Well, I am back to school now with a full load of work, school, church, and just life in general; but I wouldn’t trade it for anything! We are also busy this weekend with singing at a revival. I don’t know if our listeners are enjoying as much as we are but it has been fun. I wanted to take a moment today to catch up with y’all and give you what I have written since the last post.
Also the votes are in!! It looks like 80% of my viewers consider themselves to be happy. That is something we need more of in our world! Before leaving don’t forget to participate in the new poll bellow.
Miss Lydia instructed Victoria about her classes and where her room would be. Unlike most schools she had attended, the dorms were in a building behind the actual school. The two buildings were made of an identical brick pattern and Victoria felt like she was having a deja vu moment when she entered the large iron door to the dorms. There was one large hall with doors on both sides, but nothing else occupied the hall which provided a dreary first impression. She made her way down the hall looking from door to door only to reach the end with no luck in finding room thirty-two. There was one remaining door but no number was attached.
“I believe Miss Lydia forgot to mention one little detail to you.” Victoria zipped around, startled by the sudden appearance of the girl who had just exited room twenty. Victoria accepted the warm hand shake she offered while the girl introduced herself. “My name is Marie and you must be new here.” Her tone was kind but something in her the way she said that statement made Victoria feel a little uneasy. “What room are you looking for?”
Victoria did not overlook the fact that Marie had not requested her name, but decided that she could introduce herself later. “Room thirty-two but it seems as though it does not exist.” Marie smiled a knowing smile, “Well, the girls are all sectioned off by grade. This hall is the freshman hall; the next hall, the junior hall is directly through that door.” she pointed at the numberless door behind Victoria. “Adjoining that hall is the senior hall.” Marie followed Victoria into the junior hall and helped to locate her room, but before Victoria opened the door Marie grabbed her arm. Marie’s voice dropped to a whisper and she moved as close to Victoria as was possible. “I just want to warn you that your roommate is…well… let’s just say, she is a little difficult to get along with. I would be careful if I were you.” She was gone before Victoria could ask any questions. The feeling of being in a new place with strangers overwhelmed her and she felt like calling her mother to beg to go home; however, she took a deep breath and entered the room. There were no occupants at the time but she could still feel the Goosebumps on her arms from the chilling warning Marie had given her. Two beds set at opposite end of the room which was not saying much since the room was only half the size of her room back at the ranch.
