Welcome Sayori

"I'm so nervous!" The pink haired girl anxiously muttered, nervously playing with her hands and tugging on the red bow in her coral pink hair as they walked. "What if they don't like me? What if they hate me?! They're all so much better than I am! They're on a whole level above me!"

"Sayori, I'm right there in the other building, there's no reason to be freaking out over something like this."

"That's easy for you to say Atori!" Sayori panicked and looked over at the guy who had rolled his eyes at her actions. "You're not sharing a dorm with so many professionals! They have series'! As in more than one! And what do I have? A mere few guest spots in other mangas!" She was clearly freaking out and panicking, "and you've met them all right? You have to have seen them all at some point last year while I'm being thrown in head first!" Sayori crouched down, her hands buried stressedly into her coral colored hair with tears of fear welling in her blue eyes. "What if they don't like me Atori? I don't want to be sent home..." It was depression talking again, the voices in her head insulting and belittling her. Making it hard to stay positive. This entire experience depended on the other girls liking her, if they didn't she wouldn't learn anything, at all.

Atori's stormy blue eyes looked at her before he sighed and rested a hand on her shoulder, "if all else fails I'll convince the Matron to let me have my own room in that building with you." Sayori looked up at him, tears swimming in her blue eyes, but she looked relieved, and happy she had a back up plan. "It's safer for me to go over there than you go over to mine," Atori continued before he pulled her to her feet, a small smile on his face, "plus Sayori you're missing a very important fact about them."

"What is it?" Sayori asked curiously and rubbed her tears from her eyes with the sleeve of her jacket, looking at her friend through her other eye.

Atori brushed some of her tears away and flicked them off his finger with a confident smile, "they're all girls. Teenage girls just like you. So what if they have a series? That doesn't mean they're any different from you, they all have problems, just like you. Either way, I'll go with you to meet everyone okay?"

They had reached the front door of Sayori's dorm building. The cosy Japanese style building was small, only had about four or so rooms, and had a calm little pond in front of it next to the walkway. The trickling water mixed with what smelled like lavender and lemon in the air was extremely calming. Likely from the lavender planted at the entrance along with a few lazily burning candles and something else that carried the oils further into the air.

"Wow! It smells so good out here!" Sayori squealed, nerves forgotten, and took a deep breath and held it for a moment before she exhaled slowly, feeling the tension and nerves drain from her body. "What is this stuff anyway?"

Atori walked alongside her, a relaxed grin on his face, clearly he felt at home here in the dorm. "It's lemon and lavender, one of the girls likes essential oils and according to her they help you relax and destress."

"It's always wonderful when Yuri arrives," a mellow voice spoke and Sayori turned to her right to see a kindly woman smiling over at them with a broom in her hands. "She always knows how to help everyone calm down when they arrive. Hello Atori, I see you brought your friend with you this time."

Atori nodded and bowed to her, "How are you Reina? And yeah, her editor and parents finally agreed." He straightened up and looked fondly at Sayori before putting a hand on the top of her head like an older brother would, "I think it'll do her some good."

Reina, a relatively small women with mostly straight light brown hair and gentle silver eyes, smiled at the girl who looked nervously at her. Reina was wearing a half sleeved semi loose shirt paired with a knee length ruffled skirt and had a white headband holding back her hair that was a little longer than her shoulders.
