School of the Damned
Chapter 5
Elena caught her breath as she sat her duffel bag down next to room 819. They must have really hated her if they out her up here when there was no elevators in the building. She fumbled for her keys and placed it in the lock.
Elena almost jumped several feet when she saw a girl on the other bed reading a book. She hadn't expected anyone to be there when she arrived. The girl had red hair and green eyes.
"Who are you?" Elena asked after the shock wore off
"I'm your roommate Janelle. What is your name?"
"Elena."
"Well Elena welcome to the club."
"Why aren't you in class?"
"It's the same old same old. They've already taught us all the stuff they could. So I decided to skip today."
Elena put her stuff in the drawers as Janelle read her book in silence.
"Do you know anyone here?" Janelle asked.
"A few."
"That's cool. I only know the in-betweens.."
"How many are there?"
"You're number ten. We're a rare breed."
"Wow."
"I'll introduce you to them tomorrow."
Elena nodded and felt the need to do anything. It was still a good eight hours before she could see Stefan and she didn't want to spend it talking to Janelle. Tiredness pulled at her, but she wanted to shower and eat before she slept.
She pulled out her pajama shorts and a tshirt and headed to take a shower.
The water melted her stress away and she used some of the extra hotel products that she found to get clean. When she stepped out Elena noticed that she had been in there for a good two hours. Janelle had started another book as Elena's stomach rumbled. Janelle pressed a button by the fridge and a virtual menu appeared.
"Go ahead and order whatever you want. Ester's suppliers give us loads of stuff for free."
Elena scanned the menu and got a plate of red enchiladas with beef and a soda. She opened the fridge and was amazed to actually see it in there. She took it out and Janelle pressed a few buttons that made chips and salsa and a tea appeared. They sat down at the table and ate.
Janelle made a face as Elena brought up the bus ride there and how she met Rebekah and the clones.
"Well I would steer clear of those girls. Rebekah is a big bitch and her sisters are no better."
"Why are people afraid of them?"
"They're Ester's Quadruplets."
Elena's eyes widened as she let out a breath. So much for helping Damon take Rebekah down.
"So you're Stefan's girlfriend. Is he okay to you?"
"He's the best."
Janelle smiled and Elena yawned.
"Well I'm going to take a nap."
Janelle nodded as Elena drifted off to sleep.
