"Easy now, take deep and steady breaths now... I'd just like my stuff. It seems like people like bumping into each other around here... My name is Tony. What do you call yourself, miss?"

Elizabeth looked the boy over when he said this. He sounded over confident and sarcastic but when she looked up he had a friendly smiled. He was joking. She hadn’t been able to too before but she could now. She picked his books up and noticed that he was a first year student too. She smiled a warm smile. Finally someone in my year. She thought.

“Yeah, tell me about it. I got into the gym to sign up for some clubs and sports and i thought i was playing football and I was the running back." She said shaking her head. She handed him his books.

"Nice to meet you Tony, my name is Elizabeth. I could see from your books you’re a first year too. Would you happen to know where that theater thing is? I mean I was just following the crowd but look what that got me." She said with a light laugh as she pushed her hair away from her face as a light breeze came through the court yard.

Elizabeth shifted her old rap-sack to her other shoulder and pulled her map out from her books and looked it over. She wasn't use to so much space. Her old school was all one building in the middle of the city. Now she was half a mile from anything and she lived on a farm not a high-rise. She looked up at Tony hoping he had a clue where to go.
