rupauls school for queens

friends and enemies ➳ chapter 2

all the queens were sat in rows in the hall, the 15 new students looking extra nervous as they stared straight infront of them at the selection of teachers: miss michelle visage and mr carson kressley (the two vice principals), mr ross mathews (the guidance counselor) and finally mr rupaul (the principal). rupaul cleared his throat and began his speech.

"hello queens. you elite 15 have been chosen specifically to come to this school, therefore i expect all of you to be on your best behavior and trying your hardest. your here for a reason. today you have a free day to get to know people, collect your timetables and get settled. lessons start tomorrow. if you have any issues, you go straight to mr matthews. now, good luck and dont fuck it up."

brooke lynn let out a breath that she didnt even realise she was holding. the girl next to her clearly noticed and turned to face her before smiling brightly.

"hey, dont be nervous. im nina west," she said happily and stuck her hand out for brooke to shake. for some reason, this girl made brooke relax a little. she was just so calming.

"im brooke lynn. sorry about that, im just naturally anxious,"

"nothing to apologise for, dont worry. wanna go get our timetables?"

"yeah, sure!"

brooke and nina walked off to get their timetables, and decided they would go back to ninas room and get to know eachother. brooke had never warmed up to someone as fast as that before. maybe it was because she was so nice and caring.

ariel had also hit it off with rajah, the girls bonded over their love of fashion and anything expensive. as they went back to their room they bumped into a smaller girl wearing a red dress.

"oh shit, sorry boo" they exclaimed, sending ariel into a fit of giggles. "whats the joke, coz i aint laughing?"

"sorry, you sound so much like the cookie monster from sesame street!" ariel laughed, setting rajah off and eventually making the smaller queen laugh.

"im ariel, this is rajah,"

"vanessa vanjie mateo, but you can just call me vanjie,"

"well vanjie, come back to our room with us?"

"i aint gon say no!"

yvie, on the other hand, was struggling. everyone seemed to avoid her, sending her odd looks and giggles. she could hear whispers along the lines of "what a freak!" and "definitely didnt get here on a scholarship, rupaul would never accept that." she fled the hall, tears welling in her eyes as she stormed back to her room, flinging the door open.

the loud noise made brooke lynn squeak, and yvie spun around noticing that there was two other girls there and not just her.

"sorry, i didnt realise there was anyone else in here. sorry if i scared you" yvie mumbled, tears free flowing now and she couldnt stop them.

"woah, are you okay?" nina rushed towards to other girl, worried for her. "im nina west, this is brooke lynn. what happened?"

"oh nothing... except the fact that everyone avoided me and said i didnt belong here because im not on a scholarship."

"well, who cares about them! there probably all just stuck up. their opinions dont matter. we'll be your friends, isnt that right brooke?"

brooke nodded. she didnt want seem intimidated by yvie, but she really was. yvie was just so out there, and looked like she could stab anyone who did her wrong. nina sat her down next to brooke and began to talk to them both. soon enough brooke began answering in full sentences and even making jokes from time to time. she was relieved that she had already made three friends, but was still anxious to meet her roommate.

hours had passed and most people were in the dining hall getting dinner. yvie, nina and brooke all went to a table but yvie bumped into a smaller girl on the way.

"watch where your going freak!" the smaller girl, rajah, shouted.

"excuse you! dont call her a freak, she is a lovely person ill have you know." nina said defensively. rajah ignored nina and began hurling insults at yvie.

"next time you should watch where your going! do you know who i am? at least i can turn out a look and not come out lookin like a snake!" rajah shouted.

"oh really? your makeup says otherwise." yvie spoke confidently for the first time that night, leaving rajah red with rage.

"rajah just leave it, they aint worth your time" vanjie said, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"your gonna regret saying that freak." rajah hissed before stalking away, ariel and vanjie close behind her.

nina was positively fuming for the rest of the night, even after brooke and yvie assuring her she did everything she could have, she still felt as though she should have stepped in more. they ate their food quietly, although the occasional joke was made. soon enough it was 9pm. the schools curfew was 10pm so brooke decided to head off to her room as it was a good ten minute walk.

she arrived home and opened a packet of cookies she'd brought from home, whilst sitting on her phone for a while. she like the peacefulness of her roommate not being home and she hoped that she would be out late everynight. that was soon interrupted however when she saw who had just walked in.
