River rolled her eyes at Orion, saying he hadn't given up hope. She knew, as was the case with most clubs on this campus, that a new batch of students would join in the fall in an attempt to make friends within their major, get some advice, and add something positive to their resume. But, they would join too many clubs and sign up for too many social activities without realizing what they were getting themselves into. By the spring, those same underclassmen would be so overwhelmed with classes, extracurriculars, and an attempt to have a social life that they would have to choose which activities they could keep up with and which they would kick to the curb. It was a vicious cycle that happened every year, no matter how many times the school put up "Don't stretch yourself too thin" PSA posters. River began to strum absentmindedly, moving her fingers across the strings of the acoustic guitar to create different melodies, soft soothing sounds that got lost among the other bustling chatter of the club fair.

"You should write that down, could be good for a new song," she heard Orion say, turning to glance at him. Though his back was still too her, River knew he was smiling and rolled her eyes. She paused momentarily to pull the leather-bound book from its designated pocket on the top of her guitar case. The words 'Music & Lyrics' were embossed in silver on the front of the book, and the edges were stitched together with a deep turquoise thread. Inside, instead of regular ruled paper, the pages were lined with musical staffs, perfect for writing down notes and chords with enough space in between to add lyrics. River began to write the chords down she had been playing, adding in lyric ideas or themes that may work with the melody. River put the pencil between her lips and picked up the guitar, continuing to strum and pausing every so often to write down a new chord or lyric she thought of.

market| txlos

Noah took off from his last class and skated away from the building. He just finished his biology lab for the morning and stuffed a crumpled piece of paper into his back pocket so he wouldn't loose it during his ride. He was going to the market that was down the block from campus, not on campus though, the campus market really only had snack foods that you could make with a microwave. Pizza rolls, hot pockets, frozen mozzarella sticks and all that "fancy" stuff. He wanted to make sandwiches, but not any sandwiches, authentic french sandwiches. They were his favorite, he just loved how simple they were. Some of them just had meat and cheese on them instead of adding a whole bunch of things like pickles, tomatoes, or whatever suited someone's fancy.

During his ride he felt his pocket give a slight buzz and placed one foot on the concrete slowing him down till he came to a complete stop.

To April (Tulip):
<< Yes, see you soon! >>

Before placing his phone back in his pocket he looked up the docks on his google maps so he could call and make sure to have a boat reserved. How embarrassing would it be that he planned all this, but then didn't have the boat to make it all a reality. The phone rang a few times before he was put on hold like the usual so he kicked his board up into his hand and began to continue to walk since he was around the corner. After they answered he reserved the boat for 6pm tonight and they prompted him with all the things he would need to sign to take the boat out. He used to have his own boat so he wasn't used to having to sign a bunch of rental agreement papers, but he just hoped it wouldn't take long.

After heading inside the market he grabbed the crumbled paper from outside his pocket and began looking for the items down the list.

Cheese
Ham
Baguette
Limonade
Napkins
Paper plates

Life seemed to be teeming in the quad as freshman scrambled to sign up for clubs that they wouldn't have time for, returners hung around tables, and club presidents eagerly awaited those who would approach. The first few months were always like this. Students were either excited or already fully stressed, but none the less, the air was always a little lighter. April continued to mill around with Emery at her side, finding the dance club's table directly across from what looked to be photography students. The ginger grinned over at them before making small talk with her classmates, stealing glances at the table every now and then. They all seemed so care free, so relaxed, and she wondered for a moment what that was like. The redhead's schedule was a never ending, color coded nightmare, and for just once she wondered what spontaneity was like. Sure, this date-thing tonight was new, but it was still planned, having it's own little marker on her planner. For once she wanted to know what it was like to make something off of a snap decision.

