Dad dropped me off at Kings College, and walked me into the refectory which was the size of a large gym and two storeys high. A woman appeared and swung open the old French doors, a badge shone on her chest saying MOD she had a blonde bulb, the size of a basketball and round Harry potter glasses which made my perspective of her have very googley eyes. "... and we'll be happy to have her here." I kind of drifted off while dad and her were talking, dad gave me a big hug and kiss then the MOD took me to the door on the right side of the room and walked me up the reoccurring steps all the way to the end of the hall where she gave me a brief tour of the room, it was at least two-times bigger than my room (which was the size of a bathroom) "you'll be lucky enough to room with a 'King' daughter, Bethany" the MOD informed me. just at that moment the door unlatched and a girl with long, wavey brown hair rushed in, took a quick look out the door then nervously slammed it. Once she realised the MOD was in her room she put on a guilty smile, holding one hand behind her back. "Hello Ms Dalton, lovely day isn't it?"
"Indeed little King. Well I'll get out of your hair, Courtney this is Bethany, Bethany take care of her"
"I shall, now you have a good day Ms Dalton" Bethany said, with that grin on her face again. She jumped on the bed across from me and "Ok let's make this quick, I'm the second king daughter of three and I'm the nice one, just remember that". She pulled out a tube of lipstick behind her back,popped the cap and applied a thick layer on top of her pursed lips. The contrast between the bright red lipstick, her deep tanned skin and her pearly white made her very pretty.
An angry scream echoed through the hall right before the door flung open, in bursted a girl, a little taller than me who looked almost the same as Bethany, except this one was blonde and seemed to have a lot more eye make-up. With all that eye-liner and angry expression on her face, I was tempted to hide under the rugs, as she glared at me.
"Beth..?" She started off nice "where's my lip stick?!" She demanded more aggressively.
"Is that any way to address the new boarder?" I could see this girl was about to blow up, I could read from her face she was saying, I'm not in the mood! Bethany finally got the message "Fine... Courtney, this is Amanda" Bethany gave her a soft punch and hesitantly said "Ma big sis" Amanda snapped back, "don't touch me thief"
"Fine here's your dumb lipstick" Beth gave in, Amanda snatched it off of her a quickly looked at the top of the lipstick for marks. "You used it"
"So?"
"Don't act dumb! This was my present from Brad. The new one!"
"The new boyfriend"
"No the new lipstick, dipstick! Oh my god I hate you!" The door slammed behind her. Then awkward silence broke. "So... She's your sister"
"My older sister, I have a little one, Lily, she's almost as bad" she put her hands over her face a pulled them down, "I don't know how brad puts up with her? All that love stuff, ewwh" she screwed up her face then laughed, I did as well. "I think we're going to be great friends" Bethany exclaimed "yes, I think we are" I answered pleased. I was starting to feel better about this place now, it was distracting me from my horrible life back in reality.
