Finding Myself

Chapter 2: The Boarding School

1. 2. 3 hours.
3 hour drive from the new house to my new school, or like I would like to call it 'prison'.

"We're here," Mom smiled at me.

The school wasnt completely isolated from civilisation, it was situated on the outskirts of a small,old Town, next to a lagoon.

We drove up to a big black gate. Mom rolled down her window to speak into the intercom.
"Lynette Johnson, here to see Head Mistress Clark."

There was no respond just a loud click and then the gate opened up. Revealing the school. It was stunning, green everywhere, leading up to a beautiful building. 

We drove away from the building to a more old looking building. There was a man waiting for us there. He greeted us and then directed us to the Head Mistresses office.

"Good day. Please have a seat." This lady looked tough. Perfect fit for a boarding school head Mistress I guess.

"Good day. I'm Lynette and this is my daughter Cassidy." My mom greeted politely while I just sat with my arms crossed. The head Mistress gave me one look over before taking a seat herself and going into a conversation with my mom.

While they talked about boring rules and regulations I looked out if the window, admiring the garden.

"Cassidy," My mom nudged me to pay attention. I sat up and looked over to the Head Mistress.

"Yes?" I said expressing how bored I am.

"Follow me." She gave me a look, trying to intimidate me,but instead it just looked like a challenge. Mentally I was already preparing ways to get on her nerves while I'm here. Can never start to early.

Head Mistress Clark showed me around a bit just explaining where everything was. The school was so much bigger than it looked and the beautiful building we saw as we came in was the residential area. That was where I would be staying.

I was escorted to my room. It was like my own apartment. Which I realised was not for me alone.  I was to sure with 4 other girls.  We shared a kitchenette and a bathroom, which had 3 showers and 2 baths and two toilets stalls.

There was only one empty room as the other girls have attended school here before, they were to move in tomorrow  (monday). I got to unpacking, which was like unpacking my life. I put my clothes in the cupboards and drawers provided and even hung up a few photos.

My mom was hovering outside the room looking at everything, like a normal mother I suppose. She never does this kind of thing, but her motherly instincts are finally kicking in now that she realises I won't be home for 3 months or more if I decide not to go home during the breaks.

"I thought you left already," I stared at my mom from me rooms doorway.

"Not without a proper goodbye." Mom said slightly hesitant. She walked over to me and pulled me into a one sided hug. "For your own good baby." She pulled back and looked into my eyes. "I love you baby girl," and with that she left.

I just stood there thinking about her words.

There were very little other students around as most would be coming tomorrow. Dinner was served to my dorm room.

After dinner i decided to roam around the school grounds.  This school was humongous. There was a building for everything.  The whole school was fenced off, there where security at every exit point and cameras everything. It was extreme, making this place feel even more like a prison.

I ended up finding a garden area that had benches scattered everywhere and a pond in the middle. I took a seat next to the pond, dipping my feet into the water and lying back looking up at the starry night sky.

I was enjoying the quiet when I heard footsteps.
"Enjoying the view?" The mystery voice asked. I could tell it was a boy, about my age maybe older by the huskiness of his voice.

I looked up at trying to see who he was, but didn't get a look at his face as he was too looking up at the sky. "Yeah, is pretty amazing out here."

It was quiet. Mystery guy didn't say  anything, just sat down next to me. Okay, cause this isn't awkward at all. Note the sarcasm. I looked over at him and this time I could see his features from the way the moon was shining light on his face. He had black hair that just hung over his eyes, which was stunning, it was grey from the way I saw them. A fair complexion. He was hot, but I'm sure he knew that from the way he carried himself.

"Starring is rude," he smirked.

"Well Mister Stranger. I was just wondering what you're doing out here." I said not giving into his charm.

"Well Miss Stranger, I could ask you the same thing," he looked right into my eyes. "But why spoil the mystery now," with that he got up and left, leaving me to stare after his silhouette disappearing into the dark.

Seems like it was time for me to get back to my room too. I made my way through the maze of hallways and pathways, until I eventually came to the familiar building that held my dorm room.

Well I should probably get some shut eye. Tomorrow I'll be meeting a whole lot of rich bitches and hopefully some new boy toys.
