Chapter One

Cambry's POV:

"Cambry, get up, we're almost late for class," My roommate, Tara says.

"Just leave me alone," I complain while rolling over and cuddling into my bed.

"I will not, you are 17 and if you skip, your parents aren't going to let you leave," She says while pulling the blankets off of my body. "Also, the mistress will come in here and throw a fit in the next ten minutes," She says, and I immediately get up. The mistress is the bitchiest, bossiest woman here... of course, she is, I mean, she does own a school full of girls, I actually feel bad for her.

"I'm up," I told her while throwing on my uniform which included a red plaid skirt, black heels, a white shirt, a red tie, a grey jacket, and grey knee-high socks.

Trust me, I've tried changing it up, I got dress coded and sent back to my room for disturbance of others and the ruining of an outfit.

"Are we ready here, girls?" The bitch herself comes into our dorm.

"Yes, Mrs. Dormin," Me and Tara say together while standing at the end of our made beds.

"That's good, dears," She says, walking around our clean room and checking it. She's always making sure we keep our rooms clean, and if we aren't dressed with our beds made by the time she gets to our room, we both have to stay in the room until the room is fully cleaned. "You may go," She says while walking out of our room.

"Thank you, Tar," I told her.

"You know. I don't want you to leave, I mean, you've been here for five years and I will miss you," She says as we make our way to Science.

"I'll miss you too, that is if my parents even want me to visit this year," I tell her while we walk into our first class.

"Where do you live again?" She asks.

"Australia," I tell her.

"Where in Australia?" She asks.

"I live in Tasmania," I tell her.

"I want to visit," She says while we sit down in our seats which are right next to each other.

"Ms. Jaxon, Ms. Maine, I see you brought your chatter into class with you again-" Mr. Winchester says, causing a few people to snicker at us.

"Sorry, Mr. Winchester," Tara and I apologize.

"May I suggest leaving it in your dorm room next time?" He asks.

"Yes, Mr. Winchester," We say.

---"I can't believe he called us out again," I complained as we walked to our second period.

"I know, he's such an asshole," Tara says.

"We don't allow that kind of language here, Ms. Maine," Ms. Julie says as she walks past us.

"Sorry, Ms. Julie," Tara says.

"All these teachers hate us," I say while we walk into our Math class.

"Except this one, Ms. Callin loves us for unknown reasons," Tara says.

"So true," I say.

"Nice to see you today, Tara and Cambry," Ms. Callin says as she gives us a sweet smile.

"You too," We say while giving her a smile back. When the late bell rings, Ms. Callin begins her period by writing our bellwork on the board.

"As you begin, think about this important question," She pauses. "What happens when we have a plus and minus sign in front of the square root sign?" She says.

******When lunch finally came, I made my way to the dining hall and sat at the table that I was assigned. When we first got here, we were told to sit at a certain table depending on where our dorms were located, mine and Tara's room was located in wing B, meaning we sit at table 8, yes, they name their tables.

"Hey," Tara waves at me as I walk into the dining hall.

"Hey," I say back as I approach the table. "I'm so happy it's finally lunch," I say as I sit down."I know right, I was almost about to starve," She said.---When all the girls were in the dining hall, the teachers and staff started handing out plates of food.

"Thank you, everyone," The mistress says as all the girls wait to eat after getting their food. "Now that we all have our food-" The Mistress gets cut off by this infuriating, annoying, bitch: Tanya Reeds. She thinks that she is the queen of the school just because she's the daughter of the Mistress.

"Mother, I didn't get food," She complains.

"Alright darling, it's coming," Mrs. Dorman says as she gets after one of the teachers for skipping her daughter.

"Here you go, dear, sorry about that," Mr. Jaquel apologizes as he hands her a plate of food.

"Just don't forget about me next time or else mother will fire you," She says, she's such a bratty rich girl. I mean, all of our parents have plenty of money, that's one of the reasons they sent us here, but she's the brattiest. She and her two minions: Gracie Mitchell and Hailey Richards.

"Now that we all have our food-" Mrs. Dorman glares at her daughter. "We may all bless our own food," She says while sitting at her own chair which was on a table with all of the faculty members. Once she sat down, we all bowed our heads and blessed our food silently.

---

When we were all finished, the mistress told us to start eating.

"So how was your fifth period without me?" Tara asks as she starts eating her meatloaf.

"Boring. What makes it worse is that Tanya was in my class, she wouldn't stop acting like a-" I cut myself off as soon as I heard a different conversation starting on our table. Brinn, Gwen, and Maisley.

"I can not believe that," Gwen responded.

"What?" I butt into their conversation.

"Brinn saw Jacob and Tanya together out back last night during lights out," Maisley says.

"No way," I say, surprised. I'm shocked because she sleeps in the same room as her mother. So how did she sneak out?

"Yeah, and I heard that she made up an excuse to get out of the room,'' another girl named Jamika says. She and her parents are from Africa, but they moved when Jamika turned 4.

"Ooh, do you know if the Mistress knows about her and Jacob?" I ask, really liking this tea. If you haven't already noticed, everyone hates Tanya. Well except for her minions, she keeps them on an invisible leash, I assume.

"Hey, are you guys going to meet us at our spot?" Brinn asks.

"Duh," We all say.

"What time?" Jamika asks.

"Let's make it 8:30 tonight," Gwen says.

"That's thirty minutes past lights out," I tell her.

"And?" They all ask while looking at me.

"I was just saying," I shrug my shoulders. "Let's do it," I say and they all scream excitedly. I would explain what 'our spot' is, but- you'll find out eventually.
