Chapter four: Roomates

Later a servant showed Cedric to his room. “You’ll have a few roommates.” The servant said. Cedric grinned. “Really?” He asked excitedly. She nodded. He opened the door of his room and shut it behind him, thanking the servant. Two boys were in there. One was a boy with dark skin, black shortish long hair, and dark green eyes, and was wearing a white T-shirt and dark blue jeans and had earbuds in and one sitting on one of the top bunks. The other boy had chestnut brown hair and blue eyes and was wearing narrow horn rimmed black glasses, a blue T-shirt and khaki shorts. Cedric’s eyes lit up with delight as he spotted the chestnut haired boy. “OLIVER!!!” He cried and tightly hugged his best friend. Oliver Swan, the son of Elizabeth and Eric who were friends with his father. Finally he released Oliver. Oliver was rather skinny and not as strong as Cedric, so he wheezed a bit after Cedric’s bear hug. “Nice to see you, buddy.” Oliver said shyly, pushing up his glasses. “I had no idea you would be here. I thought you hated school.” Oliver said. Cedric grinned. “I do. It was either this or get grounded for a year.” Cedric replied. Oliver grimaced. “Oof, harsh. That’s Kannon.” He motioned to the boy on top the bunk. Cedric looked up at him. Kannon waved but said nothing. “He’s a mute.” Oliver said. “Then how did you know his name was, Kannon?” Cedric asked. “I understand sign language. In fact I know a lot of languages, Spanish, French, Morse code-” Cedric interrupted him, holding his hand up. “I don’t need to know that. No offense, but there’s a reason why I don’t pay attention in class.” Oliver laughed. Cedric did not. “Wait….you’re serious?” Oliver asked. Cedric grinned and set his suitcase down on a empty bunk. “It’s so hot in here.” Cedric said, walking over to the window. The window was jammed. Cedric looked around, spotted a large heavy book on his bed, grabbed it and casually shattered the window by slamming the book into it. The book fell from the window and landed with a thud on top of something. A person hit the ground unconscious below. Cedric stuck his head out the window and called, “Sorry!”

He shrugged and turned around to see Oliver and Kannon staring at him, mouths agape. “What? I’m sure he’s fine.” Kannon blinked and yanked his earbuds out. “That was the guide to the school. We each got a copy and we’re supposed to study it.” Oliver exclaimed. Cedric shrugged recklessly. Kannon made a few strange motions with his hands. “Kannon asked, how are you going to study?” Oliver said. Cedric shrugged again. “I guess I’ll just wing it.” He replied. Oliver blinked rapidly and Kannon raised his eyebrows in a incredulous expression. Cedric grinned and stuck his head out the window, letting the breeze hit his face.

Rowan walked into her room. The only person in the room was a teenage girl with short, curled honey blonde hair, milky white, unsunburnt, skin and blue colored eyes. She was standing in the middle of the room, watching as a servant unloaded the rest of her possessions. Finally the servant was done and left in a hurry. The girl turned and faced Rowan. “Oh hi! I’m Princess Elayne of the Red phoenixes. And who are you? Are you my servant?” She asked, with a haughty tilt of her head. Rowan blinked. “ I’m Rowan. I think we’re roommates and I’M definitely not your servant. ” Rowan said.

Elayne pursed her lips. “OK….but could you be my servant?” Elayne asked. Rowan scowled at her. “NO!!” She cried. Elayne raised her hands in surrender. “Fine. Whatever…” Rowan unpacked her suitcase and then sat on top of the top bunk, listening to Elayne’s chatter. “So what do you think I should wear tomorrow? A dress or jeans and a blouse?” Elayne asked. Rowan shrugged and felt her elegant hair bun to make sure it was still neat.

Elayne continued talking to herself. “Wearing a dress would be a little too proper for the first day, don’t you think? Now what about the white or the lilac blouse? Huh?” Rowan ignored her and sat back on the bunk and read through a book labeled “The Arks”. “Are you IGNORING ME?!” Elayne asked, dramatically. Rowan didn’t answer. Elayne scowled and tossed her hair. “Fine! Be that way!” Rowan ignored the drama queen. Eventually they went to bed, Rowan slept on the top bunk. It took a while for Elayne to fall asleep(She was ranting about how soft the pillows and mattresses were compared to these “hard blocks of stone beds” at the school)but when she finally did, Rowan sat up for a few more hours, reading. Finally she laid the book aside and laid down. She fell asleep a few seconds later.
