It was a beautiful day in drab, uneventful Solis, Ohio. Harley Peyre had arrived at the gates of Solis High School an hour early as per usual. The high school in the early hours was somewhat peaceful - almost serene. There were only a handful of students shuffling in the hallways that would soon be filled with the flock of the student body. Harley wasn't fond of the stillness. Nothing important happened this early in the day, and she would rather spend her time hanging around her locker and observing the masses. Still, she had responsibilities. She was part of the school paper and the student council. That meant having to wake up dead early and report for duty.

The student council president drawled on about stuff the rest of the council knew by heart already. The school's foundation week would be coming up in the following month and they needed to work out a budget for that. There was also prom, which they still needed to pick out a theme for. Honestly, Harley wasn't even listening.

"... new student and we need someone to show her around."

Oh? That had caught Harley's attention and she sat a little straighter. A new student this late in the year? And in their droll little town? Call it a journalist's intuition, but Harley felt as though that new student would be interesting. Perhaps interesting enough to write a mind-blowing article on. Oh yes, she loved the idea of that. Before anyone could attempt to, Harley had her hand in the air and offering to be the new kid's guide, much to the surprise of the rest of the council. She paid them no mind, too focused on the idea that her mind was conjuring. Just who would this new student be?

Half an hour later found Harley loitering outside the main building, searching the students that entered the school for a face she didn't recognize.

Elena at woken up early that morning, she couldn't get that much sleep last night it wasn't her bed and she was used to living in a very lavish bedroom back in Etheania. Her bedroom was rather small then what she was used to but managed to get some of her things to take with her before moving to America. The young princess slowly got out of her bed and made her way over towards her dresser she was nervous it was her first time going to a public school that was in a completely different country. Elena picked up a white tshirt with a pink flower in the center of it and a pair of blue jeans, after getting changed Elena headed downstairs.

"Good morning milady." Anna a woman in her thirties also one of her personal guards said putting some breakfast down onto the table and smiled at Elena as she sat down at the table. "Good morning." Elena said reaching for the glass of water and looked down at the plate of food that was set up and started to dig in. "Hear anything from home?" Elena asked looking up at her, Anna shook her head slightly and sat down at the table. "I'm sure we will get a call later today with the time difference and all." Anna said watching Elena finish eating the rest of her breakfast.

It looked like it was a nice day out Elena grabbed her school backpack with all of her school supplies and started to walk outside and to the car, Anna followed shortly after her. "Nervous at all princess?" Anna asked as the car started Elena sat quietly for a moment and then nodded slightly. "A little bit, never been to a public school before." Elena looked outside the town was pretty small as she watched the buildings passed and they were at the school in just a few minutes. "I'll see you after school." Elena said with a smile as she grabbed her backpack watching the dozens of other students getting off of the school busses and their parents cars, she remembered that there would be another student waiting for her as she walked up towards the steps she spotted Harley waiting and smiled at her.

Harley had just finished giving another student a high-five when she noticed a car pull up to the school. She'd never seen it before or the blonde girl that exited the vehicle. That would be her, she thought to herself as the new girl made her way towards her. Harley supposed she'd been informed about things already and had correctly assumed that Harley would be her guide. Not like anyone's still hanging around out here but me. She didn't need to look around to know that most of the students had already made their way inside the building. She could hear the loud buzz of their chatter in the hallways from the steps outside.

But enough about them. She had a new student in front of her. Harley gave her a once over, and found herself frowning slightly. Sure this girl looked gorgeous, but other than that, Harley couldn't find anything out of the ordinary about her. She certainly didn't look like she belonged in such a dingy town as Solis, but there she was. The new girl didn't look like she'd be causing any trouble. Such a shame.

Harley schooled her features back to a small grin as she held out a hand. "Good morning, princess," she greeted, her usual nickname for girls rolling off her tongue without a second thought. "I'm Harley Peyre, Student Council secretary and head of the school paper. Basically means I know everything there is to know about everything and everyone here, so if you need anything, just ask me." She winked conspiratorially at the other girl. "So, I'll pretty much be showing you around today. Did you get your schedule already?"

