~Alexandria~

Alex couldn't keep from giving Clowesia a half-smile as she laughed again, attracted to the deep resonant sound it had. She gave Alex a lop-sided grin and gave a 'strong man' move before declaring that she would carry her if she would pass out, since she was manly enough. Alex couldn't contain her laughter as Clowesia snickered. But the snickering almost instantly died down and she dropped her arms saying that Zach would carry her out since she wasn't actually that strong.

Alex knew that Clowesia was embarrassed by what she had said, and she felt an overwhelming need to make her feel comfortable again. "Oh, I'm sure you could carry me with no problem! And you look plenty strong to me!" she said gently, giving the self-conscious Clowesia a warm smile. "You're the biggest girl I think I've ever met...that has to account for something!" she continued, chuckling nervously, hoping Clowesia wouldn't take Alex's reference to her size in a bad way. She certainly didn't mean it like that at least.

((Sorry about my lack of posting but I have some studying to do, plus a bit of a writer's block as well ... I'll try to post tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the sleeping arrangements here, too. xD))

Mariah Whiteside
Mariah gritted her teeth and turned away again as this boy spoke. Why did she have to care? She worked for so long to get rid of that care and now it was back, showing itself like an ugly bull ready for a charge. She choked back several words before turning to face this boy again, he seemed so passive. Almost annoyingly so.

"I just.. Know how it feels, alright? I've been in the loner shoes before." She narrowed her eyes and pricked her long ears up, "I wasn't alone because someone else approached me. Believe me, if it was up to me, none of that would've ever happened." Her eyes flicked back over toward Clowesia, Alex and Zach and she glared for a quick second, "I'm not much of a people person. Never have been, never will be."

As she was staring at the three she had recently left she saw them begin to yawn and suddenly the immense tire took to Mariah's body as well. The girl yawned and stretched her arms high above her head. After a moment or two she pulled her knees up into her chair and rubbed at her eyes, "Wow. I didn't notice how late it was.." She glanced at Todd and laughed a little, "Sorry. Lighten the mood, I suppose." Mariah cracked her knuckles and looked back out over the room, "That'll all fade soon enough though.. This happy nonsense. I have a feeling this year will be a living hell.."

((Oh noes! Planned rooms?! Can't wait! And yay, slight Pendulum inspiration!))

[Poofle]

((Yay! Room arrangements, eh :3 I need to get Ellie talking to more people. Daniel should too, hehe. We should have some kinda' opening party so everyone can interact, even the shy charries ^_^))

Ellie~*

"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Ellie ... I won't hold your hand again if you don't want me to." Daniel seemed to get uncomfortable when Ellie stayed silent, thinking that she was perhaps uncomfortable with him holding her hand. To this, Ellie merely shook her head and let her smile show slightly from behind Mr. Grin, gathering up her courage to talk about something so it wouldn't feel too strange.

"I love drawing, too. Although I'm not so good with trees and such, I love to draw animals and people ... I used to make portraits of my entire family." Daniel replied with a wide smile. For a moment, Ellie thought she saw a hint of sadness in his soulful eyes, but that quickly disappeared. Maybe something had happened between Daniel and his family that made him sad? Ellie really wanted to know, but she knew she was only an acquaintance of his so she couldn't expect him to trust her explicitly. Besides, she might have been over-sensitive and read his emotions wrongly. It was amazing - and kind of magical, really, that Daniel would have so many things in common with Ellie. Both of them didn't like crowds, both of them liked flowers and drawing. Ellie smiled to herself - it was really wonderful to have a friend to share likes with, no matter how many times she'd already gushed over the wonder of friendship. It was just... really really nice!

"Perhaps ..." Daniel's voice brought Ellie back from her spaced-out daze. He was blushing again - Ellie looked at him rather curiously. Was there something he had to tell her?

"P-perhaps, we could d-draw each other sometime?" Daniel was stuttering a bit again, but what he said made Ellie's eyes widen instantly. It was her turn to go red now - deeply so, as she hugged Mr. Grin closer again. How did Daniel read her mind? And was he saying he'd draw her as well? A drawing of her from her first friend? This made Ellie feel unbelievably happy as she squeezed Mr. Grin, a wide smile forming against her red cheeks. "Yes!" Ellie managed to exclaim before she hid her face, still smiling to herself happily. When her face didn't feel like it was going to explode in heat that much, Ellie let herself look up at Daniel once more. Then she reached inside her bag, pulling out her prized sketchbook.

"Daniel... umm... this is a picture of my house!" Ellie quickly held the book out to him when she had flipped to the right page, before she had time to hesitate or mumble something incoherently in her nervousness. The picture was a pencil-drawing of a tiny cottage on a hill, an interestingly elaborate one - there was a clock on the roof, a cuckoo clock of sorts that had been attached to the brick material itself, three windows each of different frames showing from the outside, and a queer little front door with a windchime hanging over the side - a flower-chime with delicate glass petals.

"I can't draw that well yet, but I'll improve - and I'll make a really wonderful picture of you someday!" Ellie exclaimed. Surprised at her sudden outburst, she turned red again and looked down, trying not to bury her head in Mr. Grin's softness again.

Daniel

"Yes!"

Daniel's eyes widened in surprise. When he proposed they draw each-other, he'd half-expected her to turn down the proposal. Hence, her reaction was so unexpected and welcome at the same time, that he grinned his biggest grin so far. "What are the odds of being so lucky at your first day of school?" he thought and blushed a bit, but seeing how excited and happy she was, he only grinned more. It gave him a free, more wild look, since he usually only smiled. But his whole being was filled to the brim with glee, so he had to show some, otherwise he feared he'd explode.

Then, she pulled out her sketchbook and flipped it open so that it showed a picture of a house. "Daniel... umm... this is a picture of my house!" He leaned closer, taking a good look at the sketch. His eyes widened slightly as he took it in. "It's ... I love it. Does your house really look like that?" he asked, returning to his gentle, timid disposition. But his eyes showed how impressed he really was. Coming from a mundane -- well equipped, but nevertheless --, typical house, he'd always wanted more creativity incorporated into his home. His parents agreed to putting beautiful paintings and pictures of landscapes on walls inside the house, but on they wanted it just like any other house on the outside, for fear of standing out. Daniel always thought it pointless. There was already hate graffiti all over the walls, so the house stood out anyway. Why not make it pretty in the process?

He was returned to reality when Ellie spoke again: "I can't draw that well yet, but I'll improve - and I'll make a really wonderful picture of you someday!" She quickly lowered her head, so her face was hidden by her cream-colored hair -- but Daniel was stunned. Did she really say that? After a few seconds, he smiled his wilder grin again. He wanted to hold her hand, and it did actually twitch slightly in her direction, but he held it back, just in case. Instead, he said: "Ellie, your drawing is already ... well, the best I've ever seen! I just hope I'll be able to draw you as amazing as you really are." Only then did he realize what he just said, and he blushed beet-red, amazed that he managed to speak coherently. He bit his lip and hoped she'd take it as a compliment, just as it was meant.

Zacharias

"Ok, so it wasn't so bad death-glare wise ..." thought Zach as he observed the situation. He grinned as Clowesia made a remark about him having to carry Alex, but he said nothing because Alex already replied. "Hmm ... maybe Alex likes Clowesia?" he thought as his eyes darted from one girl to the other. "She certainly acts like she's interested ... but maybe I'm just over-thinking it ..."

Exhaustion was beginning to set in with him too. "Damn ... I'm beat ... I hope the little guy comes to get us soon ... " he said and yawned.
