It had been a while since Stefan had been out to hang around the school, though an important question had been plaguing his mind and he just had to take some time to think about it. College, it was something Stefan had been thinking about for a while now ever since he had taken the current year off. It was nice living with his step mother and learning the things that she had taught him, though he found himself thinking forward about the future. He wanted at least a few more skills to use just in case, he had made it this far and he didn't want to regret not doing this later on in life. Still he had his doubts about going and the certain stresses and social situations that he had been avoiding, though he told himself that he needed to be more brave then that, less meek then he usually was and so that is why he was standing here.

Out in the court yard looking up at the school and pondering to himself about his own future, he let out a sigh as he looked up at the building in front of him. He had so many memories and he figured he could try and make more. The hard part was deciding on what exactly he wanted to do, he had talked to some people about it but never really went to the school itself and poked around looking for information and the such about college and what programs there were. Of course he could have just looked it all up online but where is the fun in that right? He asked himself before starting to walk. He was clueless as to where to go and what to ask but he figured he would find all that out on his own. He took a deep breath and continued on.

Chasing down classes and asking for directions was a tedious task Isabella didn't find too much fun in. Back at DCA, she could walk from Magic class to her dorm with her eyes closed and hands tied behind her back. Starlight Academy was a whole different beast of a school. The few occasions she did come here were for sports scrimmages which didn't require much searching. Plus now it was 12 years in the future and new buildings and faces were littered all over.

Isabella huffed as she dropped down into a bench located in the school courtyard. Students went from here to there all while she looked down at a pamphlet of the Academy detailing some of its facilities, locations, and opportunities. She should've asked one of her roommates to lead her around like Liliana but being a bother was never in her nature. Ever since the unfreeze she just wanted to try and get herself on track and push back the whole event like it never happened. Though she could never do that, everywhere she turned some new thing threw itself at her like yesterday's news and she was left stunned and confused.

"Screw it." She closed the pamphlet and just looked around her surroundings to see what was immediately around her. There was no rush for today, no classes were scheduled and she had all evening to explore. Looking around once more she spotted a passing...student? The campus had visitors sometimes. "Excuse me," she called to them. "Do you go here?"

The red-headed boy might've been more privy to where things were if they'd been going here prior. Many students went to DCA or SA from when they were first learning to speak to when they were getting into college.

At first Stefan kept walking for about three seconds before stopping, he never would have expected for someone to be talking to him. He turned around to face her while his brain processed everything. "Ah! Well I did go here for high school and some of elementary, not big boy school. Not yet at least..." He said smiling a tiny bit, letting some of his sharp choppers show. He always enjoyed talking to people, even when it was small things such as this. "I was kinda wondering where things were too, since i'm deciding whether or not I wanna go to collage. But if you got questions about what the schools about and stuff I could probably help you with that. I did go here for." He said assuming she was new and over sharing about what he was doing here, Stefan really needed better social skills.

Isabella squinted and smiled "Big boy school huh? Is that what you call it sometimes." She chuckled a bit. " And do I really stick out that much that I'm new. I could've been a club member trying to sell you cookies or some shit." It probably was true she gave off an out of place vibe. She was in a different school and from a different time. Isabella stuck her hands into her hoodie as a small breeze picked up.

It was going to be night soon and she had planned to get a few drinks with her friends but even she couldn't deny th allure of walking around the large campus. All those strange people who would walk around DCA were now funneled into this place making the number of unique faces and creatures another attraction. " Nevermind that why don't you tell me about yourself? How was it going to school here from a young age? Getting past the school administration jargon and getting direct opinions from the students was something Isabella had been doing all day. On paper the modern-day SA sounded like paradise but every place had its faults and she wanted to know them.

Stefan chuckled back at her, his way of words usually got this reaction out of people "Yea! I mean its such a fun name for it... though maybe it is a bit too childish." He paused for a moment, looking away as if to think for a moment before his eyes trailed back to meet her's. "Well you did ask if I went here, not really something you ask if you actually do go to this school! Not many schools for people like us around" He said gesturing back at the school. "And for as long as I've been here no ones ever tried to sell me cookies, that would be pretty sweet though."

He looked her over for the first time studying how she presented himself and then glancing around him, it made him think that he needed some new clothes if he'd ever wanna come back, everyone that looked around his age seemed so stylish, snapping back to reality when she asked him about himself. "Me? Uhh well I was taken here when I was about ten and I was mostly on my own for the longest time so school wasn't really a big deal. I did what I had to and they provided for me. The school itself is great for me, the people though.... ehh that's a whole other kinda story" He said with a quick nod.

Isabella understood how prickly the people of the island could be, hell she was one of them. It was natural for immigrants to come and think the people of the island had some sort of issue with a peaceful resolution. In reality, they were all just hardened from the lifestyle they had to live on the island full of ex-murderer, hardcore individuals, and naturally, mean people.

"I never hung out much with SA students when the opportunity arose. The whole school rivalry thing was pretty fierce back in my day so I just avoided the drama and hung out with whoever was around at the moment."

Isabella remembers some of the silly pranks the school teams would play on each other, and the few she dragged herself into. The worse she had done was a rather elaborate piece of graffiti on SA campus. It depicted a rather crude drawing of what the DCA team was going to do to the SA team on the upcoming football match.

"So what are you doing now? Still living on campus or you rush to get your own place out in the city? You don't strike me as the roommate sort of guy."
