Realistic or Modern Sunny Meadows School Of The Arts

Letting out a sigh and he closed his eyes and began to rub his eyelids as he began to slowly walk back towards Elizabeth, and Anastasia. Once he had returned back to the groups he opened his eyes and gazed down at Elizabeth for a mere moment before looking back up at Anastasia. " Well that went over well.." With the scarcasm dripping from his voice he'd close his eyes once more and shook his head. He knew that she would be back, or at least he hoped so. With his eyes focused on Anastasia he frowned and spoke with a mild tone of voice " I hate to ask this of you so early Anastasia will you please go calm her down? Tell her I'll be back within the hour." Chazlee knew this was his fault, but he had a task to complete. It was sad to admit but he was an over achiever and a workaholic. With that same point he couldn't relax as much as he did without working hard. His eyes went over to Elizabeth, who currently he had mixed emotions over. One could say that it was technically Elizabeth's fault,but he knew she had zero knowledge of her actions. This was a typical thing that most freshmen learned later on in life. While the upset and enraged man within him wanted to scald and ridicule Elizabeth for her blatant stupidity, and utter ignorance, he knew that was not the solution to this situation. The main solution was to simply finish the tour. Move on with his life and to not repress on the past. This whole tour would be complete soon enough, and Elizabeth would soon forget about him and go eye candy another freshmen. She was a theater student, they were the cheerleaders of this school, so she'd most likely be picked up within the week. Then his phone began to go off in his pocket. It was a text as indicated by the ringtone going off. Pulling out his phone he quickly unlocked the phone and stared at the screen reading the text message. It was from Natalie, which was a plus. She left him an open ended statement, which he knew she herself could easily answer. " What do you need me for?" The more he read that message the more of a slap in the half he felt, and it continued to sting more and more. But the answer he had for Natalie would defintely make her rethink why she left. Within a few minutes his fingers went to work typing what his mind felt was what was needed to be said. He wrote back to her "Well Natalie, I need you so that we can finally finish that Tv series you always wanted to watch. I need you to fill that empty seat Infront of me for the dinner reservation I made for us tonight. I need you for pretty much everything. Their isn't anything that I don't need you for. So will you please come back down?" Once he finished the messaged and hit the send button, his finger moved towards the lock button and gingerly tapped it as his phone locked itself. His eyes then moved from the ground lifting his head with it to look at Anastasia. "She'll be back soon enough. Trust me." His voice carried a mild tone as he looked out and exhaled. It was about time for him wrap this tour up, and he was definitely ready to get it over with. " Are you ready to go check in Elizabeth?" His eyes glanced over towards her waiting for an answer as he rubbed his shoulder.


(Alright everyone I'm getting on the road! I'll see everyone sometime tonight. Have a marvelous day and try not to leave me too many posts to read D: or I may criez)
 
"That's okay, and cool," Gio replied tapping the table. "I'm working on one. Just need some vocals, and I'm pretty much set." He looked around then looked back. Wonder what else I should add to it? he thought, tapping his foot on the ground. "Douche pants? That's a new one," he said, chuckling a bit.


I am a dolphin.


Also, sent from Atlantis using a shellphone.
 
(Thanks everyone! Ya'll are awesome! Just got home as safely as possible (Stupid Florida panhandle drivers who don't know how to drive) I'm sorry for being an inconvenience D: but atleast I won't be driving anywhere that far for AWHILE. I would send everyone cookies and donuts but that would be too expensive in shipping ;-; so please take my over the internet hugs and praise as payment :D )
 
Anastasia's mind was whirling with thoughts. Of course she had wanted to go and comfort Natalie, but she had slipped off too soon leaving the trio in a confused and angered state. Considering how close they were, Anastasia knew to let Natalie have some alone time. She was probably up in her room painting to relieve the stress. Anastasia's eyes drifted back over to Chazlee, who was typing fervently on his phone. She had a multitude of questions and was desperate to ask them but she kept her mouth shut. The time was not right. She then took a look at Elizabeth, who looked as if she were about to cry. This was the opposite of how she expected her homecoming to be.


Honestly, Anastasia wasn't too angry at her. Yes, it was uncalled for and slightly rude, but everyone messes up sometimes. At least she hadn't straight up insulted her. It could have been way worse.


