Boarding School: The Next Generation

I followed Avaline to where she was standin next to the elavator. We were about to get in when we saw Ilisa and Cornelia coming in with their clothes all wet and a bunch of things in their hands.
"What happened to you" Avaline asked them with shock in her voice and staring at them from top to bottom. "and why are you bringing in all those stuff"
"We just came out of the rain and guess what..."Cornelia began saying eagerly
"We bought many things" Iclisa said and got her hand ina plastic bag and took out too sandwiches wrapped in plastic. She handed each one of us a sandwich.
"I hope you are hungry"she said walking away and heading toward Brennan.
I unwrapped the sandwich and took a bite. It was good,: turkey, mayonese,mustard. I notice Avaline watching me.
"It's good"I said smiling. We waited until the elevator came down and we finally got in. She pressed the twelfth botton and the elevator started going up to the twelfth floor. It took us like one minute, a minute I felt like an eternity. especially because Avaline didn't say a word, she even looked a little worried. She looked all over the elevator and fidgeted with her hands. I wan't of much help esither since I was eating the sandwich I clisa gave me bu that didn't stop me from wondering what was wrong with her.
The elevator suddenly stopped and the elevator opened to a huge penthouse, or what it seemed to be a penthouse.It was beautiful, classy and very glamorous with huge windows and expensive furniture. It even had a small hearth. I was open-mouthed. I think I even swallowed a huge piece of my sandwich.
"welcome to my room " she said quietly,as if she was ashamed of it, and all could manage to say was wow. I looked at her and started to go in as she followed me close behind.

"Do yu tink se is hungry?" Iclisa asked as she ate her sandwhich. I shrugged as i sat down on a sofa near the bedrooom.

"I guess so..." i said a bit worried. Iclisa gave me a sandwich but i soon shook my head. Suddenly, a girl came inside wearing a cool blue t-shirt and a long pink shirt.
"Oh, hi Iclisa. There you are. How do i look like...i bought it at the store." she said eagerly before she look at me and smiled. From her face, there was something she was thinking within her smiling face.

"Oh hi...Mykolas isn't it." she said as she sat down beside Iclisa who was still eating her sandwhich with her eyes around the room.

"Yes...so you're the gilr with the heavy luggage." she nodded her head.

"Yeah...thanks, anyway. I do not know how to do it without you. Thanks." she offered her hand and i shook it and welcomed her.

"So this is your room? pretty nice...who's your-"

just beore she finished her sentenced, the light suddenly went out. It must a lighting shock that disrupt the electricty.

"EVerybody, form in lines! I want check that everybody is here!" Iclisa suddenly exclaimed. I wanted to calm down but she added.

"What are you waiting for! Stand up and form a line! In three seconds, my orders must be answered!" Cornelia was about to resist but soon followed to and i followed her as well.

"She's weird." i said.
"Don't worry," Cornelia said, "If you get to know her, she's not half bad."
"Silence!" Iclisa ordered like a drill sergeant, "Okay...Mykolas, check. Cornelai, check. Now, i want everybody to stay here while i round up Violet and the others nearby!"

we stood firm as Iclisa went to Violet's room leaving us behind standing on the dark waiting for her next orders.

Jonathan

"Kyleigh?" He called as the lights went out. "Ed?"

"Yeah?" They both answered, finding their ways back into the living room.

"Good. Anyone got any matches or a lighter?" He asked.

"Hold on," Ed grunted, rummaging through something. He lighted the match and lit a candle.

"Thanks," Jonathan sighed. He hated the dark. Not being able to see what was going on...it reminded him to much of his past homes.

"Some storm," he sighed. "Never got them this bad back in Maine."

Ed shrugged a little. "Just a storm," he replied.

Jonathan squirmed a little. Ed was...different. He couldn't figure him out. Jonathan smiled. He would eventually.

Bethany

The thunder cracked in the air. She smiled. Bethany had always loved storms. Mel, on the other hand, was agitated.

"David, could you just take us already?" She asked, rain had already drenched us halfway. We were crowded side by side, on the building wall, trying to keep dry.

"Aw, c'mon, it's not that bad," Beth laughed. "Just a little water."

She stepped out in the rain. It was cold, but she still remembered the times she used to dance in the rain as a little girl. Her dad would yank her back inside, still, she loved to do it anyway.

