[center][indent]Shay jumped when Alcina's voice filled the air.  She turned and beamed at her.  Alcina was one of her longtime best friends.  She could brighten up any room with her optimism  Shay hugged Aly and then nodded. [color=aqua]"Yeah, we're both in AP classes."[/color] She fell silent to allow Alex and Emma to speak. "It sucks! I hate being in these classes," she moaned and looked at Aly. 

[color=aqua]"We need the study group! I'm going to fricken die in these classes."[/color] She then looked around to spot for James and Rose and yelled over when she saw them, "Yo! Over here, Rose, James!" People turned to look over but Shay ignored them, waving her arms frantically and laughing at the stunned looks on some people's faces. [color=aqua]"Over here!"[/color]

James looked up from his conversation with Rose, sighing. He gave Shay a thumbs up then turned back to Rose.  [color=tan]"Aww, I'm sorry, Rose. I'm here for you. I'll help you stop them."[/color] He hugged her close and kissed her cheek.  [color=tan]"I'll make sure to keep am ind shield on you, ok? I love you."[/color] He felt concern as well within him.,  Maybe it was nothing, maybe it was something.  Either way he knew he needed to keep a careful eye on Rose.  The superior could be lurking about and giving her nightmares because she was a Housen.  He remained cheerful for her sake and impassive, keeping his concern at bay.

[color=aqua]"HEY!"[/color] Shay yelled once more, [color=aqua]"Don't ignore me, cinnamon!"[/color] James sighed at his nickname, managing an amused smile. It was the color of his eyes so she had given him the nickname.  

[color=tan]"I think we should go before she loses her shit,"[/color] He gently held her hand and pulled her carefully through the crowd with him.  James looked at the group with a sigh as he came over. 

[color=aqua]"Shit, it's been ten minutes and you're all over each other already? God,"[/color]Shay jokingly looked at Rose. [color=aqua]"I'm kidding, you know me. Missed you two so much! All of you! We just need Jason now."[/color] She looked down at Emma and grinned. [color=aqua]"Look at you, being a little big shot, hanging out with the big kids."[/color][/indent]

[indent]Ariana left the car and bade her twin goodbye.  It wouldn't be for long, however, because she knew that they would hare a dormitory together.  It was the same set-up each year.  Still, a pang hit her hard in the chest as she watched her twin leave.  Ariana loved her but felt out of place with her friends.  It was slightly awkward for her; they were close, and she was not.  It was almost her fault but she felt more at peace with Riley.  The thought of him made her grin uncontrollably.  She gazed around for him and sat down on a bench near the fountain placed in the center of the entrance.  It was the most conspicuous place to be, since most people stayed to the sides.  She texted Riley,[i]Hey I'm by the fountain at fern. R u here yet?[/i] Then, setting her phone in her purse, waited.

She wore a floral neon t-shirt with a pair of jeans and converse.  Around her shoulders was a knit cardigan.  Ariana had tied her hair into a bun with a few hair strands hanging down to frame her face.  The hair blew lightly around her face and she wished she could end the breeze - yet no-one was allowed to us many powers.  It was mandatory procedure which she agreed with, but was regretting not controlling the wind sooner. She looked at her light pink nails and nervously checked her phone to see if Riley had responded.[/indent][/center]
