Chapter Thirty-Eight

“Jessie, why didn’t you tell me something was wrong?” Misty asked the sleeping girl, “Why didn’t you come to me?” She buried her face in Jessica’s shirt and let out a small sob, “Why?”

“Misty?” Amy lightly set a hand upon the girl’s back, “Did you notice anything unusual about Jessica’s behaviour this morning?”

Misty lifted her head and shook it, “Not at first.” Misty replied, gazing at Jessica affectionately, “Last week she was fine, but recently she seemed more depressed and then she started hanging around with those new girls and I’ve not seen her much since then. Today was the first time I got to talk to her in a while.”

“Did she say anything?” Amy probed, “Anything at all?”

Misty shook her head, “She did seem more down then usual.” She explained, “She took off pretty quickly after...” She lightly flushed.

Amy shook her head in dismay and patted the girl’s head, “You don’t need to explain more.” She turned to glance down at the redheads, “I just wish I knew what those two are up against. I feel so helpless just standing around here.”

Just then the doors of the lobby opened and Natalie entered with a couple of boxes in hand, “Could someone help me?” She hollered as she struggled with the door.

“Sure thing.” Amy got to her feet and rushed over to hold the door for Natalie when she noticed Tanya and Cherilyn through the doors windows caring more boxes and stuffed backpacks slung over their arms, “Misty could you help, please?” She requested.

“Sure.” Misty quickly hurried over to Natalie, “Hey Natalie, Let me take those.” She offered, taking the top most boxes that were obstruction Natalie’s view.

“Thanks, Misty!” Natalie said grateful to be removed of some of her load.

“More new recruits?” Misty inquired scanning Tanya and Cherilyn as they pushed through the doors.

“East Wing transfers.” Natalie explained with a huff as she dropped the boxes on the floor near the stair then took the box from Misty.

“East Wingers, hmmmm...” Misty examined the two girls as they placed their load next to Natalie’s, “And cute ones too. I’m Misty, welcome to hotel hell.”

Amy let the door close, “Misty don’t tease them.” She warned, “This place is far from hell.”

“Sorry Amy.” Misty apologized, “Welcome all the same.”

Cherilyn blushed as she dropped a duffle bag of clothes to the ground and stared at the girl in astonishment. Her eyes scanning over Misty’s short skirt and tight blouse, noticing that only the two buttons in the middle was fastened revealing her tight stomach and breasts. Her clothes gave very little to the imagination showing the world her rather feminine, yet built, frame to anyone who dared to look. Never had Cherilyn seem anyone dress the way this girl did. Most of the East Wing girls that Cherilyn knew were self-conscious of their body in one way or another and tended to cover up in loose fitting clothes. Misty’s fashion left Cherilyn lost for word.

Tanya noticed the way her girlfriend was staring at Misty and rolled her eyes, “You act like you’ve never seen a pretty girl before.” Tanya remarked crossly, giving Cherilyn a nudge, then flashed a quick smile to Misty, “Sorry for my girlfriend’s rudeness.” She stressed the word ‘girlfriend’ as she spoke, “I’m Tanya and the gawker would be Cherilyn.” She introduced.

“I’m not gawking!” Cherilyn protested, “I was just... just...”

Natalie let out a laugh and patted Cherilyn on the back, “You’d better be careful or you are going to be in the dog house very quickly.” She stated with a grin.

“So you two are a couple then?” Misty inquired, glancing between the two girls.

“You could say that.” Tanya stated, giving Cherilyn a glare, “Am I right, Cherilyn?”

Cherilyn’s blush brightened, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to stare.”

Natalie shook her head as she walked away, “First day here and you are already in trouble.” She remarked with a chuckle.

“Don’t worry Tanya.” Misty said with a warm smile, “I will not chase your girl. Promise.” She raised her hand in a salute, “Girl Guild’s honour.”

“You didn’t eat any of the Brownies, did you?” Tanya inquired sceptically.

Now it was Misty’s turn to blush, “Never!!” She protested then saw Tanya smile, “Oh you... So that is how you play things.” She returned the smile and shook her head then glanced at Cherilyn, “You better keep an eye on that one. The Western Dorm have been know to do things to the girl’s here and it seems she has already been effected.”

Now Cherilyn was glaring at Tanya, “I can see that.” She replied irately.

“Girls!” Amy interrupted them, “Please, try not to argue.”

“Just playing Amy.” Misty remarked, “I’m harmless.”

Amy rubbed her forehead, “If you are harmless then I hate to met the dangerous ones.”

“She’s right there.” Natalie pointed at Jessica, and then glanced down at the redheads, “So they really did jump into their dreams.” She remarked as she knelt next to the girls, “I hope they know what they are doing...”

“They are tough.” Alyson replied, “They will make it back.”

“What makes you so sure of them all of a sudden?” Natalie inquired sceptically.

“I looked into their heart.” Alyson stated with a smile, “I’m sorry I fought with Kima. She isn’t all that bad after all.”

Natalie smiled, “Good to hear you’ve changed your mind about her.”

Amy glanced around the room, “Where is Kris?” She inquired.

“She went after them.” Tanya explained miserably, “With her sister. They said someone named Carey was involved.”

Amy sank heavy into a nearby chair, “Carey? Oh god this is worse then I though.” She remarked in dismally. “I prey the lords will protect them because they will need every ounce of help then can get.”
