Crimson Academy

Meet The Roommates

The sounds of voices filter in from downstairs and my body immediately goes tense, looking away from the screen and towards the door. Callie lets out a sequel from besides me and springs up from the bed, "Come on Jade, time to meet your other roommates."

I don't really know how to feel about that sentence. I don't like people and I'm kind of nervous.

Although Callie doesn't press and ask questions, will these people?

I stand up and follow her out the door we make it to the upstairs balcony overlooking the floor below while Callie lets out a loud, "Good evening everybody, and welcome home." I look down at the people below and four sets of eyes stare back up at me. Callie then directs her outstretched arms to me, "Say hello to my new best friend and our new roommate, Jade."

There's a chorus of hello's from my new roommates and I respond with a small wave still a little uncomfortable with their undivided attention.

Callie leads me down the stairs and in front of the group, they're quite a beautiful group of people. "Hi, I'm Lena," a girl with long black hair greets me a amused smile on her face, her clothing is tight and black and resembles the outfits Cohen would put me in for missions, her eyes are a deep brown with little gold specs in them.

"I'm Phoenix," I turn towards the man with dark blonde hair, he wears a cocky smirk on his face as he greets me, his mischievous green eye's staring deeply into mine, he's tall probably 6'1 but his body is proportionate to his height, he's wearing jeans and a polo that fit his body perfectly and is very conventionally attractive with his golden boy smile.

"Nice to meet you Jade, I'm Charlie," he's only a couple inches taller than me so I'm guessing a 5'10, he doesn't give off the cocky player like Phoenix but seems more shy and reserved, he doesn't make a lot of eye contact as I take in his features, he has a soft face and small features but I can see a small jagged scar on his forehead, he wears light washed jeans and a blue t-shirt, he's holding binders, books, and folders in his hand, he definitely give off smart nerd but his body is very well built, his shirt isn't tight on him but his jeans hug his thighs tight, emphasizing the muscle in them.

"Finn," I look towards the grumbling man and my oh my is this man built, he's the tallest of the bunch and at least 6'4, he's wearing the same type of outfit as Lena but his look's even tighter leaving little to the imagination, his arm muscles look like they could rip his shirt in any second, the man looks like a tank. I take in the man in front of me, his dark brown hair that's shorter on the sides and longer up top, his hazel eyes look me over carefully almost analyzing me with a distasteful look on his face, his features are sharp but hold a captivating beauty to them. I wonder if everyone is this beautiful here.

I'm taken away from my thought by Lena, "Its so good to have another girl around here." I turn to her a beaming smile on her face, and I can't help but smile back, "I was just about to cook dinner, is there anything you want to have on your first night here," she questions. I shake my head no, I don't have very much experience with foods. Cohen would give me many magazines, and some were food ones featuring elaborate dishes that you could make for home, but my diet mostly consisted of meat, beans, bread, and vegetables. I tried a couple new things in the orphanage but the only thing I really liked was the pasta.

Lena starts heading towards the kitchen pulling out ingredients and pans, while everyone else goes to sit on the stools. I follow suit and take a seat besides Callie, Phoenix takes the seat on the other side of me sending a wink in my direction. Finn scoffs from the end of the counter but I don't look at him. I get the feeling that he doesn't like me that much, I don't take that much offense to it, I mean I wouldn't want some stranger moving into my home either.

"Lena's the cook of the house," Phoenix says from beside me. "I mean we can all cook in one way or another and I make a mean spaghetti, but Lena here is a culinary genius." Lena turns around at the compliment and gives a small smirk.
