Dark Haven Academy

A penny for your thoughts

keep your head, heels and standards high

Rather than returning to my empty room, I took a quick detour to see Eleanor hoping for some comfort or any signs of normality here. I was greeted with the sound of giggling girls and loud music whilst three girls danced about like around the room like it was a casual Saturday night at a rundown club in Vegas.

Alexis was the first to notice me slouched on a chair at helping myself to the scrummy deliciousness of junk food. But, with the music down and my presence noticed, there was nowhere to hide as they all rushed over to probe and pinch at my new uniform and appearance.

"what about Wyatt?” Alexis says flopping down on the bed.

“Wyatt?” I ask confused. Then it slowly dawns on me who Wyatt is.

“You know? Lanky load of perfection?” Alexis continues whilst Eleanor rolls her eyes.

“Yeah he was cute.” I say nonchalantly but Alexis isn’t listening anymore, her hugs were laced with glee and even Roxy cracked a smile at her friends’ behaviour.

“Most girls would normally throw themselves at Wyatt thinking they can have a good fling with him cause he’s got that hot playboy look to him." Roxy explained patting me on the back.

"That’s partially why headmistress let’s him stay round here, keeps the ladies in check", Eleanor finished clearly uninterested in their little fan girl hype.

"I passed because i was far too shy." Roxy stated quietly, I’m guessing this had always been her nature.

"I already figured out what my assessment was so." Eleanor said in her usual smart ass way.

"I may or may not have known where he lived before the test."Alexis said confirming her title as a renowned gossip.

"Well okay then, stalker much.” Eleanor said as Alexis playfully shoved her.

He’s used to being called dashing, and handsome and charming," Alexis droned on and on and at this point we’d all just blanked her out.

"Well that’s his problem. How come you guys aren't in lessons?" I asked wondering if i could just casually skip any lessons i didn't like.

"We’re on free period right now but we've got Laws and regulations next, you?" Alexis asked as she compared her schedule to mine.

"I have Laws and Regulation next too but with a different teacher." I said groaning.  I was going to be alone and awkward and unsure of what to say.

"Well here's a tip for you regarding Miss Mellor, whatever happens, just follow her instructions first time round. It’s for your own good." she said looking at me pitifully. From past experiences, I was 100% sure I would end up in trouble for something I didn’t do but that would all change.
