Ajax Lysander

Ajax looked at Sammy, tried not to laugh, but laughed anyways, "OH man, you've got a lot to learn. There's more to impressing a girl then those muscles."

Plzen wrote:Jan Pavel was sharing this laugh.

"Ah, but my good Ezri," he replied, struggling to speak while humored, "why would I, when Swag over here has so graciously volunteered?"

In fact, Jan Pavel was so well humored that he cared not in the slightest that Ezri missed out his middle name.

Ajax looked at Jan and nodded his head, "Yeah, if Sammy here thinks that muscles can impress girls, send him in first."

Videssos wrote:"O-oh, It's fine, I was already awake," Kaoru replied, still somewhat uncomfortable. Attempting to find out what was going on, he inquired, "Go where?"

Ajax looked at Kaoru, and then said very dramatically, "To find..... girls."

Somehow, a well-muscled arm was not particularly impressive to a person who bunked in the same room with a street robber for a year. Nonetheless, Jan Pavel was amused.

"Ah, we will see about that..."

Jan Pavel's eyes shined. Well, metapohrically, anyways.

He still took a moment to greet this girl... No, boy.

"Good morning, Kaoru. I trust you slept soundly in this cold weather?"

"Uh...hi there." She gave a shy wave, and began to browse her phone.

She felt very uncomfortable sitting next to Cassie, as she would with anybody she wasn't too familiar with, but thought that getting up would seem rude. Isabella looked up from her phone, glancing around the room.

"I'm Cassie." She said keeping quiet, looking at the other girl in the room she waved her hand at her,"Good morning." She said quietly as well.

Isabella forced a smile.
"H-hi, Cassie....I'm Isabella..."

She started to absentmindedly play a mobile game.

I should get back to the rec room as nobody has gathered near the cafeteria. Don't want to be known as that weird girl. First I'll look at my watch and then I'll look at the clock. 7:51 on my watch yet it's 7:44 on the clock. No wonder why my inconsistency with time in my mind is happening. I left at 7:45 watch time thinking it was 7:45 clock time. Olivia decides it's a good time to get back to the rec room as to converse with some of the other girls for a few final minutes before breakfast. As a result, she walks in right when a certain question is being asked.

"I came here to mature as my sister Marissa spoils me to the point I wanted to prove I am not a child anymore. My parent's agreed that sending me here would be a positive development for me as they probably saw Marissa as an overbearing, smothering presence despite being only a year older than me. As a result, I was sent here as to not endanger Marissa's chances of getting athletic scholarships for softball as she did hit .422 with 10 HR and 57 RBIs last season as a sophomore on the varsity team," Olivia said.

Ezri
Ezri chuckled a little at Jan Pavel's comment. "Alright then...it's settled..Swag will go first", he exclaimed. "You know Swag I'm sure personality is much more impressive", he added jokingly then noticing the new arrival. "Morning Kaoru!", he greeted the...boy.

Kaoru blinked for a moment, a bit caught off guard when it turned out that the others were planning on looking for girls. It was quite obvious why they would do such a thing. "I, um... see..." Of course, he was quite imaginative, and he realized where such a 'girl-hunting' quest would lead. The overly feminine boy blushed faintly, only to hear Jan's greeting. "Oh... yes, thank you..."

"Let's do it then," Sammy said, heading in the general direction of where the girls dorm was. "Wait, where are they?" he asked, realizing he had no idea how to get around this place.

Cassie found herself looking at the clock repeatedly, "So hungry." She thought to herself. She was a little happy at the sudden influx of girls, at least she wasn't alone so that was good. Looking and seeing Isabella on her phone made Cassie silently curse to herself,"I should've brought mine." She said to herself. Getting up and excusing herself she went into her dorm room and picked up her phone from the plug, before retrieving her earphones. Deciding some music would be nice she played "Say It Ain't So." by Weezer before re-entering the rec-room and sitting back down on the couch.

Jan Pavel Syrovy was surprised many times today. Here went one more.

"Ah... You don't know?"

He thought back hard... Yesterday... Where did the girls go?

It was hopeless. If a jolly chap like Sammy couldn't remember, how could he?

"Say, Swag, why don't we just observe which building they walk out of for breakfast, and try again this afternoon?"

Jan Pavel thought for half a second.

"After all, we will have much more time in the afternoon than we do now."

When Cassie got back, she should notice that Isabella is now sitting across from her on an armchair, looking a bit more pleasant than she had before. Well, it should be a million times less awkward for me now..., Isabella thought joyfully.

She was looking at Cassie absentmindedly, daydreaming about something.

Cassie waved her hand at Isabella, but more as to get her attention as she sat back down at the couch. "You okay?" She asked taking out one earbud.

Olivia turns her head as she hears footsteps. Is it the staff? Nope, just Cassie going back to the dorm room. What are the rules about visitors to each other dorms? Another set of footsteps approaches. Could this be a staff member or is this one of the guys from the other dorm? Yet again it was Olivia's roommate, but Cassie had some earphones now. "Could there be some guys coming into our wing soon?" Olivia asked the others in the rec room.

Sammy shrugged before nodding. "Yeah, I guess that works."

