Soul Thorn: Week 1
Thursday, 8/25/11
Today Julia's roommate showed up; his name is Ghara. He has short spiky light brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a mummy t-shirt and pale blue jeans. He seems like a nice guy, but he was very quiet, and when I'm around him, it almost feels as if he's watching me, like one of those perfectionist moms just waiting for one of their kids to mess up so they could punish them.
Today was kind of calm and I got to finish my book. Now I need to buy the second one in the series. My ecto-radiation now covers my whole hand, but I didn't bother trying to cover it because this morning when I woke up, everyone else was up and I know they saw my hand, but they acted as if it was normal and not a freaky glowing hand. I even asked Emma if she saw anything wrong with my hand and she said no. Maybe I'm the only one who can see it because it's affecting me, but oh well I'll find out if it's true later.
Friday, 8/26/11
Like Emma said it would be, the camp was crazy this morning with so many kids and parents coming in at once. But thankfully after the parents left, the craziness died down and it seemed as if things were back to normal. Although, it was a bit more crowded than what it had been the first couple of days I had been there. The stores also opened up today, which made me happy, because I got to buy the book I wanted. I also bought a lamp to put on my night stand. It's a small stained glass lamp that you turn on by pulling a chain. The stained glass picture looks like a spider weaving its web. My ecto-radiation still covers my whole arm, but the glow seems to have faded some more. Even though it still might take some more time, it looks as if it'll go away. Eventually.
Saturday: 8/27/11
When Sam woke up that morning, she saw that her roommates weren't in the room with her. She quickly got dressed and went down to the first floor of the dorm. There she found her roommates, Julia, Ghara, and other kids from the dorm. She went to go stand by Emma.
"Hey, Emma, what's going on?" Sam whispered to her friend.
"Our dorm counselor has our schedules for next week and is going to start passing them out and whish us luck for the year." Emma explained briefly.
"Wait, I thought you said we got to pick what we want to specialize in?" Sam suddenly asked.
"Yes, we do get to pick, but we also have to have a schedule for the next two weeks to follow so that we get to learn about all the different things they have here, and so that not too many kids are in one room." Emma replied.
"Oh Okay." Sam murmured. She then took a look up front and saw a guy with short shaggy black hair, a ripped up gay long sleeve shirt, and black jeans. He had pale blue eyes and was very tall. In his hand was a small stack of papers.
"His name is Alex." Emma whispered into Sam's ear. Alex started to call out names and people went up to him and got their schedules. When Alex called Sam's name she went and got her schedule from him and took a look at it. It read:

"Shouldn't the schedules be different for both weeks?" Sam asked.
"No, they stay the same, but there is a difference between the weeks. The first week you are required to go to all the classes you have; the second week, however, you don't; you just go to the ones that you like, or if you want to learn more about the class."
"Okay, but do the classes count you as absent of you don't go the second week?"
"Nope; they don't take attendance during the first two weeks of school because the schedules change after that. Only some of the students will stay in the same class," Emma explained. "And, during the second week, our counselor will come and talk to us about what we want to specialize in."
"Ah But what if you're still not sure what you want to do?"
"Then they'll give you another day to decide, and if you don't pick after that, they just put you into something hoping you'll like it."
"Oh, alright." Sam said, finally understanding everything.
"Does anything on your list sound interesting to you?" Emma asked.
"Yeah, I think I might be interested in Accessory Design or Candle Art; I might still do that band thing with Matt and Aden, too."
"Candle are is so pretty; I hope you're good at it. I would love to watch someone do that. I would do Candle Art myself, but I'm scared that the wax would burn me."
"Well, I'll let you know if that's what I plan on doing." Sam said to Emma as they headed back up to their room. When they were back in the room, Emma started to go through her stuff and Sam started to read her book. After a few minutes Emma asked Sam if they could go shopping.
"Sure." Sam said, grabbing her backpack and slipping it on her shoulders."
"Thanks; I just realized that I brought my camera instead of my camcorder." Emma said sheepishly as they headed back downstairs and outside. They walked past the buildings with the classroom in them and walked to the small park area that the campus had and headed towards the strip mall that they had next to the park. When they reached where they needed to be, which was an electronics store, they entered. Sam didn't know what kind of camcorder Emma wanted so she just nodded her head whenever Emma asked her a question. After about thirty minutes of looking at camcorders, Emma finally picked a small handheld one that was black and had silver buttons on it. Emma paid for the camcorder and they went back to the dorm. When they got back, they found Julia going through their stuff.
"Ahem." Sam cleared her throat, getting Julia's attention.
"Find what you're looking for?" Emma asked, raising a single eyebrow in hopes of an explanation.
Julia turned around to face the two girls with wide eyes. Sam saw that Julia had the Fenton Thermos in her hand.
"What are you doing with that?" Sam asked Julia, pointing to the thermos. She kept her voice calm, but she was slightly panicked at seeing her holding it.
Julia looked from Sam to the thermos and back at Sam. "N-nothing I was waiting for you guys to get back so I could talk to y'all, but I got bored and just started looking around." Julia explained as she sat the thermos on the bed.
"And what is it that you want to talk about?" Emma asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she glared at Julia.
"To apologize for my behavior on Wednesday, and to let you guys know that Ghara and I are going to have a little pizza party in our room tonight. It's just going to Ghara, Aden, Matt, me, and you two if y'all want to come." Julia said as she started to head towards the door. Sam and Emma looked at one another and smiled.
"Alright, we would love to come; but one condition." Sam said, her smile getting bigger.
"What's the condition?" Julia asked, sounding a bit frightened.
"You have to " Emma put her finger on her chin, thinking of something funny and embarrassing for Julia to do. "Oh, this is perfect. You have to stop being so bossy towards your brothers." Emma said to Julia with a huge grin on her face.
"Hey, I am not bossy towards my brothers!" Julia said defensively.
"Yes you are!" Sam and Emma said in unison.
"Am not!"
Julia yelled.
"Are, too!"
Sam yelled back. They kept that up until finally Aden, matt, and Ghara walked into the room to find out what was going on. They let Sam, Emma and Julia argue while they just kept pointing out stuff that they were saying was true and what was false. This caused them to keep arguing more and more. In the end, Sam and Emma finally got Julia to admit she was a bossy person. They went to Julia and Ghara's dorm room and had their small pizza party. They actually ended up laughing, singing, dancing, and partying almost the whole night. Everyone at the party had fun and no one said anything about how Sam's arm was weird and freaky looking. Sometimes, though, Sam did see Ghara looking at her as if she was crazy, but when she looked him in the eye, he turned his head and acted as if nothing happened. But one thing that did go unnoticed at the party was that Ghara kept staring at Sam, almost as if he was observing her, waiting for something to happen, for something to go wrong, for a disaster. Almost as if he knew what the radiation was about to do to Sam.
Demon Butterfly: does anyone have any tips that might help make the story better? R&R! PLEASE!
