Claire sat pouring over a magazine full of expensive clothes, trying to pick out something that Ellie might like to buy her as a 'welcome to Shiz' present. She hadn't come in from...where did she say she was going? The library? Maybe. Nonetheless, she was out. "Green...maybe..." she muttered thinking how it would make her eyes sparkle.

Ellie appeared after being transported by her mother into the hallway just outside her room. She looked around - no one around. Her mother was good. She made her way into her room, hoping to avoid Claire for the moment. She actually...liked her. Liked the blonde bubbly girl. How was that possible? But best friends? She was still a little scared of her... answers to a prophecy...maybe. But instant best friends? How do you relate to someone with that kind of advanced information?
When she entered the room, there was Claire on the bed. She tried to make her way to her bed as quietly as possible..."

Her eyes peeked up over the magazine, following her roommate sneaking across the room. "Ellie! Have you been a bad girl?" she smirked.

"What?" she exclaimed dropping the book she had just picked up. "What do you mean?"

"You have to relax!" she laughed, getting up to help her with her books. "You just had that guilty look on your face...and the way you creeped in here...just looked like you'd been doing something secretive," she teased.

"Oh, no. Just trying to keep a low profile" Ellie said. "The Nessa resemblance is bad enough without my powers going haywire. I just...don't want everyone to hate me. Which I think they all do already."

"Nobody hates you, Baby." she laughed, taking her books from her and setting them down. "Just be..yourself. I mean, a slightly less intimidating yourself. Don't be so nervous and your powers won't zip zap everywhere!" She smiled that warm smile that could melt mountains. "Plus, you're like my own little sister now. I'm taking care of you, and no one dare says no to the great Claire Heart from the Upper Uplands!"

Ellie smiled. "Claire, can I ask you something? W...why do you like me? Why, do you think of me as your sister? Are you serious? Or is that Upland slang for something..more...superficial than what it sounds like?" Her eyes were downcast...uneasy. Why WAS this so easy with Claire?

"I mean...you were assigned to me. You're obviously very talented and willing. You've got way more talent than I've ever had. Not to mention your foster mom happens to by my greatest idol ever. But don't think i'm using you to get to her, it's just a perk. You're cool. Misunderstood, but cool. You've got potential."

"But wouldn't you just think that about anyone who had been assigned to you? I mean, you're sweet, popular, I'm just sort of, a cute and unusual accessory."

"I can't deny that to a certain extent that's not true, but still you've got a unique quality to you. there's something...besides all that talent which makes you shine out bright anyway, that is special about you!"

Ellie smiled. "I won't fit in with your friends very well..."

"Eh! Forget em!" she laughed, plopping down on the bed. "They're not really very good friends. They're just socializing buddies.."

"Doesn't everyone? I mean, it's nice to have plenty of those. It's what being popular is. But I mean...everyone wants companionship.'
