I'm new to the fanfiction universe, so please bare with me as I get started. I will update whenever possible. I type on my phone, which makes this kind of difficult. Please tell me if I've made any mistakes so that I can fix them. Thanks! Without further ado, here's the first chapter!?
I sighed as I pulled up into the drive. My driver got out of the limo and opened my door for me as I stepped out. While he got all of my luggage out of the trunk, I scoped out my new school, Coates Academy. It looked like the typical boarding school, except for the chain link fence with barbed wire on it to keep kids from escaping. Not sure the amount of good it would do though if someone really wanted to get out. Take me, for example. I've been through six different boarding schools in the past four years. I got expelled from every one because I can't stand being shut in. So, I snuck out at night, but my roommate couldn't keep her mouth shut which made me get caught. My parents finally got tired of all the phone calls home about me so they sent me to Coates. It's funny how they actually think that it's going to work. I'm just going to be way more careful.
I snapped out of my thoughts as my driver set my suitcases next to me. "I'll see you to pick you up for break, Miss. Have a good time!" He slid into the limo and drove away, leaving me in dust. Then, I grabbed my stuff and headed to registration.
"Name?" The lady asked.
"Delilah Richards."
"Grade?"
"Seventh."
She handed me my schedule, "You'll be in dorm two, the first floor, room seven. Your roommate is Dekka Talent."
I nodded a thanks to her and headed for my dorm. Hopefully, this Dekka girl won't be a snitch. I opened the door to my room and set my stuff next to one of the beds. Dekka wasn't here yet so I just started unpacking. Then, Dekka walked in. Or, should I say, stormed in. Her eyes were dark and her black hair was in neat little corn rows. She all but glared at me and I wondered what in the world happened to her. "They told me I wouldn't get another roommate after last year." She said coldly.
"Well, I'm new this year. Maybe my enrollment unbalanced the room arrangements." I explained.
She shrugged, "Whatever. Just don't bother me."
I took a closer look at her. When she wasn't scowling, she was actually sort of cute. In a dark sort of way, that is. I turned back to my packing, idly debating whether or not she would get mad if I asked her a few questions. I decided that I needed information, no matter what. Besides, we'd be living together for the next year. We needed to at least somewhat get to know each other.
"So, anything that I need to know to survive this?"
"Yeah, there are a few things. To start, stay away from Caine Soren and his crew. His right hand man, Drake, is a sadist and does not hesitate to cause pain. In fact, he enjoys it. Diana Ladris is also a part of that crew. She's downright evil and is manipulative to the bone. Not to mention, a complete b**** and a s*** into the bargain. The teachers are even afraid of them so they pretty much rule the school. One other thing, watch what you say around Taylor. She's a b***** gossip." For some reason, I had a feeling that that would be the longest paragraph that she ever said to me.
"What's security like?" I had to know what my nighttime activities were going to be limited to.
She shot me a sharp glance, but answered anyway. "Only the janitor and the nurse are here at night. It's pretty easy to sneak out. The weekends are even easier because most of the teachers go home." I nodded, already planning my first outing. I would wait a little while though, I didn't want to get a reputation too soon, did I?
