ｒｏｕｓｓｅｌ .

xxxxxin an instant, roussel slugged his friend in the arm a second time. "two for whining, cry baby." roussel smirked, and looked over to the girl. did she say hi? she was so quiet, he could barely hear her. he went with his instincts, and assumed she had greeted him and his friend. "hello there." he smiled brightly, examining her with his eyes. she was a cutie, but the goal at hand was to break that shell of hers--roussel thought of it as a favor.

xxxxxroussel put an arm around the much shorter girl. what was she? five four? he couldn't tell, but she was down there. "what's your name?" he asked, interest in his voice. "I'm roussel, it's french, kind of like russell, but not really." roussel began to walk, arm still around the girl, and luggage still in hand, what a marvel. "walk with us." he said, impersonating a big c.e.o. "so why weren't you on the bus? did you walk here? where are you from. tell me about yourself." maybe he was coming on a bit strong, but he couldn't care less. coming on strong was what he was all about, personality wise, and snowboarding wise.

xxxxxroussel looked over to his friend, felix. "who was that girl? aurora?" roussel said. "yeah, she was pretty good-looking. not as good-looking as my new buddy here, but she's pretty up there." roussel was of course referring to the girl under his arm. god, what on earth was he doing?

xxxxx"what do I think? I think this school smells like lemon cookies, and I think there's a lot of friendships going on, and I miss my dog. little ally was just a little puppy, I hope she's holding up." roussel rambled, and then accepted the hot chocolate from his friend. roussel then handed the cup to piper. "here, you can have it." he loved hot chocolate, but he was feeling chivalrous. "I saw you giving that girl the goo-goo eyes." roussel smirked, looking at felix. "you looked like you were trying to stop yourself from drooling, bud." roussel snickered, and then looked down at piper. "oh yeah, this is felix. he's a nerd." roussel gestured a hand to felix.

xxxxxwhile standing there, he noticed the sheet of paper. "I'll be right back. stay beautiful, you two." he set his luggage down near piper and felix, pointing to the two of them before entering the crowd. he pointed to his name, and then slid his finger over to find his partner. "heyden? isn't that a girl's name?" he said, probably a little louder than he should have. he then heard his named coming from the lips of a male. it was probably heyden. roussel cringed just a bit. "not a girl's name." he corrected himself, feeling slightly rude and stupid for saying it in the first place.

xxxxxroussel walked up to the boy who was talking to his friends. one was a male, and the other was the girl felix smiled at like a dork. roussel put an arm around heyden, and smiled brightly. "you must be heyden." he said. "I'm roussel. nice to meet ya. that snoring thing you said, yeah, I'm taking that as a challenge." he then fixed his eyes on bradley and claire. "hi." he simply said before focusing his eyes on claire. "my friend thinks you're smoking hot." roussel smirked a little too wide, he was proud of himself. "welp, it's been quite a pleasure, but I must return to my luggage, it's clingy. you know how it is." roussel pulled his arm from the boy, and shrugged, returning to piper and felix. he looked at felix directly, smiling. "you're welcome." he said just before curling an arm around piper once more. "let's find a seat."

xoxoxoastra watched from afar as people nearly killed themselves just to glance at the board containing the list with the rooms. it was unbelievable how many loud and already somewhat obnoxious people were here, the brunet she had seen earlier, who seemingly was half french, was already hugging everyone and making new friends and enemies. his roommate heyden sure wasn't necessarily happy with him after the snarky comment about the name heyden left his mouth. she didn't like people who came off too strong, so her first impression of roussel desruisseaux wasn't all that positive. astra was standoffish and definitely not the talkative type, especially not around strangers or guys. the girl hoped and prayed she was rooming with skyler, someone she could rely on and feel comfortable around.
xoxoxoonce the coast was clear or teenagers, astra made her way towards the sheet of paper herself. "please, please." she muttered to herself silently, crossing her fingers. bradley, she mouthed. that was surely a guy's name. why her? scanning the list, she was the only one to be rooming with a boy. that couldn't be good, especially with her personality. she looked around, trying to find who this mysterious bradley was. none of the guys looked like a bradley. maybe she should just introduced herself to the first person she'd see. "hi." she chirped at one of the boys, already regretting her decision. with astra's luck, the boy she had just spoken to was her to-be roommate, bradley. "i'm astra."
xoxoxo the girl picked up one of the mugs, lying on a snowflake imprinted tray on the table, pressing it against he lips and blowing. it was hot. a good thing when you were in the freezing mountains. the coaches started to speak, they were to be separated into two teams. apparently the speech was going to take a while, as they were suppose to sit down. astra took a seat in one of the furry armchairs, right next to brad, listening closely to what the adults were about to tell them.

