Billie's pov

I can't believe that I'm friends with Brandie Wentz! And I met Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, and Ashlee Simpson! Brandie was on the top of our bunk bed and Ruby was laying on her bed. She had a single full sized. Brandie really wanted the bunk bed. Or else me and Ruby would be the two with the bunk bed. Apparently growing up in the orphanage Brandie either had a sleeping bag or cot until she was like 15. And apparently she just loved bunk beds. This girl's crazy but amazing!

The dorm adviser walked in and said, "Lights out. And Wentz get your ass out here."

Brandie jumped down wincing slightly. Oh yeah she got shot 2 days ago. Wait why is she here? I also noticed her ankle was wrapped.

I got under the covers as did Ruby. Brandie walked out with the dorm adviser and once the door shut we both jumped up. Quietly we snuck to the door and pressed our ears against it. I couldn't hear anything. I looked at Ruby and she shook her head mouthing,

"Can't hear. But we should get back in bed." I nodded and we tip toed back to our beds. Just as we covered ourselves again the door opened and Brandie walked in. She shut off the light and used the light from her phone to guide her to our bunk and up the ladder. I heard her plug her phone in before the room went completely dark and silent. Slowly I fell asleep.

I woke up to Brandie jumped down from her bunk. I noticed she had a towel and clothes. She was really quiet I'm just a light sleeper.

I looked at my alarm clock and saw it was 4. Our academic classes start at 12 what's she doing?

She went to grab her phone and I asked, "Why are you up so early?"

Brandie jumped saying, "Oh shit! Sorry I woke you up. And I have training at 5:30."

I looked at her confused. No one has training today. Except for the people who've been here for a few years who aren't competing in the next Olympics. We do training every other week.

She caught my look and laughed, "I was taking college level courses and getting all As in them so I'm not required to take academics. So I train full time."

Okay. She's smart. She smiled and I noticed that she had dark circles around her eyes like she hadn't slept. Quietly she slipped past Ruby out the door and I sighed before going back to sleep.

Brandie's pov

I was the only one in the showers. Thank god. I don't want people to see the rims around my eyes. I don't want anyone to find out that I didn't sleep. Stupid insomnia. And my Ambien wasn't working. No matter how much I take.

Once I was dressed and put concealer around my eyes and everything so I looked fine

I got in my uniform and grabbed all my gear and walked into the cafeteria. It was all Olympic players. Who had seen their share and were still training for just anything but going back. They all looked at me as I walked in sporting my first wear uniform. It was red and black. They all had gold and silver. One girl walked over and smiled,

"Hey I'm Rose Coughlin. I'm suppose to show you where everything is. And help you train." I smiled and shook her hand saying,

"I'm Brandie Wentz." I picked up on her feathery brown hair in loose ringlets cascading around her showers, her tanned complexion, and soft green eyes. We talked over breakfast and I met 3 other girls. Deanna had long curly black hair and soft brown eyes, pale skinned, Maxine had long bleach blonde hair and ice blue but soft loving eyes, and finally Emily. She has short auburn hair and gray eyes like mine with some purple flecks. They were all really amazing. Not to mention beautiful.

Soon a bell rang and I noticed it was 5:20. Rose grabbed my hand and smiled,

"C'mon Wentz lets get to field so coach won't lecture us."

"Why does everyone here like calling me Wentz?" I laughed.

Emily shrugged and patted my shoulder saying, "If it makes you feel better they all call me Decker since it's my last name. My brother's Jorel Decker from HollyWood Undead. They do it to everyone with famous relatives." We laughed as Rose continued to pull me out into to the crisp morning air, the sun just rising over the hills.
