"Welcome to your new life, Hadley Devonne Thane," she said, making me smile.
"Thank you, Priestess," I said.
"It's Zoey. Call me Zoey. And you're welcome," Zoey said, and then she turned and walked off.
"I'm Isla," the girl said. She sat down on her bed, across from me.
"I'm Hadley," I said, looking at her.
"Come on," she said. She left the room, and I followed her, closing the door behind me.
Chapter Two: Meeting New Friends
"Come on," Isla said. She walked into a big, gigantic room that was filled with other fledglings. I looked up at the sign that said "Dining Hall" and walked inside and followed Isla to a table where a group of kids were sitting.
Isla slid into the booth and kissed the boy beside her. I slid in opposite of her and looked around.
When Isla pulled away from the boy she was kissing, she looked at me, then at every one else. "Guys, this is my roommate. Her name is Hadley Devonne Thane, but she likes to be called Hadley," she said.
"Hi," I said, looking at every one.
"Hadley, this is Liana," Isla said, pointing at the brunette girl beside me. "She is the smart girl in the group." Liana looked up from her food and smiled at me. "This is Jeremy," Isla continued, pointing at the boy who was sitting beside Liana. He smiled at me. "He's Liana's brother. Then that's Aaron," Isla pointed to the guy sitting next to Liana's brother. Okay, he was cute! He had scruffy blonde hair and blue eyes, and the way Isla looked at him, I could tell that they once had a thing, or she once liked him. "He's the bad boy of the group."
Aaron looked around Liana's brother at me, and smiled. He had such a cute smile! "Hey," he said. He sounded so seductive and, yet, at the same time, childishly.
"This is Ashlyn," Isla said, pointing at the girl who was sitting opposite of Aaron. "She's Aaron's twin sister."
Ashlyn looked up at me and smiled. "Hey," she said. She sounded so much like Aaron, as if she was Aaron, but she was a female version of him.
"Then, that's Jayce," Isla said, pointing at the guy who was sitting between Ashlyn and the guy that Isla kissed. "He's my older brother."
"What's up?" Jayce asked me, with a mouthful of spaghetti in his mouth.
I smiled back at him. He was kinda cute, had the same bright blue eyes and the same straight nose that Isla had. He had curly black hair that was cut short.
"Then this is Darren," Isla said, pointing at the guy who was sitting by her.
He smiled at me. I had to admit that Darren was the cutest- no, wait, the hottest- of the group. He had tousled black hair, brown eyes, full lips, and a straight nose. He had the hottest smile I had ever seen. When he smiled at me, it was like there was only me and him in the entire dining hall, and no one else.
"He's my boyfriend, so he's taken," Isla said. She leaned over toward him and kissed him. Isla broke the kiss after about 3 seconds.
"It's nice to meet you all," I said. I said it to every one, but I was staring at Darren.
I got a bunch of "nice to meet you's", but that was fine with me. I picked up my fork and began eating my spaghetti.
