Her lips were just pulling up into a grin when she was pulled into a hug, from Ronnie, of course. She felt her cheeks heat up at the embrace. It was not the fact that it was Ronnie that was hugging her - although he was the one in the group that she was perhaps the most attracted to - it was the blatant signs of affection that she not so used to that made her a little uncomfortable. She wasn't complaining, though. Her smile only widened as Brandon came into view - her teacher and possibly her closest friend. She opened her mouth to say something, perhaps a warm greeting or a light bit of teasing, but was interrupted by Damar almost crushing the guy in a hug. Penny watched the exchange for a second, one brow artfully raised, before sliding her eyes away to a worker behind her, offering to take her bags. Murmuring soft thank you's, she let him take her luggage, almost sighing in relief without that ridiculously heavy duffel weighing her down. She turned around just in time for her eyes to catch onto Eva slipping away, and she let her lips twitch in amusement. Things were about to get exciting. Her attention was soon distracted, however, with the sight of Jocelyn entering. She looked gorgeous, as always, and where Penny would have been otherwise jealous of the girl, she felt nothing but a friendly affection. But it was now that she stood back and let the group socialise without her, offering her input whenever it was needed, but otherwise staying quiet. She was happy to be here for sure - on the one hand, it would keep her out of trouble for the summer, and on the other she was with the few people she actually happened to care about - but that prospect didn't settle the feeling of awkwardness she felt. It was probably just the fact that she had just arrived - things were bound to pick up sooner or later. And just at that thought, a commotion seemed to kick up. Amelia was crying, Ronnie was taking off his clothes, Damar was on the hunt for the culprit, Alex was shouting his head off, and Lance had just arrived. All Penny could do was roll her eyes. Talk about an overreaction. As the boys started shouting for Eva, Penny made the decision to step in. Taking the steps two at a time, she made her way over to stand by Eva. She suspected that she was in fact the culprit, but surely it was only a joke? [color=Lightpink][b]"There's no need to get your boardies in a twist, Alex."[/b][/color] Penny crossed her arms, keeping her tone flat and calm, her accent soothing, as per usual. She also raised a skeptical brow at Damar, who was also unreasonably angry, yet not as rage-filled as Alex seemed to be. Obviously, he was the one that could be reasoned with. [color=lightpink][b]"There's no point in accusing her of 'acting guilty', Marcus. It's probably just a misunderstanding."[/b][/color] Her tone then shifted to one more on the annoyingly indifferent side of things, because she pretty much knew for a fact that it was not just a misunderstanding. [color=lightpink][b]"Besides, even if she did take them, it's not a big deal. It's only clothes." [/b][/color] The truth of the matter was that if she was going to stay here for the summer, Amelia would need to man up a bit - especially at the hands of Eva and Penny. Penny had no patience for fussy people, and no matter how much she cared for Amelia, she wasn't going to put up with her crying for 100 days. She was being insensitive, she realised, but that was real life. Besides, no one was doing it to upset her, but how else would they have fun?
