I finally found Iriswell Academy. I've heard of it, but I had never seen it in person before now. I parked and couldn't help but stare at how big the place was. It's like a castle. Yet, I don't feel like a princess. I feel out of place and alone. Most of the time I'm perfectly fine being alone, but not now. I can't even find where I'm supposed to be rooming. Oh, and of course I have a roommate. Usually I like having someone to talk to, but often they don't like me being there.
I went to a summer camp once and all the girls in my cabin were awful. They hated my guts. That was the worst, but not the only time I had issues with rooming with someone. There have been other times when the girls would just ignore me. But at that camp, they tortured me. And it was because I liked things 'for boys' like dark music and clothes, video games, long boarding, that kind of thing. Plus, I was only twelve!
Well, this is it. The room I will be spending the rest of the school year in is right in front of me. All I can do now is pray that I get along with whoever is also assigned to this room.
I looked up at the building in front of me, down at the address scribbled on the paper in my hand, and back up at the building. Taking off my hood, I whistled, picked up my skateboard and headed inside. This is my going to be home for the next nine months, so I might as well find my room. Walking up to the door, I had no idea what would be on the other side, but I could only hope for the best.
Slowly opening the door, I poked my head in. There were a few things already set up, but I can't quite tell what they are. "Hello?" I call with a voice I've been told is quite deep. I walk in, looking for the owner of the items in the room. "Any body home?" I ask, taking my bag off my shoulder and placing it on the empty bed. My skateboard stays in my hand, like always, because it's more important to me than my phone.
