"Rose, wake up. We have assembly.''
What the- oh. Im in fucking school. I groan as I stirr. I sit up and see Lissa dressed in a long black pleated skirt with a black blazer and a white blouse. She has mascara and a bit of eyeliner and pink blush. Her lips are narrow but glossed.
''No make-up eh?'' I say as I undress. Walking to the bathroom in a gown I find along with other acedemy issued things, Lissa coaches me and I laugh when she enters the bathroom with me. I honestly don't mind, so I take off my gown and enter the shower. Lissa is seated on the toilet seat and pretend covering her eyes. When I close the frosted door she uncovers her eyes.
''At assembly, you will meet everyone. I'll introduce you to my cousin and some of my friends.'' She says. ''Liss, do you have a boyfriend?'' I ask as I shampoo my hair.
In the blink of an eye, I'm out of the shower and I'm on my bed sorting through my uniforms. I pick a fitting blouse and a kind of short skirt that I wear high waist. I put on stockings and doll shoes. I wear my blazer and tie and sit on Lissa's bed just to annoy her.
''Yes Rose, I did have a boyfriend but things didn't go well. We ended a few weeks ago.'' I pull her in for a hug. I already feel like her sister even though it's been a day. After she does my makeup, we walk to the main hall for assembly.
We sit side by side but we attract attention. The hall is filled with hushed whispers and I see someone that I know directly ahead of me. I tap his shoulder and he turns around.
''Eddie?'' I whisper.
''Rose,'' someone else says. My shock factor reaches overdrive. ''Mason? Mia? What are you doing here?''
Apparently they were also busted and my mother recommend this school.
Lissa hushes me and I stare at the stage. All the teachers line up behind a thin, model like woman, headmistress Kirova. ''Its good to see you all. Welcome students. It is my pleasure to meet you all safe and sound. We have a few new students and we just want to welcome them. Where is Ashford, Rinaldi and both Hathaways? Please stand up. Let us welcome you.
All but me stands and I remain seated. The rest of the assembly is just about rules and such shit and I'm glad when its over.
''We have Mathematics now and bio after. Lets go.'' Lissa says. ''You go ahead, I have to do some - oh. You can come. I just need something very important.''
Ten minutes later, we enter math while clutching a coffee and two donuts.
''Rose Hathaway. Your late. No food or beverages in my class but since your new, a pass. As for you Vasilissa, you are excused too. We sit side by side while he explains about finding the circumference of a circle. Yay, fun! Note the sarcasm.
I support my head on the desk an gaze off into the air. ''Rose, what's the value of pi?'' Stan Alto, our teacher asks.
Value of pie, what nonsense is that?
''Well, my favourite pie at MacDonald is strawberry cream pie with on a good day, I get for 3 dollars.'' I say smilling.
The whole class bursts out laughing and an angry Stan Alto glares at me but before he can comment, the Bell rings.
''Goodbye'' I half say, half laugh as I exit the classroom with Lissa in tow. We laugh hear and I walk to Mason, Mia and Eddie. After 'tearfull' reunions, we head to the bio lab.
*(0)*(0)*(0)*
Biology is one of my strong subjects and for the first few minutes, we are huddled in groups talking about ourselves. Aaron, Lissa's ex boyfriend comes to introduce himself to us. Apparently, Lissa and he harbour no hard feelings.
A dark skinned tall girl sashays towards me and Lissa. ''Stay away from Aaron, he's mine bitch. Get over your losses.'' She says.
My jaw drops. Literally.
'' Camille, there's nothing going on.'' Lissa says.
Aah. Yes. Camille Conta. Lissa told me about her today. She takes a step towards Lissa but before she screens insults to her, I step protectively in front off Lissa.
''Get over yourself. You don't talk to Lissa that way. Not in front of me. Now I will count to five and if you don't take your toothpick body out of here, you won't like what I'll do. After all, Im on parrol for a reason.'' I say.
I smile when she humphs and walks away. '' I'll get you Rose.'' She shouts.

I hope you liked the classroom drama. Things get serious from here since its a short story, maybe 7-10 chapters
