Adventures of Adira: School of Secrets

Chapter 3, Crazy Roommates

    My room is in front of the staircase, so it's not too far, and Lewis's room is right next to mine. When we reached the room I saw a girl standing in a clutter of bags and clothes. I guess that she must be fast because I didn't see her when I was waiting, though she could have come when I was talking to Heather and France.

   "Hello, sorry, excuse the mess, my bag got torn." The girl spoke in a very strong French accent. She had a beautiful face, but it was covered in dirt, and her brown hair was put in a messy braid. She had sparkling brown eyes and very red cheeks, I guess that she was tired or something. She had olive skin and was wearing a red and white striped shirt, a Jeans jumpsuit, and brown boots.

   "No worries, you must be new," I spoke as I reached down to pick up her yellow and blue striped shirt.

   "Oui, I am Adria." She introduced herself, then continued picking up her clothes from the ground.

   "Hi Adria, I am Adira." I introduced myself.

   "Yeah hi, I am Heather, and I am also new," Heather spoke in a cheery attitude.

   "It is very nice to meet you, girls," Adria spoke.

   "Thanks, so I am guessing you come from France." I guessed.

   "Oui, but not from the Paris, I come from a village close to the Paris. My family has a farm." Adria replied. "Where are you from? I'd like to guess America."

   I was shocked, I am not close to being American, but I guess she thought I was because of my accent. "No, I come from the middle east, a small country called Lebanon." I cleared.

   "I know this country, it got its independence from France." Adria acknowledged.

   "Wow, the Middle East, I thought you're Russian, like me" Heather spoke.

   "Why would you think that?" I queried.

   "Your hair." She replied. I actually expected that as many people say that I look Russian.

   "Wow, hold the phone, Heather you're Russian?" I asked and she nodded, "but you have an English accent."

   "Well I am actually half Russian, but I was born there, then I went to the UK, after that, I moved to Alaska when I was seven, then moved back to the UK three years back." Heather justified.

   "That explains your accent, but if you are half Russian then what is the other half?" I asked while Adria put her clothes in the broken bag.

   "I am half Russian and half Spanish." She answered. "But I have never been to Spain."

   I looked across my shoulder to find that Adria was having trouble with her bag that kept ripping every time she closed it. "Ok, so Adria you can put your clothes in that closet, and Heather you can put yours in that one too," I spoke as I gestured to the closet next to the desk.

   Ok so here's the deal, the bedrooms are pretty much all designed the same. When you enter the first thing at your right is a white framed mirror and a clock above the mirror. The girls have the clocks designed into cute butterflies or flower themes, while the boys have more of a normal circular clock. Next to the mirror comes the closets with drawers and shelves. Around 100cm in front of the closet at the corner comes the vanity, and around the vanity from both sides comes two beautiful crystal chandeliers with LED bulbs. The boys' rooms lack a vanity, so they have more space with that gap.

   A few centimeters from the vanity comes the first bunk bed. In front of the bunk bed is a trunk that can also be used as a bench. Since we have bunk beds, a cool wooden structure is placed next to them to act like a lower and top 'night stand'. A comfy bench, or couch if you want to call it that, acts as a mirror in our rooms, since the wooden structure and bunk bed are placed symmetrically to the ones on the opposite side with respect to the comfy bench.

   As the girls were putting their clothes in the closet a girl appeared at the door. She walked around three inches as we stood then she yelled: "move! Honestly turtles!" I felt that misery had landed upon me until she started laughing, "oh you should see your faces, oh you guys fell for it. Ok so relax I am not mean, I am actually very nice until you give me a reason to be mean." She spoke as she stood between the beds. The girls and I calmed down and they went back to organizing their clothes in the closet while I sat at the left bed.

   "So I am Zenny, don't ask." She spoke. "What bed will I get? I really don't mind sleeping down here, or up there"

   "Well to be honest I am in the same boat as you. You guys choose and I will take the last remaining bed." I replied.

   "So you are all new?" Zenny asked.

   "No well, it's my first year having roommates, so I don't specifically have a bed," I explained.

   "Okay, then I will take this bed," Heather spoke as she touched the bottom right bed.

   "And I will take this," Adria spoke as she touched the top right.

   "So that means I get this," Zenny spoke as she put her bag next to me.

   "Great, then I get the top left. My favorite." I proudly claimed as the girls laughed. Then each continued putting their clothes in their closet. So now Adria and Heather share a closet, and Zenny and I share one too.

   Zenny is also a beautiful girl. She has stunning wavy raven black hair, brown eyes, and light skin. Her face looks young, she has almond eyes, a small straight nose, and pink cheeks. She told us that she's from Lebanon, so that would explain where she got the beauty. Just kidding, but at least it's nice to have someone who can speak the same first language as you, well sort of, she can teach me and Lewis more anyways.
