“Ugh!” Emma said to herself, standing out side what she thought was her room. She must of looked stupid, with all her yard stuff on. Great first impression. At least she wasn’t dirty, at least on too dirty. She had just dragged her bags up the stairs, having been abandoned by her father, who seemed more interested in her two horses than herself. That what she felt. But It wasn’t true, in truth her dad was trying to help her out. She normally would know that, she just didn’t like moving. She was going to have to share her room. She wondered what her new roommate would be like.

She unlocked the door and peeked in. None of the beds had been taken yet. There was one by the window. “The best bed.” She thought.
She ran over the bed, as though it was a race and another Pearson was trying to get it first. She took a huge lead and jumped onto it. She lay there for a moment, almost loosing herself, relaxing… But no. She had 7unpacking to do. She pushed herself up and looked to the door, where all her luggage stood. She stood up, groaning… Unpacking…
She grabbed one of the smaller bags & threw it onto her bed. That’s what she called it now. Her bed.
She walked out and sighed, looking down the hallway to see if her dad had come to help her. She could do with a hand right now…

`` `` `` Meredith pulled up in her F48S09. Hopping out, she slammed the door shut, walking towards her dorm room, she knocked on the door, something she'd always done to see if she had any roommates, before testing the handle, which was unlocked, for the first time. Pushing the door open, she saw an unfamiliar face. Smiling, she spoke through the silence, "Hi." she said happily, "Want some help?" she asked. Walking across the room after closing the door. Kneeling down by the bed, she lifted the bedskirt up, pulling out her belongings, she'd always kept her stuff hidden so that any roommates of hers that might have showed up, could help themselves to whichever bed they preferred. Meredith hadn't ever really cared where she slept, since her eyes would obviously be closed while she was sleeping. Picking her things up, she moved it to a canopy bed across the room. Dropping her things on the new bed, she turned around, sighing inwardly, a smile on her face. "What can I do?" she offered. "Oh, sorry....I'm Meredith." she introduced.
ooc|ugh...terrible post, sorry

“Oh, I’m Emma.” Emma replied. She put her hands in her pockets, smiling. She looked down at her yard clothes, almost a bit embarrassed. “I take it this was you’re bed? Sorry…” She grinned, feeling bad. “Yeah, I’ve just arrived. How about you?” She looked around the room, thinking that she should let her have her bed back. “Look, I’m sorry about the bed thing…” She giggled “I just though it was empty. I’ll move if you want.” She stepped aside and began taking her things off the bed.

`` `` `` Meredith rolled her eyes, smiling. "Nah! Dun'worry about it." she said. "It's unnecessary." she shrugged her shoulders. Looking back up to Emma, she answered her question. "Oh...." she calculated, sighing inwardly again. "I got her freshman year in highschool, when I graduated I went back home and concentrated on college, visited Spain to look for a good Andalusian greenie." she told. "Came back with an Andalusian, Paso-fino cross. He's a work in progress. I'm looking for some other horse to work with now....." she recited. "I'm assuming you have horses?" she said, making her assumption. Helping herself to Emma's belongings, she began folding clothing items to put away in the closet. Walking back to her nightstand, she pulled out her iPhone, inserting it into her iHome, scrolling until she found her favorite song. Decode by Paramore. I was actually released worldwide yet. Mere had a guy-friend back home who had connections to music records and industries. So he was always sending her unreleased music. "So," she started to asked Emma. "This is going to sound really strange, but.....how tall are you?" she questioned awkwardly. "I ask everyone that question. Being 5 foot, I'm still trying to find someone my age who is shorter than me....It's pretty much a lost cause but, one can dream right?" she explained.

“My height?” Emma asked, unpacking some yard clothes from her suitcase. “Emm… I’m not sure to be honest. I haven’t measured myself in a while.” She though what she might be, taller than Meredith. She really didn’t know, so decided to change subject. “Yeah, I have two horses.” She said. “Lily and Abbie.” She smiled. “Lily had thoroughbred blood in her, Abbie is an Arab. I do show jumping with them, not much else.” She picked up a picture of them both in the paddock at home, on the stud. She handed it over to Meredith. She then picked one up of Lily, with a brown filly cantering beside her. “The dapple grey one is Abbie, the black horse Lily.” She smiled. “Hey, we should go on a hack together sometime.”

Emma looked down at her yard clothes again. “Yeah, I best get changed.” She said. “I’ve just been sorting my horses.”
She started to look through her clothes, on one of the suitcases. She picked out a denim skirt, a jeanswear hoodie/top, a tank top & a light blue dessert scarf.
“I’ll just slip into these. She walked into the bathroom, leaving the door a jar so she could still talk to Meredith, if Meredith wanted too.

“So,” Emma asked, “What do you do? Show jumping, dressage, cross country or what?” She got changed quickly, and was re-doing her make-up. “I’ve signed up for the level 4 & 5 jumping with my two horses. I wanna know who else does what.” She tried to sound friendly, but always sounded like some queen. “I’m planning on going down town.” She told Meredith, walking out the bathroom, grabbing some other belongings, and continuing unpacking. “I’m hoping to meet new people. I don’t know anyone around here!”

`` `` `` Meredith took the pictures that Emma handed her. "Oh wow, they're brilliant, both of them." she said, staring contently at the pictures, her eyes glued to them. Handing Emma's pictures back, she dug around in her back pocket. "Hang on...." she said, her voice trailing off. Several seconds later, of struggling with the pockets, she pulled out a very well-loved picture of Ares, which was bent in half in a sloppy crease. Unfolding it, and handing it to Emma, she spoke. "This is Ares." she explained. "Yeah." she said, acknowledging Emma's invite. "That'd be great. I'm actually going to take Ares down to a show-jumping stadium thats about an hour away, here in a little bit. I'd like to get a bit of show quality jumping in before my next show." she said. "You're welcome to come, if you'd like." she offered.
Meredith looked up, when she heard Emma chatting conversationally from where she was changing. "I actually do all three." she said. "I'm training Ares in eventing. He's a work in progress," she shrugged. "Oh seriously?" she asked, a bit of excitement in her voice. "I'm also going for my 5 rating here in a bit. Well, Ares is.....I'm a certified cross-country trainer." she said, with another shrug.

“Sounds good.” Emma replied. “I need to ride Lily anyway. I’ve rode Abbie, but not Lily yet.” She Looked at Meredith’s picture of the stallion. “Oh, he’s really pretty. He looks nice.” She handed her back the picture, smiling. “Yeah, I’ll come. Sounds good. I’m going to go down town first, though, then I’ll come back and sort Lily out.”
