Cassie signed the paper that was sitting on the registration desk in front of her. Signing that paper indicated that she was aware of the fact that she was joining Welbrooke Academy's student body. Welbrooke was a large private school for girls that sat on a cliff just above the ocean in Miami, Florida.
Once Cassie had signed the paper and completed all of the registration papers and contracts, she followed a woman to where her room would be. Cassie's bags were already there because her mother had sent them ahead of time.
There were two other girls in Cassie's room. The woman said that they were her room mates. Then she smiled gently and left. There were only three beds in the room and the other two girls had already chosen their beds, so Cassie didn't have much of a choice. She plopped down on her bed and lay down on it. Cassie carefully examined her new roommates. One of the girls had long and straight blond hair and dark blue eyes. She seemed to have a perky attitude. The other girl had medium length and straight black hair and emerald eyes. The black-haired girl was flipping through a magazine. Her bed was on the other side of the room and was a single bed. Cassie couldn't see what the blond-haired girl was doing because her bed was on top of Cassie's.
The blond-haired girl leaned over the edge of her bed so that she was upside-down and Cassie could see her face.
"Hi! I'm Ella and that's Sam!" she said.
"I'm Cassie," said Cassie.
"You seem nice," said Ella. "I can tell that we're gonna be great friends!"
"That depends," said Cassie. "Are you or have you ever been pregnant, have a criminal record, and/or carry various weapons with you?"
"Nope," said Ella.
"Not last I checked," said Sam.
"Good, then you check-out okay with my mom," said Cassie.
"Is she strict?" asked Sam as she sat next to Cassie on her bed.
"My mom is so strict that she has *reinvented* and *misused* the word 'strict'," said Cassie. The girls laughed.
"My mom is barely ever home!" said Ella. "She's always on some movie set or doing some commercial."
"I guess that my mom's okay," said Sam. "But her sister lives with us and they're always fighting about some stupid thing."
"Moms, there's just no controlling them," said Cassie. The girls laughed again.
"Attention, students," said a voice over the intercom. "Uniform pick-up will be in ten minutes in the cafeteria."
"Ugh, uniforms," said Ella.
"They suck, right?" said Sam.
"They are *beyond* 'suck'," said Ella. "How is a maturing girl supposed to express herself in a *uniform*?"
"I do not know," said Sam.
"Eh, I'm used to it," said Cassie. "All of my clothes are like uniforms to me. Living with my mother is more of boarding school than boarding school is. At home, it's more like military school." Sam looked at her watch.
"Uniform pick-up is in two minutes," she said. "We better leave now so we don't have to wait in line."
"Good plan," said Ella. "Even though I'd rather be last to have to wear one of those stupid uniforms..."
"Let's just go," said Cassie. The three girls walked out of the room together and to the cafeteria.
