Jaqueline openned the door to her new room and stopped abruptly. Two of the beds were taken. She had not one, but two roommates. She shivered, her stomach clenching with anxiety, but she pushed it aside and set her suitcase down on the empty bed, determined to unpack before bed.

Steffy pushed open the doors, lost in the music from her Ipod. She stopped as she saw someone already in the room. She unplugged her earphones and placed her bags on one of the three beds before going over to talk to the other girl.
"Hi, I'm Steffy, or you can call me Lauren" she said, giving her a smile.

Jaqueline flinched as the door opened. She flashed a quick, nervous smile at the girl, very carefully keeping her eyes on the floor, and pointed to her bag, which had "Jaqueline" embroidered on it.

'Ohkay' she thought as she tried to think of something to say."Cool, I like your name but can i call you Jackie?" I bit my lip nervously, hoping she didn't think that i was mean or something.

Jaqueline nodded, her eyes still on the floor. Her hands were shaking rather badly, from nervousness.
((Ugh, I suck with the short posts. *sigh*))

Seeing that there was nothing she could do, she went back to her bed to start unpacking.
((LOL it's okay but tell me if i'm being mean or anything ))

((No! Not at all! She just need someone to ask her enough questions, eventually she'll say something. xD))
Jaqueline felt like she was being rude and opened her mouth to apologize to Steffy, but she couldn't force the sound to come out. She was entirely too scared. She was ashamed of this, of her silly fears, but she didn't know how to overcome them...

((Okay))
Steffy abruptly looked up. She knew exactly how it felt to be scared and insercure of everything, the feeling was horrible. She chewed on her lip and began thinking of how to make her room mate feel more comfortable here.
"Are you a dancer?"She asked, taking note of her posture.

Jaqueline blushed, her dreams of grace and beauty flooding her mind. She shook her head, an expression of longing on her face.

"Are you sure? I could teach you if you like, I do modern and hip-hop ..." her voice trailed off, she began wondering how Jackie would react to this.

Jackie sucked in a breath, hope flaring in her chest for one split second. She had always been interested mostly in ballet, but most dancers started in ballet...her stunning, violet eyes lifted to meet Steffy's, full of combined hope and fear. Then she remembered how most people reacted to those eyes, her curse, and she quickly lowered them, turning away in shame. ((The color of her eyes is roughly www.testriffic.com/resultfiles/10809ist2_807290_abstract_purple_eye.jpg that color, in case you didn't see it in her profile.)) |

Steffy smiled when she saw Jackie look up. When she looked up, Steffy saw the insecurity in her eyes but behind that was hope. Her smile broadened and faded almost instantly when she saw Jackie look down again. Then she realised, she was afraid of people looking at her eyes. They were so beautiful so unique perhaps she needed someone to tell her that before she realised it.
"You have really pretty eyes" she blurted out without thinking.

Jackie paused, froze completely. Even the tears that had been building in anticipation of Steffy's reaction paused. Ever so slowly she turned back to Steffy, shame and disbelief etched on her face.

'God what did i just do?' Steffy thought to herself as she read the expression on Jackie's face.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." she stopped feeling so guilty.

Jackie's eyes widened a little. Steffy was apologizing? For what?! Jackie shook her head vigorously, trying to reassure Steffy that she hadn't done anything wrong.
