Demeter glanced out of the window of the car, nudging her twin, R.J in the ribs.

"Look, this is it." she said, pointing to the group of buildings that had come up before them. They were classy and modern, just her style.

"Keen observation of the obvious, Demi." Her brother said, rolling his eyes and adjusting the awkwardly situated book bag between his feet. He looked to the front of the car at his step mother and father.

"Ready to go, guys?" Jensie, their stepmother asked. They considered her more of a mother than their biological one, and she loved them in the same manner.

"Yeah, mom." Demi said, smirking. "Let' R this B like an MF." she said, chuckling. Her parents didn't get it of course, but R.J, who was aware of his sisters weird sayings laughed along with her.

"Now I want you to behave, got that?" their father, Ulrich asked with a mock serious tone. He was playful and really did want the best for his only children, but he knew they could take care of each other well.

"Sure, dad." R.J replied. He adjusted the book bag once more before giving up and leaning back in his seat. As they pulled into the drop off area, he sighed. He was worried, though of course the only one who knew that was Demi.

"Here we are, then." Jensie said, the tears forming in her eyes already. Demi, too. The two hugged as Ulrich took all of the suitcases from the trunk of the car and put them on the ground.

"It's a sad day when you see your kids go off to prep school." Ulrich said, hugging both of his children. Demi smiled and R.J grinned as they watched their parents pull away and drive off back home.

"Ready, R.J?" Demi asked, hoisting her bag onto her shoulder and puling out the handle of her green rolling suitcase.

"I was born ready." He replied, doing the same. He walked a few step ahead and then turned back to his sister. "Well? Aren't you coming?" he asked.

"Do you even know where you're going?" she asked, the smirk still in place. She pulled a folded white sheet of paper from her jeans and waved it in front of her. R.J frowned slightly.

"Well, come on then. You lead the way." he waited for her to catch up and they walked down the pavement and into the first building.

"I live first floor, room 103, south wing. You?" Demi said, looking first at her paper, then at the signs in the corridor. As he pulled out his matching paper, she glanced down the hall, spotting a girl that looked about her age.

"Hey, you with the big hair!" she called down the hall, eliciting a poke in the rib by her brother.

"Don't be rude." he whispered to her, looking at her knowingly.

"Whatever," she said, heading over to the girl, despite her brothers protests. "Hey, do you know where you're going, because I don't and i could really use some help." she said in the kindest voice she could muster.

Kristina was hanging a Pillar poster on the wall above her bed when she felt her phone vibrate. She pulled it out of her pocket and read the text message. It was from Xander, her best friend.

' you done unpacking yet? I'm down in the Chem Lab and I think I made a new acid!'

Kris laughed to herself before texting a response, 'no not yet. Maybe I'll meet you down there later.' She hit the send button and finished hanging the poster.

She jumped off the bed and fixed the gray and white plush comforter on her bed. She'd arrived at the school two days before and her room was finally starting to look livable. She walked over to the window and sat in the window seat as she looked outside. There were lots more students arriving today then the previous days.

Kris sighed and figured she should probably go and meet Xander. He was her only friend since she'd moved into town, and she certainly didn't want to lose the only friend she had. Kris was no stranger to being the new girl, she just hoped that her dad wouldn't make her move again before she could even finish a school term.

She pulled a pair of dark denim jeans out of a drawer and put them on before changing out of her oversized t-shirt and into a black off the shoulder shirt. She grabbed her black satchel bag, slipped on a pair of black and silver flats before heading for the door and into the hallway.

"Meet my twin, Rowan James. Rowan James, say hi." Demi joked, pulling her brother up to her side. He smirked at her as she did so; it was always like this when they met new people.

"Rowan James, but you can call me R.J. This is Demeter. Demeter, say hi." He said back, ruffling her hair as a father would do to his small son. Demi just smiled and stuck out her hand.

"Demi. Nice to meet you Ev." she looked past her towards the bridge. "So over the river and through the woods? Feels like i'm going to grandmas house." she smirked once more and hoisted her bag from where it had slipped on her shoulder.

OOC:-((Oops! I posted twice...>_<u but this won't happen again-sorry!)) .

Evanthe giggled a little at her joke. "Ditto, it does look awesome, this school if very different from the last one I was at." she told her, then she started to walk over to the bridge. "Hey, what dorm are you in? Mine is number 101," she said, wanting to continue the conversation.

Kris pulled a map of the school out of her jeans pocket. Two days of exploring and she still didn't know where everthing was. She located the chem lab on the first floor in the north side of the building and started heading in that direction.

