Nikki smiled warmly at her flatmate,<strong>"Nikki Drake.  It's nice to meet you Lihua.  Thanks.  I like the purple."</strong>She said before chuckling.<br/><br/>She wasn't sure what Otep was and didn't want to embarrass herself by asking.<br/><br/><strong>"Have you been here long?  Know who else we're living with?"</strong><br/><br/>As if on cue, a girl with a large sunhat, Ray-bans, Prada bag, and typical teenage attire entered.<br/><br/><strong>"Hi,"</strong>Nikki said politely with only a hint of excitement.<br/><br/>Not all that musical herself, Nikki glanced at the violin, didn't recognize the name, and then looked at Lihua.  It seemed like she might just find herself paired with some musically gifted individuals.  Her attention, however, ventured back to the face half hidden behind the Ray-Bans while inside.<br/><br/><strong>"Do you need help with anything?"</strong>Nikki offered.  The newcomer had a very large bag, that seemed to dwarf her in compassion, but other than that Nikki didn't see anything to help the girl with, and she wasn't really volunteering to carry that giant bag the rest of the way.<br/><br/><strong>"I'm Nikki, by the way,"</strong>she said to Sophia before returning looking at Lihua once more.<strong>"Either of you planning on going to the beach later?"</strong>
