Boarding Mistery

Chapter Four

It's not about the money, money, money we don't need your money...

Price Tag woke me up early the next day.

- Come on Ashlyn!! I don't want to be late! - May Belle shook me like ten times before leaving to take a shower. Today was the day. My first day at St. Jude. Technically classes start tomorrow. Today's Orientation Day. You know, meeting your roommates, getting to know the school, making friends etcetera. I got off my bed, took a shower and took out my outfit: white skinny pants, pale green sleevless, buttoned front blouse, blue ballerinas and of course, my leather jacket. I wrapped up my hair in a tall ponytail, grabbed all my stuff and went downstairs to have breakfast.

- I'm gonna miss you guys - Dad said as he gave us our plates - May Belle? You got everything - she nodded. I nodded as well.

- Where's James? - I asked him - I walked by his room and he wasn't there

- He went for a run. He should be here by now - as he said this, James came running through the door.

- You didn't think you'd leave without saying goodbye to me did you? - he said and sat on the table. May and I made a throw up gesture with our faces.

- J! Oh my God please go shower! - he smiled and got closer to me. I screamed and ran from the table. - Disgusting! - he laughed and I rolled my eyes. As I looked at my family I felt my eyes wet a bit. I missed Mom.

A few moments later we were putting the bags inside the trunk, and driving up to the school. We were there two hours later, just like yesterday. My Dad wanted to park inside the school but James convinced him it was better to park outside.

- I guess this is it then - he said. I chuckled and we all gathered on a tight family hug. May Belle and I waved goodbye amd went inside.

- You ready? - I asked her.

- Since yesterday - I laughed and we went inside. The place was full of students greeting each other, laughing and kissing each other's cheeks, mouths as well. Some girls came running to where we were and hugged May Belle. Of course. She made friends yesterday. The blonde one hugged her first, the black haired one bumped May's fist.

- Hello girls! This is my sister Carter - I waved. They waved back.

- Im Amber and this is Jody. Nice to meet you! - the blonde one said. I smiled

- Nice to meet you too.

- Can we take May Belle to the house?! - the accent was lovely. I nodded and said goodbye to May Belle. They left together sharing laughs. As I found myself standing alone in the middle of the school I remembered what Allen told me yesterday and I decided to look for him. I walked in the direction of the High School house when I felt my bag slip away from my hand.

- Hey! what the---You - I sighed. Pretty boy was standing in front of me, leaning on my suitcase's handle. - Can I have that back?

- Sure - he moved it towards me and shoved it aside when I reached for it. I sighed.

- Fine! Do me a favor and take it to the house okay? - I waved goodbye and started walking away from him.

- Come on! You clearly do not have a sense of humor - he said, running towards me. I didnt answer - Okay. It seems I started with the wrong foot. Wait! - he stepped infront of me, blocking my way. - Let me fix this - he gave me my suitcase. I took it and smiled.

- Fine.

- My name is Brent Johnson. A troublemaker, women lover, Junior. - I rolled my eyes. I had to give him a chance.