It was back at her old habits once again; she chewed at the side of cheek, something
she did whenever she was nervous, and the butterflies in her tummy began to flutter
more than ever. Her nimble finger played at her lips, pinching them ever so slightly
as she adjusted her hair and let it fall from it’s position from behind her small ear,
onto her face, concealing her left eye just slightly. She began to make her way into the
academy once everyone had already proceeded inside. Having one last glance at the
forest trees dusted with snow, and the grey sky above threatening to release a fresh
veil of white powder onto the mountain. Oh, what a delight that would be; having an
untainted coating of snow on the mountain before her first run as a Windells academy
student. Taking a deep breath, absorbing the moment wholeheartedly, she took her first
step inside. It was then he spoke, the taller boy. Piper’s body stiffened immensely as
the boy’s arm surrounded her, swallowing hard, she breathed in deeply, unsure of what
to make by this gesture. Next he spoke, his thick French brogue appeared in his voice
as he spoke, asking Piper her name. Her green eyes shifted downwards, towards her
boots once again, and she replied in a tone so quiet it was only audible to Roussel - and
anyone who strained their ears to listen to her. She was then bombarded by questions
from the boy she just met. “I-I live in Whistler,” she spoke, her voice seeming vaguely
louder as she adjusted to the boy’s outgoing presence. “J-Just down the road
actually...” her voice began to trail of as it ceased to be audible. She snapped out of her
trance once again as she dragged her luggage behind her, still feeling extremely
uncomfortable even when they both moved over to Roussel’s friend, who was introduced
to as Felix. She smiled at the ground again, after receiving the steaming mug of delightful
hot chocolate, but to her it was like a warm heaven served in a cup, from the boy she had
just met. Piper was baffled by how outgoing he was, to be-friend someone as easily as he
did to her. A shy grin painted her face as Roussel made his way over to the sheet
containing the names of the roommates, but for Piper, it was too crowded over there,
too crowded for her to make way over and examine who she would share a space with
whilst at the academy. But by the time the bustling had ceased, she already was whisked
away the boy, who already had managed to insult his roommate, or so it seemed. There
were several armchairs scattered around the lobby, inviting and homely, beckoning
everyone over with the plush cushions that were plumped flatteringly, but she stopped,
turned on her heel, and said “i need to just check who i will be rooming
with,” her voice normal now, almost mimicking the friendly tone
Roussel had used when he introduced himself. Treading lightly on the wooden lobby floor,
she graced her way over to the sheet, and followed her finger downward until she found
her name. Ah, she thought, Claire. She nodded to herself, glad that she received a girl to
share her room with. Roussel had been paired with a lad named Heyden, who he had
previously thought was a name that was only meant for a girl. She smiled at this thought,
a shy, child-like smile, reaching her eyes as she looked up, and examined the people now
near her. Heyden, the first person she saw. She held her gaze at the boy, oh, he was
definitely handsome, but she slipped up, due to the fact she held the gaze too long.
Her eyes fell to the floor again, like they always did when the embarrassment entered
her, cheeks reddening as she observed the others, Claire, Bradley, Aurora, Skyler.
Turning again, she made her way back over to Felix and Roussel, and quietly rested
herself on an armchair, comfortable and warm, a welcoming presence, eagerly
anticipating of what the instructers were about to say.

heyden was just about to take a sip of his newly found hot cocoa that he'd seen was just 'sitting on the coffeetable', before he heard his name, followed by something else. almost choking on the warm drink, he coughed a few times before he spun around and crossed his arms slowly over his chest, his eyes showing a hint of amusement as he narrowed them slightly "yep. and your roussel." when he slung an arm around him, heyden patted him on the back, straining himself from doing anything more than a pat before the guy stepped away and walked over to claire. he bit his tongue back to hold a snicker. this roussel guy sure was open-minded, and heyden couldn't help but feel a little jealous. as soon as he slung his arm around another different girl, heyden bent down before patting her cheeks. "your soo smoking hot claire." he joked before straightening and smiling softly at her. they were friendly now, and he hoped she wouldn't get hurt by the joke. he wasn't one to think before he said anything, to be honest he couldn't help but feel a bit down himself, since he hadn't found the girl of his dreams yet. shaking it away, he smoothed his hair back before taking a sip of the cocoa and wiping the back of his hand with his sleeve.

