Keira certainly wasn't in the mood to deal with being the new girl but alas, she had no choice in the matter. By the looks the term had already started and that fact alone confused her to the point of shaking her head as she walked into the building. She'd been in America two days, well one if anyone would rather she be awkward about it. Hitching her guitar case up her shoulder, tightening her grip on the bag in her right hand and swallowing the dry lump of anxiety in her throat she approached what she believed to be the main desk. Still with a stumble, and waver to her step she looked out of place and frankly, that bothered her. For a girl that was so used to blending in this was a peculiar feeling for her and she hated experiencing it. Though her attire didn't exactly help her situation the epitome of boho chic one could either take it as her being too lazy or take it as a smart fashion move. The dress, beads and tie holding her hair back all mixing to create a neutral ensemble and her boots pretty much being comfortable ugg boots in a dark shade of brown; high class to say the least if you were to see the price tags they used to don.
Setting the case on the ground, and her bag that was still half open from her rummaging around it to find her phone, she smiled politely, looking every inch like her late mother "hello" her British, clipped accent was as bold as brass when she spoke and there was no possible way of hiding it. Clearly, the accent proved to be a problem especially when it came to the difference in words. Keira bit her lip "I'm late starting, my father was too persistent when it came to sending me here, heaven knows why" she paused, looking a little sheepish and wishing she didn't have to deal with all of this. Back home, you go to the desk, give your name, they hand a form over, you leave; this was turning into a full blown conversation with her using less than profound words under her breath. She shook her head, long, wavy hair swaying gracefully "bleedin' heck" the girl mumbled. Roll on when someone actually took pity on her and helped her out because to be perfectly honest, if not vulgar, this was like pissing in the wind; completely, and utterly pointless.

Selena-Rose was most definitely late. Not a good start to her day. Descending the main stair heading towards the Administration office, wearing a simple satin turquoise tunic with a pair of black leggings. Her black boots clicked quietly as she entered the office, her blue eyes scanned around the room. At the main desk stood a girl Lena didn't recognized and cringed slightly. "Kiera?" She asked as she walked up to the girl before glancing around. "I hope you're Kiera because its so embarrassing to walk up to a random person and not get their name right." She babbled, laughing awkwardly as she set her Prada messenger bag on the floor. [/blockquote]

Keira looked over and lifted a delicate brow up, head tilting off to the side non verbally questioning who the blonde was “yes?” Again, the clipped British accent came out. The recent news of her release from the loony bin wasn’t common knowledge or at least it wasn’t here so she found no reason to worry “and you are?” Naturally, she had impeccable manners and with a soft tone to her voice nobody could assume she was being rude or acting inferior. Now if her father said the same thing you couldn’t help but be offended by it. Turning away fully from the front desk she waited patiently.

Selena-rose let out a sigh of relief as she extended her hand politely, "Nice to meet you, I'm Selena-Rose Matthews, but people just call me Lena. Anyway, I'm suppose to show you around, where your dorm is and where your classes will be. Stuff like that." She explained softly, hoping she didn't seem too excited. It was nice to have someone else who was just as new as her. The person who showed her around was... horrible. The last thing Lena wanted was to make a bad first impression. [/blockquote]

Taking her hand, Keira gave it a gentle shake “pleasure, Keira, but you already know that” she grinned before nodding. Letting out a sigh of relief she flicked her hair back elegantly “thank you, I assumed I’d have to walk around aimlessly for hours trying to find places but obviously I don’t” she laughed a little, if not nervously before picking up the guitar case, and over packed bag on the floor “you’d think I’d be used to this by now” she paused, rolling her shoulder so the strap fell flat against her capped arm “too many schools; bloody nightmare if you ask me” normally, she wouldn’t have been so chatty but the drive was dull as was her first night here so friendly conversing was a blessing in her eyes.

