James followed after Xavier and Adrian towards the dorms.
"So what's your story?" Xavier asked him as the trio walked along.
James shrugged in response. "I don't really have a story yet. I'm just here with my sister, waiting until I can start I guess. We used to live in Philadelphia but ah.." James paused, not wanting to delve too much into his history. He didn't even know, or trust, these guys that well yet. James pushed his curly bangs out of his eyes. "It didn't work out. So now we're here."
James let the conversation die off for a moment, enjoying the brief silence before it got awkward. "So what about you guys? What elective are you taking?"
"Art." Not saying anything else, Adrien stayed silent having closed himself up again from the presence of the new guy."That's cool, I'm in swimming" Xavier said wondering if the ginger boy would be with him so far he knew of no one who was in swimming with him.
Evangeline didn't know what to do, she won't let her touch her but I need to help her in some way.. Should I call Adrien...? No. I need to do this. Looking at the girl she frowned slightly.Still trembling and grasping the wall for support, Esme shakes her head imperatively. Her grey eyes were huge, drifting and bloodshot, like she was blind and seeing too much at the same time.
"Swimming for me too. Kind of excited to check out the pool tomorrow." James sighed, hoping it wouldn't as ghetto as the one in his old school.
"Art." Adrian had said, finally breaking his silence.
James raised an eye at the brusqueness of his answer but questioned it none. "That's cool, respect man. I can't draw worth shit." James laughed at himself. "You'll have to show me some stuff another time. Remind me to have you on my team for Pictionary okay?"

Adrian stood there in silence and then looked over at James, ".... okay.""Cool now I'll know someone in swimming class" Xavier said to the new guy "I here it's pretty big, you think we have to wear speedos?"
"I know... I barely know you either. But that doesn't matter to me. You are in trouble and need some help. I want to help you..."Esme wobbles, her knees threatening to give once more as she nears their dorm room. "I-I ba-aa-rel-y kn-o-o-w yo-o-u."