looking up one more time, he locked his gaze with the girl roussel had slung his arm over before. she was oddly beautiful, and a mixture of excitement and charming-ness swelled inside of him. as soon as it happened though, she looked away, her cheeks heating and turning a light shade of pink. heyden smirked slowly before his eyes sparkled a bit, the lamps reflecting light as he took a sip of his drink again and turned around, his mind still wrapping around her. who was she? wear was she from? whistler, you idiot, hadn't you been paying attention. he mentally kicked himself before sighing and trying not to break his plastic cup, seeing that he was holding it so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. but he knew if he had a girlfriend he wouldn't keep her long. he was a guy, and he was young, and those two did not mix. he didn't want to hurt her feelings, or in that matter, any other girl's feelings. but he'd just have to let things play out, be cool and be charming and make those a respectful yet tempting aura inside of him. smiling slowly at the thought, he shook out his brown curls that rested on his forehead before placing the beanie back onto his head, standing up and stretching silently. "we-llll..." he murmured before sighing and shaking his arms out.

he looked over at astra, the girl that had just sat down in the armchair, right next to bradley. she was a bit quiet, but he'd be able to live with one of his guy friends hanging out with a girl like her. "hi there astra. i'm heyden." he took her hand and shook it gently, smiling softly as a pair of dimples appeared on his cheeks before letting her hand go and stepping back next to claire. "i think you'll have quite a lot of fun with bradley, if i do say so myself." he grinned before wiggling his eyebrows at her and smirking playfully, instead shoving his hands into his pockets before turning around to face the person who was supposedly going to make an announcement to them. he was okay with waiting, he had never hated it, but he always liked to spend his freetime doing tricks or hanging with friends. to be honest, he never liked cold weather, but loved to snowboard. he was best at slopestyle, but liked to freestyle as well. he had supposed to have put his board away in his cabin by now, but it was laying in the armchair that he had been sitting in, he had placed his things there to keep his spot. he had three bags- one for shirts and pants, shoes and sweats, and the other for household items, like books (as if he would read at snowboarding camp, it wasn't a book club or something), cologne, brushes, beanies, and other things. and finally, his snowboard and it's case. he unclipped the locks before scanning his eyes over the beast, his eyes flashing for a moment before he closed it again and looked around, finding piper again before managing a small smile before looking away.

xxxxxxx two complete hours of his day had been spent on a crowded bus ride, but oddly enough, austin didn't exactly minded. the teen kept to his seat in the very back of the vehicle, his body taking up the vast majority on the aged cushion while his head nodded in sync to the blaring music echoing through the speakers of his dre beats. much of the time had been spent in a daze, with him either asleep or fumbling with something on his cell phone. he hadn't bothered for much socialization and mainly used the time for himself and resting up throughout the journey. he hadn't spared much of a glance through the window since they'd launched, but the gradually intensifying cold chills sinking into his back from the silver metal of the bus was enough of an indication of the changing scenery. the long travel was to arrive in a wintry academy amongst the canadian mountains, one of which he'd received a letter of acceptance. truthfully, austin hadn't taken the whole situation seriously from the start - the feeling was still kept stasis to that moment. the idea not having been his own but his siblings' to apply for the opportunity, he didn't expect to be one of the few to actually get recognize, even if his snowboarding had been above the average. yes, he felt the excitement adjourn in finally taking an opportunity to hone his skills through snowboarding. however there was not much planning or strategizing on his part. quite frankly, the teen kept to winging it like he does best, seeing how it's got him that far already. the transport came to a stop at their designated establishment: a large block known to be the central flat. the passengers quickly piled out, many in a rush to view their new place of residence for the next school year. carefully checking for all of his belongings, austin followed along after them, getting off the bus in time for it's scheduled departure.
xxxxxxx while the ride had been moderately mellow and calm, many of the students seemed much more energized and active once they'd arrive. and none of them being louder than their very own roussel, a youthful french-canadian lad with quite the mouth on him. austin could recognize it upon entering the building, much to his amusement on the exact words spewing out from the other boy's tongue. he followed some of the others to a sheet of paper for room assignments to find that his roommate. felix, who he found with a quick scan of the lobby. austin approached the group, setting his luggage aside and plopping down on a vacant seat nearby. "looks like we're roomies, felix, old friend," he said lightly, getting comfortable in the chair. "roussel scared off all the girls yet?" he directed the statement at the boy in question, eyebrows raised in an spoken laughter.

