Leon Wong

The boy nodded. "Ah, that's an interesting idea. As for why I'm here..." Leon felt his pocket for his phone, only to find it's absence. "I guess I left it in my room. Anyway, I'm pretty good with electronics and my parents were fine with sending me to a school overseas. I guess I'm also a pretty good drummer. Also, thanks for pointing out the cafeteria. I would've taken at least another ten minutes to find it otherwise." He stated, a bit of amusement in his tone. Hearing a voice call nearby, he glanced over his shoulder to spot a girl. She looked a bit panicked.

Maverick

Maverick nodded his head, trying to hide his surprise. "Drummer, that's cool. I prefer the guitar, but I know quite a bit with the drums." Maverick repositioned his guitar back onto his back properly. Maverick pulled out a small slip of card from his pocket and lifts his hand to give it to Leon. "I'll probably see you around, but just in case, this contains my number. Text or call if you ever want to just jam out - you know, I play guitar, and you on the drums," Rick casually shrugged as he said that.

Maverick, hearing the panicked voice of a girl, turned around. Looking the girl up and down, Maverick smirked. "What seems to be the problem?"

A boy met Florenza's eyes. She stumbled sheepishly up to the pair, brushing off gravel from her knees. Looking down at her knees, she noticed a small tear in her jeans. How embarrassing...Did they see? she thought to herself. The fall must've been harder than she originally thought. She met the boy's eyes again. He had long, brown hair with bangs that nearly shaded his hazel eyes. A rather lean guy, but a bit shorter than she.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, realizing she was sizing him up and down. But when she looked up, she then noticed the individual next to him. Her eyes recognized every detail of the golden-blonde boy's physicality. A beautifully sculpted jawline with sunken cheekbones, accompanied by scattered freckles across his pale face. His lips were defined with a lip piercing, and his left ear was also accented with a piercing. This boy seemed to be a boy who took care of himself.
Florenza shook her head and blinked.
"Sorry," she spit out, realizing she was obviously staring at the other boy. My name is Florence. I am from Italy, new here," she began in a thick Italian accent, then turning to talk to the blonde boy. My English is not best. Can you help find my way around?" She pushed a strand of her brown hair behind her right ear, her eyes nervously darting back and forth from her feet to the blonde's eyes.

Leon Wong

Leon nodded, taking the slip of paper carefully. "Thanks, sounds fun. Who knows, maybe we could start a band or something." He laughed, wondering what his family would think of that. Looking back at the girl, he learned that she was from Italy. The small grin still on his face from his previous comment, Leon noted the visible features that 'Florence' showed from being from the Southern European country; the most noticable was her tan. She was pretty, to say the least.

Nodding, the dark-haired boy used his hand to brush his bangs out of his eyes. "Sure, though I think that Rick here could help you more. I only know where the rooms and the cafeteria are at the moment. English, however, is also not my first language, so I could try to help you with that. I'm Leon, by the way. As he introduced himself, the 16-year-old's smile unconsciously disappeared to his normal expression.

Leon couldn't help but notice that the girl wasn't pulling a suitcase, or anything for that matter. "Oh, did you already find the dorms?" He asked, gesturing to the lack of bags.

F L O R E N Z A

Florenza listened attentively to the boy. He speaks rather polite, she thought to herself, though in Italian. She opens her small mouth to begin with "Grazie..." but soon catches onto her mistake. "Oh my, I am sorry. I did mean thank you." She scratches the top of her head with her long nails timidly, smiling down towards her feet. With her chin tucked to her neck, her eyes gaze upwards at the boy, who had introduced him as Leon. A subtle, welcoming laugh emerges from her throat. "Hello Leon and Rick. It is a pleasure meet you."
She adjusts her posture, spreading her feet a bit more apart to seem more composed. After hearing that Leon's first language is also not English, she releases a sigh of relief. "That is good, Leon. I do need help. Grazie," she stutters, squeezing her eyes shut and shaking her head slightly, "Thank you."
Looking down at her hands, she notices her unzipped clutch, bereft of a majority of the cash it once held. Although, that wasn't the only thing she was now bereft of, as Leon had just hinted at. She scans the grounds, searching for her lost cash as she replies, "Dohrum?" She notices a twenty dollar bill blowing towards a nearby bush. Bending over to pick it up, she continues. "I am sorry. I do not know what a 'dohrum' is. But I have not yet found my bed. I have not found any place." Carefully, she slips the money back into her clutch, zipping it shut. She lowers it down towards her hips, holding onto it with two hands. As her eyes are still scanning for the rest of her cash, she finds her gaze sticking to the blonde-haired boy, whom goes by the name of Rick.

Leon Wong

Leon glanced back at the building that he and Rick had just come from. "Okay, then the dorms are in that building over there." The boy nodded to the housing for the incoming students. Just ask he pointed out her desired location, his eyebrows scrunched up in confusion. "Wait, so you didn't find your room yet? Is someone else bringing your luggage then?" Leon was a tad bit curious at this point. She was staying here, right? Florence had stated that she was from Italy, so he assumed that she wouldn't be staying with her family unless they all had moved there. She had also mentioned that she had "not found a place".

