Calypso took in the gorgeous view, sitting on her bed with her elbows propped up against the windowsill. The turquoise waves dipped and rolled, crashing up against the golden sand and rocky outcrop as gulls circled above in the bright sky. She took a deep breath of the salty breeze, saying to Lina. “It reminds me of Australia… At least a now it seems like I’m a bit closer to home.”
"Wow you lived in Australia? how cool!, this is the first time I live close to the beach" Lina said still looking at her picture and then turned to Calypso "How did you ended up here?"
Calypso smiled wistfully at the mention of Australia. “I got a scholarship, and my parents didn’t have the money to send me to a university closer by, so…” She shrugged. “Do you know how to surf?”
Lina widened her eyes "Um no, and Im not really interested, I want my body to be in one piece thank you very much" she said jokingly
Calypso laughed, mismatched eyes sparkling. “It’s not that bad!”, she giggled, unzipping her suitcase.
"yeah yeah say that again to me when you have one of your legs bitten off" Lina said feeling now comfortable in Calypso's presence
Dylan tapped the side of his bed, unsure what to do. He didn't have a roommate yet, which was kind of cool. He stood up and took one of the boxes from his closet and brought it to the kitchen, unpacking the few kitchen things he had.
"So umm i guess there will be a party, reunion or something for the 1st day of school right?" Lina asked unsure
“An as assembly, I think, in…” she checked her watch. “20 minutes.”
Lina's eyes widened "OMG I HAVE TO GET READYY!!" she ran to her room and closed the door, she went straight to her suitcase and started trowing everything she found out of it "this one?…mmm no (trows it) This one…..nah (trows it) This one, no no to fancy (trows it) Too wrinkly (trows it) Mmmm perfect!" She exclaimed as she found a pastel pink sweater, she then looked for her favorite skinny jeans, some flats, and a beanie. She ran towards the bathroom and started to get ready

Dylan checked his watch. Ah…the assembly starts soon. He didn't bother changing. He grabbed his roller blades and put them on as he left his dorm, locking the door behind him.
Calypso smiled, quickly adding a flowy floral-patterned scarf to her outfit and laying her guitar, her clarinet, her viola, and her collapsible keyboard next to her desk.
Quinn walked around her room, taking out what little she had brought from her home in San Diego. Propped against the wall was her surfboard which she had to take with her. Rocket ship models were sitting on her bookcase and posters of California and space related things were on her walls. So far, Quinn didn't have a room mate.
( Thanks :D )
Lina rushed to the living room "Where are going to be late come on let's go!!" she said forgetting her phone in her room
Quinn checked her watch. {Shoot, it's almost the assembly.} She thought to herself. She grabbed a light blue hoodie with 'San Diego Surf' on it and slipped into some flip flops. She didn't bother fixing her curly blond hair. In about five minutes, she was out the door and walking towards campus.
Calypso called her back. “This your phone?”
"Oh thanks!" Lina said a bit flustered, "umm I think we really need to get going hehe"
Dylan smoothly skated down the sidewalk. He reached the assembly a few minutes early. He took a seat up front, his skates still on.
( should Quinn know someone, like Calypso or someone? Or she'll just be that new Cali kid :P )
Quinn walked towards the front seats, sitting down by a boy with ripped jeans and black clothing. She looked down at his skates and grinned. {Damn, I need some of those}
(It would be nice if we all got to meet in the assembly)