Shaking her head a bit and filing a manicured hand through red locks, her train of thought was pleasantly broken by the sound of guitar strumming. Her eyes flicked back to the photography table once more, scanning the guy and two women who seemed to be mindlessly chatting. "Hey," April called meekly, giving the group a smile as attention turned to her. "That sounds really nice. You should try commissioning for Strings & Dance, we always want more guitar and less chello," And while it was true, April could feel judging eyes of the other dancers burning into the back of her head. It amazed her how the other majors never got sick of classical music, even listened to it in their free time. She could never.

Min Kyo smiled gently when they both moved out of the way. “Thanks...” He mumbled softly. He quickly filled up his water bottle before quietly wanting back over to the table he had his books. He started to read for a bit, putting in his earbuds and listened to some music. He glanced at the duo that was chatting again, before looking back at his book. He somewhat wished he could talk to people but felt that he wasn’t completely ready to try and make friends. He shook off the feeling and went back to focusing on his book.

Not very long after did he realize that he was already one-third of the way done with the book. He sat it down on the table and got up, grabbing his things as he decided to head back to his dorm, the library being a bit too crowded for his liking. He walked over and checked the books out with one of the people behind the desk before putting his bag on his back. He grabs his water bottle and keys before he made his way out. As he made his way, he noticed that there were posters for a club fair. He tilted his head to the side a bit as he read. "Maybe I'll stop by...?" He asked himself, feeling a bit curious. He didn't really have time, not true interest to join a club, but decided that maybe a quick look around could change his mind.

Adriel stepped toward her again and glanced over where she pointed. He nodded. "Yeah. Sounds good. I'll just get my stuff," he said, glad he brought the books he needed for his assignment. He'd be able to get plenty of sources and material for when he started writing it. And she swung again, the confident Kinley was back. She was something else, that's for sure.

He chuckled. "No need to bother your roommate, I'm your guy," He said smiling. After she walked away he headed toward the desk and packed up his belongings, making sure he grabbed the flash drive. With his backpack in hand he walked over to her and sat down. He placed the bag on the ground in front of him before leaning toward her. "Looks like a strong start to me." His eyes were on her screen for a few minutes longer before he straightened up. "I could revise it, cut out any unnecessary words and make sure it flows." He looked over at her. He wasn't sure how forward to be. "I'm not sure if I could provide any input on the content." He chuckled lightly. "Definitely not my forte."​

Rose had to admit, she was a bit let down he didn't indulge in 'hyped up, energetic, sign-throwing.' But nevertheless, she let him continue and surprisingly agreed with his words. Smiling the slightest bit and tilting her head towards the outdated cameras. Yes, cameras were cameras. The blonde could afford a much newer model, but she preferred her polaroid.

Sure, the newer ones had better definition, depth, you name it. Lifting the camera with her free hand and shaking it lightly at his introduction.

These just captured beauty better in her opinion.

"My camera and I appreciate your attention." She teased with a smile, and took a step closer to him, and raising the photo to show him. It was... aesthetically pleasing to her, neither of them knew they were being photographed and it just made her previous point.

"I haven't decided whether or not it's nice to meet you yet, 'Orion,' member of the Photography Club." Rose glanced at the photo and back to him, cocking her head to one side and shrugging slightly.

"Though, I'm guessing my camera thinks so, you're photogenic." She grinned and pocketed the photo, raising her now free hand to shake his own.

"I'm Rose. Call me Rosie, Rose. 'The greatest stranger you've ever met.' whatever you prefer really. Just refrain from the insults." She rose her eyebrows in a playful manner.

"So, photography club huh. Where's the signup sheet." Straight to the point? Maybe, but that didn't mean she didn't want to prolong this conversation.

Club fair, that sounded interesting enough. Eoin opened his dorm door and tossed his backpack in before heading toward the fair. He finished enough homework for today and felt like he deserved some free time. He headed out toward the rush of students. He slid his hands into his pocket and made his way through the crowd while scoping out potential clubs. Nothing seem particularly interesting.

