"Ok so what type of look are you going for?" She asks after applying about 7 different creams and lotions to my face.

"Uh....non-zombie I guess," I say and glance up at my reflection. I sigh when I see that I still look like something from the undead.

"Hey! No peeking!" Amani says and swings her chair away from the mirror so I am facing her unmade bed. Then she leans across me and grabs a make up bag that is brimming with foundations, mascaras, lipglosses, eyeshadows and eyeliners. She grabs a handful and lays it out on the table behind me. She shows me everything before she puts it on my face and after 3 layers of foundation, concealer and bronzer then a concoction of natural colors mixed with deep maroon eye shadow and a few coats of mascara and eyeliner she was finished with me. She spun the chair back around and i was shocked to see that i looked normal, no better than normal. I looked really good considering i had looked like i had just been resurrected and murdered and then brought back again.

"What the.." i say slowly.

"Good? Mimi wont let me go near her with my makeup bag, she says i look like a crazy witch!" She says as she starts to pack up.

"How can she say something like that?" I say even though i was thinking the same thing about 30 minutes ago. I glance back at my reflection, all of my spots are gone and my eyes seem big and bold with small flicks of eyeliner. My lips are coated with shiny lipgloss tinted rosy pink. I look human. Amani starts to walk out her room when an idea trails through my mind.

"Hey, manz?" I call. She turns back.

"Yup?" She says.

"Do you um....think that you could do my make up for later? im going to this thing and i dont want to look rubbish...you can say no obviously but...yeah?" I mumble.

"OMG! of course! Finally i have a roommate who actually lets me go near their face. Angie didn't trust me one bit, so glad she's gone no-" manz cut off mid sentence.

"Where's angie gone?" I ask, confused.

"Nowhere, nothing, uh...we have to go!" She says hurriedly. She grabs my hand and tugs me out of her room, drags me down the hall and then stops. She reaches out her left hand and shuts her eyes i can hear a whooshing sound and a jacket is being levitated down the hall.

"What?" I say.

"Three years here and you learn some tricks, there's a bagel on the key table, you need to go. See you at 5?" She says.

"Uh...yeah...5? I say as i stumble over to the door. There i see a neatly wrapped round parcel. I think it's the bagle. I pick it up and open the door. Its cold this morning and i slip on the jacket. Its not mine, but it fits me well. Its a tight leather jacket with rips on the arms that show silver material hiding underneath. I unwrap my bagel and start to eat it as i inspect the sleeves of the jacket and try to work out whose it i suddenly the world is turning upside down and the ground is pulled to my face. I have fallen again. I shut my eyes as a searing pain rushes to my head and i take a deep breath. At least no one saw me.

"We have to stop meeting like this!" A voice says.Crud. Thought too soon.I know this voice. Its the guy from yesterday. Wait what was his name? Oh no....WHATS HIS FREAKING NAME!?! Okay...maybe he doesn't remember mine

"Clara? You ok?" Great...just great. I sit up and glance down. I pull various twigs and leaves out of my jacket and then stand up. I look up and see they guy standing there.

"Its Daniel...from yesterday?" He probes.

"Of course!" I say.

"You look like you need a coffee, you wanna get a Starbucks?" He asks.

"And where are we getting starbucks from?its not like they have one on campus" I say.

"Clara, this is a camp for teens...sleep deprived hormonal teenagers who need caffeine. Of course they have starbucks," he says slowly and with that he turns around and take my hand and pulls me off towards starbucks filled with sleep deprived hormonal tennagers? What is going on with this morning?
