "And this is Julia. You'll also refer to her by name as there is no [i]girl[/i] here." She gave little chuckle then. She was serious but not the type to hold grudges. Besides, he seemed more socially awkward than anything else, like he probably couldn't be less of an ass if he tried. His manner of speaking made it hard to be seriously upset, however, even if he had plowed into her, and didn't even bother to apologize.
