Rehmehya POV

I can't believe I got in to Shiz. Both of Us, NolimAi and me. And today I'm actually going to be there.

But right now I'm in my room at Rush Margins. I came back to spend some time with Papa before going off to Shiz. The last twelves years were hard on him, not getting to see me growup as much as he really wanted...two months were the least I could for him.They have gone by too quickly. I sigh and slip on the white traveling dress that Boq and Milla bought me. White and Black seem to be the only colors I can wear well, with a few exceptions. But black..ugh... too depressing. Like my hair straight as a pole and long.

I gather and tie it at the base of my neck. I look in the mirror,

I sigh, I'm still green. No matter how many times I look I'm still green. Not that green isn't all that bad.

Ohh...who am I kidding?

A knock comes to my door and Papa peaks his head,

"Beautiful," I hear him mumble, and I grant him a smile, but that doesn't mean I believe him.

"It's almost time for you to go."

I nod and see the tears coming to his eyes. It not in either one of our natures to cry.

"Oh, Papa"
I get up and hug him fiercly, and lead him down stairs.

By the time we get to the station there is barely anytime to say good bye to Boq or Milla or even Papa again.

I step on the train and find a seat from which I can wave good bye.

Then the train jerks fiercly and pulls me away from where my Papa stands.

Once the train finally arrives at Shiz I can see my friend, and his body guard, on the platform waiting for me,

"Remmy, long time since we last saw one another." He says with a hug that lifts me off my feet.

"Ai, stop it. What will people think."

"That I am very happy to see my best friend, who chose to spend the last two months with her father instead of her best friend.

NolimAi is a tall, blonde boy, very obviously Gillikinese and has been my best friend and school mate since I can rememer. My green arm links with his pale one and we walk towards the school with his body guard trailing behind.

He drops me off at Crage Hall and I enter, extremely nervous and make my way to the back of the room where all the girls are waiting, a few of them attempting polite conversation.

Madame Taivi comes out robustly, "Welcome girls, to Crage Hall. First things first, lets get you all roommates."

I can feel the tension in the room rise considerably. My mind begins to drift to Papa and other non-roommate related subject matter as she calls off the pairs, until I hear my name.

"Miss Rehmehya from...all over and Miss Avaya from Kvon Altar, my it has been a whild since we've had anyone from that far out. You two will have room 246."

As I make my way through the crowd of girls to retrieve my room key, I can hear several of the girls gasping or whispering and I know why. It is not everyday one sees a green person. My roomie is already halfway down the hall and follow her to the room.

Once inside the room, Avaya quickly goes the bed farthest away form the window, I shrug I really don't care.

I begin to unpack and I eye my roomie. There is something odd about her. She has dark skin with light brown hair. Two blue diamons can be seen in between her collar and her ear. She doens't unpack instead she sits down to write at the desk next to the restroom.

She hasn't seemed disguted by my verdigris, a little shocked but in a weird sort of way.

I don't know what to make of it or her. But I don't think I like her all that much.

let me know what you think
