Don't-- don't touch that.
It was her several hundred dollar Louis Vuitton bag, a prized possession. She'd gotten it for her past birthday as a way to buy her off 'till next year, but despite the harsh meaning, she cherished it. The chubby girl who had been fingering the leather set it down carefully. Her name was Alice, but Rae didn't really care. The girl picked up her glasses with her sticky fingers, leaving oily fingerprints over the frames.
Um, here, let me take that... Quickly, she took the bag from her roommate, frowning at how nosy she was. The girl's side of the dorm was covered in posters of foals and crudely drawn horses. She guessed they were from her siblings, or something. A picture frame of a bunch of girls with green gunk on their faces sat on her roommates bedside table.
Rae turned her attention to her space. Everything was orderly, each item having its own place where it belonged. Her suitcase wasn't still open letting her undergarments fly out all over the place, unlike Alice, and her toiletries weren't leaving a wet ring on her nightstand. Hopping onto the bed, she pulled on a pair of knee-high socks. It was cold, and her flannel shorts just weren't doing the trick. As if on auto-pilot, she scribbled a letter to her parents, which said everything was wonderful, blah blah blah. It was sickening, how much bull her parents would believe.

Alexa walked into Dorm 2, all of her things had been brought to her room earlier, and as far as she knew she was the only person in her room. She stood staring at the cream colored walls, making sure everything she had was in place. She sat down at her desk and set up some pictures of Alazar. She put her expensive luggage in the back of her closet. Her clothes were unpacked and put away, her pictures had been hung up and her favroite trophies were in place on the gigantic oak trophy case. Alexa laid on her bed, which was made with black and cream colored bedding. She sat there smiling about her new school and decided to sit with her laptop until her room mate came.

Rae came back in from the bathroom, and found their third roommate was here. Quietly, she sat on her bed, and pulled out her Sidekick. She began rapidly typing text messages. Her phone pinged, signaling a reply, and she bit her lip, shooting a glance towards the other bed. This new girl was bound to notice she was there, but she had hoped to prolong confrontation for as long as possible. Quickly, she went back to her phone, grinning at a picture her friends had sent her. Alice thundered past her, her monstrous bulk shaking the floor as if there were an earthquake. Rae reached for her reading glasses, and found they'd been knocked over by Alice when she'd trudged in. She picked them up and slid them onto her nose, her heart pounding as she typed a message to her friend, Zac. She'd thought there'd been some "signals" whenever she was around him, but a quick check with Stephanie confirmed he'd found himself someone else. Exasperated, she threw the sidekick down on the bed, and she went back to her monotonous letter to her parents.

Alexa finished typing up her last couple of instanst messages, then noticed what seemed to be her other room mates entering the room. This should be interesting she thught to herself then looked back down at her computer. She thought it would be best just to break the ice, this way they'd find out if they liked each other or not right away. So she shoved her laptop over and closd it, leaving it on her bed. She stood up, smoothed her short pleated burberry skirt and adjusted her white tank top, then zipped her black sweatshirt jacket over it. She walked over to the desk where her room mate was writing her letter and tapped her on the shoulder. "You must be my new room mate. I'm Alexa, Alexa Summers. And you are?" Alexa said playing with her long loose blonde hair.

She was shocked by her bluntness. Raelynn Swaze-- Rae. She put her pen down, feeling embarrassed. She quickly shoved the letter away, as it was corny and fake and reflected none of her feelings. Her eyes flickered to the picture of a fine horse on the girl's nightstand. That your horse? she inquired, actually interested, not just faking it.

Alexa looked over to where Rae was pointing. She tossed her blonde hair over her shoulder and smiled. "Yeah actually" she said walking over to get the picturen from her nightstand. She ran her hands over the hardwood frame, then felt each letter in the name Alazar which was engraved on the bottom. Then she brought it over. "This is Alazar, he's actually downstairs at the barn. He's a Dutch Warmblood. My dad got him for me for my birthday 4 years ago" she said handing Rae the picture. "So do you have a horse here?"

