I walked into the cafe and ordered a berry smoothie. I sat down near the window and sipped it, wondering if I would ever fit in here. Normally, I wouldn't care, but I felt like the odd one out here - which I couldn't stand - and I needed to get to the top. Or at least near the top.

Lesley Verdia
I half tripped, half walked into the cafe, apparently making a nice entrance. Everyone turned to look at me, my face turned into a strawberry and I let the door fall behind me, the chime of the bell was the only sound, and I walked forward, everybody started talking again. great. Nice way to meet people..... I thought and bit my lip as I approached the counter. "Can I take an ice coffee?" I asked handing the barrista my Canterwood Crest card. She nodded and swiped the card asking me my name. "Lesley." I told her, and she nodded handing me back my card before shouting orders to someone in the back. I stepped aside smoothed my purple tank top over my dark brown breeches, my heather gray cardigan falling over my hands. I had just come from the stables, and I needed something with ice to cool me down, but also hype me up....coffee. "Lesley?!" I heard the Barrista call my name and I stepped forward, thanking her as I retrieved my plastic cup. "Thanks." I muttered and turned around to look for a seat.

Glancing up when I saw the girl trip into the cafe, jarring me out of my thoughts, I couldn't help but smile a little. Back home, I would've laughed her out of the cafe, but now, thinking of who I was, I felt bad. I looked over, noticing her just got her drink, I half smiled at her, deciding if I would invite her to sit with me or not.

I bit my lip, looking around, all the booths seamed to be taken, people talking in long taken conversations, everyone filled the tables too. Not an empty boot, or table anywhere I walked forward a step my black tall boots not making a sound for once. I finally found someone sitting alone. But I think he was waiting for someone.....only one way to find out....I walked towards him and thought up what I was going to say. 'Do you mind if I sit here?' was too bland, I wanted to say something new. Like 'Please tell me your not waiting for someone.'

She walked over and I kept up my weak smile. "You okay?" I asked, referring to her trip.

I nodded. "Yeah. Like everyone says, it takes skill to trip on flat surfaces. Apparently I have a lot of skill." I laughed "Please tell me your not waiting for someone? I really don't feel like tripping all the way back to my dorm." I said with a smile.

I smiled. "Thanks." I said plopping down in the booth. "I'm Lesley by the way." I said stretching out my right hand. My silver charm bracelet jingled as my 'horse shoe' 'camera' and horse head banged together.

I shook my head and sipped my coffee. "This is my second year." I responded. "You?"

"First month," I smiled, taking a drink of my smoothie.

I nodded. "What classes are you in? I think I might have seen you around before." I said thinking back to mine.

"Just the basics. No honors classes or anything," I answered, not really wanting to remember all of them.

I nooed. "Ah. I only have two classes that aren't honors." I whispered. "Maybe I just saw you around the Cafeteria or something." I said
