Chapter Two
Terri fell asleep before she got to meet her new roommate, so when she woke the next morning, she was surprised to see a girl sleeping in the bed across the room.
Terri silently packed her bags with notebooks, and sheet music, and stepped outside. The hallway was empty as she knew it would be. She headed for the cafeteria.
There were a few people in the cafeteria, but no one she recognized. She ordered a cinnamon roll and a milk from the food line, and sat down at an empty table.
After a few minutes of watching people enter and exit, two people that Terri knew walked in hand in hand. They saw her and the girl ran to Terri's table.
"TERRI!" Sloane screamed and hugged her. People all over the cafeteria stared. This was very unlike Sloane. She was usually trying to avoid people looking at her, defiantly not a people person, but now she was beaming down at Terri, obviously not caring about the people looking at her.
"Hi Terri." Kiwi said, coming up behind Sloane.
"Hey Kiwi!." Terri said.
"I'm going to get some food. Do you want anything?" Kiwi asked Sloane.
"Ya. Could you get me some milk? Thanks." Kiwi ran off to the food line.
"So you two are still together?" Terri asked, smiling at Sloane.
"Ya. We have seen each other a lot over the year. He really is sweet." Sloane turned and watched Kiwi make his way to the lady at selling food. Then she turned to Terri. "Whats going on with you and Jay?" Terri smiled mischievously.
"We are still together. He spent the evening in my dorm last night." Sloane giggled.
"What happened? Anything your mother wouldn't approve of?
"Nothing happened." Sloane looked at her disbelievingly. "I promise. He made sure nothing happened and left around 7:30." Sloane sighed.
"I was hoping you you would have some good gossip for me."
It was just then when Terri noticed Sloanes outfit. She was wearing black tight pants and a grey spagetti strap shirt. This was not the Sloane Terri had gotten to know so well last summer.
"Wow, you look...different." Terri said.
"Oh. This is just for the picture later today. I know I dont look the same." Slaone added after seeing Terri's face.
"No...it looks really good." Terri said taking a sip of her milk.
"Here you go." Kiwi handed Sloane her milk and sat down next to Terri with his apple and cereal. "Where's Jay? Kiwi asked Terri.
"I'm not sure." Terri said looking around. She turned back to Kiwi. "So what do we have to do today?"
"Um, I think we are just getting introductions, mostly for the new kids, and then we have the day off." Kiwi spoke inbetween chews. Teri had caught him right when he was putting cereal in his mouth.
"Oh. ok."
The day went by fairly fast. Terri sat through the begging ceramony and got to see a glimpse of her old singing teacher, but still Jay didnt show up. She asked a few people where he might be, but he hadnt been seen since the day before. After the announcments, and the picture, Terri went back to her room. A girl was sitting at the dresser applying makup. She looked up as Terri entered.
"Oh. Hi Terri." Robin said.
