Rosalynd Sorbie
Rosa shoved her notebook in her locker and made her way to the canteen. So far school hadn’t managed to put her in a shitty mood, which borderline impressive. Though this probably had to do with the fact she had ditched her two first classes; maths and english, choosing sleep over her two least favorite class. She had shown up just in time for PE, being well rested of course. Though when she decided to sleep in she hadn’t realized that everyone would be finding out their dorms today. Also that she’d miss hassling the new freshmen in morning. Back to the main point though, she wasn’t to worried about not knowing who she was rooming up with. She’d just ask around, someone would know.

Arriving in the canteen, Rosa got herself a chicken and lettuce roll before choosing where she’d sit. She nodded and gave a blunt hello to Darcy as she passed both her and Cara sitting together, moving to the outskirts of the Canteen. She didn’t care all that much for Cara, and well, she wasn’t all buddy, buddy with Darcy. She saw the populars, jocks and whatnot, sitting together, she could have easily joined them. She didn’t though, she was friends with a lot of them, but there was a reason she wasn’t a part of their clique. Besides the two people she knew the best in that clique were Mike and Dehlilah, but that seemed to be a having a couple moment. That and she wasn’t nearly self-conscious enough to worry about how people would look at her if she sat alone.

She ended up choosing a seat at an empty bench, where her back was facing the way and see could watch everything going on. Unwrapping her lunch, she ripped off a bit and popped it into her mouth. She watched everything going on in the canteen, waiting for something exciting to happen and hoping that lunch didn’t pass too quickly.


Jacob Preston
Jay was lounging on a couple of steps he had stumbled , quite a distance away from the canteen and the business that usually surrounded lunch. The sun that was shining down on him had made him lazy, he was pulled from his daydreams by his phone in his back pocket though. He briefly looked at the text he had received from Lacey, his best friend, before somehow managing to pull himself up off the steps. He didn’t bother replying though, he’d just go see her in person. Walking into the canteen, it didn’t take him long to find her, she was the one sitting at an empty table, writing in a notebook with earphones in.

Walking towards her though he passed Cara and Darcy. “Hey you two,” He said to them as a friendly greeting, before giving a friendly wink to Cara. He and her were fairly good friends, who hanged out from time to time. Not to mention she was gorgeous, hey, he was a guy, he couldn’t help but notice. Looking across the table he saw, a girl that he presumed was a freshman. Freshmen weren’t exceeding hard to pick out. As a general rule of thumb, they were people Jay had never seen before, which was obvious because he knew almost everybody. Not that he a busy body, or was friends with everybody, he was just a friendly and open guy. They also generally looked uncomfortable and out of place. This is normally where Jay would have made a friendly introduction but the girl was hunched over her game-boy. She also looked to be concentrating on what she was doing and he didn’t want to distract her. Giving Cara and Darcy one last smile he continued walking towards Lacey, he trusted the two girls to be friendly enough with the freshman.

As he approached Lacey’s table, Jay opened the packet of chips he was holding and put them down on the table in front of her. “Sorry, It’s not gourmet, it’s all a had and I can’t be stuffed getting up and getting anything else.” Jay said grinning at his best friend. He had seen her in the midst of writing a poem on her notepad, but he didn’t try to read it over her shoulder, if she wanted him to read it, she’d say so. “So, how’s school treating you so far?” He asked as he reached for one of those folded type chips from the packet he had laid on the table. “Snag a good roommate?”


Jay had gotten Mike, the soccer dude. Jay didn’t mind all that much about who he got roomed with though, he had the ability of getting along with just about anybody. Even though it seemed like he was that odd number student who got roomed with someone from another year level. Him and Mike hadn’t talked much lately but it wasn’t like he was pining for conversation with the boy. Besides, Mike was always much better conversation away from his jock friends anyway. He looked over at Lacey though thinking of the girls in her level that she might have gotten roomed with. Now Jay doesn’t claim to understand the ways of girls, in any way shape or form. He did figure though that he knew Lacey well enough to assume she wouldn’t have of been bothered that much by who she was roomed with.
