Lunch was a disaster,but I was the one standing out.
Bathrooms? Not meant for me. I'll wade it out 'till every single guy's out of the bathroom. Were these the only bathrooms the school had? Crud.
"Hey!" A hand latched onto my shoulders with a smiling Luke coming after.
"Hey," I said,"What do we do after school's done?" I rolled my suitcase to a halt. He did the same,though he was laughing.
"What? Is there something wrong?"
"No...it's just," He choked on his laugh,"your suitcase. I didn't think you're the type to like-"
"Oh my gods," I picked up my bras from the floor,and shoved it in my suitcase. He kept laughing.
"It seems you've got a girl back home,Chase." Luke said. He didn't think it was mine. Good.
"Yeah,okay. You got me. Luke,can you tell me the answer?" I kneeled next to my suitcase and pulled out a shirt to tie the sides together. I stood up,and we both started walking to the dorms.
"You go to the club you got your scholarship from,and practice on the coaches schedule. Mine's Soccer,and since you're bunking with a swimming deity you're either a swimmer,soccer player,or track star. Which one are you?"
Swimming deity. I hope he's a little less power housed in the head. I've looked up to him for so long."Track. I'm a sprinter."
"Really? Good,we need you for our special events coming up soon." He looked at me,"Don't ask. It'll be fun."
We entered the dorm buildings and the interior was like a five-star hotel. Five-star hotel for a highschool. Still,I was impressed.
"This is our living room. We share it with the other dorms."
There was leather chairs next to eachother in a big circle with openings every three couches. On the side with the biggest opening was a huge flat-screen connected to the wall. It sat on a wooden shelf full of food and magazines. The floor was carpet until it touched the marble counters. The counters had red fancy turning chairs with the lights dangling from the ceiling,and there was a gold fish bowl sitting in the center.
"Do you like it?" He asked. I shook my head.
"So...is the dorms all connected?"
"Yeah,pretty much. In dorm one,we have the elegant girlies. Figure skating,gymnastics, and sword fighting." He pointed to a dark hallway on one side of the room.
"Dorm two's us. We get the bigger dorm,because well,we're awesome." He pointed to the otherside of the room with a different hallway that had lights on.
"And the third one's theater,taekwondo,and...I forgot the last one,but that's not important. They're all enemies. Ready to go to our dorms?" He asked,already walking to the lit hallway.
I followed.
"I'm in room thirty-two-twenty-four. You're...right here. Two doors down from mine. Look,someone's inside."The room door was open. I kicked my stuff inside,and Luke came in too.
"Wow. It must pay off to be an Olympic celebrity. You get to live in here." He looked around with his hands,touching stuff.
"As I recall,you're a celebrity too." I pointed out.
The room was huge,even for a school like this. There was a small up stairs with a comfortable living space with a window facing the grass fields,and a drawer with a lamp. Connected to the upstairs was a small staircase leading down. The bed downstairs was king size,and there was a small desk under the case. Next to the wall was a working desk with a laptop,and there was a bathroom next to it. It made a flushing noise.
"Hey,Andrew,I gotta get to practice. Don't forget you have practice sometime too." He left.
I pulled my suitcase to the side of the stairs. The bathroom door opened,and surprisingly,it wasn't my roommate.
"Ah,who are you?" He asked. It was a guy I've seen before,but I couldn't recall his name. He didn't have his uniform on.
"I live here. Who are you?" I asked. I was upstairs now,with my suit case on the floor.
"Oh,so you're the roommate? Hmm,I thought he asked for a room to himself." He shrugged,taking out a mint from his belt...pocket...thing."You want one?" He offered.
I shrugged,"Sure." He gave me one through the railing of my floor,and I sucked on the mint while he talked.
He sat on the beanbag on the middle of the floor."So...how're you doing?"
"Fine,I guess." I refolded my clothes and put it in the drawers.
"Good. That's the spirit! Hey,do you know where a big guy with a buzz cut's at? I'm trynna hide,and well...y'know...this is usually my hide out." He concluded.
"No,I didn't see anyone."
"You're not much of a talker,are you?" He asked.
"I am. Just a little busy." I placed a picture of myself with my mom standing in front of the library we used to go to. I was smiling more in those days.
"LeoValdez. " A pale,skinny guy stomped through the room without knocking. He seemed angry. He grabbed Leo's shirt,and pulled him up to his feet. He growled," What did you do to my-"
Leo pointed to me with a nervous grin,"-Before you kill me,we have a guest." The pale guy in black looked up to my direction. He didn't seem in the mood for greetings,and went back to killing Leo.
"What did you do with my ring."
"That was yours?" Leo looked up at me as if I was in the situation."Wrong person,you should've told me this guy was coming."
"Answer my question." He half shouted,demanding.
"I'm borrowing it." He said,as if that was the obvious answer." My goldfish needed it for a date. Saw a pretty marble,and guess what he asked her out! Can you believe it?"
"Goldfish-"he gasped. The boy let Leo go,and rushed out the room.
Leo went out the door,as well. He popped his head in,"Nice to meet you.",and left.
I stayed in my room,and pulled out my laptop. It was time to tell my brother I made it to school in one piece.
A/N: hope you liked it! Sorry Percy wasn't in this,but I hope Leo and Nico's appearance made up for it. Sorry for not updating,but I'll update soon! I'm not too good with keeping a schedule.
I love you all,and thank you for everything! Review and tell me what you think.:)
Love,BubblegumGenius