"Hey, I'm going to go check on Natalie," she said after a few minutes of awkward silence,"do you want to come too, Elizabeth? you know, to apologize,''
 

~Elizabeth Cecil~

Elizabeth had been caught in between a rock and a hard place and all over a stupid comment she made. They're seriously over reacting. When Chazlee returned Elizabeth could tell he was boiling with anger on the inside. Was this all her fault? The way she saw it, Natalie walked away because of Chazlee's comment about taking care of Elizabeth, but with Elizabeth being the new one it was easier to just blame her. "Well that went over well..." The sarcasm in his voice was clearly obvious which made Elizabeth wince. She didn't remember ever making anyone this mad before.

I should have just done this on my own. I don't need someone to hold my hand through the first day. I'm better off alone. I was always better off alone. No friends equals no drama. No messes. No one gets hurt. Elizabeth heard Chazlee ask if she was ready to go and, soon after, she heard Anastasia saying Elizabeth should go apologize. Anger bubbled up inside Elizabeth. Me? Apologize? I didn't do anything to her! On the contrary I'm trying to stay away from this guy cause for some sick reason she finds me a threat. Elizabeth looked at Anastasia. She spoke as politely as she possibly could "I don't think have anything to apologize for, but if a stranger's apology is what Natalie's best friend thinks she needs, then by all means take me to her."

Elizabeth looked over at Chazlee with a blank expression. How did things get messy so fast? All I did was try to make friends and now...well now I'm just trying really hard not to make a bigger scene than it already is. "Chazlee can you show me to my room first? I want to drop off my stuff before going to Natalie's." Elizabeth would have gone on her own if she'd known where the room was, but unfortunately, she had to depend on someone else to walk her around. As if she wasn't humiliated enough already.​
 
Natalie was working on it, her best work seemed to come out of being sad. At least the portrait of her old dog Badger, hanging above her bed proved it. She had to leave the sweetest, cutest dog to come here, and she literally cried over it. She got so attached to him, and then it was over. She painted it clear, it was a painting of the picture she took of him eating a dandelion weed with the little white seed stuck to his lips. She had paintings all over her room, and there really was no theme, just things she thought were interesting. From wine glasses to animals to even flowers. She had even done work for the school , some of which had the top spot in the hallways. Her dream was too travel all over the world, Italy, Paris, even New York, and get the best places for inspiration.


Among the painting, and her getting really lost in her work, listening to her music with the stereo just a little loud, she barely heard her *Beep* that went off as Chazlee had texted her, she put her stuff down and stared at it with a blank face. "What the Hell is he doing?" she asked herself aloud. She wasn't crazy right? She had seen the way that he had looked at Elizabeth, and even Anastasia, and she wasn't going to hold it against him, he would have been happy for him no matter what, even if no one believed her. That's when her mind went to a bad place. "Oh no.. it's a pitty date!" she said, laying back on her bed. She sighed out and waited on responding until she thought all of this through. "I can't go now that I know right? I mean, what's he gonna do? Oh I'm sorry we can never be together because I'll never like you like that, here, have some bread" She said, doing a less than good impersonation of Chazlee.


She finally grabbed her phone and texted him back. "Oh? The show and dinner, yeah, that sounds good. I'll see you tonight" she replied. Playing hard to get wasn't exactly Natalie's thing, but maybe Chazlee wanted to play the game, maybe after she left, he had missed her just a tad bit. Emily went back to her portrait of a wilted white rose in a red vase, that she actually had sitting up right in front of her, the little details drove her nuts, every little light speckle, every spot of the petals, fold in that flower, all of that and more, had to be replicated at least almost perfectly for her to even consider being happy with it or hanging it on her wall.


 
(Pfft! @Mendaian you try living in the city in Tennessee that I live in, and you'll see some horrible driving.. like.. you don't even knowwww :o )
 
Although she had just met this girl, Anastasia could already tell this girl was an open book. Her emotions were very readable and it was obvious she was pissed off. This year was already starting off so splendidly. Note the sarcasm. Last year had been totally drama free for the girl and Anastasia had never had to deal with any messes. And thats just the way she liked it due to her hard to control temper. Actually, she was quite surprised by how well she was keeping her cool right now. If she had known these people better, she'd most likely be blowing steam everywhere.