Shane raised an eyebrow at her, but smiled. Beth's heart fluttered. Hopefully she didn't see her as the weird little girl everyone else saw. It was too much to hope for. She would never change for anyone, not even Shane, she could only hope he felt the same about her. Then, as he glanced at Mel again, her hopes sank down to her stomach again. Of course not. She was only another pot dealer to him.

"So are we ready?" Beth asked, plastering a smile on her face. Her hair was sinking to her face and back now, but she didn't care. It was nice to be out in the rain.

Avaline Delancy


Just as I was about to enter the elevator, the doors slid open, revealing Brennan and Jackie.
“Jackie?” I asked, startled. “Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you.”
“Looking for you,” She rolled her eyes sarcastically, Brennan and his ferret following close behind.
“Hey there, Frenchy.” He said, smiling smugly.
I glared at him, and the two of us continued with our telepathic battle for ten more seconds. Jackie stood at the sidelines, her laughter muffled by her hand.
“So we’re going to meet his sister? Wanna come?” Jackie asked, a bit unsettled.
I looked down at my outfit, the corners of my mouth twitching. I was still wearing a night shirt.
Understanding immediately, Jackie sent Brennan away so we could go up to my room.
Before we hopped on the elevator, Cornelia and Iclisa exited, soaking wet. They brought food, though. Wrapped sandwiches, and they handed one to each of us.
Bidding them goodbye, Jackie and I hopped on the elevator.
Though the elevator whizzed up at its usual speed, the ride up seemed longer, suspenseful. Jackie unwrapped her sandwich, taking bites of it as we rhode up. I said nothing, my fists clenched at my sides, sweat forming on my brow. I’d never shown anyone my room before.
The second we reached the twelfth floor, I typed in the pass code and the doors slid open, revealing my room. Jackie gasped.
“Welcome to my room,” I said, my voice only a whisper.
Sparing me, Jackie didn’t say much about the room other than the occasional smile or “wow.”
I curled my hair real quick and changed into a yellow blouse, a skirt, and a beret.
[spoiler][/spoiler]
After that, Jackie and I headed back downstairs to meet with Brennan.

Violet~~

Wandering aimlessly, quilt draped around myself, I felt my eyeliner running down my face. Tears soaking my black v neck shirt. I wandered about the apartment, lighning hadn't struck in a while and the power was out making the windowless room pitch black. It was pointless calling for help for the walls were thick and filled with cement. I jumped behind the couch when the door opened, reveavling a shadow with a flashlight.

"Violet?" Desmond's voice echoed through out the room.

Thunder rumbled and lightning struck, illuminating my bedroom's window, for the door was open. I ran towards him and his light. The flashlight being knocked out when I of course ran into him.

"Afraid of the dark?" Desmond laughed.

My knees went weak when another chain of thunder rumbled, making me callapse to the ground with the weight of the quilt.

"Violet are you ok?" Demond bent down to catch me, his voice worried.

Tears were running down my face even more because someone came and found me. I hugged Desmond despite not knowing him all that well.

Iclisa

I came inside Violet's room and saw Desmond and Violet togetehr somewhat hugging. I pointed my light towards them as they covered their face.

"Violet!ceck and ..." i paused not knowing the other guys name, "Al of yu folow me! ur sation pont is by the livin rom!" i oredered them. Theyw ere about to say something but i held my palm before myslef to stop them.

"In tree secods, i wat my oders to be anwered! Or 50 pusups sall be pemitted" they paused but soon followed

We walked though the dark room and i found Cornelia and Mykolas sitting togetehr in one sit while Violet and the new guy sat on the next. They spoke nothing. From my flashlight, Mykolas was partly looking at Violet and vice versa. Their heads were partly lowered but i did not care.

"Okay!" i exclaiemd. "Now tat everone is cler! I'll ceck for fod and lighing jus to see if everthing else is dak." I looked outside and saw that it was the same but the lights flicker. I decided to get to m room and get some food. Thatw as my mission. Oh yeah...i tap my skirt and saw that the key was safe. Mission check.

"Okay...i go to get som fod. I be bak." i ordered before i left them in silence.

Granger

I walked along the halls as the light flickered. I heard light foot steps and the humming of some music before it hit me. A girl tumbled on top of me.

"sorry" She said quickly and I helped her get up.

"no it's fine my fault, I'm Granger" I said thinking that this was the second time in one day I had been knocked over by a girl.

"thanks, I'm Mary" Mary said just as lighting struck outside and the light went out.

"shit" Mary said.

"what?" I asked.

