{A/N: As promised Delphine and Cosima}

"Meeting Dreads"

Delphine's POV:

I was being moved from my life so I could study a "subject". All I had was a picture and a tag, I wasn't even told her name. The whole plane ride over all I was doing was analyzing the polaroid in front of me. From what I saw I could only assume that she was the wild type with the piercings and the dreads but who knows I guess. Before I knew it I was off the plane and going to get my bags. After I got my bags I went to the hotel I was being put up in by Leekie. I went to read the profile I was supposed to have but then realized there was never one given to me. I think to myself should I really have agreed to this?

There was a letter left on the table at the side of the bed that said "Delphine" and inside it there was an address of a college given and it said be there at 9am in room 210, of course it was signed by Leekie…

Cosima's POV:

Wake n' Bake was the best thing possible to get me through this Monday morning. I still have no idea why I agreed to morning classes though…big mistake. Still half in a daze I got up showered, dressed, took care of my munchies and headed out. Walking into class I saw a new face today, it was kind of a different face that I had never seen anything like before. I tried to brush it off as I sat at my desk and started to do my work, partially on what I was supposed to be doing and partially trying to figure out what was going on with my...family…sisters….I don't know what to call them yet so let's just say Sarah and Alison for now.

All of a sudden I hear a phone ring and see 'her' pick it up, she speaks French, I'm impressed. I think I stared too long because she looked up at me like three times and I hadn't looked way at all. The girl seemed to be having an argument of some sort on the phone and tossed it on the desk when she hung up. She looked at me once more saying she was sorry for what I can only assume her thinking I was staring at her because she was too loud. Boy was she wrong. She got up and left the room in a hurry leaving something on her table behind so I walked over and looked at it.

Delphine's POV:

As I walked through the doors of the college I saw dreads walking in before me. That's what I decided to call her since I don't know her name yet. I didn't know where I was going exactly so I just followed her and hoped that she wasn't going anywhere before class because I noticed she was playing on her phone. As I walked into the class I think I finally got her attention. I guess none of the teachers knew about me because they were treating me just like any other student and actually making me do the work but I guess that was the point, to fit in. My phone rang and all I heard on the other side was a faint "go" from I don't even know who so I started, I was having a fake phone argument in the middle of a class and nobody but dreads was looking at me, I couldn't tell if she was annoyed or not but I caught her eyes three times. Now that that was over I was rushing out of the room to wait for her to come and give me what I 'accidentally left behind'.

As I wait in the hall I contemplate my next moves and if I should get really close really fast or give it time but am interrupted by a touch on the shoulder. I don't understand why for the life of me but SHE looks sorry but then I remember how much of a mess I must look like and gather my thoughts a bit.

Cosima's POV:

Walking out of the class I hear faint sobs and assume it's her. She's really tall and her legs are ni…'stop It Cosima you shouldn't be checking her out right now', is what I think as I mentally scorn myself. She turns around and messes with her hair looking me dead on and wiping her eyes saying sorry and she's not usually "like this". I give her the papers and admit bashfully that I did in fact look at them. "Your French and your grades are killer", 'wow way to point out the obvious Cosima I think she knows she's French already', again scorning myself. I try to recover by saying "bad break up?" as in is that why your crying "well we're an ocean apart" , 'wow her voice is beautiful', and I tell her long distance never works. We discus classes and at the end I finally get her name "Delphine", with an awesome smile too, damn.

Delphine's POV:

At this rate half way through our little conversation I figure it's now or never so why not just dive in. She looks like she's kind of struggling to keep the encounter going and I find it endearing so when I smile at her and tell her my name the smile I genuine. Now I thought that the nickname 'dreads' was pretty clever and all but once I heard her say her real name that was way more satisfying. Cosima, it has a ring to it doesn't it?
