The Boarding house was full of students again. Students with their bags trying to get pass each other and be the first one to succeed. Luckily I arrived yesterday and already unpacked my room so I sat down at one sofa and watched how my peers fought for survival. It was even funnier when everybody got the same Text massage at the same time and froze for a few seconds. They read through it rather quickly and after it the fighting started again. Others had taken the opportunity to take a look around them, so did Dustin who somehow managed to handle three bags by himself. Okay one of them was rather small but looked really heavy. He saw me and grinned widely and tried to wave but instead he almost let one of his suitcases fall.

"Hey Mate" He grinned and made another attempt to greet me.

"Dustin" I grinned "Let me help you"

I took the smaller bag from him and hell it was heavy.

"So do you know where your room is?" I asked under the attempt not to moan because of the weight.

"Room 102" he said "but I don´t know wher-"

"I do" I grinned "Follow me".

We made our way through the ground floor and entered the room where I already had set up my things. Dustin and I heaved the bags on the empty bed and it took a few minutes for us to catch our breath and for Dustin to take a first look at the bedroom. It wasn´t that big, big enough for two beds, sideboards, tables and closet and had a huge window though, but all in all it was a bit stuffed.

"We share a room?" Dustin grinned as he noticed a family picture on one of the sideboard tables. It was me, my sister and my parents on this year's Christmas eve after we have had a snowball fight. We were sitting on the sofa with some hot cocoa.

"Yep we do" I grinned and sat down on my bed. "That´s your closet, since I arrived yesterday I felt free to choose, hope you don´t mind."

"Na I don´t…but do you mind if I can take the table near the window?" I shook my head and Dustin heaved the small bag onto it.

"What is that thing anyways?" I asked and raise an eyebrow.

Dustin smiled slightly and zipped open the bag to reveal a sewing machine. "I make clothes, also dance wear."

"You should meet my sister and teach her how to sew" I laughed "She is horrible at sewing at her school"

"You have lessons for that in schools? Man I have to go to Japan!" Dustin laughed

"Not so quickly mate, First things first, you´re here now"
"Yeah I know"

Cecily

"Soo you´re Cecily" my bedroom partner Aeliana asked me as I shoved my clothes into the closet.

"Yeah" I said shortly and laid down on my bed again. Our room was on the second floor and that meant it was the tiniest bit smaller than the ground floor rooms because of the droop. I have to remind myself not to bump my head on this thing. Liana has been here since yesterday she had told me. She came all the way from the US and had already unpacked her things and decorated her side of the room with pictures of her family. I kept it simple. I set up the mirror on the drawer and some make up utensils. I was lucky to live not far from here so I didn´t have to bring loads of stuff. Most of my clothes, books and other personal things were in my room so I was finished.

"So have you got this text message too" Liana was obviously trying to start a conversation.

"Yeah I did, kind of stupid don´t you think?"
"Oh…I thought It rather nice… well how about we get ourselves something to eat at the snack shop before class?"

"Actually I was just going to do that. I´m meeting Andrew there and we´ll go to class together so I´d like to change into the leotards before. "I said and went behind the vintage room-divider I brought with me to change into the purple first year uniform. Over it I pulled a light hoodie and shorts. I slipped into ballerina flats and made a bun. A knock on the door was heard and Aeliana opened it. Two squeals echoed in the room. I stepped behind of the room-divider and saw that Liana and Lily, I guess was her name, were hugging each other. My roommate also had changed into a, with her eyes perfectly matching, light blue sweat suit. Lily was also wearing the ballet dress with just a thin jacket over her shoulders.

"It´s so sad that we can´t share rooms "Liana said to Lily. Hello? I can hear her.

"Maybe we can" Lily said exited "My roommate…well she hasn´t shown up so maybe I don´t have one!"

"Alright you two" I said after I grabbed my bag and made my way to the door "Catch up with your talk…I´m going"

Thank goodness that those two stayed in the room for a bit and did not have the idea to accompany me. I went to the little café or whatever that thing was down at the harbor and met Andrew who greeted me with a hug. After a while of talking about vacation and stuff we made our way to class. Studio 1 ironically was the dance studio for the first years. A bunch of our classmates was already warming up at the bar.

"So Cece have you heard anything from Tony?" Andrew asked and I shook my head as I got down in a plié.

"Nope…maybe she didn´t make it?" I asked but I was unsure. Andrew also seemed to share my thoughts.

"Can't be… I mean she danced the knighting gale perfectly…although…she is quite short"

"So? If I´d be one of the teachers I would take talent over the perfect body shape for a dancer…"

"Yeah…me too but you know how hard ballet can be. Let´s just ask that Gabriel guy where she is, they seemed to know each other pretty well. If he shows up..."

I looked at him. If? Does it mean that both of them were missing? Well maybe they were late…and that meant a lot of trouble from the teachers or they really did not make it…but that was impossible. If one thought Tony had danced well they haven't saw Gabriel. He had just murdered his dance.

"Well he should have made it since he and I share a room so sooner or later we´ll run into him" Andrew assured "As for now we´ll should pay attention…Miss. Raine is there"

Indeed she was. She started blabbering about how lucky we are that we´ve made it, that we have to work hard and blab la bla.

"So make your way to the bar and basics" she clapped and the rows of students adjusted themselves at the bar. In that second somebody or better two bodies came rushing into the studio.

Gabriel, dressed in full ballet robes and Tony, who adjusted the skirt to her hips. "We´re sorry" Gabriel said to Miss. Raine "Morning traffic"

If I´m right. Miss. Raine will start one of her famous lectures about discipline. But I was wrong. She just nodded towards the two of them and they got to the end of the bar. I noticed an angry side-glance from Tony to Gabriel as they were passing by.

So they did make it… Well this year is going to be interesting…

Sorry that I have not uploaded for a while but I had my reasons: D
First I had Test, and then my class went to a week-long trip to Rome. It´s a city worth seeing. Now I was on vacation with my family. But don´t worry I´m back again ;)
