Vance had just left his last class for the day and was headed home to drop off his books and to get ready for his shift at the bookstore. He had his headphones plugged in and was listening to some music as he walked.
Echo was closing up her tattoo parlor for the day, having no other appointments been made and no walk ins. It had been a slow week, but she wasn’t too concerned over the lack of customers.

XD Ricky's just an adopted child then really. )
Fiona let out a laugh, patting Ricky on the shoulder. "Well you don't want to disappoint your old friends then huh. Just remember to always stretch out when your done and to take it easy on some days. As much as I love your enthusiasm to run outside of practice, we don't need you hurt."

(Apparently! They both have to deal with his over enthusiasm for sports XD)
Ricky huffed softly and stood tall, puffing out his chest until one of the clips that held his bangs in place so happened to come undone at the moment and flopped into his face, causing him to scrunch his nose and go cross-eyed to see it. "I know Coach Fiona, and stretch before and after practice and have even been watching my diet. I just find rest days to be so boring!" He said with a soft laugh of amusement as he grabbed the clip and fumbled to put it back in his hair. (I imagine he calls them Coach Fiona and Coach Sean, since he has both XD He probably struggled a lot as a freshman with Coach Meadows and Coach Meadows!)

Fiona smiled, giving Ricky a nod of understanding. "I know it's hard, especially when you love it. I struggled to stop too, but that's how I ended up tearing my ACL and MCL when I was a senior. I was out for the second half of the season. Trust me, sitting out with an injury is far worse than taking a day for yourself. Perhaps you need a hobby to fill your down time?" she suggested.
(Fiona is chill, she probably tells all her students to call her Fiona tbh. She's like formalities? With me? That's funny. Especially when my husband is also a coach here. )

"I know that feeling! I got a really bad concussion from a bike accident when I was a junior in high school. I was always getting yelled at because I tried to go back to my team when I was a totally benched." Ricky said easily, always energetic and hard to get down even in the thick of it. "I don't really have any hobbies, well...Soccer was my hobby until I ended up on the soccer team, but don't tell Coach Sean!" He said with a glance around, expecting him to appear now that he said something. "I'm not really good or interested in anything outside of the field."

Kyle shook his head. "No it's no trouble at all. Its good to have the connections anyway for other students." He spoke before looking at her dog. "Whats your pups name?" He asked, giving the dog a smile.
Quinn jumped up when she heard a bang on her door. She hurried to open it, seeing her brother. "Jeez Nate! You almost gave me a heart attack." She spoke, stepping aside to let him in.
Erik looked up as his wife sat down on his desk. He smiled tiredly at her. "Sometimes I'm not even sure what they are thinking." He shook his head before putting his pen down. "What are you doing here?"
Oak was leaning back in his office chair, taking a break from looking at film. He rubbed his eyes before yawning. When he removed his hands he saw a lady in his doorway, looking rather lost. "Hello? Can I help you?" He asked Rebecca.

Lilian tipped her head some before lifting her head to face him, her fingers no longer moving along the pages. "Heidi; you can pet her if you want, this is her break from work." She said, reaching down and brushing her hand lightly against Heidi's back to make sure she had put her vest on. Sometimes she could forget, but as soon as she felt the rough material she ruffled Heidi's ears before sitting up straight again.

He said with a glance around, expecting him to appear now that he said something. "I'm not really good or interested in anything outside of the field." Fiona leaned forward, tying her hair up into a ponytail before standing back up. "Let's jog, and we'll try and come up with some hobbies for you." With that, she started at an easy pace, hoping that Ricky would stay with her, it had been a while since she had run the track herself. "Do you like to play video games? Or perhaps do crafty things?" |

Ricky jumped when he watched her start at a jog before quickly catching up with her and jogging along, thinking about what he did between sports and school. "Not really. I wake up, go for a five mile run, get back to eat and take a shower, go to class, go to practice, go back to my dorm and do homework, then eat and go to bed early to wake up early and start again." He said as he looked at her, jogging easily even though he was itching to increase the speed. "I never got into video games or reading or anything, I always just wanted to be on the move."