It honestly wasn't Ana's intention to piss Elizabeth off she just thought everything would be better with an apology. She couldn't blame Chazlee either- he hadn't known saying that would effect Natalie. It made Anastasia wonder how much he actually knew. But, on the flip side Natalie had overreacted slightly. Anastasia let out a frustrated groan. She had no clue who was at fault or even what was going on now. Was Natalie mad because Elizabeth had a thing for Chaz or was she mad Chaz would rather spend time with Elizabeth? Did Elizabeth actually feel something for Chazlee or was Ana imagining things.


"Chazlee can you show me to my room first?'' she heard Elizabeth say. She groaned. Well, that proved that.


"Actually, forget it. I think it'd be more helpful if i went alone," she said, trying to keep the harshness in her voice to a minimum. With that, she whirled around and started on her way to Natalie's bedroom, then stopped short. She had no clue which dorm Natalie was in this year. She figured it would be in the free dorms with the painting students but she didn't know the exact number.


As she was walking through the cafeteria towards the art dorms, she could of sworn she saw a head of familiar blonde hair but she wasn't sure. Not wanting to find out, she made her way into the dorms wandering around aimlessly and hoping that would get her somewhere.
 
While Natalie was painting she had accidentally left her door open slightly and as she got up to close it, she saw Ana walking around aimlessly. "Ana?" she asked with her brows furrowed in confusion.
 
Chazlee looked towards the sky and let out a sigh, he had been ready to get this tour over with before it even began. Yet it seemed that more and more bumps in the plans became more and more evident. While this was the now third or fourth time he had asked Elizabeth whether she was ready or not, and every time something seemed to come up. This time it was Anastasia, who seemed to believe she had solution to all the problems which he, Elizabeth, and Natalie had between them. While he could appreciate the fact Anastasia did know plenty about Natalie and what her like and dislikes, but it was time to move on. "Give it a break Anna… The girl does not want to go with you, nor does she want to apologize for doing anything wrong. This was simply a problem cause by lack of communication causing a miscommunication…" He let his thought wonder on about how he was going to deal not only with this current situation but the rest the night. He needed to call in a few favors which he had not expected to use so soon, but he had already set the gears in motion. "Please do that Anastasia, however for Elizabeth's back sake it is best that I take her to her room. Speaking of the girl his eyes glanced over towards her and he began to frown "What a s__tty way to start your first day of High school. Being the center of all the blame for a simple miscommunication." While there still was anger bubbling within him about what had happened he began to feel for the poor freshmen.


With his eyes locked on Elizabeth as he frowned and began to tune out Anastasia, as he had simply had enough of her for a single day. Since he had simply nothing better to do than simply stay quiet and wait for Anastasia to make up her mind on what decision she was wanting to make, he studied Elizabeth's facial emotions. The girl definitely was not keen on hiding her emotions from those who knew how to read them. The girl was definitely upset, tired, and beyond annoyed. When Anastasia mention an apology tho seemed to set the poor girl off even more. Rage now ensued on her face as it looked as if she was nearly snarling her lip. Yet a simply and well controlled counter statement came from her mouth vice one of anger and repressed rage. Once she had completed her statement he watched as she stared into his eyes as he stared back at his. Her stare; blank and now masking her emotions, her eyes seeming to plead to just get out of the situation. With a calm and collective demeanor she asked if he could take her to her room. By this point he needed to get away just as much as she wanted to. " Of course Elizabeth, Lets get a move on. "


Just as he stood up to begin helping Elizabeth with her belongings Anastasia was now deep in thought. To Chazlee he had an idea of what she had thinking about, but had no reason to even begin asking. Walking over to Elizabeth and grabbing one of her bags, he'd give her a meek smile nodded that things were going to get better. With a groan of slight pain escaping his mouth he began to make his way towards Ana who stood in his direct path, towards the doors. However before going around her he stopped and gently patted her should as she decided that she was going to go alone to calm down Natalie. " You do that Ana, I know you'll help her. I apologize for being so pessimistic right now, but I have a lot of my mind, just as you do. I'll see you tonight." As he walked past her he looked back and sighed. "What a day it has been…" He thought to himself as he reached into his jacket pocket pulling out a large manilla folder. Holding the Manilla folder up to the door as it began to open in front of him. Using his back of open the door up fully so that Elizabeth could simply walk right in. Normally he would not be allowed into a female's dorm's but since he had to show elizabeth to her dorm he was able to null that little rule.
 
