Chapter two. crystal eyes

After art class we get picked up by our head who is a nice lady in her early twenties her name is Jenny and she is super chill then finally we head to our dorms and find out our buddies and what do you know my buddy is that girl with the sun dress and the crystal eyes she looked at me with huge eyes her cheeks where bright red. does… does she have a crush on… me? I wondered as we headed up the stairs to our dorms. She was about ten steps behind me. when we reached our room it was so ordinary just two beds with a long board across the top and a weird drawer/bookshelf thing and shelves above our beds "what do you think" I asked "uhh what" she responded "does it need decorating in the morning or immediately"I said "ha" she laughed "id say immediately" "alright then let's go" I said dramatically "wait first we need to know each other names. I am Echo" ''Annie" she said "ok NOW let's go Annie" I said and we set off.

Annie got the right side, I got the left and that's where my purple duffle bag comes in. It was FULL of decorations and snacks until I could barely zip it up. "snacks!" I called to Annie in a sing song voice and we take a break for gummy bears chips sodas witch exploded when we opened them thanks goodness we were on the floor not our beds so we mopped it up with a towel while laughing then we talked and talked until way past curfew and I hope there is not a lights out or we would have detention for a week but no teacher noticed, you see our dorm is on the floor above all the other dorms and our common room is on the floor with us so no one is on our floor so they won't hopefully hear us and after we finished decorating (turns our her pink duffle bag was full of decorations to) it went from snore to WOW!!! And In about 7 and a half hours I knew who my heart belonged to, forever and always.

I wake up at 8:00 am thanks to my alarm clock that I didn't want to bring and a delicious smell of sausage "sorry that's mine" I say sleepily when I open my eyes to shut off the alarm, I gasp/cough/choked at the sight of Annie up and moving dressed, long red hair brushed and silky in a neat braid down her back as she worked on a art project on the floor she looked up at me, startled at my dying donkey noise "what was that?" She laughed "how-what-your awake!!!" I said breathlessly "yeah and I have been since six there I got you breakfast "wha- thanks" I said speechless "wait" I said between bites of crispy buttered toast "you have been up since six?!?!" Yeah I am an early riser. "Clearly" I manage to choke out with my mouth full of scrambled eggs "how did you know" "your favorite breakfast?" Annie guessed "well you have a painting of a bunch of breakfast foods in your suitcase" I glance around noticing for the first time that my suitcase it nowhere to be found "how did you" I trail off "I unpacked it for you in to the drawers under the bed I labeled them this one is under garments and pjs this one is shirts and pants, and your suit and dress and sweatshirts are in the closet over there" she said in a tone of a best friend just helping out "thank you" I said in awe "I am not normally like this only when I am in a new place" Annie explained "well thank you" I said with a grape in my mouth "slow down" Annie said but she had laughter in her eyes "oh wow it's 8:15 you should REALLY get ready" "ok I will" I said

"aargh" I said from the bathroom where I was getting dressed "what??" Annie said concerned "we get our partners today! I can't believe we are assigned to BOYS!!!" "Yeah its sad really" Annie said she ether was straight or she was excellent at hiding her feelings "oh there is one thing I forgot to put up last night she pulled out a bi flag and but it across from my lesbian flag "ack we have to get to class" Annie said looking at her watch "which one" I ask "umm we go to the entrance hall to get our… partners and then we have math with a mr. smiter" "ok lets go '' as we were walking to the entry hall the hallways where empty and I felt awkward I was always the type to make embarrassing decisions when confronted by my crush so Than all burst and I reached for her hand are fingers almost touched but she pulled her hand up to her schedule to check where we were going then steered us to the left hallway so close well it's the first day so maybe I should wait to get severely embarrassed.
