"Well, I'm going to start heading off to the assembly to make sure that I'm not late. I'm sure we'll all chat and catch up soon" Claudia said to all of her friends from the newspaper from last year. "Good luck!" She said to them, all cheery, and waved to them before heading off to the assembly herself, and instead of making her way to all of the other friends she knew, she decided, for once, just to sit by herself and see what happened. Basically, to see if she had anyone else show up and talk to her, and potentially make some new friends. Or, if nothing happened at all. It didn't really matter, she was just curious. Though, she expected it was only a matter of time before one of her friends saw her alone and either gestured her over, or joined her, anyway.
Karena, after having settled into her dorm room and unpacked a bit, had decided that she was going to go wander around some more a bit, and then head off to the assembly. She ended up doing basically just that, wandering around, and now making her way into the assembly and sitting down for the first day's introductions. She was excited, honestly. A bit nervous, but mostly excited, because this was the beginning of her whole new life in America, and she hoped that it would be a good introduction to things. She basically just sat down somewhere at random.
