Chapter 4

It was early morning when Terri quietly shut the door behind her, and roommate Leah was still sleeping peacefully. When she neared the end of the hallway, she almost literally bumped into Kiwi and Sloane, who both came from the right hallway. When Terri looked up to see whom she'd run into, she smiled, giving each of them a hug. "Hey! How have you been?"

"We have been great," Kiwi said, pulling his girlfriend close and smiling down on her. Sloane smiled, too. "How have you been?" he asked.

"Just fine," Terri replied, still smiling as the trio continued their way down to the refectory to have breakfast together. "Have you seen anyone familiar around here yet?" She asked as the three of them turned a corner.

"Robin, of course," Kiwi sighed, rolling his eyes sympathetically.

"The Hallow sisters," Sloane said. "The one with the short hair plays the piano, too. Her twin sister plays the cello. They said that their younger sister Leah is here, too."

"I believe I actually share a room with her," Terri replied. "I don't think I have ever met the twins, though," she said, as they continued to walk the hallways.

"Oh, but you must have met them!" Kiwi exclaimed, detaching himself from Sloane and walking backwards in front of the girls, so that they could see him properly. "Carrie, the one that plays the piano, has got short carrot red hair," Kiwi explained, "It stands in every direction," he added, bringing his hands to his head and trying to give Terri a picture of it.

"Oh, yeah!" Terri said. "I remember her! And the one with the long blue and brown hair who was always with her, was that her sister? I never had classes with either of them, but I do remember that they were always together."

Sloane nodded. "The one with the blue and brown hair is Molly. They haven't changed a bit."

"Hey, does their sister look so weird, too?" Kiwi wondered.

Terri smiled, shaking her head as they walked towards the end of the hallway – Kiwi had started walking next to them again in the mean time – "No," she said. "She looks just like a regular girl, with dark brown braided pig tails that reach her shoulder. She's incredibly clumsy, though. When she got up early this morning to run quickly to the bathroom, she'd forgotten that she wasn't at home and stepped out of her bed on the wrong side, knocking over her bedside table."

Kiwi and Sloane laughed. "Any of you seen Jay, yet?" Terri asked, trying to keep her voice casual. "Any of you knows if he's coming back?"

Both of her friends looked at her awkwardly. "We would have expected you to know that," Sloane replied, lifting her eyebrows questioningly as they stepped through the open door into the refectory, that was still quiet that early.

"I don't," Terri whispered, biting her lower lip as the three of them walked towards a table in front.
