"I had stayed up late rehearsing what I was going to say and reading about how to defend yourself with nothing. Turns out, the book was useless and now my best shot of staying alive during the simulation was to just run and hide in a cave. My chances of survival were slim to nothing. I sighed as I ate my breakfast of soggy, discolored oatmeal. I was so not looking forward to this. Just as all of my friends finally got settled some random person came and sat down next to me. I had no idea what to do or who this person even was. But what I did know was that they were wearing a light blue designer hoodie with skinny jeans. Well I thought they were skinny jeans anyway. The person instead of digging into oatmeal was just sitting there watching the rest of us unsure of what to do. "Hey are you new here?" I questioned trying to break the awkwardness of this situation. The person nodded and started adjusting with the hoodie. Then the unexpected happened.
" The hoodie unfolded to unveil not a boy but a girl. She was a splitting image of Erica only slightly younger. I just couldn't take my eyes off her. Her lips were tiny but full, her hair was a little past the shoulders but it still looked runway worthy, and her perfect light blue eyes twinkled with excitement. Was this the Thomas I had heard about? My jaw dropped in utter amazement "Hi, I'm Juliet and as you know I'm new here." She sang her voice sweet and joyful, unlike anyone else here. All the boys at the table stared in astonishment, even Chip who was two years older than us. "I...well...um..." "Sorry about him" Zoe spoke from across the table, she looked as if she had just won the lottery. Seriously even if our new student was the lamest person on Earth we would still all be excited. The people here have personality's as big as toast so it gets a little boring after a while. Anyway, Zoe was going on and on about how great it was to have a new face around here, that was a girl when Juliet turned and looked at me. "Do you happen to know where dorm 218 is?" Everyone's jaw dropped in shock. Room 218 was the biggest room that anyone could get but we never realized that Warren had been living in it all this time. I mean seriously the guy was such a loser it was weird seeing him having the best room on the second floor. "What's going on?" Juliet carefully glanced around the table to see our Oscar Quality jaw drops. She then laughed playfully and started to ask Zoe some questions about her life. After all she was the only other girl at the table. Mike leaned over in amazement.
" "Dude that girl looks amazingly like Erica but she is so sweet, like candy!" I nodded and then tuned into the Zoe and Juliet conversation. "Well I turned 13 in July I love Chick Fa La and Starbucks and no I do not carry around a supply of throwing stars." Silence conquered the room suddenly as Erica entered the room and was shocked at the new face sitting at our table. Then something unbelievable happened. Juliet stood up and casually walked over to Erica. "Hey I'm Rachel it's so amazing to meet the daughter of a long line of legacies." Then Erica just stood there completely stunned unsure of what to do. She then ran back out into the hallway as speedy as a Cheetah, and Juliet wasn't surprised. "This isn't the first time someone has had total disregard for me." She seriously commented as she seated herself once again as if nothing had happened.
" Ring! A cascade of students fled out of the cafeteria, Juliet with them. "Wait!" I never did confirm anything Erica had said. This girl maybe be a little to perfect. Something was up. But I didn't get to think about it for that long because a announcement came over the PA. "Oh man, my toupee is on backwards maybe I should alert... Ahem! The War simulation starts now! Please go to your dorms to see what color you represent and get the paintball guns you are going to use. Good luck and I mean it you guys suck!" Wow, I never knew the principal /spanwas that rude./p
" He went right for the heart probably to motivate us to be our best. But that doesn't sound like something he would say. The idiot is so arrogant that once he called an assembly to tell us how skilled he was at principaling. That isn't even a word! Well I have bigger problems from the principal, I have to talk to Erica.