He had only arrived here yesterday, which was why he didn't know where things were. Thinking of breakfast, I wonder if the food here is decent...

"Well, nothing to do now but wait for the breakfast call, is there?"

Jan Pavel reached into his overcoat pocket again.

"I think I'll just go sketch another chessboard..."

~...And then, humanity is threatened by-~

"You okay?," asked Cassie. Huh? Isabella snapped back into reality. She was pretty deep into her daydream, and didn't notice that she was staring right at Cassie. "Wh-wha? Oh! Uh, sorry, I...I was just staring off into space..." She smiled sheepishly, feeling her face grow warm.

Isabella turned her head briefly to Olivia.
"Uh, I didn't think that guys were allowed in the female dorm..."

Ezri
Ezri was silently thankful that he didn't have to get into the awkward situation of pretending to be interested romantically in girls. "The afternoon is probably a better idea anyway", Ezri remarked.

"I would be happy to hear that. The last thing I want is some guy calling me a flat chested nerd in my own wheelhouse," Olivia responded. To be frank, that is just one thing that Olivia feared the most is being called boy-like by males.

Shrugging Cassie paid mind to herself before hearing Olivia. "I hope not." She said quietly. For all she knew know one here knew of her, well they knew she was a girl, but didn't know she used to be a male. Frankly unless questioned she would keep to herself for as long as her stay here, she saw no need to tell people of her, the real her. Maybe it was being in a new town, but she felt the need to closet herself whenever possible, and keep her secret buried with a steel lock. She didn't know how the girls would react, and only made her heart sink to know what would happen if the boys discovered.

Kaoru spoke up then. "Ah... actually, I might have an idea. Yesterday, a member of staff mistook me for a girl, and tried to give me directions to the girls dormitory, before the headmaster, who was walking nearby, came along and corrected them," he paused briefly, trying to keep calm whilst talking, before continuing, "I believe it's on the right of the path that leads up to the school building..."

"I sort of like people like myself who are introverted nerds. At my old school, people obsessed with having "swag" were my least favorites as they'd call me flat chested and a boy because I play Fire Emblem and listen to Kansas instead of Kendrick Lamar. They pretended to be something they weren't, cool and awesome. Wearing a Obey hat doesn't make one cool nor does pretending to be some rapper. And don't even get me started on guys who wear sagging pants," Olivia stated.

Lazaro Saavedra

With the alarm on his phone blaring, Lazaro slowly rose up from the bed, sitting down near the head. 7:40 huh, probably would've been better to set it for 7:30 next time, he thought, turning the alarm off. Standing up from the bed, he looked over to his roommate, still asleep on the other bed. He looks cute, he thought, but I'm not into greasers anyway. Besides, he's probably straight. Lazaro was wearing only a white muscle shirt and blue boxers as he stood there, observing the room. It's the way he liked sleeping, all open and uncovered so that he wouldn't sweat too much on the sheets during summer days.

He got fixed up quickly, going first to the bathroom to brush his teeth, comb his hair, put on deodorant, and to use the toilet. Lazaro then went back into the room to decide what to wear among his, at the moment, limited amount of clothes.

"Gotta look good for the guys, who knows who'll be interested," he whispered, picking up a pair of khaki pants and a grey shirt. Going back to the bed, he pulled from under it his pair of deer skin moccasins, which he slipped into with ease. Lazaro went back into the bathroom to check his appearance one more time before going out to the rec room where he could hear some of the other boys were already at. Taking his phone and putting on a maroon sweater , Lazaro walked towards the rec room after making sure that he looked presentable.

There was already a decent sized group of people there, talking about girls and breakfast with each other when Lazaro walked in.

«Hola hola, ¿como están todos hoy?» he said, arms raised, looking at everyone. Clearing his throat, he repeated in English,

"How's everyone today?" He winked at Ezri as he walked over to the couch, taking out his phone so he could check on the day's news.

"Unfortunately that's a sight seen all too much back in Cali especially down southward." She says rapidly switching the song track on her phone, but still giving her attention to Olivia.

"I wonder if we should go to the boy's dorm to see how things are over there?" Sofia asked everyone.

"Well, chaps, I'd have suspected that we'd be having breakfast now, eh? I wonder if it'd be alright if we were to-"

Gordon was cut off (how rude!) by two quick, electronic beeps vaguely simulating a bell that could be heard across the school. That could mean only one thing: Breakfast time.

Sure enough, when Gordon looked up at the clock above the television, it read 8:00 AM. As he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday's lunch, he quickly jumped off the couch, and began to race towards the dorm entrance, back to the outside.

"Last one to the cafeteria is a dirty pauper!"

He raced out of the dormitory, pushing past Headmaster Spencer, who was standing outside of the main school building, enjoying a cigarette. How rude, he thought as he watched the boy run past, into the building. He shrugged, and stared off into the distance, looking at the mountains past the front gate of the school.

Ezri
Ezri noticed some other boy wink at him..."Surely that's a good sign", he thought to himself. He somehow managed to excuse himself from Ajax, Jan Pavel and the others to move over to the newcomer.
"Hi there!", Ezri greeted the boy. "I don't think we've met yet. I'm Ezri. Ezri Kuznetsov and you are?", he added as the breakfast announcement rang out.
