(okay! Here's the starter!)

Elora was waiting in the north parking lot, where she was waiting for the rest of people in her group.
She had signed up for the buddy program during first semester. It seemed fun to make friends with people over the summer, as she knew no one but her roomate. She was leaning against her car, her long, thin legs crossed at the ankles and scrolled through her instagram feed. She stopped on a comic strip someone had posted and began reading it.

Camie was all packed and excited, he spotted Elora leaning against the car. And he made his way over to her. He was all smiles and excitement, though with his small pony Tail and feminine features he looked more like a big girl then a guy.
He waved at Elora as he approached, "hey!"

Dewey was very excited. Even as he pulled into the parking lot, one of his legs was already bouncing up and down, which would have stressed his poor mother to her breaking point if she was with him. Going to France was going to be incredible and Dewey was just as excited to meet all the new people going with him. He'd signed up for the buddy program the minute he'd heard about it, wanting to meet more people on and off campus if he could. A tug of worry pulled at his heart for his mother and siblings, but he knew they were more than capable of taking care of themselves if necessary, he should just focus on having fun.

Dewey grabbed his bags from the car, probably more than he needed but to be on the safe side he brought extra in case any else needed things. He looked around for any others and spotted a girl, and tall person standing around. Dewey figured he could just go up and ask them if they were here for the buddy program, worst thing they could say was no. He walked with a bouncy gait, waving and grinning the entire walk over.
"Hey! Hey you guys! Are you here for the buddy program too? This is gonna be so much fun!" The blonde boy grinned massively, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He had a round face, with dimples when he smiled. His bag clicked on the ground as he dragged it behind him. He didn't seem to have much regard for any stares he got, he was either oblivious or unbothered.

Alex was both nervous and excited, the two emotions practically going to war with each other in their mind. They pulled their car into the parking lot, the ancient vehicle shuddering with relief once they turned it off. They stayed in their seat for a few minutes, taking deep breaths to calm their nerves. They signed up for the buddy program to meet new people and hopefully make some friends, along with getting a long-overdue break from all of their courses. And also because his two younger siblings guilt-tripped them into going to France.
Once he felt calmed down, Alex got out of the car and took his worn-down duffle bag out of the trunk. Alex looked around and saw three people standing around. Assuming that these were the other people in their group, Alex walked over and waved at the others, a small nervous smile appearing on their face.
"H-hi," they said, inwardly cursing at how they stuttered. "You guys are doing the buddy program too, right?"

"yeah," Elora said, heaving herself off her car and standing up. Slouching a bit due to her insecurities about her height. "She checked her phone, clicking on the email someone had sent her of the names of the people who she had gotten assigned a group with a turned her phone to the smaller, blonde energetic boy.

"Are you any of these people?" She asked, holding the phone out to him nervously.

"I'm pulling into the parking lot now, Dad, of course I have my keys," Rosemary spoke into the phone she had balanced between her shoulder and ear as she pulled into a parking spot. "Yes, Dad. I have everything packed. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I love yo- yes, I will be safe. Love you, Dad. Yeah, I have to go now. Bye- yes, I love you, bye." Rosemary ended the call with a sigh and turned off the car. France. She was going to be in France of all places this summer, with a group of strangers. It would be -it had to be- a good experience for her. Meeting people would be fun, and it didn't matter the location. She could go out an explore, and try new foods, and it would be a blast.

Rosemary slipped out of her car and grabbed her suitcase. Its wheels had long been broken, her father had gotten it at a consignment shop, so she had to lift the thing to carry it over to the small group of people gathered nearby. Catching the words 'buddy program' from the group's conversation gave her enough confidence to walk up and plop her suitcase down beside them. "Hi. I'm Rosemary Skitter-Dubois, here for the buddy program," She introduced herself softly, eyes quickly dancing over the group.
