It was loud. That was my first thought when I entered the building. Loud and encasing. A
part of me that I couldn't really remember embraced the noise. Something inside of me that
I didn't know was tensed loosened. I let go the breath I was holding and walked farther into
the building.

Some people gave me wired looks, I was used to that. I just smiled at them and winked at
a few others, making my way down the hallway. I risked a glance on my wristwatch, still
had about 10 minutes to get to class. Some how I had managed to get an early start on
the day. For that I was grateful. I secured my bag on my shoulder and continued my trek
towards my first classroom. Studying the numbers next to doors that led down the hall I
concluded that my class would be on the upper level.

I took the stairs two at a time, my legs pushing me up without causing them to cramp or become
sore in any way. I smirked at myself letting a little self gratification ease my nerves. It
never hurt to admire ones self as Grin would say. As long as you don't become conceded with
yourself. I was in the best shape that I had ever been in. A good amount of students were
mingling and entering classrooms, I focused on looking for the room.

Last room on the left. I deduced to myself as I came near the end of the classrooms on the
left. The number on my paper and the number to the room were one and the same. I
subconsciously shook myself and stepped into the open door. It looked normal enough I decided,
there were already a few students in the room a couple of them looked up and stared at me.
Like I said before I'm used to it. I smiled right back at the few that did stare.

I took a seat at the far side of the classroom in the middle of the row, slumping my bag
off I slouched a little. I felt a presence behind me as another kid took the seat
behind. I rolled my head back and looked at him through blonde locks. "Can I help you?"

He looked a little flustered but in the end smiled. "Actually I came over here to introduce
myself." He said finally. I turned in my seat so I was looking at him easier. "Uhh my names
Allan, Allan Tavan." He hesitated for a second. "I play hockey." Ahh so this was his game.
Though I have to admit he looked a little familiar to me. I couldn't place it. Light brown
eyes and a crop of dark brown hair that seemed to have a life of its own, narrow face.

"Nosedive Mcblake." I said. "So do I." Now was the part where he wanted me to show him
some moves, but instead he grinned at me.

"There's hardly any one around here that's a decent player, I know I've been here for a
semester already." His smile was sincere, so I politely smiled in return. "I'm also from
Anaheim." He said at last. "Well sort of, I live maybe 20 miles east outside of it, but I
have some family that lives there."

"Oh." I raised an eyebrow at him. He smiled again, he was being pretty friendly and sincere
so I let a little of my guard down. It was usually up full force when I met new humans. I was
wondering what he was getting at, when he finally said it.

"I'm, Mookies cousin." He finally said after a while. My eyes widened and I think my beak
dropped.

"Oh!" I said finally. "Hi," I laughed out loud.

He grinned at me, now I knew where I knew him from . I met him once when I got suckered
into going to Mookie's house to get something from her room because she was in trouble with
her mom and didn't want to get it herself. Her family was there at the time. They were
pretty nice. I had only seen a glimpse of Allan because he was playing Play station at the
time of my arrival.

"Yeah." He reached his hand out and we shook. "I remember only seeing you a couple times
at Mookies, but we were never properly introduced." His smile was warm and welcoming.

"Well its nice to meet you formerly." I said at last. Now that the name was with the face
I could see the resemblance from Mookie just the eyes though. He raised his eyebrows at me.

"I know its been awhile since I've seen Mookie or even heard about you but your pretty
polite, not what I remember her saying about you." He said it in good humor, I detected
no hidden meanings in his words.

"Yeah, well sometimes people change," I grinned and tried to loosen up a little. "I'm just a
little stressed out that's all." Why did I just say that to him? I shook my self out of my
little question. He was still grinning but reaching for his own bag.

"Yeah I know what your talking about." He said while rummaging through his pack. "Here we
go." Allan looked up just as the teacher came in and my attention was torn. He shoved
what ever he was getting into my hands and sat back, he winked at me and I looked down.
"Here you can barrow this."

One of the newest comics that I had been itching to read lay there. I grinned and stuffed
it into my pack. "Thanks." The teacher took that time to speak up after arranging papers
on his desk. He looked up and every one in the room became quiet. Two more people slinked
in and they stopped in mid sentence at the sight of him. They found seats silently. He
blinked and the bell rang.

"For most of you, if not all of you. I welcome you to College."
