Before they knew it, it was two hours later. They all went their separate ways except for Sam, Austin, Nicole and Paul.
They all went into the University and went to a desk to get their key to their dormitory. It was in the afternoon and most of the other students have already settled into their rooms. They each registered together. Sam and Nicole in one room and Austin and Paul in another. They weren't able to stay with the opposite sex and they were even separated into two different buildings.
It took them a few hours to help each other bring things into their rooms. It was getting near dinner time.
"So, do you all want to go to a restaurant together?" Nicole and Sam suggested.
"Maybe we should just go see what they have here in the cafeteria or the pub first." Paul said, hoping they would agree. He didn't have much money. He worked so hard to get every single penny he could just to make it to Princeton. His budget would be tight from here until he graduated.
"Yeah, we'll have a feel for the student life here on campus." Austin agreed with Paul.
"Alright," said the girls. "We'll have to go sometime soon though."
They all walked to the main building on campus. There were so many students it was really overwhelming for all of them. They haven't seen so many people. There was more then the population of the town they all came from.
That's one thing that brought this group together so nicely. They had a lot in common. They all lived in small towns, they had the same interests, they worked hard for where they are now.
They went and got their dinner and sat at the only table available that they saw. The table where Shelby was at.
"Can we sit here?" Asked Austin.
Sam and Austin both knew that if Austin weren't around, Shelby would be rude to them.
"Sure, have a seat." Shelby said politely.
Shelby wasn't as mean as people made her out to be. She did however hold a grudge on Sam for stealing Austin away from her. Although, Shelby was all around a nice person, most of the time.
"I'll introduce you to everyone." Shelby said then pointing the left. "Over here we have, Paige, Nancy, Heather and Tanya. And to the right, we have Lee-Anna and Julia. Everyone this is Austin, Sam, Nicole and Paul."
They all sat down and continued the conversation they were having out on the lawn earlier that afternoon.
"So I heard there was a party tonight in the dorms." Lee-Anna said. "You all going to come party too?"
"I didn't hear about it until now." said Nicole.
"You guys don't want to be boring and stay in your rooms all the time do you?" Heather asked.
"We'll be there." Said Austin.
"All of you?" Heather asked again.
Sam looked at Paul and Nicole briefly, "All of us."
