My college dorm room is nothing out of the ordinary. I have my posters from my old room up, covering the beige (and cracked) paint. Sick Puppies flyers, articles ripped out of magazines, and old Polariod photographs from my Anubis days above my bed.
I keep them up there so its like I never left, and my room mates always poke fun at me from keeping them up. I don't care, -and I can't believe I'm about to say this- I miss Anubis and Sibuna more than anything else in the world.
I miss the pin drop, I miss solving mysteries, I miss painting my nails after midnight with my room mates, my best friends. I miss Eddie most of all. Above anything.
God, I sound so different now. I think it was from that dress Cassie and Erin made me put on. I wonder how they're doing…
Speaking of those two, I wonder how my SENIOR friends are doing. You know, the ones I grew up with? I know Alfie and Willow went to the same school together (I still can't get Willow's perky face out of my head when she found out she got her credit out of my head… it scared me,) Mara, Joy, and Fabian are all a half hour away from eachother (prep school suckers,) Jerome stayed at home with his Dad or something, and KT and Eddie… are in America.
And here I am, standing in the dirtiest washroom on the crappiest school campus, on the other side of the world.
I could always call someone, but I don't want to look like I care. I'm Patricia Williamson for god's sake!
I swear I ginxed it, because my laptop started ringing.
Without thinking, I jumped out of the washroom, dropping my hot curler onto the floor. It nearly hit my foot, so I let a little yip out between my lips.
I'm telling you, that pink dress did something to me.
I carelessly hop over dirty clothing on the floor and leap over my bed to my desk. We're not the best at keeping it clean. I mean, I've had Trudy all these years to clean up after me.
Oh god, I think I miss her calling me a "Lovely!" too.
I sit down in my wooden chair and take a look at who was calling me. Unknown long distance. They can do that? Huh. I never knew.
Cautiosly, I opened the call. I gasp and put a hand on my mouth. "Oh my god…"