Xander started mixing a green salve in a bieker before taking an eyedropper and adding in a clear substance. Slowly the green faded into a purplish color and then the whole thing turned clear. He smiled and smelled the contents.

"Perfect," he said and poured the liquid into a storage container which he placed in the lab's refridgerator. He pulled his phone out and texted Kris, 'new concoction that should help stimulate the brain into learning faster!' he hit send, grabbed his bag, and headed into the hallway and began walking toward Kris' room. Maybe she'd want to have lunch with him.

"First Floor, room 103, south wing." Demi replied from memory. She clapped her hands. "Cool, I have a dorm mate!" She linked her free arm together with Evanthe's.

"Be off now, R.J. The girls have to go put their things away." she waggled her fingers at him and watched as he adjusted his grip on his suitcase.

"Whatever, Demi," R.J said rolling his eyes and turning in the other direction. "Where do you want to meet?" he asked.

Demi scrunched her eyebrows. "Well I don't know. We just got here." She looked at Evanthe. "Do you know a place, Ev?"

Taking slow, step by step the small figured male walked up the stairs into the large..oversized prep school.

Letting out a sudden sigh he gripped the large bag in his right hand, and the guitar case in his left. There was no possible way he was getting a piano into the school by himself, or maybe they wouldn't even allow it?
Jake didn't really care anymore, this prep school was one of his last chances at a semi-normal life. Swiping his hair to the side by a flick of the neck he looked at the back of his hand, which he scribbled the dorm number on with a black sharpie.
" Where..in the world.."He looked around desperatly with sweat forming, scared? Already!? Jake slouched his shoulders taking a few more steps forward.
Off in the distance he heard chatter. What could it hurt to ask? Raising his head, Jake began to walk towards the chatter, spotting a small group of people.
Letting on a smirk he made a small jog over before they decided to disband " uhm! Excuse me!" He called out stopping mid-stride
" Could someone..tell me..where.." He looked at the back of his hand once agian and nodded " Room 201 is..?"
Jake's arms suddenly felt weak, so he set the guitar case down, but stupid him, he set it down on the clasp. The case shot open and the slender black acoustic guitar fell from it's safe zone and onto the group forcing one of the strings to pop.
" Dammit.." He spoke under his breath, setting his other bag onto the floor, the boy leaned over and picked up the guitar stairing at the broken string. Lucky for him he brought tons of spares incase a thing like this would happen.-

R.J cast a sideways glance at the boy who'd just joined their group. He was pretty interesting looking, to say the least. He nodded, knowing that he felt the same way.

"I'm going there now," he said, motioning his head in the other direction. Looking at his sister with a look she knew better than anyone, he said, "Demi, just meet me in the park. I brought a Frisbee." he adjusted his bag for the last time and started to walk. As they made it to the other side of the hall, he stuck out his hand.

"Rowan James, but you can call me R.J." he said, a smirk firmly in place.

Jakes innocent eyes turned to the other male and he nodded " oh yeah?" A spark of excitement began to course through his body.
A roomate! If he was alone, he would most likely doing back flips off the wall.

Bending down once agian Jake slipped the guitar back into it's case and clapsed it shut. Grabbing the guitar, and his other bag he followed the other male looking around the school's halls as they passed through them " It's a little over done.." He spoke loudly and then he blushed meaning to keep that thought locked deep inside his head.

As the other male stopped, Jake was a little startled. Raising a brow he nodded to the males words "..I'm Jake!, Jake Ravenloft..." Jakes eyes wondered to the males hands and he quickly set down his bag and took ahold of R.J's hand with a light grip and shook it.
"Nice to meet you." Jake put simply with a child's smile.

"Nice to meet you, too." R.J. said. He started his walk again and observed the hall he was in. "I would have to agree. It is a bit overdone." He like the building of course, but it was too much.

"My old school had 'Ye old gray walls protecting'. This is definitely different." he shook his head and smiled as he remembered his old prep school. "I'm glad to have a roommate though. Gives this whole thing a brighter outlook, wouldn't you say?"

Jake let out a girl-like giggle and nodded " Yeah..my highschool had..vomit colored walls and blue linolium floors..almost like a hospital."
A shiver ran down Jake's spike as he thought of his old school, and the hospital. It had been awhile since he had though of those places, but..it seemed to bring peace to his uncertain and confused mind.

