Nathan sat in the limo in complete silence. Several 'escorts' were sitting across from him and he just stared at them. Nathans eyes showed no emotion what-so-ever. One of the men swallowed. He was obviously making them nervous. Inwardly he sighed, why does he have to have bodygaurds? He wasnt stupid like his parents and wasnt going to end up dead. Nathan remembered what the Big five Councel had said, you must have an escort at all times. We dont want to lose another owner. He inwardly sighed. Those idiots would just as soon have him killed then see him 'protected.' Al they wanted was the company, and if he bit the dust then they would get it. Or at least they thought. He had set it up so that if he died the company would go to someone else. someone he trusted with his life. In more than one way. Nathan averted his gaze as the limo pulled up to the school. He sighed when the door opened and stepped out. He took his Ipod out of his pocket and put the headphones in his ears. He turned it on and started listening to the hatred in me by Godhead. He started walking, his eyes nearly freezing anyone that aproached him. He'd have to admit, he could be a pretty scary guy when he wanted to. Nathan was wearing a plain white button up shirt, the top three buttons were undone and his shirt hung open nonchalontly. His pants were basic black jeans and his shoes were, well shoes. The men behind him carried his luggage and made the way to the room. Nathan took a long look around and smiled. Who was the weakest link?

Star continued down the hallway with Josh, heading through the west wing to get to the east. She passed a guy with a few bodyguards, and guessed who he was. She smiled at him as he passed, then continued on her way with Josh following behind her. Just as they were passing a corner, her father stopped her.
"Ah. Star." He said, then nodded his head to Josh.
"Yes, daddy?"
"Don't forget to make our.. special guest feel welcome." He said, referring to Nathan.
Star of course already knew that, though.
"I will." She said, nodding to him before continuing down the hall with Josh, who left with a glare to his father.

Nathan had managed to get the stiffs to leave him for a 'bathroom break' and had heard Star's father. Great, he wanted to be a normal kid and he got special guest. He was starting to think this wasnt going to work out. However, that Star girl... He smiled and turned off his Ipod. Turning around the corner he already had his strategy planned out. If he was right then her brother was the weaker link, and that ment he would befriend him first. He turned the corner and started after Star and Josh. He stopped and said, "Hello, I'm afraid I lost my guide and cannot find my way to the dorm." He held out his hand to be shaken and said, "My name is Nathan Graves. A pleasure to meet you both." Yeah, that works, go with the nice guy face. His once cold eyes and emotionless face were replaced by warm welcoming eyes and a friendly and warm smile that could melt a snowman.

Josh turned around first, smiling. Star reinacted his movements, smiling the same smile, only more genuine. Josh spoke first, "Hey. I'm Josh, this is Star." He said, pointing a casual finger at his sister.
Star lifted her hand for a wave. "Pleasure to meet you too. Josh, you coming with to show Nathan to his room?

Nathan blinked and lowered his hand. Was he behaving too formal? Oh well, no helping it now. He stood and waited for Josh to speak. While doinf so he quickly analized the two. Star was nicely dressed and seemed like the kind of person to chat away with a perfect stranger. Josh on the otherhand seemed more... reserved? He didnt seem to be the kind of person to get too uptight about things. Nathan decided that he liked them both and that he should try and see what trouble fun the could have.

"Yeahh." Josh said, sighing. He smiled again. "What's your dorm number?" Josh asked, sounding bored.
Star was practically jumping up and down now. Not because of who she was talking to, just that it was someone outside of her family.

Nathan smiled again and said, "I'm in room 202." He put his hands in his pockets and said, "It's kind of embarassing actually, to think I got lost at school. What would my parents say?" He laughed a little, but it almost seemed sad. Nathan turned and said, "Lead the way."

R.J. was on his way to the dance studio to practice when he saw a small group of students in the hall. Naturally, he stopped to talk. "Hey, Star. Hey Josh." Of course he knew the Walton kids. He'd been here for two years now. "What's going on?"
He eyed the other guy. "Nice to meet you, My name's R.J."

Nathan turned to face the newcomer and said, "A pleasure to meet you. My name is Nathan Graves." He looked this R.J. person up and down. He too seemed like a nice person. Nathan was beginig to wonder if everyone in this acursed school was a 'nice guy'.

"The pleasure's all mine, Nate." A grin blossomed on the boy's face. "I couldn't help but overhear that you're in 202. That's great; I'm in 102. Lemme know if you need directions or anything. Well, that is, when I'm not busy dancing.

Nathan cringed inwardly and said, "Please, call me Nathan." Really, if you wanted a nickname you could use the one his employee's used. Monster. He smiled and said, "I would greatly aprecieate it if you showed me the way to my dorm. I want to make sure my escorts are not arranging things in an unacceptable manner." He motioned down the hall and said, "If someone would be kind enough to escort me?"

"Hey." Star and Josh said in unsion together when R.J. appeared.
"So how is your dancing coming along, R.J.?" Josh asked, grinning.
Star cellphone made an abrubt ringing noise, and she excused herself to answer it. A strong line of curses and yelling came through, before Star even placed it to her ear. She left it in her hand for quite a while, then hung it up. "Sorry boys. Josh, ill see you later. Mom is pissed Im late for piano, so, later." She said, practically jogging off to the music room again, with so much as a wave around the corner to the other two who werent Josh.

"It's going well, Josh," said R.J. as he waved goodbye to Star. "Tell you what, why don't you take Nathan to his room, and I'll be in the practice room if you want to talk later. Okay, gotta run. Juliard doesn't take dancers who are out of practice. Later Josh; later Nathan." He set off for the studio.

Nathan blinked. He was getting passed around more than a soccer ball. He turned to Josh and said, "well, lets go." He put his hands in his pockets and waited for Josh to lead the way. He was wondering why it seemed that Star and Josh's father seemed to like Star more, mabye even dislike Josh. Wierd. Well, mabye that how it was when family's had more than one kid, they just loved one more than the other. Parents were so strange, almost made him glad his were dead. Almost.

Kiki looked about the room and smiled at her completed work: the room had now been Kiki-fied to her satisfactory. There were music (and some bunny) posters on the wall, the music stand in a corner, her violin case in a safe place, her jumbo bunny stuffed animal on the bed and figurines on the small shelf and on the desk. Yeah, she loved bunnies, so what?
She paced for a moment, not sure of just what to do next. Maybe look around the school and get some ideas on where things are? Brilliant! She grabbed her purse, saw that Cupcake was taking a nap, laid out the puppy training pad, and was out the door and going down the stairs of the dorm area. Time to explore, and she had to meet people sometime, right?
