Looking In The Eyes Of Love
A "Higher Ground" Fan Fic

Chapter 5: Gaining An Outsider
Juliette bounded into the room after finishing her breakfast, and saw the two each lying on their beds silently. Something was going on, but she was not sure what it was entirely. "I am just gonna..." she stopped when she realized nobody was paying attention to her.
A knock came at the door and everyone turned to face the sound. "Anybody there?" Sophie bellowed from the other side as she stepped into the room. Following behind her a young girl, probably sixteen. "I've got a new admit here, and she has been assigned to your group. Everyone, this is Riley. Could you guys introduce yourselves?"
Sophie looked at Juliette, who was bouncing off the walls at having a new girl around. "Hi!" she yelled, jumping over to her. "I'm Juliette Waybourne!"
"Uh, yeah...Hi," Riley responded in a startled sort of fashion.
"I'm Shelby Merrick."
"And I am Daisy Graves," said the Goth-girl in a monotone voice. Sophie shook her head at Daisy, and she corrected herself. "Sorry, Daisy Lipenowski..."
Sophie smiled back at her to show her approval. "Well, I am going to let you all get acquainted. Afterwards, Juliette, I am going to count on you to show Riley the ropes around here, alright?" Juliette nodded with a monstrous grin on her face, and walked over to the new girl as soon as Sophie had made her exit.
"Hold up there, Queenie. Don't go frightening her," Shelby said before Juliette could reach her. She turned to Riley and said, "Well, we have a wonderful selection of beds here for you to choose from. There's that one over there by Queenie's, or that one by Daisy's."
Riley was not about to get any nearer to the happy-go-lucky girl they had already stuck her with, and decided to drop her stuff off on the bed next to Daisy's. "I think this one here will be fine..." she sighed.
Rolling onto her side to face the new girl, Daisy subtly started a new conversation. "So, what are you in here for? Did you...rob the convenience store down the street at gunpoint? Get high on drugs? Kill someone...?"
Knowing she would have to answer this question many times, she moaned. "My parents said my boyfriend was a 'bad influence' on me and so they shipped me off here...to this 'mountain paradise'...so we couldn't be together anymore."
"Actually, it isn't that bad here, once you get used to it," Shelby said, speaking up.
Riley plopped onto her bed and stared at the ceiling. "Oh yes, I am sure. Bunches of fun..."
