   Grayson handed me off to Rose, and then disappeared into a different room. Rose greeted me with a hug, and then proceeded to hand me a paper.
The paper read:

House rules:
1. You are not to reveal your real name to anyone
2. Do not get the twins mixed up
3. Do not disobey the twins
4. Shower at least three times a day
5. Always have your hair and makeup done, but not to much makeup
6. Always wear the clothes provided for that day
7. Do not let anyone see you cry, especially the twins
8. Never make a mess
9. When you are menstruating, wear the bracelet provided, so the twins know.
10. Never fake your menstruation just to get out of your sessions with the twins.
11. Remember you can always be put up for auction, know your authority.

     I put the note in my pocket as I followed Rose down the hallway, limping the whole way.  She showed me the community bathroom first, then the dining hall, the gym, the laundry room, and finally, she showed me to my room.
     She explained that we had roommates, and thankfully, she was mine. She placed new clothes on my bed, and instructed me to go take a shower.
       I grabbed a towel and headed to the little bathroom in our room. As I got undressed, I looked at myself in the mirror. I had huge bruises on my knees, as well as hickeys and marks all down my neck and chest. They weren't pretty, and I wanted to get rid of them. I had never had anything like that on my body before.
        I stepped into the shower and washed my long blonde hair. The warm water felt nice on my aching body.
        After about 30 minutes, I got out, wrapped the towel around my body, and got dressed in the clothes that were provided for me. They were surprisingly very elegant, something I could've never afforded before.

  It was beautiful, and showed off my curves

  It was beautiful, and showed off my curves. After doing my hair and makeup, I left the bathroom.
     I stepped into my room, and there was a note on my bed. It read:

New girl,
   This is your new name:
            Elliana (Ellie for short if you like)
    Remember, Ethan and I both picked this name because we have a very strong liking to you, and think this beautiful name is fit for a beautiful girl.
             Xoxo, Grayson

    I read the note aloud to Rose. After I was finished I looked over at her. She had a huge smile on her face, but yet a mysterious look on her face.
"What's up?" I asked her, concerned
" hmmm well, I think you and the twins have to strong of a connection. Grayson fancies you way more then he does the other girls."
I was confused "What?! How would you know?"
She raised her eyebrows at me "First of all, when you were done with your test, he walked you down the corridor with his arm around you the whole time, and secondly, look at the dress he gave you!! It's absolutely stunning. Way nicer then the clothes everyone else gets, and lastly, he signed your note "xoxo" he never does that!!"
     At this point I was blushing majorly. Did he really like me like that? Or is he just messing around? I couldn't really tell.
