Helena’s trip home over the short winter break had been decided last minute. Her flight exam was taking her back to the East Coast and she was able to arrange to take another Cessna the rest of the way home. It has been a short trip, but now she was back and excited for the new semester and classes to start. Her room mate chattered at her for over two hours when she got back, about some little box she was messing with that was now spread in parts across their entire room.

Helena escaped to find food and other friends. Their squads would be determined this semester and they would work, study, and live together the rest of their four years. Helena was excited for it. In the Galley she grabbed a tray, food and then looked around. She spotted a mop of curly res-brown hair and grinned. “Hey Marceau! How was your break?” She set her tray down and sat down across from him
