Austin wondered around the campus completely lost, it was only his third day and he still didn't know where anything was and it was frustrated. He was just frustrated, his mother wanted to move here so he can be close to his dad, and maybe even meet his brothers eventually. He dropped his books on a table outside taking out a water bottle taking a sip, he just missed home. Sure he wanted to meet his brothers, but they didn't even know about him probably. What if they didn't like him? What if they got angry? What if he ruined everything he had with his father? He groaned opening up one of school maps that he was given, "Now to find where the dorm rooms are...again." he said studying the map glancing up every now and then to figure out where he was on the map.

Elizabeth walked through the courtyard, a water bottle in hand. Her breathing was heavy, and her body sweaty from running around the track. It was a typical daily routine for her since she was sevens years old. Her mother was a fitness buff that always stressed the importance of staying in great shape. Once Elizabeth turned twelve, and her mother noticed her fascination in becoming a model, she had only pushed more for her daughter to remain healthy. Some parents would have called her technique a bit harsh, but her mother simply saw it as her helping her daughter fulfill her dream. So every morning Elizabeth went to the gym and would take a jog around the track after wards to kind of cool down.
She opened up the bottle, taking a big drink as she decided to rest on a nearby bench.
Elizabeth looked over to see a guy at a table close to her, who looked completely lost. Well, she couldn't watch a cutie like him be completely lost out of his mind, could she?
"Hey!" She greeted, twisting the cap onto her bottle. "Do you need any help?"

Austin looked up hearing a voice, seeing a girl talking to him, and she was wow hot. He looked around him to check and make sure she was actually talking to him and not someone else. That would have been really embarrassing. Once he looked back to her he could feel his face getting flushed with embarrassment, he felt stupid. "Hey...and um yeah a lot of help." he said with a nervous laugh. "I've only been here three days, and well I'm still really lost about how to get around here." he told her putting down the map feeling a bit nervous to talk to a girl as pretty as she was. He hasn't really talked to girls besides the one he had at home, she was amazing. He honestly thought she was the one, but turns out she didn't think so, and dumped him for some other guy who would have sex with her. Austin wasn't the type of guy to just have sex, in fact he was still a virgin, he wanted to lose it to someone special, not just to any girl. He ruffled his hair a bit giving her a small smile hoping she would be able to help him.

Elizabeth got up with a little nod, making her way over to him. When she got closer, and was able to get a better look, she noticed just how cute he was. He was the kind of guy that was super hot, but still managed to have that boyish cuteness that made you want to pinch his cheeks. "Where are you try to get to?" She asked, tilting her head to the side a little bit as she fiddled around with her pony tail. Elizabeth wasn't usually the type of girl to start up conversations with people, but with how lost she appeared to be, it seemed worth stepping out of her comfort zone to help someone in need. "Oh! How rude of me. I'm Elizabeth, by the way."

"Well, I've been trying to get back to my dorm room for the past hour, and I've really just been going around in circles for an hour." Austin said laughing rubbing the back of his neck looking around the campus and then back to her. "Austin, nice to meet you Elizabeth...that's a nice name." he said smiling to her. "You don't hear people actually saying their full name these days, always Liz, Izzy, Beth...yeah." he said stopping himself realizing he was rambling on. Great. He felt himself blush again looking away from her, "Sorry about that..." he said laughing nervously again. Damn Austin! Pull your act together, it's a girl, a very pretty one but still a girl you can talk to girls normally!

Elizabeth giggled a little bit, shaking her head at his ramblings. "It's perfectly fine, don't apologize," she said, giving him a gentle smile. She couldn't help but find it rather adorable how easily flustered he was. It was almost like he had never even talked to a girl before.
"And it's great to meet you, Austin," She said, holding her friend hand out to him.
It was actually rather amazing how many people got lost looking for the dorm rooms. They were well-marked, but she could see how being in a new place could make people look over details. "The dorm rooms are actually a little bit down this path, just past the cafe. I was actually just on my way there. So if you want to follow me?"

