(Chapter 1)
K so I had this FREAKING AWSOME dream and this is what it was about ^-^ enjoy!
Also a lot of people had alternative names KAT=KATELYN, KAY=KELLI, ARTIMIS=TAYLER, KYLIE=KAITLIN, JAY=JACQUIE and GILLIAN I pronounced your name like I used to when I couldn't say it right -.-
"Bah-na-na-na-na. Nah-na-na-na-NA-NA! Bun-na-na-NA-NA-NAAAA! BINK!" Kat was -half- woken up by the piano version of The Entertainer. Her hand, instinctively felt around for the white object, that was making the noise.
She grumbled as the song switched to the louder, trumpet version.
She finally found the little cell phone as the ringer was about to stop. Kylie? She looked at the screen. Why was she calling? She flipped open the phone, pushing a button, making it beep and put the phone up to her ear.
"…Hello…" She said tiredly
"Don't tell me you just woke up!" the energetic voice on the other line said
"…yah?" she slowly responded
"…Kat" Kylie said disbelived
Her reply was some kind of "Uhg-um" sound
"Its orientation day."
Kats eyes jerked open and her body switched to and upright position in bed. "WHY DIDNET YOU TELL ME!"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE UP!"
Kat got out of bed and started fumbling round in her closet.
"Don't forget to put on the simplest thing you've got!" Kylie said now on speakerphone.
"I KNOW THAT!"
(About ten minutes later)
"Wow Kat you're so unfit." Artimis smirked
"Shut up!" Kat huffed running over to her rude friends. She had on a slightly baggy, beige t-shirt and a pair of jean shorts. Her plain black bag was also hunched over her shoulder. Everyone was wearing an outfit similar to this too but with different sizes and colored shirts and some people were wearing jeans "I just ran all the way from my house!"
"You only live up the street…" Artimis commented
"Don't be too hard on her" Sam said shrugging "She's got such short legs, she probly cant run all that fast!"
"Shut up!" Kat said and finally stopped running. She plopped down on the hard ground in front of them, breathing hard. The two of them we're sitting on the long, gray, concrete bench that paralleled, the cafeteria door way. "Wares everyone else" she asked. Not that she expected to see everyone she knew but there were only them and maybe 12 other kids, waiting to go in.
"Their splitting us up into groups" Artimis told her "By social standings, believe it or not."
Kat sighed. Why'd she have to be poor?
"So do you think that means not as many people in our group will get important roles?" Sam asked, worried.
Artimis shrugged "Don't know."
"All right guys!" an old but rather commanding voice sounded "Time to go in!"
The three girls entered the cafeteria to find it magically redone. The room was dark. Large, red curtains were draped across the ceiling and flowed down to the ground from the left and right walls. The ground was covered in grass, with little mossy rocks and teal glowing mushrooms popping out of it. The large trees, that scattered the room and clung to the curtained walls held tiny little glowing lanterns, giving the room just enough light to see. Set up on the wall directly across from them was a projector looking screen with even more curtains draped around it; it was faintly glowing like the mushrooms.
The round tables that were set up with foldable chairs looked out of place in this environment. Kat stifled a laugh.
"Take a seat everyone" a nice sounding, middle aged women's voice, projected from the speekerless room. Everyone looked around for ware the voice could have been coming from but they saw no one. They obediently sat down.
Kat, Sam and Artimis took to a table where two people already sat. Once everyone was seated the lanterns on the trees darkened and figures appeared on the screen.
Kat sat back in her chair unimpressed.
Artimis's eyes went wide.
Sam let out a gasp and said quietly in shock "It's the old council!"
"What-" Kat asked but was cut off by random shushes from other tables. She made a little angry face at them, slid her chair back and plopped her legs down on the cheap foldable in front of her.
"They're the first ever council Kat!" Sam told her with quiet urgency "You know the first higher ups!"
Kat didn't move from her position but her eyes lit up.
"Welcome everyone!" that nice lady's voice came again. This time it was coming from the projector display.
The picture on the large screen looked like it was covered with a blue sheet. It looked like a still painting of seven dark shadows standing behind a table. The lady who was once standing in the center of the group started to lurch forward. A few deep breaths were taken as the beautiful women came into view. She was wearing a red dress that laced up the front with poofy shoulders. Her hair was done in elegant black ringlet curls and she had a small silver crown that was pinned crookedly on the top of her head.
Many of the girls in the room gaped and a few guys blushed.
"Welcome to your assigning day!" she said "I'm sad to inform you that no one in this group had the role of the queen but we do how ever have one of another persuasion." (A/N: Idk what exactly that means but that's how she stated it.) "Hatter?" she turned and started back for the table. When she was back in her position another figure who was tilting his immense hat began to move.
A man came into view. He had a long, tan, kind face that was a little beaten up. Brown hair stuck out in all directions from his hat handmade looking hat. "Would Kat (insert last name hear) please stand."
All eyes went to her. Kat quickly tried to pull her feet down to the ground but in doing so she flipped over the entire table and her own chair. The chair and table clattered, loudly. The small candle that was once sitting on the foldable, shattered on the ground. Kat blinked a few times in her crouched position and then immediately stood up "I'M HERE!" she raised her hand.
The Hatter smirked "Yes I can see -and hear- that you are indeed here."
A few people giggled a bit and Artimis sighed for her friend.
Sam smiled.
"Kat," The Hatter said addressing her "The duty of the Hatter requires the holder to look at things in a whole new perspective. You must not sway at other people's words and you must stay strong to your own opinion. Above all else you must be as elegantly insane as a hatter!" the man smirked "Do you accept this role my dear?"
Kat completely ignored the insane part and thought to herself I'm elegant?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW XD
