Chapter 3
Colleen entered the Cliffhanger girls' dorm. A tall brown haired girl stood and greeted her.
"Hi! I'm Juliette, but you can call me Jules," she reached out her hand towards Colleen.
"Colleen," she said and walked past Juliette's outstretched hand. ~Yet another cheery person,~ she though sarcastically.
Juliette shrugged and walked over to her, "Let me help you unpack, and then I'll show you around, and you'll get to meet the rest of the Cliffhangers. It's really not so bad here, you know. It's safe......and......peaceful." She got this dreamy look in her eyes as she looked past Colleen.
Colleen gave her a blank look, "Yes, I'm sure I'll love it here. In fact, why don't you and I go throw a big welcoming party for me!" She threw Juliette one last evil glare and walked into the bathroom.
Juliette ignored the sarcasm, and happily started unpacking Colleen's bags. Apparently Sophie didn't search the bags very well, because their were smokes shoved into all her socks. She collected them all and then knocked softly on the bathroom door.
"What do you want?" Colleen snapped. She'd just finished changing the bandages on her wrists, and the pain of the swollen cuts pierced up her arms, causing her to bite her bottom lip. She pulled her sleeves down over her wrists and jerked open the door.
"I, uh, found these in your bag. Um, I thought you'd like to hide them before Sophie came and found them," Juliette explained.
"Yeah," Colleen weakly grabbed the smokes and then sat on her bed.
"Are you alright?" asked Juliette with a worried expression, "You look so pale."
"I'm fine," Colleen shoved the smokes into a sock and put them under her mattress. She'd find a better place to hide them later. "Well, let's go see this wonderful school."
