I waved goodbye to my family from the front of the school and walked to my new dorm room.
I opened the door to see a chalk board with "Welcome Roomie" written on it and a table with a tray full of chocolate chip cookies on it I looked over at the occupied bed and saw a girl with long, curly brown hair she looked up and I noticed that she was the same girl from earlier.
"Hey it's you again!"
"Hey. Your names Gemma right?"
"Yes ma'am Gemma Styles at your service!"
Uh oh.
"Do you have a brother by any chance?"
"Yeah why?"
"Oh no reason" I said as I stuffed a cookie into my mouth so I couldn't speak to her.
"Hey why are you here anyways? I mean I never have roommates, my mom doesn't assign anyone to room with me so I was wondering." She asked.
"How does your mom have control over your living situation?"
"She's the principle/warden of the school, why?"
"Just asking"
"Well, you never answered my question, why are you here?"