by this point, sky had expected to be a bitter, grumbling mess. for the past weeks she had been on planes, buses and taxis nonstop. first, she left colorado to fly back to russia and visit her family and get a bit of quality practice time in. going back home always helped calm skyler down and improved focus for any type of competition. her mum's side were never the usual eccentric and family-orientated relatives. they were just as invested in snow sports as sky was, so she could count of them more than she could count on her coach. after a week there she had flown straight from russia to vancouver to begin her time in windell. being accepted hadn't come as a huge surprise, but skyler had be overall pleased about it. and now, as the bus drive came to and end, she found herself being a little more excited than she originally anticipated.

the brunette lifted her gaze from her magazine and gave astra a shrug in response. "i suppose," she murmured absentmindedly. they were an awkward pair compared to the laughing, chattering group that filled the bus. sky didn't mind the fact that her conversations with the younger girl were usually rather short- all she really needed was the relaxing company. they had been friends for awhile now, and while astra had accustomed to her own hypocritical ways, sky had become familiar with her friend's reserved persona.

a few silent minutes later, they arrived at their destination. the academy was surrounded by people, all busting around with luggage as everyone tried to get inside for the orientation. skyler took her time, only lifting herself from her seat when the bus had emptied. she preferred to avoid any crowds. the brittle wind hit her unwavering face the instant she stepped of the vehicle. it brought a small smile to her features, for the feeling of a chilly breeze was welcome to any avid snowboarder. she shuffled toward the luggage carrier, hastily grabbing her duffel bag and carry-on suitcase. the russian girl trailed behind the lumps of teenagers, already feeling like an outcast without a familiar face at her side. astra had disappeared already, probably inside with a seat by now.

as she had predicated, the lobby was packed. there was not a single person she recognized off the bat. it was inevitable for her to run into people who she competed against before, but that sort of reunion was likely to take a turn for the worst. before searching for astra, skyler decided to take a look at the list regarding dorms. after a chorus of repeated "'excuse me"s and "pardon"s as she maneuvered through the gathering, she finally was able to figure out who she was rooming with. aurora rowan. surprisingly enough, the name was not new. like many of miss pierce's previous competitors, her and aurora weren't exactly friendly towards each other. with a defeated sigh, sky turned her eyes away from the paper and began to look for her missing, petite friend.

_____"I'm so sorry, he's really... loud." felix rubbed the back of his neck, he felt liable for roussel's actions. someone had to, right? felix laughed lightly, and took a seat. "It's really nice to meet you." he would've shaken the girl's hand, but his palms were sweaty and disgusting, he was probably doing her a favor. the last thing she needed was another strange occurrence happening to her all thanks to one strange guy--roussel had already taken care of that. felix looked at roussel, and let out a long grunt. "I liked you better when you were asleep." he joked.

_____felix took a seat in the first empty one he could find. it wasn't a surprise when others followed, it was good company, so he didn't mind. he rested his crossed legs on a bag of luggage, kept his backpack on, and held the bag that contained his snowboard, although heavy, close. his blue eyes focused on the coaches, but immediately he turned his head to austin, smiling as he took a seat. he lifted his hand for a fist touch and continued to smile. "nice." he said, happy to get a friendly room mate. he laughed at the male's comment. "he's working on it." felix looked over to roussel, and then back up at the coaches.

_____"we're going to make this short and simple, we know you've had a long and tiring journey. thank you so much for all of your efforts, we truly appreciate it." the female said, a smile on her face. "you should already know by now who you're rooming with. those who you are rooming with are on the opposite team. we don't want any pesky team rivalries, those never end well." she continued to speak. "there are two teams consisting of five members each. the boarders on team one are as follows; felix armstrong, aurora rowan, heyden clark, piper scott, and bradely callaghan. you'll be training with me. my name is rosalee, call me coach masters." she took a step back, allowing the male to step forward.

