[/center] Shin would've never seen herself moving into the dormitories. Sure she'd rather live anywhere else but that lame ass apartment her aunt put her in. But yet she was here, convinced by her cousin and her aunt, telling that if she moved to America to be independent then that mean she needed to be completely independent and not depending on her aunt for a place to put her clothes. They were probably sitting their plotting for her to move into the dorms. They knew she was too young to live on her own and her paycheck was way too low for her to start spending it on a house or anything of the sort.
The girl sighed annoyingly as she found out that she was to be partnered with somebody inside the dorms. She couldn't imagine who it was going to be and she really hoped she didn't have anyone yet. She liked to be able to escape to some place for some alone time. But as she dragged her bags along, coming to a stop in front of the door, she saw two names on the door tag and pouted lightly. "Got dammit! Ugh... I hope this chick isn't extra annoying" She muttered lightly to herself before setting one of her bags down and reaching for the key. Shin unlocked the door and flicked on the light, the room wasn't too bad. It was different from her room back in Korea but it still seemed cozy. Dropping her bags she sighed in relief and stumbled over to the first bed she saw, whether it was hers or not; plopping down on it she buried her face in the sheets and sighed once more.

Kiara ran up the stairs to the girl's dorms, her mind at rest, for once. She'd just been out for a walk around town, not to buy anything, just to enjoy the cool air outside. Her mind had been cleared, she felt relaxed, and that was good enough for her. She rarely felt normal any more, but she didn't talk to anyone about it, she didn't want people talking about her, bullying her, or pitying her. It wasn't right. The sophomore turned the corner, pulling a key out of her pocket to the door of room two, her little place, but when she came to the door, she noticed a new name plate on the door. She had a roommate? She blinked, thinking: thanks for the notice, school. She sighed, hoping she'd be liked by this new person, and opened the door, closing it shut lightly behind her.
Kiara scanned the room, and eventually spotted a girl laying on one of the beds, face down. Where they sleeping, crying, or just laying there for the hell of it? The bed she had fallen upon wasn't hers, so it didn't bother Kiara that much. Keeping her eyes on her new roommate, she moved towards her own bed, sitting down, legs crossed, grabbing one of the little cushions nearby, and hugging it over her stomach. She tilted her head to the side, just looking for a moment before eventually saying, "You must be Kim, right? I'm Kiara, it's nice to meet you." She let a light smile sit upon her pink lips, while her dark green irises scanned the rest of the room. She felt a little awkward inside, hoping that Kim, if this really was her, wasn't going to snap at her for no reason. The last thing she wanted was for them both to hate each other and get off to a bad start. Because really, who'd want to live with an enemy?

[/center] Shin found herself beginning to daze off. The bed wasn't too bad, she thought for sure it was going to be hard and uncomfortable to sleep on but it wasn't too bad. It wasn't the best bed she'd ever laid on but it wasn't the worst either. Thinking of the worst bed she'd ever slept on gave her shivers down her spine; she remembered when it felt like something was always sticking her in the bad when she'd try to turn. The thought was probably the only thing that kept her awake. She heard the door open and prepared herself for the worst. "You must be Kim, right? I'm Kiara, it's nice to meet you."
"It's Shin.." She said, correcting the girl. She had known too many people who called her by her surname and it was quite annoying. She'd prefer to be called Shin, not only did it fit her better, it was less annoying. Although she'd rather be living alone she knew that if she'd want to stay with this person, she'd make the situation less awkward and irritable as possible. Sitting up from her laid down position she looked towards her new roommate. She crossed her legs and leaned back on hands as she closely examined the other. "Kiara..." She repeated, not exactly sure if she was pronouncing it right. Her so called 'American accent' was slightly passable, English being her second language and all. "Tis nice to meet you too." She continued with a light nod of her head.
So far so good. Shin was being calm and the other didn't give her a reason to get irate. Shin had a feeling the other really didn't mean any harm. She could see the innocence behind those big blue eyes of hers... and what beautiful big blue eyes of hers. Shin couldn't help but to smirk lightly as she glanced towards Kiara. "She's a cutie.." Shin told herself. "So.. How long have you been here, y'know, attending dis school?" Shin thought she'd might as well strike up a conversation, get to know her roommate, since they'll be hanging around each other for quite awhile.

