A Southern Princess

Chapter 2.

"Well that's all of it" huffs Caroline, putting her hands to her hips.

After the welcome center we walked around the whole building. She showed me the mess hall, which is where we are supposed to go eat unless assigned else where. She showed me the utilities room, the training caves, my room and lastly the school's class rooms. Caroline told me that they only taught the four main subjects, you wouldn't do anything besides that.

"It's lovely, grey is a great color choice." I peer at her through squinted eyes, hoping for her face to contour but it doesn't.

"We don't approve of anything but the three G's." She states flatly

"What are those?"

"They are Grey, Granite and Gold. No other colors besides that are allowed inside the premises of the facility." She pulls her loose fitting blazer down to her thighs and turns a corner.

"But my mom bought me a navy blazer! She even sewed the schools logo on it! What am I going to wear?" I can hear the tension I'm my voice so I force myself to calm down.

"We will figure out something but for now go put on the uniform." She points a long thin finger in the direction of the bathrooms and I go.

The bathroom is spotless and of course painted grey. So far I haven't seen the slightest bit of gold as Caroline had mention was allowed. I strip off my clothes and quickly manage to change into my inform. The skirt is longer than I though it would be so I look really short. Just as I'm nearly finished a piercing sound, so loud I had to cover my ears, rings through the building. I race out of the bathroom and into the hallway. Still trying to fix my hair but luckily, fully clothed.

Caroline is standing where she was before, facing the bathroom, patiently waiting for me while kids and teens alike stride past her. The hallways are flooded from wall to wall with students.

"What's going on" I ask shocked

"That's just the lunch bell, you might as well head into the mess hall anyway." She pulls out a slip of paper and hands it to me stiffly. "Here's you're schedule, enjoy the rest of your day Beth."

The hall quickly starts to fill with people once she struts away, her heels clicking sharply with ever step the takes.
