You're New Too? (Cam)

[Rylee Vasquez]

Rylee tossed her skateboard onto the sidewalk the moment she exited the doors to the building, jumping on. She had no idea what Hammel's rules were on skateboarding in the halls or the dormitories and so she'd decided to play it safe, at least for her first month here. She also wanted to get skateboarding before snow eventually coverered the ground. She had a feeling it would be sooner here than in Pennsylvania. She was still figuring out Hammel. It was a fairly big school in her opinion, especially since it was a boarding school, so it had more to it, but so far it was just high school with teenagers with powers...it was weird. And Rylee found herself wanting to join all of the sports, even though it probably wasn't such a good idea with her power. This was hard to get used to. 

Her roommates were alright so far, who she'd met of them anyway, even if Marcus was a little strange, but she was still trying to make herself make new friends. It was a work in progress. 

[Cameron Tyler]

Cameron had found a place to just hang out and break out her acoustic guitar to relax. She was finding the new school to have its own challenges to her old school. Oh course, the old school was full of cliques and all kinds of annoying people. But here? There was all kinds of interesting people and lots of promise.

She sat her open case in front of her as she sat on the low stone wall. Good buskers need to collect tips when they can. She started to warm up on her guitar, but a teen girl on a skateboard was heading her way on the sidewalk. Grinning, Cameron broke out into the first few bars of the Simpsons theme song as the skate chick rolled by.

As Rylee skated by the girl with her guitar, she was suddenly glad she wasn't wearing her headphones and blasting music, because what the girl started to play amused her and she instead circled back towards her, rolling past her again. "No. Fucking. Way." She grinned as the girl continued on with the Simpons theme. Now that was clever. "I should tip you."

[Cameron Tyler]

"You could....." Cameron nodded with a grin, "Or just buy me a frosty beverage. I'm Cameron, by the way."


Cameron was very pleased to see that the brunette liked what she had played. She continued to riff with the same Simpson's music while she watched the young lady move about the sidewalk with ease.

"I can snowboard, but I've never tried an actual skateboard. You do a great job making it look easy."

[Rylee Vasquez]

"Frosty beverage, huh? You seem easy to please," Rylee commented with a grin. "I'm Rylee. Look at us, we both have uni-sex names. You didn't get put in the wrong dorm room too, did you?" Maybe it was just her own personal experience, but she couldn't help but wonder if it happened to anybody else.

"Well, it wasn't easy when I first learned," she admitted. Her brothers had quite the time trying to teach her and it resulted in a lot of cuts and bruises, but eventually, she got good at it and now it was second nature. Besides, it wasn't like her power didn't help with that either. "I think if you can snowboard, you could skateboard."

Cameron's continued to idly play her guitar as she looked up to the pretty brunette. She chuckled at the observation about their names.
"So true....." she laughed. The sound of her own laughter 

The second observation actually pulled Cam up short, her expression revealing she hadn't considered that possibility.
"Well....I am rooming with three boys. I...just figured all the dorm areas had guys and gals mixed. I haven't been into the other dorm buildings. Do they have units with just boys in them, or girls?"


She considered for a moment and shrugged. She had made a great friend already in Matt the Tarheel, one of her unit mates. 
"It's ok, Ryley. I never roomed with anyone before I came here. So far, it's worked out. But then again, I haven't had one of those moments from a citcom where the boys get all tangled up in all the bras hanging in the bathroom, or something else equally ridiculous."

"Maybe...." Cam let the guitar hang from it's strap as she crossed her ankles. "But snow is a lot better to fall on than asphalt."

She looked up to Rylee with a whimsical little grin.
"Tell you what. you teach me how to ride a skateboard, I'll teach you some music to wow your family next time they come to visit."
