Morgan watched as the university drew into his line of sight. There was so much hanging at stake for his attendance, but he couldn't help grinning at the prospect of the new beginnings Xanthis offered him. Amber had already arrived a week ago at the University, but his own flight had only landed a few hours ago. Customs and luggage collection had taken close to two hours, and Morgan was sufficiently tired. He missed Wales, but the University had been his choice.
The cab drew into the grounds and after some enquiries, Morgan found himself outside of the Washington Dorms, but had no room number, or maybe he had, but those forms were somewhere in one of his many bags, and he wasn't in the mood to start scratching around for it. It also seemed that there weren't many students mulling around the dorms, so Morgan put down his stuff. There were three luggage bags, laptop, hand luggage and guitar. The extra baggage had garnered some extra cost, but everything in his life were in those bags.
One thing Morgan did know, was that he wanted sleep and after that, he was going to see Amber. That was as far as his course of action had been planned, but there was also going to be a time that he would have to go to the admin office and sort out his schedule and such. Morgan seated himself on the front steps after paying the cabby and waited for someone to appear.

Trey was walking around with swagger, carrying his black Adidas drawstring backpack containing his cleats from football practice, a water bottle, and his dorm room keys on his back. Even though the air was beginning to chill as the season changed from fall to winter, he was still wearing his black mesh basketball shorts - Trey was still hot from football practice.
As he got closer to the person a few feet in front of him, he could tell the guy was new. And not from his bags - Trey knew a new kid when he saw one.
"You a noob?" he asked, being blunt even though he already knew the answer to his own question.

Morgan had decided that maybe he did need to search for his forms, and the most logical place would be his hand luggage. Unzipping the bag, he found various folders, all of them pertaining to his horse. Knowing him, his horse took over most of his life, and then his own life took a back seat to that of his horse. He went through the papers, hoping that maybe his own stuff would be in there. Insurance forms, quarantine certificates from Wales, the ones from the American vets, stabling forms from the Varsity and the list just went on and on.
Morgan didn't notice the other guy close to him, until the man spoke to him. Raising an eyebrow, he gave the male a quick glance over. You a jock? he retorted, his Welsh vocals accented the words, making it even more known that he was new, or a noob, according to the person opposite him. |

Trey looked off into the distance and squinted a bit, as if in deep thought. "I mean, if you consider playing football and lacrosse makes you a jock, then sure," he said in his deep voice. And I'm on the equestrian team, Trey thought. He often did not talk about the fact that he was on the equestrian team. His father forced him to do it, so he wasn't very serious about it. After all, he was only on the JV level.
He shoved his hands into his pockets. The cold air was starting to get to him. The only thing that he was wearing to keep him warm was his XU football hoodie.
"So do you need help with anything?" he asked, being genuinely friendly.

The cold wasn't getting to him so much. He had come from a place where cold was something that one got used to, so he was just wearing a light sweater and jeans with converse trainers. I'm just trying to find my forms, but if you can help me find which dorm I'm in, then it's a great help, he said, thankful that someone was helping him. Usually would hunt down emails, but he his laptop battery was flat and he still needed to switch to a local service provider. Morgan's main priority had been Amber and still was, because as soon as his bags were put in a room, he would be going down to the barns and fussing over the mare.
I'm Morgan Lake, he introduced himself, standing up and dusting himself off. His Welsh vocals sounded off in the environment that he was in, but he was also standing out because of them. Talk like thisTagged! Trey

Trey nodded his head and outstretched his arm. " Trey Jaeger. Hope you like it here. There's some pretty awesome parties," he said with a mischievous smile. "Actually, there's one coming up soon. Me and my sister are going - you're probably cool enough to go. Not that I'm judging you, the frat house that's holding the party probably will be though. Follow me," he said, heading off in the direction of the dorm rooms.
Trey wasn't in the fraternity, but they still held parties open to the school to come to in an attempt to recruit more members.

Sounds like fun, Morgan said, returning the mischievous smile. It honestly did sound like fun and he didn't know the last time he had actually attended a good party. There was his farewell one, two days ago, but that really didn't count as much because he had shown some sort of restraint. Flying with a hangover was not fun as he learned when he flew from Australia to London. He really wasn't into the whole Fraternity thing, but where there was a party, there was Morgan.
Morgan got up and followed Trey, already feeling the part of new student disappearing rather quickly. He carried the bags with practised ease and only bulky item was his acoustic guitar, which had thankfully survived the flight over. He had seen musical instruments after a flight in the hold and it had not been pretty sight.

"What's nice about having parties on campus is you don't have to worry about driving anywhere afterwards," he said, alluding to getting drunk.
Trey was feeling generous today, and felt a little pity for the new guy. "Do you want me to carry one of your bags or something?" he offered politely as he neared the dorm building. He quickly checked out a tall blonde girl that walked past him as he continued towards the building.
