Shannon

The dance was a mess. It seemed a girl had fainted and everyone was afraid that they could have something in their drinks as well. I decided to leave, since it was no longer fun and most of the people had left.
I decided to go look for my room. It was something around the 300's but I didn't remember the number exactly. My luggage was still at the reception, waiting for me to get it.
I decided to knock on the doors. I knocked fist on the room 301 and I walked in on two people dancing.

Adam

me and Chris had had a nice time until Matt came. Christ I would of bought his car back and it would of been fine. I still felt nervous as I knocked on his door or though that could of be the after affect of the weed. Matt opened the door as I opened the door his face stiffened. "Look Matt I'm sorry, I know it was bad of me too steal your car and shit but you know I was trying to impress a girl , you would of done the same thing". Matt laughed "no I wouldn't Adam because I have a car but yeah against my better judgement I'm gonna say were cool".
"Thanks brev oh and sorry about what happened to May Jocks are assholes, I'm sure we'll get them back anyway" Matt laughed a dry laugh as I walked up to 302 "eventually" he said.

*Shauni: Is Shannon new? I'm confused since you say the luggage is waiting and she doesn't know her room number but you didn't post a profile. Oh well. I'll post like she is new.*

I was deeply tired but it seemed like everyone else was still up and running. I decided to just lay there and listen to the sounds that the people around me made. Dad has always said I have a good ear not only for music but for anything else. I could hear people dancing, talking, and knocking on doors. The last one intrigued me.
"Can you help me find my room?" Someone said. I felt my heart illeviate (sp?) a little at the thought of another new person. She didn't know anybody and I didn't either. Maybe we could be friends. Maybe.
I listened carefully. The voices in return, I don't think I met. They were a boy and girl.
"Uh, well I'm a little busy right now....as you can see. But if you need help, I think Alyse is in her room. She could help you. Oh yeah, I'm Marianne." Marrianne said.
"This is Chad."
"Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to walk in on you guys. But ok, is Alyse's room just down the hall?" The first voice said.
"Yeah, and what is your name?" Marrianne asked.
"Shannon." Shannon said.
The door closed and I realized that she would be coming my room. But Alyse was with Tony on the couches. Before I could think about it any more, a girl peered into the room.
"Are you Alyse?" Shannon asked.
"No, I'm Leighton. I'm her roommate. I'm new too." I said.

I silently made a silent thank you to God for letting me talk to another human being without stammering. Three whole sentences. Yes.

*Yes she is new. Her profile is in either page 13 or 14*

(*writewatiwant* already said it, so check it out, if you want it...)

Shannon

I quickly realized that those two had a thing.
"Can you help me find my room?" I said.
"Uh, well I'm a little busy right now....as you can see. But if you need help, I think Alyse is in her room. She could help you. Oh yeah, I'm Marianne." Marianne said.
"This is Chad." She pointed to a bery good looking guy.
Lucky girl, you got a good one...
"Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to walk in on you guys. But ok, is Alyse's room just down the hall?" I asked.
"Yeah, and what is your name?" Marianne asked.
"Shannon." I said.
Well, i think this year is gonna be very low in dates, everybody has already someone, except from me... Oooo, LUCKY ME!! (this is terrible...)
I walked into Alyse's room and I knocked at the door. A girl opened it and I asked.
"Are you Alyse?"
"No, I'm Leighton. I'm her roommate. I'm new too." The girl answered.
"Oh, so this room is already full, i guess..."
"Yes, I filled the spot."
Oh good! What a great school beginning: First a girl fainted in the "prom", then I interrupted a couple who "supposedly" were trying to have a "special night",then I know that one of the too rooms I had available is full. Now, what should I do? I have to go to the reception, ask for information.
"Okay, I see I have to go to the reception. Thanks and it was a pleasure meeting you. I hope we can meet again soon."
"Ah, yeah, me too. See ya..." Leighton said in a low voice, I almost couldn't hear her.

I went to the reception and asked for information.
" Well, we only have one room left. It's the 302" The old lady said as she cleaned her glasses.
"Thanks for the help" I simply answered. I was so tired that I couldn't even say something proper to that woman. The words just simply bumbled from my mouth.

Again, I went back to the dorms area. I tried to listen anything from the dorm that indicated that they were on they private moment, I even picked the keyhole, trying to see something but all I got was some loving sentences and a all-lovey environment.
This is going to last. I'll better wait here.
I sit next to the dorm with my luggage near me. I rest my head on one of my bags and waited. I soon fell asleep.

*Oh dear...I wan't online yesterday, and this thread has virtually doubled in size since then! As I don't have the time to read what I've missed, could somebody PM me a brief summary of what's happened so far? Assuming Fred hasn't been mentioned, we'll say he decided to take a nap beforehand, resulting in him oversleeping and missing everything that's happened.

*Yeah, everything is complicates here, i'm kinda lost too...*

Dad always said unforunate events can somehow pull people closer together. I was tired but I had yet to close my eyes. I figured that Alyse was never coming back up. It was a little lonely and rejecting to have an empty bed next to you. I wanted to fix that. No one should sleep in the halls and I could tell from the distant snores that Shannon was doing just that. Poor girl.
I figured that I was doing myself good by getting up anyhow to make me tired, so I went ahead and walked down the hall to where Shannon was lying down. Outside Marianne's dormroom.
I poked her.
"Hey, uh, I'm not sure if Alyse is coming back up so if you want you can sleep in our room." I said.
She looked at me with half open eyes, and wearily nodded.
Good. Its a start. I wonder how Alyse is going to feel.
I helped her up and we walked together back to the room. My room, I guess.
"Uh, I guess you can sleep on the floor. I don't know if Alyse would want you on her bed." I said, to no one in particular.
It was in vain. Shannon had already collapsed onto the floor by my bed.
I found myself yawning again and since it didn't feel like I was the only one in bed anymore I found it more confortable to sleep.
I did feel a tang of jealousy though. Nearly every girl here had a guy. Marianne was off dancing, Alyse was on the couch, and all the other people were probably out doing who knows what. I wondered how the dance went. Contrary to what May said, I don't think I would have liked it. No guy would want to dance with me.
At that, I closed my eyes and went to sleep. Finally.

May~~

"Wait! Matt.." I called after him as he was literally half way out the door. He spun around slowly and leaned against the door frame.

"Yep?"

"Do you know.." I dragged off, "I mean are related to ..?" I couldn't get it out and I smiled to hide it. He looked at me closely.

"You know what? Never mind.." I mumbled.

"Night!" I said and smiled.

He looked at me, puzzled, and walked out. "Night." he smiled and waved.

*By the way are we ever actually going to school*

*Well, yah. Its the dance, my friend. We will head to the school -points- when the dance est fini! That is actually soon, but Damar... what day is it in the Boarding School world?*

*Ditto Amon. I was looking at past posts trying to find out...what day is it? Can we go to school tomorrow? Also, not to sound domineering but uh shouldn't the next post should be "tomorrow morning"? What time is it anyways? I had the impression it was like 10:30pm or so*

I slowly awoke. It was only now that i realized i had had one beer to many last night. Though i came off fine i was actually very wasted, but with the combo of my acting skills and having been to a few keg parties i could pull off sober. I hoped out of my room and chuckled. collapsed on the coach were Alyse and Tony sleeping holding each other. i let them be and hoped in the shower. Then quickly got out and changed. He checked his watch, it was seven and classes would start in an hour so i woke up Tony and Alyse.
