Hold Me Closer

Chapter 2

Crystal's POV

The sun peeked through the window, radiating my sleepy face. I blinked a few times, trying to clear my vision. I looked at my bed, it is very messy, and the bedsheets are crumpled. My pajamas feel warm from my sweat, of my nightmare last night......

I looked to my left and saw that Scarlet's bed is neatly arranged. She left a note on top of her bedsheet. I picked it up and read it,

Oi wake up, breakfast is ready, get ready in 30 mins. Love yah, purple cakes xD
-Scarlet

I quickly stood up and hopped in the shower. After taking a bath, I put on white blouse and my black skater shirt. I slipped on my grey knee high boots and my grey cardigan. I blow dry and combed my hair and brushed my teeth at the same time. (lol girl power xD)

I grabbed my backpack and head outside my room. I saw the dining room empty, probably they are outside. I snagged two toasts and bit one of them and went outside.

I saw Scarlet outside, waiting for me. She wore the outfit she described to me yesterday.

"Oi sleepy head, have u eaten a toast?" Scarlet teased and pinched my cheeks.

"Yah yah...." I smiled as I finished my last toast. The bus of the youngster steered in and they started to get inside the bus.

"Should we take the bus, or take a walk?" I asked her. "Let's walk, I want my fats to be burned." She grinned and i laughed. This girl...

We started walking at the pavement. Beautiful autumn colored leaves drifting down the streets, giving beauty at the sight. The wind spreads the autumn fragrance around the place.

"What is the school again?" I asked her, trying to start my day by learning the school name. Simple as that.

"Greyshield University." She told me. "The principal is Mr. Reymond Greyshield, husband of Mrs. Phenosycila Greyshield and father of Gian Josh Greyshield."

"Whoa, that's a lot of information." I told her.

She chuckled. "Not really. Actually, there are more."

"Wait what?" I asked. "Oh, I'll just grab the information by myself." I wave my hand, telling her not to tell more.

We continued walking, talking about anime, food and other stuff. We are in the middle of laughter when Scarlet stopped, stared in amazement. I followed her gaze and I gasped too.

"The Greyshield University..." I murmured. Scarlet nodded and entered the gate. I walked with her. I looked around the place. Bunch of students in expensive clothing, stuff and squads.

"Looks like we are going to be surrounded by rich kids again..." I mumbled. I don't expect there would be some RK (or rich kids) going around at this school, cause I just left one last year, when I was in sixth grade.

I entered the doors with Scarlet and trying to find the registration room. We seemed to be in curves and circles around the halls, trying to find our location but with no avail.

I finally gave up and try to ask someone. I saw a guy with brown hair, wearing a black hoodie and navy blue pants.

"Um, excuse me..?" I tapped his shoulder. He turned around and looked at me with his green eyes. I blinked. He stared at me down. Geez...he is tall...

"Yah?" He asked. "Umm....may ask, where is the registration room?" I inquired.

He smirked. "You are a new student here?" He asked. I nodded and looked at him. He smiled and pointed down the hall.
