Chapter 1
"Mmmm..." Ectra moaned as she was sleeping.
She was a lazy 17 year old girl who's life was going to change that day.
The sun as very bright that morning and her room was very lit up.
She yawned and started stretching her arms and was going to go back to sleep when there was a knock on the door.
"Get up Ectra, it's already nine," a motherly voice said.
Ectra popped her eyes open and screamed,
"You woke me up at nine?" She started sitting up but the sun was so bright it shone in her eyes and made her fall off her bed back first,
screaming, on the way down. She landed on her head.
Her white pillow was on her face and her pink duvet was lying across her awkwardly shaped body.
"Stupid woman..." she groaned, "I guess i needa move now."
She sighed and threw her duvet and pillow onto her bed and pulled herself up. She was wearing pink shorts and a white vest top.
She scratched her short, jet black hair and walked over to her mirror hanging on her wardrobe. She rubbed her big green eyes and slumped over to the large
window to the left of her room and put her hand on it.
"One year i've been here..." she said and dropped her head in shame,
"Still no blinds,"she said sobbingly.
She strolled over to her door and picked up a small key sitting on her bed side table.
"That letter better be in," she said to herself a she stepped out of her room into the plain cream hall. It had about 20 door in it and a
flight of stairs at the end. Ectra's dorm was beside the stairs.
She locked her door and put her key in her pocket. Everyone else had started coming out from their dorms too.
"Shizumi wake yous up too?" she shouted down the hallway. Many of them looked up and nodded agreeingly and tiredly.
She turned to go down the stair when a tall, attractive boy with blonde spiked hair and dazzling blue eyes wearing a grey sleeveless top and baggy navy bottoms walked up to her and said hi, then they started walking down the stairs together.
"Hey Ryan" she said.
"Hey, have you got your letter yet?" He asked. Ectra looked up and swifted her head from side to side.
"I applied ages ago, wasn't my application good enough? I know it was better than yours!" She laughed pointing up with her thumb, looking at him. He just laughed and put his ar arond her shoulder.
"You just keep telling yourself that at night," he laughed.
He then brought his cheek down to Ectra's cheek and said,
"Remember, water always beats fire."
She just smiled and said,
"YOU just keep telling yourself that at night!" and gave him a cheeky grin and walked on down the stairs.
"Bye sweetheart!" He shouted down the stairs.
"In our dreams!" she screamed back up.
At the bottom of the stairs she ran over to the reception desk and started talking to an old woman who had her back to Ectra.
"Shizumi, did my letter come in?" she asked.
"Yes it did dear, it's right...here." she pulled out a letter from the desk.
She turned round to hand it to her.
"One year you've been waiting for that letter, eh Ectra?"
