Chapter Two: Room Assignments
ACK! Forgot the pairings. Yumi&Ulrich (DUH!), Jeremy&Aelita Odd&Maia
Kira walked into the Headmaster's office, her bags trailing behind her and she sat in a chair by the door. After a minute or two a young girl with black hair and an all pink outfit opened the door and motioned for her to stand and follow her. Kira instantly dislike her, and she hadn't even said anything. She looked up and saw an older man sitting behind a desk and he stood and held out his hand and she took it as she approached the desk and shook it firmly.
"Welcome to Caddick Academy, Kira. This young lady is my daughter Elizabeth. she'll show you to the dorm rooms and you can find your room from there. But first, do you have any questions for me?" The Principal said, handing her a key. Kira shook her head and pocketed the key.
"No sir, thank you." She turned and followed Elizabeth out of the office.
Elizabeth slowed to walk beside her as Kira got her bags situated. "Okay, first things first. I absolutely hate being called Elizabeth, call me Sissi. Everyone does." Sissi said with a superior air. "If you hang with me, you'll be one of the most popular girls in school. Although," She paused and wrinkled her nose. "Those clothes have to go. Do you have anything other than black?" She asked with disdain.
Kira bristled. "Yes, actually, I do. But is it anything like that awful pink that you chose to wear today? Excuse my American wording, but HELL fuck no!" Kira replied, waving at Sissi's outfit.
"Oh, and by the way," Kira added as she opened up the main doors to the dorm room. "I choose my own friends, and I don't need to be popular, or friends with the Headmaster's daughter." With that, Kira shut the doors in Sissi's face and looked at the room number printed on her key.
"328." She said and looked at the room directory that was posted beside the main doors. With a sigh, she hauled her bags up the stairs and groaned as she dropped them on the second floor landing. She looked at the room numbers on the doors and finally found her room near the end of the hall.
Kira put the room key into the lock and opened the door. The room was sparse and undecorated, the bed neatly made. She plopped her bags onto the bed and put her laptop case on the desk by the window. She left the door open and unzipped her red suitcase, taking out her shirts and jeans. She turned and opened the closet, hanging up her clothes with the hangers that were provided for her in the closet.
As she turned to get something out of the suitcase, Kira thought she saw a familiar swish of blonde hair amongst a group of kids passing by. Maia? She ran to the door and looked down the hall. The group of kids had disappeared around the corner and she shook her head, returning to her unpacking.