"my room hard to find when it's light now it's dark I'll never find it" Mary said.

"bad luck, I know were my place is from here, you can stay till the light come back on" I said For a second Mary looked at me thinking if I was weird or creepy.

"sure" She said and we started walking slowly toward my room.

"I wish my roommate Jack was here, he's blind so I don't think the dark really makes a difference to him" I said just as we got to my room. I tried to fit the key in but it wouldn't go.

"this always happen at my house" I said to Mary.

"great" She said sarcastically.

"it's easy okay, you just give it a kick and it opens up" I said hoping what I was saying was true.

"fine but if it breaks it wasn't my fault" She said I nodded and on three we kicked. The door frame cracked and the lock broke off. As we walked in I saw some people gathered around a candle and a match I walked over to them, they were all staring at us.

"oh, this isn't my room" I said and Mary looked at me with a your an idiot look. By the candle light I could see Jonathan look around me.

"you broke my door" He said

"it's my door too" A girl I didn't know said but she looked pretty. Then I looked over too Ed and remembered his threatening look. I couldn't help but think, shit I broke Ed's door.

Mary

This Granger guy was leading me on a wild goose chase wasn't he? Now we stood in the doorway of someone's room where three people were staring at us. One of the guys looked mad, he had a camera sitting next to him. Hadn't I seen him earlier?

"Hey, I'm Mary." I introduced, hoping to break the tension in the room.

No one said anything. They were probably still angry about the door.

"Granger?" someone called from the hallway. Seconds later, a guy appeared in the doorway. He was wearing dark sunglasses, which was odd. We were inside and it was dark.

"Hey Jack." Granger said.

A big smile came across Jack's face. "I knew I had recognized your voice. Glad it's getting easier."

Ah, Jack. The blind roommate.

The room fell silent again, and we - except for jack - stared mindlessly at eachother.

[b]Melanie[/i]

"My problem's not the rain," I said, stepping into the pouring rain to prove my point. Suddenly, a thunder was heard, and I jumped in surprise, letting a small squeak. I did not want to show me weaknesses to everyone. Another was heard, and I jumped back near the wall and grabbed the first person I saw.

I hate thunders. A lightning would certainly strike something, and I always thought it was me or something around me. I was definitely very afraid of thunders. I would only scream if caught by surprise, because normally I would shut up and find the nearest shelter. Beth let out a small giggle.

Jonathan

"Hey Mary," he gave a weak smile. He didn't know anything about fixing doors. "I'm Jonathan."

The others introduced themselves as well. Jonathan couldn't help but feel a little bad for Granger. After all, Ed didn't look too happy about the door being broke. He didn't look like the guy you wanted to get on the bad side of. Jonathan, who had practically been raised in gangs, didn't even want to mess with him.

He looked back at Mary. She was extremely pretty. He definitely hadn't seen her since he had been here. He would have remembered.

"So, uh, care to join us by our roaring fire?" He asked, smiling a little. "Your welcome to stay here until the storms over. If you just want to go to your dorm, I'll help though," now Jonathan was really grinning. "I'm quite the expert at picking locks. You won't have to break anymore doors."

Beth

Bethany grabbed Melanie's hand. "C'mon," she laughed.

"No," Mel replied, curtly. Beth stuck her tounge out.

"Don't be a chicken. We'll be fine!" She encouarged.

"I'm not scared," she said quickly.

Beth gave her a knowing smile but let go. She wasn't going to push her into it.

"Fine," she responded, sighing. "Sorry, David, but I'm going back to the room. I'm in no condition to be going anywhere."

Beth looked down to see her dress was practically see through now. She blushed furiously.

"Another time maybe?" She asked looking at Shane quickly, then away. He didn't seeher glance, but sometimes she wished he did. Beth didn't have th courage to tell him she liked him.

Edwin Hart

Light went out. Oh great! I was sure I was going to hear lots of high screams from the girls.. I hated noise. Not knowing why, my room became the gather place for all my roommates. Great! Lots of people in a close place that I didn't even know. I was starting to shake a bit. We were sitting on my bed. Rufus snugged into me. He was scared of lighting.

BOOM!

The door clashed nd I saw someone with the foot up. It was a guy.

