That evening the girls said goodbye to Red on his landing outside his bedroom door.There was loud shouts of laughter and a weird smell streaming out of the room that made Red roll his eyes.
"I'll see you guys at breakfast tomorrow,ok?I need to go find out what the guys have been doing...bye!"
He slipped through the door and the girl went upstairs to their room.Pushing open their door they saw two other girls.One had ginger hair in a ponytail that fell in a sleek waterfall.The other wore a striped tshirt and had bouncy blonde hair that fell to her shoulders.
"Hi!Im guessing your our new bunk Mates!Im Floella but everyone calls me Flo.Thats Claire."
Claire waved her hand and nodded at the newcomers and closed her book.She sat crossed legged on her bed.
"We should really get to bed.No idea what tomorrow will bring."
Everyone nodded and Flo and Claire dived under their covers whist Eden and Delly got into their pyjamas.
Later when the room was dark and silent with only Eden's sniffly breaths being heard Delly got out of bed band went to the window.Sitting on the floor with her legs to her chest she looked up at the stars.She pressed a hand to the window pane.
"Paris,why did I have to do this alone?I wish you were here."
Delly closed her eyes and hesitated for a second."Ill be fine.Have fun,wherever you are...."
Unknown to Delly, Eden sat watching the girl speak.
The next morning Delly woke up to a gong sounding.She got up and pulled on her beautiful blue uniform.Brushing her long hair into plaits she tied them with small cherry bobbles.Then she picked up her schoolbag.
"Come on Delphine!"cried Eden"Otherwise Red will have eaten already!"
"On my way!" Delly called.
She paused before rushing out of the room. "Is it okay if you call me Delly. Delphine sounds horrible to me."
Eden smiled at Delly. "That suits you much better that Delphine. Uh... no offence."
"None taken," she smiled back.
The girls hurried down the stairs and slid into seats either side of Red.He hugged them tightly and then started frantically looking them over.
"You girls weren't scared?You didn't cry?The girls in your room are nice to you?"
As easily as she could Eden nodded.
"Red,everything's fine.The girls in our room are super nice and I didn't cry or feel scared.But I'm not sure about Delly!"
Delly elbowed Eden in the ribs."Ok,ok!Delly wasn't scared and didn't cry last night.Are you happy?Good,you can stop poking me now then!"
Delly smirked and turned to talk to one of the other girls.Eden turned back to Red.
"But she's hiding something.Someone called Paris apparently.We need to find out who she is...Any ideas?"
