This story has been up for some time now, and I figured I'd rewrite it a little bit. I hope it's up to par :)

My name is Liliana Jackson, and I'm currently terrified. I'm at a new school in a completely different country than I'm used to with no friends. I also had no idea where Anubis house was and hated change. This was going to be an adventurous day.

I guess I should elaborate on a few things before I get any deeper. I'm originally from Kansas, a state in America, where I was born and raised. I was a senior when I was asked to leave my art school for being an "unhealthy influence" on the other kids there. I was blamed for doing something that I should have been given help for, but that was a different topic all together that I don't necessarily want to get into right now.

I'm not a bad kid; I've just had some bad things happen to me. People thought I was because I had purple mixed in with my blonde hair, my ears were stretched, and I had a hoop in my nose. That was just them being judgmental, it was something that I was pretty much used to.

Back in the current time, I was wandering around the campus totally lost. I was too focused on finding Anubis house and not enough of where I was going so I ended up running into some guy. He had shaggy blonde hair and looked like he was an athlete. I figured he was the next best thing to having a map so I asked him about Anubis.

"Hi, I'm seriously lost. My name's Lili and I'm looking for Anubis house," I said, making his face change at my accent, I was sure.

"Sure, I can actually show you. I'm heading that way myself," he told me, eyeing my entire body and making me instantly uncomfortable.

I pushed down my instinct that was telling me not to follow him and went where he was going. There was a campus full of people; he couldn't do anything with that many witnesses. If he veered off the course, I had pepper spray in my bag and I knew how to use it.

As we walked to the house, he talked and loosened up a bit. He wasn't as intimidating as I'd originally thought, but I knew better than to let down my guard. He was attractive and attractive guys couldn't be trusted.

"I'm Mick, by the way. I just realized I never told you my name," he laughed, stopping in front of a house that I assumed was Anubis.

"It's nice to meet you, Mick. Thanks for bringing me here, I'd hate to think how long I would've wandered around if I hadn't met you," I smiled, squeezing his arm as I opened the door and walked inside.

I guess I should've said that I tried to walk inside, but I ended up slamming into someone's chest instead. He was really tall and smelled really good, but his face seemed annoyed. His eyes were really nice as well, a bright blue that matched his smirk in their mischief.

"Watch where you're going next time, yeah?" he said obnoxiously, even if his accent was easy on the ears.

"Well, excuse the fuck out of me! I'm sorry I couldn't see through the door, I'll work on that," I said with my hands on my hips before shouldering my way past him with a huff of breath. "Jesus Christ!"

"I'm not Jesus, but I'm pretty damn close," he replied, turning around to follow closely behind me.

"Are you Miss Jackson?" a creepy guy asked, materializing out of the shadows and making me jump slightly.

"Yes, but I'd rather be called Lili," I told him with a smile.

"Well, Miss Jackson, I would rather you follow Mr. Clarke up to your room," he told me in a bored voice. "Mr. Clarke, help her with her bags."

I heard the guy from earlier let out an exaggerated groan, but I saw him bend over and grab a couple nonetheless. I felt his eyes one me the entire way up the stairs, but I couldn't say anything about it. He wanted me to ask about it and I wasn't going to give that to him.

Once we made it to my room, I saw a girl sitting on the bed beside the window. I figured she was my roommate because I doubted that random people just hung out in my room. She was pretty in a girl next door kind of way, pretty much the exact opposite of me.

"I'm Mara, I guess you're my new roommate and you've already gotten Jerome to do work for you. You're eons ahead of the rest of us," she told me, smiling at the guy behind me.

"I didn't do this willingly; it took some threatening from Victor," Jerome told her, sitting my things beside the empty bed.

"Well, it was still very nice of you," she told him with a wink.

The tension between them was palpable so I decided to ignore them both. I tried to be silent, but I ended up hooking my foot on the edge of the desk and falling. I smashed my face against the ground and let out a groan, rolling onto my back.

Jerome was roaring with laughter, bent over at the middle and holding his stomach. Mara was on her feet with her hand held out to me within seconds. She seemed to be one of those people who took care of everyone else and she was my roommate.

This place was going to be better than I thought it would be.

I've learned how to use grammar since the last time I posted, I hope it's obvious.
