"Your new dormroom, Trina will be your new roommate," A Senior who I'm sure was the owl of the dorms says. She was really tall, model body, her brown hair made me want to cut my own and move out in the desert, it was really long. It had so much volume, I doubt she ever sleeps. She even had make up on at night, its time to sleep not time to paint your face. I enter my room and all my stuff seemed to be already packed. The beds here were surprisingly big, they were Queen size beds. At least the money spent is worth it, it was one big room yet we were separated by a study room. She couldn't see my personal space and I couldn't see hers, this day is one of the longest days ever and the worst but its getting better.
Its one big room with two rooms in it, I won't knock into Trina anytime soon since our spacing is huge. Trina appears from her side wearing a short navy dress and black lace heels. She had blonde hair with navy linings matching her dress. Aha!, she also was the 'match things up' type of girl. Her eyes were, I really can't describe the colour since she also seemed to have painted her face. She had a pale white face making her make up clear enough. She also had a nose ring and her ears were full of piercings. The kids in this school seem like they don't have parents, some wear short uniform, others have piercing all over their bodies and tattoos. My mom would never allow me to be this free, I mean sometimes I question my saint personality. For a girl who is turning 16 and has never really been wild or acted like a real teen, but I still have time to live a little I think.
"You are Lizzy right?" She asks opening her arms, she gives me a warm and loving hug and I smile in her arms. That hug made me feel a lot better even though she didn't know I was in need of it.
"Yes, yes I am, you have one of the best hugs ever", I say whilst in her arms
" and you have the best smell ever, not to forget how beautiful you are, you make me want to wipe off my makeup and move to a desert,"She says loosening me and observing me up and down, she was really beautiful yet she was complimenting me.
"Oh well let me leave you two to get along, I need to get ready before the woods fill up," The Senior says opening the door
"The woods fill up, I'm confused," I look at the both of them expecting clues
"You weren't told?, there were posters everywhere, its almost like school tradition, we go to the woods and celebrate our comeback," The Senior says
"But the learners changed it up a bit as years passed, it became a party in the woods with no teachers allowed," Trina finishes laughing, no teachers allowed, how is that even possible
"Well is it safe?, I mean if there is no teacher on guard then that's dangerous, in the woods and partying, is there no touchy touchy stuff, or like don't the teens get drunk and like...",
" Fuck?, obviously, the dorms don't get locked obviously, wait a minute have you ever been to a party before, of course there is whatever you call fucking, and yes drinking is number one on the list,"Trina mumbles and I cringe at the words she used, and of course the strong terms are affecting my ears. This hostel isn't as safe as I thought it would be. I was supposed to be punished for appearing late firstly, secondly teens can't be in control of the dorms whether they are seniors or not, thirdly hormonal teenagers partying without guardians around should not be tolerated.
"I have never been to a party, and please just say Fudge please," I say looking at Trina with pleading eyes, the Senior laughs looking at me then at Trina's shocked expression.
"Seems like we have a saint here, goodluck Trina, I also wish you goodluck Lizzy, I hope you survive in this school," The Senior says and she closes the door. This is all wrong, the Seniors are supposed to be the strict ones not the party freaks and this Senior was supposed to report Trina for using the F word in front if her.
"You don't use the F-word?, where are you from?, I see you don't even have earings and you dont strike me out as the drinking type,"She looks at me in shock, she looked even more pale like blood had been drained out of her internal organs.
"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Elizabeth Ocean's, I'm from South Africa, I have never touched intoxicating liquid. I dont have piercings or demonic tattoo's on my body. I have never been to an actual party with stinking hormonal teenagers unless going to teacup parties in primary counts. Im a Sophmore and I'm turning sixteen next month, I love reading books and I a....",
" I think that's enough, I think you missed a stage in your life, or maybe I did, I dont know what planet you come from but it sure isn't earth. I, I, I'm really, I dont know what more to say besides teaching you how life works,"Trina says dramatically holding her forehead and pacing back and forth around the study room.
"Oh no I a....",
" I don't know if I should be ashamed of myself or be ashamed of your mole life, you leave me no choice Lizzy, I'm going to Mehumically fix you up,"She says cupping my cheeks
"Oh no I'm totally fine, my life might be miserable sometimes but its fine, you need to go, you dont want to miss out on your so called traditional party," I say as she releases her hands away from my cheeks, my life might have been a lockdown for a teen but that will only help me. I need a road map to reach my destination just like I need Mom and Dads instructions to graduate.
