Mariana woke up with a start as people began getting out of chairs and leaving the room, following a guard. She had fallen asleep during the introduction video, and some people looked at her oddly as she stood up. She looked in the crowd and found Caireen walking nearby. She went and stood next to her.
"Sleepy much?" Caireen asked with a smile.
"What'd I miss?" Mariana asked.
"Well, they told us about this place. Basically, its like a tropical resort school for villains. Strange, but whatever. Apparently the staff here are nice. I wasn't really paying much attention, I was mostly just looking around the room. These people got cash." Caireen said. Mariana laughed as they walked.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Mariana and Caireen had been surprised at how fast-paced the day had been. They were given tours, uniforms, and it was all overwhelming. As alphas, they had black jumpsuits. At lunch, they had no one to sit with, but didn't mind it. Afterall, they were with hundreds of people they didn't know, so it didn't make them feel left out. They were especially excited to hear they were roommates. After dinner, the girls sat in their room, ready for bed.
"This is an impressive place," Caireen said. She had taken her brown hair out of the tight bun it was tied into, and it was quite obvious she hadn't had her hair cut in a few years.
"Yea," Mariana said, "But I don't really know," She stopped herself and moved closer to Caireen. "We have to get out of here. I don't care how amazing this place his, but we need out," She whispered. Caireen looked at her with a serious expression Mariana hadn't seen before in her eyes.
"Agreed. I would ask how, but I'm sure it will take the work of a bigger plan. I love this place, but I won't stay here for the next 6 years. And I'm not a villain, and I will never be." She said.
"Yup, we'll have to gather our allies and get the heck out of here," Mariana said, moving under the covers of her bed. "We can do it, I know it,"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nero reviewed the report on his desk with curiosity. He never had heard anything like a student falling asleep during the introduction. He looked up at the woman standing in front of him.
"Oh, she's interesting all right," he said, standing up.
"And she's hanging out with the Irish girl." Raven said. Nero walked over to her and put an arm around her shoulder.
"Them combined may be a problem, but it can't get rid of your beauty," he said, kissing Raven gently on the cheek.
"Stop," Raven said with a slight smile. Their relationship had started 6 months ago, and she still wasn't used to it.
"Oh, you know it inside, don't you?" Nero asked, pulling her closer.
"Know what?" Raven asked.
"Your the hottest girl around," he said, kissing her again.
"There isn't a huge selection, and shut the hell up," Raven said. Nero pulled away, sighing.
"Well, I'll have to keep and eye on this girl. We wouldn't want any trouble." he said.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mariana and Caireen took their seats at their first class of their first day at H.I.V.E, Villainy Studies. Dr. Nero watched as the students filed into the classroom.
"Why is he teaching, he's supposed to be the headmaster," Caireen said quietly.
"Good question," Mariana whispered back. Suddenly, a boy crashed right into her and they both went flying across the classroom.
"OH SHIT, sorry!" He yelled, helping Mariana up.
"Don't worry about it," Mariana said with a smile, taking his offered hand and dusting herself off. The boy followed her and sat on the other side of her.
"I'm really sorry, I'm Caleb, by the way," He said with an Australian accent.
"Hey, don't worry about it. Mariana." Mariana said.
"Nice to meet you, sorry the first thing I did was send you flying across a classroom," Caleb said.
"Hey, nothing to worry about. The first thing I did to my best friend's mom was puke in her car," Mariana said. A boy walked in and sat next to Caleb.
"Hey, flirting with the hot- er... nice, girls, Cay?" He asked, with a french accent.
"No, I crashed into her, so I am talking to her, god dude, your weird," He laughed, "This is Mariana. Mariana, this is Marc," he said.
"Nice to meet you," Mariana said, laughing. Caireen looked at them. Marc had brown hair almost covering his bright green eyes.
"Hey, Marc, I think you got a little something on your forehead," Caireen said. Marc's hands flew to his forehead, and when all he felt was hair there, he and Caireen broke into fits of laughter. Mariana and Caleb just watched.
"To big a sense of humor, those two," Caleb said, with a smile.
"Yea, they'd make a perfect couple," Mariana said, returning the smile
