Moving In (open)

[Jayne Doe]

Jayne, with the help of her foster parents, unloaded the car and took all of her belongings up to her new dorm room. Well, truth be told, all she carried up was her day bag, as the heavy stuff had been delivered to the Academy a couple of days earlier.

Once her foster mother had help her set the room up; putting up the curtains and making the bed. Her room had a very sophisticated black, white and pink theme, they stepped back and looked at the room. Jayne nodded, pleased with how it looked. "Thanks." She whispered as she hugged the woman who had looked after her for the past two years.

She followed the two adults back down to their car where she hugged both of them tightly. She had grown up in foster homes all of her life and knew that being at a boarding school would really be no different from what she was used to, except she now really had to fend for herself. "What's this?" She asked as her foster father handed her an envelope.

"In case of emergencies." He said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek and climbed into his car.

Jayne waved as they drove off and then turned around to walked back into the building that she would now call home. As she walked up the stairs, she opened the envelope and arched her eyebrows as the credit card she found inside with a simple note There is no limit on this in the cursive handwriting of her foster mother.

She reached the floor that her room was on and headed down to her room, held held high, chin tilted just so, walking as though she owned the place.

[Olivia Cheyenne Kwinn]

Olivia stood at her desk in her room and tapped her fingers on the wooden surface as she scanned the room. She had been sure that she had just had her French notebook in her hand, but now it was nowhere to be seen. She had checked the entire room, and despite her best efforts, her scattered brain wouldn't reveal where she had left the book. Deciding to check the common room, just in case she had left it down there the last time she had been watching TV, she opened her door, planning on heading straight down. However, she saw a tiny blonde coming down the hallway, and raised an eyebrow. It looked like Blue Ridge had a new student. Leaning against the door frame, Olivia nodded at the girl, "Welcome to Blue Ridge." She wondered briefly which room this girl was in, although there were only a few after hers in the hall, so there was a high chance of it being one of them, "Whereabouts in the world are you from?" She liked knowing where her house-mates were from, for a strange reason. Plenty of them were from out of the country, as she was, although most of them were, admittedly, from the United States.

[Jayne Doe]

Jayne came to a sudden stop as a girl appeared out of the door in the room next to her own. When addressed, she tilted her chin a little higher. Yup, this girl was a snob.

"Thank you." She said graciously, and then lifted an eyebrow at the following question. "I come from Berea, Kentucky." She knew that she had been born in Kansas before she had been abandoned, but she wasn't going to go into that, and her foster parents live in Berea.

She looked the other girl up and down, trying to decide what kind of person she would be like from just looking at her. "I'm Jayne. And you would be?" She suddenly missed all her friends from her previous school. Making friends had never been her strong point, and with how she acted toward people it was no wonder.

She glanced down the hall toward her own door, suddenly wanting to be inside that room, but not wanting to barge past the other girl without at least waiting for her answer.

[Olivia Cheyenne Kwinn]

Olivia couldn't help but notice the girl's reaction to being spoken to, and didn't try to suppress a sense of pride. Blue Ribbon was the best house, and obviously, this girl belonged to the right class, just like most of their other members. She heard the answer to her question and nodded, "Not too far a drive, then?" She had no clue where in Kentucky Berea was, but hey, it was in the same state as Blue Ridge. That had to mean it wasn't too far away, unlike Manitoba, far in the North. She wasn't at all homesick, she tried to tell herself, but knew that it was a lie, in some ways. She missed the dogs, waking up to help feed them, the clamor in the yard when they came out with the buckets of food, and her family, just the tiniest bit. However, Blue Ridge was a neat school, and she enjoyed it, and knew that she would have enough time to catch up with her family when she got home for another break.

Olivia could feel the other girl scrutinizing her, but ignored it, instead focusing on the girl's face and hair. As she introduced herself, as Jayne, Olivia nodded, "Olivia." She gave a small smile and held out her hand, "It's nice to meet you." She had noticed this girl seemed to want to distance herself, but telling herself that she'd give her the benefit of the doubt for a while, until she got settled.

Noticing the glance past her, Olivia decided to make her exit, at least for the moment. She grinned at Jayne, and tried to make a joke about it, "As much as I'd love to chat for a bit, I was headed down to grab my notebook. If you've finished unpacking and have any question about how to get somewhere, feel free to knock!"
