Glade Academy

Chapter 3 - Welcome party?

After I closed/slammed the door, I stopped in my tracks, trying to hear what the boys were saying about me inside.

     "Is this what all girls are like in this school?" Thomas asked

     "No, it just that that one's got issues" I heard Minho say.

     "Don't be like that, she's probably just frustrated she got assigned to the wrong dorm" Newt said. Their voices were muffled because of the door in-between us.

     "She's lowkey good looking though" I heard Minho say, and I clenched up my fists, wanting to punch him. But I couldn't because then they'd know I was eaves-dropping.

     "Well you shouldn't have scared her off then!" Thomas exclaimed.

I've heard enough of this. I started heading to the registration desk, since Newt said the office wasn't open. I stomped down the hallways with frustration. You've probably noticed by now my temper issues. Probably why mum sent me away. Who cares, stuff her.

I made my way through the corridors, through the sea of people. School wasn't even on yet and the campus was crowded. I guess there were a lot of kids here, over 700 I think. I noticed the on-lookers staring at me while I made my way through the halls, fists clenched in frustration.

When the registration desk came into view, I was ready to stomp over there and yell my lungs out at them for what they've done. But I decided to tone it down, cause I didn't want to get kicked out of the school and sent back with my mother.

I dropped my duffle bag and suitcase in a random spot on the floor and made my way over. I groaned when I saw the length of the line up. So I decided to cut.

     "Excuse me, it's impolite to cut" a random person behind me said.

     "No way, I had no idea" I stated sarcastically. The person simply crossed there arms, deciding I wasn't worth their time. Smart choice, I thought.

A few seconds passed and the woman in front of me was finished and it was my turn.

     "How can I help you?" she asked. By killing yourself, I thought.

     "You assigned me to the wrong dorm" I said through gritted teeth, trying my hardest not to lash out.

     "Oh, I'm afraid that's out of my control. You will have to take it up with the office on Monday"

     "What!? Then where am I supposed to sleep?"

     "Well, if you have family around, or money for a hotel I would suggest doing that"

     "I don't" I said bluntly with my teeth gritted. I wanted to scream at her. This was ridiculous.

     "Hmm, well, I guess you'll have to stay in that dorm until Monday. I'll write you a note to let the supervisor know your allowed" She wrote me a note, and handed it to me smiling. I scowled at her as I ripped the note from her hand.

Isn't this the perfect first day, I thought to myself as I walked away. I grabbed my gear and started heading back to the boy's dorm. This is so stupid.

The biggest thought running through my head was the unbearable thought of me going back to the boys dorm and proving Newt right. I didn't want that to happen, it'd damage my rep, plus, I hated admitting I was wrong. This is the worst. All that effort for nothing.

Eventually I made it back to the dorm room. I just stared at the door in front of me for a while, not looking forward to what was to come. I can already imagine it, them gloating over my humiliation, the Asian dude mocking me. I did not want to step through that door. But if I didn't I'd probably end up having to sleep in the hallway.
