Will You Let Me Be Your Princess, My Darling Prince?

Part Three
"Room twelve," Janice read on the door. "That's your room Usagi."
"And you're room eleven?" I asked.
Janice nodded. I sighed in relief. I wanted Janice near me in case
I couldn't make friends with everyone at the boarding house.
"I'll see you later then?" Janice asked. "After we finish packing."
I nodded. "See you later!"
I entered my room. The curtains were lavender. The bed sheets were
light pink. Personally, it was all too girly for me. I sat down on
the bed and put my bags down. The lavender curtains reminded me of
Endymion. He was very compassionate. He had black hair and eyes that
were a bit serious, but turned soft when he looked at me. He had
called me Serenity. Who was Serenity? Was I Serenity? I looked in
the full length mirror at myself. I didn't look fit for Endymion at
all. I had an urge to skate. I wondered if there was a skating rink
at the school. I grabbed my training bag and rushed out of my room.
"Excuse me," I heard a voice. I turned around. I saw a pretty girl
with long black hair. She had an elegant style of dress and smiled
politely.
"Are you Miss Tsukino, our new student?" she asked. "I was looking
forward to seeing you skate."
"Oh, why thank you," I answered, trying to sound polite. "My friend
Janice skates too."
"I know, I met her just then in the corridor. We got along very
well," the girl smiled. "She's very fun to be around."
I nodded. "She's like that," I laughed.
My heart was a little disappointed. Was I jealous that Janice
found a friend before I did? Or was I jealous that Janice always
attracted true friends, unlike me?
"Miss Tsukino? You don't look too well," the girl looked at me worriedly.
"Oh no, I'm fine," I smiled dryly. "I was on my way to do a
little skating. Is there a skating rink here?"
"Yes, I'll show you the way. My name is Rei. Hino Rei," the girl
smiled elegantly. "Nice to meet you Miss Tsukino."
I smiled back.
We walked pretty much in silence. Rei seemed to be a rich girl. She
wore a long red dress and walked with a straightposture.
"Do we have uniforms here?" I asked, breaking the silence.
"Yes, but as boarders, you can wear anything you want when you aren't
at school," Rei explained. "Didn't you receive a uniform?"
"No, I don't think so," I shook my head.
"You should find them in your wardrobe. There's always a set there," Rei
smiled. "Here we are, the Sakura Gardens Skating Arena."
"Thank you very much Miss Hino," I said, imitating the way everyone spoke.
"Please, call me Rei," Rei laughed. "If you will allow me to call you Usagi."
"Of course!" I answered instantly. "Will I see you some time again?"
"I should think so," Rei nodded. "I'm in room fifteen. You can come and
visit me some time again with Janice if you want."
Rei waved good bye graciously. I waved back. I turned around to face the
skating rink. I loved the ice. Cold and quiet. I smiled happily to myself
and skipped to the change rooms to put on my skating wear and skates.
