Lavender was resting her head against the frosty window, her thick brown locks falling right below her shoulder, with a book in her hands. She didn't get out of her room that afternoon at all, even though the conversations of the students coming in was pretty welcoming and interesting.
A sudden jolt coming from the side of the door, awakened her from the dreamy state of her mind. "Who's there?"
She went up to the oaken doors and opened it to find a girl, with thick afro-curls falling right above her shoulder, with a crooked nose and large eyes who was staring back at her with a really tired expression. She almost looked shocked?
"hey.....I am Lavender ", she said looking awkwardly and stretched out her hands.
" Hi, I am Felicia ", she replied shaking hands with Lavender with a gentle smile tugging her lips.
"Come on, in", she opened the door wide for her to accommodate her suit case.
She entered their room looking around with a huge sigh, and then she started humming a tune while she opened her suitcase and organized her things. She had a good deep voice and Lav couldn't help but like her. Felicia looked like someone you would immediately be friends with, someone who you can trust.
"Are you new here?", Felicia asked and Lav responded by nodding. "We have to go downstairs for the Welcoming Ceremony in a few minutes"
Lavender and Felicia then spent their time getting ready for the Ceremony. Lavender felt nervous and Felicia assured her that it would be a simple ceremony, and nothing to be worried about. The students were allowed to wear any clothes they chose to for the welcoming ceremony.
Lavender took a beige color dress with laces at the end of the sleeve and floral patterns all over the dress. The dress came upto her mid thigh, and the neckline was slightly plunging. She put on slight make up, along with nude lipstick. She was proud of herself as she stared at the mirror. She looked stunning and she knew it. She looked beside to find Felicia in a red mid-thigh dress with that hugged her curvy figure very well.
"Are we ready to go?" She asked Lavender.
"Beyond ready", She replies. Something about Felicia's calming nature and her overall aura really captured her attention.
Lavender felt peace and moreover freedom. She realized that only now, when she didn't hear her mom's voice telling her that her make up is improper or her neckline is inappropriate, but she didn't hear anything else apart from Felicia's compliments and the leaves rustling. She had freedom now, She could do as she wishes to.
They closed the door and stepped outside to find huge crowds of students walking in the corridor accompanied with chatter and indistinct muffles. It wasn't long enough after they stepped outside their dorm, that they captured the attention of the students. Almost all boys were staring at both of them with wonder and surprise. The girls with a look of jealousy.
Lavender felt vulnerable at their glances. A sudden rush of insecurity went through her. She glanced back at Felicia. She stood there strong and fierce, unaffected by their stares. Her skin color a distinct brown shade of wood, was flushed and glowing as she muffled through her purse to find her phone."It will begin in a few minutes, we should hurry.", Felicia turned to her and said.

The auditorium was filled with wooden chairs all lined up neatly. Most of the chairs were already taken and on the front of the hall, facing the hall was a raised platform where a few teachers were standing, giving some instructions to the students.
Lavender looked around to find a spot with two chairs empty. She wanted to sit beside Felicia and led her there. As soon as then sat down, One of the teachers clapped her hands together calling for attention. She tapped against the mic for a few seconds and then began:
"Good evening, Welcome to all the students of Oakwood College. Today we are conducting a welcoming ceremony to brush you through the rules and timings. I am your Principal, Rose Parker." She waited for a few seconds and then began again: "We are provided with the responsibility of taking care of each and every student here, and we have a few rules that must be followed. First, No one shall disrespect any teacher and in case of any complaint, you must approach to me. Second, Do not stay outside for too long after the classes. It gets windy and extremely cold and dangerous for you to stay outside late. You must return by Six o'clock every evening to your dorm. Maximum by seven. In case of any parties or any gathering, permission must be granted. " She again stopped for a few moments looking through her square spectacles at almost each and every student as if to ensure that it is understood by all.
"Thirdly, Boys and Girls are not allowed to go to each other's dorms. If you want to meet each other, meet outside or in the corridors. That's all for now. You can refer to your handbook for more rules. Now, for the timings, We have our breakfast at 7:30 and you must wake up by 7:15 at least. The classes will start at 8:30. At 12:30 there will be lunch and the classes will continue up to 3' o clock. Attendance is crucial. Dinner will be start at 8:30. You must be in bed by 10:30. The details about your exams will be informed to you by your teachers in the respective class. This week is given for preparations for your new academic year and to be comfortable with the surroundings. Thank you students."
Lavender felt at ease, and these rules were easy to follow. It was very much similar to her mom's rules. She liked the Principal more that she would admit. She had a sweet tone, not very strict and looked carefree. She had blonde hair and small hazel eyes. Their dinner was about to be served and they were led to another large room with long benches and chairs.
"These rules are pretty easy to follow, not too restricting, don't you think? But anyway we break it all the time. We have parties outside the school at a nearby club almost every Friday. I will show you around the place "
"Felicia!" One of the girls squeaked and quickly jumped up to hug her when they approached the small table.
"Hey Lacey." She returned with an affectionate hug. "How was the vacation?"
"It was fucking amazing, that's all I can say..", She replied sitting back on the bench.
"She is my roommate, Lavender",
"Call me Lav, please." She smiled and sat down beside one of the boys with light brown hair.