While Ana and Natalie were talking, she was getting more confused, hurt, and a little pissed off. They blamed her for over reacting? All she did was excuse herself in a polite manner. She rolled her eyes. "Well thank Ana, I'm so glad we're best friends" she said, resting her head on Ana's shoulder but getting up shortly thereafter. She looked at Ana with a sigh. "I can't believe everyone's pissed because I excused myself, I suppose if I were really sick and about to blow chunks everywhere that I would be over reacting if I excused myself as well" she said with yet another eye roll. "Well.." she said with a sigh. "I'm going to find them and try to apologize, even though I really don't feel like I should, and you are more than welcome to come babe" she said and with that, walked out of her room.


She had seen the papers for Elizabeth and knew where her dorm was, she walked straight there and found them, just getting there. "hey" she told them softly. "Listen Elizabeth.. I don't really feel like I over reacted, seeing as all I did was politely excuse myself, but if you feel like I was mean to you or anything today, than I do apologize for that. I'm very anti bully, and it's never my intention to make someone feel bad, unless we're in an argument" she said. "So tell me, did I not make you feel welcome? Was I mean to you? Because I really tried to make you feel very included and secure here, and I thought my trying was obvious to everybody" she said. She was still a little pissed off, but as she spoke, she started to soften up.
 

~Elizabeth Cecil~

Elizabeth felt Chazlee's eyes on her. Oh no Mr. Charming. Don't you dare look at me with those gorgeous eyes of yours. You and your big eyes need too look some- Elizabeth couldn't help herself and turned to look at Chazlee hating herself for giving in. She was sure that Anastasia would be judging this simple glance and telling Natalie the first chance she got. Elizabeth gave Chazlee an apologetic glance that begged him to forgive her for such a mess she was causing. I said I wouldn't be a nuisance and what am I being? A nuisance. I'm sorry for making this harder than it really is. You should have just been like the rest of the upperclassmen and ditched me when you had the chance. Dammit Chazlee!

When Anastasia made up her mind she left Elizabeth feeling like poop once more. "Actually, forget it. I think it'd be more helpful if i went alone," Elizabeth fought herself hard on not rolling her eyes once more. Yes do that princess because both you and I know Natalie needs a friend right now. Not me. Why would you even think for a second that she'd want to see me? Me who is apparently causing problems by just being here. Elizabeth's ranting mind went on and on until she had enough and by the looks of it Chazlee did also. She could tell he was as irked by this situation as she was and, like Elizabeth, thought Anastasia wasn't really making things any better. Who could blame the girl though, she, like Elizabeth, just got here and is just trying to reconnect with her long lost friend.

Elizabeth looked back at Chazlee silently urging him to respond to her question about taking her to her dorm. "Of course Elizabeth. Lets get a move on." Elizabeth let out a relieved sigh and closed her trying to put all this behind her, to tear out the page and start anew. As Elizabeth opened her eyes she saw Chazlee taking one of her bag. "Oh you don't have --thank you." Elizabeth grabbed the rest of her bags noticing his reassuring smile from the corner of her eye. Thank for getting me out of this Chazlee. I owe you big time. Elizabeth followed Chazlee giving Anastasia an apologetic smile before disappearing through the door.

Elizabeth kept quiet the small walk through the hall. She wasn't sure if she should have said something or if keeping quiet was the smartest thing at the moment. She was sure, however, that this might be brought up again in the future. When they arrived to room Chazlee held the door open for her. A very gentlemanly move which she greatly appreciated, especially after all that had happened. It was nice to see someone being kind even if it was just an act. "Thanks." She muttered and stepped into the empty room. Elizabeth dropped her bags on the squeaky spring bed and looked back at Chazlee. "You can just leave that where ever." Elizabeth opened one of her bags and took out a small picture frame with her theater friends. Elizabeth smiled slightly thinking about how much she had wanted to be here and now she just wanted to get out. "High school...guess it is as horrible as everyone claims."

