The three boys sighed in relief and start to file from the room. No one else moved while they exited the room.498Please respect copyright.PENANA6woywMgyh5

"Where's Robin?"498Please respect copyright.PENANA6fQz5x6zIf
498Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y5n1DsXHP
"He had to leave for that business dinner." Alexander spoke watching her, his eyes narrowed.498Please respect copyright.PENANArzVbhsoHKF
498Please respect copyright.PENANAij4UqwA9WJ
"Eliza Benedetti." Leonardo hummed, "She's actually Italian, right?"498Please respect copyright.PENANAwscAnE0XnK
498Please respect copyright.PENANAKoUPj4AIbW
"Yeah, mother and father." Alex groaned, rolling his eyes.
There was a hint of a smile on his face as he listened to their conversation, although not joining in.
"Hi, I'm Lily. Need any help?" Lily questioned, tapping her shoulder, as she wondered down the hallway. 498Please respect copyright.PENANAAY0w8FMqD4
"Hey. Yes please, do you know where Room 124 is and where Business Corporations and Trade is?" Eliza asked.498Please respect copyright.PENANAUzDFSHVjze
"Yeah!" Emily said getting really excited, "Your room is across the hall from me and B.C.T. Is in Wing A, Hall D. Big double doors couldn't miss it."498Please respect copyright.PENANAlt1fFOnl2w
"Well this seems to be the beginning of a new friendship." Eliza laughed tossing her arm over Lily's shoulders, "So. What's it like here?"498Please respect copyright.PENANABGdsnHCUoK
498Please respect copyright.PENANAaOFDXjcc5V
"It's pretty good, actually. With the right privileges you could get away with murder and the Principal would cover it up for you." She said, "You re in. I've literally never seen her smile more than when she was introducing you."498Please respect copyright.PENANALSRZlknXcH
498Please respect copyright.PENANAdd2MG5ETP8
"Seriously?" Eliza's eyebrows scrunched up. 498Please respect copyright.PENANAlnm6aymac5
498Please respect copyright.PENANA4jjwLhRYwC
"Yeah." Lily said laughing at her reaction.498Please respect copyright.PENANAaOMdo8BtVZ
"Okay here's your stop and here's mine." Lily said.
"How long will you be awake?"
"Another five hours at least I've got homework to finish up." Emily answered.498Please respect copyright.PENANA6nsVabCRp0
498Please respect copyright.PENANAriCUwwZgNt
"Okay. Good, we can gossip when I get back." Eliza mumbled, mentally penciling in the personal time into her schedule.498Please respect copyright.PENANAjpMRx1s0IO
498Please respect copyright.PENANABTDHFGp24c
"Some business thing?" Lily asked, standing in her doorway and already knowing the answer. 498Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ5OgCpiM3
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhz1WEcYaUV
"Yeah, a dinner with the Claire's."498Please respect copyright.PENANAszIjE1pehM
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMGoNm569Sg
"That's Robin and his family." By the look on Eliza's face told her that she recognized the name, but had no clue who she was talking about and as if for further emphasis Eliza shook her head slowly, "Did you notice for boys in the front row. The one with the blonde hair is Robin."498Please respect copyright.PENANAXSro5XPIrg
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZxXNfpdkz
"Who were the other two?" Eliza questioned.498Please respect copyright.PENANA1H8q9wb0L2
498Please respect copyright.PENANA17f1bEnkuT
"Brown hair wasLeonardo Clauder he's a writer and musician, you'll probably meet him tomorrow, Marshal Bauer specializes in mathematics, science, and astronomy, and then Alexander Dane—"498Please respect copyright.PENANA0IT72FXlcw
498Please respect copyright.PENANAus000p6N4U
"Yeah, I know Xander, that kid doesn't ever smile." Eliza said, "Is Robin like him, forever frowning?"498Please respect copyright.PENANAKFeqAWe08t
498Please respect copyright.PENANAm0MXMQXAbQ
"Yes, he is." Lily said turning to go inside her room, though when Eliza went quiet she turned back around to look towards her.
Eliza was staring down the hallway at an approaching figure, Lily couldn't quite make out.