_____"team two consists of skyler pierce, austin drake, claire walters, roussel desruisseaux, and astra tucker. you'll be training with me--michael. call me coach taylor." the male known as michael said. they were both friendly, but stern. felix's spirits fell when he heard that roussel would be on the other team, but he'd have to get over it. at least he would be able to make more friends. they all seemed like nice people.

_____"rules for the dorms are posted in the hallways. breaking them results in bathroom duty, cleaning the toilets. do yourself a favor and just follow the rules." rosalee said, tucking her clipboard underneath her arm. "your schedules are awaiting you in your rooms, we've printed them out, and placed them in binders. your binders each have your names, and should be on your beds. inside the binders is your personal skill tracker. you'll update it every week with new skills you've learned."

_____"your rooms don't have bathrooms, sorry to be the one to tell you. the bathrooms will all be shared by the ten of you. one for males, and one for females." michael said. felix felt bad for the guy, and wondered who got who to talk about bathroomm regulations. "the dining hall is next door, just a short walk. that's where we'll be meeting for breakfast and dinner. lunch will be on the slopes." michael then pulled out something from his pocket, a sticker. it was a white 'w'. windells' symbol. "in your room, you'll each find a windells sticker ontop of the apple laptops we have provided for your studies. consider windells your first official sponsor. we'll help you through your boarding career beyond your days here. put these stickers anywhere on your board, and make us proud." michael nodded, a smile on his face.

_____"if you have any questions, feel free to ask either of us, or even the main desk. we'll be happy to tell you anything you need to know." rosalee said, a smile plastered on her face as well. "and that's a wrap. thank you so much for choosing windells, we look forward to training all of you." her clipboard at this point was on the floor behind her, and her hands were clasped. "go ahead and situate yourselves in your rooms, chat with your classmates, or wax your boards in the provided area on the floor downstairs from your rooms. dinner will be served in two hours, and after that... we get our first ride in." somehow, he smile had grown larger. she nodded and then walked away with michael, leaving everyone sitting in their seats.

_____felix quickly stood up, stretching out, and grabbing his things. his eyes fixed on austin. "well, roomie, should we head up to good old room 221? I wonder if we get pillow chocolates." he smiled broadly, and began walking, beckoning austin to follow with a single motion of his head.

She sat down next to her bags and snowboard, the duffle bag actually made quite a good pillow to lean against. Looking up at the coaches just as Coach Masters began to speak. She listened as she announced the teams, Felix, that was the name of the guy that she recognised, she shot a look at him to see him looking at the coaches. Deciding that was a good idea she looked back as Coach Taylor, she looked over the team two members, she could tell who they were because like she had they showed some recognition as their name was mentioned.

Skylar, the girl she would be sharing a room with, the girl she had been especially competitive with at international competitions. Great, this should be fun, partnered with a girl hat only meeting a few times already disliked. The coaches seemed nice enough but also strict enough to be good coaches, what use was it if they never pointed out mistakes and always gave praise? None at all.

When they mentioned bathroom duty as a punishment for breaking rules she frowned, she had been on bathroom duty at home with three or four brothers it wasn't pretty memories. She would make sure that if she broke they rules, the coaches wouldn't find out. She wasn't especially upset about the shared bathroom, sharing with four other girls couldn't be any worse than sharing with a few brothers who loved going through your stuff.

Standing up with the rest of the group she looked around for Skylar, seeing her with a group of other people she shrugged. Picking up her bags and board case she began to exit the room following some boys, Felix and Austin. Room 218, she found it and opened the door glad not to find it locked. Looking in she noticed that it was pretty nice, instantly claiming the left bed for herself she dropped her bags on the floor next to it and pulled her snowboard out of her bag, actually a pretty new one. Most people had their trusty old snowboard or whatever they were using but not for her. She had it for a few months now, not that long compared to some people but her parents had gotten it for her when she got the acceptance letter. It had Orion Nebula Galaxy picture on it, unique but she loved it.

