Sorry about the shortness. I've been trying to get longer chapters in.
"Hey Break! Break! Wake up!" River was shaking Breaks should trying to wake her up. It was her first day and River had to show her around. She wasn't going to give herself a bad reputation.
"Oi, River you can stop I'm awake." Break flipped away from the wall to face where her roommate was standing. She was beautiful, red-brown hair in a very short bob and crystal blue eyes, she was thin and tall. Her only problems were ones Break had learned quickly. She cared only about her reputation and needed people to wait on her hand and foot.
"Come on get dressed, I'll be waiting for you outside the door. We need to get to breakfast."
"Sure, sure." River left the room and Break got out of bed. She had expected she would sleep in a little so she had kept her clothes on to sleep. That was the best sleep she'd had in a while. After all she'd lived on the streets with no mattress for about three years.
She slide out the door and check either wall for River. She was nowhere to be seen.
"BOO!" River jumped out from around the corner of the hallway in an attempt to scare Break. She didn't budge.
"Oh, come on weren't you even a bit scared?" River asked disappointed her attempt hadn't worked.
"No, a pack of rats is more menacing than you." She replied simply. River huffed and started down the all to what Break guessed was the cafeteria of sorts. So she followed her down the hall to eat. She was starved!
In the cafeteria there was a short line of kids, ranging from maybe 5 or 6 to 18 or 19, waiting in what seemed to be the food line. Several wooden tables and chairs were spread out along the floor for a place to eat.
"Come on Break. If you don't go now you'll be last in line." River pointed to the end of the line. Break looked at her then at the line then at River again.
"What do you mean 'if I don't get in line'?"
"Well, of course someone as beautiful as me would get other people to do that trivial stuff for her."
"Well, don't think it's me." Break stormed off to the end of the line.
We in line she started to look around at the people around her. There were some extremely short people, such as herself, tall people, blond people, brunette people. The person, though, that would stand out in a crowd was the person that came to stand behind her.
She recognized this one. This was Near. She still had traces of the picture of him she had drawn on her hand left. Near was unique in more ways than imaginable to Break. Seeing as he was around her age and hair silver-ish white hair that usually only the elderly had. But he didn't look old at all. Break actually thought him quite attractive.
"Hello,"Near said. It sounded like it was aimed at the air because of how empty his voice was.
"Oh, hi. Ummm.. your Near right?" Near twisted a lock of his hair around his finger and took a second to answer.
"Yes, and I don't recognize you so you must be Break. I'm supposed to show you around today." He's empty voice floated through the air.
"I 'preciate it. Thanks." She was a person of very very few words. The line started moving forward.
"Would you like to sit with me Break? That way I don't have to find you after we eat." He asked politely and quietly.
"That would be nice." Once again not very many words. Yesterday she was all energetic, what had happened? Was this how she really was when she was healthy and unexcited? They were quite as the line moved along and they got their food. A small bowl of scrambled eggs, a piece of toast and a box of orange juice. Though they ate in silence as well,Break learned a great deal about him by watching him. He had a habit of wrapping stands of hair around his finger and twirling them like she had seen him do before, he pulled small toys out of the pockets of his slightly over sized pajamas and always had a very odd way of sitting.
"Well Break, since were both finished let's head off to our classes."
I always thought Near ate his toys! lol Anyway reviews please!