[ooc. doing first person POV. for now]
I smiled at the warmblood, listening to his name. I handed her the picture frame back, and heard her question. Yeah. His name's Al. He's a Hanoverian. My dad got him on a trip to Germany a few years ago. I didn't mention he was an attempt to buy me off, to keep me amused until I remembered my situation again. No, no need to mention that. But I was thankful for Al, nevertheless, because he was probably the best thing to happen to me in years. He's at the barn too, I added, in case it wasn't obvious. My phone vibrated loudly on the wooden desk, so I threw it on my bed where the noise was silent. I knew who it was from, and I didn't want to talk to him. Not now, not ever. I turned my attention back to the girl, ignoring Alice's manly snores coming from her bed.

A knock sounded on the door as she entered the place she had been assigned to stay. Looking around the girl noticed that it was small but adequate she had been in worse places then this before, tentively she called out, hello is anyone here? placing her ruck sack on the ground she stretched and had a better look around the space. Standing near the door the young woman stood at average height with longish black hair

Alexa smiled as she listened to Rae talk about her Hanovarian. Alexa had at one time had a beautiful Gray hanovarian gelding Ghandi, but she knew bring him up would be too hard so she just nodded and smiled. Alexa couldn't help thinking of him though, he was her first 'big-time' jumper, and they were a perfect team. Everyone knew it and they had won everything they enterd to date, that is until the accident. Just before her thoughts trailed off deeper she heard a girls voice in the hallway.

I turned my head to see were joined by yet another roommate. Hi, I said softly, furrowing my recently plucked eyebrows. I pulled absentmindedly at a strand of my own black hair, giving the girl a quick once-over. You are new roommate? I asked, somewhat ritorically, because, why else would she be here, right? My phone's vibrations were muffled by my duvet, but I could see the small lights blinking around the edges. Leaning over, I popped it open and shut it off, tossing it back onto its place on my bed.

Alexa noticed Rae's actions but decided since they just met she wouldnt ask any questions. Tucking her blonde hair behind her eyes Alexa went and grabbed her phone, she opened it and then realized she had a few missed calls. Before she went and answered them she turned twoard the new girl. "I'm Alexa, Nice to meet you" With thats she made her way over to the chaise lounge in their room and sat their toying with the buttons on her phone.

I lost interest quickly, and I opened my Mac. iTunes popped up, and, sliding on my head phones, I gladly tuned the rest of the world out with a little music to get me through the night. I typed several instant messages like a true typist, hitting at least 75 words a minute. I chatted about my lack of boy candy and finally closed the laptop, carefully sliding off my headphones so as not to muss my hair. I flipped open a compact mirror, checking my face for any signs of a breakout. I was near the end of the whole "acne" cycle, being seventeen and such, but one could never be too careful, no? Cringing, I spread some goop on my face, feeling the burn of the benzoyl peroxide. Man, weren't we a talkative bunch.

Alexa figured it was just the first night and things would get better, before bed she snuck down to the barn to see Alazar, when she got back up she noticed her roomate rubbing some kind of goo on her face. Alexa rinkled her nose at the smell of the stuff. Feeling the need to get out she said, "So do you want to go do something?" quite aware that it was getting late.

I looked up from my boring novel, a story of lost love and renewal. It made me want to barf. I raised an eyebrow at her suggestion, checking the clock beside my bed. I considered the fact that I should make a good impression upon the school, and follow curfew, and the fact that I had only just met this girl. But, as usual, sheer boredom and curiosity took over my better senses, and I muttered a quick, Sure, why not? I didn't know what there was to do, exactly, and I considered the possibilities as I slipped a pair of flats onto my knee-high sock clad feet. I quickly tamed my long black locks into a messy bun piled off center on the top of my head. I was quite aware that I looked awful, but I didn't really care. I shoved my SideKick into my purse, and awaited further ideas.

Kaye walked over to an empty bed and put her things to one side, she pulled out her phone and plugged it into the wall as it was dead and needed charging, straight away it beeped as missed messages came through one was from her brother since the other two girls hadent shown much interest in her and she didnt feel like pushing it just now she sat down and responded to him and sent her dad a message while she was at it, after she sat there looking around Alexa had gone down to see her horse and her other room mate was occupying herself so she sorted through her gear and pulled out her old mp3 player and her favourite book and curled up to read. When Alexa came back she looked up but didnt answer maybe she had only ment the other room mate she didnt want to look like and idiot so didnt respond
