Briar led Shafia into the Dining Hall. "They generally have really good food here. I get somethi-" her sentenced turned into a quick cry as she suddenly fell, crashing into a table and onto the floor.

Briar gave a little shiver and nodded, her head throbbing. "Umm, sorry...bit of a clutz..." she mumbled, embarrassed.

A yawn escaped Della's soft lips as she waltzed into the school, her blue eyes scanning everything with interest as she took in the sights in front of her. Her brother was coming later on with all of her luggage, so she would just have to find some way to kill time until he got there. For a moment, she wasn't sure what she would do, but her grumbling stomach seemed to answer the question she was about to ask herself. "To the dining hall!" She exclaimed triumphantly, a giggle escaping her lips as she trotted down to the dining hall and pushed open the doors. Looking around, she didn't really see anyone she knew, but that had never stopped Della before. A grin on her face, she grabbed a container of fruits and made her way over to a few other girls who had just walked in, one of them making quite an entrance by falling. "Hi!" She chirped happily, sticking out a hand to greet them all. "My name is Della, and y'all are..?" Her southern accent was a bit noticeable, and she inwardly prayed that something like that wouldn't cause them to not want to be her friend.

"It's fine. i just hope your okay." Shafia said with a little chuckle. "i think you should walk on my other side away from the tables." Shafia said with a smile hoping that Briar wast mad about the chuckle.

"Umm, hey," Briar said, wincing as her head protested the movement. Focusing really hard, she said "I'm Briar," and was proud when the words came out relatively clear. She tensed the muscles in her arm, keeping her hand from shaking too noticably as she shook Della's hand. Inwardly, she heaved a sigh of relief that nobody seemed to be questioning her "clutziness."

Shafia looked up at the girl. At first she wasnt sure if she was talking to them or not until she stuck her hand out. "Hi, im shafia." shafia said with a sweet smile.

"D'ya want some help up?" Della asked the girl who had fallen after shaking both of the girls' hands. "It seems like you took a nasty fall. Those tables are killer sometimes." She laughed, rolling her eyes. "I've tripped over them a few times too, don't you worry, darlin'. Oh and it's a pleasure to meet ya both. Pardon my almost rudeness." She giggled softly, a grin on her face again as she held out a hand again to help Briar up.

Briar, who hated accepting help, was forced to grab the girl's hand as the room spun. "Thanks," she mumbled, straightening up.

"You're welcome, love!" Della exclaimed happily, letting go of the girl's hand once she saw that Briar was on her feet. "If you feel lightheaded, just sit down. It's better to do that than fall again, believe me." She advised, a grin on her face as she skipped over to a nearby empty table and sat down, opening her container of fruit and spearing a strawberry with her fork. "Yum!" She giggled happily, popping the juicy red piece of fruit into her mouth.

" So do they have anything good to eat in there." Shafia said to change the topic and try to move on from the little incident that happened.

Briar watched the strange girl with amusement. She seemed worried about absolutely nothing. But that was good, such people were rarely suspicious of what they were told, which meant she was safe for the timebeing. There was, however, the problem of the 2 roommates..."So, umm, what room are you in?" Briar asked Della, trying to be polite.

"Thats a great question, Bry! Do you mind Bry, is that an okay nickname? Can I call you that? If not, it's okay, just tell me what you'd like me to call you.." Della rambled a bit, losing track of where she was going with her sentence. "Oh, right, I am in Room... 202, maybe? I think. Possibly.." She mumbled, pulling her dorm information out of her pocket and uncrumpling it to scan the page. "Yep! Room 202! Which room are y'all in?" She asked, a grin on her face as she stabbed a pineapple piece and ate it.

All of sudden Shafia felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.she took it out and looked at the caller i.d. "um...hey guys ill be back. i ..just...um...I'll be back." She said nervously and headed out form where she came from. The call was from her dad. she had always been away from him but would eventually be able to see him. Now it was different .Now she would only be able to see him from Christmas. Thinking about that after looking at the caller i.d had brought tears to her eyes which was the reason she went out of the dining hall to take the call.

"203," Briar replied. Her head was still killing her, so she gave up trying to follow Della's fast talking.
