A.N. So when I was writing, I forgot to save and now I have to restart the chapter. 😰 Anyways, I barely had anything in the chapter, so it wasn't too bad. Ok doki on with the chapter now.

When the lobby cleared up, Harper and I went over to our luggage. I picked the luggage up with a slab of ice, and we went over to the lobby. Inside the floor was carpeted red, and there was an assortment of couches, seats, TV's, and coffee tables. In the middle of the room there was a sign, which I assumed were the housing arrangements. 

We walked over to the sign and began studying it, looking for our names. I found both of ours listed under the section 'Floor 9.' I was in room 1902 and she was in room 1901.

"Wow! We really got lucky. Right next to each other!" Harper exclaimed with delight.

"Yeah, we really did," I agreed.

"Floor 10, hmm," I heard someone mumble behind me. (Why did 10 autocorrect into Qorvus?)

Harper jumped in surprise, while I looked over my shoulder to see who had talked.

It was a girl, maybe an inch or two taller than Harper. She had long, straight hair and bangs that touched her eyes. She was looking intently at the sign. I felt a mysterious vibe coming off of her.

The girl seemed to notice that we were staring at her, because she averted her gaze to look at us, "oh, sorry about that. I guess I was thinking out loud again. I'm Claire Imagi."

"Alex Mariner."

"Harper Redwing."

I smiled at her, but it probably looked like I was making a face, "oh, well, it's nice to meet you Clair, maybe we could talk sometime."

"Ok," and with that, she and her luggage were in the elevator and gone.

We stared at the elevator doors. Harper leaned towards me and whispered, "she's scary."

"Well, even though she was a bit creepy, we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Maybe we should try to visit Floor 10 tonight." I responded, trying to sound encouraging, but I tensed up at the thought of having to be in a group of strangers, especially since I was living with six girls I had never met before.

Time skip to after elevator because nothing happens

The elevator door opened and we were welcomed by the sight of a pillow fight.

First Harper and I walked out of the elevator, and someone yelled, "look out!" Harper was hit in the face with a pillow, while I was floating all of our bags from inside the elevator, while trying to balance them on top of each other. It didn't help that it got hit by two pillows in the process.

A pillow hit the hand I was guiding the ice with, and the luggage came crashing down. I hope the floor below us doesn't get too angry.

Ice shards flew all over the place. I tried my best to stop them from causing harm to the room and its inhabitants, but some still embedded themselves into the furniture, the ceiling, floor, and onto me, Harper, and the other girls.

Four of the girls began to immediately apologize to us. One was short and skinny with straight brown hair that was in a French braid. Another was a bit taller than the first girl, but not by much. She had extremely curly hair that was light  blue, like the sky. The next girl, who was apologizing with the most sincerity, was a tall girl with long, straight, dark green hair with a flower crown perched on her head. The last girl, who kept on hugging us for some reason, was about as tall as the second girl, and had brown hair with a few streaks of white.

The other two girls were giggling so loudly they could have caused an avalanche. One had curly, purple hair, and the other had straight, light brown hair that was in a cute bob. I couldn't tell how tall they were because they were crouching.

The fourth girl, the one who kept on hugging us finally let go, "sorry about that, hope you guys didn't get hurt too much. I  Selina Illusory, the girl with the flower crown is Heather Gardner, the girl with the braid is Jenny Charm, blue is Chloe Song, and those two giggle heads are Luna Pop and  Carol Prancer," she said in a kind and playful, but serious tone. She gave us a smile.

I smiled awkwardly at her, avoiding eye contact a bit, "yeah, I'm fine, thanks. I'm Alex Mariner and that's Harper Redwing. I guess we'll be  dormmates for the next four years." I willed all of the ice shards to land in my hand, then turned them into water and dumped it into a nearby plant.

I looked at them all, "how about we try to get to know each other?"

Time skip to after conversation bc I have no idea how to write this part.

I excused myself from the conversation when they started talking about toothbrushes to go to my room and unpack a bit. While I was doing that, I thought about my new dormmates.

They seem pretty nice. I thought as I put my clothes and new uniform into the closet. The uniform was a grey skirt with business-suit like top with a white button-up shirt and grey tie. The jacket had a white star on it, and several grey stripes on it. We were allowed to wear regular exercise clothes for PE, as the school was on a budget and didn't want to pay for extra uniforms, and we were allowed to wear normal clothes on the weekends. Luna and Carol are really giggly, though.

As I made my bed and hung up beach and ocean related stuff on the wall, I thought about Clair. Maybe I should visit her today and say hi. Yeah, I'll do that. By the way, how did the school know to paint my walls blue and white? The design of the wall looks exactly like mine at home, and how did they know to put a desk and a bunch of bookshelves? Even a large tube to store water! Maybe Mind Reader told them.

I set up the last of my stuff. Done! And it only took me forty-five minutes! Now I can visit Clair, see what she's doing.

I opened the door of my room and peeked outside. They were debating which toothpaste was the best. I tiptoed over to the elevator, and got in, without getting spotted. I pressed the button labeled '10'.

When the elevator doors opened, I had no idea what was going on.

All I saw was Claire, on a couch, with a very angry girl standing over her. The girl had light brown hair that was 'wavy' but it was obvious she just used a curling iron, and was very tall and slender.

She yelled at Claire, "you don't know who I am? What's my name? I know you know it!"

Uma, I thought, even though I didn't say it out loud I opted for something more appropriate, "I don't know, why don't you tell us?"

Claire looked over at me, surprised, and the girl whirled around to look at me, and stomped over, "What did you just say?"

"I just wanted to know what your name is."

She looked at me with anger and disgust, "My name is Brianna Nightvision, I can shoot lasers out of my eyes,  you should know that, my daddy's famous after all!"

I looked at Brianna blankly, "um, no, I don't know who your dad is or who you are."

She scoffed and tried to 'sneakily' kick me in the shins, but I blocked it with some ice.

"Owwww," she pulls out her phone, eyes starting to glow a bright yellow, "daddy, help me! I stubbed my toe really bad."

She runs off to her dorm while hopping on one foot, and cursing under her breath.

I rush over to Claire, "are you ok?" 

"Yeah, fine," then she did something unpredictable; she hugged me.

When I pulled away, I made a split second decision, I smiled at her, "come with me."

I pulled her into the elevator and then teased the button labeled, '9', and when it dinged open, all of my dormmates looked over at us.

"Guys, this is Claire."

A.N. Well that was the longest chapter so far. I introduced all of the main OC's. Ok gtg to school now.