Standing up and walking over to the window she looked out at the white snow. At home it was the middle of summer, temperatures reaching forty degrees Celsius. Right now her family were probably at the beach or in the pool, not at home where it was inland to get the snow but probably at an aunts place near the beach. She always preferred the cold to the hot but was already feeling home sick, most of the time when she left for competitions it was only a few weeks but here it was longer.

xxxxxIt was as if at once everyone had suddenly filled the room. What was once quiet and somewhat composed was now noisy and rambunctious. It hadn't taken long for Claire to join them, forming a little group within the building. He had met her several times at competitions in America, and they even hung out a couple times when they happened to be in the same town. She was a really sweet girl overall, perhaps too sweet for her own good. It seemed to work for her though, and for drawing others to her. Only a mere moments later, some guy was popping over to say hello. Not one for introductions, Bradley merely nodded with a small wave. The guy seemed more interested in talking to Claire anyway.

xxxxxPoor Brad fought the urge to narrow his eyes at Heyden, though it was a failed attempt. Being as he barely knew the guy, it was a bit odd (and annoying) for him to be bantering about like they were old friends. To be honest, he couldn't of cared less that he was rooming with a girl. Big deal. He actually preferred that it was him, and maybe Astra did too, given how vocal and wild some of the lads were acting currently. "Good thing I packed earplugs." The teenager spoke smugly, giving the brunette a thumbs up. Truth be told, he didn't snore - and he wasn't a heavy sleeper either. It was actually quite hard for him to even fall asleep most nights. Between homework and whatnot, he was usually pretty crammed. Always a busy busy bee.

xxxxxBefore he knew it there was another person within his bubble. This time, it was another girl. Brad barely had time to blink twice before she greeted him and introduced herself as Astra. Ah, so this was the girl. She'd only said a few words, so there was no real way of judging what kind of a personality she brought to the table. Though, she did seem to be more quiet and reserved. Not buzzing with energy like a few others. This seemed like a positive, given that those type of people got on his nerves quickly. "Bradley," The sandy brunette spoke curtly with a little smile, running a hand through his rough hair was he situated himself in his seat. "Nice to meet you, roomie." The tone of voice he said the last word in was both humorous and mocking. It had been an attempted feminine voice, something that was fairly hard for him to do. Still though, he seemed to manage with the little joke.

xxxxxThe last thing Bradley could recall before the coaches started talking was Skyler looking rather lost. The only reason he knew her name was because of the few competitions they'd been to, the fact that they were Facebook friends, and the fact that they often snapchatted one another. He found no shame in that, why would he? She appeared to be searching for someone, and after a little picking of the brain he had figured out who. The girl she had been chatting with on the bus. The one sitting right beside him. Astra. Though, the girl didn't seem to notice her friend was looking for her - so Brad took it upon himself to wave her over. Just in time too, as the coaches spoke the first few words.

xxxxxThankful. Bradley was more than thankful that the coaches had kept it short and simple, just keeping them up to date on the 'need to knows' of the academy. He didn't plan on breaking any rules - bathroom duty did not sound very pleasing. All he could do was nod as they called off the teams, a look of slight amusement on his face. Felix was definitely a name he had heard before. The guy had seven competitions under his belt. Perhaps it would have been six and Bradley with seven had he not dropped out of the competition. It wasn't that he wanted to, but there wasn't much you could do when a family member fell horribly ill. Well, not much if you were sane anyway. He wouldn't listen to anyone who went on about how 'they were sorry' or that 'he could have won.' Pity parties were not Brad's thing, nor did he despise Felix for nabbing the win with him out of the race. The guy was actually really talented, and probably would have been one of his toughest competition had he been on the other team. But he wasn't, lucky for him.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

All Claire could do was laugh and shake her head at what Heyden had said, but indeed, Roussel's name did sound French. But at the remark of her being paired with a girl and wishing that Heyden had too, Claire gasped a little and punched him playfully in the arm, her eyes alight with humour. "While I'm alive the only girl you'll be getting are imaginary ones. But say, since I am such a nice person" she drifted off to create suspension as she leaned forwards slightly, " I'll keep the look out for ya!" she exclaimed happily, doing "I'm keeping my eyes on you" hand sign. Claire had to admit she had warmed up to this guy, and hopefully she could rely on him as he could on her. Futher more, she knew it wouldn't be long before the girls started to notice him. He was attractive, had a confident persona and the new snowboarder was entirely grateful for him being with her right now. With every passing moment, she was feeling more nervous and nervous - now just praying and hoping that she would be on the same team as him ( or someone she knew at the least.)

