Disclaimer: See Chapter one already!!! *snorts*
A/N: Hello!!! Welcome to chapter 9!!! Well, first night in the dormitories and a new bed to break in…(GUTTER MIND!) Anyway, I didn't know how this was going to turn out until now and I didn't really mean for it to go this way but, it did and I like it so, it stays…But, it's not your story so, let's go!!!
Dormitory Invasions!!!
As I walked into the dorm, I was greeted by the four faces of my now room mates. "Uh… Hi!" I said hesitantly to the girls.
"Hi!" One of them said, "You must be our fifth room mate."
"Uh… Yeah, I am. My name is Amalin McBlain but, people just call me Am." I replied kindly.
"Well, I'm Peneloppe Clearwater" Said the girl who had first said hi to me. "And this is Sheena, Mairan and Kara." She said pointing to each of the girls respectively.
Sheena was an African American girl with brown eyes so dark they were almost as black as her hair. She was easily the tallest in the room. Mairan was a short girl with gray/blue eyes. Though she had blond hair, it was evident from her out growing roots that she was originally a brunette. Kara was a red headed girl with brown eyes that had a tint of green. Then there was Peneloppe. She seemed very nice. After all, she was the first in the room to say hi to me and even the first girl who had been nice to me so far. She had long curly naturally blond hair and warm eyes framed with glasses.
"So, where are you from Am?" asked Sheena.
"Well, I used to be from a little place in the country. Then one day my stupid parents decided to send me here, sell the house and ship off to some place Scotland." I said with a sour taste in my mouth. I was still completely pissed at my parents for sending my world into such a messed up twilight zone.
"Man, wish I could visit there someday." Kara said.
"So would I." I answered. "Visit but, not MOVE!" My eyebrows arched and my body began to course with anger. Sensing my sudden mood swing, the girls decided to leave the subject alone.
It was soon time for bed and I hopped in between the cold, unfamiliar sheets of my new bed. "This just won't do!" I thought to myself, missing my old bed and my morning ritual of falling off it in the morning.
~**~**~**~**~
It was still dark and I couldn't have been asleep for more than ten minutes when I woke up again. "Stupid stiff bed, what did they do to make you so hard, cover you with corn starch???" I whisper angrily pushing down on certain spots on the bed, trying to make it more comfortable. "And you Sir. Pillow, are like the hardest of cement slabs beneath my head! Must you both so torture me?"
"Am? Who are you talking to?" Rand Mairan' voice in the dark.
"No one," I responded. "Just my stupid bed, could it possibly get anymore uncomfortable?" I questioned. I heard Mairan give a snicker at my complaining but received no real response. The room once again became quiet like it was before and an odd ringing came to my ears.
"That's it, I can't sleep! Let's have some fun!" I whispered to myself.
I got quickly out of bed and slipped on some darker clothes to camouflage me from others' eyes and tip-toed quietly to the door.
~**~**~**~**~
"The door opened inward with ease." I started whispering to myself as if I were reading a book while acting out the actions. "The young beautiful, 'gorgeous' girl who was Amalin McBlain sneaked stealthily out, closing the door behind her softly, allowing only a soft 'click' to be heard." With this I closed the door ever so softly with only a small 'click'. In my head, the opening theme song for the old James Bond movies began to play. "The hall was empty, the air had an odd chill but, none the less Amalin was determined to achieve her goal." I then gave the best super hero pose of all super hero poses.
"The hallway floor was cold against her feet, only then did she realize that she should have brought her bunny slippers on this journey. With every fall of her foot, a shiver ran anew up her spine until she reached the dorm across the hall. Her delicate, beautiful hand reached up and began to turn the doorknob towards the right." The doorknob gave an unexpected small squeak from age as I turned it and I closed my eyes praying that it wouldn't wake anyone up and ruin the surprise. When the knob was turned as far to the right as it would go I realized I had stopped breathing and began to inhale and exhale again.
