The Quiet Spring

Chapter Twelve

(This is everyone Oliver and Corrina will be rooming with. I'll tell you their names and everything else in the story. Well, except for Tora. You already know her. I tried to change it a little today!)

Oliver's POV

Corrina and I barely got a chance to talk during the whole hour of driving to the beach place we were going to. All the guys were talking to me about trying to join a sport in the middle of the year. I thought that was crazy but they all insisted that their coaches or whoever would be fine with it. I honestly didn't have time to do any of that with my assignment taking up most of my time. Finally Miss. Ichi called our attention once again to tell us who we'd be pairing up with for rooms and telling us our group numbers. "Oliver with the Sori twins." I looked over to the front of the bus to see that both of the black haired, blue eyed twins were smirking at me. Oh great... I get the two polar opposites. Orano Sori had the brains of a three year old, but his brother, Tono Sori, did his homework at a passing grade so that stupid the moron could be in the same grade.

Tono Sori was the smartest person in the whole class, with Corrina being the second smartest. Tono also did chess club and soccer on top of schoolwork. It was a mystery on how he did all of it. "Next we'll have Tora with Corrina and Karin." I looked over at the blonde next to me. Like me, she was looking for the girls that were going to be in the same group as her. Karin was a short girl with Orange hair and matching eyes and had a low tolerance to anyone who pointed out her unnatural hair color. I saw a freshman ask he were she got it colored and Karin totally flipped out and gave the girl the finger before stomping off to her next class. Tora with the complete opposite of the girl and I had no idea how Corrina was going to handle this. Everyone else was assigned their roommates and then we went on with the groupings. "Hana with, Tora, Corrina,Oliver, Tono,Orano, Karin, and Kara. Next-" I was frozen. Was she serious? I was with these crazy people. Well, except for Corrina. But seriously!

I felt someone tap my right shoulder and I looked down at a curious Corrina. She looked like she wanted to say something, mouth slightly open, but had decided against it. "I'm fine. I'm just having a hard time with that fact that we're with a bunch of crazy people." I sighed. I felt Corrina's hand being put over mine and I felt instantly better. She seemed to have this warming aura around her that made people feel better. We pulled up to the resort thing a few minutes after the groups were announced and everyone got off and met up with their roommates to get the room keys together. Tono and Orano were in line so I joined in next to them. "Hey." I greeted with a short wave. The line moved along and we were third now. "I call the floor! I like it! No switchin's!" Orano cried out. "Pipe down Orano. We've been here for less than ten minutes and you're already making my ears hurt." Tono seethed at his brother. Damn this kid was cold! "Thanks Orano. I'm not much of a fan for the floor anyway." I told the now glum boy, scratching my head and laughing nervously.

Orano immediately brightened and flashed me a smile. I smiled back while Tono got our room keys. He handed one to both of us and then we went to the second floor to our room to change. We had today and the last day of the trip to go the beach so everyone was super excited to show themselves off. I personally wanted to see what kind of stunt some of the girls would try to pull off for attention from the other guys. I had Corrina and her just being here made me happy enough. We found our room and I snuggled my head on the comfy pillows. I chose the bed next to the window while Tono and Orano were having an argument about where the pillows and blankets were. I unzipped my dark green duffle bag and pulled out a black carpi looking swimsuit and headed into the bathroom to change. When I opened the door, my face connected with a white pillow. It dropped to the ground in utter silence. Tono had obviously thrown it because of his wide eyed expression and frozen position. I looked down so my long hair in front would hood my eyes as I picked up the pillow. I swung my arm back and nailed Tono in the face with the pillow, knocking him into his brother on the floor.
