Brody was still putting clothes away when Hadley and Ava stopped by. He turned to smile at them. "Well, if you want to get to your room, just keep going.. but if you're not in a hurry, feel free to stay and hang out. I'm Brody, and he's Cal." He glanced over at Cal.

"No hurry at all. Where are you guys from?" Hadley asked.
Emma was reading a school book while she waited for Brody to meet her.

Brody checked his phone when he got a text, and he noticed the time. "Sorry to cut this short, but I gotta go." He flashed them a quick, apologetic smile and squeezed past them. He went to Emma's room and stopped in the doorway, knocking lightly on the door frame. He could see she was all ready. "I hope you weren't waiting too long.."

Emma looked up from her book and smiled at him, closing it and getting off the bed. 'No not at all. I just figured I`d get started on the class reading. So should we just wander around until we find some place that looks good?"

"Sounds like a plan to me." Brody smiled at her. "Something tells me you're very studious."

Emma eyed him with a hesitant smile as they started to walk down the street. "I always had to be if I ever wanted to get out of there. No way was I going to end up like my mom" she said, shaking her head.

Cal smirked at the two girls, holding out his hand, "Nice to meet you both."
Ava grinned and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, too, Cal."

"So, Cal, let me guess...L.A right?" Hadley said coyly.
"Oh," Emma started shaking her head. "You dont really want to know about her."

Cal smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Born and raised. How'd you know?"

Hadley shrugged also, now pretending to be uninterested. "I`m from here too. Its pretty obvious to spot the natives. Ava`s from Connecticut. I`ve just been showing her around"

Brody continued to look at her. "I'm just curious as to why you don't want to be like her.."

Emma started blushing and looked away. "In the daytime she works as a house cleaner and she works the night shift at a diner. I love my mom and admire that she did what she had to do. But, we lived in a small house and she always had a loser boyfriend who freeloaded off of us and I just always wanted something...different" she looked up at him finally. "It sounds kinda horrible when I say it. Its not like I wanted to be better than her."

Cal shrugged and turned back to his stuff. He started pulling out his books and notebooks and putting them in the closet. "That's nice of you. How you like it Ava?"
Ava smiled, "It's okay."

Brody shook his head and smiled softly. "It doesn't sound horrible. I get what you mean. And I'm sure she wants you to do better."

Emma shrugged slightly. "I think she`s proud of me but she makes it pretty obvious she resents me for it." She stopped in front of an italian place. "This looks pretty good"
"Alright well if you get bored later, you know our room number. It was nice to meet you Cal" Hadley said, smiling.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Brody came to a stop with her and glanced up at the place. "You have good taste." He smiled and got the door for her.

She smiled and thanked him as they went inside. Once they were seated and had ordered Emma looked at Brody. "So what about your parents? What are they like?"

Brody shrugged, "They're divorced. My dad owns a construction business and my mom's a partner at a law firm."

"It was nice to meet you, too," Cal smirked then looked at Ava. "And you too. Come by anytime. My room is always open."
