Welcome to Gaia! ::

"How related?" Zack asked, curious on how close related she meant. He was in slight shock himself.

Zack grabbed the certificates out of Matthew's hands and looked at them closely, they were real and genuine. He was in shock. "No f**king way," he said softly to himself. He wondered why Maddy hadn't known anything about it.

Clara jutted her jaw out slightly. It was a peculiar expression unique to her. On most people it would indicate detirmingation, but on Clara, it told anyone who knew her that she was worried. It was not an attractive look, in fact some would say that it made her look simply ugly.

She strained to pick up her bags and dragged them inside, she looked pathetic trying to carry both of the huge rucksacks, and she panted trying to make it to her room. She had been promised a room by herself, and she was unbelievably thankful for that. She had never shared with anyone in her life and she couldn't imagine doing so. Someone hearing everything you did, someone to know what you did as you slept, whether or not you snored, or talked, or walked. Her jaw jutted out slightly even at the thought of it. As long as she was left to her self, this place might not be too bad, she hadn't even noticed a single person yet...

She made her way slowly to the lady at the desk and built up the courage to talk to her. "Um, you have ... Clara, my name is C. Jones ... the key, you have my key, i think?"
"Of course, yes, Clara, let me just," Se rummaged through a stack of enveloped, "Here we are, Clara Marie Jones, that's right isn't it. Now, if you just sign here, thank you. You'll be staying in room 3, oh, one second let me just check that." She glanced at a sheet beside her hand, "No, that's wrong, there's been a slight change, you're in room two, sharing with a lad named Matthew. So, this is your key," She gave Clara a new envelope, "there's a small map on the envelope, you'll be fine dear, don't look so concerned."
Clara nodded frantically, her head was throbbing, she would be staying with a boy, she would be staying with a boy, she would be staying with a boy,
She tried to calm her breathing as she walked away, she began to put in place the techniques she had learned. She recited each of the pythogorean identities in her head trying to distract herself. It was in a total daze she found the room. She put the key in and turned it, with out even realising that actually she had locked it by accident. She pushed the handle down again, but the door wouldn't open. She frantically rattled it, but nothing happened and she stared at it in shock. her throat felt raw and she began to flex and unflex her hands. She took another deep breath, and tried turning the key once more, this time, the dorr opened smoothly and she was able to step into her new room.

Clara stared wide eyed at the pulsing ball of energy in front of her, it appeared to be in a male human form. She was actually able to smile slightly at that thought. She stared at him taking in the restlessness, his obvious eagerness for life and she blinked slowly. To late, and too slow she replied, "Hi." Her voice was smalled, and low pitched, and her arms were wrapped around her torso defensivly. "There was a mistake, i have to stay with you, i don't know how it happened, they promised me, the promised me," her words were rushed and garbeled, and she moaned the last two words.

Finally she collected herself enough to focus on the present situation, "Which is my bed?"

Zack was pushed into a hold and thrown before a new person, almost like a ragdoll. He was still working the shock out of his system. His muscles tensed as he focused on the new girl. "Hello," he nodded to the girl as Matthew introduced him to her. He really was getting irritated with this energizer bunny, but he could deal with Matthew's hyperness for at least a little while longer.

Zack hugged her back, "Thank you, but you don't have to be sorry for him, it's not your fault," It's his, he said and thought, holding his tongue on the last part. He was her twin now, so he had to be polite to him, even if he was more energetic than electricity. He kissed her lightly, "I love you, so I'll put up with him. Just don't ask me to go anywhere alone with him, okay?" he chuckled slightly after saying this. It was a perfectly true statement, so true it was funny. He smiled at his love.

Clara noticed the others even through her shock, and she saw that they too were wary of Matthew. But they had run off before she had even gathered her tongue to speak, so she was left, feeling stupid, muttering after them, "Hi...". She felt like her neck had been oiled, it wheeled so fast around to speak again to Matthew, she was terrified that he would creep up behind her, or start jumping all over the place if she looked away for even a second.
"I'll take this one, it's fine, i like the sun ... wakes me up." She could feel herself beginning to shake, why did they may her share a room?! This was like her own personal hell, she hated having to spend time with people, she hated meeting strangers, she hated being around energetic people, but most of all she hated being impolite, so how on the earth could she turn down their offer of the funfair, never mind ask for a new room. A room where she could right now take out a book and sit calmly and quietly and begin to read.
She forced her lips into a smile, should could feel them shudder with the effort, "Um, of course i'll go, thank you so much for your invitation. Your twin seems lovely, as does her boyfriend, did they come here together?"
