Romeo would easily welcome Aurora into the practice to make sure she was feeling at ease. Thankfully, she could go to him now if needed advice or to ask any questions about any of it. Romeo thought it was going to be a scary experience to mix in with new people on his first day. He was proved wrong. He’d made friends that he still studied with and spoke with regularly. “Alright! A surprise mocha coming right up. It’ll take them a couple of minutes to get it ready.” Romeo raced behind Aurora as she stated that she was going to order something for him too. “Hey! This was suppose to be my treat for you, remember? I can’t have the person I nearly knocked out with a ball paying for my coffee.”

“I can’t have the person that saved me from getting knocked out with a ball pay for mine either, so I figured we can pay for each other’s” She was already looking at the menu as it was her first time there. The place was nice and quite, with a lovely music playing in the background that she wasn’t able to recognize. She figured it was a pretty good spot for long afternoons of study and work, after all she didn’t stopped working when she moved, one of the good thing of working online. “Here, point your favorite beverage sir, it’ll be ready in just a few- she said faking a British accent- and we do not accept a no for an answer.”

Romeo’s friend started to playfully push at his shoulders until he accidentally stepped back into the person standing behind him. He could feel one tiny splash of soda hit against his tan neck. “No. It’s fine. It’s no big deal at all. I didn’t even know anyone was standing behind me.” It’s at that moment that he turned to face the girl and noticed it was Aurora that was looking at him. Romeo checked his clothes over the once. “I survived! I don’t think I have any drink on me.” Romeo then looked to Aurora’s dress. It seemed to be covered in some kind of soda that the event was handing out to the students. “Shit! I think your dress got stained a little bit though.” Romeo glanced over to the suit jacket that he’d brought to the event that was sitting on the back of the chair he’d been sitting in a couple of minutes ago. “Want to borrow my suit jacket for the rest of the night? It might save you from explaining this little accident to everyone.”

“I would’ve felt so bad if I had ruined that expensive looking outfit you’ve got going on there!.” She felt the red of her face beginning to fade as a result of the relieved she felt when she saw Romeo’s clothes intact, and she was so happy to see that it was Romeo she was talking to, she could see a friendly face finally. “I’m sure your jacket would absolutely complete my outfit, but I was about to leave anyway, it’s not like I was enjoying the party, you know?” Aurora had have enough, the soda drying up on her dress felt gross and it was almost like a clear sign for her to get out of there. “Plus, I wouldn’t dare wearing your jacket over all this sticky soda, it might get a stain or something” She turned, cleaned up a tear just when it was about to roll down her face and began walking straight to the bathroom. “I’ll be right back! .. or not, but thanks! you’re the best” she wasn’t going to let anyone see her cry.

Romeo couldn’t help but to smile at Aurora. “Guess we’re both blessed with good looks, huh?” Romeo was not normally confident about how he looked. He was proud of his six-pack. However, that’s about it. He’d been teased for his smile as a kid and the words stuck with him.  “My favorite sports to do are the ones with my teammates but I do track and I run in my free time to keep in the best shape that I can be. It helps with my speed in all of the team games.” Romeo was happy to know that he could go over and speak to Aurora during practice now too. He’d be sure to introduce her to his teammates. Some of his teammates were pretty cool people. “That’d be nice! You’re going to fit right in with the rest of us.” Romeo stopped in his tracks as the two of them reached the first coffee house which was about one road away from the campus they were on. It sold pretty good coffee at a reasonable price. This coffee was on him today. “Here’s the first coffee place. What would you like me to order for you?”

Aurora couldn’t be more excited, she thought her first days there would be the worst, but it was the opposite. “I can’t wait to meet everyone” She brushed away the thought of not being able to make friends, she had waited long enough to prove herself wrong and she was decided to do so. The smell of coffee met her nose even before Romeo showed her where the coffee shop was. ” Would you be annoyed if I said surprise me?-she giggled- I’ll have a mocha, I think it’s cozy. And what would you like me to order for you?” She blinked at him and then rushed to get first to the cashier.