The Asian boy glanced at the blonde next to him that the Italian girl had also been looking at. Though Leon had not said anything, his gaze seemed to show a look of confusion that he had hoped Rick shared.

F L O R E N Z A

Leon asked about the absence of Florenza's luggage in the event that she had not found her dorm yet. Her eyes grew wide as she was taken aback by the question, but soon resorted to looking down at her hands. An attempt to respond resulted in a croak. She stuttered a bit before she was finally able to explain the course of events that had taken place prior to her arrival at the academy.
"Well..." she managed to choke out, as she started to dab at the corners of her eyes, "you know, my English not best. At airport, they lost my bags. I do not know enough English to know what they said about my bags." Realizing the stupidity of her actions, she laughed quietly. "So I leave to come here without bags and only money." Sighing, she cups her face with her hands. She is shameful she did not handle the past situation about her luggage more maturely. What she told Leon was indeed truthful, albeit not the full truth. Florenza skillfully managed to dance around the fact that she was infuriated with the loss of her bags, and so she was too stubborn to listen to the airport security on how to retrieve her luggage. In Italy, such a situation would never have occurred. But of course she will refuse to mention that particular part to the story, for she does not wish to be seen as the high maintenance type on her day of arrival.
Moving her hands away from her face, she looked at both Leon and Rick, noting that Leon seemed genuinely confused. His eyebrows were furrowed, allowing Florenza to perceive a perplexed countenance. She had hoped she wouldn't make such an impression, and therefore realized she must recover. However, she wasn't entirely sure how. So instead, she just went along with the current conversation to try and receive all the help she can find from the pair - and hopefully she'd come across more composed eventually.

Leon Wong

Hearing Florence's story, the boy nodded in understanding. "Ah. Well, I bet we could find you some stores around here for some sort of clothing, and if you have a luggage tag with your number on it, they may try to call you. If the airport isn't too far away, then maybe we can get your things back." Leon paused, wondering if the girl could understand his words fully, as she seemed to know only basic English. "They could have saved your stuff. It is not usual for it to be unclaimed, and it is probably in the lost and found." The dark-haired boy tried, saying his proposition a bit bluntly, hoping the girl figure out what he was talking about.

Scratching his left cheek, Leon raised his muti-coloured eyes in thought. "Though, we might not be able to do it today. I don't know about you two, but I don't have a vehicle right now. Guess I could always buy one, but I haven't the slightest idea of where to get anything around here."

Leon was still a bit confused, though this time about Florence's reaction. He guessed that he could understand; she came to a new place where she couldn't speak the language and lost her possessions. It was hard enough for himself, though he at least had his older brother fly in with him and had a general understanding about the area, culture, and language.

The high school junior also knew that with a little information, he could track the flight the Italian had gone on and find out exactly where her lost items should be, though he didn't care to mention it until the girl confirmed that that's what she wanted. He also didn't want to immediately sound like a total geek around the first two other teenagers he met at his new school, but if that's what it took, then so be it.

F L O R E N Z A

Florenza listened closely as Leon spoke slowly and enunciated his words for ease of her lesser English vocabulary. She was grateful, and was able to understand the basics of what he was attempting to communicate. Of what she could make out, she understood that retrieving her belongings may not be an impossible feat. It took her a second to comprehend it, but when she did, she smiled and immediately perked up. "That is possible? Oh, I am happy! I am very happy! Grazie!" she sung, hardly attempting to contain her immense relief. Her eyes closed, remembering how soft her silk pajamas feel on her skin that she had made imperative to pack. She realized she must retrieve it alone, however, to avoid the two boys from finding out how she truly reacted to the situation. When she thought of that, she suddenly remembered that there would be a difficult obstacle to overcome.
"Oh no. Airport is long away. Ride to academy took three hours," she informed them regretfully. Her face was overcome with a sudden sorrow, realizing she would most likely have to purchase a complete wardrobe. A nervous laugh made its way out of her while her eyes began to dart from Leon, to Rick, to her clutch with less money than she had originally brought along. Unaware of her next step, she took a deep breath in attempt to avoid tears.
She thought of home. She thought of her family's seamstress who would create the finest silk garments in all of Florence. She thought of the bear that her governess had gifted her with when she was a mere three years old. She thought of all her memories, packed away in her suitcases, being lost in travel. Florenza did not wish to start over - all she wanted was to return to her true home. With her current 'fresh' start, all that has occurred has not been in her favor.
"I think we will have to go to store you said," Florenza announced, taking another deep breath.

Leon Wong

Leon realised just how much her things meant to her and waved off her concerns. "It'll be fine." The boy assured her. "We can easily have the staff track it and mail it here. I just need to know the airport and we'll be set." The dark-haired boy confident in his abilities. "You still have your plane info, right?" Leon brought his hazel eyes to meet Florence's own, his expression unreadable.

Hearing his stomach create a sound, indicating his hunger, Leon carelessly slid his hand into his jeans pocket, only to find once again that he had left his device in his dorm. Muttering something in mandarin that could possibly be reasoned as a curse, he replaced his hand to its former position before crossing his arms. "Well, once I get to my phone anyway. If you really want to get more things just in case, there's nothing stopping you." His gaze lazily moved to the blonde next to him seemed to ask a silent question of authentication.