Nate gave a half-hearted shrug and a quick sorry before he dived onto her bed, a black bag in his hand. "Guess what I found while I was out today. It's fantastic!"
Serena laughed, "I know the feeling, one of my students wrote that human cells have walls the other day. And, I finished my own grading so I thought I would come in to say hi. Carter texted me and told me he was going to a friend's house after school today so looks like it's just you me and Skyler tonight."
Rebecca brightened as she caught sight of Oak. "Oh wonderful." she proclaimed, taking a step into his office. "My name is Rebecca, I teach dance here but um, I've never been in this building before and it seems I've gotten turned around. I have no idea how to get back out to the parking lot."

"So, not really a sedentary type of person. I could have figured that one out huh?" Fiona joked, slowing as they jogged around the curve of the track. "Well perhaps you could look into going to weekly yoga or something along those lines. It keeps you moving, but it's also relaxing and even helps you stretch."

Damien was walking quickly down the street, his head down on the sidewalk. He gasped in surprise as he ran headfirst into someone. "I-I'm so sorry, I should have been looking at where I was going, are you alright?" he stuttered, looking at Vance with wide eyes.

Ricky looked at her and shifted his weight to slow down around the curve, "Yoga? Never tried it, really only ever saw the girls doing that." He said honestly. It wasn't that he was against it, he just wasn't seen around girls very often, always just hung out with the guys and whatever girl they brought along, but never tried to actively talk to them. Well, outside of adults anyways, he was surprisingly a shy kid around girls.

Vance let out a grunt as someone ran into him and looked at Damien, “I’m fine. And it’s alright, I should have been paying attention too.” He said, “What about you?”

Frankie tucked the corner of her sheet beneath her painfully thin dorm mattress, only for the other corner to pop off...again.
"Shoot!" she exclaimed. Stretching at an odd angle, the petite girl managed to wrangle the sheet onto her bed and finish making it before plopping down in the middle of the hard floor, pulling a shoebox from her big rolling suitcase and opening the top. Tucked inside was a short section of fairy lights with clothes pins and her Instax camera. Gods, she hoped she liked her roommate and they liked her.
Leaning back on her hands to crane her neck to look at the mirror mounted to the back of the dorm room's door, Frankie took in her disheveled appearance. Brown corduroy high-waisted shorts, baggy tan-and-green color block hoodie, chunky trainers. Some band-aids on her knees. The top of her unruly hair pulled into a hasty tie with a scrunchie.
Yeah, that wouldn't do. Scooting to the door to look in the mirror, Frankie let her hair fall from its tie, running her fingers through it to get it back into shape...whatever shape that was. Her messy hair was some weird amalgamation of a pixie cut and a short bob, falling just beneath her ears with cowlicks everywhere. Deciding she wouldn't get that mess under control, she fished out her froggy bucket hat and put it on, assessing herself once more before returning to unpacking.
"Much better!"

Fiona scoffed, giving Ricky a slightly disapproving stare as they continued to jog, "Oh come on Ricky, activities don't have genders. Lots of men practice yoga as well, and if you don't want to be around others you could always try it by yourself. There are lots of DVDs and online videos for people to follow along with."

Damien wrung his hands together nervously, "I'm okay I think, just surprised that's all." he replied quickly, refusing to look at Vance in the eyes.

Delilah was huffing, completely out of breath as she lugged her suitcase down the hallway, "304, 305, ah 306! Perfect! This is the one Silas!" she exclaimed to her cousin.
Silas stood behind Delilah, just as out of breath as he held her other bags. "That's great, do you think you could open the door?" he huffed quickly.
Delilah placed her bags on the ground before fishing into her purse for her key. Jamming it in the lock she pushed the door open, blinking in surprise as she caught sight of Frankie. "Oh, um hi." she said quickly, eyes racking up and down Frankie with a slight frown. What was she wearing?

"Oh, um hi." she said quickly, eyes racking up and down Frankie with a slight frown. What was she wearing?"Oh my gosh, hi!" Frankie jumped to her feet and stuck her arm straight out, her hand barely poking out of the cuff of her sleeve. "I'm Frankie Marsh! Are you my roommate? It's so nice to meet you!" she said with a huge grin. |

Vance blinked as the younger student avoided looking at him and gave a slight frown, “Are you sure? You seem to be in a hurry.” He said, picking his bag up and slinging it over his shoulder.