Aurora wasn’t sure of what to do next, she had arrived alone and although the music was pretty loud, her thoughts were even louder in her head. But she was decided to stay and have a great time, enjoy her first actual party without any type of pressure. She decided to grab a drink from the table and find a place to sit, but just as she turned around she accidentally hit the person behind her. She felt her entire face go red and her cold, sticky soda dripping down her body. Her immediate reaction was to check if she had spilled her drink on the other person’s outfit, and when she realized she didn’t she felt relived. “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t know you were standing there. I should’ve been more careful. Are you ok? Please tell me I didn’t ruin your cloths”

Romeo was named after the Shakespearean character from Romeo and Juliet. He didn’t mind. His parents first bond was over books. It was a pretty good book too. He liked reading it too. Romeo could recall his parents watching Romeo and Juliet (1996) with Leonardo DiCaprio in it. Surprisingly, he didn’t hate his name much after association it with the good looking lead in it. He’d grown up with a crush on Leonardo after watching that film. The actor gave him the hots. “That sounds interesting! I don’t think I’d have the brains to hack learning something like that. Although, I’m always to listen to anything you find interesting and want to tell someone about it.” Romeo was still working out a routine that worked for him. It was difficult to manage everything. He liked to play his sports, complete his coursework but also have some fun on the weekends. “Honestly? The routine changes all of the time. It’s more about figuring how to use your time. I study sports management. I also joined a couple of sports teams to do in my free time. It’s fun. Who needs a brain when you’ve got a six pack though, huh?”

“Or when you have a face like this” Aurora laughed, she didn’t know until what point she actually believed that, but it certainly seemed like that a lot of the time specially back at her hometown. “That’s great! I just enrolled the athleticism team! I was in my high school’s team back at home so I thought I might as well continue here. And I don’t think I’m bad at all. What about you? Are you into running? Hey! maybe we’ll see each other at practice or something” She was genuinely excited at the possibility of having a familiar face at practice, it was enough with not knowing anyone at her classes.

Romeo was happy enough to show people the ropes around here. He actually really enjoyed it. Being a guide to some of the newcomers allowed him to meet new people. He liked being a welcoming face for people to go over and see if they needed any advice or help with anything. “I’m happy to help! If you ever need advice - let me know. I’m not overly intelligent but I’ll be helpful enough to point you in the right direction.” He was a decent enough person to do that. Romeo was an average student. He wasn’t blessed being a genius like his older brother - Nick. “Honestly? No. I don’t know much about the whole humanities course as a whole. It’s not something I have ever studied. How are you finding it so far?” He studied sports management. He’d enrolled into some sports to do in his free time too. He was an athlete in the making. Romeo reached out to shake Aurora’s hand. “Aurora? It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Romeo.”

“Nice to meet you Romeo” She smiled and couldn’t help but think about what would her 10 year old self think if she met a boy named Romeo. But yet again her name was always associated with the Disney princess and she didn’t like that at all. This thought made her wonder if Romeo had the same problem or if he actually liked the association of his name with the Shakespearian character. She decided it was too soon to ask that question. “I actually really like it so far, I love listening to people and understanding how they think and why they act in a certain way so I’m really happy with all my classes, although I’ve been struggling a little bit to set up a routine you know?” Since she had never lived alone before, she was struggling with even the tiniest things like doing her laundry. “What about you?”

Romeo could see his friend beginning to walk towards his next class in the not so far distance. He hoped his quick-thinking and apologizing would get the both of them off the hook this time. “You don’t? It’s your lucky day then. I happen to know all the best coffee places around here.” He’d tried most of the coffee places within his first week at this place. It allowed him to know which stores were the best to advice newcomers to go too. He also loved making new friends. Romeo was a people person and could jump from conversations with the athletes to the misfits. He didn’t want to be labelled as one thing. He’d be a more decent person speaking to everyone. “So, what are you studying while you’re here?”

“Great! Who would’ve thought that all I needed to do to have a guide would be walking around blindly and almost getting hit in the face” She couldn’t stop thinking of how funny it would’ve been if the guy in front of her couldn’t catch the ball in time. She didn’t mind laughing at herself, it actually was almost reliving because it meant that she made something wrong, which she wasn’t allowed to do back at “home”, but here? She finally could allow herself to do something wrong and no one really cared. “Humanities, bet you didn’t saw that coming, did you?” Aurora suddenly realized she didn’t even knew the name of the person she was talking to and a subtle blush tinted her face. “How rude! I haven’t even asked your name yet. I’m Aurora”

Romeo’s heart nearly stopped at the moment he saw the ball flying towards the other student. The worst thing in the world to him was hurting someone else. He’d feel like absolute shit if somebody ended up getting bruised because of his stupid actions. Thankfully,  he caught it. “My friend didn’t warn me that people were starting to walk out of class again. I apologize for the scare. It won’t happen again.” Romeo smiled at the girl standing front of him. At least she didn’t seem too pissed off with him. That was good news. “Can I buy you a coffee or chocolate or something to make up for scaring you? I feel like that’s the right thing to do.”

