Warming Up [[Annie]]

[Matison Taylor]

Matison decided that after her walk with Desiree she would go get a coffe to warm her up. Her boots were covered in snow, and her socks were wet, making her toes freeze. Since she couldn't do much about it until she got back to her dorm, she would stick it out.

The door chimmed as she walked into Starbucks, which wasn't overly crowded thank god. She picked a small two person table, since there were no one person tables available. She ordered her coffee then sat down with it, sipping it slowly.

As she took her hat off, she shook her hair a bit, getting out teh snowflakes caught in it. It was slightly damp, so she got an elastic and tied it back, in a pony tail. Taking another sip of her coffee, she looked out the window. She wasn't used to this town, and was afraid she would get lost on her way back to her dorm. Which she probably would. Sighing she heard the door chime again, and looked to see if it was someone she knew.

[Annie McBain]

Leaving her family behind in New Jersey was hard for her. The whole way to Salem, Massachusets she cried. It had already been hard for her to break up with her beloved Jason but she knew she had to. He was a senior when she left him and always got good grades in his classes. Straight A's, and they were so compabtible it was not even funny. They day they broke up was the day she was moving here. They spent every last moment together. The couple had decided to break up for the best. They couldn't do a long distance relationship with her classes, and his job, and school. It would be to hard for her.

On the long taxi drive there she looked out at the window as the streets and houses were covered in snow. She saw snow in Jersey before she left and it brought back many memories. Finally she had arrived at the . It was covered in snow and she finally felt like she was where she belonged. She was wearing her uggs, and large overshirt, with leggings. Her reading glasses. She got out and set her suitcases, portfolios, shoes, and purse on the ground and walked into the school.

She set her stuff down and checked in, getting her schedule and dorm room. She than said "thank you" and walked out getting her stuff and placing it in her dorm. She set everything down and felt like going to get a coffee and heard there was a local starbucks next door. She got her jacket, and her scarf and headed over there. Walking in she went over to the counter and bought a mocha latte, and a chocolate muffin. While she waited she looked around the room. Hearing her number being called she walked up to them payed for it and took it. She saw somebody and sat down. She looked down and said "Hi" and waited for a response.

[Matison Taylor]

"oh, hi." Matison said, not expecting her to speak to her. "I'm Matison." She said giving a slight smile. She might as well just put that out there. Ever since coming here, she only had made two friends, and it would be great to have another.

Not that she expected this girl to be here friend. She had learned not to judge people until you really knew them. Sure, she seemed nice enough, but you really never knew. She could be a total bitch. Not that she was saying she was! She just... oh nevermind.

This was only her fourth day here in Salem, and she decided to make it the start of a new life. Again. For the millionth time in her life. She a;ways had to start over, since her family always packed up and moved. But she decided to make this time the best time, by doing it all, taking everything in. And not being so damn shy. Thats why she decided to talk to this girl. "And you are?" She asked, not rudely, but in a friendly tone, offering a smile.