The voice of Natalie at the door startled Elizabeth. She hadn't heard her come in. Natalie began speaking and, to what Elizabeth felt like, almost rambling. Elizabeth listened to every words Natalie had to say. "I don't feel like I overreacted...all I did was politely excuse myself...if you feel like i was mean to you...I apologize for that...it's never my intention to make someone feel bad...Did I make you feel welcomed...was I mean to you...I really tried to make you feel included and secure here..." All Elizabeth did for a moment was stare at the red haired girl. She looked down at her feet and whispered, "No..."

"No Natalie...you didn't make me feel welcomed." There was a slight moment of silence before Elizabeth resumed talking. "No, you haven't been mean either. You've been everything but mean and I think that's you overcompensating." Elizabeth took a deep breath thinking about her next words very carefully. She didn't want to say something that would hurt Natalie, but she wasn't going to keep her mouth shut and lie. "I can feel you don't like me very much. You've been faking smiles and looking at me as if I'm taking something away from you. You might be trying to make me feel included by introducing me to your friends and stuff, and I appreciate it, but the way you were so quick to dismiss me to hang out with your friend kind of hurt. Sure I understand she's your friend and all, but you could have been a bit more subtle." Elizabeth hadn't meant to say that last part. She had let the moment take the best of her. Well if the cat's out of the bag might as well..."And as for you walking out...even if you did it in a polite way you did over react. There was no reason for you to walk out over a stupid comment Cha...Over a stupid comment I made." Elizabeth gave Natalie a look that said she knew she had walked away because of Chazlee's taking care of her comment and she was completely sorry for that. "I know you're trying Natalie...I really appreciate you doing so, but in reality...I've never felt anymore unwelcomed than I did before I bumped into you guys."

Elizabeth lowered her head feeling ashamed for what she had just said, but it was the truth. In the short time she had been there, Elizabeth had to suppress herself to not talk to a guy because she didn't want to upset anyone, she was judged for literally speaking her mind, and she was being attacked in her own room. Elizabeth was being pushed back into the person she used to be, insecure and invisible.​

As Anastasia and Natalie continued to chat about everything that had happened, it was apparent that Natalie felt she was to blame for overreacting. Anastasia herself had come to the conclusion that they were all to blame. None of them had meant any harm at all. Chazlee had just upset Natalie by spending time with Elizabeth, Elizabeth had upset Natalie by speaking too quickly and being around Natalie, and Natalie had upset the both of them by leaving so suddenly. And Anastasia? With a sudden realization, she realized she had been a major catalyst in this bitter miscommunication. If she could just keep her big mouth shut, maybe the trio would've worked things out. She sighed heavily. Everyone had been perfectly fine until Anastasia had arrived.


She smoothed down her best friends hair, giving her comforting words. Anastasia had always been a good listener and while most people found it tedious, she did not mind comforting people. Her eyes wandered around the room, staring at the beautifully detailed paintings her friend had created. "Of course, I'll go with you," she said, getting up and following her. She had her own apologzing to do as well.


As they entered Elizabeth's dorm room, Anastasia noticed that they were in the theatre dorms. Lovely, she thought. She desperately needed another theatre talent to hate her. Anastasia listened in silence as Natalie gave her apology, making awkward eye contact with Chazlee and Elizabeth. As much as she wanted to speak up and get her apology out of the way she decided to let Nat and Elizabeth talk first. Just in case.

(wow sorry lol i have no clue why it posted twice! and I'm not very good with technology for a millennial era teenager, so i have no clue how to delete it >-< )
 
(Hahaha I just love you @goodvibes ))


 
Natalie looked... shocked to say the least. 'I've been nothing but mean?' she thought to herself and accidentally scoffed out loud. Who was over reacting now? She waited for Elizabeth to say all she needed to get out and then looked down and back up at her again. "Listen" she spoke softly. "I'm sorry that I kind of ditched to hang out with Anastasia, but she's my best friend, and I haven't seen her in forever" she said, trying to defend herself at least a little. "But I didn't over react, all I did was politely excuse myself, you're going to have to get used to people excusing themselves Elizabeth, because chances are you're not going to have someone around you 24/7, everybody is alone sometimes, I don't feel like I've done anything wrong to you" she said with a rather harsh tone, but then took it down a few notches.


