Eyes drifted down towards the stained carpet, Korani felt weird inside. She didn't like the looks of this old run down Boarding school, but her dad was sending her here due to a business trip he had to go on. Korani's eyes drifted towards the counter where an old woman was sitting. Her dad was standing there talking to the woman behind the counter. Butterflies had sunk inside her stomach as she glared at the walls. Paint peeling off, Scratch marks on the walls, she didn't know what to think. And the air felt intoxicated. Full of germs and felt rather unhealthy to inhale in.

An old man stepped out of a door. "Mr Okata?" the man said as he looked her dad up and down. "yes?" her father replied in a grim tone. The man gave her dad a friendly smile and gestured for him to step into the office. As his eyes slowly gazed over towards Korani. "Come on little Miss Korani." He said with a dull smile as her farther stepped into the office. I followed and the man shut the door behind us. The office was the same as the lobby. Old paint peeling from the walls. And that same intoxicated Air. The man gestured for the both of them to sit. The chairs were old leather arm chairs. Most likely made in the 50's she slowly crept over to the chair, and sat down. Her father standing near the door, and the man walking over to a larger leather chair sitting behind an Oakwood desk.

"I'm Mr Sovran." He said giving the both of them a warm smile. "I had just been going through the Enrolment forms a few hours ago Mr Okata, your daughter will be in safe hands" He said with a slight smile. Korani looked down at the old carpet, starring at the stains and tares in the carpet. Her eyes then glanced up at the man. He gave her a warm smile before her farther replied. "okay good to know sir. I have to get going. So would it be okay if I leave her here to get settled in?" her father says in a dull tone. Not showing much emotion. He didn't seem like he cared. After mum passed away he just seemed like he wanted to start fresh... but without her in the picture.

The man smiled to her farther. "We will take good care of your daughter." He said starring at some paper work. "Before you go I need you to sign this?" he says as he hands her farther some paperwork. His eyes glared at her farther, with a slight smile upon his lips. Her farther grabbed the paper, and grabbed a pen from his suit pocket, and signed the paper work.

After a few minutes of signing paperwork and getting Korani organised into the school, her father left, without any proper goodbye. Mr Sovran gave Korani a map to the school, her room key, and 3 school uniforms. He smiled at her "you will be in a room with 3 other girls" he said with a slight grin, as Korani headed out the office and towards the dorms. Korani walked down a dark hallway, lanterns on the sides of the walls to light up the hallway. Her eyes drifted along as she looked at each door number. She was looking for number 201 which happened to be on the 3rd floor. She slowly walked up the stairs. No one in site, everyone must be in their rooms or maybe in a class. But it was late at night, so most of them mostly in bed. She didn't know what to think... What if the girls in her room didn't like her? Or if they were total Bitches. Butterfly's hit her stomach again as she reached the 3rd floor. Eyes gazing at the door, 201, she put the key in the door and turned it. Slowly opened it and popped her head around into the room. Seeing two girls sitting on the ground, and another lying on the bed, all chatting away. They all turned their heads starring at Korani. "Who the hell are you?" one said, the others giggled slightly. The three of them all in there uniform, but it was slightly changed. All three of them wearing gothic boots, with fishnet stockings, they all had teased up hair one blonde and the other too looked likes twins. Her eyes gazed upon them all. "I'm uhmm Korani." She said in a quiet voice as she slowly stepped into the room. She stood there with her bag hanging off one shoulder. Head slightly tilted to the side, and one slightly raised eyebrow.

"Alright Korani? Why are you in here?" the blonde Goth girl said. As she stood up off the ground walking toward Korani. Korani's eyes drifted around the room. And the butterflies in her tummy began to flutter about even more, she felt like she had a spot light on her and she felt tiny and out of place. "you gonna talk?" the blonde said, As she moved closer to Korani. Korani's cheeks went red, her eyes glanced down at the floor, she was speechless. She didn't like the thoughts of sharing a room, with a bunch of Goths! A slight word escaped her lips. Before she lifted her head up to glance at the blonde, by the looks of things the blonde was the leader of this little Goth gang. "aww does the Asian twat not speak!" the twins giggled slightly as one played with the others ones hair, Korani felt even more tiny, she felt like a little bug in the middle of a busy sidewalk, the blonde stepped a little closer to Korani, eyes looking her up and down. "I hope you're not staying in here, Korani." She says as she stares at Korani, she then leans forwards grabbing Korani under the chin, "Speak girl." She says with a slight snarl, Korani felt fear fill her body as she was an inch away from the Goth's face, her lips slowly parted as words slowly seeped out her mouth. "This, this is my room." She says in a quiet voice. The other Twins leant forward staring at the both of them, the blonde bit her lips slightly, "well then, I'm going to make your time her rather uncomfortable." She says leaning in and kissing Korani on the lips. And she then pushed Korani up agenised the door, "I'm Roxy by the way," the blonde said as she pulled away from Korani and sat down on her bed. The twins giggled, and went back to playing with each other's hair, Korani stood there near the door. Wide eyes and red cheeks, she slowly walked over to the girls. "uhmm.. Which bed is mine?" she says looking at the three of them with a blanks stare. One of the twins pointed to one of the bottom bunks, which had no blankets or pillows. Korani slowly walked over to it. Placing her bag down next to the bed, and she slowly crawled onto the bed and laid down facing the wall with her back turned to the other girls and she closed her eyes, blocking out the girls conversation.
