Leaving home was once a thought that could not be imagined, the years spent at home, the memories, everything and everyone she loved, it seemed that leaving such behind would only bring pain. That is if Lilly felt attached to it, for if she was approached and asked if she missed her home, she would not be so remorseful as she would of been a year back, instead would respond all optimistic, to accept she had left home and that attending this academy was the best thing for her. If approached last year to leave home and invited to De La Torre, she would of rejected and stayed at home, but much had happened in the last year, for now all that was at home was her family's servants, her ignorant parents who wanted to marry her off as soon as her brother died. Her brother was no longer at home, so what was left. Leaving home was more of a relief than anything else, so now she could move on without being reminded of her brother or being faced with her parents who only throught of themselves. At least they had given her a chance to go to De La Torre.
When she arrived, she wasn't quite sure what to expect. So far she had met the guy in charge of the academy who was just as young as she was. Lilly however did not care, as long as there was somewhere to go to get away from home, she didn't care who ran it. He certainly seemed a nice guy, so she was looking forward to spending time with other vampires, vampires round about her age which were alot better than two stuck-up parents who believed they knew best but hadn't the foggiest. Then again, adults liked to be that, to be the one with the answers. The one who truly had the answers for Lilly when she was having trouble was her brother, she had consoled with him many times but now she had no one but herself to console with, but perhaps this would change as she saw other female vampires gathered, where either or some or all maybe would like to be her friend which would be nice. One step at a time however, since she had yet to find out about these girls, though Ally currently seemed a likely candidate seeing how she was close to her brother as she was once.
Speaking of her brother, she noticed a guy with red hair just like what her brother had, though her brothers' red hair was a darker shade and was not on top of some tall dude with the stance the guy was in. He certainly looked like one of those guys who took no messing and no doubt one of those who were hard to know probably, but she would keep an open mind and not judge so quick as she turned to Maxwell who welcomed them all before mentioning the room and how not to be late, "If you are late, you will suffer. Being late to anything isn't good", though she didn't have to worry about that as she hates being late herself so found herself having no problems there, before he passed over to his sister who then gave out their keys as she welcomed everyone before the doors opened, "I suggest you find your dorm. Its best to know your school", before she followed everyone else inside, before they started to divide to get to their rooms.
Her room was number 40 which was nice since she was on the end, meaning that if she had to get out for some fresh air, it was not so far, as well as being in a good position to get to class without being stopped, so in theory, no problems should occur, though that's in theory of course. After entering, she smiled seeing that Maxwell was right, recalling his words "Each room well be set to your liking" and seeing how nicely decorated it was, as well as a nice large mirror which resembled the type you see in the fairytale movies the humans watch. Seeing all was well, she put her things down and lifted her clothes one by one and putting in the wardrobe, her maid leaving them all on hangars so it didn't take so long, before putting her things away in the drawers and decided to do the rest later, as she popped her head out the door to see if anyone was about to see if it was worth going out, and it seemed so when she spotted one of the guys down the hall.
Following such, she closed the door behind her and locked the door. It was certainly different to have her room under lock and key and not having maids around, but then again it did mean there no privacy because her maids report to her parents so she was gaining some independence as a result which was a good thing. She was hoping to meet one of the girls to start her off but she wasn't going to ignore the guy because he was a guy, and besides, she did have her own secret agenda anyway. "Hey", she said simply, realising how 'common' she sounds, wouldn't her parents be devastated, before taking steps towards him and asking, "So whatcha think?", once again using unrefined language but she didn't care, it was still language at the end of the day and she wasn't exactly sure of what to say, but would be interested to see what he thought about the place. She was certainly impressed, before she began wondering to herself if she looked okay as first impressions were important so she hoped she weren't scruffy as she gave a quick glance at herself before returning to him to avoid suspicion. Nothing she could do now.
