*Cool. Sorry for sabotaging the storybook with little comments! Uhh, I look in the past posts what room number I'm in then lol In the mean time, I'll have some kind of counselor come greet Leighton. haha*
I swam some more and drank the darkness, "Principessa.." i heard some one whisper, I swam closer, "Principessa!" My eyes fluttered open and I shot up,
"Where the fu** are they?!" I shot my fist in the air, I wasn't usually this violent towards people, I softened, "No what?"
Revvie looked towards me, his dark hair covering one eye and he nodded that he was listening.
"I should be happy I'm not waking up next to one of those limp-" Revvie put his hand over my mouth and motioned to the nurse coming through the door.
"How's she feeling?"
"Im fine and chipper and I can go back to my room like right now?" I wanted to recolor my hair as soon as possible this blonde stuff was not gonna cut it.
She looked at me over her clipboard, "So you can thank your room mates?"
"What?" I looked toward Revvie and he shrugged.
"Alyse and Tony I think! And another lovely girl named Maria!" He smiled and I smiled softly back. I loved those people, "And that sexy friend of yours made an appearance!" I blushed
I staggered out of the bed and towards the window, I smirked and then it faded when Revvie pulled me back.
"No May," He wagged his finger at me, "You may NOT jump out of any windows anytime soon." I rolled my eyes.
"No fun.." I whispered and I staggered out of the room, Revvie tried to help me but I brushed him off.
"Im fine." and I smiled a little smile.
"Where is everyone else?" I asked
"Well your obvious interest is looking for his car," I hated Revvie for his Reading people skills and I blushed redder.
We finally made it back to the dorm room and laid out on the couches.
The one who smiles the most has something to hide.
..i'm lonely...message me..some how add me on your social networking site (unless you are some creepy weirdo who stalks girls for their organ harvesting company..i personally like them inside of me thankyou )
*I cant say anything definate about Matt and May either, its a lil complicated for us, but we are deciding what we want to do. Everyone in the story doesnt know that.

Tony started laughing. He bent over and nearly had to sit down. Alyse looked at him and frowned, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, no, it's just," he calmed him self, "You hide it well. I know your sick. Serious or not running around wouldn't be a good idea. Besides, it'll only get colder. What do you say just heading back inside and hanging out for a bit?"
She nodded and smiled, "Not much gets by you huh?"
"I'm just good at reading things, I thought that you might be sucking it up since we started at the dance. I appreciate it, but I'd like to hang out with you in the near future, not have you incompasitated or something." He was just joking with her and she knew it.
Suddenly a voice came from behind them, "Excuse me, um, I'm looking for my dorm."
They turned to see a girl standing behind them. A late comer, thought Tony, "Alright, which dorm is it?"
As she read it Alyse gasped a moment, "Your in the same room as me? I guess your my other roommate."
Tony scoffed in surprise, "Really. Here," he went over and helped her with her bags,"We'll take you to the room. Someone over here needs to rest." He motioned towards Alyse as he smiled and started off. "I'm Tony by the way. Nice to meet your acquaintance."
Alyse hurriedly caught up. She was still in bare feet. "I'm Alyse, by the way, and I really don't need a rest. He's a little delireous. Too much red dye in the punch. Anyways, I'm glad I finally have a room mate!" Alyse chuckled, the coughed, the chuckled. And she just went into a seal-like coughing fit.
"You know, you should probably get that checked out," Tony said, lugging the girl's bags up stairs.
"I'm Leighton by the way," The girl said quitely when they finally made it to Alyse's room. Alyse coughed, but held open the door for Leighton and Tony. Alyse noticed the guitar pick she wore around her neck.
"Do you play? I do, as well. Piano and violin, though, nothing cool."
Alyse flicked on a few lights, turned on the TV. A movie was playing. It was some horror film from the seventies. "Make yourself comfortable. There's still a million rooms to fill up, so choose any. Just don't choose mine, its a bit messy!"
Alyse said, rummaging through the cupboards for something to take. She found some cough syrup and took a spoonful. She twisted her face in disgust at the awful taster. "Yuck," She stuck out her tongue. Now where did Tony go...?

