@~~)~~~Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I don't really know what to think,
because I'm used to most people not like my type of stories and style.
Okay, I'll admit a few of them actually suck, but that isn't the point. I
don't know what I'm talking about, so I'll quit rambling and let you read.

"Your bed is here," Sophie told Adrienne, "None of your fellow Cliffhangers are back yet. Although I do believe a few of them will be back tomorrow," Sophie told her.
"Okay," Adrienne said.
"I have to leave now, if you need anything just go to the office," Sophie said, as she left Adrienne alone.
Adrienne began to unpack her things. Most of them weren't really her things, her stepmother had gone and purchased more "appropriate" clothes for her. She then remembered that Sophie had forgotten to check her purse.
"At least I can still have my jumbo bottle of sleeping pills," she said. She pulled the bottle out of her purse and placed it inside her fake book. It had been a gift from Case and Rachel for her thirteenth birthday. She searched through the clothes she had just unpacked.
"There has to be something in here less ten year-old girlish," Adrienne said to herself. She settled for a pink sweatshirt and jeans. "At least it doesn't have Hello Kitty on it."
She grew bored and decided to have a look around. She walked around the main part of the campus and headed towards the woods. She had forgotten to take a coat, and it was a lot colder here.
"Hey are you new?" a guy with dark hair asked.
"Yeah, I just got here today," Adrienne told him.
"I'm Auggie, and you are?" he asked.
"Adrienne," she replied.
"That's a pretty name," Auggie told her.
"Thanks, but I didn't pick it out," Adrienne said hugging herself.
"I didn't pick my name either," he admitted.
"Wow, we have a lot in common," she said sarcastically.
"Actually we do. I was out here doing some thinking, before I let Peter know I was back. You probably shouldn't be walking around by yourself, so we both better get back," Auggie told her.
They walked together until they needed to part ways.
"See you around Adrienne," he said.
"Yeah, see you around," she replied. Adrienne then walked back to her dorm. She pulled out her journal.
"I just met this guy. He was soooo hot. I want to write home and tell someone, but Case wouldn't care. This is something that I would have told Rachel, but no not now. I could tell Eden, she would like it if she thought I trusted her. She always has been good at keeping secrets about guys." She stopped writing in her journal and started writing a letter to Eden.
The next few days passed with little events, and soon school was in full swing. Tonight was going to be Adrienne's first group, and she was a little nervous.
"Are these group things bad?" Adrienne asked Juliette, whose bed was next to hers.
"No, they'll be a little easy on you since it's your first one and all. Just participate and you'll be fine," Juliette said with a smile.
"Are you sure?" Adrienne whispered.
"Yeah, don't worry about it. We better go," Juliette told her.
"I'll be there is a minute, you go ahead," Adrienne said.
"All right, but you'd better be on time," Juliette warned, as she left.
Adrienne sat on her bed alone and started to cry. Juliette reminded her of her old best friend Rachel. She then remembered that she was due for group in two minutes. She quickly went into the bathroom and splashed water on her face. She grabbed a handful of paper towels and dried her face on the run to group. As she entered the building, she hoped she wasn't late.
Peter looked down at his watch and looked over at Sophie. Sophie started to get up to go find Adrienne, when Adrienne rushed into the room.
Everyone was watching her. "Am I late?" Adrienne asked.
"No, but you were close," Peter told her.
"Sorry," Adrienne mumbled and she took a seat on the floor.
"Let's make this simple today," Peter said. "I'll give each one of you a word, you tell me what it makes you think of. Daisy why don't I start with you, egg shells."
"Cracking," Daisy responded.
"Okay good, Scott fun," Peter said.
"Football."
"Juliette, forest," he said.
"A river," Juliette responded.
"Adrienne, food," Peter said.
She didn't say anything; she just glared. Then she said," Eating."
Peter went on to the rest of the cliffhangers. Adrienne continued to give him a death glare throughout the meeting. After Peter had dismissed, everyone Adrienne still sat there.
"Is there something that I can help you with?" he asked.
"You're a jerk," Adrienne said. She got up and left the room.
"You shouldn't have said that," Sophie told him.
"Said what?" Peter asked. He was truly confused on what had just happened.
"You asked her what she thought about food, after you had been on her about it the other day," Sophie said.
"You're right, I wasn't thinking," Peter admitted. "I'd better go find her, and apologize."
"Let me know how it goes," Sophie told him, as she patted him on the back.
Peter walked across the campus, heading towards the girls dorm. He knocked on the door. Daisy answered it and let him in.
"Where is Adrienne?" he asked looking around.
"She's in the shower," Shelby informed him.
"When she's done, tell her to come see me," Peter said.
"Will do captain," Shelby said and saluted.
Adrienne leaned against the shower's wall. She had heard the whole thing, there was no way she was coming out. She stood for about another hour until her legs grew tired. She then sat on the floor and let the water pour over her body.
"Adrienne, it's time for dinner," Juliette told her.
"I'm not done yet," Adrienne said.
"You've been in there for two hours," Juliette said. "Someone is going to notice you aren't at dinner."
"I don't care," Adrienne shouted.
"Okay," Juliette said meekly.
All the cliffhangers were sitting at a table minus Adrienne, when Peter walked over.
"Where is Adrienne?" he asked.
"She's taking a shower," Daisy said.
"Again?" Peter questioned.
"No, she is still taking a shower," Shelby added.
"Did someone tell her it was dinner?" Peter asked.
"Jules did," Daisy said, "You want me to go drag her here?"
"No, I won't being needing your services," Peter told her.
"Well the offer is still out," Daisy informed him.
Peter looked around for Sophie. He didn't see her anywhere. He walked back into the kitchen where she was scolding some ridgerunners for splashing dishwater all over the floor.
"Sophie, I need to speak with you," Peter said. She walked over to him. "Adrienne isn't here and the girls say she's still in the shower. Can you, could you go get her and bring her to my office?" Peter asked.
"I will, if you deal with these guys," she said.
"Deal," Peter said. As she left, she heard one of the boys say, "Hey I thought we were getting the hot one." He was silenced by Peter; Sophie laughed as she walked away.
"Your bed is here," Sophie told Adrienne, "None of your fellow Cliffhangers are back yet. Although I do believe a few of them will be back tomorrow," Sophie told her.
"Okay," Adrienne said.
"I have to leave now, if you need anything just go to the office," Sophie said, as she left Adrienne alone.
