A young female and male bumped into each other in the hallway by the bullontion board in the main building of Eastland acemdy.

"Oh excuess me. I am sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." the female said with an blush.

"No no. It's my fault." the male said. "Hey my name is Collins. And yours?" Collins stuck out his right hand.

The female stuck out her right hand and put it out in Collins hand "My name is Rosey. Rosey Kenzi O'Donnell. I'm an freshman. I am an new transfer to Eastland." She said in a rush.

"Pleased to meet you Rosey. Collins Phillip McKenzie the fourth. I'm an freshman myself." Collins said as he stook Rosey's hands. Letting go of her hand he stuffed his hands into his pants pockets. "Where did you transfer from?"

Rosey let her right hand drop to her side. "From Sky River high school. It's a public school. This is the first time I have never been in boarding school."

Collins smiled "Sky River is that in New York?"

Rosey shook her head. "No Sky River is in North Dakota. Matter of fact I was born and raised in North Dakota. I have never been arther than South Dakota; until now."

"New York is great. Peekskill is an very nice place to live. Plus whenever you want and get permisson to go into the city it is only a train ride away." Collins said. "I was born and raised in New York myself. Mattalhaton matter of fact."

"That's nice..." Rosey started to say.

"Hey Collins!" a male voice interttiputed Rosey.



Collins turned his head and said "Hey Brain. Come here and meet someone."

Brain walked up and stopped beside Collins. He turned to
Rosey. "Brain Matthew Cooper. Pleased to meet you."

"Rosey Kenzi O'Donnell. It is an pleasure to meet you Brain." Rosey said as she looked shyly at Brain.

They both put out their right hands together and laughed as they shook hands.

"What has my buddy here been telling you." Brain asked without letting go of Rosey's hand.

Rosey didn't seem to notice that her hand was still in Brain's. "About how I come from North Dakota and he comes from here in New York. About how this is my first time in boarding school and first time furture away from South Dakota myself."

"Cool. I'm from Colorda Springs; Colorda myself." Brain said.

"Hey Brain isn't it time for baseball practice?" Collins said. He didn't like the way Brain still held Rosey's hand.

Brain said disappointed "Yea you'll right Collins. We do have to jet to baseball practice. It was great to meet you Rosey. I'll see you around. Maybe at dinner tonight?" he said as he looked into her eyes hopefully.

Rosey nooded. "Yea I'll meet you for dinner. You two Collins." She turned her head to Collins.

Collins nooded.

Brain and Rosey relcutly let go of each other hands.

"See you later Rosey." Collins said as he started to walk away.

"Yea see you later Rosey." Brain said as he relcutly turned to follow his friend.

"See you two at dinner." Rosey said.



"Swim Team, basket ball team, vollyball team, baseball team, soccor team, gymantics.... enough with the sports. Time to look at the clubs.

Outdoor club, photo club, writing club, arts and craft club, advanture club ...." Rosey mused out loud to herself softly.

"Gymantics is the way to go." a female voice said behind Rosey.

Rosey turned and saw a girl maybe a year older than herself. "Hello my name is Rosey O'Donnell."

"Greta Hope Cooper." Greta said.

"Is your brother Brain?" Rosey asked.

Greta nooded "I see you met my little brother. You'll new here right?"

Rosey nodded.

Greta smiled. "Have you meet Miss. Warner yet?"

Rosey nodded. "Yea just a half another ago. She directed me to the bulltion board to see what clubs and teams are avilible here at Eastland."

Greta smiled. "Like I said Gymantics is the way to go. So is the advanture, outdoor clubs."

Rosey nodded. "I have to think about it. Plus I have to get better aquainted with everything before I join a team or club."

"Good idea. Hey want to go meet some of my friends?" Greta asked.

"Sure. That would be great." Rosey sounding please that this girl would like to hang out with her.

Greta and Rosey started to walk away from the bulltion board.



"Dublin this Rosey O'Donnell. She is an new freshman transfer student." Greta told her best friend as she and Rosey meet up with Dublin out in quard.

Dublin smiled. "Hello Rosey. As you know my first name is Dublin; my middle name is Faith and my last name Liverpool."

"Dublin and Liverpool what lovely names." Rosey said shyly.

"I'm from Ireland. Northern Irleand to be more exact." Dublin.

"I would love to go to Ireland. I have never been aboard." Rosey said.

"If you ever get to Northern Ireland I'll show you around." Dublin said. "So what are you two doing?"

"I am showing Rosey around Eastland. Get her a good feel of the place." Greta said. "What to join us.

Dublin shook her head sadly "No I am sorry but I have to go and have a meeting with Miss. Warner." she picked up her backpack from where she set it on the grass by her feet.

"Oh good luck with Miss. Warner." Greta said. "Catch you later?"

"Yea in a few hours at least." Dublin said. "Nice to meet you Rosey. See you around." She waved and walked away.
