It had been a long first week of school and Niamh was positive her head was going to explode. How much information did her teachers really expect her to retain?! She missed her old school, it never seemed as intense as this Academy.[break][break]
And yet, despite those thoughts swirling through her head, Niamh was still determined to do her best here. She just had to... Well, do her homework and study. Ew! The idea of spending hours learning stuff for exams made her want to curl up on her bed and sleep through it all.[break][break]
Maybe something sweet would cheer her up?[break][break]
Niamh's feet carried her towards the Campus Café. She wanted something yummy to fill her up and then a slice of cake for dessert! She had worked hard all week and she deserved it. Lucky for her, she had some allowance left over from the money her ma had given her. With a soft giggle to herself, Niamh followed the signs to her destination.[break][break]
There was zero hesitation as she ordered herself a delicious looking chicken and cheese panini, with sweet chilli sauce! Yummy! She also got an iced tea and then debated over what she would have for dessert. There were a lot of delicious looking pastries and cake slices... It was so hard to pick! Niamh poked her lips with her finger as she finally decided on what she would have - a slice of red velvet cake! She had never tried it before and it looked good.[break][break]
With her haul piled onto a tray, Niamh paid for her goodies and went to get herself a table. She sat in the corner and couldn't wait to get stuck in! Niamh knew she should be good and leave her dessert to the end but it was so tempting too... She chewed on her bottom lip and hurried to take a bite of her panini.[break][break]
Maybe she would be less tempted after eating something!

Conor yawned as walked through campus. He would be lying if he paid any attention this first week. His older brother would be very disappointed in him because of that. But school subjects were just so boring compared to sports, I mean hell, Conor would much rather be running laps than sitting still listening to random things he would never use again.
It didn't take long for him to find the sportsplex and have some fun with others playing a pickup game of basketball. After a while he was starving. So being the person he is, living pretty much off of instinct alone. He set it sights for the cafe. It was a very exhausting way to live sometimes. Purely instinct alone and no brains.
He found his way to the cafe after a taking a shower and cleaning up a bit. He hated trying to have like a meal after being all sweaty. He walked up and grabbed whatever was fastest. Conor was not a picky eater in the slightest. You put food in front of this man, he will inhale it. After getting his trey he looked for a place to sit. Then he saw a very familiar blonde sitting in the corner and devilish smile came across his face.
He walked over letting his tray hit the table with a thud. The food barely staying on his tray as he just looked down at this sister. "Well Well, if it isn't my little sister." his devilish smile almost widening a bit the moment he made contact with her.

The thud of Conor's tray forced Niamh out of her daydream (she was thinking about the Photography Club she had joined and possibly heading out this weekend with her camera!). She let out a soft squeak until she saw the culprit and immediately fired a glare in his direction.[break][break]
"Do you have to be such a melter? You know there's plenty of other places you could be sitting, why do you have to bug me." Niamh continued to glower at him as she bit into her panini. Typical, she couldn't even get peace and quiet in a big place like this.[break][break]
Why wouldn't her parents have shipped her stupid brothers somewhere else.[break][break]
But, in typical McCluskey fashion, Niamh's bad mood at her brother's unwelcome appearance at her table didn't last long. She continued to eat her food and asked, "How was your first week of school?" If any of her brothers would agree with Niamh about the school load, it would probably be Conor.[break][break]
Or not, in an effort to tease her.[break][break]
"Have you signed up for a sport team already?" She tried to remember which sport he had talked about joining. Definitely something that started with a B... "Badminton was it?"[break][break]
She picked up her iced tea and took a sip. It was a lot sweeter than she expected and she ended up making a face at it. Niamh had to get used to how things tasted here, compared to back home. A lot of it was similar enough that she felt confident in her choices and yet there was always something just not right about it all. If only she had her ma's cooking, that would have helped her feel more settled about going to this school.
[break][break] [attr="class","derrytag"] If you're uncertain about any slang terms Niamh is using, there's a glossary I've put together on her plotter!

Conor sat down as she spoke and just started to munch away on a sandwich. "Yea but it's a lot more fun to annoy you." he swallowed as he looked up at her. "Plus like just because us three are living away from home, doesn't mean you are safe from me." he chuckled. It was true though. They may not be under the same roof anymore, but that doesn't mean she is safe from constant teasing. It will just take a little more effort on Conor's part to find her on this massive campus.
He just stared blankly at Niamh as he just laughed. "oh my darling eejit Niamh, do you really want to start? All I did was saw my lovely sister sitting alone and thought she could use some company" as he looked at her with such a sad face, but his tone came off soooo sarcastic it isn't even funny. Serves her right though. Badminton? that was like when he was like seven.
"But first week was fine. Just a lot to take in." he finally answered, as he looked around. "A lot more people than we used to huh?" he paused as he just sighed. "Plus like all the material they tried to explain. My brain was melted by the third day." as he took the cup of water on his tray and gulped it down, in a second it was all gone.
"But probably gunna join the baseball and basketball teams. How about you, you find anything interesting to join after classes, if not, I can always help you find something?" he asked genuinely curious. Not because he wanted to tease her about it. But that's just how Conor is. Will constantly tease them but make sure they are doing something they enjoyed, even if it isn't the most practical. As long as they enjoyed it, that's what mattered to him. | I will always Run before I walk

