The plane really could have not landed quick enough. Who knew her first ever flight would be delayed and full of nonstop turbulence. Not to mention the screaming toddler who attempted to pull her hair out from over the seat twice. Lucky for her she was the oldest of five. Patients was something she had developed early on. However, today was different. Today would be her first day at Miami University. Flying from the beaches of San Diego to the beaches of Florida. A new place where another chapter could began.<br/><br/>Lilly wasted little time before moving into the narrow aisle of the plane. Not before the still shrieking child could take another grab at her ponytail of course. This time succeeding, holding the long strain of golden brown hair like a trophy. Taking a deep breath she fought back the line of curse words eagerly waiting to be unleashed.<i>Happy thoughts Lil. Warm, sandy, blue watered thoughts. </i>The pep talk helping as she continued forward, thanking her dad for booking seats towards the front.<br/><br/>To her relief navigating the airport went a lot smoother than her morning. A black and teal sports bag had been the only thing she brought on the plane, eliminating the mess which was baggage claim. The contents of the bag was what was most important, and the very reason why she was in Miami. MU offered one of the best BFA programs around and being accepted was a dream come true. She'd even managed to snag herself a part time job teaching an intermediate class in ballet. Everything really was falling into place.<br/><br/>Lily kept her face practically smashed against the glass the entire way. Not wanting to miss any bit of the scenery as the yellow cab drove on. Her hometown was beautiful, even touristy, but nothing like this. Even the sky seeming a different shade of blue. Checking out the city was at the top of the list, right under checking out the beaches. The airport being a bit of a drive from MU gave her plenty of time to daydream.<br/><br/>Upon arrival Lily fumbled through her bag, remembering she had shoved her wallet in the somewhere in there hand counted out the owed cash. Adding a nice tip at the end. With a polite thank you she settled her bag across her slender shoulder and moved onto the sidewalk. Her blue eyes took on another round shape as she studied the building in front of her.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">Here we go </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">she thought out loud, taking in a deep breath. <br/>

Lily made her way through the chaotic crowd. The combination of arriving students and reunited friends added to the riotous atmosphere and to her excitement. A small smile crossed her full lips as she took it all in. Before she reached the doors which would lead her dorm Lily unfolded the paper she had gotten out on the drive. Completely forgetting her room number despite having looked it over a hundred times before. <i>Room 107, Gordon Lanrezac. </i>The thought of sharing a room with a guy wasn't an uncomfortable one. Afterall, she came from a heavily male dominated family. </span><br/><br/>She hurried inside and through the sea of people, mainly not to get trampled over. Using her slender, agile build to her advantage. Getting through the hallways was proving to be its own obstacle. She was glad she had dressed simply, a form fitting, grey tank top and pair of black spandex shorts. Her hopes now on air conditioning unit in her dorm as she reached the numbered door. Unsure if anyone was inside she gave the handle an extra turn before pushing it open, and not as gracefully as she hoped hearing bounce against the wall.<br/><br/>Immediately her eyes went to what was safe to assume as her roommate. Her eyes having to trail up slightly to make contact with his. Everything about him screaming athlete and seeing the items on his bed proved it. She offered him a friendly smile, extending one long leg back to hook her foot around the edge of door and closed it.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(84, 172, 210)">Gordon, right? I'm Lily. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(209, 213, 216)">she said, throwing her bag onto the available bed. </span><br/><div style="text-align: center">​</div>
