"Who are you?!".
"Who am I? Who are you?" The girl asked back.
"I'm Cassie and this is my room! What're you doing here?".
"I'm Linda and this is my room too!".
"Liar! I didn't see you at the selection hall".
"I didn't see you either! And what's your problem, can't you see a bunk bed?".
"Yeah, and?".
"And? We're roommates idiot!".
"Oh... Sorry about that. I'm Cassie by the way" Cassie said stretching her hand for a handshake.
"I know".
"You do?".
"Yes, you told me your name like a minute ago".
"Oh yeah. Uh... Well then nice to meet you Lindsay".
"Linda, it's Linda".
"Oh Linda? Nice to meet you Linda".
Linda ignored her and sat on the bed.
"So what's it like to have a roommate?" Cassie asked.
"Don't ask me, this is my first time too".
"Sure, so who's taking the top?".
"I can't, I'm acrophobic" Linda replied.
"You're agoraphobic? That's so sad".
"Acro".
"What?".
"Acrophobic not agoraphobic!".
Cassie nodded and sat beside her
"So how did you come to S.U.M.S? Did you meet an old lady?" Cassie asked.
"Old lady? No". She replied.
"Were you abducted?".
"Abducted?! No, why would I be... What's the matter with you?!".
"I guess I'm the only one with that experience". There was an awkward silence for a while and Cassie thought hard for what to say.
"Uh... Ah yes, what kind of monster are you?" Cassie asked after much thinking.
"Pardon?".
"What kind of monster are you? That crazy old psychopath said I am yet to be identified. So, what about you? Are you unidentified too?".
"By old crazy psychopath, you mean the principal, right?".
Cassie gasped in shock, "She's the principal?!".
"Yes she is and if you don't mind, I would like to unpack and arrange my stuff".
"Yeah sure, I should do that too" Cassie said and stood up. She went to the left corner of the room where she saw a bunch of boxes with her name written on them. She unboxed one, it was her uniform.
"Woah! This uniform is really pretty, look at the jacket! Where's yours?".
"Over there" Linda replied and pointed at a closet.
"Ooh cool, let me put mine there too".
"Uh no? That's my closet. Yours is over there".
"Oh sorry, didn't see it".
"Dear monsters of S.U.M.S, please head over to the dining hall so you can have your dinner!" The principal announced over the speaker.
"Finally! I really thought I was going to go bed hungry. I'm starving. Let's go Linda!".
"Why should we go together?".
"Uh because you're my roommate? Plus, it seems like you know here better than I do. You can lead the way and I'll gladly follow" Cassie said and opened the door. Linda took a deep breath and did as Cassie asked.
Cassie stood in front of the serving line with a plate.
"Cassandra Olsen?".
"That's me!" Cassie said and stretched her plate forward.
"Here's your dinner!" The serving lady said and gave Cassie her dinner.
"Thank yo... Wait a minute. You're giving me raw steak for dinner? What am I? A carnivore?".
"You are a carnivore". The serving lady replied.
"I am not. I don't eat people. I just...".
"Next!" The woman called causing Cassie to step aside.
"Melinda Stilton?.
"Here!" Linda said and stretched her plate.
"You are Melinda?" The lady asked.
"Yes, I am".
"Okay, here's your dinner".
"Thanks" Linda said and walked together with Cassie to look for a seat at the dining table.
Someone bumped into Cassie causing her plate to fall. She looked up and saw the principal's daughter who had a mean smile on her face.
"What a waste. You're lucky I wasn't planning on eating that. You should thank your God for that" Cassie said.
"Jokes on you, I'm an atheist". The girl said.
"Thank your stars then" Linda said to the girl.
"And who are you... To Cassie?".
"I'm Linda and Cassie's my friend".
"She is?".
"I am?" Cassie asked too, looking so confused.
"Yes she is and you just wasted my friend's dinner. I guess I just have to take yours". Linda said and snatched the girl's plate away from her and gave it to Cassie.
"Perfect, your steak is well cooked". Cassie said with a bright smile.
"See you next time... Bella" Linda said, "let's go Cassie!".
"Sure best friend!"
"Don't push it" Linda whispered.
"Got it" Cassie replied with a nod, "And thank you for standing up for me".
"You're welcome".
At S.U.M.S General Hospital
"Linda, please wake up. Mom misses you a lot". Mrs. Stilton said holding her daughter, Linda's hand who was currently in a coma. Mrs. Stilton felt Linda hold her hand.
"Linda?! Are awake? Can you see me?". Linda slowly opened her eyes.
"Mom?".
"Oh my goodness, oh my precious daughter. You're finally awake. I have to call the school" Mrs. Stilton said and turned her back to leave but Linda held her dress.
"Where's Lisa?" Linda asked.
"Melissa? I haven't seen her since the day you collapsed. Don't worry, she'll come see you. She's your twin sister after all" Mrs. Stilton reassured Linda.
"Mom... Lisa... Lisa was the one who poisoned me".
"What?! How dare she?! And where I'm the world is she now?!".
"Don't worry Mom, like you said she'll come to see me. We are twins after all".