Delilah gave her a polite but awkward smile, grabbing her hand and shaking it half-heartedly. "I'm Delilah Dusk. Nice to meet you." After letting go, Delilah quickly smoothed down her skirt before she grabbed her suitcase and hauled it in the room, Silas trailing behind her silently. "Oh and this is my cousin, he's a freshman here too."
Silas raised his hand in a wave, a shy smile appearing on his face. "Silas," he murmured, pointing at himself.

“Oh, it’s not far from here.” Vance said, pointing in the direction of the bookstore, “I’m supposed to be going there here in a bit, but I can show you the way if you want me to.” He added.

And your outfit is so cute, too," Frankie smiled amicably before turning to Silas, clasping his raised hand between her own half sweater-clad ones and bouncing excitedly. "And hi to you too, Silas! I guess cool names run in the family, huh? It's so exciting that we're all here, right?" |

Silas's face turned bright red as Frankie grabbed his hand, he stood frozen in place unsure what to do.
Delilah raised her hand to her mouth, trying to cover her laughter as she watched Silas. "Oh thank you, you can call me Lilah if you want." she answered casually, placing her bag on top of the bare second mattress and opening it up. "So, Frankie, do you have a major picked out?"

Completely oblivious to Silas's predicament, Frankie dropped his hand and hopped onto her bed, swinging her legs over the side. "Oh, yeah!" she said. "Two, actually. Art and environmental studies; I don't really know what I wanna do in art so I'm kinda everywhere with that, but I'm really interested in wetland habitat and wildlife conservation!" She pointed to her hat and did a goofy wink. "I really like frogs, obviously! What about you?"

Leah nodded, scratching the little white dog's ears "His name is Egg yes. He's my emotional support dog. Isn't he cute?" She looked up at him, a slight frown appearing as he stated he was lost. "Lost? Where are you trying to go? I can help you find your way there. I know this town like the back of my hand!" Michael returned her smirk, grabbing her waist and pulling her in for a kiss. "Didn't we almost get caught last time? I'm not sure I'm ready to get yelled at by Dean North, Oak and Coach Skye for "disorderly conduct" and "unprofessional behavior". He replied, lowering his voice to imitate Coach Skye's. "I'm trying to go...everywhere, I guess!" Oliver exclaimed, hoping that she would be willing to help him. "I transferred here. I'm new here." He explained, before he pet Egg's head once again. "He's adorable. Cutest dog I've ever seen. I wish I had one just like him. Oh...right! Me being lost! If you'd like to show me places, I wouldn't say no. Pretty sure new friends are a good thing." He decided. "My name's Oliver." "The danger makes it better." Sasha mused, her voice as smooth as honey, but rough as stone. She quirked her lips up, kissing Michael back without an ounce of shame, before lowering her voice to match his mocking tone. "Be sure not to be indecent on University grounds. We have sticks up our asses." She snickered. |

Silas stood unmoving for a moment, his hand still raised in the air where Frankie had been holding it.
Delilah smacked him on the shoulder before looking back over at Frankie, "I'm undeclared right now, I don't really know what I want to do yet, I just know I wanted to be out of my house. Silas though, he has a major. Right Sil?"
Silas blinked, looking at Delilah like he didn't hear her completely. "R-right, I'm uh majoring in theater, with a minor in dance." he replied, rubbing his neck awkwardly as he tried to contain his embarrassment.
Delilah let out another giggle, pulling out her clothes from her suitcase, most still obviously having tags on them. The clothes ranged from crop tops and skirts, to flowing dresses and tight t-shirts. It was very different than the way Delilah had dressed in high school and she couldn't wait to show it off. Glancing back over at Frankie, she was a bit disappointed that her roommate seemed to be on the eccentric side, but she supposed she didn't exactly have to be friends with her if she didn't want to. "Having two majors much mean you're taking a lot of classes yeah?"