"Yeah, I admit it, I was faking smiles, and trying to be nice, but that's exactly the point, I was trying to be nice to you" she said. "I've never been one to bully or put others down, I could tell you were uncomfortable with me, and I still don't understand why, but" she said, sighing. ""That's not my problem, if you feel like I was harsh or unwelcoming or mean to you, then that's your deal, because I've talked to you, I've tried to welcome you with open arms, Hell, when you practically attacked us when we saw you, I even hugged you back after the initial shock, because I decided I was going to give you a fair chance, and that's exactly what I did, and if you still don't like me, or don't feel comfortable around me, then I'll just leave you alone" she said, walking towards the door and turning around. "I hope you like it here, and I hope that we can just, be civil" she said sincerely, and looked at Chazlee. "I'll see you tonight" she said, giving him a quick smile and heading out the door with light footsteps, so her actions wouldn't be misunderstood again.
 
Anastasia stood at the doorway in shock, her eyes going back and forth between the two bickering girls as if watching a tennis match. Despite the easygoing tone in their voices, their words were harsh and even left Anastasia stinging. A dead silence fell over the room as Natalie spun on her heels and exited the room. Anastasia had expected the two girls to come to an agreement and everything would be okay, but that was obviously not the case.


"Well...," she said, glancing back at Elizabeth and Chazlee,"I am truly sorry, you guys. We obviously got off on the wrong foot and if I'm honest, all of us are in the wrong. This is just a huge, confusing misunderstanding. I hope we can somehow sort this out..," she said drifting out and spinning around to follow Natalie. As much as she loved her friend, she just wanted to chat with her a little and then get some fresh air. This was more than enough activity for one day.
 
Blyth giggled a little and looked down "I dont know, ot was the first thing that came to mind" she smiled brightly at Gio "uhmmm I'm good at singing" she hinted before standing up and going to grab a cookie. She sat back at the table and bit a little bit off the cookie to not look like a slob, but shot a glare at James' comment; "why are you eating so slow? You would have devoured that cookie at home" he laughed.


"I am not a pig" she said back to him and he just replies with, "yea yea. Oink oink" which resulted in him getting elbowed in the ribs.


@Dolphan of Lyfe
 
Natalie turned back to Anastasia, clearly still pissed as they exited the dorms building. "I've been nice to her Anastasia! What the Hell? How did i turn into the bitch?" She asked, rambling on. She was never misunderstood as being mean before, so she really didn't know how to take this
 
Anastasia frowned slightly. She honestly did not want to make any wrong assumptions, but she had a feeling Elizabeth was slightly jealous and thats why she hadn't really started off well between the two. But, she didn't want to say that. It would only dampen Natalie's mood.


"Don't worry about it, Nat. Just put it in the past. Not everyone is going to realize how amazing you are," she said, wrapping her best friends body in a hug. "Now, you go get ready for tonight and i'm going to put my stuff away,"
 
(Huh @Dannygirl900 ?)


Natalie smiled at her best friend doing her best to console her and giggled, wrapping her arms back around her. "Wait, Ana, can I come with you to put your stuff away and then you can help me get ready for tonight? You know if I don't get your advice I'm going to get frustrated with how fat I look in everything and call him and cancel" she said
 
