School For Freaks

Chapter 3

     This chapter is dedicated to DragonLover998 who plays Krystal. Thank you for this character, it means a lot!

    I woke up to the sound knocking on my door. I sit up and blindly fumble for my glasses as I rub the sleep from my eyes. The knocking gets louder and a voice comes with it this time. "Come on Tori get up! I know you got here yesterday and all but Damn girl it's almost 12 in the afternoon. Can't sleep your life away, so get up!" Oh god. Lyla why was she up and perky at such an ungodly hour?

     I open the door and glare at her. She smiled up at me slyly and I was about to tell her to go away when I noticed the other girl standing beside her. She was about 5'5 but she looked only a year younger than me. Her hair was dark brown with auburn highlights and it was about chest length. She had a little sprinkle of freckles under her eyes which were a pretty blue and green color. She had on a graphic t-shirt and cute Jean shorts.

     "Tori, this is Krystal Awatas; Krystal, this is Tori Lanchester, the new girl I was telling you about." Lyla said brightly.

     The girl nodded at me and said hi, I nodded back and gave her a smile, "Hi, nice to meet you. You guys can come in." I said and stepped aside so they could come in my room. They came in and went immediately to my bed and sat down. "So do you mind explaining what was so important that you had to wake me up?" I said staring pointedly at Lyla.

     She shrugged and said, "Just thought you'd want to be up so we could go and meet up with John, but hey if you want to go back to sleep we can go." She said and got off the bed, Krystal in tow behind her.

     "No, wait. I'm coming, Just give me a few to get dressed okay?" I said and went over to my closet picking out a pair of leggings and a Fall Out Boy shirt that I cut into a tank top. I went into the bathroom and got dressed and put on a light blue eyeshadow and a little bit of eyeliner. I hurriedly brushed my teeth and gathered my bed hair in a messy ponytail and grabbed my glasses since I didn't feel like putting in my contacts. I walked back into the room and grabbed my neon green Chuck Taylor hightops and put them on and was ready to go.

     Lyla nodded at my outfit and Krystal said, "Nice style." I thanked them and we headed out to the lawn. People were walking around and talking like they were yesterday and I noticed that some guys were checking us out while some girls were giving us the stank eye. Huh? Who knew that being the new kid would go around the school already. And I wanted to be off the radar. Looked like that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

     After a few minutes of walking I got curious and asked Krystal what her gift was. She looked at me and shrugged before saying, "I can freeze anything with my mind." I looked at her in disbelief and she smiled then pointed for me to watch the fountain over in the middle of the lawn. As I watched it, the water that was flowing out started to turn into ice right in front of my eyes. I smiled at Krystal and she laughed at my shocked expression. "Guess you took your name to a whole new meaning then huh?" With that comment she laughed again and said, "Yeah, I guess so."

     I thought to myself not for the first time how I was going to like this school. I already was making friends and it wasn't even a week into my time here.

     We had finally gotten to the guys dorm and as we walked in Guys were pretty much doing the same in here as they were in the girls dorm. Watching T.V. or talking or eating. A lot of the guys stared at us as we walked up to the rooms. I seen some were staring at our ass or boobs while others were just watching us with curiosity. Probably wondering what dude could possibly have three chicks going up to his room.

     When we got to John's room Lyla knocked on the door and then opened it up and walked right in. I frowned but followed her lead with Krystal right behind me. John was playing on his XBOX and hardly noticed our presence. I seen he was playing Black Ops 2 Zombies, but he wasn't doing very well. I walked over where he was sitting and sat down next to him.

     He finally noticed us and stared at me for a second before smiling and saying hi. I said hi and then looked pointedly at the screen where a horde of zombies was coming straight for him. He looked at the T.V. and grunted before going back to his game. I laughed at him saying, "So I guess this means the girls brought me here for a whole day of killing zombies then?"

 

       "Duh. Zombies kick ass and I'm going to enjoy kicking all your girly asses at killing them." He said.

     "Don't get your hopes up. It just so happens that I'm  a boss when it comes to Black Ops Zombies." I said and turned to the girls who were rummaging around John's room looking for the other controllers. I got up and helped them search and when we finally found them all of us went back to John and sat on the floor waiting for him to finish his round.

     John lost to us "girly asses" a total of 10 times out of the fifteen rounds we played. Needless to say, he was going to start taking tips from us on how to survive zombies from now on. That was how we spent the whole day. Playing zombies and chatting with each other. I found out that John and I have three classes together and Lyla and Krystal have four classes with me.

    

     When it got dark out we headed back to our dorm and had a sleepover in my room. It was fun and we decided to make every Saturday zombie day with John.
