Time capsule

Chapter Two

My parents left along time ago and I still refuse to move from the bench outside, I bent over hugging my luggage next  to me too tired to move. Once again I took a glimpse at the scenery in front of me inhaling its fresh smells that relaxed my mind. I was comforted.
"Are you miss Sawyer?" My thoughts were interrupted and I can slowly feel the calmness and peace peeling away.
"Er..yes and you are?" I asked confused
"My name is Alexa and I am here as your tour guide , well actually was your tour guide. Where have you been for the past two hours ?" She said calmly
"Dying" I said with a huff
"That's not true, now come one let me help you to the dorm rooms" she said in a cheery tone
Wow, some people are just too happy these days.
Alexa was explaining the rules the whole time were walking and I couldn't help but groan every ten seconds, i tried to block her out but her voice was just too darn loud, you could literally hear it from a hundred miles away.
As soon a she opened the door I jumped desperately trying to get away from her monstrous shouting voice and her everlasting blabbering, bad news , while trying to escape I landed on the floor with a loud thud !
"Jeez , you ok ?" Alexa asked
" yup , I'm fine" I said with my voice muffled still laying on the floor
"Well... Um er..  I'll go and leave you and the floor to have a moment " and with that she left
"What ?"I thought to my self .

The room is actually big , nothing from what I expected. The walls were creamy white with two simple  beds on each side. No more furniture was present other than two wooden bedside tables and a cabinet. I sat on the single bed and stared at the ground with a locked gaze until i shifted my vision to an odd looking and out of space tile. I stared at it for a while , could this be a mystery ?
Pfft ya right! , can totally imagine that : 'the mystery of the misplaced tile', what was I thinking .don't mind me people I'm just tired .

I slowly drifted into sleep but a few minuets later someone barged in slamming the door behind them. I sat up quickly only to find the angry girl who previously slammed the door -yet again- downstairs.

"Don't you just  hate parents ?" She said more to herself than me
"hi my name is Maya , I hate parents and I like slamming doors.
No shoot ,wouldn't of even noticed !
"My name is Karen and I hate parents too .
"That's something all teens can agree on " she laughed lightly
"So roomie where you from ?" She said
"Hell"
"Sorry ?"
"Never mind ,I originally come from The uk but I've lived my whole life in Ohio."
"Omg I've always wanted to meet a British person !"
"Ya me too"
"But you're British ?!"
"No I was born in Ohio and I've got an American passport and identity , although the other members of my family don't "
"But you're still gonna be English stupid " she laughed
" I guess so ?"

Luckily today was Saturday which means it's a day off , so I don't have to settle into class early I get a chance to explore and wonder around the school.
"Where are all the students"I asked the receptionist
"Well darling  today is Saturday or as students  like to call it 'city-day ' "
"Oh ok , thanks "
" no problem dear "
She kinda reminds me of home ....
Oh wait ,nope. no .forget it , I was just kidding that is nowhere near home. I should get some sleep.
Bad idea.
The kids next door are having a so called 'party', why aren't they out wondering around  the city anyway ?

Oh god I am so ' bored' you could probably call me wood
Someone help me .
Please.

"Hey British , bought you some chocolate !" She said happily
"Omg ,maya you didn't have to" my face was gonna rip from how stretched out my smile is
"Let's just say it's a welcome gift "
"Where did you get this from anyway ? since you were to late to visit the city "
"Um , er cafeteria ?"
"Well, it's the thought that counts right ?!" I said not giving a damn Daniel where she got it from .I love me some chocolate as long as it's actual chocolate , plus I was craving it so ya whatever .
" uhh Karen I forgot to tell you that school is holding an assembly in a few hours , so like don't forget ok?"
"Ya sure , but isn't it Saturday, how come school related activities are going on"
" welcome to boarding school sweetheart " she smirked
As typical as ever , I groaned . Are these guys serious. This is unfair this is madness , this. is .Sparta !

"Welcome .welcome .welcome ,to a brand new semester filled with excitement and determination ,Cs and Ds ,calculus and whatnot "
OMG it's Effie Trinket ! , well I wish it was .oh no wait ,do I ? If she was here then that means....I have to volunteer as tribute , I love her and all but I do not want to die

Her everlasting blabbering sent me into a zone.
"Karen.. Archer "
" I VOLUNTEER . I volunteer as tribute"
As I went up the stage the whole auditorium did the three mock salute and whistled .

"Psst ,Karen" whispered maya
"Karen"
" Karen!" She nudged me quietly
"What ?!" I whispered forcefully
" you're supposed to be up on the stage now go!"
"What ,why?!" I whispered but worriedly now
"Just go introduce yourself " she pushed me lightly
Oh god the nerves , I'm sweating like a pig now and it probably shows .
Why does this stupid teacher have to introduce me to the whole school !
Thump
Thump
Thump
My legs were shaking uncontrollably and I feel so weak , the last time I was on stage , someone got hurt , like actually hurt with  poison or was that hamlet? I don't know ,something like that
Juuuust kidding
I can ace this shiz
In fact I love the stage because I love acting
"Miss sawyer , would you like to introduce yourself "
"Ya sure. Hello guys my name is Karen Sawyer . I come from Ohio and I like cheese"
The Crowd laughed
"What ?? It's true "
They laughed more
"Ok ok tacking advantage of the newbie ha ?"
Man, what . A . Crowd .
"Ya so um bye " With that I left and the people clapped.

I was surprised to see that maya was called out on stage too.

" you're new?" I whispered 
"Yea " she said while sitting back in her seat after introducing her self
" ow " is all I said and focused on the principal speaking.
