My Fairy Tale

Chapter 16

This place has about twenty girls and twenty boys. There is a library, a pool, a games room, a cinema room and of course a dining room, which is where group sessions were held that everyone must attend. Kaylie told me they were pretty boring, but as long as you contribute at least a little bit, they won’t hassle you. “So, I’m going to go back and shower before dinner, do you think you can make it back to our room without getting lost?” She asked. “Yeah I should be able.” I smiled. She nodded before walking off. I explored a little more. It turns out that if you are showing improvement you get visitors. I already miss Skye. I was off in my own world when I bumped into someone. Oh my god finally, a hot boy. “Hi.” He smiled. Now he, he was the perfect boy, brown hair and perfect hazel eyes. “I’m Luke, and you are?” “Shelby.” I replied.

Luke: “You must be new here?”
Me: “Is it that obvious?”
Luke: “No, but I would remember seeing your beautiful face any day.”
Me: “That’s sweet.” I smiled.
Luke: “So, what extreme sport do you do that made you end up in here?”
Me: “I have to do a sport to end up anorexic?”
Luke: “No, but most people in here are athletes.”
Me: “I’m not an athlete, more like school nerd, I just forgot to eat I guess. What about you, what extreme sport do you do?”
Luke: “You’re too pretty to be a nerd. But I’m a dancer.”
Me: “Thank-you. A dancer? My best friend dances.”
Luke: “Really, what’s her name?”
Me: “Skylar Jacobs.”
Luke: “Skye is your best friend?”
Me: “You know her?”
Luke: “Of course, Skye is the best girl dancer in Australia, and I am, I was, the best boy dancer.”
Me: “You’re Luke Benson?”
Luke: “You’ve heard of me?”
Me: “Skye’s mentioned you a couple times.”

He just smiled at that. He had a really cute smile. We spoke a bit more before going our separate ways. Hella was he cute. But I don’t like him, not like that at least. One, because I remember the amount of times Skye has mentioned she had a massive crush on him, two, because of Stefan. He and I are done, but I still like him, I shouldn’t like him. He broke me, and I don’t know how to get over it. But starting something with a new person while I’m still incredible in love with Stefan will be impossible. Stefan broke love for me.

I found my way back to my room. There was an hour until dinner, so I used that time to shower. Kaylie said that most people just wear their pyjamas, because at night they usually hold a movie night, before bedtime. So I just put on my short baby blue and white checkerd pyjama pants with a white single before putting my hair up in a messy bun, with fluffy slippers. Everyone was sat at the dining room. I quickly took a seat between two boys. Luke and another really cute guy. Gosh darn it; it’s going to be hard to concentrate on myself when there are cute guys everywhere. Luke just smiled at me and so did the other boy. After a bit everyone started to grab tongs and start taking food. Tonight was spaghetti Bolognese, which I wasn’t aware, was healthy, and this place usually only serves healthy food, but I like spaghetti anyway, so I dug in.

“Shelby slow down or you’ll choke.” Luke laughed. I just blushed. “Sorry, I haven’t eaten much lately except for hospital food.” I replied. “Ah, a new recruit?” The other boy chimed in. Luke just nodded. “Shelby this is Joe, Joe this is Shelby.” Luke introduced. “Hi Joe, what did you do to end up here?” I asked. Luke just nudged me. I looked at him and he shook his head, I gave him a confused look before turning around to see Joe standing up. “May I be excused?” He politely asked. Katrina nodded her head and he left. I turned back around to Luke. “He doesn’t like talking about his story; none of us in here know it, except the psychiatrists and Katrina of course.” Luke informed me. I just nodded before looking back at my food. Now I lost my appetite, I feel like the worst person, but then again, how was I supposed to know?
