Buckingham - Being Rewritten

Chapter 1

Today's the Day I finally leave for my Junior. year at Buckingham Academy, somewhere Vermont. I might live in the state but my parents decided spending me off at boarding school for two thirds of the year would do me some good. Ever since I was 14. My parents thought since we have money and lots of it, why not send me to not just the best but most expensive boarding school in the country.

And then I hear it, the most dreaded song in the whole world. "ELLE DONNA ST. CLAIR IT'S TIME TO GO TO THE AIRPORT". My mother believes that if you can book a flight there it's a must to fly there. Which is pretty stupid when you can fly about a town over.

I can't believe it's back to a place where my arch rival, my best friend, and my brother all go. Buckingham Academy. Mascot the mighty titan. But I have to go. I know I do, but it's just I don't wanna see the worst of the year. So as any normal person would I go downstairs bags and all ready to go to my personal purgatory.

Almost as soon as I hit the marble entryway stairs I hear my mother scream "JAMES DEAN ST. CLAIR IF YOU AREN'T DOWN HERE RIGHT THIS MINUTE I WILL GROUND YOU UNTIL YOUR WEDDING DAY". It rattles in my ears as if it was personally for me screamed right into my soul. And just then I hear a click. It's my brother's door. As I see him finally emerge from his personal paradise, I am relieved that I can finally stop hearing mom scream for him over and over again.

It's time. It's time. It's finally time to head off to Buckingham Academy. My brother, my mother, and I all pile into the car. And then were off to the dreaded place called the airport. The drive seems like a blur of just small talk and every once and a while I hear oldies. I am now officially unable to get out of going to Buckingham.

Once on the private jet I finally get to just breathe. I love flying because it's so calm and peaceful. Even if you're in a steel box flying in the sky, that at any moment could crash into the ocean and you would be lost to the sea. The flight of course is only 30 minutes, so we arrive there in no time. Once I get off the jet I start to bite my nails and mess with my hair. I'm going back, back to hell.

Hell is what I call Buckingham whenever My arch rival Sebastian Taylor is around, which is all the time, so Buckingham has always been hell. Oh god I hope he transferred to some school in who knows where. Where I'll never have to see him again.

And into the all familiar black car once again. To the school that's been the setting of my scariest and weirdest dreams. And back to the place where Sebastian Taylor is too. Hell.

~~~~~~~~~~

As the car pulls up at Buckingham I stare at the beautiful brick building as well stare back at the long pavement ending in a roundabout surrounding a fountain. And then just then I see my arch rival Sebastian Taylor. Rivals since freshman year, both being top of the class people always expected us to be friends or go out once or twice even thought we would hook up, mainly Diana. But none of that has or will ever happen. I'm not denying he isn't attractive, of course he is, with the fluffy brown hair and the 6'2 height of the guy.

Once the car halts to a stop I hop out and run straight over to Diana. Diana my best friend and roommate. She got braids over the summer and may I say they look amazing. There's this undeniable excitement between us when we hug. It's like we haven't seen each other for the last 2 and a half months, which we haven't.

Diana and I keep trying to talk over each other attempting to get any sentence about summer when she finally wins this conversion starter and says "I can't believe it Jr year, and with my best friend as a roommate I am so excited. I was thinking we could have a matching theme for the dorm like those sorority girls. But like not in the weird culty way in the cute way in the 'we like the same things way'. It all came out so fast but I understood every word. May I say Diana is crazy good at interior design, she wants to major in it after all.

~~~~~~~~~~~

When me and Diana finally get to the dorm with some left-over stuff from last year's residents, it's not bad though it's only a few things. The right side looks like it gets the most sun that would be good. I run for it claiming the right side all for myself. Diana, now stuck with the left side, sits her suitcase on her bed and starts to unpack. I should probably do the same. I really should.

I grab my box of books and begin my weirdest tradition of all, unpacking books first. Starting with Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon, and ending with They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera. I had a limited bookshelf as it is a dorm. There's only a small one above my desk and above my bed. Beginning the year off right, since I'm gonna be here for the next 9 ish months. I better make the best of it.
