CHAPTER 2
Jasmine and Chrystal walked into the small cafeteria. Chrystal looked around, it was all white with white tables, white plates, and white plastic utensils. She cringed at the whiteness. "Why is everything so……white?" She looked towards Jasmine, but she had already taken a seat at one of the white tables. Chrystal hurried over and sat next to her. Suddenly, the doors flew open and growling was heard. Chrystal jumped into the air and looked frightened towards the person crawling on all fours. She howled at the brightness. Everyone at the table laughed. Jasmine got up from her seat.
"It's that time of month again?" she sighed. Chrystal looked at her, thinking something very different. She looked to where Jasmine headed, but because everyone was taller than she was, she couldn't see what the other girl grabbed. As Jasmine came back, a Japanese girl crawled behind her. Chrystal saw that the girl was also wearing the normal white shirt and blue pants. But her shirt seemed different some how. The sleeves were extremely long, flowing over the girl's hands. The ends of the sleeves were sown shut and there were loops, like belt loops, all over it. Various areas were chewed through and ripped up. Chrystal watched as the girl proudly crawled behind her.
A rolled up napkin flew past Chrystal's face and hit the girl in the head. The girl turned on Chrystal and began snapping. The table laughed as Chrystal began screaming and trying to get away. Jasmine leaped forward and pulled the Asian girl back. "Bad Mariko! Is that how you treat new people?" Jasmine grabbed a loop on the back of Mariko's jacket thing. Mariko growled and howled. A couple men in white coats ran over. They grabbed Mariko and pushed Jasmine away. Two of the men held the struggling girl down while one shot a clear liquid into her. Within seconds, Mariko had calmed down and was sitting there, like an innocent little puppy. She pranced over to a tall Asian boy and sat next to him, like a normal human being. Jasmine took her seat again and pointed to Mariko, who was smiling and cuddling up to the Asian boy. "That's Mariko. Never piss her off on a full moon."
"Why not?" Chrystal asked, but Jasmine didn't answer. She was busy getting food from a platter that had shown up.
Dinner went pretty smoothly, except Chrystal didn't get much to eat. Seems that Asian boy has a very big appetite. VERY big. After dinner, the crew went to their rooms. Chrystal tagged along with Jasmine, who was talking to Sean. "Hey girlie," Chrystal looked to her side and saw the Asian boy. "My names Orlando Bloom, what's yours?" The boy said this with a British accent. Chrystal looked him over. He had short brown hair that had red tips, dark brown eyes, and was Asian. Now, Chrystal knew who Orlando Bloom was, why wouldn't she? He was a major hottie, especially with the long blonde hair in Lord of the Rings. But this guy was NOT him. She just stared at him. "You're the new girl, right?" Chrystal nodded. "My names Chrystal." The two turned around to a loud growling.
"Mariko, love. This is Chrystal, the new girl." Mariko just looked at the small girl evilly. Chrystal turned back around and quickened her pace. "Woah, girl. This is our room!" Sensei called from behind. Chrystal turned around and walked back, avoiding contact with the growling Matiko. She quickly went in the room, lay down and went to sleep.
The next morning, when Chrystal woke up, it was pouring cats and dogs. Chrystal sighed as she looked out of her window. The gray clouds moved in quickly. Lightning struck and lit up the dark room. A small yelp was heard from below her floor. "Hello?" Sensei stirred on her white bed. Chrystal walked over to the spot on the floor that had yelped and tapped. The floor tapped back. Chrystal tapped again and again the floor responded. Chrystal laughed confusedly at the floor, the floor answered saying: "Dude, open up! It's wet down here!" The floor had a thick hick accent.
"Sensei?" Chrystal poked the sleeping girl. "The floor talks!" Sensei rolled over and fell off the bed, hitting the floor hard. She mumbled incoherently.
"Open up!" The floor yelled and began to bang loudly. Sensei groped the floor blindly. Chrystal watched as she opened her bloodshot eyes. "Hurry up people!"
"I'm coming. I'm coming!" Sensei mumbled as she finally found what she was looking for. A small hole between the tiles that just looked like a small crack. Sensei stuck the fat of her finger in there and lifted the floor from its place. Chrystal and Sensei looked into the hole at Jasmine. "What's up?"
"The tunnels are flooding. It's been raining since after y'all went to bed last night." She splashed around in the ankle deep water. "So if any water creeps in your room, tell them it's the rain. I don't know, just remember, don't tell them about this system!"
"Is it going to collapse?" Chrystal asked, scared.
"I'm reinforcing it now, so it shouldn't." Jasmine looked at Chrystal's still worried face and added: "I've been working all night, so don't worry." Chrystal looked relieved. A knocking was heard down the tunnel. "Oh, I gotta go, see you two at breakfast!" The small girl watched Jasmine splash down the tunnel. She looked to Sensei, who had fallen asleep and was softly snoring. Chrystal checked the clock, 5:57 am. She sighed at the early time. She closed the floor door and crawled into bed.
"BREAKFAST!! EVERYONE UP FOR BREAKFAST!!" Chrystal rolled over in her bed. "EVERYBODY UP!!" She droopily sat up and saw her new white shirt and blue pants sitting on the end of the bed by her feet. She grabbed them and stepped onto the floor and yelped in surprise. Sensei sat up on the floor and looked at Chrystal.
"The floor is wet! Very, very wet!" She picked her feet up as she spoke to Sensei. Sensei looked down at her soaked clothes and nodded. They looked at the window as thunder rolled which a bright light quickly followed, then darkness. Automatic locks clanged noisily on the outside of the door and the girls both jumped.
"Mandatory lock down……" Sensei whispered. She waited for an announcement from a nurse, but none came. "WE''RE TRAPPED IN HERE!!!!!!!" Sensei panicked and threw herself into the water. "WE'RE……." Bubbles, "STUCK!!!!" And more bubbles. Chrystal just starred as the bubbles slowly stopped coming, then she realized what was going on. She jumped off her bed into the freezing cold water and pulled the dark haired girl out of the water. Sensei inhaled deeply. "We're never going to get out!!!" She wailed. "NEVER!!!!" Just then, the lock on the door-clanged open and a tall figure in a white nurse's outfit stood there, looking at them.
"Breakfast!" Her voice was sharp and cracked many times. "Let's go!" The nurse didn't seem to notice that water was running over her high-heeled red shoes. But it didn't matter; Chrystal and Sensei ran past her to the ever-white cafeteria.
