I followed Chelsea towards one of the bigger buildings, she walked slowly because of her heels. I felt underdressed in comparison to her, and she was wearing the Waverton uniform, Navy Blue blazer, White shirt, Navy Green tie (optional), tartan navy blue and green skirt and her black stilettos(not part of the uniform, but school starts in 3 days so she can get away with that)and I still felt underdressed.
"This is the dorm that your in, Pine, wait-" She looked at the piece of paper Berta-Mr Stevington's assistant had given her, with all the information she needed to tell me. "Yeah...its Dorm Pine, and your in room....29, lucky, you don't have to go up, like all those stairs, I swear! Last year I was, like in, like room 67, and omigosh! Like, 50 flights of stairs, well like, 5 but you like, get the point" She gushed.
We walked into the building, and I saw all my suitcases sitting by the door, I picked one up, and waited for Chelsea to help me with the rest.
"No way, see these" she held up her fingernails for me to examine, "Got 'em last night, so no way"
"Fine" I walked up the first flight of stairs, Chelsea followed, talking the whole way.
"So what's with this place?" I said stopping her mid sentence. "I mean, I don't get it, I've never even heard of this place, but it claims it's one of the top schools in the country" I said quickly
"Well, it, like is" Chelsea fired back at me, obviously not getting what I was talking about.
"Yeah, well I didn't even apply, I mean what, the school reads everyone in the country's file and just picks at random, 'coz I'm not even the smartest at my school, I mean was, well wasn't now, I suppose, but I don't get it?" I said frustrated, I probably sounded like a spoilt rich kid(even though I'm not rich) I mean I was complaining about how I got into a good, private school, without even applying.
"Look-" Chelsea said stopping on the stairs and sounding serious "-this is a really good school, I mean if I wasn't here I don't know where I would be. I mean there is no other school like this in the whole of America, and I mean the WHOLE of America, so stop being so 'oh poor me' and get over yourself!" I stared at her open mouthed.
Chelsea started walking again, she reached the next floor and kept going down the hall.
"Come on" she said not looking back, what was with the whole 'If I wasn't here, I don't know where I would be,' that wasn't a normal thing to say, I mean where I would be? And the way she had said it, it was like she was implying something.......But I just didn't know what. I shook my head and continued up the stairs to my room, dumped my suitcases inside, and went down for the rest.
There was something weird going on here, and I was going to find out what it was, even if it was the last thing I ever did.
