[color=f6989d]"I know, it feels like forever since we all last met up!"[/color] Summer chimed back as Calypso pulled her into an overbearing embrace, unable to keep herself from rolling her eyes at how overly affectionate the girl was. It reminded her far too much of her sister, who liked to put on an aura of sweetness and perfection. Although she suspected that Calypso was just a genuinely a happy person, which was somehow even worse. 

Luckily for her, the witchling quickly moved on to the prospect of food, Summer shaking her head at the offer to join. [color=f6989d]"No thanks, I'm not hungry."[/color] Smiling disingenuously at the pair as they walked over to the buffet, Summer soon turned back to the table, her eyes scanning over the few others that were beginning to arrive in dribs and drabs. A couple of them seemed to be keeping to themselves and her gaze simply passed over them disinterestedly. She could never understand the desire to hide oneself quietly in a corner.

At least not all of them were so...boring, and she nodded in greeting to Arken as he bounded over to the table. Her mother hadn't specified who she should be nice to, but Summer knew that her family had always tried to get along with the Stones. She figured it had something to do with the fact that they came from old money [i]and[/i] lived in what was apparently a beautiful estate. She barely had time to open her mouth to greet him though, before an unfamiliar face had plonked himself directly in the seat across from her. Summer had hoped that this unknown initiate would be interesting...or at the very least hot, but she seemed altogether unimpressed when her dark brown eyes slowly looked him up & down.

[i]"I'm Jeremy Lindall. I was sent to join this coven as an initiate this year by my teachers. It's nice to meet you. I hope we can work well together."[/i]

Summer groaned inwardly. It was like some people were just [i]begging[/i] her to make fun of them. Holding up a hand to lazily admire her neat manicure, Summer didn't even make eye contact with the newcomer when she eventually replied. 

[color=f6989d]"...Oh, did you say something?"[/color] She had, of course, heard everything that Jeremy had said but she figured that it would be far more fun to mess with him. Before she could say anymore however, Alex had interrupted them with his offer to 'introduce him to their peers.' Jesus. Why was everyone being so formal today? And hadn't the new kid been introducing himself to [i]her[/i]?  She found herself raising her perfectly plucked eyebrows at the older male, clearly unimpressed with his intrusion. In what was exceedingly stereotypical behaviour for Summer; as soon as someone else showed interest, she became extremely territorial, deciding that she instead wanted to claim the new kid for herself. 

[color=f6989d]"Er, sorry about that. I was a bit distracted."[/color] She smiled pleasantly as she turned back to Jeremy, the irritated expression having quickly dropped from her face. [color=f6989d]"It's [i]super[/i] nice to meet you anyway. So you're totally new? Like, you've never been to the coven before? Ever? ...How fun!"[/color] Summer chimed sweetly, the sudden change in her attitude towards this newcomer probably quite disconcerting. [color=f6989d]"I'm Summer. My family's been here for generations so I know pretty much everything about everyone. Like Charlie. He's from England...or was it Wales? I don't really remember... Either way, he has a pretty cool accent."[/color] She tore her rather predatory gaze away from the new guy as she nudged Charlie in the side with her elbow, practically demanding his attention.
