Alexandra gulped down her nerves as she felt herself going red.
"Nice to meet you" She offered a hand out to Annabelle who just looked her up and down.
Alexandra knew that Annabelle was sceptical about her and couldn't blame her, Alexandra was her sister and maybe Annabelle thought that Alexandra was loved by their father or that she was a threat to her current happiness.
"Welcome to St Trinian's" Annabelle eventually replied in a way the felt cold to Alexandra. "Shall I take her up to the dorm Auntie?" Both girls looked at their Aunt.
"Yes, Thank you Annabelle" Camilla Fritton sounded wary, maybe she was worried by the way that Annabelle had greeted her younger sister, regardless both girls turned to leave.
"Oh Alexandra" Camilla called after the young girl just has she was about to leave the room.
"Yes Auntie" a timid and unsure voice replied.
"If there is anything you need, a shoulder to cry on, someone to vent to or someone to give you a lift… somewhere. You know where I am."
"Thank you Auntie." The young girls smile was warm and relax at last has she turned to follow Annabelle to the Dorms.
In the dorm.
Alexandra walked into the dorm she had imagined so many times in her dreams and it did not disappoint. The geeks were gathered in their area meddling with the stock market and hacking into super secret websites, the posh totties were lounging gracefully on their beds putting finishing touches to pedicures and manicures and gossiping about celebrities and the royal family, the emo's were deathly still in their custom made coffins which acted has beds not making a sound, the chav's were by far the loudest group with their pop music blasting out of speakers and many of them were singing along badly out of tune, the first years were busy making bets on their blackboard with the twins keeping charge of them and Alexandra had a bad feeling that they were betting on her whilst various smaller tribes of St Trinian's went about their usual business.
"That's your bed over there" Annabelle pointed to a small bed that seemed isolated in the first year's area. "There are several tribes…"
"I know" Alexandra cut her sister off.
"What?" Annabelle asked.
"I know all about the tribes of St Trinian's, what they do and how they all work. My mum was a St Trinian." Alexandra told her proudly.
"Hmm" Annabelle scoffed before walking away from Alexandra to join the posh totties.
Alexandra walked over to her designated bed and when she put her bags down on the bed it happened…
It all happened so faster, has soon as the bags hit the bed Alexandra felt something wet and slippery hit her head and travel down her body, then two pillows appeared out of no where and sandwiched her before and fan near her bed switched on and showered her with glitter.
The whole dorm erupted with laughter has Alexandra was covered head to foot in green goo, pink paint, feathers and glitter, it must have been an highly amusing sight has even the emo's were laughing uncontrollably. Alexandra felt that if she had an animated mini me, like Lizzie McGuire, that it would be bright red with embarrassment, shrinking in size till it was barely see able and drowning in it's own tears, Alexandra however refused to let the threatening tears overwhelm her instead she turned and run out of the room has quickly as was physically possible.
The laughter didn't stop after Alexandra had fled the dorm it just grew has everyone was falling over themselves laughing. Everyone that is except Annabelle.
Annabelle stood in stunned silence, confused by what she saw, the only thought in her mind was how could a girl who knew about St Trinian's, whose mum was a St Trinian be reduced to tears so easily… unless their was something in the young girls home life that had made her vulnerable, and that thought unsettled Annabelle but she didn't know why.