He liked photography, but he wasn't sure he liked it that much. His blue eyes rested on the writing club. He'd considered joining it when his sister had, but decided against it. Slowly, his feet brought him toward the booth. He loved writing, but it was more of a personal hobby. Before he reached the booth, a young woman was knocked to the ground by another student. Students like that gave freshman a bad name. He rushed over to her. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked, his Irish accent noticeable as he offered his hand to help her up.​

Hotaru


Hotaru could’ve died right then and there. She snatched her notebook up, clutching to her chest. This day was going great. She opened her mouth, trying her best to not make a bigger fool of herself.

“Oh, I’m going date.” She said hastily, standing up. When she realized her mistake she smacked her forehead. “Doing great! I meant-“ She sighed, her face turning a light shade of pink. She spoke again, carefully enunciating every word. “I’m doing great. Thank you, for helping me up and stuff...” Hotaru felt her accent come out thick, her voice slightly cracking. She seriously could not be more embarrassed. And to make matters worse, he was a good looking guy! Her aunts number one rule was ‘never mess up in front of a good looking person.’ Whoops.

“My name is Hotaru.... what’s yours?” She said hesitantly, trying to break off some awkward tension.

Kinley Jones

Kinley studied Adriel carefully as he read over her work, both nervous and curious as to how well this boy was at editing and revision. Once he spoke to her again, she offered him a small smile, and then a soft laugh. "Yes, I s'pose this can be quite... daunting of a topic for most. I'm sure you can see where all of my energy is going."
She genuinely enjoyed her major, and was very excited to attend medical school in the future, but Kinley was absolutely no stranger to how complicated and confusing the medical sciences were. When she first decided on her major, she had a vague idea of what she was getting herself into, but it quickly knocked the wind out of her and left her stranded at sea. In hindsight, Kinley knew she shouldn't have taken on a full course-load her first semester, especially with the hopes that she would complete everything in an impressively quick pace, because she just ended up having to take an extra semester to make up for how badly she had floundered.
Ah, but that was a few years ago now, and Kinley had certainly gotten into the rhythm she needed by this point. If only that fucking thesis would write itself...
She took a brief sip from her water bottle, feeling a little bit awkward in this silence with a stranger, before speaking once again: "Why'd you pick your major?"​

When she jumped to her feet, Eoin slowly retracted his hand. He smiled at her comment and chuckled at her response. He wasn't sure why she was so flustered, was it him? Or at her own embarrassment at saying the wrong thing? When her cheeks turned pink, he decided it was both. Her accent, it was quite distinct. He was pretty confident it was Japanese. "You're welcome, I'm glad you're okay," he said looking over her. She was pretty, her dark hair complimented her pale complexion well.

Hotaru, he liked it. "I'm Eoin," he stuck his hand out for her. He wasn't sure if she would take it though, since she didn't last time and he didn't really want it awkwardly chilling between them. If she didn't take it, she wouldn't be the only one feeling a bit embarrassed.


Adriel
MarsRover

Daunting was putting it lightly. He definitely understood why she seemed so frustrated by it and he wished he could provide some help related to the topic. Adriel was English savvy and had a few other skills on his belt, but this wasn't one of them. He read the more dense and technical jargon of the paper a couple more times, just to make sure it flowed, but he had a difficult time grasping the meaning. He was adept at piecing things together, but this was beyond his scope.

He looked over at her when she spoke. Silence didn't bother him, he was used to it. Silence became he and his fathers mane mode of communication. "My mother," he said. "She was a writer and she passed down her love of writing to me." It had only been five years since she died, but he felt her absence everyday and he knew his father felt the same. "Why did you pick your major?" He asked. He preferred not to dwell on the topic of his mother because it always led to his father and he hated talking about his father.​

Hotaru


Hotaru smiled shyly, taking his hand and shaking it gently. She wasn’t exactly used to handshakes; that’s just not how it worked in Japan. But she was getting more familiar with them.