So he thought she was an eejit did he? Hmph! She'd mind him for again! She also didn't need to be reminded that she had no way to escape from her brothers while they shared the same school. While she wanted to deny the reality of her situation, she knew it was true -- until they all graduated, they would be there to annoy her.[break][break] "Or is it just 'cause you haven't made a single friend yet?" Niamh shot back, wanting to tease her brother in return, though it was probably just a projection of her own insecurity. Sure, she got along alright with her room-mate Verity Valendeer so far but Niamh had yet to meet someone from her year group that she could be friends with. She needed to change that, quickly.[break][break] She was relieved when her brother said some of the things she had been thinking about the school and their new home, "Right? I miss our wee island so much right now. Why do so many people need to live in once place together? It's mental!" She said this in between taking bites of her food. She wasn't a total heathen though, her ma had raised her right, and she made sure not to talk with her mouth full. It made for a rather stilted conversation on her end but she was starving![break][break] "I feel very melted brain right now too." She grinned in solidarity with her brother. If this had been Eoin, he would have been nagging her to do her homework or reminding her about the importance of exams. Boke![break][break] Baseball! Basketball! Those were the sports! They weren't as popular back home so she was glad her brother was getting to experience something new, "Aye, I've joined the Photography Club and I'm going to see if there's a sport climbing club I can join. I want to try all the different disciplines and see which one I'm best at." Niamh thought it was a very solid plan indeed. She looked for a napkin to clean her hands so she could show her brother some pictures on her phone.[break][break] "What's your dorm room like? Apparently we're allowed to decorate so I need to decide what to do with mine!" She finally got her hands cleaned and showed her brother the pictures of her dorm room and a few other random pictures she had taken around the school. She couldn't wait to crack out her DSLR and take some 'proper' pictures. [break][break] [attr="class","derrytag"]

Conor chuckled at the fact that she said he had no friends yet. To Conor he didn't really need them. As long as he could play sports and be active. That is what mattered to him. Plus like his siblings were more than enough for him at the end of the day. But yes until he gets more in-tune with his teammates or makes some friends in classes. As of right now she was correct.
"Photography suits you well." he smiled at her. "After all I cant tell you how many times I have had to yell at you to put your camera away." he chuckled at the fact that she was so obsessed with taking pictures of things. He always did have to remind her living life through her own two eyes is sometimes the best option. Not that having the physical memories is a bad thing. But sometimes the beauty of this earth can only really be appreciated by our own two eyes. And not through the lens of a camera or own phone.
"mmm" he pondered as she started to show him some pictures. "As of right now is pretty barren. Guess I could decorate it a little but its just a room for sleeping." He shrugged as more than likely it will just a place to crash at night seeing as he wants to improve at his sports plus like he is always doing something until curfew so. More than likely his place will be pretty empty.
"But if you really wanted to, cause I know you love to. You could always make like a wall collage of photos to hang for me so I have something." he chuckled knowing he wouldn't hear the end of it unless he at least tried to decorate it. Plus it might be good for her. As the main reason he came over was one to annoy her. But also it seemed like the first week was rough on her. More than it was for him. Probably over thinking about crap like usual. But maybe giving her a project to take her mind off some things could help.

Niamh was a bit suspicious about the compliment her brother paid her but she didn't say anything. She continued eating her food and listened to him ramble about things. It was nice, in a way, to have this moment with her brother, and it reminded her a lot of being back home. In their kitchen, or living room, just hanging out in a brief moment of peace between teasing. [break][break]
Though those moments would always make their ma concerned they were up to badness in some way. [break][break]
"I've no idea how t'decorate mine. I didn't think it was going to be something I'd have to worry about, you know?" Niamh hadn't really packed anything that could be considered 'decoration' and she didn't know if she kept the same room until she graduated. Her roommate was a year older, so did that mean she got a new roommate when Verity graduated?[break][break]
Maths wasn't her strong suit but if Niamh calculated it right, she'd be a senior then. What if she got stuck with a Freshman![break][break]
"A collage?" Niamh managed to break out of her thoughts just in time to hear what Conor was talking about, "Aye, I could do something like that dead easy for you. I have a bunch of pictures from back home but if you have anything in particular you want added, send them to me." She grinned. She loved having a wee crafty project to work on and it included her new photography hobby too.[break][break]
A double whammy![break][break]
Niamh looked around for a napkin to clean her hands before she moved onto her dessert and noticed she had forgotten to grab some. "I'll be right back." She apologised to Conor as she rose and headed to the counter to ask for some napkins.[break][break]
She didn't even think about how she had left her poor, delicious dessert unguarded around her brother.[break][break]
A rookie mistake!

He looked at her as she looked around for a napkin. His brown eyes just watching. Wondering what she was doing. "Yea I barely have pictures saved. That's what you are here for." he responded as he just watched her get up saying be right back. Acknowledging it with just an mhm. But as he looked back on the table her dessert was left there. Looking so good, and sweet. As his stomach growled at him to take it. Should he? It was his sisters after all...
How could he not? Red velvet was one of his favorites. As he took a quick glance towards his sister asking for some napkins as he just reached over. Grabbed the entire piece of cake. And just shoveled into his mouth. Barely able to fit the whole thing in there. As he heard the foot steps behind him. As he just grabbed his bag. Looked at his sister, mouth full like a chipmunk as he just tried to give her a smile a little bit of frosting coming from the side of his lips, before running off. Knowing damn well she would try to kill him for stealing it.
BUT she should know better. They have lived together for fourteen years. So she knows he a food stealer. Its a brotherly duty yknow. Like a week away from being home and did she forget how ruthless we were when it came to food. Especially Conor who was a tyrant when it came to collecting food off of his other siblings plates.
As he got to the door and he had finally swallowed. "Thanks Sis. It was absolutely scrumptious." he laughed as he took off out the door not looking back to see if she was chasing him.
