An old black carriage pulls up to a huge stone building with engraved on
the side "The young ladies of today are the sophisticated women of
tomorrow." A girl with brown hair past her shoulders reads it once again
and laughs.
"Please."
She had just gotten home her real home at the Christensen All Girls Boarding School. Her name was Adriana and she was sent to see her grandfather in California. He died right next to her and that was the only reason she agreed to go to her house in California. Adriana cried and cried she loved her grandfather so much and missed him. Her grandmother had died before she was born and while her parents were always out at parties when she was real little her grandpop would play games with her in her nursery. He was the only person in her life she really loved besides her sisters, her best friends Juliet and Ceres.
They had met right here on the big stone steps of the school when they were six years old. Since then they had had their differences but that usually brought them closer. Ceres had the same problem as Adriana she hated going to her house in California. You see the three's parents met at a party and decided that they were all going to the same school across the country. While Adriana's parents were carefree letting their daughter do anything Ceres's parents were the complete opposite. Ceres loved her grandmother who understood her like no one else. During the holidays Adriana and Ceres went to Ceres's grandmother's house. Juliet was a little different she liked the parties and the money but she was too good of a person for them. Juliet was the prettiest of the three not saying Ceres and Adriana weren't pretty but Juliet had this aura of love that drew you to her. Juliet's parents were a little different they were more understanding but Juliet always put up with things that Ceres and Adriana didn't.
Adriana looks up at the huge school and sighs she is glad to be back home. Out come Ceres and Juliet and they rush down to her and hug her.
"I'm fine." Adriana says reading her best friend's minds.
"How was it?" asked Ceres.
"Pops went peacefully. He told me to tell you to think of him while your dancing."
"You know I will." Ceres said looking down.
"Pops told me to tell you to not take any crap anymore." She said to Juliet.
"I told you guys, I don't care. But I'll try for your pops." Juliet said.
"Listen Pops wouldn't want us to be like this so let's go to the café and get some lunch." Adriana said dropping her suitcases and she turned to the coachmen "Just put them inside" pointing to the suitcases.
"Race you there." Juliet said to Ceres and Adriana and ran off down the street.
"Cheater." Screamed Adriana.
Once the three got to the café there was a sign on the door. "Closed for Renovations."
"Oh Damn." Adriana said kicking the curb of the cobble street.
"It's ok I've been to another café in downtown Manhattan. I know the way." Ceres said running off further down the street. The three had never really visited this part of Manhattan but they knew their way around pretty well and ran inside the small restaurant. The three were laughing as they entered the café.
Juliet picked a small booth near a group of loud rowdy boys. Ceres rolled her eyes at them when they looked over. Of course since Juliet was with them the girls would be getting some attention. Juliet flicked her hair and over came the boys.
"Terrific." Ceres said sarcastically.
"Be nice you two." Juliet said.
As you all know the boys in this crowd were, Jack Kelly, Racetrack, Kid
Blink, Mush, Pie Eater, Snipe Shooter, and Skittery. They came over and
introduced themselves. Juliet and Adriana were being nice to the boys.
Ceres on the other hand could be a little unreasonable at times.
"So you goils live her fer a long time?" Jack asked.
"Try ten years." Ceres said.
"Yeah we've lived here most of our lives." Adriana said.
"Were like our own family." Juliet added. Then another boy came in and all the boys there yelled 'Spot' he had blonde hair and a cane. Some of the boys were talking to him when one turned back to us.
"Who whut's youse names?" Race asked.
"Adriana"
"Juliet."
"Ceres."
"Ceres, that's a weird name." Spot said trying to tease her.
"Well sorry, Spot, but I don't remember asking for an opinion." Ceres said getting up to leave.
"Ceres don't be like that." Juliet said.
"Like what? I just don't want to be in the company of immature children anymore. See you guys at home." Ceres turned and left not in huff or annoyed just calmly.
"Sorry about her." Juliet apologized.
"It's s'alright my fault." Spot admitted. "Where's home so I can go apologize.
"Christensen Boarding School." Adriana said.
"Whoa youse guys are preps?" Mush said.
Juliet and Adriana stood up and showed them the blue plaid skirts they were wearing with navy blue blazers. "Not very observant are we?" Adriana said.
"That's where we live all year long." Juliet said.
"Do you like it?" Jack asked. "Always thought those place where places you didn't want to go."
"It's home. There's no place like it." Juliet said.
"Wouldn't want to be anywhere else. The only place I can call home." Adriana added.
"Isn't the place your supposed to call home the place were your parents and family live??"
Adriana and Juliet looked at each other and answered the same thing at the same time...
"Not always."
The boys sort of saw the tension building up around the girls and decided to change the subject.
"Do ya goils want to have lunch with us sometime."
"Ummmm. I don't really know. Maybe" Juliet said unsure.
"O okay. Well we will see ya girls around we are usually here around lunch and if not you can find us on the streets hawkin' the headlines."
"Oh your newsies. Should have guessed by the attire." Adriana said.
"Guess youse not so observant either?" Mush said. They all laughed and Adriana and Juliet left the restaurant.
