[h2]Celeste Romilda[/h2]

Cel remained as calm as possible while waiting for the list of pairings. However, once the holographic projection popped up, she began to feel nervous. She wondered whether it was really necessary to see the pairings today. She could just go home right away and come back tomorrow when she'd be more mentally prepared. [i]Don't be so stupid [/i], she chided herself. Taking in a deep breath, she stepped forward to read the list. It was better to just get it over with right now instead of staying in suspense till tomorrow. Instead of scanning straight away for her own name, she slowly studied the pairings one by one and looked around to see if she could find the other tuners. It was pointless,really, at this time to know who was paired with whom in this sea of strangers but Celeste continued doing so. She was, in reality, just grasping for a few more seconds to prepare herself before finding out her own pairing.

'Celest Romilda with Lucis Gonjake.'

Whether Cel liked it or not, she had ended up looking at her own pairing. An anticlimactic wave of relief washed over her. [i]Was this even worth getting worked up over?[/i] she wondered before turning her attention towards the list again. She studied the picture of her Receiver carefully before looking around. [i][i]"Hi! I'm Celeste Romilda. Nice to meet you" [/i][/i] Cel rehearsed her introduction in her head before giving herself further instructions.[i] "Act friendly, smile , but not too much- you don't want to come across as a goof. And whatever you do , don't you dare get flustered."[/i]. After that, she moved away from the list, waiting for the crowd to thin out so that she could find Lucis.

[h2]Adrian Floris[/h2]

Adrian had entered amidst the eager crowd waiting for the pairings in the room. After having chatted momentarily with the newbies, he left them as they went to see their pairings.He figured it was time he looked for his own partner as well. Adrian knew Shun would be making close to zero effort in finding him, so he looked around the room. Not that this seemed to bother him in the slightest -he had enough enthusiasm and amiability for the both of them . Over time, he had become accustomed to some of the aspects of Shun's behavior. Adrian briskly walked through the heart of the room- there was no point in looking for Shun there. He knew his sourly friend would be sulking somewhere at the back and definitely was not in the center of the room, socializing with others.He looked around for a blue-haired boy not wearing uniform.The thought of Shun appearing in uniform began to seem very strange to Adrian, if not unlikely. Finally locating him, Adrian greeted Shun loudly as he walked up to him.[i]"Look who finally made it to school!"[/i] he exclaimed with a grin as he punched Shun's shoulder as he often did on meeting him. Adrian noticed he wasn't wearing his uniform again which he had somewhat expected.
