lavender Hills

Chapter 2

The marble floor was shining and reflected back the golden lights of the white chandelier hanging from the high ceiling.  An entire wall on the right was covered with mirrors. Lavender glanced at them.

I look like a mess.

Her brown thick, wavy hair was tangled completely. Her boots was covered with snow at the soles and her turtle neck top had  little snow crystals at the tips of the long-sleeve. 
Certainly not a good impression.

She let out a long sigh. She could feel the increased rhythmic beats of her broken heart. Lav could almost feel her heart wanting to escape from the ribs. The adrenaline was rushing through her veins, like a small stream flowing in a fast pace across a woodland. 

There was a reception desk just six feet ahead. They approached the lady sitting there, with a phone in her hand and typing away rather furiously in the laptop. She was mumbling some yes's and no' s to the phone.  Lavender's mom slightly tapped her fingers against the glimmering desk. The lady slowly looked up and quickly set the phone down, smiled at her mom and  then slowly looked at Lavender from top to bottom. She looked confused seeing her attire. She brushed it off quickly and looked at the laptop again. Then she got up, took a key from one of the drawers. 

"Welcome, here are the keys to your dorm. I will have someone take your luggage and lead you to your room.", the lady said handing them the keys in a very soft and high-pitched voice. 

.

They followed a long course of winding corridors. With each turn of way, the School looked more and more ancient but classy. 

There was silence stretched across the hallways, except for the sounds of her boots against the stony floor. She felt a huge wave of isolation hit her, as if she was stranded in the middle of an ocean, with her hands tied to the salty rocks, and there was silence everywhere. There was a small wooden door after each pace of five feet with numbers written in a placard. Must be the dorms, but why is no one here?

They came to a step at the dorm numbered 112. The potter opened the door with the keys and kept the luggage inside at the corner and went away very quickly, he was scared. The reason which Lavender didn't know, but of course it must be her family name. 

The room was furnished very well, and much to her surprise, exactly how she would have wanted it to be. There were old paintings on the wall, above the wooden old bed. A small desk was against another wall where there was a small window. The window looked outside to a small winding path with trees. 

The path led to a huge lake. The scenery was so enchanting, that Lavender just stood there, her wooden-colored irises following the path outside the window and breathing in every speck of fresh air. The air smelled of roses and salty water. 

Her mom sat on the bed, looking at Lavender and taking every inch of her charming appearance. She wasn't going to see her for the rest of the year.

"ok, dear, Now I am about to go. The classes will start after one week that's why you didn't see anyone else. Other Students will be arriving soon today itself, I think. " 

"ok, mom"

"yes, now give me a hug". 

It was a hesitant hug from Lavender's side and her mom was squeezing the breath out of her. 

After all. I am not going to see her for the rest of the year.

Her mom patter her back and turned to leave. With out any other word, she left, left her alone, there, where no one else was. 

Whatt? I don't even know what I am supposed to do. fuck, Did she just leave me alone? I mean there in no problem, I can handle this, but..

Lavender sat on the bed with a quick motion. Her shoulders dropping down and her weight lowering the comfortable bed. Tears started flowing from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks, slowly dripping on her laps. She felt like drowning, screaming but no one can here her, and the waters slowly started filling her lungs. 

She laid back on the bed, and stared meaninglessly at the ceiling.

Lavender's outfit:

A brief look of the dorm, I really couldn't find any other image, lol, I think this one is quite similar to what I think the room would look although with one more bed and less of the wallpaper. You are free to your imagination !