Austin started to feel at ease a little bit when she said it was alright, you'll be alright Austin don't have a heart attack. "It's great to meet you as well, Elizabeth." he said taking her hand carefully shaking it. He hoped she didn't mind his rough hands, he always liked to do hard labor even if it meant blisters by the end of the day. He looked down the path where the dorms we supposedly were. "Oh...well I'm sure I've past there at least a dozen times today, and didn't know they were there." he said with a small laugh standing up from his spot. Gathering his books and checked his pocket for his room key, "Room 111." he said nodding. "Yeah..that would be great, don't want to get lost again." he said kidding. Making sure he had everything and didn't leave anything behind he turned to look at her, "Lead the way ma'am." he said giving her a warming bright smile of his.

Elizabeth looked a little shocked at how rough his hands were, but it didn't really bother her. Just surprising. "Hard worker, I'm guessing?" she asked with a little smile when she released his hand. She couldn't really say she was much of a hard worker herself. Working out, she did did. But actually having to do physical labor? Never in her life had she had to work.
"111? Then you're on the first floor," She said with a little smile, watching as he gathered all of his things up before she turned to head in the direction of the dorm rooms. "So how have you been making it around so far? Have you even managed to find your classes?" she said, teasing him a little bit.

"Yes ma'am. Momma thinks me doing hard labor helps relive some stress and anger, and it's just good to do." he told her. "Used to live on a farm, so I was left to do a lot of the hard work." he told her smiling at her question. "Well the first day was pretty bad...and well the second day wasn't that bad. It's just a lot to get used to. But lucky me, my classes are around the same area, so it helps me out a bit." he said nodding moving forward to walk right next to her as she showed him his dorm room. "How long have you been here? Enough to see you far share of lost boys around the campus?" he asked laughing lightly.

Elizabeth giggled a little bit. There was just something about farm boys that was utterly adorable. They were always polite, and the southern accents were simply amazing. "So a good little country boy, huh? What are you doing all the way out here?" she asked, curiously. It was so weird how people from the south just loved to dump there kids in California to go to school.
She lead him into the building that held all the dorms, stopping all the way back at dorm 111. "Here you are," she said with a little smile, nodding at his question. "I'm a Junior now, so I've been here for three years. And you are definitely not the first lost boy I've run into. There's about twelve of you every semester."

Austin got out his dorm key opening the door, seeing his room mate wasn't here putting his stuff inside on his desk. "Oh well...it's kinda long story but I'll give you the short part. I'm here too meet my two older brothers, they kinda don't know about me. Their father had an affair with my mother, and well here I am. Momma didn't want me to be too far away from my dad." he told her with a small shrug. Smiling Austin nodded, "Well I feel bad for you. But thanks for showing me my room and stuff. I must make it up to you some way." he said raising his brows slightly an idea coming to mind, but he wasn't sure she would be to fond of it.

Elizabeth looked a little surprised at his explanation for why he was here. "Oh wow! Do you even know what they look like? Or their names?" She asked, curiously. It seemed like an odd and somewhat awkward situation he was in. How would someone go about telling a complete stranger that they are related it to someone? It's not like you could just go up to someone and say; 'Hey, our parents got it on and made me!'. Yeah, that was just odd.
"Don't feel bad. I don't mind show people around," she added with a little smile. She watched as his eyebrows raised, her look growing curious. "What?"

Austin nodded, "Yes, I know what they look like, and their names. Our dad told me all about them...I just never got to meet them. I don't know how to tell them though." he said with a small frown not really thinking everything through yet. He ignored it, and focus back on her a smile playing on his lips, "Well it's a way to repay you for helping me...but you'll just have to trust me on it. Are you free tonight by any chance?" he asked her knowing exactly what he would do for her, which he hasn't done for anyone else here but then again he didn't really know anyone else her besides his room mate.

Elizabeth nodded a little bit. "Well, if you need any help brainstorming how to break it to them, I could help? Though I would be really blunt about the entire thing," she said, giving him a smile. Her curiosity grew as he then moved on to asking her whether she was free that night. It was kind of odd to be going off and doing god knows what with someone she didn't even know, but she'd play along. "Yeah, I'm free," she said, slowly. "Why?"

