New gal on campus. (265 views)

Clothed in his letterman jacket and jeans, Seamus was walking along the sidewalk of the High School ground with his backpack slung over his shoulder. He was exhausted, sweaty, and pretty sure he smelt bad. The coach had kept them extra-long this afternoon, and it really tuckered him out.

Seamus rounded a corner and saw an unfamiliar face, tilting his head to the side as she shifted through her stuff. She looked tired, and lost, so Seamus came to astop behind her.

”Scuse me, you okay?” He asked.

"Oh. Yeah, i'm fine, just tired. I'm on the football team and coach kept me for way too long," Seamus said, laughing slightly. It was hard to decipher the accent she spoke in at first, but he heard 'administrative building' and went off that. "Yeah, sure, I know where it is. I'm on my way that way now actually, want to walk with me there?"

”Oh, no, I just got out of practice. I’m on the high school football team and the coach really goes hard. I'm Seamus. Seamus MacAlister, nice to meet you.” He said, leading the way towards the administration building. ”When did you get to Metric? How long have you been here, I mean.”

”Only a few days, huh? Moving here halfway through the semester must be really hard.” He said. He wondered what she was here for, then. For Metric to accept a transfer student, she had to be talented. Otherwise they would have made her wait a year. Or at least a full semester. He put his hands into the pocket of his jacket and gave her a friendly smile. ”oh, I’m here for film? What about you? You gotta be good if they let you in so late, right?”

”So you went to a school for ballet before, huh? That’s pretty cool,” Seamus smiled back, especially when she said she was a star. ”That’s pretty impressive. And Metric’s a really great Academy, in my opinion. I’m working on a video project time-lapse, actually... maybe if you’re free, your dancing could be the subject? I’ve been kind of looking for a subject, I mean.”

"Oh, really? How long have you been doing ballet for? If you don't mind me asking," Seamus asked Luna, coming to a stop in front of the administration building. "Here we are. Which office inside did you need? It's kind of a maze in there."

"Impressive." Seamus said. When Luna said housing and admissions, Seamus led the way inside of the building and pointed to a sign. "Here.. housing and admissions are around the corner. Do you want me to go with you? I mean... I have nothing to do, so..."

"Sure, if you have time, I mean. I didn't have any other activities to do besides meet with my coach." Seamus said. A woman came over from the other side of the counter and looked at Luna, while Seamus awkwardly looked around the room.

"Hello, welcome to admissions. How may I help you?" the woman asked.

"Ah, yes. One second." The woman said, turning to check her computer for the paperwork to verify if it was submitted. She asked for Luna's student ID number, before she went back to being focused on her work.

Seamus, not wanting to intrude, stayed a few feet back looking at the ceiling. "So... do you have a house yet?" He asked.

"Student life? It's pretty fun. I guess. It depends on your friends. But Metric's huge, and the dancing population is huge too, so you'll fit in easily I think." As her next question Seamus waited for the woman to finish filling paperwork. "Uhm... well, I guess that depends on what friends you make. I don't really like Cliff. Cliff Arkwright. He's a jerk. But I mean, if you're a dancer you probably won't run into him."

"Well... you asked me." Seamus said, shrugging his shoulders dismissively. If she heard some of the things Cliff said about Shyanne, maybe Luna would agree with him. "My friends? Well, i'm on the team so them. Benji, Brad, those guys i'm probably closest to, I think. And Shyanne Volle, and my girlfriend Issy. Well, Shyanne's my girlfriend's best friend so I'm more acquainted with her by association and kind of protect her when people trash-talk her. I mean, we don't have much in common... uhm... have you looked into dance classes here? Any friends there yet?"
