Chapter 3: First Friends
Rosette was slowly walking down the hall. It was the quietest place she's ever heard. That is, if there was anything to hear.
She had a piece of paper in her hand with her room on it. It said, "317." Looking at doors on both sides while she passed, she heard a slight noise in a room. She flinched, but only because she didn't expect a noise. She kept walking until she reached a door that had her number on it. She took out a key that she got when she came in out of her pocket. She looked down the hallway again, seeing if anyone was hiding. No one was there (that she knew of) so she quietly unlocked the door.
Carefully (and still quietly) closing the door behind her, she dropped her luggage on the floor.
It was a simple room; pale blue walls, a bed, a dresser, a desk, and a closet. Rosette sighed. "I guess this will have to do..." she said... looking at the room. She walked to her bed when a sudden knock on her door scared her and made her fall.

There was a loud noise on the other side of the door, and Azmaria flinched. She wanted to open the door and see if the person was alright, but she didn't think it would be good manners. Lucky for her, she didn't have to choose what to do. The girl next door to the new girl, Satella, came out.
"What was that Azmaria?" Satella asked, with her German accent. "I thought I heard a crash."
Azmaria slowly pointed to the door that led to Rosette's room. "T-the new g-girl. I-I wanted to greet her, but I think I scared her instead."
Satella looked at the door. Being honest, she didn't think someone would come in two months after the school year started, but she didn't really question it. She walked up to the door and knocked on it. "Are you all right in there?" A quiet groan was heard on the other side. Satella sighed. She opened the door, politely saying "Sorry to intrude."
Inside she saw a girl on her bottom, rubbing the back of her head. Azmaria peeked inside from behind Satella, and saw the same thing. Azmaria didn't really think for a moment, went on in, and stood next to Rosette.
"Are you okay?" she asked, natural worry overflowing her.
Rosette looked up at her, smiling. "Yeah, I'm fine thanks."
Rosette looked around her room for a moment, almost as if she forgot where she was. When her mind caught up with what happened, she asked Azmaria, "Were you the one who knocked on my door?"
The albino looked away a bit. "I-I was, I'm sorry. Did I surprise you?"
Rosette laughed a bit. "A bit." Then she held out her hand. "I'm Rosette Christopher. Nice to meet you."
Azmaria took hold of her hand and shook it. "I'm Azmaria Hedrick. Nice to meet you Rosette." She then motioned her hand towards Satella. "This is Satella Harvenheit."
Satella smiled nicely. "I wondered what the sound was." She then studied Rosette. "I can't really believe one so small could make such a loud noise just by tripping. Perhaps you're a bit bigger than you look. Or maybe it's those clothes that hide it."
Rosette flushed a bit with anger. "Well, excuse me. I don't really have the money to get those clothes you're wearing." Rosette didn't pay close attention at first, but she did notice now, that Satella had expensive-looking clothes. They did bring out her figure well too.
Satella flipped her hair. "It doesn't matter. These clothes wouldn't look good on you anyway."
Rosette's anger rose more, and right when she was about to attack, three girls popped up in the doorway.
One had red hair and freckles, another was a brunette, and the other one had blonde hair.
They were looking at Rosette in her odd 'ready-to-fight' pose. They smiled at the same time at her. Rosette blushed slightly, and stood normally. The three girls came in and stood in a line.
The one with red hair started. "I'm Anna," she said happily.
The brunette went next. "I'm Claire," she said nicely.
"And I'm Mary!" said the last one cheerily.
Rosette couldn't help but smile. "I'm Rosette. Nice to meet you, Anna, Claire..." Mary was bouncing slightly up and down, "and Mary." Mary smiled.
"Well!" Mary said. "We now know who's gonna be our new friend!"
Claire hit Mary on the head. "Don't say 'gonna,' say going to." Mary just looked at Claire with puppy eyes.
Everyone laughed, except Satella of course, and the awkward mood was replaced by a light-hearted one.
This might not be so bad... Rosette thought.
GOMENASAI~! I know I said every week, but stupid school projects don't give me enough free time.
