Esme
Leaving her parents for yet another institution was something that Esme was all too familar with; they no longer bothered with goodbyes, and instead decided that sending her off with the driver was a better way of letting go. Despite their usual pleadings with her to try and get better, this time, they didn't even bother. She was starting to think sending her away was a way for them to just get rid of her, rather than get her 'help' from something she could not control.
The drive to South Carolina from New York was quite a long one, and after arriving, Esme hopped out, sliding on her heels and adjusting the beanie on her head. She looked decent; for someone who'd been in a car for way to long blasting a variety of alternative rock music in the back. She was led away by a supervisor immediately after exiting the vehicle, and quickly found herself inside the building that reminded her more of a prison than anything. She was led down a series of hallways, and she could hear the woman in front of her speaking, only, she hardly heard a word. She couldn't help but wonder if this tall blonde had any idea how idiotic this institution was.
She was brought out of her inner babble by the woman leading her around. "---and this, my dear, is your room." She had stopped in front of a door, and Esme managed a half smile. "I'm not your dear, and thanks..I can take it from here," and without another word, she stepped inside the room, her eyes quickly falling on the girl layed out on her bed. Ahh, a roommate.. she thought to herself. The woman who had showed her to her room simply smiled. "Make yourself at home. The schedule is posted up around everywhere, but you can ask your roommate if you have any other questions." She left in quite a hurry, not that this bothered Esme at all. Looking back at her roommate, she leaned against the door, and smirked slightly. "You must be my roommate...I'm Esme," she said casually.

Elias
Another day. Another long, quiet day, Eli thought to himself as he sat up in his bed, pulling out his ear buds and sitting them aside. He watched as his roommate left, then stood up. It wasn't that he had a problem at all with Andrew; in fact, he thought he was cool, and attractive. If anything, he had a feeling that his roommate might have a problem with him. Or maybe I am too quiet.. he thought.
Walking into the bathroom, Eli readied himself for the day by wetting his face and hair, before changing into his outfit for the day. He walked to the mirror to look at himself. "Not to bad, Eli, not to bad.." he said with a slight smile, before adjusting his scarf, and making his way out of the room. He walked down the hall to the cafeteria. Walking in, he noticed that just about everyone was there. He knew them all by name by this point, but never made an attempt to get to know them. Surprising, though, he wanted too. He just didn't know how to approach people; it had always been a fear of his.
Eli made his way to the same table he had always sat at, taking his spot and grabbing some orange juice, which he sipped on gingerly before looking around at the surrounding people. His eyes fell on his roommate Andrew, then Alison, and finally, Hayden. He smiled slightly at the sight of him. Ever since seeing Hayden on the first day, Elias had found himself smitten over the boy, and, although they'd never spoken, he'd caught his eye a few times. Maybe he would make an attempt to talk to someone today.
