CHAPTER 2
I was very proud as I tore into the parking lot of Miller's Boarding School. I had managed to reach almost 400 mph on the way. I was very grateful for the fact that Jake hadn't eaten recently (he doesn't always have a strong stomach) and that there is hardly any cops out on the Georgian highways. I hadn't realized how much I missed it until I got a whiff of the pure, humid, and hot air that surrounded the car.
I parked close to the office and every head turned in awe at my car. It was the nicest one there although it was surrounded by glossy convertibles and big trucks. I stepped out of the car and immediately knew that this school, although it was in my favorite southern state, was the same as every other school I had gone to. Everyone was in designer clothes and had more plastic surgery done on them than half the actors I'd seen. I watched from behind my big, black sunglasses as they took in my form. I was dressed in some short cutoff jean shorts, with a black tank top and an open short sleeved red plaid shirt. I completed the look with some cowboy boots that I had broken in over the summer at Jakes house that has a stable.
Everyone's attention shifted to Jake for a moment as he got out of the car then back to me. I walked around the front of the car and told him to wait for me as I went into the office to get my room assignment. He nodded and I quickly strutted to the office.
The woman behind the counter looked up as I walked in and I smiled sweetly at her. She seemed taken aback at my apparel and the fact that I still had my sunglasses on. But she recovered and smiled back quickly.
" Can I help you dear?" She asked. I wasn't surprised she didn't have an accent, most people here probably wouldn't.
"Yes ma'am I'm Lauren MaCarthy but you can call me Izzy I'm new this year." I said letting my southern accent come out. I usually couldn't control it very well it would slip in a the strangest times.
Recognition lit up her face and she scrambled through the pile on her desk and finally gave me a thick folder.
"That has all the information you'll need about your schedule including classes and your extracurriculars. Also there is a map and your rooming assignments. Please enjoy your year here at Miller's." She ended her speech with a smiled and I returned it before coming back outside.
I crossed the street to my car where Jake was trying to make a couple of fake boobed bitches leave him alone.
" Jakey I got my stuff now we can find my room!" I yelled excitedly. The bitches turned at the sound of my voice and glared. I smiled sweetly at them before shoving Jake in the car and getting in myself. As the door closed they stalked off. We busted up laughing and I was relieved that my windows were tinted so dark that you can tell who's inside.
We got over our laughing fit and I tried to find my rooming assignments in the huge folder I got. Eventually I found it and stuffed the rest of it in my purse. I was in building C on the top floor in room 999. Well that's easy to remember. Jake didn't think it was that great since he had to lug most of my stuff up there but I promised that he could use the elevator and I would try to get Emmett to help.
" Oh come on Jake stop whining like a baby and hurry up!" I shouted over my shoulder as I carried the last bag with me. Jake had two more and was going very slowly, this was our fifth trip. Emmett hadn't answered the phone and for the past half hour as we struggled with my bags half the student population had watched us in silence, I thought it was pretty creepy.
We eventually made it up to my room and deposited my stuff in my room for the last time. Jake was leaving and I gave him a huge hug and made him promise to visit before school started a few days later. When he left I let myself take in the dorm, It was pretty much just like a big apartment and I found out I had two other roommates. All our rooms were labeled with a sign in the door. Mine had an L on it but I quickly switched it out for the I from my old room, the others had and A and an R on them. Each room had their own closet and bathroom. The kitchen was small but that was fine, I wouldn't be eating much here anyway. The living room was huge and had three couches with a flat screen TV up on the wall. The best part was the white baby grand piano off in one corner.I will be spending a lot of time there.
At first I didn't understand why they had separate rooms assigned to everyone instead of letting us pick our own. That is until I saw mine. It was fully equipped with all of the things I will need to train here. It had a punching bag and small long matt in one corner and some custom made gloves lying next to it while the matt ran from one end of the room to the other just long enough to practice some gymnastics on it. There was also a small recording studio attached to the room. The desk it one corner had all the books I would need along with all my new math essentials.
As if the room wasn't already great it was designed specifically for me. When I got the applications there was a small personality test asking stuff like my favorite color, at the time I thought it was stupid but now I know it was anything but. My walls are a deep rich purple and the edges are black. The four poster bed was black and the comforter was striped with purple, black, and zebra stripes. The massive amount of pillows on it were all different shapes and sizes and it looked like heaven.
I quickly filled all the shelves along one wall with books and CDs. On some I put some knick-knacks and photos. The shelves were awesome, there were the entire wall on one side starting from the ground to the ceiling all black.
After I finished with that I started on my clothes. My walking closet had four different racks and that was perfect with how I organized things. The first rack had all of my normal everyday clothes, then the next one had all of my nicer clothes for clubbing or ceremonies, the next one has all of my workout clothes (including some of my leotards), Then on the final rack I have all of my competition clothes for fighting and boxing and the competition leotards. After all that was sorted I finished by putting all of my shoes on my shoe racks. I made sure to leave room on each of the racks for new clothes to come and I was done.
As I came out of my room I noticed the Baby Grand Piano again and was dying to try it out. I ran over to it and closed my eyes letting my fingers feel the keys. I smiled and began to play River Flows in You that I composed my self the piece was a complicated one and my favorite. I play it every time I start a new school, it reminds me that not everything changes, some things are forever, and I will forever have this song.
I got so into my playing (as usual) that I didn't hear the door open and some people come in, shocked that the music was coming from this room. I kept my eyes closed until the last note ends. I turned around and saw two awestruck girls in the doorway. They hadn't recovered yet so I took this time to look them over.
They seemed to be complete opposites. There was a tall, statuesque girl with long legs and long golden hair and bright ice blue eyes. She was the supermodel type. The other is much smaller looking barely five feet tall if not less, she had short dark hair that looked almost black, that was sticking out in all different directions and misty gray eyes. She was skinny to the extreme but still had some small curves. They were beautiful and clad in designer clothes but they looked to have more style than most of the rest of the student population.
The small pixie one recovered first and squealed before running to me and giving me a huge hug. She was talking a mile a minute.
"Oh My God! That was amazing! Your almost better than Edward! Are you our roommate? That would be awesome! But you must be because why else would you be hear? My name is Alice!"
"Well Alice thank you and yes apparently I am your roommate. My name is Izzy." I stepped away from her as she was still bouncing up and down. Dang this girl is Hyper!
The Blonde had come to her senses as Alice was rambling and stepped forward with a bored expression.
"I'm Rosalie." She said in a very monotone voice.
Well Miss Rosalie I assume you are my other roommate?" My accent slipping again. Rosalie was glaring at me but raised an eyebrow at my accent. I glared back worse with a smirk on my face. She looked taken aback then smiled and nodded approvingly.
Alice simply rolled her eyes and dragged us both to the couches. We sat down and we started with some questions.
"So when did you get here?" Rosalie asked.
"Just today...Well a few hours ago." I replied. Their mouths were hanging opened.
"How did you get all of your stuff ready in just a few hours?" They asked incredulously.
"Well my friend Jake helped me bring all of my stuff up from my car and then putting all of my stuff away was easy. Why? How long did it take you guys?" I could tell I would like them already.
" It took us at least three days each and that was with each others help."
"Wow."
"Yeah well anyways are you here because of your piano." Alice asked.
"Not really." I left it at that I would tell them later.
"Oh." This seemed to confuse them until Alice looked at the clock.
"Uh-Oh. We need to get ready for the party! And you have to come to Bella then you can meet the guys!" She squealed.
"Sure what should I wear?" They both got this wicked glint in their eyes and I knew they were up to something.
"Something Sexy." They said. Okay can do.
