After dinner, we headed to the dorm.
" I'm so.. tired." I groaned as we approached my room.
" After all that running around the court, you deserve to rest plus, Mr. Sandler was particularly mean today, how could he expect us to memorize all the bones in the human body, I'm not even a science major!" Sid said and I chuckled, opening the door and walking in.
Woah
" Oh. My. God." Sid said, her mouth agape.
It was as if my room had gotten a complete makeover.
It was painted in grey and white, with grey beddings and a grey rug even the desk was changed, on it was various school supplies, I walked to the wardrobe and found my boxes neatly arranged with white colored hangers just waiting for me to sort them out,
Various snacks filled the once empty cupboard shelves and there was a comfy looking couch on the other side of the room.
The room was amazing, and cozy.
" Dear, munchkin.." I turned to see sid holding a piece of paper, I swiftly grabbed it.
" Hey!" Sid whined.
I read....
' Dear munchkin,
How was your first and second day?
I know, you must be wondering how your room got magically transformed?
Well, I'm the fairy godmother. Cause my munchkin deserves only the best.
Cheshire misses you, the furry little demon doesn't listen to what I say anymore since you're not here and it's only been one day!
Please don't cause any trouble and I know what you're going to say,
' I don't intentionally cause trouble, it just seems to find me wherever I go.'
**Rolls my eyes**
Anyway, I have a good feeling about this school.
I know this is were you'll finally graduate.
The house is so quiet and peaceful without you and I almost miss you already.
Just kidding, just kidding.
Maybe I miss you a little bit, just a little bit.
Study hard and have fun.
Mom also sends her regards.
Your favorite brother, Ian.'
I folded the paper with a small smile.
" So you have a secret lover you haven't told me about." Sid, who had made herself comfortable on the couch, spoke.
" Idiot. It's just Ian." I said, taking a can of Pringles.
"Ian.." she sighed.
" Ian Millers. My brother." I say
" Ohhhhhh..... and he calls you munchkin? How cute." She giggled.
" Stop it." I say, shoving a piece of Pringle in my mouth.
" He did this?" She asked, gesturing to the room.
I nodded.
" Wow. I'm jealous. If this wasn't the same room Esther's ghost haunts, I would've moved in with you."
" I kinda preferred the way it was before." I shrugged.
" And you call me the weird one." She said, shaking her head.
" I don't think the school has ever accepted a new student towards the end of the semester, and you get a whole dorm room all to yourself no need to share.... plus, after you graduate, you get to brag to your friends that you attended the prestigious 'Mt olives'.." sid said, dramatically, "you, my friend, are one very lucky girl."
" We are not friends." I deadpanned.
" You hurt me!" She gasped and I chuckled.
Drama queen.
**************************
" Why don't you eat." I asked sid, the next morning at breakfast in the cafeteria.
" What do you mean? Of course I eat."
" One piece of protein bar isn't food." I say pointing to the protein bar in her hand which she had barely eaten.
I don't think she wants to lose weight, I mean look at her, she's all skin and bones, any more thinner and we'll have to tie her to something heavy so she won't be blown away by the slightest breeze.
" I'm fine with this." She simply said, adjusting the thick round glasses on her face.
She doesn't wanna talk about it.
Just then, the boys from yesterday walked in everyone was gawking at them as usual, me included.
My eyes naturally darted to the mysterious brown eyed boy. Today he was wearing jeans and simple t-shirt that did more than enough justice in showing off his strong muscular arms, his tattoos were on full display. His thick brown hair was deshelved as if he had ran his fingers through it a couple of times, from where I sat i could tell he had a well sculpted jaw and the perfect nose to go with his face.
He was almost unreal...
What am I doing?.
" That's Xavier. Xavier cage." Sid said.
" Hmmmmm?" I asked, confused.
" The one you keep staring at." She said and I felt blood rushing to my face all of a sudden
What am I doing ??!
" Not like I care or anything but...w-who are they?." I asked sid who grinned like a cat who got the canary.
" I thought you'd never ask.." she said.
Oh boy... Here we go.
" The five of them are like the most popular persons In Mt olives, nothing gets past them. Students adore them and fear them even more than some teachers."
