Ellie had always liked to work to music, and this was a nice change to constantly flicking through songs on her ipod. She slipped her shoe on to measure where her ribbons felt correct and pinned them in place. Sewing was the least fun part of her ritual, and she liked to get it all over with as quick as possible. Just as she was finishing off her second shoe, she heard the guy talk. Eloise hadn’t noticed that the music had stopped, she’d been too focused. “Oh, hey. Sorry, that was pretty.”

“Oh, thank you,” Nico grinned sheepishly, feeling funny after having been so enthusiastic a moment ago. “Vivaldi,” he explained, pausing his ipod and setting the violin in its case that he’d rested on one of the tables. “Have you heard his concertos?” He asked, attempting to make conversation.

Eloise held her brand new point shoes in her hand, she’d just taken some supplies from the home economics to get them all prepared. It was one of her favourite things to do, so it didn’t matter much that they wore out so quickly. She was intending to work in her room, or the dance studio if it was free, but she’d heard some music as she walked through the hall. She found the door, hovered in the hallway for a little bit, and when he didn’t seem to notice, just walked in and sat down on the floor, laying out her tools, shoes and ribbons.

Nicolas continued to play, eyes closed, wanting to block out all of his senses that wouldn’t help him experience the music fully. Swaying to the tune he was pulling from the violin, keeping it in time with the song flowing from his headphones. His parents had wanted him to take lessons, but it had never taken off like they had hoped. He played the full nine minute song, letting the music animate his body; his elbow jabbing back and forth rapidly for a while as he dragged the bow along the strings, before taking shorter movements for the quieter part of the concerto. He finished with a big sigh, dropping both hands to his sides, holding the neck of the violin in his left, and the bow lazily with his right. He opened his eyes and turned to see a girl on the floor working on something. “Oh!” he pulled an earbud out of his ear and let it dangle down his chest, the other playing Spring. “Hi,” Nico laughed, cheeks turning a slight shade of pink.

Nicholas had found the music room a couple days ago, and was pleased to see they had a violin. He was still waiting for a few of his things to come from home, his instruments being a large percentage of that. As he usually did, Nico plugged his ipod into his ears, and played a track from Vivaldi, closing his eyes and picturing wear he needed to prop his fingers and angle his bow to play what was pouring into his head. After a moment, he brought the violin to his chin and began to play Winter from the Four Seasons, one of his favorite Vivaldi pieces. He was so caught up in it all, that he didn’t notice someone enter the room.

Chloe lifted a shoulder at his agreement, giving him a sweet smile. “Ooh, that sounds fun. Have you always wanted to surf?” She liked to dig into people’s lives and their thoughts, it was practically a hobby. “You’re going to love it here, it’s full of secrets.” Chloe gave a knowing nod, “There’s this room I found, I’m in love with it.” With a nod of her head Chlo pointed at the building coming up ahead. “That’s the cafeteria. It’s super close to the dorms, thank god.”

“Yes, always,” he chuckled. “We weren’t really allowed near the ocean too much growing up, despite living right on the water,” he added, thinking fuck it, be open. “Secrets, huh? Do you have secrets, bright eyes?” He asked, cocking a brow. He decided right then that he liked this girl, and hoped they could be friends. With so many people around, he wondered if there were already cliques and groups of people that weren’t open to newcomers; she seemed like the opposite type of person. “Oh, that one?” Nico pointed as well. “That’s great; never know when a midnight craving will hit.”

“Green is the best!” She countered, reaching in after him and picked out a haribo egg. Chloe chucked it in her mouth, casually lifting a foot when she spotted a little rock in the way that could cause her a problem. “If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?” The girl asked him, “I want to go to Russia, and I want to go to China, and I want to go to Italy.”

Nico laughed, thinking to each his own. She’d been so kind as to share, he didn’t want to argue with her about it. “If you say so,” he replied, shaking his head, bemused. “I want to visit South Africa; so much culture and so different from home. Be a nice place to learn to surf,” he cracked a grin. “I’d go anywhere though, I like to explore.”

“Aw, lucky.” She playfully complained, wishing she got the day off school. Chloe had arrived just before summer, and had gone straight into a lovely long break from nothing. She wanted to go back to that. “Yeah, I like it here. It’s just getting used to somewhere new.” Chloe reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a paper bag full of sweets and held it out. “You want some?” Maybe it was too early for sweets, but she figured it would be nice to offer anyway. “So, what kind of adventure are you hoping for?”

Nicolas nodded, relieved that his hopes for the school were true for someone else at least; that it was something he could get used to. “Oh sure, thanks,” he grinned, reached in and pulled a sour patch kid from the mix. “Blue’s the best,” he commented, popping it in his mouth. “Oh, I guess just getting to see some of the world, and meet new people from all around. I’ve been home my whole life, and a school with people from all over the world seems like a nice place to start.”

Chloe appreciated the help to her balance, she was always okay when she was moving and yet when she stopped it felt impossible not to drift. “Oh, a newbie! Exciting!” She gave a bright smile and looked to the left. “Let’s get you some food then.” Chloe squeezed his shoulder, always affectionate to a fault, and nodded in the direction. “It’s this way.” She stepped off, skating slowly so he could walk alongside her. “So first day huh? Y’nervous?”

Nico chuckled at her excitement and readiness to help, glad that she was the first person he met at the school. He nodded his thanks, giving a little grin and picking up his pace a bit to keep up. “Well, first day here, yeah. Don’t have classes until Monday, so that’s nice,” he commented, glad they gave him a few days to amp himself up to going to class. Nicolas shrugged at the second question, not sure quite how to answer it. This was a brand new place, with just a day or two to decide who he wanted to be known as. “Not really,” he half lied. “Seems like a decent enough place, and who doesn’t like a good adventure?” That part was true; he did see it as an adventure to be had.

Back home the only place to roller skate had been parking lots in the middle of the night when no one was around and she had enough space to go free. Here was different, and even though she had classes she’d taken to skating from one to another, slipping them off under her desk each time, and crossing her legs in her seat. Her knee highs were pulled up and her uniform skirt rolled into something shorter and cuter. Chloe had a way of making her days more interesting. She rolled slowly (to avoid hitting anyone else), one foot to another, along the path. Despite her lack of speed, when someone actually tried talking to her she yipped, tipped her foot forward to stop and grabbed onto the stranger’s shoulder for support. “Hi!” She giggled breathlessly, still holding on. “Sure I do, you need help?”

Nico laughed as the girl held onto him, reaching a hand to her elbow to help steady her. “Yeah,” he nodded, giving her a quick once over, moreso to make sure she wasn’t wobbly and going to fall. “I just got in last night, and am starved.” Nicolas explained, glancing around them as if the building might be somewhere just in sight and he was missing it.

Nico rubbed sleep from his eyes and slowly lumbered out of his bed. He’d fallen asleep as soon as he’d gotten to his dorm, still in his plane clothes and not a sheet or blanket on his bed. He’d been told that he wouldn’t have to go to Friday classes, and decided to use his time to explore the grounds. He unzipped his duffel and pulled a beanie and jacket before heading out of his dorm. Nicolas sent a text to Brian to see what his brother was up to, and stepped out into the brisk fall weather and bright sunshine. Students were walking up and down the paths, and Nico wondered if they were going to class or the cafeteria; he could feel his stomach growling, suddenly hungry after the long flight, and longer night’s sleep. “Hey,” he greeted a stranger that didn’t seem to be in much of a rush. “You know where the cafeteria is?” He asked, hoping they were kind.
