Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The door opened to this really large and well-furnished room.

There were four girls in it, and...

' Yo! What the hell are you waiting for? "Come in, junior," a loud voice rang through my ears as I jolted in shock.

I didn't need a fortune teller to tell me that she was the boss here.

I briskly walked in.

It was definitely too early to pick a fight; otherwise, I would have said one or two nasty things.

"I'm Ava," she said as she brushed a loose strand of her black hair out of her eyes.

"I'm the only senior in this room, so please stay out of my way if you want us to live, well, peacefully."

She sure is beautiful; she is really slim and smallish for someone with such a sassy attitude; she had bold eyes like SpongeBob, a tiny nose, and tiny lips; plus, she's black just like me.

Sheesh, she's a senior?

She doesn't seem like a proper lady to me.

I simply nodded and followed the girl, who grabbed my luggage as soon as I walked in.

She halted at a well-laid twin bed.

"Hi, my name is Catherine, but everyone calls me Katie. We're going to be best friends; I can feel it." She said it with a broad smile.

Creepy. I thought as I shrugged uncomfortably.

She wore casual trousers and a V-necked blue top, which everyone else in the room wore.

She's also really pretty.

She helped me unpack and arrange all my things.

The other girls came and introduced themselves as Maya and Zaya.

Twins.

Finally, as anticipated, it was time for bed. I was extremely tired, and I slept immediately.

*****************

I felt something cool drop on my face; I was way into my satisfying sleep, so I ignored it.

A few more drops

Splashhhh.

I sprang up from my bed to see the lady who showed me to my room holding a bucket.

"Follow me immediately."

And as drenched as a bird just beaten by rain, I followed sluggishly till we were out of the room, and I was shocked to see the girls from each of the rooms all lined up and fully dressed in their uniforms; I almost mistook them for angels.

No! I'm not exaggerating.

As soon as I recovered from my shock, I heard giggles and whispers everywhere.

"Go down and give me 20," she said.

"Huh, you need 20 bucks?" Oh, no need to go down for that, if I could just go into...

Grab.

She grabbed me by the neck.

I was so... not scared.

I mean, I'm the one and only Jeanne Brown.

Now the hallway was filled with laughter.

"Silence!" she yelled, and order was restored. I didn't find anything funny; was there some kind of inside joke?

"Go down and give me twenty pushups, you moron."

Me?

Lmao

Push ups?

No way.

I'm not a sporty person, like, not in the slightest.

Yes, I said I get into fights.

I never said I would win them.

Someone has to lose.

and that someone was always me.

"I said go down and give me twenty pushups," she yelled even louder.

Swiftly, I went down and began; it took me about a minute to do even one.

"Ava, you're her room senior. Make sure she finishes."

"Yes, ma'am," she screamed, like the lady wasn't standing right in front of her.

What is even wrong with these people?

Every single pushup felt like I was a step closer to death.

Why didn't anyone wake me up?, Why didn't little Miss's "going to be best friends" wake me up?

I'm already hating this silly school.

After what seemed like an eternity, I was finally done.

Ava left for class after telling me to get ready and go to class too.

I took a nice long shower; all my body ached, and then I put on my uniform, purposely taking my time.

I stepped out of the door and walked less.

than ten steps before realizing I didn't know which way to go.

I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see a lady.

I hate talking to people who have glasses on; they seem like know-it-alls, and this lady wore one.

This time, I really needed her help.

"Hello Jeanne," she said slowly, reading my name tag. Why are you still in the dormitory block at this time?

'I'm kinda lost ma'am'

"I see, what year are you in?"

"First year"

"Follow me"

We went down about seven sets of stairs on each floor, each looking exactly like the previous one. There's no way I'm getting lost again.

I can't believe I walked up these stairs yesterday without knowing; it's not possible.

We walked past the courtyard and two blocks, and finally we arrived at a block not as tall as the previous ones.

A large board read "freshmen's block."

"Here we are, Jeanne," she said, smiling.

"I completely appreciate it."

My body was already giving up on me as I walked into a classroom and sighted Katie; she waved and pointed to a chair right next to hers.

I walked slowly, and I couldn't feel my legs anymore. I felt dizzy, staggered a little, and then I fell.

I heard Katie scream my name and screams all around until it faded slowly.

I passed out.
