The woman nodded, holding her hand out and glancing at Estelle. "May I?" Estelle nodded, letting her pet Angel and keep awing over him. In the mean time, she looked around and spotted a nervous girl, smiling warmly at her and waving at her with her free arm. "Hey!"
She seems nice enough, Juliana thought to herself. "Hey… so it's kinda my first year here, and, uh, I'm really lost," she started off with, but didn't know if that was the best thing to start off with. It had seemed so much easier before she was actually standing in front of the building. "Cute dog you have there," she mentioned off-handedly before returning to the original subject. "So, I was kinda hoping someone could help me figure out where the heck I'm supposed to go?"
Estelle nodded. "I'm also new here, and I'm pretending I know what I'm doing so the older kids don't do anything to me," she said with a laugh. "I think we have to go to orientation or something, but I don't know where it is."
"Haha okay then," Juliana smiled. "So, I suppose we can get lost around here then?" She turned slightly to the woman who she assumed was the receptionist and quickly introduced herself, saying, "Juliana Kennedy, first year."
Estelle chuckled and nodded. "That was already my plan, this time I have somebody to get lost with."
The receptionist snapped out of awing over Angel and smiled at Juliana, holding out her hand. "I'll show you two your dorms and then I'll take you to your orientation."
(Sorry about that! School had gotten cancelled because of the virus and everything is confusing!)
(Haha it's okay. I'm pretty spotty myself with replies.)
"Oh- thank you so much!" Juliana smiled brightly at the receptionist. She then turned to Estelle, saying, "Well, I guess we don't have to get lost anymore!" She laughed softly, taking the receptionist's hand to shake it, following her to their dorms shortly after.
(Also sorry for the short reply, but shall we do a timeskip?)
The receptionist checked her list to check where their dorm rooms were and headed in that direction, smiling in response at Juliana. "No problem!"
(It's fine and sure! Can you start?)
(Yeah, no problem!)
When they arrived at the dorm, the receptionist told the two, "Well, it looks like you too are roommates! What a coincidence! Well, I'll leave you with a map," she handed Estelle a folded piece of paper, and continued, "And if you need me, you know where I'll be."
Estelle smiled thankfully and took the folded map. "Expect me at your desk within the next hour," she said jokingly with a slight laugh before turning to Juliana. "Hello, roommate.'
"Haha, and me as well. And hello! I guess that's even better, since we'll get to know each other even better! What do you play?" Juliana asked, stepping backwards into the dorm as she faced Estelle.
"Oh, I play piano!" Estelle replied with a smile. "What about you?" She asked, walking into the room after Juliana had walked in.
"Violin!" Juliana said, beaming. "That's so cool, maybe we could try a duet sometime?"
"I would love to!" Estelle glanced at her phone to check the time. "How about we talk about the duet after the orientation?"
"Oh? Yay, I'm excited!" Juliana laughed softly. "And yes, orientation. Haha, I forgot about that. We might as well go do that first."
Estelle chuckled softly. "We should, or else we wouldn't know where to go or what to do." She walked over to one side of the room and set her suitcase there, glancing at Juliana. "Ready?"
