Snippet #2335260

Lydia hadn't been doing anything important. She had changed like she had wanted to. She was wearing a nice pair of black skinny jeans, a pair of knee-high black leather boots, and a matte off-the-shoulder tee that had a nice little beaded design running down the center of the blouse. The only jewelry she wore were a pair of feathery earrings and a few bracelets on her left wrist. All Lydia had done was brush her hair and checked her nails, which were colored a very dark blue. Just as she finished dressing, Nadia had knocked on her door briefly and told her to come back downstairs to greet others and of course, inner Lydia actually didn't mind meeting people. Besides, she had been a social butterfly at one point. Lydia was famous for making friends quickly. However, now...she didn't feel as confident as she used to and meeting new people set her on edge with a nervousness that Lydia was not akin to. But Nadia came back with a comforting smile and reassured her that everything would be okay.

She had just finished decorating her room as she saw fit, loving being able to be alone. As much as she loved people, she actually preferred being alone sometimes. Having a roommate was...stressful. Lydia wasn't good with handling stress. Bad things happened when she was stressed...like blinding two of her best friends. Not even here for an hour and I'm already depressing myself, she thought with a sigh and pulled out her cell. Speaking of best friends, she hadn't even contacted any of them.

"Hey, hon," Lydia chirped happily in the phone. Their conversation ended up going on and on about nothing and everything. Cynthia was telling her all about her last shopping trip and surprising run-in with none other than Vanessa Hudgens. Vanessa-freakin-Hudgens! Lydia almost squealed at that point. Cynthia's parents had taken her to California and judging from the excited chatter, Cynthia was having a blast. And Lydia couldn't be happier for her. Just as the conversatio continued, Nadia started talking and Lydia had to shush her companion, trying to hear what Nadia had to say.

"So, while we wait, how about everybody just introduce themselves to one another." Nadia announced and one of her headed out to find that missing person she spoke of. Lydia sighed and ran her gaze over the room, peering through the throng of new classmates and hopeful friends in search of one particular person to start a conversation with. Just as she was about to simply force her way into the crowd, a very tall - or at least all from Lydia's perspective - guy with deep blue eyes locked gazes with her. It was a fleeting moment and Lydia immediately went back to her phone conversation. But then stranger-guy walked over to her and leaned against the wall beside her.

"Hi, I'm Dom." He greeted her.

"Hey, CeCe! I'm gonna have to call you back," she said and hung up before her friend could reply. Hiding her cell away, Lydia's eyes flicked back to his clear, sapphire ones and she gave him a bright smile. "I'm Lydia. Nice to meet you."