"Success!" I whispered happily. "The door was opened. She gently pushed the door inward revealing a room where lay five unsuspecting boys. One of whom was about to get a rude awakening." I stopped talking allowed and continued my story in my head as I slowly opened the door to the boys' dormitory. The sound of someone snoring loudly could be heard to my far left.
"Hmmm… I wonder if that's Garrick…" I laughed in my head. "Heh heh… Garrick. Snoring; I should think not. He just doesn't seem the type. Well, that rules out bed number one, now, where's Garrick?" On a table near the bed on the far right I noticed a pair of very familiar glasses. "Bingo!" I whispered very quietly to myself, my blue eyes dancing mischievously over the bed I suspected was Garrick's.
I gently tip-toed over to the bed in question and partially drew back the drapes. As I suspected, there in the bed was Garrick. "Wow, he's even hot when he's sleeping. Do I know how to make friends or do I know how to make friends?" I thought; a devious grin forming on my face.
My heart nearly stopped as Garrick began to stir in his bed. "OH SHIT!!!" I thought. "I'm going to be caught! No way can this possibly be good!" But, Garrick settled after stirring a few minutes, moving from his position on his back to be lying on his side.
With one more grin, I figured it was time make my move and I jumped. However, the unforeseen happened. Garrick was awake and caught my in mid-jump, grabbing me around the waist pulling me through on the jump. I was soon flying over top of Garrick and then landing underneath him as if we'd done a barrel role like an airplane does. I landing back first with a loud 'CRACK' as my back hit rather painfully against the wooden frame of his bed. I was almost falling off if it hadn't been for Garrick pinning me in place by my arms.
Every so often silent sobs would escape my lips and pain continually coursed up my back. Tears streamed down my cheeks though I was trying to act strong and not cry. Garrick' face hovered over mine as he tried to decipher who had so rudely awakened him. Unable to do it without his glasses, he pulled me back up onto the bed figuring I was too much in pain to move, which was right, and he grabbed them from the nearby table.
"Am?" He whispered down at me as he had grabbed his glasses and placed them on his face.
The only response he got was mod silent sobs from me and one labored squeaky "oooowww…"
"Oh my God, Am!" he whispered apologetically. "Are you alright?"
I was ready to scream "Do I look alright?" But, refrained since it would have woken everyone else up and it would have also shoved me into another fit of pain.
Garrick suddenly began to blush. I didn't realize what until he was trying to hide himself with blankets. Only then did I realize that he wasn't wearing a Pajama Shirt. I could feel my ears go hot. I quickly hopped to my feet from my lying position on the bed forgetting my back and the pain nearly killed me. To make sure I didn't scream Garrick quickly jumped from the cover of his blankets and covered my mouth with a hand. This made things worse, I thought I was going to faint from the cinnamon smell that filled my nostrils. "Damn you for being so yummy Garrick!" I cursed in my head.
Before long, Garrick was supporting me so I didn't fall from what he thought was the pain but was actually him. The pain in my back subsided and he, "Thank God!" put on a shirt covering up his rather buff for an eleven year old physic. "He's got potential that one!" I thought mischievously. He then leaned close and whispered in my ear "Alright, let's go. I'll take you back to your dorm." He then wrapped his arms around mine, supporting me and led me out of the room, leaving a small crack in the door so he wouldn't make a sound getting back in.
The distance across the hallway seemed a lot shorter without my mistress spy story. We were at my dorm in a matter of seconds and he opened the door ever so silently, managing to avoid even the little click I had made. Seeing the pain still in my face, he gently walked in and over to my bed, the only one with the drapes open. "This is going to hurt." He whispered in my ear again.
Moving more slowly than before I got under my cold stiff sheets again and laid my head upon the cement slab like pillow. Glad to see that I was back in bed and full of relief that I wouldn't wake him up again; he tucked me in and closed the drapes around me. Suddenly my bed wasn't so bad anymore and I fell into a peaceful slumber forgetting the growing pain in my back… until the morning.