"What was that for?" I said angrily. as the guy stupid or what?! Couldn't he knock! It was my door! The thing that separated me form everyone else. I felt my blood heating.
"Sorry about that" He said. He looked frightened.
I closed my fist and swallow my anger.
"Fine. but you will pay the arrangement. So... what are you doing here?" I asked while I grabbed a apple.
"Humm. Granger was trying to find his room by the got wrong." A voice said. It was a feminine voice. She was in a shadow,.
"Show yourself. You don't need hide." I said.
She stepped out.
"Hi..." She said.
"Hi" We all answered.
And that was the final saying. The mood dropped and for some minutes no one talked.
"Soo... do you like waffles?" Someone asked.

Jackie
As soon as Avaline and I reached the lobby, the light went out and the storm was awful; creating so much noise that it burned my eardrum. Great, I thought, dark, everything is dark.It was early in the morning, too early for the sun to have come out completely and when it was starting to do so the storm had started so it was all dark and I hated darkness, hopefully I had someone by my side.
"Avaline"
"yes" she answered.
"Are you still here"
"Yes"
"let's look for Brennan" I said frightened.
We walked slowly toward the fountain where we had left Brennan. I was almost in shock I hated dark and we didn't even have a small flashlight. I walked wtih Avaline until I stepped into someone.
"OUch" I guy's voice sounded. A voice we both knew.
"Brennan" Avaline asked.
"Great. You spent like half an hour there and now the light's gone" His tone sarcastic.
We tried to go to the stairs when suddenly a huge thunder sounded and lightining came down right in the middle of the field of the school. Avaline let out a small scream while my green eyes popped open and I just shuddered and grab the closest hand to me with all my strenghth. We didn't say anything after that. We were frozen in the first stair when suddenly light was coming down the stairs.
"Hello?" the voice said "Is someone there" The accent. Iclisa, I thought.
"Iclisa"I asked.
"Jackie, come upstairs right now, weare all going to our room now. Get moving!" she shouted.
The three of us followed Iclisa's ordrs and went to our room. When we got there and Iclisa flashed the light toward our living room, we saw it was full, Cornelia and Mykolas were there together with another bunch of people and a girl Avaline knew whose name I think was Violet. I walked in fidgeting nervously with my dark straight hair and Brenan and Avaline went in together.

[spoiler]
She was wearing somehing like this but with black converse and a white screen tee underneath the swater.[/spoiler]

Mary

"Sure I'll join." I smiled at Jonathan, and ignoring the angry guy. I couldn't help but glance at him though, something about him was attractive...

"So anyone like waffles?" Jack asked.

Everyone looked at him oddly, until Granger realised he wouldn't be able to see us. "Uh, yeah. Why?" he finally said.

Jack shrugged. "Awkward silence, called for some waffles." He slowly made his way to join us near the candle.

"So how is everyone enjoying the first day here?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

MYKOLAS

Avaline, Jackie and some new guy apepared with Iclisa behind them with a plastic bag on one of ehr hadns.

"Okay...now tat eveyone-i tink-is her, a few instruction." she gave us a pair of sandwiches, a blanket and some torches. "STick together with a partner or something!" she announced before she sat with Jackie and quickly nimbled her sandwhich. EVen from the darkness, she acted more like a child than her old military self.

A thunder roared and some of the girls screamed except for iclisa who continue to eat with no disturbance. Cornelia lowered ehr ehad and was partlky shivering.

"Are you okay...?"
"yeah...its just thunder." she paused before she wrapped the blanket over her.
"You know what...you may not see it but i am deeply afraid of thunder." iw hispered to her honestly. "It happene when i was nearly lost on a forest."
"Really, that's terribel." i nodded as Avaline or Jackie asked Violet if she was okay.

"do you like thunder."
she shrugged, "sometimes...it just nature right. It isn't like lightning." she yawned before her head settled down on the tip of my shoulder. I guess she was sleepy. I don't blame her. My eyes were getting heavy and besides from outside it was pouring wet. From opposite us, i saw Violet's figure. SHe was sitting near a guy and i pursed my lips partly. I was still anxious if she was okay. I felt sorry for leaving her back then

"You know what?" i asked the entire people in here, "After this rain...how about we go outside?"
No one answered except for Cornelia who whispered, "that would be a good idea."

Jonathan

"Alright, I suppose," Jonathan shrugged. No one really had too much to say on the subject. I guess it had been a long day for everyone.

"C'mon," Jonathan sighed. "We're not just going to sit here in silence are we?" No one answered him and he laughed.

"Alright then," he replied. "Until then who's up for a game of truth or dare?"

**Sorry! Short **