Once they had arrived within Elizabeth's room Chazlee couldn't help but actually realize that Elizabeth had actually packed quite… lightly. While the school did provide several several different creature comforts such as a mini fridge, a microwave, internet, etc. But everyone had to personalize their rooms to make them feel more like home. He remembered when he had first moved into the dorms at Sunny Meadow. He had told himself that he would live lightly that way he could pack up quickly and leave if anything ever went wrong. Yet he threw that motto out the window once he fell in love with the school and its instructors. His eyes looks around at the barren white walls, which seemed to be only good at bouncing sound around. " Man this room has some of the crappiest acoustics i've ever heard.." His voice echoed as he spoke, and began to frown. "This was beginning to turn out to be a very very horrible day not only for Elizabeth, but for me as well.. If I didn't have plans I'd just go curl up in bed.." As he thought to himself his eyes looked down to see Elizabeth walk into the room, which had half way surprised him. He had not been prepared for her to come in so quickly. His frown immediately was forced into a smile, as he knew he couldn't show his actually emotions around Elizabeth at this very moment in him. With her entrance came the remaining few bags of luggage which she had brought with her. Closing his eyes in order to try and escape this reality for a moment, but was forced to open his eyes and keep his attention on Elizabeth as she began to speak in a very soft tone of voice. If it wasn't for the echo from the room his ears would definitely not be able to pick up what she was saying. Making out the words "But that anywhere he'd nod and gently set down the bag he was holding on her bed, which made a large depression in the mattress of the bed. As he did he couldn't help but allow his eyes to pry on the small framed photo in which he had pulled out of her suitcase. As she reminisced on her old memories Chazlee listened to her speak again, about the reputation many gave high school saying it was a Hell hole or an abysmal place. " Well Elizabeth, things will get better,this is only your first day, you've still got plenty more time to turn this again..! Trust me my first day was actually worse than this… Just give it time.. " While his response was quite clichéd it was the sad truth. That was a time which he did not wish to ponder very long on, but that was a tale for another day. Once her let go of her bag he pulled out the manilla envelope and gently placed it on her nightstand, and looked back towards her. " I'll leave this here for you, It has everything you need inside of it including your room key, your official schedule, and such. Oh and before I forget here.." He pulled out a pen from his pocket and wrote on the front of the folder his cell phone number. As he turned back around to face her he gave her a small smile and sighed. " If you never need anything, I mean anything don't hesitate to call or text me. I'll do what I can to make sure not else goes wrong for you.."


Just as he finished speaking his eyes darted over to the door where the sound of footsteps came closer and closer. As the steps grew louder and louder Chazlee crossed his arms across his chest and stared down the doorway. He had an idea of whom would be in the freshmen theater hall at this time, but that was only an idea. If his theory was to come true, then he knew this would not end well at all, only extenuate the problem at hand. Before he could warn Elizabeth of her new "guests" it was too late. Coming through the doorway was Natalie, and Anastasia. " and soo it begins… Great.." Chazlee knew he wanted no part of this battle which was going to in sue, and he knew that this argument could get ugly real quick. In his heart he hoped both girls would simply let this go, and both move on with their respective lives, however that was asking a lot from each of them. He knew that Natalie could be quite passive aggressive at time, which did not mix very well with her fiery personality. Then their was Elizabeth, while he had just meet her, she showed her emotions as if it was her greatest trait. The girl was like an open book and showed several signs of anger and a more aggressive side. Looking over into natalie's eyes he begged her not to start this, he wanted to stopped this before it could ever start, but it was already too late when Natalie opened her mouth and quietly said "Hey" to everyone. This was a flaw in Natalie which he wished she could understand, she was a stickler for going too far and not letting things go. The more he listened to Natalie speak on her latter actions from well over ten minutes ago, the more he heard her tone shift to a pissed off tone. She was more upset on why she had to apologize for her actions, when she blamed Elizabeth for being the catalyst for the miscommunication. Just as Natalie finished with her closing statement to defend her case Elizabeth began to take up the offensive, to bash all the "facts" Natalie set to be truth about the situation. At first Elizabeth was yet again calm and collected, she seemed to have a good control over her emotions, but as her eyes gave away she was quickly loosing her cool as the words of Natalie stewed in her mind. With the phrase "….but you could have been a bit more subtle" Chazlee knew it was over, Elizabeth was about to do something he believed she would soon regret, and only stoke the flame which burned within both Natalie and Elizabeth. What came next out of Elizabeth was a low blow to him, and began to ignite a flame within his own heart. The more and more he heard Elizabeth talk the more he wanted to stop her and shut her mouth. " What right to you have to talk?!I thought you were better than that Elizabeth… Low blow girl… Low.. Blow.." As he allowed his own thought to run wild in his head, he found it better to keep his mouth shut, and his arms crossed. He did not have a reason to become involved as he was not the one who instigated the argument. His eyes moved away from Elizabeth, and returned towards Natalie, he knew after that last barrage of insults and degrading remarks, Natalie had something to say in return and Chazlee was not disappointed when she spoke up again. While Elizabeth spoke some truth, Natalie spoke from her heart to back her actions, and it made him almost wonder about her. As the argument began to die down, his eyes looked over towards Anastasia and wondered when she would intervene for Natalie. Just as he did so however the argument was over, it ended in a manner which Chazlee did not see coming. Natalie being the Upperclassman and the bigger person and walked away once her position was stated, defended and proven to be the more accurate and correct position. Before she left however Natalie broke his oath of silence and the silence within the tense room with a simple phrase "I'll see you tonight."He couldn't help but answer, with a simple nod and " Mhm, I'll be waiting for you." With a smile on his face his attention turned towards Anastasia as she found it to be her to speak as she began apologizing; something no one really wanted to hear right now. With Anastasia's voice tapering off as she felt it was time to leave, and just as he suspected she left. With a turn of her heels and a simply followed behind Natalie.


