Chapter 8- A normal roomie?
A long awkward tension fell upon the trio as they slowly made their way down the dining hall. "So," Angie began. "You heard all about our wonderful roommates, what's yours like?"
Alexis grinned, "Well…"
"Alexis Starr and Jillian Kleur " Alexis read aloud the sign on her door. As she entered, she had butterflies. What is my roommate going to be like? What will she think of me?
No one was there. Though there wasn't lack of suitcases, clothes, shoes, pictures, and other items scattered carelessly around the room, as if someone was in the middle of unpacking and left somewhere.
Lexi carefully made her way to the other side of the clutter, careful not to step on anything. There were two beds on opposite sides of the room. Both beds had a mess on them, but one had the name "Jill" carved onto the head bored, so she assumed the other was hers.
She tried to take it all in. She was there, in Alfea, with her own dorm and fairy roommate, attending the same school as the legendary Winx Club. It was all so overwhelming, just to know it was all real, let alone actually being there!
Lexi plopped her giant suitcase on the bed and started unpacking.
"Hiyaaaaaaaaaa!" A voice boomed across the room. Lexi jumped then turned around to see a girl in a crazy loud rainbow flowered dress. The skirt looked like a big puffy rainbow-colored upside-down flower. Her hair was a turquoise blue tied in a bun, and her eyes were violet.
For a moment, Lexi stood in shock at the giant rainbow flower that walked into the room. "Uh, hi. Are you Jillian?"
"None other!" Jill said in a gleeful voice. "Sorry about the mess, I'm just sooo excited about attending Alfea! Aren't you?"
"Uh...yeah. What's your power?" Lexi blurted it out before she even knew it. What's your power? Why are you dressed like a giant flower a rainbow barfed up? Are you always this hyper? were the questions going through her mind.
"I'm the fairy of storms"
"Really!"
"No, just kidding! I'm the fairy of rainbows!" Jill giggled
That made much more sense. "So, um...I'm Alexis. Your roommate."
"I assumed. What's your power?" Jill smiled.
"Um, that's unknown.." Lexi said in a quiet voice.
"Okay. Hey, wanna see me eat a banana in 3 seconds?"
"Uh, no. That's okay..." Lexi said, starting to get a little scared.
"Hey, I can help you unpack!"
"Uh, maybe you should take care of your own stuff first"
"Oh, you're right" Jill started her way back to her own side of the room, right as she tripped on a book and fell to the floor.
This will be an interesting roommate...for sure.
