Chapter Two
Naomi looked at her plastic cup, at the red drink in it. She then looked at the other two girls who nodded. The black haired girl sniffed the contents and Lola sighed.
"Don't make me force the drink down your throat. Just take a sip."
Naomi glance cautiously at her before taking a small sip. Her face brightened and she took a longer sip of the fruit punch while Lola high fived Zoey. It wasn't butterbeer but it was still pretty good. Zoey and Lola started on their drinks just as a girl with brown hair and glasses appeared.
"Hey Quinn." Zoey and Lola said at the same time, reminding Naomi of the Weasley twins though Zoey and Lola weren't twins.
"Hey Zoey, Lola. Who's this?"
"Our new roommate."
"Oh, what about Nicole?"
"She was diagnosed with Obsessive Male Gender Disorder." Zoey said and Naomi looked at her strangely while the other girl looked surprised.
"OMGD?"
"Yeah."
"Well, okay. Anyway, I'm Quinn Pensky."
"Naomi Potter." Naomi shook Quinn's hand.
"Nice to meet you."
The three girls eventually returned to their dorm and finished unpacking. As Naomi finished tacking up her Quidditch jersey, which she told the girls was a sport her boarding school made up and was hard to explain, a boy with an afro knocked on the door. It was the boy she saw with golf clubs.
"Knocking." He said. "Entering."
"Chase!" Lola exclaimed and hugged him.
"No hug from Zoey?" He had yet to notice Naomi.
"I tried to hug you like an hour ago but you fell down then ran away." Zoey shrugged.
"This is true."
"Anyway, Chase, this is our new roommate." Chase looked over to see a girl standing there shyly.
"Chase Matthews." He shook her hand.
"Naomi Potter, it's nice to meet you."
"You're from England, aren't you?"
"Yeah." Chase nodded in response.
"Listen, Zoe, you got a minute to talk?" Chase asked.
"Sure, talk."
"Privately?" Lola sat next to Naomi, watching with a strange smile.
"Yeah, but can we do it later? I really want to get my stuff put away."
"Yeah, absolutely." Chase shrugged. "Anyway, you guys have fun."
"Bye Chase." Lola said and Naomi waved as he left.
"I wonder what he wants to tell me."
"Yeah, I wonder." Lola said in a sarcastic voice. Naomi looked at her and then Zoey.
…..
"So Zoey and Lola have a new roommate." Chase said as he got back to his dorm to relate.
"Really? Who?"
"Some girl named Naomi." Michael perked up, glad Logan had earbuds on.
"Naomi is Zoey and Lola's roommate?" Michael asked.
"You know who she is?"
"That's the real reason Logan made it first." Michael shrugged. "I ran into her and decided to help her find Fulton Hall."
"And Logan doesn't know this, why?"
"Really? Mister Ladies Man would probably scare her off, she seemed nervous to be here."
"Uh-huh." Chase raised an eyebrow. "So this has nothing to do with the fact you find her pretty and want to have her to yourself, with no competition?"
"Pssh, no." Michael said but his voice gave him away.
"Well go talk to her. She seemed a little shy, maybe you can help her." Chase watched as Michael looked at Logan before running out of the room.
Back at the girls dorm Zoey looked at Lola incredulously while Naomi was covering her mouth to stifle the giggles threating to become full blown laughter.
"In love with me? Chase isn't in love with me."
"Yes he is!"
"If you thought this, why didn't you tell me a year ago?"
"Because we were waiting for you to catch on."
"Wait, we?"
"Yeah, the whole school pretty much knows." Lola rolled her eyes. She went to the door as a girl passed. "Uh, Jeannie, come here."
"What's up?" Jeannie asked.
"Blank is in love with Zoey, fill in the blank."
"Chase."
"Thanks for playing." Lola said and the girl left.
"You know, it really gets on my nerves that a guy and a girl cant be close friends without it being a big deal." Naomi finally broke down and started laughing. They both looked at her and she sobered.
"Sorry, it's just, this reminds me of my two best friends. They always argue and wont admit it but they really like each other." She sighed, suddenly looking sad. "Continue."
"Chase is not in love with me!" Zoey exclaimed before heading for the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To get some lunch."
"What about me and Naomi?" But Zoey ignored her and left.
Before Naomi could speak, Michael appeared looking out of breath. Lola went to give him a hug as Naomi looked at him in surprise.
"Hi, Michael."
"Hey."
"Wait, you two know each other?" Lola asked.
"Yeah, he literally ran into me and helped me find Fulton Hall." Naomi said and Michael nodded.
"Anyway, Naomi, I was wondering if I could show you around PCA."
"Oh." She looked even more surprised as Lola grinned and went back to putting her stuff away. "I-yeah, sure."
"Great." He gestured for the door and she smiled before walking out.
"And now I'm alone." Lola sighed and went to finish unpacking.
….
Michael spent the rest of the day showing Naomi around. She had never laughed so much in her life, Michael was really funny. She was so used to the castle walls that this was a strange change, the fresh air, the multiple buildings instead of just one big castle. She told him that her boarding school was nothing like this and he grinned, saying that it must have been boring. She had just shrugged. Hogwarts was never boring. He had snorted at the name of the school and she tried to be insulted but knew it was a ridiculous name next to Pacific Coast Academy.
Naomi found out that Michael really cared about his friends, just like she cared about Hermione and Ron. The fifteen year old gained a sad expression at that thought and he asked what was wrong.
"It's just a little sad, not seeing my friends. They're all the way in Scotland, at Hogwarts and I'm all the way in California." She sighed and he frowned.
"Well, couldn't you write them?"
"I could. I have a cell phone and I'm able to call them but with the time difference I have to be careful."
Her cell phone was actually a two way mirror that Dumbledore had skillfully disguised as a muggle cell phone, a Tekmate, which apparently was popular at PCA. It worked just like a cellphone but if she pressed a button, she could change it to the mirror.
They made it to Fulton Hall and Naomi smiled at him.
"Thanks for giving me a tour." She said and he shrugged. "I'll see you later."
"Okay, see you later." Michael grinned and she blushed but smiled and left.
