Anastasia Anderson watched the black Cadillac speed away , as it blew the dust behind her.
So , this was it. This was her parents goodbye. Sending her into a boarding school , with no intention of contact. Heck , she was 17. She didn't want to face the world alone. She could barely walk on a flat surface without tripping!
She thought of shifting her shape and just running like hell , but something stopped her. Oh right. She was tired of running.
She still put on a brave face as she faced the huge board on the ancient school building. "Clarion Academy" , she murmured to herself before taking a deep breath.
Sucky name , Anna thought but shrugged. She walked slowly towards a sign marked "Principal's Office".
She smoothed her plaid skirt , before knocking 4 times.
"Come in.." , a voice responded before she pushed the door open , seeing a girl sitting on a chair , talking to who must have been the principal.
"Come on.. Em.. I can't cover for you forever.." , The man argued to the blonde girl , who was sulking in a chair.
"It's boring , Dean!"
"I don't care!"
"Uh-huh!" , Anna cleared her throat before the man and the girl looked at girl had startling blue eyes , complete with blonde hair , she looked like a rugged version of a Barbie doll , something straight out of G.I Jane.
"Hello! Anastasia Anderson! A pleasure to meet you! I'm principal Dean Winchester!" , the man introduced himself , promptly standing up from his chair to come over an shake her hand. His eyes were green , and his hair was brown , which kind of matched her own short , brown hair , and green - grey eyes.
This man was freaking gorgeous , was all she could think. Under normal circumstances , she would have tried (and failed) to flirt with him , but this man was the principal so she just beat her inner voice with a fist.
"And may I introduce Emma Ostilly?She's been in the school for many years now. She'll take you on a tour of the school!"
The girl , Emma , didn't took too thrilled , but shrugged as she stood up from her seat , and offered a polite smile.
"Let's go , shall we? What room are you in?" , she asked and Anna hastily took out the slip of paper she had been given and declared , "420".
Suddenly the girl flew out of her chair , In a standing position.
Emma's eyes widened as her blue eyes were more prominent now. "Hey! You're my roommate! That is awesome! Here , let me help you with that" , she said gesturing towards Anna's bag , and picking a black one up out of the total 4. She seems less hostile , more excited now. Dean was watching this exchange with curious eyes
"Let's go!" , Emma said and the Principal smiled and waved goodbye before they started to walk towards their room. "So , Emma" , she started but Emma waved a hand. "It's Em , please.."
"Are you a full time boarder too?" , she asked curiously and Emma nodded her head. "Yeah.. My parents.." , she trailed off before shrugging. "It's complicated. Yours?"
"Complicated" , Anna gave a small smile. "Call me An"
"Here!" , Emma abruptly stopped before a wooden door with the numbers 420 printed neatly on them.
She pushed open the door with her leg , and they both entered the room. It was neatly split into two parts with individual beds , and a study table each.
While her part was empty with just a simple wooden bed , Emma's was fully decorated with all sorts of sketches and posters. There was even a poster of "Skyfall" , the new James Bond movie she had managed to see a commercial for in her spare time.
She picked up a design , looking at the details. It appeared to be some sort of taser. It was , unfortunately , unfinished.
Anna looked back at Emma , who was standing behind her , and her lips were pursed.
"I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to intrude.." , Anna said and Emma smiled. "No need. I like designing stuff. Mostly technology. However , I have a very short attention span. Like a goldfish!" , she laughed and continued "So I can never really finish one.." , she concluded and picked up a few pieces of paper , dumping them in her desk drawer and placing Anna's bag on her bed.
"You wanna go out? I could show you the school" , she suggested and Anna blinked quizzically and cocked her head to one side and Emma rolled her eyes. "Sunday , Anna. No classes. We're allowed to hang out in the school"
Anna declined althought she sensed the blonde was grouchy at that. She stared arranging her her bags on the bed. After a while ,Emma announced she was bored and Anna could do the arranging later. Anna rolled her eyes at the blonde , already liking her.
They went outside , and Anna noticed The school grounds were huge. The size of 2 football fields , easily.
The sky was clear , and Anna found herself relaxing in the soft breeze. It wasn't too sunny , nor too cold.
"Its nice , isn't it?" , Emma asked as they started walking towards an Oak tree. Anna thought it was all going to be okay. As usual , she was dead wrong.
