You could hear a pindrop in the hallway.
Each footstep the inspector took made Juliet's heart beat a little faster. They were not warned that their dorms would be inspected, nor that they're grades would be monthly reported to the district.
Nova looked innocent, although she knew where her contraband was usually kept, she couldn't remember where it was. Her throat slowly clenched.
By contraband I mean her stashes of candy.
They both stood outside of their door on the hallway like the rest of the other girls, with their backs faced to the room.
Juliet glared at Carlie who was three doors down and turned back to the front.
"I told you Nova " She said still looking foward
"Aw shut up, it's not like you don't get your kicks from it too" Juliet rolled her eyes
"That was twice" Nova stuck her tounge out at her but froze when the inspector walked out of thier room. He stood between the both of them, looked in between them.
"Clean" he dictated and moved on to another dorm.
They both let out sighs of relief. And rushed inside.
Nova plopped face down on her bed while Juliet began to gather her things to go shower.
"It's 6 am gosh" Nova mumbled.
"I can't believe they're taking this schools competition thing so seriously"
Juliet sighed.
They remained like this for five more minutes until they heard the all clear. Juliet and Nova sprang up from their beds and headed down the hallway and made a left, heading to the bathroom.
There were a few girls, it was 6:10 and school didn't start till eight. Nova got into a shower, surprisingly unlike one might expect in a communal shower, they were always pretty clean.
She pulled of her bathrobe and turned the faucet. The warm water came rushing out, she felt Juliet get into the shower next to her's.
After they were done, they came out of the bathroom and brushed their teeth and did all the things. When they were done they walked out and got dressed in the dorm.
"I really hate these pants" Nova said pulling up her navy blue pants as they entered the cafeteria for breakfast.
"Let's be thankful they don't make us wear skirts" Juliet responded, getting in the line.
"Yet we have people that choose to wear them" Nova said sarcastically looking at Melanie and her group of friends, who wore napkins for pants.
"Oopsie doopsie I dropped my pencil!" Nova exclaimed putting her hand on her mouth, mimicking the group of girls. Juliet giggled as Nova bent over to pick up her imaginary pencil.
"This day just got better" Nova heard a deep voice say behind her. She immediately shot up from her position and whipped around. She was met with Liam smirking at her.
She wasn't feeling as tolerant as she was on Saturday. She had spent her Sunday with Juliet's study group cause she had nothing better to do and that gave her time to hate Liam again.
She noticed lipstick marks on his neck and she rolled her eyes.
"So early Liam, really?" He gave her dashing smile, no wonder all the girls were falling all over him.
