Reagan's New Hell
-I hope you understand why we are doing this, my baby.
Reagan wasn't even listening. She didn't care about anything that her mother was saying. She had her headphones on with all time low at the highest volume.
-Don't try to talk to her. -Said the man who was her father. –If in fifteen years we couldn't turn out her in a well behave lady. –it could be feel the bitterness in his voice. -Now is obviously out of our hands.
Reagan knew that she had done some bad things in the past. She wasn't the easiest daughter to raise, but never; even in her worst nightmares she thought that her own family would send her far away.
Ok, it was to a school, but a fucking lame school for rich kids. If someone wasn't going to belong in there, that person was Reagan.
Still you weren't doing that great at home, said a voice in the back of her head.
The time passed very fast. After a while Reagan could see a huge gate made of gold. The walls at its sides were so high like giant trees, not even a giraffe could've seen the inside of the place.
-Look at this place, Reagan. –said her mom happily. –You know this place was a castle back in the days.
It seems more like a huge prison if you ask me, Reagan thought.
Her father left her luggage on the sidewalk. –well, Regan, I really hope this place helps you. –he said without any kind of emotion in his face. Good luck.
Then he got in the car like this was nothing. Since a long time Reagan hates him, but never like this time. Some good answers came to her mind to yell at him but she decided that it wasn't worth it.
Her mom gave her a tight hug. –Please, Rae, be a good girl, please. –she was almost begging.
-I'll be, mom. –the girl answered like she always does to calm her mom.
Then she got in the car and both parents were gone of the sight in matter of seconds.
Now Reagan was alone.
-you don't have to be scared. –said a sweet voice behind her.
-Who are you! –it came out more aggressive than Reagan wanted.
-My name is Katie –she said extending her hand-, Katie Hopkins, I'm here to guide you through your first day in Hearts of Ladies the best school in the country.
Ok, this girl is dumb, Reagan thought, but seeing her again she realize she was kind of cute. She had long brown hair hold in a ponytail. Her blue eyes showed she was a serious person, but she could see also some kindness in them.
-Yeah, whatever. –Reagan answered.
-Fine. –the girl said smiling excitedly. –Then if you follow me…
They passed the gates. Katie tried to help her with her luggage but Reagan didn't let her. She could do it alone. She didn't need help of anyone.
They walked in a stone pathway; in its sides were the most beautiful flowers Reagan had seen in her life, but they were so high that Reagan couldn't see the much more through then. It was like a labyrinth. In some point Reagan swear that she heard someone laughing, but with the giants flowers everywhere it was impossible to see something else.
-Is something wrong, Reagan? –Katie asked curiously.
-Did you heard…wait, how do you know my name?
-I read your history, obviously! –the girl smile. –It's part of my job besides to take care of you.
-I can take care of myself. –Reagan said a little annoyed. –Whatever, but, tell me did you hear something? Like a laugh?
-A laugh? –Katie smiled softly. –I think you're a bit nervous, girl. We have prohibited to be inside the garden that surround all this path. –her voice was more serious now. –Don't go lurking around in here, Reagan, that will bring you problems.
-Why is so important this garden, anyway?
Katie looked at her like if she was mental.
-Because is gorgeous, obviously! –she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. –girls running in there will destroy the beauty.
Katie started to walk again making moves with her hand to tell Reagan to hurry. The girl did it thinking that this Katie girl may be cute but she was also a bit stupid.
-So, are you excited for your first year in here? –Katie asks.
-I'm literally dying of joy. –Reagan said but Katie didn't get the sarcasms because her smile was still in place.
-I know, right? –she squeezed her hands. –I was so excited the time I walk through this place. And to think that now I'm in my final year, so many things had happened! You'll see this are going to be the best years of your life.
Or maybe not, Reagan said in her mind. It didn't matter how amazing this place could be, for her, this was no more than rich stupid people who likes to think they are better than the rest.
The pathway began to be smaller at every step, it was so like that, that Reagan had to walk just behind Katie. She has a good ass, she thought.
-Ok, we are here!
Reagan looked up to find a kind of old building. I was like a church and when Reagan saw the image of Christ in the door she realize this was in fact a church.
-And… what now? –she said a bit tired. Her luggage was a bit heavy.
-You have to go inside and talk to the principal. –the sweetness in her eyes disappeared. –Remember that you have to be respectful with her, is a very strict woman.
She nodded and opened the door, but her hands stopped before she could see the inside. For one moment of craziness she thought about run without looking back. This place was way too weird. But run… wasn't an option anymore. She hesitated a few seconds.
-I'm not a pussy. -She said opening the door completely and walking inside the church.
New People, Old Problems
The first thing she saw was lots of chairs. Some statues of angels were at every corner of the church; their faces were looking up so Reagan follow their marble eyes to see that the roof was a huge stained glass with the image of a Jesus and other people Reagan didn't know.
When she got bored of see that she kept walking more inside, it was a big place, but with no more place to hide. And the woman was nowhere to be seen.
-That's not the way a lady walks. –said a voice surprising Reagan.
-What? –she said in a bad way.
-That's not also the way a young lady speaks. –the woman had short hair, and a kindly face, but her words where very far from sweetness.
-Well, I'm a girl and that's how I speak and walk. –said Reagan forgetting the advice of Katie. –So I guess you're wrong.
The woman smiled. It should be a kind smile but, for a second Reagan felt a little scared. This woman was frightening.
