"So as I was saying." the woman continued. "I will be your personal trainer." I looked around my room. It was the same as the girls but it had blue wallpaper instead of baby purple. (I saw a girl walk into here room). I sat on the double bed since someone had got there before me and had taken the single bed. "Now if you wouldn’t mind, I you to stand in your underwear whilst I pick your clothing."

"Ermmm...okay" I shrugged taking off my clothes.

5 minutes of starring and waiting later, the woman handed me a pair of light brown Chinos and a grey top with a picture of sliver, thick-rimmed, glasses on the front. Some white socks and a pair of red pumps with laces. She walked out the room and left me to get changed.

I walked down the long winding corridors. I glanced at every door as I walked past trying to remember my way. I came to a dead and but there was door. Not like all the other small, black, shabby ones with peeling paint. This one was a large red door. I looked up at the gold engraved into the door.

Cafeteria

The room was full of cameras. This is when I remembered that I have walked into my own death. A sudden wave of nerves flushed over me but that all disappeared when I walked in the room and spotted Liam and Jake. They had already got me some food.

"Excuse me" A small female voice said "Can we sit here with you. These are the only seats left."

I turned around to see 2 stunning girls. The girl, who had talked to me, had long blond hair, golden brown eyes and glowing skin. She was wearing a plain white top, a leather jacket, leather leggings and black gold studded ankle boots. The girl stood to the left of her had long black hair, brilliant blue eyes and her skin was tinted brown. She was wearing a purple strapless dress down to her thigh, black flats, white ankle socks and a denim jacket that only went down to her waist.

"My name is Gabrielle" The girl with blond hair pointed to the girl stood next to her. “And this is Rochelle, my roommate. What are your names??"

"Hi, I'm Nick. Sit down" I said patting the two chairs next to me. They sat down almost immediately. "This is Liam and this is Jake"

~Gabrielle~

I walked into a room labelled cafeteria. To me it just looked like any old school cafeteria but just filled with cameras. There were tables dotted about everywhere. Queues for food and... Wait. That's the only difference. The food; it’s nicer and they have a proper chef here, not an old dinner lady.

I queued up with Rochelle and got myself a plate of spaghetti Bolognese and a glass of apple juice. I looked around but by the time we had got our food there was nowhere to sit except with some boys in the corner table.

I walked over to one boy with short brown hair and emerald green eyes-the same colour as Belle's (Belle I miss you...) and said "Excuse me" I said rather quietly. "Can we sit here with you? These are the only seats left."The boy turned round and looked me and Rochelle up and down and smiled. "My name is Gabrielle" I tuned to point at Rochelle and continued" and this is Rochelle, my roommate. What are your names??"

"Hi, I'm Nick. Sit down" He said patting the two chairs next to me; I sat down straight away because my back was killing me and Rochelle did the same. "This is Liam and this is Jake" He pointed to a black haired boy with blue eyes. His hair was neatly parted but in a cute boy way. The other boy, Jake, had blonde hair and brown eyes. Wow, he could have been my brother. I think I am going to like it here.

After we had finished eating me and Rochelle said good-bye and headed to our rooms.

"They seem nice" I smiled

"Yeah and they were all cute" Rochelle giggled. She noticed me blushing and added "So, which one do you like then??? I'm going after Liam"

"I....I only like them as friends" I stuttered

“Gosh, I’m kidding.” She grinned.

We had reached our door. Thank God. I entered the pin and jumped on to my bed. The other girl still hadn't arrived.

Beep. My phone went off.

"You’re not allowed phones in here" Rochelle informed me "Hand it over tomorrow morning or there will be a severe punishment"

"Ughhh ok" I said checking my message.

Honey, we are sorry we missed you. Have fun don't get killed. Mum and Dad xxx

Delete.

I saw a mail box next to my bed which I hadn’t noticed before. Then I remembered that is how we communicate with other people since we don’t have phones. I saw an envelope flying out of it and caught it in my hand.

Put phone in here immediately.

I slipped my phone into the envelope and slipped it through the mail box. Wow! That is soooo cool.

"We better pick our pyjamas now and our clothes for tomorrow since we don't have any competitions until Friday for me and Saturday for you." Rochelle jumped into the bathroom before I could answer "Come on!! I am crap at using electronic stuff, I’m more old school. Back in the days you know."

I walked over to her and logged on to my account. I picked a plain white top, some chequered pink shorts and some ugg slippers for my pyjamas- I would tied my hair up in a neat pony tail. For my outfit tomorrow I picked a white strapless dress which was tight at the top, and had a thick black ribbon sowed just under the boobs, and then flowed down and some black flats- I would let my hair hang loosely. Apparently there was to be an opening ball tomorrow night so I had to pick an outfit for that too. I choose a light blue s, tight dress which came just above the knees and had thin straps to hold the dress up. I accessorised it with a light blue Pandora bracelet and some high heels with a small bow- I would make my hair wavy and let it hang loosely over my shoulders.

Rochelle picked a black top and some grey shorts- no slippers- for her pyjamas- she would leave her hair down. For tomorrow she picked a red tank top, a (short, black, loose) skirt and some 5 inch red high heels- she would leave her hair down. She picked a long black-strapless dress- that flowed down (past her feet). She decided she only needed to wear plain black flats- She would straighten her hair put it into a loose bun.

We got changed and decided to get an early night. Well... when I say early I mean 25 minutes before the lights go out. Tomorrow is a new day; a new beginning; a new start.

"Goodnight mum, Goodnight dad. Goodnight Belle" I whispered quietly and then added "Goodnight Rochelle” loud enough for her to hear me.

“Goodnight Gabs” She replied. “If you get lonely you can share this bed with me??”

I hopped into her bed and fell asleep instantly.
