[[OPEN]] And it's brighter than the sun sunshine.

Isabelle Anderson, better known as Izzy or Doll, slid into the vacant seat in front of her younger sister, Sasha who was currently eating a cup of strawberry FroYo. She made a face at her sister. "Is that all you're going to eat Sash?" The girl shook her head and pointed to the club sandwich she hadn't touched yet. "Dessert first." She said after swallowing a mouthful of the pink yogurt. Izzy shook her head in amusement as she removed the plastic container from the asian chicken salad she had chosen along with a chicken sandwich. Her younger sister eyed the vanilla colored babydoll top she was wearing and grinned. "You know, you look girly today Doll." Izzy made a face as she took a bite of chicken and greens. "Shut up; we were running late and it was the first thing I could grab." Her family knew that because of her features, she was subject to a lot of teasing so she was very careful in her manner of dressing just to avoid the teasing. Her younger sister shrugged. "I say you should just flip the bird to everyone and wear what you want; I know you like dressing up." Izzy threw a crouton at her.

Nastassja merely laughed at her sister's childish reply. Izzy sighed wistfully. "I wish we were the same size; then I could trade shirts with you." While she was wearing a lacy babydoll top, Sasha was wearing a black tee-shirt with a white peace sign emblazoned on the front. Sasha shook her head. "Sorry sis, I don't think I could be taken seriously by the baseball team if I wore that." Izzy shook her head remorsefully; no chance for her today. What a great way to start her first day of school.

Primrose eyed her food. With a deep breath, she casually picked up her sandwich and bit into it gradually. She was dressed in her deep red shirt, with a black skull-symbol printed on it. Primrose was wearing her faded jeans, the ones that were ripped on the knees. She had been so used to being around her sister, she missed her. Teddie had been feeling sick lately, having a runny-nose and a slight sore-throat and cough. It had been a while since the two sisters have been separated, and both sisters--being new to the town and school--did not know anybody, yet. Primrose thought about what Teddie would have said. Just go off to some people that you would blend in with, and try to make a friend. Teddy's voice buzzed in Primrose's ears repeatedly. Primrose scanned her eyes repeatedly around the room. She did not, however, see many girls she could picture her being a friend with. Sighing, she ducked her head and slowly nibbled at her sandwich. If only Teddie was not sick, Primrose wouldn't be so glum. The two sisters fought regular, having a daily squabble, but both loved each other very much, and their bond was truly unbreakable.

Izzy was having a hard time getting out of her funk, mostly because she was afraid that the past would repeat itself and the Riverside kids would not be as kind. She knew she could hold her own against teasing; come one, she was 17 for crying out loud, but it didn't mean that it hurt any less because she was older. She sighed softly as she chewed on a piece of chicken, her eyes wandering about the cafeteria curiously just because there was a lull in the conversation between Sasha and her. "Hey look at that girl, she's all alone..." Sasha turned her head curiously, her mouth full of frozen yogurt as she spotted Primrose. "Do you want to go up to her? I kinda feel bad for her." Nastassja rolled her eyes dramatically as she swallowed. "Fine. God, Doll you are such a nice person. Come on sister, before I change my mind." Doll grinned and picked up her tray and Sasha followed suit, making way to the girl eating a sandwich by herself.

Doll plunked her tray on the table and slid into the seat across from Primrose while Sasha sat by Doll, still eating her frozen yogurt. "Hey, I hope you don't mind if we sit with you... We were kind of getting bored and we saw you by yourself so we thought we'd try to make a new friend today." Doll was doing that happy-joy introduction she had a habit of doing when meeting new people. Sasha rolled her eyes. "Sorry, my sister is high on rainbows."

[♥ kelly]

Primrose looked up, smiling slightly. "I don't mind if you guys sit with me," she said with satisfaction. At least I don't have to go up to someone and ask them if I could sit with them.. Primrose stuck her hand out to shake. "I'm Primrose." she beamed a bright smile at the two girls. "I was also trying to make a new friend today. My sister is sick, and I decided to follow her advice on making friends." Primrose looked around the room for a second or two. Her sister would have wanted to be here, and would probably make friends faster than Primrose. Teddie and her have never really been separated. They were so different, yet so alike in so many ways.. "Are you two sisters?" Primrose asked. She felt a little jealous that they both were together. Primrose had been left alone, her sister was feeling sick. Luckily, Primrose had been told that Teddie would be fine tomorrow, and she could still be at school. Well, let's hope Teddie will be here.. Primrose thought. Maybe she would like to meet these two.. she turned her attention back to the girls, and beamed a shy, but bright, smile at them.

Izzy grinned and shook her hand; Sash on the other hand just waved before she finished her food. "My name's Isabelle but you can call me Izzy. And this heathen is my younger sister Nastassja." Said heathen rolled her eyes as she started on her sandwich. "Excuse me, but you should really call her Doll; don't you see how doll-like her features are? It's cute bordering on creepy; and please call me Sasha." They both grinned at her; she seemed pretty nice and it was a good start for the both of them to have made a friend on their first day. "So what do we call you? Primrose seems pretty... long for a name." Sasha said with a laugh before she bit into her sandwich and chewed thoughtfully.

