Chapter 11 Lucie

The place is a bloody maze!
The School's car picked me up and is driving me through a puzzle of endless forest before it opens up to a pair of black iron wrought gates that says "Raelia" in cursive across it, apart of the design. The gates open up to a huge building with endless windows, ivy climbing up to make the house look almost taken over with the greenness of its leaves, it framed the windows, not touching them, as if just making them look like photographs. And then I get out the car only to join a group of other newbies and to be put on a tour by a blonde lady whose name I didn't catch as I was too busy checking out the group and realising how bad I look compared to them, they clearly didn't have a long journey behind them -twats.

We are led through the main welcoming house, before out the back door where there's a huge campus green, one of them anyway. And there's more buildings, and there's a bigger manor -castle house at the very back of the Boarding school,you can see it from all the way over here along with the towers- or are they called turrents?
The buildings are massive -there's no way I'm going to remember all the information she throws at us. There's flipping different buildings around the campus for different subjects- God forbid you have English literature and then science - screwed.
"This place makes my last school look like a fucking cottage." The girl next to me whispers, looking around with a judging look as the blonde lady continues to whitter away.
Her hair is a pixie cut, but with a long sweeping fringe that just flicks into her eye, it's a silver -platinum blonde colour, adding dinner chic style and she has designed sunglasses sitting atop of her head and her eyes are a mossy green-brown-amber flecked colour and she's got the clearest olive skin I've ever seen, causing her hair to stand out vividly: she's wearing black leggings with black ankle boots, and a white vest top with lace on it and a leather jacket over the top. We both are carrying a rucksack with us.
"You're telling me." I whisper back, glad to have an alley during this time, I feel like I'm just wandering around, I will never remember all this.
"Your accent's weird- where you from?"
"England originally, but I've been moving around since I was like six. Just got back." I shrug as she looks me up and down.
"No wonder your voice is like that. It's kinda cool actually." She grins, the look somehow looking more impish than I thought possible of a grin to do.
"Thanks...?" I think?
"Uma." She holds out her free hand to shake with mine.
"Lucie." I shake her hand grateful I'm not alone - hopefully we will put together at some point - at least then I'll have one person I can at least speak with.
"And these are the Dorming quarters." The woman says cheerily leading us through yet another building and archway before we get there. "Its time to split up and buddy up for your dorms, listen up!" She sings loudly before continuing to split us up.

Uma and I are roommates, thank God, and we're in Dorm room six-two - six: one of the farther Dorming buildings, but I don't mind, it's closer to the edge of the school, which means less prying eyes.
"Did the bimbo say one or two other roommates?" Uma asks as we near our room.
"I wanna say...two?" I draw out the ' two's in a questioning manner.
"I guess we're gonna see. Ready for this shit storm?" Uma jokes knocking on the door as I chuckle.
And then the door opens to show one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen.
Holy -
"Hi you must be the new guys! Welcome to Raelia- it's going to be an amazing time here for you both I can tell." The girl chirps, opening the door enough for us to get in before she shuts it again.
She's small in height, but it adds to this air of otherworldliness, her cheekbones honestly could make Angelina Jolie jealous, her skin a glorious glittering milk-and-honey colour, her eyes are a wide melted-chocolate colour, and her hair matches, with subtle blonde highlights. She looks like a model- and she seems extra bubbly and friendly.
The complete opposite of me.
"I'm Ava and it's really nice to meet you both." She smiles sweetly at us.
