Still sorry about all of this lolz...Well I guess Wattpad has been pretty cool...I posted Morning Trance over there but like I never did realize how short some of my chapters were until I had to put two chapters into one~! But I might take it off of Wattpad...I still haven't come up with an idea for an original story...Maybe I'll stick to one-shots? Maybe they'll give me some ideas as to what to do with all this writer's block...How did I become so clogged up?

I tapped my pencil impatiently against the wall as I made my way towards the school gate. School had finally ended but it would only leave me confined in my dorm room. I caught sight of Kara and Evan at the gate and waved at them.
"Took you long enough!" Kara scolded with a big smile on her face. Kara and Evan were so lucky. For them, when the final bell rang, it meant going home and being able to spend time with family. For me it meant I would trudge back to my dorm and stay there for the night—alone.
Mom had begged me to stay. I remember how she pleaded to stay with her. She said we could leave to another state together and we'd find money to work this all out. I refused, telling her that I wouldn't risk bringing her into my own problem. We had decided on a boarding school on the other side of the continent—located in California where there wasn't much going on. Trees and farms were all you'd see for miles on end before you reached the school. It was perfect. What made everything easier was my father's generous handful of drachmas. My mother and I sold a few to a coin collector and received enough money to support the school's tuition. I gave half of the remaining drachmas to my mother and kept the other half for myself. In fact, I had one in my bra at this moment. I had to be safe and I was not going to make another mistake.
I smiled lightly at Kara, "Sorry it's been a rough day." Out of the corner of my eye, Evan ruffled his hair and looked down at the ground. "Hey you okay?" My hand reached out to Evans arm in a caring manner.
He looked up immediately, obviously shocked by my hand on his arm. I rolled my eyes. "Uh yeah," he mumbled. "Look, I'm sorry about today—at lunch. I was stupid to get angry about your personal life. I just want you to know that I'm—"
I cut him off before he could even finish, "Don't worry about it Evan. We're friends and I know you got my back. I'm happy to know that you care at the very least." I gave him a reassuring smile but on the inside I knew I couldn't depend on him. I couldn't depend on anyone but myself at the moment.
"GAH!" An exasperated sigh escaped Kara's lips as she began ruffling her own hair in a stressed manner. "You guys are making me so jealous! Include me in your love too!" Evan and I shared a look as our friend drew her usual conclusions about us having some kind of love connection. I burst out laughing and soon both of my friends followed suit. It felt so good to feel a sense of belonging and security.
"So how's it going?"
I rolled onto my stomach as I positioned the compact mirror on my bed. A blonde girl stared back at me through the compact and shrugged. "There's nothing new really. It's just…" She trailed off, not sure how to finish the sentence.
"Quiet?" I suggested. The blonde nodded and sighed. "What's wrong?" I asked, feeling the conversation start to become awkward. "Amanda?"
The blonde perked up at her name and laughed, "I'm sorry. You look really different! I'm sorta adjusting to all of it." She tilted her head, "Blonde? Really?" I snorted.
"Blonde is a common hair color. It only makes sense to blend in with the crowd. Don't you agree? It's these damned contacts that are annoying me!" I ranted, rubbing at my eyes. "5 months and I still can't get used to them. They're always drying up so fast!" Amanda smirked at me through the mirror. Suddenly, she screamed and I watched as her compact fell to the floor. I could hear the faint yelling of two people. I kept quiet, not sure who it was on the other end.
"Chrys? Chrys, are you there?" A familiar voice echoed through my room and I shifted uncomfortably. "It's Samantha now." I droned. The other voice chuckled.
"You look different…" I nodded and jumped back as his face came into view. Auden.
"You too," I mumbled. He looked good. Really good. He let his black hair grow out and I wasn't surprised to find his brown eyes still twinkling with excitement. "Summer's been all too kind to you, I see." I smirked, knowing the compliment would only boost his ego. "How is he?" I asked in a shushed whisper.
He smiled back at me sadly. "He's….Adjusting well I guess you could say." He chuckled, "Going crazy actually. But you'd be happy to know that he's distracting himself with Sword and Shield. Getting better and better every day." I grinned back and thought back to the days when we'd spar with each other. Those were the good days, I thought.
"Auden I miss you so much. I wish you could be here with me. I really—" I heard the door knob turning and I immediately jumped up from my bed.
"Chrys? Chrys? You there? What's going—" I closed the compact just in time. The door opened to reveal a short girl sauntering into my room with several suitcases following behind her.
She looked at me with raised eyebrows, "Am I interrupting something? I heard voices…" She looked around the room suspiciously before landing her eyes back on me.
I shook my head quickly, "No! I was just…." Think quickly! I scolded myself.
"I was just practicing for drama class." I plastered a fake smile onto my face quickly. The girl narrowed her eyes at me before shrugging and gesturing towards her luggage.
"Mind helping me with my stuff?" I nodded and ran to lug the suitcases into our room. "I'm Sandra Wood by the way. The office told me you were the only one with an empty bunk so I'm sorry for intruding all so suddenly."
My eyes examined the girl. She was pretty—definitely. Her hair was a nice caramel color that stopped short around her chin. Her eyes were rather big like doe-eyes but it made her look innocent. She probably used that to her benefit, I snorted. She looked over at me, her eyes narrowed once again. I apologized and she continued to organize her clothes in the closet that was assigned to her side of the room.
Just my luck to be stuck with a roommate, I snorted. I just started getting used to being alone.
So how was that everyone? Good? Horrible? Or possibly just boring? Well either way thank you for reading and please stay tune for the next chapter~! Thank you so very much and I am very excited to hear some comments from you folks.