Kiara waited patiently for a reply, sat on her bed, hugging the pillow. Blinking at the correction of her roommate's name, she nodded, "Oh, I'm sorry. Shin." She repeated, making a mental note. It'd be kind of awkward, forgetting your own roommate's name. Kiara was beginning to get the feeling Shin wanted nothing to do with her, which started to make her feel awkward. She didn't want to try too hard to become friends with the person she was living with, but she didn't want to not try at all. She had to be as neutral as possible. Shin seemed like one of those people who got annoyed when people tried to hard to impress them, or that's what Kiara felt, anyways. It was a guess.
Then, her roommate sat up, which was a good thing, because it meant she was ready to take on some kind of conversation. Kiara was observant of people's body language, she liked to watch what people did, and analyze it to understand that person, or people in general, more. When Shin repeated her name, Kiara nodded, to say she was getting it right. At her next words, Kiara finally felt like they were getting off to a good start, now. Well, it seemed they wouldn't hate each other, but who knew if they'd ever become friends? Only time can tell, can't it? She picked at the silky fabric of her cushion whilst listening to her roommate's next question. How long had she been here? Kiara had to think for a moment.
It was after her carer, Ethal passed away in the late August, of cancer. Kiara wasn't related to Ethal, and it was a long and tragic story of how they came to live with each other in the first place, but even though they weren't blood related, Ethal would always be a Grandmother to Kiara, no matter what anyone said. But no one would ever say anything, because no one would ever know about that dark time of Kiara's life. At least... Not anyone she couldn't trust with her life. Someday, at least one person would know, but that time just wasn't going to be now. So, it was in the late August Kiara moved to Bluewater Bay, and she started in the school that September.
"I moved here in the late August of this year, a week before school began, I think." Kiara let her mind wander for a second, before firing the question back at Shin, "what about you? Have you only just moved over here, or did you live with parents before, or..." She shrugged, out of ideas, or suggestions, whatever Shin decided to class them as. Kiara wasn't a nosy girl, she was just... Curious in some ways. Almost child-like. But she knew that she'd never truly have the mind of a child. Not after all that's happened to her.

Shin listened to the girl speak and nodded. The more she looked at Kiara the more noticed how cute she was. She wondered if she was dating anyone.... psh, what the hell did it matter if she was? Shin would still make her move, claimed or not, just made it worth the challenge. She began to wonder if she even swung that way. If she didn't she will when Shin's finished with her.
"what about you? Have you only just moved over here, or did you live with parents before, or..."
All sinister thoughts aside, Shin listened to the question Kiara had asked her and began to think about what month it was when she had moved here. "I wasn't here for too long.. Probably just about two weeks now. I moved here to work for my great aunt. Parents dropped me off then disappeared, they said it was cause they wanted me to become more independent. Heh.." She said, sitting up and resting her elbow on her knee while her hand supported her head, sitting under her chin. She knew that wasn't the real reason her parents had shipped her off to America. They wanted to get rid of her. Well, her mother did anyway. Her father and her were actually quite cool. It was her mother who always acted like she had a stick up her ass.
She had been to America a few times before, visiting her grandmother, that's why her English was so good.
Sighing, she let the thought slide and sat up from her slouched position. "So.. What do you guys do here for fun, ever throw any wild parties?" She asked with a small grin. This was actually her first time ever staying inside of a dorm. So excuse her if her information on what exactly 'dorm people' do in their spare time.