" Okay?" I said. She continues,
" James Green." She pointed to the silver haired and grey eyed one,
"The strangest in the group, also the most quiet, with a sinister smile always playing on his lips, he never talks to anyone outside their group neither does he get involved with anyone. He just.....has a weird vibe and is very..."
" Unusual." I chipped in
" Creepy." She said, with a slight shiver.
" Other than that, no one knows much about him...oh I almost forgot, he paints, he's like really good at painting." She says and I nod.
" Next, Evan Hansen."
Evan was a handsome guy with brown skin, thick black hair and black eyes.
" Evan is the nerdy one, he is calm and maybe a little sweet, unlike the rest of them, he loves reading, I'm pretty sure he's read the entire books in the school library, he's a science whizz too,
last year, he represented the school in a science competition,"
" Lemme guess he won the entire thing up to nationals." I said with a smirk.
" Yeah. How did you know." She said and I rolled my eyes.
" He always seem a little sad though, I heard he dated Kiara Jones one time and she broke his heart, ever since, he hasn't been able to move on." She added.
Well that's sad...
" Next, Michael O'Brien." She said, not pointing at anyone this time, but since I know the blonde one was Nathan and the other was Xavier, the only one left was the one with black hair and green eyes.
He wore a t-shirt and dress pants with a green jacket that matched the color of his eyes.
" He's the playful one in the group with his jet black hair and forest green eyes making him so...."
" Pretty." I say
" Hot." Sid said.
We spoke at the same time. Her cheeks immediately went pink.
Woah, okay.
" You like him." It wasn't a question.
" What? No! No I don't, that's.... that's....why would you say that." She argued, he face turning even more pinker, if that was possible.
" Oh.. nothing." I smiled.
" He's the biggest Casanova in the group, I mean girls are literally dying to be with any of them but they rarely get involved with anyone.
But Michael O'Brien? Oh... I'm pretty sure he's slept with half of the girls in Mt olives.
Like what is wrong with him, can't he just pick one, just one girl? Would it kill him?...." She rambled on.
Yep. She likes him alright.
".... he's annoying. Handsome though but still very annoying." She said.
" Okay." I grinned at her. She takes a deep breath and continues,
" You already know Nathan Lawson. Blonde hair, blue eyes and a charming smile. He's the picture perfect boy—The types that are always on the front page of magazines.
He's an athlete—captain of the basketball team, as you already know." She said hurriedly.
" And a little bit of a narcissist." I said.
" Meh. If I looked like that I'll be way more 'narcisstic'." She said using air quotes. I rolled my eyes.
" And finally, Xavier Cage." He's the most popular of them all for a lot of reasons..." Sid started..
I'm sure one of the reasons is the fact that he's drop dead gorgeous and insanely hot.....
As if hearing what I thought, his eyes met mine from across the room for the second time this week.
I felt my heart beat faster and then just as sudden as our eyes met, he looked away drinking from his bottle of coke.
"... he's the son of owner of Mt olives ...." I heard sid say, how long has she been talking?
"... he's the most notorious. No one who messes with him goes scot free, they always end up with more than one broken bones. He's rude and cold and.. scary," sid says.
" He has it all, good looks, money, good grades—did I mention that he's a valedictorian?."
" Woah." I commented.
" Woah indeed, but don't be fooled by all that, rumors has it that he's cursed. Like with some magic voodoo or something." She said
" Where do you hear all these things from?
Voodoo? That's... ridiculous." I said.
" Whatever..the point is, he isn't someone to mess with, Cocs. He's dangerous so whatever you're thinking, DON'T." She warned.
" Cocs?" I raised my eyebrows at the nickname.
" Don't change the topic. It's best you have nothing to do with him, stay away from him...for your own good." She added the last part quietly.
" Okay, okay, I wasn't thinking of anything, I just.."
What is wrong with me?
" Coco." Sid said my name.
" Don't worry about it." I gave a small smile.
" So there you have it, the kings of Mt olives.
They're so dreamy aren't they?" Sid said her huge grin returning,
One minute she's dead serious and the next she's grinning, weirdo.
Just then the bell rang..
