The three boys sighed in relief and start to file from the room. No one else moved while they exited the room.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdKIIJOCkJ

"Where's Robin?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Me7VMiwTC
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBenFqTenKG
"He had to leave for that business dinner." Alexander spoke watching her, his eyes narrowed.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7JijUz9pH
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkcEpTxjYd
"Eliza Benedetti." Leonardo hummed, "She's actually Italian, right?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteFqJ477GI
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPCZuirqmR
"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. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDsBMI59xp
"Hey. Yes please, do you know where Room 124 is and where Business Corporations and Trade is?" Eliza asked.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHva8yBOQFv
"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."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszx0cQHxND
"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?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcTi1XsE50
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8Zhgh95gQ
"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."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIiLm1ZYwu
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYavXW3dvNQ
"Seriously?" Eliza's eyebrows scrunched up. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pUbM9aPVn
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ms0QFregZ
"Yeah." Lily said laughing at her reaction.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zgwvbYOB6
"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.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehhGWBrdmB
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkJJlDdIZU
"Okay. Good, we can gossip when I get back." Eliza mumbled, mentally penciling in the personal time into her schedule.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPpQDh5rwA
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiCm9OEJ51
"Some business thing?" Lily asked, standing in her doorway and already knowing the answer. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc1JOf4AdP
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozvCnB7fhw
"Yeah, a dinner with the Claire's."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GLPUW0uLe
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MUUYF8EYw
"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."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHtYuj2Cnt
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2rop2ddht
"Who were the other two?" Eliza questioned.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R6MRuBdUG
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y6tilSXlZ
"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—"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7K0fLpeCB
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UDQxfmNBN
"Yeah, I know Xander, that kid doesn't ever smile." Eliza said, "Is Robin like him, forever frowning?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypbTp5ra1i
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfWwzu5Wem
"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.
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFqb5TrauO
"Alex!" Eliza called out as he got within yards of them. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIQVuPDCoI
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAzzXQ3jAw
"Eliza." he rolled his eyes as he mocked, feigning his emotions.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzZx82vlF2
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.)"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZfRHkjuTE
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. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBXSTMLIzu
"Okay. What is happening here?" She said sighing and cocking her hip out.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2aUgehW4D
"None of your business, Benedetti." Alexander scoffed, keeping his back to her.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7X9PjRpgE
"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. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1xhORi1Ly
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. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXaI8jwpVa
Eliza's mouth dropped open, "Holy shit. . ." 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiFPAtsf4z
"What?" Emily questioned slipping past Asher, who followed her with his head down and his hands in his pockets.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0s8K47HNE
"I have a balcony!"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1OrJ79sKn
Eliza was standing on the balcony, leaning over the railing, staring at the sun that was just starting to set. 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWGHANy1B5
"Most rooms in the east and west wings have them." Lily nodded.
"Get ready." Xander stared down at her and shook his head.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3dtl4DEmH
Eliza rolled her eyes and walked into her closet.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23BWNesQaW
"Good luck." 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBaFPaIFlM
"Thanks, I'll probably need it." He replied back and sat down on her bed.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1VBfkUORK
The door closed lightly behind Lily, leaving the two of them together. Eliza stayed in her closet as she stripped from her uniform.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhj2mqYWWO
"Blue or black?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr6nZSE56U
"Blue."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEXWM8ki5v
Eliza came out carrying a pair of dark, navy blue heels in her hand and clothed in a matching dress.
"Are you almost ready?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lJsPHaLLI
"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."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAxrVmOzzq
Eliza disappeared into the bathroom listening for a response. The bed shifted and she poked her head back outside.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1KWbH86mp
"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."
