We S. H. A. L. L. Reign

Camrail Academy

Sammy's POV:

This morning Lucien woke me up by slightly shaking me. I sat up and looked at the clock. It was 6 a.m. as in the MORNING!

I looked over at Lucien. He was holding a cup of coffee that looked deathly sweet, just how I like it. I grabbed the cup and sipped it.

"Thank you, my dearest Lucien. May ask you why you are WAKING ME UP AT 6 A.M.?"

He chuckled and pulled me out of bed. "Today we have be at the school by 9, so Vivian likes to wake us up with an hour to spare before we have to leave. You also need to pack your bags."

"Ok... how many cases can I bring?"

"The maximum is five so your books will be able to come with you, don't worry."

I looked over at my vinyls, "I won't be able to bring the vinyls will I?"

He looked at me with a sympathetic smile, "They only allow Walkmans because they have headphones to not disturb other students."

I sighed, "I'll live." I won't rest well but I'll live.

He was silent for minute then turned to my door and opened it. He was almost out of the door when he turned around and said, "Pack, Sammy, then come down for breakfast." He said Sammy!

I smiled and started packing. I put back my books into their two suitcases and put my clothes into the last one. I realized that my vinyls wouldn't have fit anyway. Grandmother has been buying me clothes and sneakily puts them in my dresser. I only just now realized after seeing seven whole outfits I didn't pack. I set my school uniforms on the top of all the clothes.

Three brown plaid skirt, three white button up shirts, three golden ties, three pairs of brown knees high socks, and one brown blazer.

Grandmother walked in just as I was about to close my bag. She had a box in her hands.

"I have somethings for you, my dear." She pulled me over to my bed.

She opened the box and pulled out a brown school sweater, then a brown cardigan, she also pulled out a brown turtleneck, brown plaid t-shirt, and finally a big jewelry box.

"What is with this school and brown?" I laughed and she laughed along.

"I don't know. But I got you this so you could switch up your outfits. Those other school girls only wear the standard outfit but you, my dear, are Vivian's granddaughter! You are not any ordinary girl, my dear, you are amazing and you should dress like it." She hugged me strongly.

I felt all the new tops and saw the embroidered emblem on the chest of all of them. It was a golden skull with two white angel wings behind it.

I smiled and packed them next to my standard uniform. After a lot of effort I closed my suitcases, looked at my vinyls, and took my suitcases down stairs.

The smell of bacon and eggs welcomed me. At the table Lenny, Huey, Aaron, and Grandmother sat at the table. Where is Luc?

I sat down next to the other empty chair meant for Luc and started to eat some bacon. I looked around and the boys were all talking about what crazy trouble they were going to get in at school.

"We can mess with Headmaster's pet." Aaron laughed.

Grandmother scowled, "Don't hurt that women... to bad."

I looked around confused at everyone while they laughed. "Who?"

They all exchanged looks. Huey piped up, "Once you see her you'll know it her."

I hummed, "By the way, has anyone seen Luc?"

Grandmother was the one to speak this time. "He said he had to pick something up last minute. He took the school car to ride into town."

"The school car?"

Lenny started to speak with his mouth slightly full, "Once a month, mainly for the ladies, we are aloud to go into town for a day. Except all the good shops are 30 minutes away from school, so Grandmother bought us a car for when we go to school. Usually we ride in two cars to go to school but it seems Luc took our second car."

I nodded and continued to eat my breakfast. I wonder what he needed. I also wished he would have invited me.

We get in the car after breakfast and start driving. We turn the radio up and sing along until we reach a gate.

The gate was more like a wall instead. Bricks went up until you could barely see the top of an oak tree on the other side. The gate was iron and had ivy go up to the top of it.

A two men in brown suits pushed open the gate and we drove through. There wasn't anywhere for Grandmother to park. She wished us luck, some cleaners took our bags, and a lady dressed in all pink greeted us.

"Vivian." She said in a bitter voice.

"Liar. Oh, sorry! Lila." Grandmother rolled her eyes.

Lila was very young maybe in her late 20s. She put on a huge fake smile. "I hope your grandchild and his friends behave this year." She sounded very bitter.

My Grandmother laughed, "When have you gotten proof that they ever misbehaved?" Grandmother smirked and grabbed my shoulders. "This is Samantha Alston, my granddaughter, and don't worry Lila! She's just like me and her brother." I smiled, was this the lady they were talking about at breakfast?

Grandmother kissed the top of my head, told me to behave, gave me a wink, and left.

Lila looked me up and down, "Listen, child, there will be no rule breaking. If I find out you break so much as one rule-"

"Come on, Liar. She just got here!" I heard Luc say from behind me. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder, "Save the lecture for later!" He smiled and she huffed.

"Mr. Pruitt, I am merely telling her the rules. It's my job you know." She scowled at him, "I have to show her around since she's new so leave."

He stood there with a hand on his chin and hummed as if thinking. "No. We'll show her around." He guided me by shoulders and the boys followed smirking.

Once out of ear shot they started laughing.

"Okay," Lenny said once the laughter died down. "let's go over the rules here. No smoking, drinking, weapons, pranking, food outside of the cafeteria, no yelling, sex, PDA, talking in class, no crowding in the halls, no running in the halls, no loud noises, parties, betting, fighting, and most of all no leaving campus without permission." He said all this very fast.

Great lots of rules.

Luc patted my back, "Don't worry, Sammy, we'll take care of you!"

The boys nodded and smiled at me. They told me where everything was and walked me to the dorm side of campus.

The entire campus looked like a castle but the dorm buildings were actual castles. The dorms were two castles next to each other, one had a banner that said boy's dorm and the other girl's dorm. There were six floors on each, the middle floors had blacked out windows, maybe a shower floor?

"Now," Aaron turned to me. "each floor has four rooms and one bathroom. The middle floor is a shower room, the chart on the wall has your room, and our floor is the second."

"Why would I need to know your floor?"

Huey smirked which meant they were planning something. "You'll see."

That night I laid awake in my brown bed on the fourth floor. I couldn't sleep without my music. Just as I thought it would be a very boring night a rat climbs into my bed with a note tied around it's neck.

Come to the third room on the second floor.