498Please respect copyright.PENANAXMOB6O1cQE
"Alex!" Eliza called out as he got within yards of them. 498Please respect copyright.PENANAVcjqiYXDvr
498Please respect copyright.PENANAR7s9Ew4x6y
"Eliza." he rolled his eyes as he mocked, feigning his emotions.498Please respect copyright.PENANAEfrpHEBtXA
Nonetheless when Eliza stretched up to hug him, Alex returned to the gesture and gave her a genuine smile.
"It's been a while, friend." Eliza smiled, "Dovremo fare qualcosa al più presto. E 'stato troppo a lungo. (We will have to do something soon. It has been too long.)"498Please respect copyright.PENANAFv1VsnGUxZ
He paused for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Okay. I'm free all next week, except for Monday and Thursday."
He turned to Lily and talked to her quietly, Eliza straining to hear, for about a second. 498Please respect copyright.PENANAkdqqmpDW3Y
"Okay. What is happening here?" She said sighing and cocking her hip out.498Please respect copyright.PENANAA7s8r3Yeks
"None of your business, Benedetti." Alexander scoffed, keeping his back to her.498Please respect copyright.PENANAEoGbrNyjGn
"Look at me?" She smirked.
"Don't you have a dinner to go to? Go get ready." Emily scolded, but smiling all the same.
"Alexander."
"I'll walk you to your car. Go. Get. Ready." He turned around and looked at her. 498Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1NOIuAvJf
A smile of victory spread across her face and she spun around on the heel of her foot stepping into her dorm room, "Its adorable, really," she called back. 498Please respect copyright.PENANAxCpo5k9zEA
Eliza's mouth dropped open, "Holy shit. . ." 498Please respect copyright.PENANAyIl093Va7x
"What?" Emily questioned slipping past Asher, who followed her with his head down and his hands in his pockets.498Please respect copyright.PENANA3sH7GKfOCp
"I have a balcony!"498Please respect copyright.PENANAjZf8CHFEoG
Eliza was standing on the balcony, leaning over the railing, staring at the sun that was just starting to set. 498Please respect copyright.PENANAUm0KHMhUxC
"Most rooms in the east and west wings have them." Lily nodded.
"Get ready." Xander stared down at her and shook his head.498Please respect copyright.PENANAdSzZsh8Vp1
Eliza rolled her eyes and walked into her closet.498Please respect copyright.PENANAOgQrMhaAZc
"Good luck." 498Please respect copyright.PENANAjZlQhyM8nV
"Thanks, I'll probably need it." He replied back and sat down on her bed.498Please respect copyright.PENANACwNj3MaWmD
The door closed lightly behind Lily, leaving the two of them together. Eliza stayed in her closet as she stripped from her uniform.498Please respect copyright.PENANAiiZAUiyjYy
"Blue or black?"498Please respect copyright.PENANA7BeqAA4hV5
"Blue."498Please respect copyright.PENANAkCCOAipLpe
Eliza came out carrying a pair of dark, navy blue heels in her hand and clothed in a matching dress.
"Are you almost ready?"498Please respect copyright.PENANAWP6PoHxOnv
"Almost. Jeez." Eliza said slipping her feet into the heels as she walked towards her bathroom, "Just gotta straighten my hair and do my make-up."498Please respect copyright.PENANAq304FPO3TS
Eliza disappeared into the bathroom listening for a response. The bed shifted and she poked her head back outside.498Please respect copyright.PENANAyleg6m0Bu1
"You're laying down? It's not going to take me that long."
"It will if you keep talking."
She muttered bad words in Italian under her breathe and stomped into the bathroom. She plugged the flat iron into the outlet and let it heat up unaware of the fact that she'd started singing to herself. Eliza made it halfway through the song before the iron was hot enough and quickly started to section and straighten her hair. Once done she moved onto her make-up. She'd done it earlier before her introduction and now she was simply applying touch ups to things like: her eyeliner, her mascara, her lip stain, and her foundation and highlight.
"What time do you have to be there?"
"Oh, I'm late. I was suppose to be there around 5:30," Eliza shrugged.
"It's 5:30 now." Emily gasped and pushed her out of her room, "You're impossible."
