3rd Person
After the girls finished their "Conversation" they headed back into the school with every one else. Charlie didn't see the three again until lunch. When Charlie walked into the lunch room, late, he saw that the three had sat at a table in the far corner, and were talking quietly among themselves.
After Charlie got his lunch, decided to walk by their table, to see if he could hear what they were talking about so earnestly. As he walked by, he heard Miranda say "I wonder what they'll say when they realize we brought it all back to where it started…" then the three looked at him, Sabrina glaring, Miranda smiling in a secret way, and Cassie expressionlessly.
"Can we help you with something, Charlie?" Miranda asked.
"Yeah, can we?" Sabrina echoed with sarcasm.
They knew he had overheard. "No, just passing by." Charlie said, with a nervous smile. Only when he was safely seated with Gabriel and Fidelio did he realize that they'd know his name.
After that, Charlie didn't see them until it was time for homework. He was the first one in the King's Room, because he'd been the first one out of the cafeteria. Manfred, unfortunately, arrived next, with Asa.
"Hello, Bone. Get to work." Manfred said, taking his seat.
"Yes, Manfred." Charlie said, getting out his work. Then the three girls walked in.
"Hello, Charlie," Miranda said cheerily. "Hello Manfred, Asa." She said, in a tone that cold freeze fire. Manfred seemed unaffected by her tone, but Asa looked hurt. Miranda took a seat to my right, with Cassie to her right, and Sabrina next to her.
"We haven't been properly introduced. I'm Miranda Keis, pronounced Keys. These are my sisters, Cassie and Sabrina. We've recently moved back to this area."
"Hi, I'm Charlie Bone. How old are you guys?" He asked. A secret smile played on her lips. "I'm 10, Cassie's 7, and Sabrina's 12." Just then, every one else piled into the room, and started their homework. After about an hour, Charlie looked up at the portrait of the Red King, as he usually did, but right before he went back to his work, he noticed that Miranda, Cassie, and Sabrina kept glancing at the Red King. Odd, he thought returning to his work.
At the end of homework, when everyone was leave, the new girls grouped around the Red King's portrait, and Charlie heard the oldest say quietly "Well isn't he a sight for sore eyes" in a tone that said she cared about him, and her sisters mumbled their agreement. Then they just floated out of the room.
Miranda and Cassie were in the same dorm as Emma and Olivia. Sabrina was in a dorm for older girls down the hall. The only two empty beds left in Emma and Olivia's dorm were on opposite sides of the room from each other, which, as Emma noticed, didn't seem to make the girls happy. In fact, Miranda walked over to the girl, Jenna Lee, who had the bed on the other side of one of the empty ones, and looked her straight in the eyes. Then she gave her a brilliant smile and said "Sorry to ask, but could you switch beds with me? My little sister and I like to be together." And Jenna's eyes looked like they glazed over and she agreed, happily to switch beds with her. Peculiar, very peculiar.
Olivia woke up in the middle of the night. At first, she had no idea what woke her up, then she heard the singing again. It sounded like it was coming from somewhere either upstairs or outside. It sounded beautiful, like an angel. There were no words to this song, just the melody. The singing made Olivia feel calm, and she drifted back to sleep.
So? Sorry it's kind of choppy, but I only wanted to write the important stuff. I promise to get the ball rolling faster in the next chapter and to write more about Richard, Alan, and Danny. I hope to start updating faster now that SCHOOL'S OUT! Anyway, R & R.
