Butterflies (Book 1)

1.

The green eyed girl was walking through the corridor, not even paying attention to her surroundings. She was looking at her own feet, thinking about how much she hates Martha and the other Butterflies. "She is basically nothing without Sally and Gigi. Hey, that one's good... I hate how after arguments I think about clever shit I could've said." She stopped and raised her head. Room number 13.

- I don't know who convinced me to study law, but please remind me to kill that person later. - said Alexandra, rolling her green eyes and closing the door.

The room was small, but not claustrophobic. There was only one bunk bed on the right. Opposite, there was a commode, filled with different books and folders full of papers, most of them by Alex. Next to the commode there was a wardrobe. It contained only clothing. Nothing really special. Opposite to the door there was a wide window with bright pink curtains. There was also a desk below. The desk was almost compeletely covered in papers, books, sketchbooks, notebooks and drawing tools. The whole room was a mess, but in a positive way. Basically everyone (except for Alex's parents) had the same opinion on it: "It has it's own, unique and warm atmosphere." Alexandra thought it felt warm because of the orange walls, orange is a warm color. It was also one of the better looking rooms in the whole female dormitory. It was slightly bigger than most rooms and had a bunk bed, that means more space.

A pale girl was laying on the lower bed. She had brown, straight hair and expensive, dark red glasses. Her eyes were bright green. It was a very specific color, Alexandra thought it was dark limet. The girl was wearing a school uniform - a navy blue top, a light blue skirt and black mary janes. The uniform was from some french high school teaching it's students to be great chemists, psysicists and alchemists.

- Well... You're my twin sister, I know you like my own mind, and I have to disappoint you - the person you're talking about propably died two ceturies ago. - said the pale girl.

- You're not funny, Ada. - replied Alex. - I'm serious!

- 'Kay, 'kay, just calm down, sis! Judy, Van and Michelle are visiting tonight, we'll finally get a chance to chill. - said Ada.

- Great! And now I also have to clean this mess up, perfect.

- Hey, hey, slow down, everyone likes our little mess. Also, it's 5 PM already, they'll be comming soon.

- Oh, really? You do realize I have my own stuff to do, right? I mean, I'm really fed up with you planning my evenings, what if I invited my generic love interest over for dinner?

- Your generic what? - laughed Ada.

- Ah, forget it...

After a few minutes, the door opened, showing three female silhouettes. The first one was Michelle. She had blonde curly hair, pale skin and very light blue eyes. She was tall and sporty, almost always smiling and blushing in a healthy way. Judy came right after her. She had pitch black, short hair and dark yellow eyes. She was always wearing a dark navy blue dress and long boots. Finally, there was Vanessa. A tall and skinny blonde always wearing long, yellow gloves, shorts and a pink shirt. People were always complaining about how both Alex and Van were wearing gloves, but Alex's gloves were grey and fingerless.
- Guess what! - yelled Michelle at the top of her lungs.
- Um... Hi? - said Ayano. She was only bitchy around Alex. When there were other people, she was awkward and cold.
- I'm going on a da-ate! - replied Michelle in a sing-songy voice.
- Aren't you like... In a relationship? - said Alex.
- Alex, you're so silly! I'm going on a date with Peter!
Michelle made her way across the room and sat down on the desk. She took her bag, put some jellybeans out of it and started eating them one by one.
- So, Alex - she said. - Any plans for tonight?
- Three essays and two hours of sleep. - replied the green eyed girl.
- Girl, what the fuck!? - yelled Vanessa.
- I was kidding, you idiot. - laughed Alex, getting up and walking towards the commode. - Actually, I'm waiting for Martha to tell me if she needs anything.
Everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion.
- Who are you and where's Alex...? - said Judy quietly.
- Oh, well, actually, her boyfriend is moving from Gremany to America tommorow, I think she deserves to spend some time with him.
- Good thinking! - said Judy slightly louder. - But... Since when does she even have a boyfriend?
- Since kindergarten! - said Alex loudly. - Actually, Ada and I used to go to high school with him...
- Really? What's his name? - said Ada surprised by the whole situation.
- Jamie. Jamie Lockheart.
- I don't remember him, how do you know so much about him?
- Three words: Martha, Philip, Barbara. He was studying in Berlin, but now he finished his studies and is going to live with Martha in their awfully expensive apartment.
The same moment they heard someone knocking on the door.
- Come in. - said Ada.
The door opened and showed a female silhouette with long, braided hair.
- Yes, Martha? - said Alex, smiling.
- Hi, my least favorite cousin. - she replied. - And... Your... Friends... Well, anyway, I need you to get this done by tommorow. - she handed Alex a folder of papers. Alexandra looked surprised.
- What the actual fuck am I looking at? - she said, staring at the folder.
- Oh, those are papers I need to sign so Jamie can move to my place.
Alex took a deep breath.
- Okay, first off - you had three goddamn months to do that. Second off, are you asking me to forge your fucking signature!?
- Yes! Now sorry, I have to prepare myself for Jamie's arrival. - replied Martha, opening the door.
- Hey... - said Ada, getting up and crossing her arms. - I'm not a law student, but I'm pretty sure forging someone's signature is a criminal offense.
- Ayano, I a s k e d her to do that! - said Martha as she left the room.
