The three boys sighed in relief and start to file from the room. No one else moved while they exited the room.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7La2BBa4e

"Where's Robin?"445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aSCWXmVOw
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF1X3QdQOZ
"He had to leave for that business dinner." Alexander spoke watching her, his eyes narrowed.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUil7jDdIPD
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSIsCRf5Zi
"Eliza Benedetti." Leonardo hummed, "She's actually Italian, right?"445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9oqESmXcZ
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCLMOG43C6
"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. 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnKsBjDyD1
"Hey. Yes please, do you know where Room 124 is and where Business Corporations and Trade is?" Eliza asked.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQjDKMD1dM
"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."445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqZhE6VABr
"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?"445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zAOIzch31
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpxji7foDH
"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."445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWiCIw3RSv
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdleG6FM4sL
"Seriously?" Eliza's eyebrows scrunched up. 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBPLZDmzZn
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyRJey9pDe
"Yeah." Lily said laughing at her reaction.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjQPsnLPtc
"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.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhXUJslUCS
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdrlydqjjc
"Okay. Good, we can gossip when I get back." Eliza mumbled, mentally penciling in the personal time into her schedule.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFVzdIoNY4
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zKNwVK3IC
"Some business thing?" Lily asked, standing in her doorway and already knowing the answer. 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qXAYfXQ8c
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK4A0Mt5ew
"Yeah, a dinner with the Claire's."445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX95jtOsLJ
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY9CfZc0gO
"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."445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCtK22bRdY
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD8uxWzw2n
"Who were the other two?" Eliza questioned.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxjGZF6273
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF18zq9RSpG
"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—"445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5lIre34dq
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrENRkI18q
"Yeah, I know Xander, that kid doesn't ever smile." Eliza said, "Is Robin like him, forever frowning?"445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDzxBFy18N
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjXWR9vEey
"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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUOQto4JSX
"Alex!" Eliza called out as he got within yards of them. 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKlq1H0En1
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqQWIRLqyZ
"Eliza." he rolled his eyes as he mocked, feigning his emotions.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHIAirHcZn
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.)"445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYBoToiLVI
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. 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeS20qn1su
"Okay. What is happening here?" She said sighing and cocking her hip out.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMuD0cRRn7
"None of your business, Benedetti." Alexander scoffed, keeping his back to her.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9t9j1f6HU
"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. 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFdb8eZXE5
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. 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTliFOiHrTQ
Eliza's mouth dropped open, "Holy shit. . ." 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlnRycm09Y
"What?" Emily questioned slipping past Asher, who followed her with his head down and his hands in his pockets.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeTLnxnDnD
"I have a balcony!"445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz6LsFgSBr
Eliza was standing on the balcony, leaning over the railing, staring at the sun that was just starting to set. 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrigpodGfO
"Most rooms in the east and west wings have them." Lily nodded.
"Get ready." Xander stared down at her and shook his head.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc28D59Y17
Eliza rolled her eyes and walked into her closet.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YyzSagdf4
"Good luck." 445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyMKVedKUE
"Thanks, I'll probably need it." He replied back and sat down on her bed.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ekD4S584
The door closed lightly behind Lily, leaving the two of them together. Eliza stayed in her closet as she stripped from her uniform.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6TvP8Dh8V
"Blue or black?"445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZXTnlT8W
"Blue."445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAwpVDE0cf
Eliza came out carrying a pair of dark, navy blue heels in her hand and clothed in a matching dress.
"Are you almost ready?"445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJM6vf8hsO
"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."445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSLqeSBkZQ
Eliza disappeared into the bathroom listening for a response. The bed shifted and she poked her head back outside.445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMcfq3M7vB
"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."