Selena-Rose gave a small laugh and nodded slowly. Picking up her bag and placed it on her shoulder. "Honestly, that sucks but you're here now and I'm determined to be the best tour guide and show you all the fun places that the... administration would never show you." She remarked as she brushed her blond hair out of her eyes, laughing a little harder. "Come on, let's head off to the dorm and drop off your stuff and go have some fun." [/blockquote]

Ah, shame the brain box that she was kicked in "shouldn't I" she paused, not entirely sure how things worked here "check in with my classes?" She looked confused, standing there with that look on her face. Shaking it off, she tried to push it away from her mind especially the need to slope off like she usually did. Keira didn't drink, didn't smoke, barely had any idea of what constituted as fun and was unfortunately new. So much for making a great impression she looked like your average geek with a passion for isolation and work clearly not like the blonde before her. Ironically, she didn't get this flaw off her mother nor her father. While the former spent most of the time socializing with leggy, stunning fresh off the catwalk women and the latter hobnobbing it with the rest of his species.

Selena-Rose's eyes went wide, "Oh oops. I thought you already did that. Sorry. We can do that first, ice cream can wait." She said laughing even more. She moved her messenger bag to her other shoulder and readjusted her headband still not believing that she could have skipped over that small detail of classes. "Which classes are you taking?" She asked with a raised brow, slightly hoping they shared some classes together. It would be easier for both of them, Lena was in fact new herself. [/blockquote]

Keira laughed sheepishly "yeah," the tone itself proving she was in fact embarrassed "singing, dance and acting; I was originally going for music" she smiled "but my father kinda flipped a lid and went barmy about it" actually, her father flipped a lid about most things lately. She shrugged "total git if you ask me but there you go" she smiled weakly "but it doesn't matter, food sounds pretty good even if it's ice cream"

Selena nodded slowly, "I know its not much I really do understand. I rarely see my parents and they dump me here so they don't have to deal with me. The only reason why I like it is because of classes... room for creativity." She explained trying to make Kiera feel better. "Ice cream does sound good." She smiled as her blond hair fell in front her eyes. "Makes things better." [/blockquote]

"Yeah," she trailed off "I think he thinks that if he shoves me away he'll forget about me and forget about my mother; doesn't work, never will not when the golden child is 'deranged, and completely off her box'" she laughed a little, shaking that off too "they don't understand, any of them" brushing it off with a short, sweet smile she creased her face up, thinking on it. Keira then looked back at her "c'mon, I don't think the bat in there likes it too much that we're hanging around plus, totty spotting time is shortening and thats never fun" offering an arm, she gave her another grateful, friendly look "so, what classes do you take? Anyone I should avoid?" The proposition of linked arm walking and talking was there, Keira didn't know if Lena would take it.

Selena smiled and linked her arm with Kiera, leading her out of the office. "Well I'll be taking advance choir, some instrumental classes just to get better with my guitar." She explained as she looked around the hall. Turning her attention back to Kiera. "People to avoid, really depends on the personalities you don't like dealing with. There's Alex Larkin and Catherine Perry who are major pain in the @sses." She explained with a shake of head. [/blockquote]

Keira smiled "you can take extra stuff here?" All she cared about was finding a piano, and perhaps somewhere very quiet to play; nothing more, nothing less. She wasn't the type to ask for the world and then some so it was pretty simple to understand. She snickered quietly, "nice to see things don't change across the pond. I'll take a guess; the ones a git and the other's looser than your granny's pair of knickers? Every school has them; cliche, right?" At least she wasn't feeling like a huge new girl now but then again the minute she clocked someone's else on her her shoulders dropped and she diverted her eyes away.

Selena nodded slowly, "Yeah you can. This school is pretty cool like that." She explained as she turned down another hallway, smiling at Kiera. "Yeah but I don't know whose worst, Catherine has left me alone while as Jackie McCormick loves to talk crap about me. Its even worst that she's dating one of my childhood friends." She muttered softly. Selena raised a brow at Kiera, "Are you okay?" She asked. [/blockquote]

Keira nodded, eyes still diverted "might have to look into that" she smiled a little, tightening her grip on her bag. She looked over with a small frown "you know half of the time people chat crap because they're jealous? And or have nothing better to do with their lives other than run their mouth. It's sad really, belittling people for ones own amusement. You'd think she'd have grown out of it; most people do after junior school" she pointed out before nodding "yeah, I'm fine just don't like being new, and the target of questions."
