CHAPTER 4

Once again, my right to make decisions for myself is stripped from me as Dre ignored my protests and matched inside with my belongings, refusing to listen to the voice of reason, which just happened to be my voice.

He took me straight to the dorms and to my relief it was empty there as well, no people meant no introductions. Although for the life of me I couldn't figure out why I was so nervous. I am a queen, and a natural born leader, people listened to me. So yes, if I could conquer Asia, then I could definitely conquer Jupiter.

The dormitory was just as gothic as the first building, it was huge, dark, pristine, and quiet, although something told me it would not be quiet for long.

Plants and hanging vines formed intricate curtains around the walls. This was my first time in a dormitory such as this, so I had no idea what to expect.

"Here we are, room 305." Dre announced happily, eagerly waiting for me to swipe my door open, which I did with an eye roll. My mom had arranged everything on my behalf, as she wanted me to have limited interaction with the  school administration.

Dre was bouncing beside me, and I quickly swung the door open to sate his curiosity. My eyes widened as I stepped in, the room was grand.

Black walls with a muted pastel lilac made it the most unique thing I had ever seen. The bed was this nook thing covered with a spider web material.

Drapes of dipioni silks and black out panels framing the windows completed the look. An old fashioned vanity caught my attention and I whistled, strolling to it, and discovered a door so dark it practically melted into the walls, which on inspection proved to be a squeaky clean bathroom and toilet. Dre whistled behind me.

"Damn you got a single room? How unfair is that?" He asked with an accusing glare. And I raised my hands.

"Chill big guy, perks of being a new student I guess," I told him with an eye roll. He squinted for some time before giving me a shrug and a nod.

"Its alright lil man, we friends now, so you are going to see a lot of me," He told me with a mischievous smile. I smiled back.

"So how many are you guys in a room?" I asked conversationally, checking the wardrobe out.

"Well two, I have a roommate,"  He told me, inspecting my room as well.

"Is he chill?" I asked again, sitting down. Dre sat down as well, making himself at home.

"Between you and I, I think that idiot might be my best friend," He told me with a grimace. I giggled.

"Well then, he must be awesome," I replied, before noticing his weird look.

"What?" I asked him defensively. He just shook his head before exclaiming.

"Men do not giggle Lil guy, so that sound is forbidden," He exclaimed, shaking my shoulders with wide eyes, mine popped out.

"Oh my god! Whatever!" I screamed back. We had a moment of silence before bursting out in laughter simultaneously. He stayed awhile, before standing up.

"Yup, gotta get back to class now, you coming or?" He trailed off, and I instantly rejected his offer.

"Sorry Dre, I have to put my things away, and you know get situated and stuff.." My voice trailed off as well, and we just stared at each other before he averted his gaze.

"Well that's cool, do your thing. Umm I will bring the guys over after class, is that cool," He asked me moving towards the door. I ran after him.

"No that's not cool, I am quite exhausted you see? So we can do the introductions later yea?" I asked him, speaking rapidly. He smirked down at me.

"No can do lil guy, see ya,"  He told me before running off, and leaving me with my frustration.

"It is going to be alright," I told myself arranging my things. I can survive in a male dorm, so many Asian girls in k_dramas pulled it off, so it should not be too hard.

All I had to do was control my hormones, for the two males I had met so far looked like male models.

But it would be alright, I have being through a lot in life, With the stalking, and the moving to different continents, and the disguise. So pretending to be a boy in a male dormitory would be a piece of cake. I mean, how hard could it possibly be? It should be hard at all, in fact, I was quite confident in my abilities.

Now you might not know this, but I was already quite used to bluffing my way out of almost any situation, something that my Mom never failed to remind, was the wrong way to live, I tend to not listen to this petty lectures though. You see, if you had grown up living the kind of life I did, then perhaps you would understand, or perhaps not, I was too exhausted to keep making sense in my ramblings.

I paced around the room for a bit, and peeped out of my curtains, trying to get a feel of the place, but no matter how much I tried to sniff something out, I could not, it almost felt like something was blocking my awesome detective senses.

I tried and failed again and again to catch a glimpse of someone, anyhow at all, but unfortunately, the answer remained no. I was beginning to think I was in a deserted school and that was finally to act out and live the rebellion in my wings.

Shrugging, I went back to sleep grudgingly, who was I kidding? The place was frankly too clean and too well kept to be a deserted building, not to. Not to mention Dre Tyler and the super attractive man that drove me into the school with a super restricted vocabulary. I mean i should really stop being so scared, my new schoolmates were nothing but a dense group of children after all, I should really go to sleep.
