Our car stopped at the gate, a big iron carved elegantly, with the letters SV on it. The driver, Alberta, got out and spoke with the guards standing out in front of the gate. And you probably ask why would they have guards right here? I have no clue, something I am going to find out though. After a minute they let us through and up to the Academy itself. It was around 8:30, and looks like the start of the day for most of the school since, kids were outside eating breakfast. Why would they be eating breakfast at night? Geez, could this school get any weirder.
The Academy look like it was big on tradition, with Greek architecture everywhere, something out of Europe. The school wasn't as old as the ones back in Europe, but looks like it's built in the same style. Te buildings boasted elaborate, with high peaks and stone carvings. Wrought iron gates enclosed small gardens and doorways here and there.
"We are on the secondary campus, which was divided into lower and upper schools. Each was built around a large open quadrangle decorated with stone paths and enormous, century old trees. We are going toward the upper schools quad, which has academic buildings on one side. Younger students lived on the primary campus, father towards the west." Alberta explains.
Around all the campuses were space, space, and more space. Well, we were in Montana after all, miles away from any real city, the air felt cool in my lungs, and smelled of pine and wet, decaying leaves. Overgrown forest ringed the perimeters of the Academy and probably during the day you could see mountains rising up in the distance.
As we walked into the main part of the upper school, I saw a group of boys hanging by an oak tree. One boy whistled at me, the other punched him the arm. I smiled great fully. Looks, like one thing didn't change, boys were all the same, even at a weird school like this one. We entered, what I assume is the office and, went up to the front desk. The lady at the desk looked at me weirdly, I started to say something but Alberta interceded.
"Hello, Tasha. This is Rosemarie Hathaway, she is new here" Alberta gave Tasha a look.
"Call me, Rose" I said, with an annoyed look. I hated when people used my full name, it made me sound old.
"Oh, yes, right. Welcome back, Rosemarie" Tasha said handing me my schedule. Welcome back? This is my first time ever being here, so what could she possibly mean. And I know, I just told her to call me Rose. I was about to say something, when a guy with a case of messy bed hair, and green eyes, walked in. He was hot, with a bad boy persona. He walked over and smiled, he smelled distantly of cigarettes.
"Hey, beautiful, do you need help showing where you live" he said. What a charmer. Well, I did need help, finding my way around here, and he was cute.
"Yes, thank you" I smirked. He grabbed my bags and led me out of the building leading me towards a building with "Girls" stamped on the side of it.
"What's your room number, and by the way my name is Adrian". I pulled the papers the receptionist gave me.
"My room number is C6, and my name is Rose, nice to meet you". I say smiling at him
"It's a pleasure to meet you, and you are sharing a room with some of my friends, they are cool". He says. As we start walking, I notice people start staring at me, with shock faces. So, in a Hathaway fashion, I flick them off. That showed them because as soon as I did, they stop staring.
Adrian smirked, while saying, "I like you, little warrior. That'll show them".
We neared my room number, and I pulled out the keys to open the door, but before I could, it was opened. When I looked, there were 2 other girls in the room. One was tall and slim with long blond hair almost to her hips, she had jade green eyes, and her skin was so pale though. She instantly made me feel, uncomfortable, but when I look at her face, she smiled kindly. She looks so familiar, like we were best friends a long time ago. Huh. The other girl had long brown hair, with tanned skinned and big brown eyes. She too, had a big excited grin on her face.
"Hi, my name is Lissa and this is Viktoria, looks like you are our new roommate"! The one with jade green eyes said excitedly. I'm glad; she's okay that she's getting another roommate. I walk into the room, and I'm instantly engulfed with the smell of flowers. The room I walked into the living room, it had a flat screen TV with a couch and a small glass table. The next room was the kitchen; we had a refrigerator, small stove, and microwave. Lissa then showed me her room; it smelled like cotton candy in there with her walls painted pink, and a hug bed and vanity with a walk in closet. The closest was filled with clothes still in the shopping bag. Looks like this girl like to shop. The next room was Viktoria's, she opened the door. The room was purple with a huge bed and vanity like Lissa's too. She also had a walk in closest, but this time, her closest wasn't filled with shopping bags, just clothes. Well looks, like they both loved clothes. They then showed me my room. I opened the room door; the room walls had black paint all over with red paint splatters. My two favorite colors. I had a walk in closest also, with a vanity and a huge bed too.
"How did you know that I would like these two colors"? I asked. Like, they painted and decorated my room like I always wanted.
"It was my idea; I uh…kind of figured you would like this." Lissa said, looking anywhere but my face. I started to say something but Adrian interrupted.
"So, well I'm just going to set your bags here. Anyway Rose, me and some friend are going out to the movies, you are welcomed to come. Lissa and Viktoria are coming as well. We are going around midnight". He says. Midnight, we are going to the movies around midnight? Wow, well I might as well, and that gives me enough time to shower and unpack.
"Okay, are you going to pick us up?" I ask. They all looked at each other, smirking.
"Yea, you could say that" Adrian says, suspiciously. Okay?
"Alright then, that gives me time to shower and unpack" I say. They all leave my room. Adrian leaves with the same smirk on his face. Lissa and Viktoria start watching TV, so I go back in my room and start unpacking. What was that all about? Why are they acting so suspicious? Well, I do know one thing; I will get to the bottom of it.
How do Rose know Lissa if she is her first time coming to St. Vladimir's? What's up with Adrian? Why did Tasha say welcome back? The next chapter will be at the movies, and there is going to be a certain sexy Russian there to keep Rose's company. Please review and leave me suggestions on what should happen, where should I lead the story?
