7 reviews! So it's seven uh...I think it was shrews? No, it's seven sparrows for Purdy's Vacation Village for the Elders!
Sorry for not updating sooner, I got the laziness disease and was playing a game. Also, to those of you who are reading Underestimated, I'll be updating that one next before I focus on this one again.
I don't know what dorms are like, so you could tell me if I describe them wrong.
Also, I shall say this only once - I'm going to use past tense for third person while I'll use present for a person's POV. I don't want to say this again...
Third Person POV
Ivypool scanned her schedule quickly. The sleepy office assistant had handed her and Dovewing their schedules and the keys to their room. Ivypool immediately compared them to Dovewing's.
"Do whatever your schedule says," the office assistant said, taking a long gulp from her cup of coffee. "There are no mistakes."
They had no classes together, not even lunch. Ivypool had lunch A while Dovewing had lunch B. The only similarities the twins had was that they were both on the Thunder team.
Dovewing gave her a crestfallen look before going off to the direction of the girls' dorms. Outside the office, two arrows had helpfully pointed out where the dorms were. (Girls on the right, boys on the left.) The room numbers were printed at the bottom of the schedule. Dovewing and Ivypool had different rooms, which Ivypool found disappointing since she had to share a room with someone that she didn't know.
Room B-5...Ivypool glanced at all the room numbers at the girls dorm. None of them started with the letter "B" - they all started with "G." Dovewing had probably already found her room.
After a while, Ivypool started getting pissed off. She wanted to sleep since it was eleven already, but there was no room "B-5" in the girls dorms place. Ivypool gripped the key tightly and felt the sharp edge running around her fingers. It was enough to keep her awake to find her room.
She started heading back towards the office, telling them that there was a error on her schedule. Then she remembered what the office person said - there were no mistakes. What was she supposed to do then? Or...what if the room was at the boy's dorms?
Ivypool trotted along the path that led straight to the boys' dorms. None of the numbers matched hers. She felt the urge to give up, but not after spotting a bunch of rooms on another building isolated next to the boys' dorms. There were huge windows that was covered in curtains, and Ivypool held her breath as she skimmed over the numbers by the doors. At least they all started with B instead of something else.
Ivypool sighed in relief as she finally found her room. It was strange...why would there be more dorms next to the boys' dorms while she was a girl? Though she didn't give much thought about it since she insisted that she was male in middle school. It just felt right to do that.
She jammed her key into the handle of the door and twisted it. The door opened easily, and Ivypool rushed inside and turned on the lights.
The lights didn't work, and she faintly recounted the time where she read that some boarding schools had lights turned off after a certain time in the night. Ivypool sighed in disappointment, but light flickered dimly on the ceiling lamp. That was a delayed reaction...about ten seconds.
Ivypool glanced around and discovered that it was a single room since there was only one bed. She felt a small bit of satisfaction as she set her suitcase and backpack down at the foot of her queen-sized bed.
There were seven towels on her bed with her initials (IW) embroided onto them while underneath them there was a plain white blanket and two pillows. A drawer stood next to her bed and a nightstand held a lamp nearby it. There was a full-length mirror on the farthest right, a bookshelf that held a few books, and a desk right beside the bookshelf had a coffee pot placed right on the wooden surface. Straight ahead, there was a mini closet and Ivypool reminded herself to dump all her clothes in there when she had the chance.
She crawled onto her new bed without taking any clothes off and dozed off.
This took forever to write since I was playing a game while doing this. XD The next chapters will start becoming dramatic...maybe. Just maybe.
Here are the equations:
One review - one mouse
One favorite - two mice
One follow - two mice
I don't know why I keep doing those equations stuff...it's just fun, I guess.
Question of the Day
What would you do if you see a cat in your backyard/front lawn?
If it were me, I would approach it slowly so it doesn't run away. Then I'll squeal and play with it.
So please review!