However, when just about to move to one of the tables when a tall man came to the scene Claire observed him quietly resulting in finding an over confident and obnoxious being. But, even though he came over across this way, Claire couldn't help but love him and laughing when seeing Heyden and Rousell's awkward first meeting, this Rousell would be a grand character that everyone would not forget. But this brought her attention back to the boy she had smiled too, possibly the French man's friend and when seeing him smile at her, Claire faltered for a moment, did he really just smile at her? Being passive, Claire had not really noticed this kind of attention but one thing for sure was that he was handsome and in words, charming. Swallowing suddenly feeling nervous, she broke the gaze and straightened herself out - she was here to train and become the best she could. Distractions were all but welcome.

To introduce herself to the french canadian however, the seventeen year old girl offered a gentle but firm "hi" and then listened in awe as his demanding eyes focused in on her. She was able to equal his aura though and raising her eyebrows, she smiled, mimicking his smirk, unsure of whether he was telling the truth. "I'm afraid I'll believe that when I hear your friend say that to my face. It's one thing to judge another, but to say something that may be false, I'm afraid I can't believe it, Roussel." Gasping slightly, all at once the regret flooded through her - that was perhaps a bit too sincere but alteast it was true! Roussel seemed the kind of man that would stir things up and Claire knew she had to be clever when around him, he was complex but needed to be put in his place. And oh boy, would Claire do that.

"your soo smoking hot claire." That brought her out of her thoughts and having no choice but to look to Heyden as he put his hands on her face, she laughed again putting her forehead against his, glad that the awkward scene had passed. " And your so hot also." She fluttered her eye lashes mockingly and then got her luggage, following Bradley to the seats. Claire knew that Heyden was joking with her and so she would return the favor. " Your hot chocolate, I mean" she said with a snicker as she looked back to him with a goofy face.

One thing she didn't miss though, was his expression when one of female students (piper) came to have a look at the dorm arrangements. Claire could see the interest flicker in his eyes almost at once and looking between the two, Claire nodded to herself. "Chemistry!" she whispered, but not too loud so that the whole audience could hear. But it was at this moment that she noticed it was her room mate and she would have said something if she didn't disappear so fast. Oh, well won't we have a lot to talk about then. Glancing to Heyden again, he looked like a lost puppy and Claire thought that they would be adorable together. Her mission now, would be to bring them together. Laughing silently to herself, she rubbed her hands together, pleased so far with how things were turning out. This is going to be wonderful.

And so now she found herself on one of the seats at the far end next to Heyden watching as Bradely and Astra spoke. Waving to the girl, she offered a warm smile "Hey, I'm Claire! Be sure to look after mr grumpy here" she pointed to Bradley, curling her lips into a "you're welcome" smile before then turning her head and listening to the coaches. To her disappointment, she had been separated from her friends and feeling a stab of nervousness crash over her, she bit her lip and glanced quickly to Felix once again as her thoughts unraveled in her mind. It seemed that she was up against him now, but did Felix really find her hot? A blush came to her face at the thought but inwardly grinning to herself she once again followed the crowd but made her way over to Piper who was next to Felix, Austin and Roussel. Smiling to them all, feeling rather curious about Felix, she masked her emotions, grinning lightly in Austin's direction. " Looks like we are on the same team! The name's Claire." Nodding she held out a hand for Piper. "And it looks like we are roomies, nice to meet you." However, she had dragged Heyden along with her and patting him on the shoulder she looked to him with compassionate eyes before then looking back to Piper. "And this is Heyden. Heyden meet Piper, Piper meet Heyden." Pleased with herself a bright smile lit up her features but sooner or later her eyes drifted to Felix. It was the strangest thing, she found herself unable to think of what to say to him. She was practically frozen on the spot, but she knew she had to act if wasn't to go unnoticed. What do I say? "Ah, so you must be Roussel's friend, Felix?" she said uncertainty, raising her eyebrows to emphasize her emotions. "Roussel, told me what you think about me and well... that's very sweet of you." Wow Claire, you nailed it. Nailed. It.
