He loved these people already. Luna, Andy and Remmy---Andy was the silvery-haired tech-type, Remmy the athlete type. After they ate they went outside, wandering the grounds. Beautiful. After a huge patio full of couches and tables and chairs under heavy, protective umbrellas, the grass began. Then the gardens. And there was a lake, crystalline blue, and so many trees in the distance. Those that dotted the emerald grass closer by were huge and thick, and offered vast amounts of shade. He walked with his new friends, their little group gaining more people that had finished inspecting the inside of the building and were looking for a walk outside. Those of different sizes and heights, different colors and personalities, talking excitedly about their new home. It was just a shame they had to leave at the end of two years.

Angel, his new friends, and a few others broke away to sit under a tree and share stories. Where they came from, when they learned they had specific talents. Luna seemed to have thought she would have to be forced into an office and have her creativity squashed out of her, but felt it was a saving grace when she got her acceptance to Stanley Welsh. Remmy just hadn't been good enough in high school to get a scholarship, and was hoping to change that with his second chance now. But Andy just seemed to be a flighty type, assuring them that his true, focused colors came out when he had a motherboard in his hand.

He loved it all. Three new friends in the very first day. Surely they would become closer as time went on. Or Angel hoped, desperately. Now, at least, he had some good news to tell Chris when he called tonight. Though reluctant, he was already watching the sky begin to grow deep sapphire with afternoon's waning, and bid the group goodbye. They made plans to wander the school together to get a fitting idea of where they were headed any given time, and make sure they knew where each classroom was. Angel sighed as he walked back to the building, feeling his lungs rasp a little. Ragweed, perhaps... It could be everywhere. Though perhaps it was the pollen too, from the garden nearby. It would clear up once he was inside.