Shin looked to be very involved with her thoughts, Kiara noticed when she took a short break in her sentences. It made her wonder what she was thinking about, since a part of her roommate's facial expressions looked very.. Mischievous. Kiara smiled at that, if Shin was good at coming up with fun ideas, then this was something Kiara could easily get used to. Kiara was more of a quiet girl, especially when she first met someone, but as she got to know them more, she found that her confidence levels shot up really high. She was careful, a cautious girl too, but she wouldn't turn down a new experience if she got the chance, unless it was an utterly stupid and dangerous idea, then exceptions would be made.
"And then you ended up in here? Was that at will or..?" She was asking questions again, maybe some Shin didn't feel like answering. Kiara wouldn't be offended if that was the case, she knew how it was. Some questions she didn't like answering, herself. It was like she was giving too much away. She wanted some things just to stay safe in her mind, to belong to her. There was a short silence then, in which Kiara thought about Ethal, again. Where was she now? Was she watching over her, or what? Had she been reborn? Kiara hoped so. She deserved it, and people like her were needed in this world. Caring unconditionally, taking in strangers if they were needy...
She snapped out of her thoughts again when she heard Shin. "Er.." She thought for a few seconds, she didn't really attend parties - she didn't get invited. "You don't really see me around parties, but there is a few going on. I tend to stay in most of the time," Kiara blushed at telling her room mate that for some reason, but continued anyway, "There's a Christmas Dance and a New Year's Festival that'll be going on soon, too." She nodded, "I heard they're quite good."
She smiled, glad this was an easy conversation, "Are you a party type person then? Okay, if you could describe yourself using five words, what would they be?"

Shin thought about it for a moment, scratching the back of her head. Well, her parents would usually never be able to get her to do things by force so guess she did come here by will. She was just aching to get away from her parents, be out on her own, in search of adventure. By saying 'they wanted her to go to America to become more independent' that was her free ticket out of there. She knew her mother hated her guts; she actually just hated the thought of Shin not being that 'girly girl' she always wanted. She basically just wanted Shin out of her life and Shin was actually cool with that. She didn't want to be bothered with them anyway, now she could do whatever she wanted and didn't have to worry about anyone else telling her what she can and cannot do.
"Er.. You don't really see me around parties, but there is a few going on. I tend to stay in most of the time,"
Oh great.. She has to be in a dorm with a nerd. Shin couldn't help but to chuckle lightly at the turn of events. Well technically Kiara wouldn't be a nerd, but she wasn't a party girl either and anyone who doesn't party every three or for days is a nerd. Obviously there was a reason she didn't go to the parties. Either she'd truly turn down every invitation or she didn't get any. Shin had to not be so stereotypical; if she was going to be a roommates with this girl then she had to show her the much better things in life and show her she shall. Kiara must of wanted to be friends with Shin or at least have some kind of relation if she didn't mind wasting her time with an innocent conversation. Perhaps Kiara had some potential, she had the looks. Her social skills came from her personality, she didn't seem to be the loner type ( hence the reason she put her in the 'nerd' category ), but she didn't seem to be overly hyper-active either, which gave her brownie points, since Shin doesn't really like those types anyway. More observation was in cost.
"There's a Christmas Dance and a New Year's Festival that'll be going on soon, too. I heard they're quite good."
A Christmas event? Well, she figured as much. She heard from her aunt that business gets crazy during the holidays. She didn't have to return to work until next week so she'd be able to make it there. "Oh really? Maybe I'll see you there" She said. Why not, it sounded like fun.
"Are you a party type person then? Okay, if you could describe yourself using five words, what would they be?"
Rather good question, what words would she use to describe herself? "Hmm... Adventuress, awesomely awesome, fun, courageous, and.. Epic" She concluded with a light grin on her face, one that could almost be mistaken for a smirk, chuckling light after wards. Okay, so she was full of herself, but so what, who wasn't? Not all of the things she used to describe herself were actual words though. "What about you?" She asked.

