Alright, so here's the next chapter!
I can't believe how fast the end of school is coming up! I have less than three weeks until I leave! Ah! Yay! And my trapeze show is this weekend! AHHHHHHHHH!
Thanks to Dolphinsplash12, Alia Sharma, 4Love4Love and HestiaAbnegation11 for being great reviewers!
Summer's POV
Summer looked around the room. Only two more girls were gone since yesterday, but it felt like more. Yesterday both Andromeda and Lilly had been eliminated after their dates. Apparently he just hadn't seen a connection with Lilly, and Andromeda had said some things that were rumored to be rude and unkind, and had been eliminated for it, but nobody knew what she'd said.
Summer looked around the room. She was kind of bored. Essentially, the Women's Room was a big socializing room, and she got tired of socializing, at least for now. She decided to go up to her room to get something to bring down to the Women's Room.
In her room, she was greeted by her maids hiding something behind their backs as she opened the door.
"Can I see?" Summer asked.
"No." They all replied in giggling unison. Summer started giggling a little.
"Well okay." She said, still laughing. She walked over to her bedside table, thinking she might have something there, when she noticed a letter with her name on the front. She shrugged, and opened it.
Lady Summer-
I was wondering if you
would like to join me for a
picnic in the gardens at lunch tomorrow?
Her maids were all looking at her, smiling.
"What're you going to do?" Asked Natalie, one of her maids, excitedly.
"A picnic tomorrow." Summer replied. Then she remembered why she'd come up to her room in the first place.
"Is there anything I could bring down to the Women's room?" She asked. They smiled sympathetically, as if they knew-which they probably did-how boring it could get.
Ten minutes later, she was walking down to the Women's Room with a bag her maids had found carrying some stuff-some trivia, cards, a couple books, some drawing materials, and several bottles of nail polish. She pushed open the door, and brought her bag of stuff over to the trio of chairs she liked-and actual chair that was really comfy, a bowl chair, and a furry beanbag chair, all by the window. When she thought of the Women's room at first, she thought it'd be proper and uncomfortable, but really, it was really comfortable and didn't have many proper chairs.
Grace walked over, flopping unceremoniously in the bean bag chair, looking up at Summer, and waving. Summer laughed, pulling out the bottles of nail polish. Grace looked up at them curiously.
"Nail polish." She explained. Then she had an idea.
"You want some?" She asked Grace. Grace shrugged and stood up, poking through the bag.
Finally Summer settled on hot pink and a sparkly brown-ish nude. Grace had a bottle of silver in one hand, and a sort of metallic dark blue and top coat in the other. Both of them sat down on the floor, kicking their shoes off.
Grace's POV
Grace looked at her nails. They looked pretty good, especially because she'd given them patience while drying. Metallic-y dark blue with silver speckles, it reminded her of the night sky. Plus two layers of clear coat. Summer's also looked good-all of the nails a hot coral except her ring finger, which was a sparkly brown/nude color. Grace closed up the bottle, hoping for the fumes to go away soon.
After lunch, she, Anastasia, Summer, and Riley started to play trivia.
"What's an atom that's lost its electron?" Grace asked them. The other girls bit their lips. Shaylienne, who was walking by, told them the answer.
"Positive." She said.
On it went. More girls came, and it made Grace happy to see all the girls together.
Then Sylvia came in. That meant only one thing. Lesson.
Ugh.
Anastasia's POV
Anastasia did her best to stand straight as Sylvia led them all to the room where lessons were held. She took her seat, using all her willpower not just putting her head on the desk. Sylvia shooed the last few girls in, and then went to the front of the room.
"Girls, today we will be learning about the history of our nation." Sylvia said. She perked up a little. It would probably still be boring, but nowhere near as bad as etiquette.
"And how did that happen?" Sylvia asked the class, referring to the debt of America. The class was going on and on. It was actually pretty interesting, but her feet were both asleep, and her back wasn't used to sitting this straight, much less for this long. She was getting to the end though. None of the girls raised their hands, so she simply sighed and dismissed the class.
Anastasia stood up once both of her feet were awake again, and started to walk out of the classroom. Summer caught up with her, and walked alongside her.
"How'd you think the lesson was, Anna?" Summer asked her.
"Better than the etiquette ones, but boring." She replied. Summer nodded.
"You can say that again. And we couldn't even slouch!" Summer exclaimed. Anna laughed.
Alright, so there's that chapter! It's kind of short, so sorry about that.
Alia Sharma-Thanks! And here's the eliminations
Dolphinsplash12-Basically it was boring and political so none of the girls really listened.
HestiaAbnegation11-That's too bad. I'll probably give Jesssamine a part on the next Report.
RQOTD-Are you addicted to caffeine, and if so, from what?
If I'm not, I'd be surprised. I drink a lot of black tea, so I'll have to stop soon before I go away for a bunch of stuff. *sigh*