Jake's attention was once agian drawn to R.J's booming voice "..Yeah, it's nice to have someone to bunk with, I think I'd get scared sitting in a room by myself at night!" Jake said letting on a coy smile. As he followed R.J down the hallway, he stared at his feet, noticing his white shoe string was dragging along the ground, no londer white.

"Vomit colored, that sounds interesting." R.J laughed. Of course he had seen worse when Demi had gotten sick that one time, and hey had to go... Nevermind.

"Scared? That's the least I'm worried about." he smirked. "Believe it or not, I have this crazy fear of ghosts." he confessed, a shiver running down his spine. As they made it to the door marked 201, he slowed.

"Well, here we are," he said, just a little apprehensive. He looked to Jake, hoping that he was just as nervous. "Here goes nothing." with that, he turned the nob to the door and walked into the room.

" Gosuto?" Jake commented stopping at the door when R.J did.
Jake wasn't nearly as nervous as he was at this moment. This would be his new home for awhile. His stomach was clenching, and he felt like his heart was pounding in his throat. Boom,boom,boom. The sound just got louder.
Randomly thoughts came racing into his mind. 'Was R.J trying to mock him?, Was he really afraid of ghost?, Will Jake survive it here?! When R.J opened the door everything went blank, his mind, his expression.
" ...Whoa.." Was all Jake could say, as he followed R.J into the room. The room was just as over done as the rest of the place had been.

As R.J walked in, he could see that the room was just as done up as the rest of the school. There was a large bunk set and two desks, placed side by side.

"Whoa would be the correct word." he walked all the way in and placed his bags near the desks. There were four large windows with plain white curtains, and the walls were painted a wispy sky blue. He ran his hands along the edge of the window sill and opened the curtain. Down below was a park with people in it; some eating lunch, some playing Frisbee.

"I'm meeting my sister Demeter down there, do you want to come?" he asked hoping he would. It would do to make a friend here, and starting with his roommate would be the best idea. "After we've finished unpacking of course."

Jake looked away, his breath almost stolen from his body.The room was amazing, it had been the most fancy thing he had seen EVER!
Placing his bags carefully onto the ground, he let on dumb smile and waddled over to the window looking down at all the people "..It's huge.." He spoke under his breath. Jake jumped as R.J began to speak once agian " Oh! Uhm.." He paused and looked at his watch.
Almost time, he thought to himself. "...it couldn't hurt!" he smiled once agian and walked over to his stuff opening the big dufle bag he was carring around. Unzipping the main part he pulled out a large stack of neatly folded clothes and set them to the side. He reached into the bag once agian and pulled out a rather large stack of sheet music and note books.
"...Now where did I put it?" Huffing he almost dove into the bag, which engulfed his upper half, searching around " AhA!" He spoke and emerged from the bag holding a small brown bag "...Strings!" He said in a sing-song kinda voice.

Grabbing his guitar case, he pulled the heavy load over to his small body and opened it looking down at the guitar. He didn't realize it before, but he felt empty, and depressed staring down at what use to be his dad.-

R.J smiled as he heard the answer. He turned to face Jake and was impressed to see the guitar again. "Nice. Very Nice." he picked up his things and tossed them on the top bunk. "Do you mind if I take the top?" he said. He climbed the little ladder and started to empty his bag. He pulled out his laptop (courtesy of Jensie, of course), and flipped open the screen, smirking at the Hellboy wallpaper that appeared first. This reminded him of the stash of movies he smuggled from their collection as he was packing, and he pulled them from under the rest of the things in his bag.

"I've got some movies. We can watch some later, as a christening for this room." he smirked.

Jake stood up hugging the guitar to his body. "..Oh, go ahead, I like the bottom.." Nodding a bit Jake sat on the bed with his guitar and the strings. Reaching up to the head of the guitar, he began to twist the knob letting the string fall from it. Tossing the broken string onto the bed he reached towards the bottom of the guitar and pulled out the rest of the string, also tossing it aside.
" lets see...that was E..." He opened the brown bag and pulled out a thin silver string, stringing it from the bottom, he pulled the string to the top, sliding the end into the small hole that was running through the knob. Jake turned the knob tighting the string.
" I'll re-tune it later.." Standing up he picked all his clothes off the ground and walked to the small dresser at the side of the room and shoved his clothes into the first drawer.
" Movies?, I love movies.." He snickered to himself " That sounds great."
In his mind, things were going..way to good to be real, he had to be dreaming or something!

( Sorry it took so long to respond, I had to run home for something )
