The Outcasts

.03

I woke up just as Gus was pulling to a parking lot of a huge building and to say that it was beautiful is an understatement. I looked at Gus and say, "This place is huge, are you sure that we are at the right place? I don't think that this is the school Gus." After we parked Gus turns around and tells me "This is the school, the housing, and stores that is on the campus. Your parents back home should have told you that the campus is quite big." After he finished that I explain "My parents hate me and want nothing to do with me because I make the family look bad. They only talked to me if they absolutely needed too, or there was an emergency." The look on Gus' face was unreadable, I think he was mad but I really didn't know, as he got out of the Hummer.

I wake up Zoey, because some how she is still asleep, even with the fact that Gus and I were talking pretty loud. When I say that Zoey can sleep through anything, I mean she can really sleep through anything. She wakes up right away, surprisingly, and goes to stand up but hits her head on the roof. Just as she goes to lean back on the door Gus opens it and Zoey falls on the ground with a hard thud, and she starts talking with her eyes closed. "Bella, I just had the weirdest dream. We had to fly to Maine and got picked up by this gu...." she finally opens her eyes because she hears Gus and I laughing. "Ummmmm, Gus, where the hell are we?! This place looks huge!!" As she looking at Gus for and explanation he explains to Zoey the exact same thing that he did to me when I asked if we were in the right place.

"Girls, this is your school. Follow me and I will show you where you will be living from now on." Gus turns around and starts walking. We walk into a building and immediately see tons of people, and a huge lobby area with a view all the way up to the top floor. Turning a corner we walk into the elevator and press the button number four. There is music playing, and the dinging of the elevator. The doors open and we walk down the hallway and stop at the door #420, and I laugh finding it amusing. Zoey slaps me and pulls me in the door.

Before we walked 5 feet into the door Gus stopped us and says, "Zoey your room is on the left Bella yours is on the right. Go take a shower, and meet me in the living room so that we can go over some rules" Zoey hardly even let him finish and says "Are you saying that we stink? Because I took a shower before we left America so I shouldn't stink that bad, but I can't talk for Bella. I don't know what she does on her own time." So that's how she wants to be? Two can play that game.

Gus moves out of the way, I am in awe for the millionth time today. There is a huge living room with two doors on both sides of the room, a tv in the middle wall, with a couch in front of the tv. I run to my room with my backpack on to go get some clothes when I hear Gus yell "You both have a bathroom connected to your room! You don't have to fight over a bathroom!" Sure enough I turn around and see a open door that leads to the bathroom.

I get done in the shower and go to the boxes the were placed in my room and find the boxes labeled clothes and pick out a pair of black leggings and my favorite white nike hoodie and my black high top vans and get dressed. I brushed my hair and put it up in a messy bun, and walk back into the living room to see 2 people, including Gus, sitting on the couch waiting for Zoey and I. Just as I sit down Zoey is walking out of her room and she starts yelling "BELLA THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I LOVE BEING HERE ALREADY!" Then she finally realized I'm not in my room and we have a visitor sitting on the couch, so she apologizes and comes over to the chair on the other side of the room.

"Hello ladies, I am the dean of the school. My name is Dean Holder. There are a few things that I wanted to talk to you about. First thing, the dress code. You have a uniform that you are required to wear during school hours, after 5pm when your last class gets out you are able to wear what makes you comfortable. Second thing, the phones that you were provided with when you were picked up must go with you every where that you go. Third thing, there are stores on the campus. Anything that you may need that isn't in the stores you let me know and we will try to get the products that you need. Forth, I am providing you with another driver so that if there is any reason you are to be separated you have the ability to get around without having to wait. That being said I will leave you two to rest so that you can unpack and get ready for your first day at school here."

We thank the dean for coming and talking to us and walk her to the door and as she's about to walk out she says "I will have Gus drop you off at my office on Monday so that we can talk about why you are here and what you need to know about this school that you may not know. Have a great night, and let me know if you need anything." With that she walked out of our apartment leaving us to unpack. So I leave Zoey in the living room after telling her that I was going to the kitchen to get a drink then go unpack my stuff and decorate my room, and that's what I did for the next 3 1/2 hours.
