Battleground of the hostel

Chapter 5

It's 6:00 a.m and classes start by eight but I just don't want to move from my bed.  Last night I couldn't find the courage to close my eyes after 12 a.m cause I was hearing some whispers when it was few minutes to twelve and then I heard a girl's voice struggling at 12 a.m
" Hey Tina , I was calling your name last night but you didn't respond".
" And why should I respond to you ? ". Tina replied in a cold tone, her facial expressions even worst .
I was just short of words , I didn't know how to tell her that I was scared mostly when the lights are switched off nobody knows this except for Sasha I have nyctophobia, not even my parents knows about it all those dark scary nights where I'll be left alone in the dark sometimes, Sasha once noticed it during one of our sleepovers and she switched it back on and told me she's there for me.
" No issues I just wanted to check up on you". I muttered.
Tina laughed at that statement
" Or you were scared ". Tina just walked away not giving me the chance to reply.
Why did I even say that I forgot that this girl hates me.
I forced myself out of the bed and started preparing for the day . I decided to put on a black top, with a blue jean skirt and a white sneakers. When it came to styling my hair I didn't know what to do with it, since I already dyed it I decided to fly my hair.
I was about to step out of the room and my eyes fell on the mirror that's hanging there on the blue coloured wall and I was glad it was there it, at least I can look at myself before leaving everytime I was scared that there won't be any mirror since I forgot to bring one but luckily this school knows what a girl needs.
" Hi I'm Evelyn". A blonde hair girl dressed in a cute pink mini skirt, with a white blouse and a matching pink lipstick that goes with her outfit.
" I'm Ruby ". I said trying to give a confident smile.
" I know the principal told me that you were going to join the dance club so I decided to introduce myself ".
Evelyn said smiling from ear to ear her blue eyes glistening like the pure blue sea showing her innocent and sweet nature.
" Oh okay". I said a bit disappointed wondering if the principal sent her just to help me with the dance group or she came by herself to be my friend.
" I love what you did to your hair". Evelyn said gushing.
" Thanks but it's nothing really".
" What do you mean, I would do anything to dye my hair".
" Yeah I was once in that spot ".
" So what did you do to get out of it?". Evelyn said curiously.
" Well I came to this school forcibly".
" Why, was there something wrong with your old school?".
" No it was a form of punishment from my parents ".
" What exactly did you do?".
" Well while they were away I hosted a wild party, I dyed my hair a different color also it was red and then I smoked weed and drank alcohol and they happened to walk in to the house and boom I'm here".
" Oh I see ".
" Yup and I decided to dye my hair to the colour green".
" Okay but you do have a roommate right?".  When I heard that question I was annoyed cause the roommate I have is a curse I guess the witch decided to pay me a visit from day one.
" Yeah ". I said forcing a smile as if I'm happy to be with a girl named Tina.
" Don't you have a roommate?". I asked Evelyn. I could see the sadness in her eyes, tears were being held back and then she finally spoke up.
" My roommate died". I felt a shiver down my spine.
" Oh I'm sorry about that".
" It's okay ". Evelyn said. Then a cold silence that slapped my guts fell upon us and Evelyn decided to break the silence.
" Have you heard any rumors about a witch?". Evelyn whispered. Just as I was about to answer I felt a heavy thing hit my head .
" Ouch". I yelled placing my hand on my head one of the girls that was walking with her friends accidentally used her bag to hit me and I bet that that they were excited about whatever they were talking about.
" I'm so sorry". She said
" Here he is ". One of her friends said to her and they rushed of squealing.
I wonder who the 'he is' that they want to send me to the hospital, I mean he's probably not better than Dustin, did I just say probably, I meant to say obviously, there is no one better than Dustin Trevor and that's a fact.
" They are going to see Ryan ". Evelyn shrugged while saying it.
" Uhm, who is he?".
" Well he's just one of the smartest guys in this school and everyone says that he is hot". Evelyn said nervously playing with her hands.
" Do you like him ?". I asked giving her a playful smile, I can already see Evelyn blushing.
" What, no way ". Evelyn scoffed.
" I know you do ".
" Okay you got me, I actually like him, like a lot ".
" Have you talked to him? ".
" Don't be crazy ".
" A piece of advice, you want him you need to do crazy stuffs".
" And what makes you say that?". Evelyn wondered
" Well you know those stuffs I did, it was at a wild party that I hosted and invited and right now we are official ". I said smiling from ear to ear and raising my head high above my shoulders.
Now I really wanted to see this Ryan, for someone as pretty as Evelyn to feel shy to talk to him when she obviously has the good looks to sweep a guy off his feet.
I later realized how other people were just looking at me and Evelyn and whispering to each other, and later wondered why they were paying so much attention to a new student until I realized that I'm probably talking to one of if the most popular girls in the class, based on her good looks nobody can just ignore her, her face demands a lot of attention.
So now I'll automatically be one of the most popular girls in this school, Sasha will be so proud of me, as for my dressing style Sasha would have probably scrunched her nose at it because I didn't dress to gain the attention, I dressed as basic Ruby that couldn't get the attention of anybody. I'll probably have to take more time in dressing up next time.
