"Now that we are out of the presence of others, what is your name if I may ask?" I question. "My name is rather different. It is Ukrainian. That is where I was from before I came here to AVA. Because of that I have chosen an American name. Brittany." She answers.
"No! That can't be your name. There is now way I can ever befriend a Brittany! Just NO!" I yelled
"Do not fret. I was just having a jest. My real new name is Astrid."
"Oh thank heavens! If that were truly your title then I would be rather put out at the truth of me having to kill you." I stated clearly. She laughed.
I am liking her more and more. I thought. "What is our schedule tomorrow?" I ask. "We will wake and prepare for the day, then from 7-9 breakfast is served and we can go down at any time. Then because of the beginning of the school year we will meet in the formal common room and discuss the partnerships and the upcoming events and of course, my favorite, the ball." She explained. "A ball! With ball gowns and such? Oh what a splendid event. I simple cannot wait until it comes round." I exclaimed. I was simple overjoyed! "Where are my clothes? We did not bring them with us." I asked. "Well, the clothes that you brought were not the correct attire for school so they looked at your sizes and got new clothes. Don't fret, they sent back the clothes you brought. Your new clothes are in your closet by your dresser." She pointed to my room. I walked in and opened my dresser. It was empty.
Ok, no clothes go in the dresser. Maybe it is just for books and such?
I opened the closet. I was in shock! All along the walls were beautiful skirts and dresses. But the thing that shocked me the most was all the clothes were Victorian. There were corsets and other old fashioned under garments and beautiful dresses.
"You are most Likely wondering why the clothes are Victorian. That is because we are at a full Victorian school. With the exception of chamber pots and those appliances. I was wearing modern clothes when we first met so as not to alarm you. Also so when we are in the presence of others you don't panic, the boys chose a lot of what we do. What seats we have in class, what activities the group does and some other things." She explains.
Ok, not strange at all?
"Well should we retire for the night?" She questions me.
"Yes, it is rather late."
I go into my room and turn down the lamp.
"Good night Astrid."
"Good night Jade."
