"It is I! Your worst nightmare!"

I began screaming as two boys fell out from behind the bathroom door, laughing. The first boy was blonde, with piercing green eyes. He was lean, maybe 6 feet tall. The second boy had dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and was really short. I mean, I think he was about 5 feet and maybe a few inches tall.

"Hello princess." The brown-haired boy said to me with a smirk. "My name is Carter. What's yours?"

"Um. My name is Charlotte," I replied slowly.

The older boy shoved Carter out of the way. "Sorry about him, he's 13, he can't help himself. My name is Jordan."

I smiled at Jordan. "I see.. I'm 16. How old are you?

"I'm 17."

Right at that moment, the old lady burst into my room. "I heard screaming! What is going on!?!" She screeched. The boys tried to sneak back into the bathroom before she could see them, but it was too late.

"Jesus, I almost had a heart attack! What are you two doing in here? I told you not to bother our newcomer! Go back to your room, I will deal with you later!" The boys sprinted out of the room as fast as they could. The old lady then turned to me.

She peered at me over her studded glasses and sighed. "My name is Miss Helfer, if you have already forgotten. There are only a few rules here, please follow them." She handed me a packet. "Have a lovely day.." She sighed again and slowly walked out of the room.

 Oh great.. more reading. I yawned and flopped down on my spiderman comforters.

I groaned. Why the hell is there a class for fears? I rolled over and yawned again. I am so freaking tired. Maybe I should sleep..

 "CHARLOTTE! OHHH CHARLOTTE! Can I call you char-monster? Or maybe triple C's.. If ya know what I mean!" The blonde boy. I mean, Carter ran in.

"Thank god that witch is gone. We were getting so bored out there." Jordan smiled.

"Yeah! You might actually be cool! Most of the other kids here are emo. Or goth. Or super wierd!" Carter made a face.

Jordan started laughing and I looked at him with confusion. "Dude, is he on crack?" There was no other explanation on why a boy of this size could talk so much.

"He thinks you are pretty.." Jordan fake-whispers to me. I stood dumb-founded. Me? Pretty? I think not. Carter turns redder than a tomato and his eyes widen.

"BRO! I DO NOT! I mean, she is pretty, but I don't think she is, I mean she is, but I don't like her, I mean I do like her, but not like that.. Oh whatever, I'm leaving." He stutters and stomps off.

Jordan winked at me. "He SO likes you!"

"Really?" I asked with a smile?

"Dude, you should hear what he said to me after the Old Lady kicked us out. He was complimenting your hair like crazy!"

I self-consciously twisted my blonde hair and smiled. "Well, tell him thanks."

He nodded, "I gotta go, I'm getting tired and I need to go finish homework." He ran off in the direction that Carter went. I shut the door and jumped back on my bed with a sigh, tomorrow was definitely going to be a wacky day.
