After Alexi left, I turned to Caleb.
"Do you happen to know where the shower is? I've been looking around everywhere, but I can't find it."
He smiled.
"When I moved here, I could barely find anything at all, either."
He ran his fingers through his barely there hair, and started walking.
I struggled to keep up, when all of a sudden I heard a loud thumping coming down the hall.
"Leo!" A girl shrieked.
"Stop pulling Kimmy's hair!
A girl, who had short bright blonde hair to her chin came into view.
A little boy, with glasses was pulling a girl with strawberry hair and blue eye's hair. They looked alike, so I assumed them to be brother and sister.
A boy who had red hair, and was chubby was being chased by a boy with dark brown hair and a evil grin.
"Maxwell White! Stop running around! Samuel Baker! Come here right now!"
I looked at Max. He had an uncanny resemblance to Finn, from the hair to the menacing smile. Sam looked alot like Quinn did when she was around that age.
A girl, who was around 13 or 14 came into view. She was texting, had on way too much makeup, and looked like an Alexi clone.
"Natasha! Take all that crap off your face! What did I say? Its going to give you acne!"
"I don't get paid enough for this!" The girl added to her comment.
"I don't care what it does, bitch!" The girl said with venom.
A smaller girl, with brown hair to the back of her knees in a french braid and sweat pants finally caught up. She looked slightly older than Natasha. She was a cute girl, with a sweet smile and a showering of freckles on her face. She had glowing blue eyes that were absolutely stunning.
"Tash, I don't think you should say that to Rachel. She's under alot of stress as it is."
Natasha just sneered.
"Oh, please. Why don't you just go in the corner, and cry about never seeing your mommy or daddy again? No one likes you, you know. They just pretend because your like that girl from that orphan movie. You better watch the hell out, or i'll make sure the sun will never come out tomorrow for you!" Natasha stormed off.
Tears suddenly welled in the other girl's eyes. She covered her face with her hands, and crumpled. She ran down the hall. Feeling sorry, I sprinted after her.
She suddenly opened a weird door, with engravings and pictures all over it. Opening it up, I saw that it led to a stairwell. Following the soft thump of her footsteps up, I suddenly paused. There was a giant window, that overlooked a lake. The sun was shining down, and you could see a waterfall that projected a rainbow of colours. It was probably the most breathtaking thing that I have ever seen.
" Who are you?" The girl sniffled, backing up the stairs more.
Looking up at her, she suddenly looked much younger. Her blue eyes were glowing, like a cats. Her braid was out, and her hair fell in soft waves.
"I'm Gemma," I said.
"I heard what that girl said to you, and I'm sorry. Your going to meet bitches in life, but you just ignore them."
The girl sniffled some more. She wiped her eyes on her sleeve.
"But how can I? You heard her, didn't you? She is the only girl around my age here, but she just makes me cry all the time! I want to make her like me, I really do, but I am not obsessed with boys, and slutting around like she does with that ugly kid, Brian!"
