Claire looked at the girl who had announced herself as Jade. She set the dress back in her suitcase, and walked over to her, extending her hand. "Claire Rossi, it's a pleasure to meet you!" She said. When her hand was not taken, Claire retreated a bit. "I didn't know your rule about not touching anything when I got here, so I'm sorry I touched your bed...but I was just putting a gift there for you. My mother and grandmother always told me never invite myself somewhere without a gift," She gestured to the bag, smiling slightly.
Claire had noticed how...judgmental Jades look had been, but it didn't bother her. She was used to being judged, and she was used to people not liking her. Of course, now that she was seeing her roommate, she wished Liza could be her roommate. She looked between the two girls, and decided that she'd try to be friends with both of them. Of course, Claire tried to be friends with everyone, but she didn't like the looks of this girl, her roommate.
As Claire went back to her suitcase, she removed the light green dress with the silver sparkles and hung it at the back of her wardrobe, behind her uniforms, her street clothes, and her jackets. She looked back at Jade. "So...how long have you been here?" She asked, sitting on her own bed again. Claire once again gestured to the bag, which she knew held in it a small, cute bottle of a perfume that smelled like vanilla and orange, a matching body wash, and a cute hair clip that was a small orange butterfly on a vanilla bean flower. Claire hoped that Jade would like them, and hoped also that she wouldn't be to mean to Claire. She could deal with people ignoring her, and being rude, but not mean. She was used to the mean remarks about her father, how he was "crazy" and how she "shouldn't live there", but she hated mean people.
Claire smiled, attempting to look harmless and cute, but was sure she just looked terrified. She didn't care, though, she was in a new place, millions of miles from her father, and at a new school. She was allowed to be nervous and terrified.