-Take a sit, please young lady. –she said pointing to one chair, that smile always in her face. –I talk with your parents about you, Reagan, and let me tell you they were almost desperate. –she pauses to see if the girl had something to say, but she kept her mouth shut. –Don't you think that?
-I don't know. –she mumbled. –I don't care about anything.
The woman smiled more than before this time. –My dear –she said in a whisper, almost a threat-, this is the most prestigious school of all in the country. And trust me –she took her hands-, if you do something that could ruin the image of my school… You're done.
Talk like that to a teenage was way illegal, but then again, Reagan wasn't the best person to judge someone for bad behavior.
The woman let the hands of Reagan with the same scary smile on her face. –My name is Molly Ashcroft and I hope you enjoy your time in Hearts of Ladies. –she turned around to one of the statues. –You can go now.
She didn't need to hear that twice, she practically ran outside that place to find Katie who was waiting for her sitting in a little chair at one side of the church.
-You took a lot of time! –Katie said.
-Really? –For Reagan the whole deal was very fast.
-Yes –Katie nodded. –what did she say to you?
-That if I screw this up I'm dead.
Katie laughs thinking she was kidding. –You're funny, Reagan. I think we'll get along just fine.
That made Reagan a little nervous; she didn't have friends back at home. –So what now?
That silly smile in Katie's face appeared again. –Now I'll show you your dorm!
There were three ways around the church. At the left side was the dorms of the babies (that's the way people call the girls of first year.), there was also the infirmary, the auditorium, a football field and the garage full of the cars of the girls (like Katie said the most well behave girls could go out of the school at weekends.) Just that was very huge like three normal school in one.
-All of this. –Katie said. –Is what first years like you need. The big building there is where the dorms are, and the other by its side it's where you're going to have your classes.
-So this place is divided in three parts? –Reagan was a bit curious.
-Yes, the babies, the young ladies, and the queens.
Reagan tried scratched her head. –What the hell did you say?
-You know, babies are the first years; young ladies the second's and Queens are the girls of last years. –She smile-. Like me. I'm a Queen.
I'm shocked, Reagan thought, just when I thought this place couldn't be more stupid or degrading.
-So, I let you now. –Katie looked at her Rolex. –I'll be late for maths. You're dorm is the number twenty. Oh! –she stopped herself before leave. –And you'll share your room with someone. All the babies have to do it. Bybye, little Reagan. Good luck!
Reagan saw her leave feeling a little bad. Now she was alone. Some girls were running here and there, once in a while they whispered things like if something about her was funny. Feeling mad, she took her luggage and began to look her dorm.
In the wall was written in bright letters the number of the rooms.
-Twenty… -Reagan murmured. It was the third floor. Great. Like if this things weren't heavy enough.
She was about to reach the third floor when someone punched her in the back making her going to the floor.
Between the laughs of everyone she could heard a cruel voice. –Hey freak! You almost kil me!
Reagan was so mad and the laughs of everyone weren't making her feel calm. –Are you fucking crazy, you punch me!
-I did not! –the girl lied putting a hand in her chest.
-Yes you did, fucking liar!
The girl put her hands on her hips. –Are you calling me a liar? –everyone close to them was listening everything, so the girl got close to Reagan and whispered. –Don't you dare to call me a liar, girl. I can make your time here a living hell if I want.
-You think I'm scared of you? –Reagan laughs. –You have to be blond, because you're damn stupid!
Then some big girl appeared at the sides of the blonde girl. They were twice the size of Reagan but she wasn't scared.
-What were you saying? –the girl put her ear in the mouth of Reagan. –C'mon say it again.
-I said…
-Enough! –a strong voice yell making everyone jump. A little girl appeared with the angriest face ever. –Amy! It's so hard to ask you to not make problems at least for one day?!
-Am I the one making problems?! –she demanded pouting like a little girl. –This stupid is making problems. Don't put this on me, Lauren.
-Amy… -Lauren said slowly. –Stop this now, or you don't remember our deal?
Reagan haven't the least idea of what were they taking but the blonde girl, Amy seemed that mad that Reagan thought she was going to exploded. Instead she just began to walk away with the two giants girls by her side.
-you okay? –said the little girl.
Reagan didn't like when people help her, but she really saved her. Those two monster by Amy's sides could've destroyed her.
-Yeah… thanks, umm, Lauren right?
-Yes, you must be Reagan the new girl. –she sounded a bit aggressive yet but something in her voice told Reagan this was a good girl. –I'm sorry for Amy. She's always like that, don't take it personal.
In that moment, Amy turned around to yell: You're done, new girl!
-Well… that was a little personal for my taste. –Reagan said. She wasn't scared thought. A skinny blonde wasn't going to bother her.
-You need help to find your dorm? –Lauren said and without waiting an answer took up some of the luggage of Reagan and began to walk. –And..? Where's your dorm?
-it's... the twenty. –Reagan answered feeling a bit awkward. She liked this girl a little. She was nice but aggressive. Just the way she loves girls.
They came to the famous dorm. Lauren let her alone saying she needed to fix some things. More tired than before, Reagan opened the door of her new dorm. The other girl was already there.
-She was resting in a bed with pink sheets. She had long red hair and beautiful blue eyes.
-Hey. –Reagan said without emotion. She was done with new people for the rest of the day.
-Hey –the girl stand up to see her-, what's your name?
Before answer Reagan had to appreciate the body of this girl. She was smoking hot. Really the most beautiful girl she had seen so far.
-Reagan Morales. –she said her voice a bit shaky.
-Nice to meet you, Reagan. –the girl kissed her cheek. –I'm Karma Ashcroft, your roommate.