"Your life is miserable but you can make it fun a bit, I know I shouldn't be motivating you into doing the wrong, but if you dont explore as a youngster people will think you are a freak when you get older, I'm going to make you enjoy life a little bit, I'm going to make you liven up a little," She says cupping my cheeks again and smiling at me.
"but...",
" uttatattata, no buts, I dont want to hear it, you are going to have the best highschool years ever end of discussion, we start tomorrow, mwaaa, bye I have to go!,"She kisses my cheek and grabs her purse. I wave her a see you later and she closes the door. Great silence after all, a rest before my next mega day at school, mom said I should try out for the cheer leading team to which I WILL NEVER!!!!. I dont have time to wear soft porcupines on my hands and shout out silly stuff for the peoples attention. Tommorow I want to try out the Icing ring. I move towards my room and smile at my view. I had a little cute dressor desk and it had my favourite books on it. My Paris bedding was so attractive, my room already had the strawberry essence. I didn't even ask where the showers were, like the usual it was public showers which I hated but its better than nothing I guess. I change into my red night dress, it was silky and short, honestly was on of the most comfortable extremely short dresses I have ever wore. I put my thick red gown on and wear the hoodie. Red was my favourite colour but I thought to myself I should stop making it too obvious so I went for black slippers. Right now my aim was to get out of the room and look for Melissa's room.

Time was flying by fast, on my digital watch it was 22:34, and the halls seemed empty, it felt like I was the only one in the dorms. I still was in the need to find Melissa, what scared me was the fact that the hostel wasn't locked so anyone could enter anytime the pleased. I still have the nerve to be walking around with a gown opening each and every room, calling out Melissa's name. I hear sound in a room, a girl muffling laughs, maybe it was Melissa. I knock on the door and...
"Oh God!!!!",I scream out holding my chest in horror. I just wished I was blind that moment I saw the one and only. A guy, and not just any guy, it was the only Manwhore of the school, LEO!, how did I manage to sit with this guy in a plane?, like even next to him when he does disgusting things. I guess all the guys are just like Justin Dumbo. My throat didn't go numb, it became sour, my heart wasn't beating faster, it was actually beating slower. I wasn't breathing harshly, I was struggling to even breath. I swallow the heavy and bitter lump of pain in my throat as the acid stings my eyes. What is wrong with me?, I am looking for Melissa next thing you know I'm crying over a boy who popped his half naked body out in a girls dorm.
"Tttt,that, its, wrong room," I mutter and run away from that door. I'm embarrassed because I keep on crying helpless tears. I'm regreting my body because its not cooperating with my brain. I hate it when I cry but I really cannot help it, I guess its automatic, but why. Doesn't my body get tired of producing salty water every time?, why can't my heart do its normal job which is pumping blood instead of bringing out emotions?,
I get to my dorm and close, I move to my personal area, I lock and throw myself on my bed. I shouldn't have gone out to look for Melissa, I knew she would be with Riley and Maya yet I still went on my terrible adventure. I grab my water bottle and search for my tablets, it was best to take them whilst my head was still a little calm. I'm really happy it didnt cause me to drop in front of that door. Maybe sitting with Justin Dumbo wouldn't have been as bad.

I cannot sleep, the time now is 12pm and I really can't sleep. I know back home my friends are probably getting ready for school, maybe I should call them. I really miss them a lot, I need to tell Annalisa about my emotional sickness, she would probably laugh at me. Oh never mind I can't even call them, the same trespassing jerk has my PHONE!!!
I tighten my bedding and close my eyes. I count my sheep, as my conscience slips away.
"Shhhhhh, yes she is asleep," I hear two voices negotiating in a low pitch. One was a deep voice the other was TRINA!!, I hear them crashing onto things, she laughs and so does he. Oh so this is the kind of life Trina wanted to introduce me to. Yes I do want to explore a bit but breaking the school rules or even allowing a boy to enter into my dorm, that's a bit to much. I dont see myself doing that at all. Right now I wish I had earphones on because the noise are really making me feel uncomfortable to even be around. Why did my mom take me to this type of school?, isn't their like a better one, I mean I thought this school was one of the best schools ever. Sometimes school covers can always dissapointed you.
