[Open] Testing The Waters

Adrian grinned as he got of the train. His sister, who was left in Albany, New York, where they used to live, had told him that Riverside was a good place to call home. Adrianne, his twin sister, chose to stay back in their hometown.

He smiled as he looked around. The city looked just as Adrianne had described. Adrian grinned--he couldn't wait to go to Riverside University. He turned to the boy standing next to him.

Being a hyper-active type, Adrian loved meeting new people--boys and girls. "Hello," he said casually. "I'm Adrian,"

"Nice to meet you too," Adrian said with a grin. "Yes, I'm new actually. I'm going to attend the university here.." Adrian thought about Adrianne and tried to recall why she did not wish to come. "Are you new to town?" he asked, shifting his heavy backpack to his left shoulder. "This backpack is so heavy.." he muttered to himself.

Adrian nodded slowly. "Are you staying with your family in the Summer? I'm not, my sister Adrianne is in Albany, New York, our hometown.. Where are you from?" Realizing he talked too much, Adrian laughed lightly. "Sorry--I talk too much."

"The rest of my family are still in Albany, I hope I can convince my twin to come to Riverside," Adrian said, looking around. "I still don't understand why Adrianne refused to come," he said to himself. "Well, this is kind of a question that most people probably don't ask you...how old are you?" Adrian usually asked the question to everybody he met, always curious to know about one person or thing. "Sorry--I talk a lot and ask a lot of questions.."

"Nineteen," Adrian replied, putting both hands in his pockets. "Are you going to the university now?" he asked, still looking around at the city. "Oh--have you heard of that hurricane in Mabtown? It must have been really bad." Adrian said randomly.

"I didn't live there..but my cousins did." he said. He sighed, "I'm glad they got out alive.." he murmured to himself. "A lot of houses got destroyed, including my cousin's house.." he said.

"I don't know anybody from here either," he said, "Well--except for you, but you're new to the town as well." Adrian glanced around. "My twin sister went here before..but she didn't know anybody who lived here either." he shrugged.

"Oh--yeah, I'm coming." he said, nodding and getting into the cab, tossing his backpack on the floor. Adrian shut the door. "How much does it cost per person, again?" he asked.
