Interacting with:[@akirashadow][@snickerdoodly][@anyalex]

Erik looked up at Alana and returned the laugh. As he did, he crunched the data in his head. Given that he had already interacted with Tyler, though it did not seem particularly successful given his own curiosity and Tyler's odd reticence to engage someone like himself in more active discussion. Erik guessed it was simply the lack of time spent together. He did not want to say anything that could offend the serious teen. At the same time, here was another opportunity to bond with another potential friend and contact down the line. He needed to walk the tight rope of social grace and friendliness carefully. [color=39b54a]"It is the same for me as well. Without getting one of the scholarships, I definitely would not have been able to come here. A little beyond my school of residence after all/"[/color] Erik gave a playful wink as he cracked the joke. [color=39b54a]"I do think it will be worth it. With this school on our applications, I think that we can get into any university we choose. And with that, have a real chance at accomplishing our dreams."[/color] Erik finished his response with a wide grin. He figured that he would make a suitable impression with that response and continued to give the Barley scratches.

[color=39b54a]"The first day definitely did not hit my standards! I was certain that there would be a red carpet rolled out for our first period class![/color] Erik took the opportunity to flash a grin which emphasized his incredibly handsome face. [color=39b54a]"Honestly, I was a bit taken off guard at how normal things are. Just standard new school stuff, classes, homework and making new friends out on the grass. Meeting Barley was a great bonus too! The only odd thing was that last announcement. What do you suppose they are doing in there?"[/color] If that is where the meetings where the leaders of the school met, it was definitely where someone like himself belonged.