“Ow forget about it, it’s totally fine” The smile of the guy in front of her was mirrored on her face, although her thoughts where clouded with numerous memories of total jerks who just cared about her last name. It was weird but surprisingly nice to meet someone who seemed genuine. “I would actually like to have coffee, maybe that’ll help my body wake up, plus I just got here so I don’t really know where to get coffee yet” All the stress of moving and being independent for the first time, along with the fact of not knowing anyone there didn’t let her explore freely the campus so she really appreciated the offer.

Romeo and one of his classmates were absentmindedly tossing the ball back and fourth. They’d both stupidly not heard the bell ring. A ton of people were walking back out of class. His classmate threw the ball too hard. It was aiming right towards the next person passing.  Romeo went into full on protective mode. That was not going to happen under his watch. “Watch out!” Romeo’s body shielded the others at the very last second as he caught the ball before it ended up hitting the other’s face. He thankfully was blessed with being speedy. “Fuck! I’m so sorry. Are you okay? I didn’t mean to startle you.”

Aurora wasn’t paying attention to where she was, her mind was stuck in the thought of her parents leaving her at the campus. There were tears, uncomfortable hugs and hollow advices but none of those came from her, the lack of truth feelings was her heritage but the talent of faking them was something she hadn’t learned yet, unlike her parents. She didn’t realized the person nearby was screaming at her until she saw a ball coming directly towards her face. She closed her eyes, waiting for the impact but it never came, instead she heard a worried voice. “I’m just fine, my soul left my body for a moment but it’ll be back soon, it’s not like I haven’t wondered around without it before” she laughed.

Looking for a shopping partner!! Hope I find something cute for the Fall Ball ;)

“That’s really cool, though it does make me curious how gold represents your parents?” She followed up, her curiosity piqued at the new information. “Do you prefer Goldie or Aurora?” Nevaeh had earned some embarrassing nicknames during her childhood given by none other than her siblings, such as string bean and bean pole. That was hardly information she handed out readily, though. “On the map, Minnesota’s kind of ugly. Scenic wise it’s actually very beautiful.” The question emanated a chuckle from Nevaeh. “It seems to be working out pretty well so far.” It wasn’t that she couldn’t fend for herself, she would just rather not have to do so. “I haven’t really been anywhere besides my dorm room. I haven’t even started unpacking my bags yet and it’s already stressing me out.”

“I’m not sure” She totally knew. Her parents were wealthy people from the upper east side of NYC, of course they wanted to give that message to every single one of their pretentious friends, but Aurora wasn’t going to share that little detail with a new potential friend, she never had the opportunity of introducing herself so she didn’t want to give the wrong message of who she really was. “Goldie is fine, what about you? Any nicknames?” She felt more comfortable talking to this person than any of her “friends” at home and that drew a smile on her face. “I would love to go there someday! Maybe the next summer”. She wasn’t going back home that was for sure, so any place sounded like heaven for her. “That’s so funny, I’ve been almost everywhere except for my dorm, should I start worrying too!?” Her laugh was genuine.

[goldiejay]

nevaeh-foster​:

“Oh, thank you. I like yours too, are you named after Aurora as in… Sleeping Beauty?” Nevaeh asked curiously before answering the other woman’s question. “I’m from Minnesota. My favorite thing about it is that it looks like a boot.” She chuckled, a shrug bringing her shoulders up as she considered Aurora’s next words. “While it would be great to learn how to deflect comments instead of letting them get to my head, I’d really rather not meet so many jerks.” A grin formed on her lips at the mention of food. “I love food. Did you have somewhere in mind?”

“My parents had this thing with my name, they wanted to choose one that represented them well so they named me Aurora because Au is the symbol for gold in the periodic table, although just a few people realized that” She chuckled as she remembered how her parents made her learn word by word that explanation. “They then insisted in calling me Goldie as a nick name so that the “gold” thing could be more evident” She almost preferred to use her nick name more than her name because she was no princess, even though her whole life she lived like one. “You can call me either one you like”. She had never been to Minnesota before so her companion suddenly seemed even more interesting for her. “Is Minnesota a pretty boot?” The question made a lot more sense in her head. “I sincerely hope you don’t have to deal with a lot of jerks” She meant that, she knew dealing with that kind of people wasn’t nice, but she thought it made her stronger. “I was going to check out the campus’s diner, have you gone there yet?”