Allowing for the smoke to clear and the emotions to begin to calm down. Chazlee looked over at Elizabeth and let out a deep exhale through his nose. He knew Elizabeth was most likely on the verge of snapping at anyone who so much at looked at her. However he had no fear of the freshmen, while a fire had been lit within him, he quickly extinguished the flame and began to wonder what the best way to calm the situation down more. " Thank you for doing that Elizabeth." His voice was soft at first and then gently grew in volume. He had no reason to degrade Elizabeth even longer she had merely been a scapegoat for someone else mistake. That person being Chazlee. Consciously he knew what he had said was what tipped Natalie over the edge, but it wasn't without prior knowledge of her own emotional jealousy. Turning back towards the Manilla folder he pulled his pen once again, and began writing on it yet again. This time above his number he wrote his Studio Apartment's address along with the note of "If you ever need an escape from campus go here." While he never offered anyone not even Natalie sanctuary within his private apartment, it was the least he could do for the poor girl. At least that way if she caught him when he was there, he could also show her the city life. Once he was done writing what he needed to write he turned back to her and rubbed his forehead. " I know I am the last person you want to be around, but do you any other help. And please do not worry about Natalie, I will take care of her." His voice and eyes showed tones and aspects of wanting to make things work. He truly did feel sorry for her, and he began to walk over towards her and gently hugged her. He did fear what she would do as he hugged her, but he knew it had to be done not to mention she could simply deal with it, she had already done it to him today.
 
Anastasia cracked an actual smile for the first time in a while and rolled her eyes playfully,''Fat my ass,'' she grinned,''you're tiny, Natalie, hush," Despite her teasing voice, Anastasia agreed to help her best friend out. If there was one thing that could take the girls mind off of anything, it was fashion. And boys, but that was the last thing she wanted to talk about at the moment.


"C'mon cutie,'' she said, dragging her friend through the crowded halls towards the theatre dorms. On the way, she stopped and grabbed her luggage which she had accidentally abandoned in the frenzy. The girls wandered through the halls, in search of Ana's new dorm. When they finally found it, she scanned it quickly before tossing her bags in. With its depressing prison-like walls and empty tile floors, it wasn't much, but it was a place to call home. After she had locked the door and memorized her number, they took off again- this time towards Nat's dorm.


When the girls reached Natalie's dorm, Anastasia made sure to make a mental note of the room number- she wouldn't forget this time. As soon as they walked in, Anastasia plopped down on her bed- just as she had always done in the past. "Did you know you're extraordinarily talented?" she said, mesmerized by the details and beauty in Nat's paintings.
 
Natalie and Ana walked to her dorm and as much as she wanted to stay in Elizabeth's dorm and clear the air, kind of, start over ne, she kne that wasn't going to happen right now. 'Maybe in a week or two' she thought. Thank God she hadn't so she wouldn't see him give her his number and studio address. She wanted to argue with Ana's tiny comment but didn't feel like getting into that right now. "Okay, maybe to everyone else I'm "tiny", she said with the help of air quotes. "But you know how I am when I'm about to go on a date, it's literally the worst" she said and looked through her closet. She peeked her head out for a moment to look at her paintings that Ana was admiring. "Oh, I don't think so, like the one of my dog, I could have done so much better, but thanks babe" she said. It was the artists curse, she was extremely over critical of her work.


She pulled out a black lace dress that came to about mid thigh and had long lace sleeves and a pair of red heels. "What about this?" she asked, turning around, lace was practically her favorite thing in the world. The dress was her favorite, hugging her small curves just right, she wanted to wear something to drive him crazy, then maybe they could forget about this Elizabeth nonsense and finally focus on each other.