Austin nodded, "Yeah I might have to, but I mean I don't want them to get mad at their father...then it's just going to be weird. Like what if they aren't friendly and don't like me?" he asked looking down at his feet before smiling hearing she was free for tonight. "Well if it's alright I'd like to take you somewhere to show you something...I'm not trying to um be weird...it's just..." he trailed off blushing. "I think you'll like it." he said clearing his throat shuffling his feet slightly. "I mean you don't need to go I'll understand we just met like five minutes ago." he said laughing before adding, "But then by tonight I would have known you for a few more hours so it wouldn't be that weird would it?"

Elizabeth shrugged. "Unfortunately, I don't think them getting mad at their dad can be avoided," she said, though she felt bad saying it. She didn't want him to suddenly feel like he was doing the wrong thing. "But I'm sure they will love you. You seem like a really sweet guy," she said with a little smile, giving him a little pat on the shoulder. Elizabeth noticed his blush, knowing that she had to go. She would feel completely horrid if she turned the poor guy down just because she didn't know him. "I would love to go with you, hun. I actually need to go shower and meet up with one of my friends, though. But do you want me to meet you here tonight?"

Austin nodded, "Yeah...well I guess I'll just have to wait and see." he said with a small smile to reassure her it was alright. "Oh yeah that's fine...do what you need to do. I'll be here probably catching up on some homework." he told her looking over at his books, dreading it but knew it had to be done. If he didn't do well here, his momma wouldn't let him stay and he wanted to stay here. "Oh try and be here before sunset, or else you won't be able to see the surprise." he told her smiling rubbing the back of his neck. "Nice to meet you Elizabeth I'll be glad to see you later on today." he said smiling to her.

>>>FAST FORWARD>>TIME WARP>>WHATNOT>>
Elizabeth walked down the steps, her phone in hand. She felt a thousand times better after having taken her shower and was now wearing real clothes, not her work out clothes. She had gone for a pair of shorts with a flowing blue top that showed her stomach ever so slightly when she put her arms up. Elizabeth didn't dress like a slut, but she did show a tad bit more skin than your average girl. It was all merely due to her being comfortable, and proud, of her figure.
She went down to the boys' dorm section, ignoring any prying eyes or women sneaking in and out of the dorm rooms. Well, sunset was nearing, so hall the monitors weren't out yet. Elizabeth stopped at Austin's door, giving it a little knock. She prayed to herself that he was actually in there.

Austin had finished his homework, not taking that long at all to complete, he ended up with some free time on his hands to wonder around the campus but made sure to stick close by before he got lost. This was a nice place, he was slowly getting used to it he just hoped he would make some new friends so, kinda boring being by yourself a lot of the time. He checked his watch and saw that the sun was almost setting, it was almost time Elizabeth should be showing up at his door ready to go.
Going back to his room Austin didn't need to change, he was still wearing a pair of jeans, and a button down shirt from earlier today. He hoped he didn't smell that much, but just incase he sprayed some cologne on him making sure it wasn't too much. He was about to sit on his bed when he heard a knock at his door, great timing. Opening the door Austin smiled grabbing his keys to his truck, "Hey there. Ready to go?" he asked quickly grabbing one of his sweatshirts seeing she didn't bring any, and it might get cold after the sun went down. It was his own fault not telling her what to wear or where they were going. Closing the door behind him he gave Elizabeth a smile holding out his arm to her to walk her to his car. "Have fun with your friend?" he asked trying to make small talk while walking to his truck.

Elizabeth's eyes lit up as Austin opened the door, happy to see that it was him and not his roommate. This would totally be a awkward way to meet anyone new. "Hey!" She said with a genuine smile, immediately noticing the smell of his cologne.
Oh. My. God. He smelt amazing. Would it be creepy for her to say anything about it? She immediately decided that it would be creepy, so she put that aside.
"And yeah, I'm ready. Where are we heading off to again?" She asked, looping her arm around his and following close to his side. She ran her other hand through her hair, looking out over the campus. "Not really. We went swimming for a little bit, but then she ran into some dude she knew and completely ditched me. So I just spent the rest of the time getting ready." She said, rolling her eyes a little. She was still really irritated about how 'girl time' went today. "Anyways, enough about my day. How did your day go?"
