Lily Roscoe watched as her older sister drove off, leaving Lily herself alone outside the academy with her things. Well, not completely alone; there was actually a fair sized crowd outside the entrance, which would pose a problem. Lily really didn't like crowds. She wondered if Rose was mad at her, after all she had left so abruptly, without so much as a goodbye. Lily shook her head as if to clear such thoughts away, they weren't getting her anywhere.

Again, the girl looked uneasily into the crowd. She didn't even have a book since they were all in the bag she was carrying over her shoulder. Maybe if she waited until it cleared, that could work. Then again, since it was the first day and all, that could take hours, and then she'd be late, and she'd have to explain why she was late, and- Okay, so that wasn't an option after all. Maybe she could look for Amber? Being with her best, and in all honesty, only, friend would most certainly help. That was, of course, assuming Amber wasn't already on the other side of the large group of students.

Frowning at the most obvious, least desirable, and probably only option. Lily began to walk forward. Painfully slowly, she made her way through the crowd, softly saying "Sorry", "Pardon me", or "Excuse me", to anyone she so much as got close to.

After a short while, and a herculean effort, Lily eventually made it into Cavous Academy, and, more importantly, out of the crowd. At this point, the girl looked slightly ill, face visibly pale, and her frame shaking slightly. With that ordeal over, Lily set off int the direction of the reception.