[♥ kelly]

"Nice to meet you Doll, Sasha." Primrose thought for a moment. Everybody really called her Primrose, except Teddie--who sometimes called her Rosie. "You guys can call me Rose, or Rosie, if you'd like." Primrose said. She took a bite into her sandwich and thought about other nicknames that she could have. Nicknames usually come to you, you don't really make them up.. People kind of make them up for you.. "Primrose is a long name," she added thoughtfully. "I don't know why my mom called me Primrose, but everybody has been calling me Primrose ever since I was a baby, so.." Primrose paused for a minute. "You guys should probably meet my sister, Teddie. She has a cold today, but I think she'll be in school tomorrow. Maybe she can think of a better nickname for me." she laughed lightly."I guess I just got so used to being called Primrose, but my sister calls me Rosie at sometimes." Primrose mumbled, biting into her sandwich again. "I call her Ted, but I think she actually hats that nickname."

[kristay]

A flicker of a twitch passed through Izzy's features at the sound of her nickname coming from Primrose's lips. She didn't mind as much as before but she still found it a bit irksome. "I think I'll stick to Rose.", Izzy muttered with a smile. Sasha grinned as she took a sip from her water. "Yeah it does sound really proper; at least it's easy to say. Most people misspell my name all the time. I hate the random 'J', they stuck in. It's totally unnecessary." Izzy smiled at her sister's common complaint before turning back to Rose. "Totally, maybe we can hang out tomorrow. Why don't you find another nickname for your sister if she doesn't like it then?"

[♥ kelly]

Primrose smiled, "Rose is fine." she told the two sisters. "You have a 'J' in your name?" she asked a bit skeptically. "Why'd your parents put that letter in there?" Primrose buzzed. The girl shrugged. "Hm.. I wasn't really sure if Teddie liked that nickname or not, I should really ask her today, when I get home." she laughed slightly. "Some of my siblings like calling her Teddie-Bear, and I don't think Teddie minds it." Primrose thought for a few minutes, Maybe I should start calling her that instead.. she laughed in her mind. She probably hates the name 'Ted' because its mostly a boy's name.. Primrose took a small sip of her water and bit into her sandwich. She smiled at the girls afterward. "Maybe we can hang tomorrow. I think Teddie will be better by then." Primrose said. "Hopefully, she's better already." she added in.

[kristay]

Sasha laughed as she looked for a post it and a pen from her sister's bag. "Here, this is my name." And with neat block letters she wrote N A S T A S S J A before turning it over to Primrose. "See? Totally unnecessary letters in that name." Izzy grinned as she finished the salad and took the tapioca cup from her tray which she opened, licking the cover thoughtfully. "Sure, we can have lunch together again, next time with your sister. I hope she's better already." Izzy smiled encouragingly as she dipped her spoon into the tapioca.

[♥ kelly]

Primrose looked at the post-it with Sasha's name on it. "Whoa, that is a random 'J'." Primrose laughed to herself in her mind. "Any idea on why your parents stuck that in?" Primrose asked, finishing her sandwich. She reached for her pudding and peeled the cover off and licked it gradually. She reached for a spoon and scooped a little spoon of pudding and ate it. "Hanging out tomorrow would be great," Primrose said with a warm smile.

[kristay]

Sasha shrugged and laughed at the same time. "I dunno; even Sasha is supposed to be spelled with a 'J'. Sassja; I don't spell it like that though because it takes too much effort." Doll grinned at her and nodded, glad that they were making new friends. "Cool." She paused and glanced around, noticing that the lunch rush seemed particularly hyped today. "So do you only hang out with your sister? Or have you made friends here already? I'm still sticking around Sash 'cause I haven't made any friends yet."

[♥ kelly]

Primrose grinned upon hearing that Sasha spelled Sasha as 'S-a-s-h-a' instead of 'S-a-s-s-j-a', like her parents had named her. She lightly blushed when Doll asked her about if she was only hanging around with her sister, but when Doll said she hadn't made any friends yet, Primrose's blush disappeared. She smiled and shrugged at the same time, "I haven't really made friends yet. Teddie and I are kinda sticking together recently." Primrose told them.

[kristay]

Sasha laughed and nodded. "Yeah, like me and Doll here. But hopefully the people in Riverside are cool enough that we can make friends soon. I'm getting sick of hanging out with this girl 24/7." Doll scoffed at her younger sister and lightly pinched her arm, causing Sasha to yelp. "Hey, I was just kidding." Doll rolled her eyes before glancing at Primrose. "So are you new here too, then?"

[♥ kelly]

Primrose laughed softly and nodded, "Yeah, I am new to this school--and town." she told them and smiled, "Teddie is okay to be around with. Sometimes she gets boring, to me at least, because we share the same room at home and go to the same school..." she grinned, "Come to think about it, I think she's always with me." Rose said with a warm smile. She took a small sip of her water and a spoonful of her vannila-and-chocolate pudding.

[kristay]

Doll tilted her head. "So where were you guys from originally?" Sasha drank some of Doll's water and swallowed before speaking. "So why don't you find other friends? I mean, if you're tired of hanging out with Teddie all the time, you could find new people to hang out with right?" It was true; it was sort of what school was for: learning... and more importantly, making new friends.
