I cannot believe that he's sending me here, of all places. Its only been a week since her death. "Ms. Torres, would you like help with your bags?" Mr. Martin pulls my attention for the building. I nod answering, "Sure I'm in room twenty four." He disappears into the building. Dad didn't come with to say goodbye. I haven't spoken to him since the day of the funeral.

"Ms. Torres, I'll be leaving, have a nice time here. Dont look at it as a bad think." I look at me and smile just a little. If I'm going to miss anything from home its him. "Thanks Martin. I'll see you later." He nods. "Of course." He smiles before getting in the car.

I walk up two flights of stairs and finally find room twenty four, which happens to be at the end of the hall. I unlock the door to a huge dorm room or rooms. It has a small living room that seperates into two small rooms. I do not want to get stuck with someone without having some way of getting rid of her. I pick the room to the right, it has a bigger closet. tossing everything into the room before looking at the time. I have ten minutes to the orientation in the auditorium.

I found the auditorium with a minute to spare, this school has way to many building, I look around sitting next to the cutest girl I could find. She smiles as someone starts talking into a microphone. "Lady, lets quite down." The tall brunette starts waving her arm. "Thank you. I'm Mrs. Wilson and I'm principle of the school. I'd like to welcome you to a new year at Tribeca Acadamy." Some of the girls start clapping, Mrs. Wilson smiles. "First I want to tell you about the Masquerade Ball. It's not manditory, just a way for you girls to get to know eachother." A ball? At a school full of girls? Gay much? " You do have to resume with school on monday."

I zone out for the rest on the orientation, until the girl next to me taps my shoulder. "Hey are you okay?" I look up quickly. "Huh? Yeah I'm fine." She smiles at my answers."Okay, well the orientation has been over for like ten minutes, and you still haven't moved." I look around and see she's right everyone was gone. I stand up offering her a smile. "Thanks. I don't know how long I would've sat there." We both laugh.

"I'm Mitchie." I say sticking out my hand. "I'm Miley, nice to meet you." We start walking towards the dorms. "So what building are you in?" She ask walking next to me. "What theres more then one building?" I ask, recieving a giggle. "I'm in building one, what about you?" I add as an after thought. "Same." She answers glancing over at me. We're silent the rest of the way to the building.

"This is me." Miley stops in front of room fifteen. "See you later?" She ask before opening the door, I smile. "Okay. I'm in room twenty four." I walk away without waiting for a reply, before turning the corner I look back, and see her staring at me. I wave walking up the stairs to my room.

I hear talking in the room before I open the door. Must be the roommate. I open the door to see a blonde my age, straight hair, and a boy shorts sitting on the small couch watching t.v. while talking on the phone. When I close the door she looks up. "I'll call you back." She says hanging up the phone. "Hi, I'm Mitchie." i speak first introducing myself. She smiles speaking. "I'm Lily." I smile excusing myself.

After I unpack everything I walk out of the my room, but I don't see Lily. I guess I could knock on her door. knocking softly I wait for her to to answer. "Come in." I hear her faintly. Opening the door I find her sitting cross legged on the bed. "Hey whats up?"

"Nothing just thought I'd get to know you more." She looks at her cell phone when I finish speaking. "I was going to go down to the dining hall, wanna come?" She jumps off the bed looking at me for a response. "Sure let me go get some money."


I spot Miley when we get to the dining hall, she waves gestering for us to come over. I look at Lily, "Wanna sit with Miley?" She shrugs her shoulders before replying. "Sure." We navigate through the people, and sit on the opposite side of Miley.

"Hey, whats up?" Miley speaks first. "Nothing, much I'm Lily." Liley answers introducing herself, flashing a smile at stare at eachother for a moment, I look between them feeling a little awkward.

"Okay! Then Miley who'd get as a roommate?" I ask hoping they would stop starting at eachother. "Her name is Vanessa. She's ok but she's always on the phone talking to her boyfriend." She rolls her eyes at the word boyfriend.

I decide to ask the next question, getting it out of the way. "You guys have any boyfriend?" I look between them when niether answers. "Any girlfriends...." That got their attention., I laugh at the expressions on their faces.

"What?" Lily ask looking at me confused, I stop laughing. "The looks on your faces." A minute of silence passes before Miley speaks. "I guess I should tell you guys now," She looks at us both. "I'm gay." She stars at Lily waiting for her reaction.

"Well good news, I'm a lesbo too." She finally speaks, we laugh at her words before they stare at me. I know what their waiting for. "I'm gay too, and single." Miley chuckles, before saying. "I didn't think I'd find girls so soon." She sticks her tongue out. We start talking about the ball, and what we think of the school.


The next morning I wake up to Liley pounding on the door. "Mitchie! Get up we have to go eat and get information about the ball!" Rolling my eyes at being woken up I shout back. "Okay give me a minute!' I get dressed and follow Lily out of the room.

We get the paper for the ball, walking out of the building, I stop talking mid sentence when I collide with something hard. I assume it was a wall until I feel it land on me. I open my eyes to find a girl lying on me, and the only thing I can think is awkward. I hear laughing and looking over I see Lily doubled ove face red from laughing so hard.

"Lily!" She stops laughing a amused smile still intacted. She gets the point and helps the girl off of me, then helps me up. I get the chance to look her over, she has wave brown hair, brown eyes, and is freakishly tall.

I look at Lily wondering if we should leave, she looks back at me then looks to the girl. "I'm sorry I wasn't look where I was going." She's the first to speak. 'Its fine I wasn't paying attention either." I relpy.

"I'm Sara." She smiles as she changes the subject. Lily jumps in before I can say anything. "I'm Lily and this is Mitchie." She points to me, I wave offering a small grin. "So you to talk, I'm going to find Miley. See in the room later" She smiles running a before I can say anything. I groan slightly annoyed that she just left me alone with a stranger.

She looks at the paper in my hand. "Are you going?" I look down at the paper, shrugging. "Yeah I guess. You going?" I ask as we start walking. She smiles, "Yeah I think it will be fun."

We end up in her room, she lives in building three. Yes I also wonder how many buildings this school has. I sit on the floor next to her bed. She lays on the bed, on her stomach, facing me, its awkwardly silent for a few minutes before she ask. "Do you want to go with me to the ball?"

I look up quickly, Sara sees the shocked look on my face. "I...I mean as friends, in a group you know." She response quickly. I nod stiffly feeling uncomfortable, "Yeah thats cool I should see if Lily wants to go with us." She looks down at bed, a sad look on her face. She looks up a few seconds later with a das smile. "Yeah sound great."

Again with the awkwardness. "Um, so I think I'm going to go talk to her right now about it." I stand as does she. "Okay well call me and them know." I nod trying not to be rude as I walk to the door and out the room.

Before I can open the door to the room it flies open, Stacie stands there jumping up and down a huge smile on her face. "Guess what! Guess what!" I laugh walking into the room. "No dont guess I just tell." She smiles clapping her hands, "Miley asked me to ball." Wow that was fast.

I grin "Really thats great." I sit down on the couch, and she sits next to me. She starts telling me about her day, and how amazing Miley is. I'm happy for her but at the same time I want someone too. And no way do I want that person to be Sara. I guess I just have to keep searching.
