Twisted

Room mate

“Well, I am sorry I made you pass through all those because of me. Now can we go?”

“Sure, sure, since you are in a haste to dumb me here like I am one chewing gum stuck to your butt” She said and did not wait for are a reply before she started moving towards the door to the school building. She being the shy type does not mean she allows anyone to step on her, she carries herself with elegance and poise. Anything less would lead to some answering to her mother.

She entered into the building and down the hall, with the help of the school’s map she was busing herself study the night before, she didn’t have trouble finding the Administrative block. She identified herself and with one or two gasps as to the mention of her surname, she was done with her enquires. Her hostel pass was given to her and without even giving a second look at Fredrick who stood at the front door when she came out, she left the school building and walked towards the hostel building, just across the school.

Going through all the necessary things she got her room number and started to move to go and find the room when she hears the mistress say

“Sorry sir, you are not allowed in there. This is a female hostel” Kerra turns back and said

“I believe everyone should be in school by now so the hostel should be free and he is with me. Assisting to get all my stuffs inside. He just wants to get to know the way to my room, that’s all, so can he?” Even with all her explanation, she knew that with just few words from Fredrick, they would be allowed in. she could see it all over the mistress face that she is definitely smitten by him.

Taking the expression as a yes, Kerra motions to Fredrick to follow her

“See, definitely a living hell” She said ones they were out of hears shot

“Whatever you say, big head. Now lets get you settled and I will take my leave, well and Leave” As he finishes his statement Kerra just shakes her head

“You can’t wait to throw me away so you can have a break of driving me around? Am I that disturbing?”

“Of course not. Just being myself” He smiles that smile of his that would send some ladies falling over on their feet, yeah, but not her. He was like an uncle to him.

She enteres her room and sees there was an occupant on the other side of the room, thinks brings some foreign feelings to her. She would have to live with another stranger and try to be friends with her. Urghhhh. Just the thought of it disturbs her stomach.

Fredrick already left to get her bags so she just continues to look at her neighbours things. Neatly arrange with the major colour being purple. A purple bedspread, hair tools, brush, towel, everything with a touch of purple.

‘Waoh’ She says to herself

As Fredrick also enter that was the first thing he also said. He drops off all her luggage and hugs her before bidding her a save stay in school. Tears were almost coming but she stops them. Facing the school building again, she walks towards the school for her first period.

As she goes in for her first class, minding not to get late for class, she succeeds with that but one thing stops her steps as she enters the class. All eyes were on her, the dread that she didn’t know was there came out for no where.

She searches for a free sit and she finds a free one on the third roll just in the middle of a girl with a bow tie on her head, coloured purple and all her attentions on whatever it was she was doing. While the other side was another girl, looking all weird and nerdy.

Jesus, she can’t believe she is going to have to sit with that girl.

Trying her best not to show any emotions in her eyes she moves towards the free space. Sitting, she removes her bag from her back and drops it on her lap, brings out her books and prepare for the class before the teacher comes in. Few minutes into her Biology textbook, she hears the teacher enter and speak

“Morning class. A new session it is and I am glad to see umm, is it three or four new faces?” He asks no one in particular and no one seems to want to answer him but then answered himself

“Yeah, three. Well, I am Mr. David, so you new members get to stand up and introduce yourself to the class”

‘Oh, crap. Not the introduction ceremony. Wait, is this how all my classes are also gonna be?’ Kerra asks herself, already dreading her turn.

The girl on her right, who she didn’t like said her name was Grace Peets. Arghhh, even the name sucks

She was the next. ‘Alright, you can do this without embarrassing yourself. All you just have to do is say your name and get the s**t moving’ she pep talked herself.

She stands and looks around the class before deciding to just stick to the teacher’s face.

“Umm, my name is Kerra Blot’ she hears a few gasps, arghhh, there goes the name problem again.

Finally the girl on her left stands as she was not even concentrating on whatever has been happening in the class, but it seems like she has been hearing, cause as Kerra takes her seat, she stands to introduce herself as Emma Greenwood. ‘Nice’ Kerra thought.

Just like that the class began and it all went like a breeze to Kerra. Academically, she was not lacking, one thing her mum was always proud of. A straight A student since she can remember starting to learn how to read and answer questions in a paper. This school or its exam would or should not be a problem for her.

All of her other periods went like a breeze before she finally timed out on her bed in the hostel. Still no sign of her room mate. She gets started on arranging all her things and it didn’t take her long. Organization was her thing. She opens up her laptop to check through her mails and for the next 50 minutes she was online replying messages from her side and some related to her mum. Still no sign of her roomie. Weird. She didn’t think she was the type to dance away right after class. Though she has not seen the girl she just has the feeling.

Closing her laptop she decides to take a nap.
