Chapter 3:

We arrived at the mess hall in the main castle to find our room assignments and get our schedules. I scrolled through the signs designating the first letter of last names to find R. It was near the back of the grand dining area, which was embellished with blue and gold, the school colors. I walked over and greeted the administrator telling her my name. When she heard she smiled and handed me my welcome packet. This included my room number, names of roommates, my first year partner, and my class schedule. It listed as so:

Room- 1178
Roomates- Elizabeth Adams, Caroline Sheller, Abigail Birswick.
First year partner- Elizabeth Adams
Schedule-Covert Operations, room 202

I giddily ran over to Eli ecstatic that we were partners, and felt that our parents something to do with it.
"Were partners!" she yelled with her best valley girl accent. I giggled and hugged her, only to feel a presence behind us.
"I see someone got partnered together." Eric said with smile to his voice.
"Hell yeah we did. Who's your partner?" Eli asked with her usual demeanor.
"Silas Hawthorn" He said with no real inflection.
I had never heard of him, but from Eric's tone neither had he.
I grabbed Eli's hand and with a quick smile to Eric raced off to find our room. Right outside of the mess hall was a long corridor embellished with stone archways that lead to the main passageways. We had to walk a good distance to find the stairwell that lead to the connecting complex that held first year dorms. We walked across and found the elevator that would take us to the 5 floor where our dorm was located. The golden metallic doors opened and inside of the elevator was a complete work system, including message board and teacher memos.I smiled at the use of technology and pressed the button labeled 5. We giddily waited for the arrival at our floor and when it did we practically raced off and made our way to the main hall. The way dorms floors were set up was the dorm rooms bordered each floor with a small library , kitchen, and training room in the center for everyone to use. We turned left from the central rooms and found 1178. I grabbed the gold doorknob and with a smile opened the door.
"Hey, you must be Kristina and Elizabeth." Said a short red head with a fighters figure and light voice.
"I go by Eli." Eli said walking over to the window.
"And I'm Kristina, very nice to meet you..."
"Abigail, but call me Abby" she said with a smile.
The door opened to a tall blond with a short bob and glasses.
" HI, I'm caroline." she said with a deep southern accent.
"Im Kristina, thats Eli, and that Abby." I said pointing to the girls around the room.
We all smiled and started laughing.
"Can you believe were finally here." Abby said with a light tone.
"Not at all, but I'm glad I am." I replied falling back on my bed.
