5. Seeking
Shirley didn't know what she was looking for, exactly. That is, until she met him.
She was in that hallway again. She could see nothing, besides the door in front of her. She began to run towards it, certain that she'd escape this dreadful corridor when she opened it. But every time, she'd either wake up, or find that the door is locked. She prayed that this would be the one time where she'd finally open that door. She was almost there, about to touch the door handle, turning it-
Shirley Fenette awoke to the blaring of her alarm clock, proclaiming it was 7 AM. She sighed, and got out of bed.
I was so close too…
She quickly got ready, and ran out of the door with a piece of toast in her mouth.
Shirley's day of school went in a daze; she was eager to get back to sleep as soon as possible; to finally see what was on the other side of that door. Only one period left… history.
When she walked in, she noticed a buzz of excitement in the classroom. She vaguely remembered Milly telling her about a new student entering Ashford, and presumed that everyone was excited because of them. She quickly dove to her seat and waited for the professor to come.
When Professor Turner finally came into the classroom, the new student quickly came in after him. All the eyes followed him as he walked to the center of the room, and the silence quickly turned into another buzz of talking.
"Class, we have a new student." He gestured to the boy.
"Hi, My name is Lelouch Lamperouge. Nice to meet you all," he waved at the class facing him.
"Well Mr. Lamperouge, you can have the empty seat next to Ms. Fenette." He pointed at the seat next to Shirley.
Shirley's eyes widened in astonishment as he walked up to the very back of the room, and took the seat next to her. She could feel all of the girl's glares as he approached her. However, as soon as all of the eyes were off of him, his smile instantly dropped, and chose to stare out of the window with a dull expression on his face.
Just looking at him, she knew that he'd be a heart breaker, with his silky black hair and perplexing violet eyes. She sighed internally and turned to listen to the lecture.
She was in the same black corridor as always. The same hallway, the same door, and the same suffocating darkness. This time, she wasted no time and sprinted to it. Finally, she got to the handle yet again, and turned it. To her surprise, it opened, but instead of revealing a meadow like she imagined, Shirley was face-to-face with Lelouch; the new student at Ashford.
"Wha-"
Shirley shot up from her bed in alarm.
"It was only just a dream," she mumbled to herself, and sank back into the bed.
A/N: Woo! Knocked out two in one day! This is awesome :3 And if you haven't noticed, then Lelouch's intro scene was based off of the first scene of Fragments, [my other Shirlulu fic. Go check it out ;)] and this will come back xD Until the next fic, see you guys later~!