Being the observant girl she was, Kiara noticed that Shin seemed to be thinking of a way to stereotype her. Everyone did that, didn't they? Kiara knew that once Shin got to know her more, she'd have to keep changing her views over and over. 'I'm one of those people who just can't be grouped up properly.' She thought, the corners of her mouth moving up ever so slightly into a secret smile. Her dark green eyes were light, now. Her new roommate was one of those people she could just keep a conversation going with, without feeling awkward, or whatever.. Which was great, because it wouldn't be that easy if they both hated each other, or had no interest in each other at all. Imagine that. Waking up in the morning, to see your roommate just hanging around, glaring at you from the other side of the room. There were two more open places in this dorm, Kiara realised... She hoped her other roommates would like her, when they arrived. And Shin. She guessed herself and Shin would probably have to stick together if some bitchy girl started living with them. Or... Shin seemed to be one of those people who wouldn't tolerate people like that. She might beat them to shit, or whatever. After everything what happened in Kiara's thirteen years, she couldn't bring herself to hurt another person, even if they hurt her. It just... Didn't seem right.
"You might." Kiara replied with a smile, still unsure of whether she wanted to go or not. Who'd be there? She didn't want to turn up alone and then spend the night looking like an idiot and a loner. Kiara wasn't like that. She'd talk to someone if they spoke to her... It was just for the simple fact that she was incredibly shy, usually, that she didn't strike up a conversation with anyone else. Unless it was completely necessary. Kiara felt tons more comfortable around people she knew, but then again, didn't everyone? Maybe her feelings were just stronger towards the matter. She'd never been that confident, but hey, everyone's different, and there's always room for change. If you set your mind on something, and keep trying, the best usually comes out of it. If she had the time to build her self esteem and confidence, she would. But she had no time, ever. Or so it seemed.
Kiara laughed at the words Shin used to describe herself, and then wished she could have the same type of self esteem. She didn't laugh in a mocking way, it was more of a 'and you could prove that' laugh. A statement. Kiara's laugh faded as the question was fired back at her. It wasn't like she hadn't being expecting the question, not at all. She knew it would be reflected on her, it was just that she had no idea how to describe herself. She didn't want to sound pessimistic and depressed, but she didn't want to lie, and say she had loads of confidence in herself either. She thought for a moment before saying, "Hm... I suppose.. Quiet, relaxed, terribly shy, open-minded, and... Unique." A light smile appeared on her face again, "I think I'll let you be the judge of that, though." She moved from her sitting position, throwing the cushion to the side lightly, and laying on her stomach, her arms halfway over the edge off her bed. She looked down at the floor for a moment, wondering what she could say next, before returning her gaze to Shin, still smiling. "What do you hate about people? I think I need to know this, just in case." She laughed, but really, she was serious. She didn't want to get on anyone's bad side, especially if she was living with them. She had a right to know, right?

Shin smirked and nodded. It might be fun to hang out with her roommate and if she wasn't as much of a party-pooper as Shin thought her to be, than perhaps things might end up being that much enjoyable. But if she was, Shin would find ways to turn her to a more entertaining roommate. The korean girl was quite curious though; she was being so judgmental about her roommate but she never stopped to think of what her roommate might be thinking of her. Did Kiara look at Shin and the first thought to escape her mind was 'lesbo!'. She wondered if Kiara even knew, perhaps she did and acted as if she didn't or maybe the topic just didn't interest her whatsoever. That would be great, being friends with someone and not caring what their sexuality was is a good quality.
"Hm... I suppose.. Quiet, relaxed, terribly shy, open-minded, and... Unique... I think I'll let you be the judge of that, though."
Tsk tsk tsk. This simply won't do. If that's the way she saw herself, then she was definitely not the party-type. Shin wanted a friend she'd be able to go on adventures with, not just sob around and stay away from the crowd with. No boring shit. She wanted to be out and about, living life while it was still young. Shin could always ignore Kiara and exclude her from any future events she might have. But why do that? She'd actually feel kind of bad if she did that. I mean, how awkward will it be ignoring someone you live with, having to walk past them, know their name, know that you could say something, but don't say anything at all and just carry on as if their invisible. Shin actually wanted to put some effort in the friendship they were soon to have. Well.. why not?
"What do you hate about people? I think I need to know this, just in case."
A perfect question, Shin knew the girl was serious. No one could intentionally laugh off a question like that. Shin was sure that Kiara wouldn't have asked the question if she didn't mean it. "Hm.. Well.. I try not to limit the things I hate about people. Since some people give me more and more reasons to hate them. I guess it just depends on the person really." She said, as she laid on her back and stared up at the ceiling. Really putting some thought into the question and her answer. "Honestly, I just hate fakers. I mean.. If you can't be real to you, then why bother acting as if you care" She concluded.
