'Taking Flight' book one of the Growing Wings Trilogy

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Lis

I shake the nightmare from my head and look around stupidly to see who or what made the noise. I see a girl who's giving me a look like 'What the hell are you ok?'

She seriously looks like she thinks blue is the new black and I realise she's talking to me "okay?" Is all I catch and I ask like the dumbest idiot, "what?"

She repeats "Are you okay?" 'Oh, she must know I had a nightmare' I think to myself 'I can't tell her' and I shake my hair to hide my ruby red cheeks. "I'm fine, fine " I lie rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

As she approaches me I notice how cool her hair has been done. It looked like Johnny rotten with her haircut that matched her...holy cow I realise she has two different coloured eyes one bright green eye and a blue eye. She holds her hand out and Introduces herself as Victoria "but call me Tori " she says shaking my hand with an iron grip

I shake it looking like an idiot until I realise that I haven't introduced myself "I'm Ayalisse " I stutter out.

"I'm gonna um go have a shower" I mutter awkwardly.

I finally get undressed sliding into the shower using what looks like the most expensive soap and shampoo in existence and think over what's just happened. First I wake up to my new roommate the most badass rich kid I've ever seen and as far as I know, we have one thing in common: we both have multiple piercings, the same amount which is five. I take my time in the hot shower thinking over how we might get along and relishing that unlike normal I can stay in the shower as long as I want.
