Chapter 2 - Getting Settled In

Violet eyes suddenly shot open, brought from the light slumber from the night. She could hear someone knocking opening on her apartment door. "God she works quickly," she muttered, slipping herself up from the white carpet. Remembering the events from the night previous, she spotted that her window had been opened a creak. 'I had securely fastened you shut last night,' she accused the window.

"Miss Quesh, you have some packages down in the lobby!" she heard the elderly man shout.

"Coming, sir." Slipping her hoodie back over her bare shoulders, she snagged the key from the countertop and raced out the door, careful not to slam it behind her.

"When you said you had your belongings packed with you, I'm sure you didn't mean this," he spoke to her, not once taking his eyes from the newspaper spread in his hands. "You also have mail. It's sitting on one of the packages."

"Thank you, sir." Looking over each of the packages, some of them large enough to carry a folded up futon matress, she contempleted on the best method of getting them up the stairs. "Is there an elevator nearby?" she asked.

"Down the hall and second on the left."

"Thank you." Anica started with two of the smallest boxes, stacking them on one another. Carrying the packages, she noticed the creamy manila envelope taped to the top of one of them. 'I'll read you in the elevator.' Pressing the button carefully with her foot, she waited for the elevator to embark to her floor.

The girl heard the chime of the elevator arriving to her floor, and the silver doors opened, beckoning her in. She placed the packages on the elevator floor and pressed the button labeled 3. The thick silver doors began to close, and she carefully tore the envelope open and read it's contents.

Anica,

Seems as though you have already found some new living quarters. It's about time too, she was almost on you this time. We cannot have another mistake on our hands. As you've seen, your belongings have already arrived. Please make yourself comfortable in your new environment. Your passport must stay on your person, but keep it out of sight. Concerning your educational studies, I have already made arrangement for you to join the highschool of your current residences' town highschool. You are a transfer student from overseas, but you will not tell them of your country origin. When asked personal questions, keep your answers simple and short. Your school's information is in the rest of the packet enclosed in this envelope.

Despite all this, please let yourself have some fun once in a while. You are still yet a teenager, and you deserve it sometimes. I encourage further contact with you in the future, and so I have purchased you a brand new "toy", if you would call it that. It's the latest edition out, and Teque has already had its programs currently updated to this moment in time. You're last one seemed to be out of date and loaded with viruses.

Remember, you always have someone watching your back.

Adieu,

Rosetta.

"Thanks, Rosie," Anica spoke to no one, grateful for her friend's ability to see through any situation and act upon it. The teenage girl had currently finished pushing the last box to her room, it being too heavy to even think about lifting. Sure enough, there had been a folded up futon inside, complete with purple comforter, sheets, and pillow. "Rosie," she groaned.

Tipping the package to one side, she yanked the futon, but it wouldn't budge. With a grunt, she yanked harded, but nothing happened. Sitting herself on the floor, she placed both of her feet on the edges of the package, gripped the futon with both of her hands, and yanked as hard as she could.

Sure enough, the futon seemed to have managed to unfold itself and come whipping out of its containment, free from the prison of its confined space. Dragging it to one side of the room, she placed it in the corner, leaving the sheets and pillow in a messed pile atop it.

Vrrrr. Vrrrr. Vrrrr.

"Hm?" Her ears perked at the noise. A mumbled vibrating noise echoed through the apartment, coming from one of the small packages she had yet to open. Rifling through empty boxes, she found the source of the mysterious virbrating noise.

Using her apartment key to cut the tape, she opened the small packages to a brand new iphone 4, it's screen flashing from new instant messages received. "Thank you Rosie." Pulling the thin phone out of the box, she hesitantely touched the small envelope on screen, and a small chatroom had opened up.

DarkWingedAngel13: Anica, you at your new apartment yet?
Beast_In_Bed: No shit, Sherlock. Setta said shed be there.
DarkWingedAngel13: Don't be a dick, Xavier. I was just wondering if she had finally gotten herself settled in.

Beast_In_Bed: Thanks. Btw, I snagged your phone from Teque and downloaded a few new songs for you. Remember that song by Cinema Bizarre that you really liked?
BlueRose: Forever or Never?
Beast_In_Bed: Yeah. Downloaded it along with DbA and BM on your phone. Now you don't have to buy yourself an mp3 again.
BlueRose: :D
Beast_In_Bed: I really hate to cut the chat short, but the sun is coming up over her, and I'm pretty sure it's going down over there. And Sette said you had school to start in the morning.
BlueRose: She said I had school, she never said anything about me having to start tomorrow?
Beast_In_Bed: Oh damn. Either way, take a shower, dress nice, and have a good day plz. Here's a rose for my rose -
BlueRose: Ty. Nighty night.
Beast_In_Bed: Night, babe.

Placing the new phone next to her futon bed, Anica fixed the sheets over the mattress. Stripping herself from her old clothes, the dug through a box to find a shirt to sleep in. A Bloody Black rabbit shirt hung on her small frame as she crawled in between the sheets. Reaching over, she grabbed the small packet that had come with the letter from Rosetta and read it's content. "Dullsville Highschool," she read aloud. It didn't seem very large for a highschool.

"After school tomorrow I'd have to go shopping so I can cook," she mumbled, staring out the window into the nightschool. Voilet eyes watched as what looked like a flock of birds fly off. The way they hovered and moved about in the night sky, part of her wanted to believe they were bats.

Yawning, she stretched herself out on the futon matress, unaware of little green eyes watching her.
