Her stomach seemed to drop when a new girl arrived and made her way towards the other bottom bunk. Not only that, but when Mick noticed that this new girl was looking her up and down it increased her worries. Mick gulped. From what she'd gathered in this past moment, the girl who just climbed down from the top bunk was Rebekah, and the one who just came in now was Kat. Well now Mick had no choice but to introduce herself. She hoped her voice wouldn't sound too raw from a lack of use. "Umm, I'm Mikayla, but you can call me Mick. It's nice to meet you." First introductions were always a big hurdle for Mick to overcome, and she almost forgot that there were still two more girls who were supposed to stay here with them. Not to mention the other 5 guys. Which meant she'd have to go through this cycle of feelings multiple times. Ugh...

➢ Kat's piercing green gaze surveyed the two girls, curiosity alight in her eyes."Why are you both so nervous?" She asked, genuinely interested in why they cared so much if a bunch of strangers liked them. "I mean come on, it's not the end of the world if you don't meet your new best friend here," she said, trying to sound reassuring but probably just coming across as scathing. Comforting others was one of Kat's weakest points, but if you needed someone to sit a Junior year engineering mid-term? She was your gal. Numbers and equations just made so much more sense than emotions.

michael thought on josiah's question for a few moments. he didn't really know the answer. he wanted to get away from home, but he also wanted to meet knew people. maybe it was because he wanted fame? "i really don't know.. I guess because I wanted to get away from home and feel independent for a while."

Josiah laughed with him "same here!" He said happily "but if we were to be friends, independence is something you won't get that much..." He said a little calmer "I'm sorry if I came on too hard. It's just nervous and I'm as nervous as all of you..."

"You know why are we here? I mean I just kind of came here not really thinking that I'm a huge introvert and don't really like talking to new people yet now I'm gonna live with some strangers." He said in one long sentence. After realizing what he'd just said Elliot looked at the boys. Yep, they heard him.

Mick's softer gaze seemed to wither under Kat's. She knew there was truth to the older girl's words. It was irrational to be this worried over what others thought about her―and yet, Mick couldn't understand why in her worst moments a fierce blush crossed her face when she spoke to strangers, or why it seemed so difficult to catch a breath whenever she was in crowds or had to face an audience before her concerts. Sometimes the girl felt like something about her was... not right, for lack of a better term. "That's true..." If Mick could say something to Kat, she would, but she felt that it would be weird to just announce that she was a girl who had anxieties about social interactions. So she would say something else. Like a liar. "It just feels strange, you know? Being in this house with nine strangers for six months. I guess I didn't do enough to mentally prepare myself."

Josiah looked at him with a concerned look "uh...okay! If it makes you feel better I'm not so sure myself" he said with a shrug of the shoulders and an innocent smile

Everyone else's reasons seemed pretty normal: wanting new friends, getting away from home or even just not knowing, and he supposed his was too though anyone really would've said yes to shelter having left home a couple of months ago. Dimitris was nervous and he could feel the nerves rising into the air and making a few people a little anxious and react strangely. Josiah continued to be happy and slightly over the top, but nerves did strange things to people. He glanced over at Elliot when he started to voice what was obviously his thoughts aloud since it came out jumbled, but Dimitris couldn't help but feel sorry for him so he tried to offer a reassuring smile and a small wave. "I came here probably for the same reason as the rest of you," he spoke, giving the shorter version of the reason and not exactly lying. Maybe if he made friends he would take the time to explain it more fully, but it would do for now.

michael sighed as the awkward tension in the room seemed to grow. "well, I uh, think I heard some girls in the other room. im gonna go meet them I guess." he got up from his spot on his bed and quietly headed towards the girls room, where he knocked on the door and patiently waited for someone to answer. maybe I will make some friends while im here, he thought.

Without saying another word to the other guys, Elliot fished his sketchbook out of his backpack along with a pencil and left the room.
"Don't wait up." He said as he left just making sure no one would follow him. He walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch. He started sketching ideas for a new painting. He decided to sketch the pillow on the other side of the couch. And it was decided, his newest painting was going to be of a pillow.

Josiah jumped back up onto his bed and began to unpack. He put clothes in draws until he saw a picture of his family when he was young. He looked at his father, putting his hand on the picture. Why did he leave... Josiah thought to himself. A teardrop hit the dusty glass of the photo frame and trickled down to the base and off onto his mattress. He sniffed quietly trying to avoid any attention to anyone. It was a bad time to cry but he couldn't help it, He missed his father.
