"Alright, so what's your schedule like?" Danielle asked Amy and Anna. There were on their way to the University and Anna was driving.
"Well, I have my architecture meeting at 10am. What about you?"
Danielle groaned. "I think I have mine at the same time." She looked at the schedule, "Yep, Pre-Law, 10am and 101 ESCS building. Now, all I have to do is find out where it is."
"Look at the map," Anna ordered. "If we can figure out where it's at, I can drop you off before I go to my meeting."
"Yeah, that's if you find yours," Danielle replied.
"What time is your meeting?" Anna asked Amy.
Amy looked at her pad. "My engineering meeting is at 11am."
"Are you sure it's 11am, because with the chicken scratches you call your handwriting, I doubt you'd be able to understand it," Anna teased.
"Har-de-ha-ha," Amy replied sarcatically. "It's at 11am at 231 EECS building." Amy looked at her watch, "really ladies, remind me why I had to get here an hour early?"
"Because you failed your driving test for the third time?" Danielle humorously pointed out.
"Yeah... it's all coming back to me now," Amy grumbled.
Danielle and Amy looked into each other's eyes and as if on cue, broke into song.
"When I touch you like this, and I hold you like that, it's so hard to believe but it's all coming back to me now..." They immediately fell into a fit of giggles after singing the Celine Dion classic out of tune.
Anna grimaced. "I thought you guys would have grown out of this by now. You really don't have to sing every time you hear anything that's identical to a lyric in a song you know."
"Yeah, we know, but it's fun!" Danielle replied with glee. "And speaking of fun, where's your boy toy today?" she asked Amy. "Oh, I forgot, he still has a couple of years to go," she said playfully.
"And, where's your boyfriend?" Amy replied, "Oh, I forgot," she said, mimicking Danielle's gesture of putting her hand on her mouth, "you don't have one."
Anna laughed, "good one."
"Whatever, it's by choice," Danielle confirmed.
"Sure..." Amy and Anna said in unison.
"Anyway, what's the plan?" Danielle asked.
"Well, I was thinking that Amy can hang out with one of us for our meetings then the three of us can go to hers; have lunch at noon and go on the tour of the University afterwards. Danielle, check the schedule. I think there's one at 12:30 and another at 1:30."
Danielle looked at it and confirmed it. Because Amy's classroom was much closer to Danielle's she went to the Pre-law meeting and Anna joined them later.
At noon they went to the cafeteria for the complimentary lunch. It seemed like the entire high school population of Pittsburgh was there because the line was unbelievably long.
"Ladies, is this worth it?" Amy asked them.
"What do you suggest? I am starving," Danielle asked.
"I saw a McDonald's..."
"Hell no. Didn't you see that Dateline study on NBC? They found mouse droppings and everything. Can we say ewww?"
Amy jumped up in glee. "Oh, my God, Danielle, you heard that didn't you? She just said 'ewww.'"
"So what?" Danielle replied uninterested.
It appeared Amy's bubble had been burst because she rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.
Anna laughed in victory and stuck her tongue at her.
"Whatever, Valley Girl," Amy countered, unimpressed.
"Were you in my orientation class this morning?" A voice behind her asked. Anna turned around to see a tall, dark haired cute guy in rimless glasses smiling at her.
"He's your type," Amy discreetly whispered in her ear. Anna ignored her.
"Which class would that be?" Anna asked him.
"Pre-med?"
"Probably not."
He laughed, "Well, that's good, considering I was not there either."
"I'm confused," Anna look at him skeptically. She was beginning to hope that he was not the prime example of boys at Carnegie-Mellon. If he was, Berkeley was beginning to look better than ever.
"You look like a pre-med student so I figured that I'll try my luck."
"Oh...," Anna replied flattered. "Is this how college boys pick girls up?"
"I wouldn't know - unless you consider AP college, I am yet to have the experience."
"Oh O.K.," Anna said before she turned back to her friends.
"So, what are you here for?"
Anna turned back to him. "You are awfully chatty for an almost-college boy stranger-type."
"No, I am just lonely." Anna was a little taken aback and it showed on her face. "No, I came here all alone but they say college is about making friends, so I decided to make friends with the beautiful girl standing in front of me."
Anna blushed. "Smooth, aren't we?"
"I try."
Anna was enjoying the banter so she decided to continue. "So, what are you here for?"
"Graphic Design early orientation. Actually, more like the Art and Architecture orientation, but graphic design is going to be my major."
"So, your summer is so terrible that you decide to take days out of it to have orientation? What about orientation when you actually get to school?"
"Because, I can choose a room early, choose a roommate and besides, the late orientation is mainly for foreign students and other people that live far away."
"I see."
"So, you're obviously not a here for orientation..."
"I guess you can gather that much. Actually ..."
"Anna, it's your turn," Amy interrupted to informed her.
"Thanks," she said gratefully, picking up a tray.
"So, Anna, pretty name, by the way, would it be O.K for me to join you and your friends for lunch today? Greasy pizza should not be eaten alone," he said authoritatively. Anna was intrigued by him so she asked the rest of the gang and they agreed to it.
