Chapter 2

"Oh good, are you aware you're late?" She looked at me raising one of her eyebrows all though she still seemed very polite.

I looked down and nodded. Apparently I was supposed to leave at four in the morning... not in the evening.

She smiled and grabbed one of my bags.

"It's fine darling, you made it. Now let me show you to your room and introduce you to some of the others." I grabbed my other bags and followed behind her. We went up the stair case.

There was again two sides. To the left I heard male voices, and on the right more feminine. The halls must be separated. I forgot boys started to join.

How did I not here all the commotion and voices down stairs.

The woman took a right turn toward where I heard the female voices.

All the doors were open and I saw some girls sitting in their rooms. Some were reading, on a computer, or just talking. None of them noticed me.

The woman stopped in front of the last door at the end of the hallway. She opened the door and walked in.

The room had light colored hardwood floors, lilac colored walls and a white metal framed full sized bed against the wall in the center of the room.
There was a matching vanity and mirror on the other wall and a white book shelf and chair in the corner.

I put all my makeup and lotions and perfumes and all other beauty products on my vanity and put my white comforter and sheets on the bed. I hung my world map tapestry above my bed and smiled at it. It made me feel more at home.
After putting all my clothes and shoes in the closet I plopped onto the bed with a loud sigh.

I was proud of the room. It made me feel a little better about the place. I had somewhere for myself. I sat up and sat criss cross on my bed and saw a door.

How had I not seen that before?

I slowly got off the bed and stepped toward the door. I held up my hand and used my magic that I rarely use to turn the knob. The door creaked open and I stood alert. Once I saw what was inside I immediately relaxed and laughed at myself.

It was the bathroom.

I smiled with joy at the fact that I had my own bathroom. I took my last box that included toiletries and unpacked it there.

Almost immediately after I was finished there was a knock at the door.

The woman from before was there and smiled at me.

"Please follow me, we'll meet everyone and I'll just tell you the everything about this place."

Once we were down the stairs we went to the living area.

I counted 7 girls and 5 boys. These were who I'd be living with for a while.

"Welcome to Star Academy."