So, the mans name was Eoin. She thought it fit him, especially with the accent. She smiled shyly up at him, and bite her bottom lip.

“Nice to meet you, Eoin. I’m Hotaru.” Hotaru opened her mouth, took a deep inhale, and then gave a tight smile, her face brimming red. “I already said that, didn’t I?” She nodded slightly, before realizing she was still shaking his hand a little. She immediately dropped it, and thought very loudly; Get it together, Hotaru!

Hotaru looked at her feet, before shaking her head. She looked to the table for the writing club, and jabbed a thumb at it.
“So, writing club?” She didn’t even realize how odd the sentence sounded.

Eoin chuckled as she restated her name. The pale pink on her cheeks was replaced by a deeper red. He nodded as she held onto his hand. "Aye, you did. I'm still Eoin," he said smiling at her. When she released his hand he couldn't help but laugh. He was thoroughly enjoying this exchange. This was the first time he truly enjoyed himself since coming to the states. He felt lighter as he spoke to her. She wasn't quite what he expected and she seemed completely unfazed by the gimp from earlier.

He followed her hand, he'd forgotten all about the writing club. He ran his fingers through his red hair. "Are you joining?" He asked looking over at her. He had yet to make up his mind about whether or not to join, but at this point, he was leaning toward joining.​

Melissa

Mood: Overwhelmed | Interacting with: Wanda | Mentions: Sook

A smile was starting to form on Melissa's face. She sniffled and wiped away at her face, rubbing the tears into her sleeve. "Yeah, that was... I remember that. You weren't very good, but I was so happy you tried." A laugh left her lips, small but jovial. "Sorry, that's a bit rude of me to say, huh?" She really needed a better filter. Still, the memory had already put her in a much better mood. It was as if it served as an assertation that yes, this was Wanda. The real Wanda. The Wanda who brought so much joy wherever she went.

Melissa listened to Wanda's story, a fond smile on her face. When she heard the other girl continue on a tangent, the smile faded. "N-No, I want to work with you. Please let me." Her eyes welled up with tears again but she refused to let them fall. "I've missed you so much, you don't even know. I tried to block it all out, all the memories we shared, to spare me the pain... of losing you... but that was wrong. I should've fought better." Why hadn't she? Why was she so limited by her anxiety? Why couldn't she just break free from everything that kept her down? Wanda was the only one who could make her come out of her shell. That was the truth, plain and simple.

As the phone was passed over to her, Melissa blinked, staring down at it before Wanda's words finally registered. "Oh, yes..." She picked up the device and tapped in her contact info. "You," she said, taking in a deep breath, "promise? Not to lose it again, I mean. Swear it on... your soul?" Her playful grin gave away the fact that she was joking. It was quite the juxtaposition to see, tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.

Hotaru


Hotaru blushed deeper as he laughed. Was he laughing at her, or at the situation? She had no idea anymore. Her parents never really let her have friends, so she was awkward. Thanks, mom and dad. When he questioned her about joining the writing club, Hotaru nodded vigorously. She grinned a little, and took a deep breath. After composing herself, she toned down her accent slightly, before questioning him the same.

“I am. How about you?” She tried not to be awkward as she said it. Surprisingly, she succeeded, and twirled her pen in one hand, the other still having her notebook clutched to her chest. She gave her best smile, but ended up just looking down at her feet again.

She was pretty sure the man before her was Scottish. Or Irish. He had that type of accent. It was comforting to know she wasn’t the only one how didn’t have America as her birth place.

He seemed to have quite a way over her and his first clue was her darkening cheeks. She was definitely a shy one, but he kind of liked that about her already. He smiled at her obvious excitement about the writing club, her joy seemed contagious. The writing club already had some perks, for one, Hotaru was joining, and second of all, his sister was already involved. Lastly, it could be a great way for him to meet some people and expand his extremely small circle of friends. Aside from Sunny and now Hotaru, he didn't really know anyone.