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.
Just as I expected, it took me close to a million rounds of going up and down stairs to my dormroom. I guess my roommate was some girl named Alyse. After I got all my stuff organized, I plopped down on my new bed. I wondered if I was going to get a proper greeting or anything. There seemed to be no one in the building.
But then, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. The staggeredness of it, was vaguely familiar. How the steps seemed random and not in a concrete one beat after another. The person was coming this way, I could tell.
I was crossed between sitting in my room in silence or actually starting my life in this boarding school with a good foot. I chosed the former. Though, I don't think I had much of a choice.
"Hello?" A girl with blonde hair staggered into the room. I regretted that I had the door open. I like the night and its sounds so its a habit.
"Are you the new girl? Oh, Alyse is going to be so happy!" She said, walking over to me.
"I'm May." She said, sticking out her hand. I just stared at her.
"And you are?"
"Leighton. Leighton Perry." I said, reluctantly. Obviously my demeanor wasn't scaring this gal off. Darn.
"Awesome! Oh! You're probably wondering where the heck everybody is." May said.
"Well, they're at a dance. You should of came yesterday! Then you would have had a chance to get a date!" May said excitedly yet with a yawn. I wanted to ask her why she wasn't at the dance but frankly all her chatter was making me sick. All I wanted to do was go over my song again. I could almost hear my guitar calling my name.
"Well, uh, thanks for the welcome..." I said, looking down at my feet.
"No prob! I would stay longer but I'm really tired right now. More people should be coming around later." May said.
At that, she skipped out of the room and I was left with the sound of crickets. And my guitar. I expected that no one would come around so I opened my mouth to sing.
Tony plopped himself on the couch and let out a big sigh. He set his jacket over the arm, took off his tie and unbuttoned the first button on his shirt, "Much better. I like dressing up, but sometimes comfortable is better than looking nice."
"I agree." Alyse took a seat next to Tony and they watched as Leighton chose a room.
"Wonder why she's late?" Tony let out a quick yawn and shrugged it off, "So she and Matt play the guitar, then there's you and Ryan who play piano and maybe more. I got Jack. I can run a long ways, whoopie for me."
Alyse let out a small laugh, but let out a cough right after, "I'm sorry, I don't want to get you sick."
"Don't worry about it. I'll be fine." Leighton walked back into the room.
*This is what happens when it takes me 20min or more to post....thanks guys for including me! anyways, just make it that my convos with May came before Alyse and Tony. So, basically Tony doesn't help me with the bags because they're already up there. Everything else stands.*

My roommate seemed ok. I wanted so badly to sing again but she was there and I had to be nice. Or atleast try to. That's what Dad would of wanted me to do.
"So, you're musical too! Uh, are there any other, uh, musical...people, here?" I stammered. I silently cursed myself for sounding like an idiot. Talking to people isn't really my forte.
"Yep. Matt plays guitar and so does another guy. We do have a musical bunch!" She said, sitting next to Tony on the couch.
"Ha, you went ahead-" she coughed, "and stayed in my room!" She said, excitedly.
"Yeah, you seem like a nice person." I said, trying to smile, and sat next to her.
She laughed and coughed.
I really do want to have a friend. Its just so hard. I patted myself on the back for making an effort. Maybe my new life wouldn't be the same.