[goldiejay]

nevaeh-foster·:

“I can’t even find high heels in my size. But, to be honest, if I could I don’t think I would wear them.” It wasn’t like she was self conscious or anything, but she would much rather find herself a pair of comfortable, sensible flats. “I would love to have the capacity to deflect those sorts of comments.” She chuckled. “I like you already, Aurora. I’m Nevaeh.”

“Nice to meet you, I love your name by the way! I don’t think I’ve heard it before, where’re you from?” She couldn’t help but wonder if she was choosing her words correctly, it was totally new for her talking to strangers without rehearsing the conversation before it actually happened in front of a mirror and of course, her parents. “I know you’ll master the art of deflection with enough practice and the right amount of jerks” She said the last sentence as if she was talking to her young self which made her expression change.”I was about to go for something to eat, do you wanna come?” 

[goldiejay]

nevaeh-foster·:

“You know, if one more person asks me how the weather is up here, I think I might just jump off a cliff.” Nevaeh scoffed. “At least come up with something original if you’re going to make fun of my height?”

“Well I kind of know what you mean, nobody ever said that to me but they stare sometimes, specially when I wear high heels” Aurora forced herself to not change her smile as the memories of people judging her in silence came to her mind. She wasn’t bothered by them but she was bothered by the fact that there were still people like that around. “And instead of jumping off a cliff I would laugh at them cause they’ll never know the weather is fantastic up here” Her giggle was genuine. “I’m Aurora by the way”

tommyhaddon·:

“SOS!” the blond called out toward the person that passed by, currently situated on a bench that sat in the quad, a permanent marker in hand as blue orbs were pleading, “i need your bedazzlement skills. my dad wouldn’t let me get a hot pink cast so instead all i have is this boring white. i need your help making this look as GAY as possible. draw a dick, put some glitter on it, i don’t fucking care. it’s so ugly right now and i have the same artistic skills as a fucking penguin.” brows knit into a furrow as he gave a tilt of his head, “wait are penguins artists? whatever animal isn’t an artist. i’m like that.”

@hadopens·

“I’m not the artsy kind, sorry” Aurora said with genuine concern on her face, she wasn’t expecting such a prompt request “But I do have some leftover pink paint in my dorm, I could give it to you if you want” Aurora tried not to roll her eyes at the thought of her parents having all of her furniture painted pink, she was lucky the university didn’t let them paint her dorm wall pink as well. “I’m Aurora by the way”

naomi-baasch​:

She hoped her new companion wasn’t offended by the suggestion, “Is it rude to say?” she asked, she had discovered that some of the things that were perfectly polite to say in Germany and even other parts of Europe made the expressions of Londeners contort and sour, perhaps she’d find the same thing in America.

“Here and there, yes, a bit,” she confirmed with a nod of her head. There was still much of the world left for Naomi to see but she liked to think that in good time, she’d see a lot of it, maybe even most of it if she was especially lucky. “-but I have much of it left to see,” she explained, “This is why I’m studying anthropology. I want to know all about the world and all the people in it,” she was passionate about the matter, in fact, “I’ve never been to New York City though,” she confessed, “Everything I know of it is from movies and TV shows- I doubt it is much like Gossip Girl for everybody though,” she said with a chuckle, she imagined that a very small portion of people actually lived like anybody in the American TV shows she’d become hooked on at one time or another. She nodded her head, “Two brothers, both older than me,” she missed them, admittedly, “One lives in Germany, one lives in Niederlande- I planned to visit him there but actually, I got my acceptance to Haddon, so my plans had to change,” it was a good thing, she’d decided, she was pleased it had worked out that way.

“It’s not rude at all! It’s just that nobody ever told me that before” She didn’t want to admit it but she never really had the need of being friendly before, maybe that was the reason of her weird reaction. “You know that’s exactly why I’m studying Humanities!! I’ve lived with my parents in an apartment my whole life so I had to learn about the people out there through my computer screen. Hey! maybe we’ll have some classes together” That thought made her smile, at list she would have someone she knew in some of her classes so they seemed less scary in her head. “Ow and it’s kind of embarrassing but my life was almost identical to Gossip Girl, except I didn’t had to live through THAT much drama.” She giggled, would her life would be different if she had had some drama? some friends? “Oh is that the library’s cafe?” She pointed at the beautiful building they had just passed.