"Aye," he said before moving closer to the table. "I think I will." He glanced back at her, but she was looking down. "Something interesting down there?" He asked, still smiling. He wasn't sure how much to joke with her yet, it was something he was still assessing. He hoped his humor wouldn't scare her away. He might have to reel some of it back until they got to know each other a little better.​

Hotaru


When Eoin said he was joining the writing club, Hotaru smiled to herself. Would he be friend? Probably. She wasn’t one who knew how to make friends. Then she started talking out loud, whispering. She didn’t even realize she was doing it.

“So, are we friends now? I don’t know. I’ve never had a friend. He’s laughing..... that’s a good sign, right? Unless he’s laughing at me. Ugh.” Her whispers were cut short when Eoin threw a joke at her. For a moment, she though he was serious. Until she saw the look on his face. She smiled back, walking up to the table.

“Just my feet.” She said timidly, before looking at the sign up sheet. She whipped out her blue ball point pen, the pink slowly fading from her face. Now she was wishing she had just gone ahead and bought a phone instead of carrying around her notebook. That reminded her, she should ask for his number.

She looked around the campus, a slight fear creeping in. All of these people. She had fallen down during her first twenty minutes here, and everyone was so crowded. She wasn’t used to any of it. Her mother and father had named her Hotaru, meaning firefly, because they expected their child to be a social person. But that was difficult when they didn’t raise her with basic social skills, isn’t it? Hotaru’s mind moved a mile a minute, waiting for Eoin to write his name on the paper so she could write hers next.

Orion glanced at the Polaroid photo that she held up to show him, surprised at how pleasing it was. Had it been mostly black and white with a pop of color, it could fit in well with his own portfolio. Orion loved to take photos of a few different things including city skylines, nature, and people going throughout their normal routines and days. His semester project, however, focused on the combination of the extraordinary and the ordinary. Combined with his signature black and white photography, he thought the project would represent his vision the best.

Her voice speaking up once again brought Orion back from his thoughts, pulling his attention once again to her and the photo she held in her hand. "Photogenic, huh? I'm pretty sure you are the first one to ever say that about me. Then again, I'm usually the one behind the camera. So I haven't really given anyone the chance, I guess," Orion responded with a grin, watching her pocket the photo. He would have liked to keep it, but thought better of asking. She seemed to rather enjoy it as well, and it was her work after all.

Orion shook the hand that she held out to him, grinning slightly. He enjoyed her personality: straight-forward, bright, sassy, appearing to just generally not care what others thought of her. Rose seemed to be unique in her own right, and exuded positive energy. Orion liked that about her. He could tell that she was creative and had ideas that would make for amazing photos. Therefore, at the mention of a sign-up sheet for Photography Club, Orion paused to grab a tablet from his backpack. The screen lit to life in his hands, revealing a digital sign-up sheet for the club. "Name, number, and email, if you'd like to join," Orion began with a grin, "We meet twice a month, sometimes more depending on what projects we're working on."

Orion held out the tablet for Rose to fill out, hopeful that she would decide to join. He believed she would make a nice addition to the club, at the very least make the meetings more interesting. River, though an honorary member of Photography Club just because she helped at events like these, wasn't actually in the club. Though he was friends in the with everyone in the club, it would be interesting to have someone like Rose to talk to. His attention was drawn away from her by another girl who had approached their little group. He nodded a hello to her with a friendly smile. She was pretty, with a lean dancer's body and fiery red hair. Orion glanced back at River, curious how she would respond.

When she approached the table he felt relieved. She was someone he could joke with. He nodded before chuckling at her response. He leaned over the table and grabbed one of the pens before scribbling his name on the sheet of paper. There, done. He was officially signed up for the Writing Club. He stepped sideways so she could add her name to the list. There weren't many people signed up for the club, at least, not right now. There were still plenty of people here. His eyes scanned the crowd. Not one familiar face stuck out to him. Wait, maybe just one. He was pretty confident that a few guys at the table across from where he stood were in one of his classes. He frowned, he wasn't sure though, their faces seemed to run together.