Alyse let out a yawn. She covered her mouth quickly after. "Sorry," cough-cough. "I guess I'm pooped."
She stared at the cheesy movie playing on TV. A lake monster-- as really badly dressed on, made of plastic and fabric-- was emerging from a lake. A girl who looked almost like her twin was screaming and running away, but was soon caught. Alyse let out a chuckle.
"Um, sorry. I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at how weird it is that us two-- that girl on TV-- look the same. Maybe one day I'll be attacked by a lake monster."
"I somehow highly doubt that." Tony smiled.
They sat in silence for some time, then she let out her usual drawn-out sigh. "You know, you are cool. You know that, right? Much cooler than me. And you're much harder to read than me, the open book. I'd trade everything that I could do now to be like you. To be able to hide my emotions. If you haven't noticed"-- Alyse pretended to lean in and whisper-- "I hate feeling powerless. Weak. And besides. I'm not amazing at track, or music. I think my teacher hates me, but my dad paid him alot to make him teach me," Alyse gave a half-hearted half-smile. "You seem smart, anyways. That's good. I'm not academically talented, really. I don't have a life. My dad wants me to be a doctor. Like that'll ever happen with my brains."
Alyse paused to cough, and grabbed a pillow, hugging it tightly. "So there's the story of my life. What about you?" She looked inquiringly at Tony, but still couldn't really pick up on his emotion. There was a scream on the television. Alyse jumped in surprise.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.
I silently got up from the couch as Tony and Alyse started talking. I felt so awkward there, sitting next to them. And lonely.
Something deep down inside, did want me to start over and actually be a "normal teen" with friends. I just didn't know how. With people around, I couldn't play guitar.
Then, I realized that it would probably be harder to skip school now just to play. I could sense a "community" here so I knew I couldn't stay invisible for long.
I let a yawn roll out of my mouth and made my way back to my new room. As I laid my head on my pillow, I thought about if I could get any friends here or even someone more.
I went back to the bathroom, yawning. Alyse and Tony didn't notice e as I walked past the super awesome girl wasn't there anymore, I wanted to talked to her She seemed cool. She seemed like one of the girls who liked to "fade into the background" I smiled, I was gonna fix that. I pulled off the long dress and stepped into the cold water that the shower head spewed. I smiled and washed my blond hair and cringed at the thought. I put my automatic browning serume in and waled out. I blew my hair dry, I thought of how i was gonna get the jocks back. I smiled at my future little prank.
I waled out and noticed Alyse and Tony, intent on not interrupting them I went to the kitchen and fixed myself a lovely dinner of microwavable food. I sighed and waited for the oven to beep.
When was Matt coming back?
I leaned my chair on only two legs and thoughts soaked in. I stuffed my face with the instant ramen, then I crashed bac onto four legs when someone walked in.

"pay attention" Adam shouted at me. Me and Matt had gotten the car back already and now i was driving the tensed Adam home.
"relax man" i said as i drummed on the steering wheel.
"just focus on the road" he said. I thought he was cool. But maybe he was just to tense in cars.
"i am" i said. I looked to him. Then taking my hands off the wheel said. "just relax i am a fine driver." I looked back and moved the wheel a second before we crashed. Eventually we made it to the campus. And i dumped Adam and went to my room. But as i went i saw Matt standing by May's room. He seemed to be wondering weather or not to go in. So to help him out i barged in.
"hey" i said. I saw Tony and Alyse on the coach. "oh sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt you to. Please continue." then i walked over to May's room, Matt close behind.
*sorry I am a wee bit late >< and Im writing as revvie because lizzifer wanted me to (for I am her eternal slave)*
Name: Leonardo D’abrazzo De Clementine "Revvie"
Age: 16 (acts a little older thoguh sometimes)
Appearance: Straight black hair that he combs over one eye, looks casual but packs a punch. He is skinny and wears straight skinny pants all the time, he also is very tall. Has an unreadable face.
Persona: Very "active", he compliments May's spazztic nature. he tries to hide it most of the time and sometimes seems "bipolar". He tried to keep May out of troupble so her parents dont' place her in an asylum. He is very serious and can't lie to save his life.
History: May and her father found him as an orphan stealing from them in Venice. They too him in after that.
As soon as I got back I ran to the nurses office, but May had just left, so I went to her room. I stopped in my room to throw off my mask, but then I was standing at the door.
I thought about knocking, but decided against it and just opened the door.
Tony saw me come in, "She's in the kitchen."
I nodded and went in. She was eating ramen. I let out a sigh when I saw her. She looked a little pale but she seemed fine.
I was to relieved to notice the shocked look on her face. I walked over to the table and fell into a chair.
"How are you?"
She smiled, "I'm good. Sorta feel like jumping out a window but-" She shrugged.
My face must have gone pale when she mentioned jumping out a window because she laughed, "Im not that bad off! And I know what I'm doing."
I sighed, "What are we going to do with you?"
She shrugged, "I wont be as crazy as normal for a while. My dad sent some of out servants to spy on me." Her mouth turned down on the word servant.
I stood up, "Well, you seem fine, so I'm gonna go back to my room. I'll see you in the morning. Then I turned to leave.

Chad and I started dancing. His warmth lingered under my arms, as my breath slowed down. His arms surrounded me, in a pure gesture of affection. I looked up to see his radiant smile. His tempting lips stared at me. I closed slowly.
*sorry it's short but I'm at school right now*
Piglet: How do you spell love? Pooh: You don't spell it. You feel it.
