Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

The weather was thankfully behaving, so it was fairly warm outside as everything was set up for the picnic. Tables and chairs had been set up, and there was plenty of food and drinks, along with nametags, and two signs: one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, and another listing rooms and roommates for the new students.

[WAIT FOR THE OCD PLEASE. OCD IS UP, HAVE AT IT. This is part one of the picnic, for specifically meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. *g*]

Harriet smiled at the boy as he was wandering past. "Are you finding everything all right?"

"Pretty much", he answers with a wary half-smile in return. "I was just looking."

"Take all the time you like to look around," she told him. "That's what the first day is for. I'm Miss Jones, Dean of Students here at the school." Harriet seemed a bit informal to use when meeting a student.

"Michael Guerin", he returns. "Just got in today... but you knew that."

"I did," she replied. "Today's the day for it. Welcome to Fandom High, Mr Guerin. It's a bit different here, but you'll get used to it, and my office is always open if you find yourself in need of some assistance."

Michael nods.

"Thanks. I think I like it better than Roswell already."

"Roswell, Roswell," she said thoughtfully. "That's in New Mexico, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is." He pulls a slight face. "Not worth visiting, unless you like tourist traps."

"I'll keep that in mind." Harriet gave him a small smile. "I think you'll enjoy Fandom. Just remember that you get out of your time here what you put into it." She paused. "And that gremlins should be avoided."

Michael chuckles.

"Yeah, my sister told me that. Uh - Isabel, do you know her?"

"Isabel Evans?" She thought for a moment. "She's a senior, I believe. How nice for you to have family here."

"It is", he agrees. "She's my age back home, but... still."

"So you've already had your first taste of how strange this place can be," she said as she realised this Isabel was a different Isabel from the one he had back home. "I must say, you're coping very well."

"I'm adaptable", he says blandly, rather than say a word about already being used to weirdness.

She smiled approvingly. "A trait which will stand you in good stead here."

"Hope so. I want to graduate."