He looked over at Hotaru. "Do you want to check out some more booths, together?" He asked. Everything was more enjoyable with company and he didn't want to stick around much longer if he was going to be by himself.​

River continued to work on her music as Orion talked to the new girl, her mind kind of in its own little world. Though studying and helping animals was her passion for a career, River had always felt a strong connection to music as a hobby and a means of self expression. She didn't have a great past, and music had always been there to pick her up when she was down. Growing up, River faced a lot of tough, dark times. Through her parents fighting and eventual divorce, the emotional, physical, and mental abuse from her mother, and her battles with addiction, River spent a large majority of her younger years in a world so dark, she didn't know if she would ever find her way out. She had been broken down so many times that it seemed impossible anything could put her back together again.

But, luckily, something did. River had always listened to music, whether it be through headphones to block out the screams of her arguing parents or on vinyl records spinning on her record player while she crammed for an exam after an overnight shift at work. It was something she could count on, something that was always there when she needed it. There was a song for every emotion, and gave her an outlet she could feel things she otherwise bottled up inside. Eventually, River took up guitar and began to play her own music. Though she hated talking about her past, not even Orion knowing about most of it, her lyrics were poems written to healthily cope with what she went through as a kid. It was one of the only healthy coping mechanisms she developed, and she clung to it.

After meeting Orion in college and forming their indie rock duo, Poppies, River finally felt like she had a voice again. Shaking those thoughts away, she came back to reality to notice Orion still talking to the girl with the Polaroid camera, whom River had learned was named Rose. River kept strumming chords and writing them down, erasing some and reorganizing them into a better melody. Eventually she had about a verse and a chorus worth of chords and lyrics that were far from perfect, but still fairly decent. She paused to write something down when a soft voice distracted her. Looking up, River met the gaze of another girl who had mentioned commissioning for Strings & Dance. The thought was interesting, but River was still unsure. "I don't know, I don't think my music is really what they are looking for," she responded, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.

Her grayish green eyes snapped up to meet his own blue ones, and she smiled softly. He was definitely a friend. She nodded, and her eyes glittered.

“Yes. That would be perfect.” She spoke soft, but not shy. She then stood up straight, holding her book behind her back. She wasn’t planning on joining any other clubs, unless their was an Archery or Martial Arts club, but she was willing to walk with him. She was definitely willing to hang out.​

One might say the blonde was intrigued by the rather laid-back brunette. Humble too, although... she didn't compliment him on his work yet, and she found herself curious about that too. "You should give them more chances then." She smiled, believe it or not. It was usually easy for the blonde to make friends, not that most of them lasted long though. There's maybe a handful of people she's still in touch with. Okay... maybe less than a handful. Which is... definitely her fault.

Once she decided to go to rehab, or more so forced into rehab, she kind of cut ties of whatever friends, or... non-friends, she hung out with. Carter was an exception obviously, he's family.The point was, Rose was okay with a fresh start. New people, new her, all that stuff.

Taking the tablet from him without a second thought. Photography Club sounded fun, and definitely more interesting than what she was learning from a certain teacher. Typing in her information rather quickly, within a few seconds she was done, gently pushing the tablet into his chest while his attention floated to another girl. "Name, number, email." Giving him a nod, she chewed the inside of her cheek as she eyed him curiously. He wasn't like the guys she'd usually go for,

not that she's planning on going for him... but like she said earlier, she was intrigued. Rose reached into her bag and pulled out a pen, glancing around as if she was searching for something. She wouldn't be surprised if a lightbulb suddenly appeared on top of her head, pulling the photo she'd recently took of him, flipping it over and swiftly began to jot things down.

Her smile widened as she pushed the photo into his chest as well. "My name, number, and email, not for club use. Although I don't recommend you use the email, seeing as though we're such 'young whippersnappers,' of course."

