Nuri was later than she meant to be. Since it was the first official day, she'd slept in rollers and spent extra time on her hair and make-up. She didn't care for the uniform provided, but she tried to make the best of it. She pulled her curls back on the sides with wide barrettes and played up her eyes with a shimmering green eyeshadow just a few shades lighter than her eyes. She fussed until it was perfect, which meant that she only had time to grab some kind of yogurt smoothie drink in the cafeteria before following everyone out for orientation.

She looked around for someone she recognized. She saw little Adelaide's bright and shining hair in the very front of the line as everyone filed away to orientation. To her disappointment, she didn't spot the exotic dready boy, Wes, whose company she'd very much enjoyed. She didn't recognize anyone else, so she just smiled at those around her and double-checked her stock of pens and pencils.
