The three boys sighed in relief and start to file from the room. No one else moved while they exited the room.608Please respect copyright.PENANAUOPYytpW97

"Where's Robin?"608Please respect copyright.PENANAYhRgArxe5y
608Please respect copyright.PENANAkfEFXWEBEw
"He had to leave for that business dinner." Alexander spoke watching her, his eyes narrowed.608Please respect copyright.PENANAQjAfggTyRL
608Please respect copyright.PENANAeTTzPmy8oL
"Eliza Benedetti." Leonardo hummed, "She's actually Italian, right?"608Please respect copyright.PENANAXyNr4HvWLY
608Please respect copyright.PENANA44ehtaHaMF
"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. 608Please respect copyright.PENANATrljQC3DQZ
"Hey. Yes please, do you know where Room 124 is and where Business Corporations and Trade is?" Eliza asked.608Please respect copyright.PENANAhgJbXyA9hn
"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."608Please respect copyright.PENANAykcCTZfPEv
"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?"608Please respect copyright.PENANAKeeq8ZlPur
608Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Jxjdl0kE
"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."608Please respect copyright.PENANAjjZax61mba
608Please respect copyright.PENANAm7kx55vPGA
"Seriously?" Eliza's eyebrows scrunched up. 608Please respect copyright.PENANADgbGuJbart
608Please respect copyright.PENANAJPAZOm1ZoP
"Yeah." Lily said laughing at her reaction.608Please respect copyright.PENANAu3nvqdRGKL
"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.608Please respect copyright.PENANAsSCqlW3Zte
608Please respect copyright.PENANAR0gaxCZoJN
"Okay. Good, we can gossip when I get back." Eliza mumbled, mentally penciling in the personal time into her schedule.608Please respect copyright.PENANAjMw46emYC1
608Please respect copyright.PENANAjLC53OCh5Y
"Some business thing?" Lily asked, standing in her doorway and already knowing the answer. 608Please respect copyright.PENANAwpAr9KPB2o
608Please respect copyright.PENANAmx56RsdBQh
"Yeah, a dinner with the Claire's."608Please respect copyright.PENANAcO63rx4j5Y
608Please respect copyright.PENANAwW8KB7SGtw
"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."608Please respect copyright.PENANAF02xPZrOV5
608Please respect copyright.PENANA4o35w7XIdR
"Who were the other two?" Eliza questioned.608Please respect copyright.PENANAmsh3FYYgTX
608Please respect copyright.PENANAPcNwknoCqx
"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—"608Please respect copyright.PENANAXvPk6i8e2k
608Please respect copyright.PENANAWUUllMS2dg
"Yeah, I know Xander, that kid doesn't ever smile." Eliza said, "Is Robin like him, forever frowning?"608Please respect copyright.PENANAFL9ikswf8a
608Please respect copyright.PENANAnYKo7C0ueO
"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.
608Please respect copyright.PENANALirZyLHmWc
"Alex!" Eliza called out as he got within yards of them. 608Please respect copyright.PENANAZdDASbKHZw
608Please respect copyright.PENANAkL6fJtAg2Q
"Eliza." he rolled his eyes as he mocked, feigning his emotions.608Please respect copyright.PENANAzcVKd9DBtM
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.)"608Please respect copyright.PENANArQEWKdKsP8
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. 608Please respect copyright.PENANApm4sMphRHr
"Okay. What is happening here?" She said sighing and cocking her hip out.608Please respect copyright.PENANABr7J5bTlz4
"None of your business, Benedetti." Alexander scoffed, keeping his back to her.608Please respect copyright.PENANALJNXygtguH
"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. 608Please respect copyright.PENANAyeGhcln55k
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. 608Please respect copyright.PENANAS2PnPoAOTu
Eliza's mouth dropped open, "Holy shit. . ." 608Please respect copyright.PENANACy0AiRVkYc
"What?" Emily questioned slipping past Asher, who followed her with his head down and his hands in his pockets.608Please respect copyright.PENANA0C5dF20WRQ
"I have a balcony!"608Please respect copyright.PENANAeC8lvf5YjT
Eliza was standing on the balcony, leaning over the railing, staring at the sun that was just starting to set. 608Please respect copyright.PENANARZwXiKe8ao
"Most rooms in the east and west wings have them." Lily nodded.
"Get ready." Xander stared down at her and shook his head.608Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ1lINeMhl
Eliza rolled her eyes and walked into her closet.608Please respect copyright.PENANAQQmkXLt6gQ
"Good luck." 608Please respect copyright.PENANAqCjyVip8kN
"Thanks, I'll probably need it." He replied back and sat down on her bed.608Please respect copyright.PENANAC4FXI5CW03
The door closed lightly behind Lily, leaving the two of them together. Eliza stayed in her closet as she stripped from her uniform.608Please respect copyright.PENANAWAdsq2PvVR
"Blue or black?"608Please respect copyright.PENANAcHUFZNYqPe
"Blue."608Please respect copyright.PENANAb11Vj9y9Lz
Eliza came out carrying a pair of dark, navy blue heels in her hand and clothed in a matching dress.
"Are you almost ready?"608Please respect copyright.PENANAsI1m17BB9x
"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."608Please respect copyright.PENANAivM8PYKl1e
Eliza disappeared into the bathroom listening for a response. The bed shifted and she poked her head back outside.608Please respect copyright.PENANAvaAseyYvNn
"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."