Elena eyed Harley for a moment, the girl seemed to be the typical American teen though she was rather cute. "Good morning, princess." Elena was about to shake her hand and froze for a moment thinking that somehow that she was actually found out? Elena quickly shook her head out of it, no one knew that she was from Etheania except for her parents and those within her family's counsel and her two guards. "It's really nice to meet you." Elena said and smiled, her accent sounding like it was more from England taking Harley's hand and shook it.

"I'm Elena Middleton, I uh do have my school schedule." Elena said as she looked over her shoulder watching as her ride drove off down the street, she felt nervous about being alone with no protection like she was usually used to. Elena started to dig into her pocket and pulled out her class schedule for the semester this year. Her first class was history, then pre-algebra, English, science then she had lunch then study hall then school was over.

Elena looked around seeing a few looks and watching some other students whispering, seeing that they were curious about her. "Oh yes, I also have a locker?" Elena said as she pulled out another small sheet of paper that had her locker number and combination for the locker. "Do you know where it is?" On the sheet the locker was number 267.

Harley nodded as she listened to the girl speak. Her eyes roamed, and she didn't miss the way the girl hesitated for a beat before she'd taken her hand. There was something in her eyes - something that Harley couldn't quite put a name to just yet. Worry? Had she been worried? She watched as the girl looked back at the vehicle she'd arrived in. Ah. She was nervous. Harley couldn't say she understood why, but she guessed it had to do with being in a whole new place and knowing no one. And in such a small town too. The girl must have known that she'd be the center of attention for weeks.

"Elena," Harley repeated with a warm smile. "Pretty name," she muttered under her breath as she took a look at the girl's schedule. They had their third and fourth period together, which she supposed was good. Harley knew she wasn't a genius or anything, but she could definitely help Elena catch up on English. Ms. Woods was a kind young woman - the youngest in the staff, actually - and Harley had befriended her with ease. She was sure that with their combined efforts, they'd get Elena caught up in no time. As for science... "We have English and Science together," she announced with a small, lopsided grin. "I can help you in English, and I'm sure I can find someone to help you catch up in Science. Carter maybe."

Harley handed the girl's schedule back to her and waved away the students staring. She nodded when asked about a locker, and almost laughed when she saw the number on the paper. "You are one lucky gal, Elena. Or maybe I'm the lucky one," she added as an afterthought before taking the girl's hand and leading her inside the school. They maneuvered the mess of students in the hall, made easier when most of them simply took to staring at the new student.

Harley stopped in front of a row of lockers. "There's yours," she pointed to a locker labelled 267, "and there's mine." She released her hold on Elena to pat the locker sitting to the right of Elena's. She leaned back on the lockers and grinned at Elena. The more she looked at the other girl, the more her curiosity gnawed at her. Never one to keep her mouth shut, Harley jumped straight into her questions. "So, Elena. Why did you transfer here? In the middle of the school year?"

Elena was relieved that she had at least two classes with Harley when Harley handed back her school schedule she slipped it back into her right pocket she couldn't help but blush slightly when Harley took her hand and led her into the school. She looked at the other students some took a few steps to get out of their way while others stared, and hearing a few whispers coming from the students. 'Who is she?' 'She looks pretty' She wasn't used to all of this attention and being stared at, but she remained quiet for the most part.

When they arrived to her locker Elena looked to the one on the right of hers and smiled glad that their lockers were right next to each other, she started to put in the locker combination. Elena took off her backpack putting it inside her locker and pulled out the books that she needed for class. "So, Elena. Why did you transfer here? In the middle of the school year?" Elena hesitated for a second, she couldn't tell her the truth why she recently transferred here to this school in the middle of the year and decided to go through with the story they had thought up.

"Well uh, my father was a manager at a company they needed someone over here at one of their stores so we had to move here." Elena said hoping that her cover story would actually work, and decided to change the subject. "So what do you do for the student council?"
