Zaya ran outside. "Finally! It was so stuffy in that tiny dorm."

Jack laughed. Suddenly he stuck out his hand. "I'm Jack SNow." he said. Annie came down behind them and sat underneath a tree with her book.
Zaya walked over. She put her hand in his. "Zaya Yomaho. Nice to meet you." She shook his hand. Then ran out into the open. Finally she sat down on the edge of the fountain for a break.
Annie watched this. Jack sat trying to pronounce the name. "Zaya Yomoha. NO, Zaya Yomaho. Zay Yomaho." he said to himself. He finally got it right.
Zaya laughed. "Ya it is kind of an interesting name isn't it. My friends call me Zay-Zay. They know i hate it. That's lame and girly. I'm more of a tom-boy."
Zaya looked up at Jack. "I was thinking of making a nickname myself, but i thought that'd seem weird."
"well i can't really come up with good ones anyway.", she looked up at the sky. ((What season/time of day is it?))
((uuuhhh... How bout just beggining the school year, so it's fall, and its around 6:00? BRB, i wanna snack.)) "Yeah, well, your parents don't call you Jack Frost." he grumbled.
Zaya smothered a giggle. "Really? Jack Frost? at least that makes sense. I wouldn't say Zay-Zay fits with my personality.", said Zaya as she wiped her hair out of her face.
"And Jack Frost fits with mine? As soon as I save up enough, I changing my name so I'm not Jack Snow." he vowed.
Zaya looked shocked. "Your CHANGING your name? Why? You should be proud of your name! Your nameis part of what makes you unique! I would NEVER do something like that. Sure i dyed my hair. but that was to help make me unique. I can't imagine changing my name."
He looked at her with an odd look on his face. "You died your hair?" he says, changing the subject.
"Cool." he says, running a hand through his own hair, making it stand up. ((I'm making him sort of like James.))
((james?)) She looked up at him. "What's your brother like? He seems pretty amazing if he's only 17 and in college."
((James Potter.)) He frowned. He didn't want to admit it, but he always felt shadowed by his younger brother. "He's nerdy." he said. Just then, Peter walked across the grounds and sat down not a far distance away. "Yo Peter!" He called. "Get over here!" he came, looking nervous. "What?" "Zaya wants to meet you." Peter waved, avoiding Zaya's gaze. "Hi."
He brightens. "Cool! Me too! What classes do you have this year?" Jack cuts in, "If your not taking trigonomitry or the history of math, Peter won't listen." The mentioned brother blushed.
Annie watched all this unfold, not reading anymore. "I do too." Peter mumurs. Jack made a face. "I wouldn't go to college if mom didn't make me."
Zaya looked in shock. "Do you even REALIZE that college gives you SO much oppurtunity? You can do so much more with a graduation from college!"
He made a face. "So? I'm probably destined to be a stores clerk for the rest of my life, I don't need a master's degree for that."
Zaya couldn't take it anymore. She got up and went to go back to her dorm. "I better get back to my dorm. I'll see you tomorrow. Nice to meet you!", she walked back inside.
When Zaya got back to her dorm Violet was still sitting there, reading her same book. Zaya layed down on her mattress and started to go through everything that had happened. How could you not care about a degree? Or your career? It was just impossible for her brain to compute.
Violet put down her book. "So what happened on your adventure?", she asked. Zaya sat up. "Well i met 2 boys. One who doesn't care at all about his life, and one who takes awesome care of his life."
Peter shuffles his feet again. "Bye jack." he says.. He heads back for his dorm, Jack on his heels.
Annie and peter reach the fountain they had sat at earlier. "Sorry about your brother." a shrug.