"Well, I'm looking forward to hopefully meeting a bit more than twice a month. Maybe we could work on our own project. Maybe... it was nice to meet you." She raised both of her eyebrows, adjusting her bag over her shoulder. The blonde gave him a shrug for a goodbye, walking away from Orion with a last glance, a small grin playing on her face.

Hey, look at that. She was apart of a club now. Cool.​

One thing he learned about college was that it was almost like being a kid again. It didn't take long to make a new friend, once a conversation was started. He hadn't noticed the green in her eyes before. When the sun was set at this specific angle, it made the green sparkle in those grey pools of hers. Crap, he was staring. "Great," he said with a smile. "Have you come across any other interesting clubs?" He hadn't been here long before he saw her fall and he only saw a few clubs of slight interest.

He moved away from the writing club. He'd tell his sister he joined later. He didn't think she'd mind, as long as he didn't tell her the reason behind why he joined. Hmm, what was she up to anyway? It felt like it had been a long time since he last saw her, but it couldn't have been more than a few days. "What brought you to Atlantic University?" He asked. Part of the reason he came was to try something new and America seemed to offer it. Plus, with his sisters scholarship, it opened up more opportunity for him to go somewhere a little farther away from home; less money was tied up allowing him to stretch his wings liked he'd been wanting to do.​

Hotaru speed up, keeping in pace with the red haired man she had just met. She tried not to melt when their eyes had met; his eyes were a fan fiction blue.

“No, not yet. Although if there is a archery club that would be nice.” Hotaru spoke confidently, tilting her head to the side slightly. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, before looking to Eoin. “As for why I came..... I...” Hotaru hesitated. Tell him that her parents forced her to be a buisness women, regardless of her lack of interest, or that she really liked the college for it success rate and she wanted to get away from Japan.

“Well, I’m going to be a international business major, and the success rate of this school is really high. Besides, it’s a change of scenery and I’ll need to be accustomed to working with one of the biggest buisness country’s in the world.” There. Not a lie, but not disclosing anything she wasn’t ready to talk about either.

Hotaru took a deep breath. She had some random burst of insane courage, and asked a single question. Her accent thickened a little, but not to where he couldn’t understand her.

“Can I have your number?” Welp. That’s it. Her parents were sending her back to Japan now.​

Eoin slid his hands into his pocket before glancing over at her. "Archery? Cool," he said nodding. He dabbled in archery a bit as a kid, but decided to stick with lacrosse; it was his favourite sport after all and another reason he picked this school. He smiled at her answer. "I see why you chose that major." He chuckled. "Your response was very business-minded." He glanced around at the campus before him, students gathered around tables on the left and right. Some tables were bare and the people sitting at them looked bored, each had their face in their phone. Yet, the campus itself was nice. It wasn't anything grand, but it's simplicity was appealing.

"A change of scenery is always nice." Coming here was different than Ireland. Definitely not what he was used to, but that's one aspect he enjoyed. He loved Ireland and always would, but his heart desired to explore a bit. His parents were happy with their small town, but he wanted to branch out and taste what else life had to offer. His blue eyes snapped in her direction. "Of course," he said. "As if I'd let you get away without getting yours." He stopped walking and pulled out his phone. "May I be so bold as to ask where you're from?" They'd reached a new level and moved beyond acquaintances, at least that was his impression.​

The gray-green eyed girl gave a sigh of obvious relief, as Eoin said he’d exchange numbers with her. But when he asked for her number she looked at the ground and blushed, fumbling with her notebook.

“I.... uh. Oh, this is awkward...” Her confidence had all but left her, and her posture went from excited to nervous. She really hadn’t planned on letting anyone know this until next week, when she actually bought a phone. Her aunt didn’t have a landline, either. “I don’t have a phone.” Her voice was timid, and she seemed pretty embarrassed by it.

“And, I’m Japanese.” There. That was said with confidence.​
