Torri stood with her head bowed as she looked around the courtyard. This was to be her new home. Folding her arms over her chest gently she heaved a small sigh and rubbed her shoulder gently, feeling the slight cold air nip at her skin. Holding it in it's icy grip.
Reaching up she pushed a section of her hair from her face, it seemed her white highlighted hair always moved in front of her face. It wasn't too bad when she wanted to hide, but it became rather an annoying trait when she was alone.
She sighed again and walked over to a nearby wall and leaning against it with her back. Torri rocked a little on her back and whistled quietly, letting the soft melody of a scottish tune fill the air around her.

Heather walked from her dorm room into the courtyard, ready to explore her new home. A she walked over, she saw a dark haired girl with a white streak in the front. It was a cool hair style, Heather thought.
The girl must have not been older than her age and she was whistling a cheerful tune. It wouldn't hurt to have a new friend, she thought.
"Hello," she said as she approached the girl.

Torri whipped her head up at a new voice, immediatly her whistling stopped. The grip on her amrs tightening as she looked away from the girl, turning her back to her and muttering. "Oh god, not already."
She hadn't expected to be met by someone so quickly, and frankly, she wasnt prepared to try and 'fit in' just yet. So muttering a response she hunched her shoulder up to try and block the girl from view without turning to face the wall.

Heather felt hurt that the girl wasn't very friendly. "Ok then," she said in an akward tone. "Sorry I bothered you." She turned and walked to a nearby bench and began to read her book. She wasn't going to let this girl ruin her time, although it would have been nice to make a new friend.
Focusing her concentration back to her book, Heather stroke her long red hair out of her eyes and lost herself in the literature before her.

Torri turned as the girl walked from her. 'good, at least it wont be as hard to not talk as back home....' Quietly she slipped from the wall and walked around the courtyard, similar to a trapped animal in a cage, pacing around thinking. Not wanting to do much else, and anyway, the girl was too engrossed in a book to care.
Flicking her hair lightly she shivered at the wind, letting it fill her lungs with cold air. "God it's bloody cold!" she yelled slightly, a rather uncharacteristic thing for torri to do, but she felt the wind pick up and being only in a short sleeve top it made it hard for her to keep warm.

Heather woke up from her fascination of her book. She looked up when she heard the girl, that blew her off, scream something. Heather looked to the wall she was leaning on before, however was no longer in her place.
Placing the bookmark on the page she was reading, Heather went out to search for the rude girl. Walking around the courtyard, Heather finally saw her, shivering in a short sleeved shirt. Feeling a little cold herself, Heather walked up to her and decided to try again. "Cold isn't it?" The small talk she created, made Heather want to kick herself. It was as if she were a little boy having a talk with his first crush. "Look, that was kind of stupid, what I just said I mean." Her embarassment barely eased. "I'm Heather by the way," she winced a bit, hoping the girl would be a bit nicer this time.

Torri looked up again and cringed, she had attracted attention again. Heaving a small sigh she continued to rub her arms violently and unsuccessfully in creating heat. "Oh, im sorry, you were reading." she mumbled with a small blush. She looked back down and sighed again a little.
Giving the smallest of shy smiles Torri nodded, "It's alright, everyone speaks silly once in a while." she said in her broad scottish accent. "And um....Torri" she added, still looking at the ground.

She smiled happy that the girl was finally nice to her. "Hi Torri. So what are you in for?" She smirked at her joke but quickly dismissed it thinking Torri wouldn't find it funny.

Walkin gout to the courtyard as he knew some had arrived he stood in the door way. He was a huge muscled man with dark hair. His eyes were piercing as he looked around and spotted the two girls. "Welcome little ones. I am Colossus. And Welcome to the Academy. Please dont be shy. Tell me your names."

Looking to the young lady he smiled wide. His voice deep and bellowing, but full of life and a russian accent. "Da, yes from the Garden. Good to see you once more. How is everythign for you?"

Heather remembered him, but didn't want to hurt his feelings if he forgot her. Turns out the choice backfired. "Yes, good to see you. Things are fine....adjusting to new things." She looked to Torri.

Torri shrunk back at the sight of the man, trying to hide within her own skin she stepped away from them slowly. Heather was one thing, but this man was rather intimidating. Raising a hand to her hair gently she pushed the white section back infront of her eyes, taking hold of her arm while she did so.
It seemed the two knew each other already so she hoped to move unseen but knowing she wasn't able to, she just looked to the ground and kept quiet in her awkward silence.

Noticing Torri's nervousness, Heather looked to Colossus. "Well we better be going, I was going to give Torri a sweater, could you beleive she forgot hers?" She grabbed Torri's wrist while waving good bye to the large man. He didn't bother her, however for some reason, Torri was quite uncomfortable.

He cleared his throat and chuckled deeply looking ot the fleeing girl. Calling over to Torri. "Well hey there now. You never introduced yourself. How do you expect to get to know the other students and the teachers if you dont say hello."
