The First Day Meeting [Nat and Caia]

Alright, so. Day one. No biggie. That's what Natalie kept telling herself to keep her nerves down. And it worked, sorta. It might have made her feel better to just find a charging station for her laptop and immerse herself in the ambiguous friendship of the internet, but that didn't seem likely. At least not until she got into her own dorm room. She was told she'd have a roommate that would be moving in today too, but she had no idea who she'd be looking for. There were tons of girls here. In fact, largest girl population she'd ever experienced in her life. Not that she really had a problem with it or anything. Boys could be so childish sometimes, no matter what age. Girls were...a little easier to talk to.

Dragging her small duffle bag up to the dorm room she was given a key for, she soon found her mind wondering what her new roomie would be like. Would she be nice? Were they both new? Would they get along? Was she older, younger? Where was she from? Lots of things she'd surely have to ask her when she met her, that was for sure. Dropping her bad down in front of the door as she shoveled her key out of the deep pockets of her light blue jeans, she shoved the key in the keyhole and turned it, hesitation before turning the knob to open the door. What if she was already inside?
"There's no reason to be nervous or anything. She's just...a person. Just a regular person, Nat. Quit being such a baby," she told herself as sort of a little pep talk. Putting on her best smile, she turned the knob and threw the door open, nudging her bag inside with her foot as she looked around. It...it was huge in there! It seemed like the living room was larger than the entire house she lived in, let along the small room she had.
"Woah. It's HUGE in here!" she yelled, almost expecting an echo. When she realized she was a bit louder than she'd intended to be, she looked around to make sure she hadn't really disturbed anyone, preparing an apology if she had. "Oops," she whispered to herself.

Oh girl, it's true I can never be away from you It's like you gloss your lips with glue Oh we kiss and I am ❖ ❖ ❖ s t u c k t o y o u ❖ ❖ ❖ It was finally moving day for Caia, and she was kind of excited. The same could be said for her parents too. They had been urging her to go ahead and move into the dorms since the year started, but she kept holding off. It was becoming increasingly harder to do so in the recent weeks though. She wasn’t lonely, but the more she met the interesting people of Fukui, the more she wondered how it would be to live on school grounds like many of the other students did. This excitement, or maybe curiosity was a better word for what she felt, had gotten her out of bed quite early in the day to move. Her parents both had to work later in the day too, so it was the only time when she could get help moving all of her things in. Even with her leaving early, she kind of expected her roommate to be their when she arrived, but there was no one, much to her disappointment. But instead of sulking, which was very much unlike her, she took this time alone to get comfortable in her new living space once she was completely unpacked. She made herself at home on her new bed, deciding to grab her bass guitar and have a quiet jam session by herself. Caia was usually fine being alone. Or at least she was in places that she felt comfortable in. She had been at Fukui for a while but had avoided moving into the dorms just yet. The thought of hanging out alone in a room surrounded by other people’s unfamiliar noises but still having no one around… Well, it made her uncomfortable and restless. Only a few minutes into playing, she heard the sound of an unfamiliar voice shouting in the common area outside of her room. Her new roommate, perhaps? Caia couldn’t really tell if it was coming from inside or outside of the unit. Either way, the voice caused her to perk up instantly and after a brief pause, she stood up from her bed and sat her bass guitar down before heading out. She pulled her door open and, as expected, there stood a girl in the commons area with her bright eyes scanning the room. She leaned in the doorframe and crossed her arms over her chest, her drab eyes fixed on what she assumed was her new roommate. ”I guess you must be Natalie.” tags: @natalie • words: 409 • notes: none

Looking around the room, bag on the floor beside her, she hadn't caught site of the fact that the roommate was indeed int the room until she spoke up. She whirled around to face her, surprised for a second before smiling.
"Yup! That's me! But you can call me Nat, if you want," she explained. She wasn't really sure what she was expecting, but this girl looked nothing like she pictured. She was tall, for one thing, and her hair was short...she was actually sorta pretty. But either way, they'd still be roommates, no matter what she looked like, so that hardly mattered then, right? Walking over to the other, she stuck out her hand for the other to shake after having introduced yourself.
"Sorry for the noise earlier, I get excited," she admitted. "They never told me your name, I think, just that I'd see you," she said with a bit of a giggle, her way of asking the other's name. Even if they had mentioned it, she was too excited to remember it. Besides, what was the harm in being introduced personally anyways?
