The Masque Of GreenBay Academy - Anchik (open ebook .txt) 📗

<NE<font;12pt>
GreenBay Academy was going to have masque, and the person in change? Me. I'm not in the student council nor am I in any committee, which makes this very unfair. I mean of all the members that volunteered for this, only about 5 are actually working. And i feel completely ridicules because I'm the only person thats not really supposed to be working in it!

"Fiana." i turned around to face the person that called me. It was Marie, a member of the student council. "Yeah." i said putting down my needle. "I was wondering if I can take the rest of the day off." she said playing with a strand of loose hair. I looked to the door and saw her boyfriend waiting impatiently. I smiled. "Sure. Go ahead." she thanked me and happily ran to her boyfriend. As the door shut i looked back to my work. I was making the costumes for the student council. There was supposed to be three of us doing it but i guess i was the only one who got the memo.
For the last three days, I stayed after school for additional two to three hours making sure i finished these. I looked at the clock and saw that i was ending my fourth hour. I finished the dress and packed up my stuff. By the time i was out the front doors it was 7:30 in the evening. Although the campus had lamp posts, I was still scared to walk to the dorms at night. Especially since we got reports about unexpected violence between the dorms and main building.
I hurried my pace. I was starting to feel really paranoid when i heard the sound of faint footsteps behind you. Then this cold shiver broke through my body. Someone was following me. Quickly glancing back, I saw no one. I tried to stay calm, but it wasn't working. I took off running and the footsteps followed me. Sprinting, i thought i got away, but when two figures walked out a few feet in front of me, i knew i was in deep trouble. There was no one around and the dorms were a bit to far for anyone to hear me yell. The guy that was behind me, jogged up and stopped to catch his breath. "Man she runs quick." i didn't know whether to feel accomplished that i could have outran them or devastated that i wasn't fast enough.


"Look. I don't know who you guys are and i don't wanna know. Just please let me go." i pleaded. They laughed. "But we don't want to let you go. Lets have some fun." the two that were in front of me advanced. On impulse, i swung my bag at them. It hit one, the second one i kicked right in the soft stop. Bolting toward the dorms i got away a few feet, but the third caught me. "That wasn't very nice." he said. I turned and his fist slammed into my cheek. I swung back and hit him hard enough to make him let me go. My bag clenched tightly in my hand, i sprinted to my dorm room, continuously looking back to make sure they weren't following me. When i was safe inside my room, I slumped to the floor and sat there. My roommate Laura started freaking out when she saw me. "Fia. Oh my goodness. Fia." she was kneeling in front of me, trying to get an answer, but all i saw was her worried expression.
A nock on the door gave me a jolt. I stood faster then i ever did and retreated to the small kitchen. Laura opened the door and revealed a pizza guy. She paid him and came over to me. "Fia. Sit." she said sternly. I sat down and rubbed my hands together. I couldn't stop shivering. "What happen?" she asked handing me a glass of water. I looked at the water and then at her. "Um…. I um…. Was walking back and um…:" I paused and looked down. "They came out of nowhere." i whispered. I was crying. "I hit one with my bag. Another, i kicked. Third i also hit." i wiped away my tears and looked at Laura. She looked like she saw a horror movie in that small explanation. Laura stood and paced the room. After a moment she stopped and looked at me. "Starting tomorrow, you will be leaving school with me." i was about to say something when she continued. "You have no say in it. As soon as last bell rings, you have 5 minutes to get to my locket. If your late…" she didn't finish the sentence. I knew that meant she'd go talk to the principle about the matter. I nodded and she exhaled. "Ok now, eat and we'll go to bed." She sat down with me and opened the box of pizza. We ate dinner and got ready for bed. "Laura?" i called as she walked into her room. She sat down on her bed and looked at me. "Just grab your own pillow. There was no way i was going to let you sleep alone." she said with a small smile. I relaxed a bit and got my pillow. We got into bed and got comfy. "Thank you Laura." i whispered in the dark. "Your welcome."she said just as i tried to sleep.

The sound of rustling woke me two hours before the alarm rang. My breath caught in my lungs. "Its just the trees." Laura said sleepily. I looked at her. "You jolted and it woke me. Its only the trees. We have two more hours to sleep." i lied down and closed my eyes. Laura took my hand and held it. I felt a little calm and closed my eyes.

The alarm blared loudly, but we didn't need much waking up. I turned it off and sat up. Laura sat up to. "How did you sleep?" she asked looking at me with half asleep eyes. I shrugged. "As well as i could." i replied and got out of bed. "Come on. We need to get ready." I walked to the bathroom with caution. I looked into the mirror and wasn't very surprised at what i saw. Pale face, scared black eyes, a badly busted lip, all surrounded by messy black shoulder length hair.
I washed my face, brushed my heath, combed my hair, and left the bathroom. Laura was already in her clothes when i walked into her room. "Bathroom is free." i said and went to my own room. Putting on the usual uniform, with a different color tang top under my blouse, i went into the kitchen. Waiting for Laura, I put on some coffee. I'm not really a coffee person, but Laura is addicted.
My mind kept reeling back to last night. "Your making coffee?" I came back to reality as Laura walked in. I nodded. "As thanks for last night." she nodded and poured herself a cup. She gave me a look over and frowned. "How long did you sleep?" i thought back and tried to count the hours i slept. In the end i just gave up. Shrugging i told her about 3 hours."I'm not missing school." i told her before she could get a word out. She nodded. "Stay close to me today." she said after she chugged her coffee and got her bag. I nodded and got my bag as well. When we left the room, i notice that we had bout 30 minutes before the first bell. "We'll be early." I told her. She just shrugged. "You need to get your stuff for the masque. Your not staying longer then the last bell." I nodded knowing that she was just worried, but i kinda thought she was over doing it.


The school seemed to be buzzing with excitement. As Laura and i walked to the prep room, we caught small parts of conversations. With the small amount of things we picked up, we found out we were having a new transfer student named Gabriel West. A cold shudder ran down my spine, and i shot a look behind me. Someone was watching me. I could feel it. "Whats wrong?" Laura asked looking back. I shook my head. "It was nothing." We got to class and sat down in our seats by the window. We still had about 15 minutes, so i pulled out my iPod and listened to music. Trying to calm down.
I didn't finish one song when someone stood in front of my desk. "Fiana?" i looked up and saw that it was Marie. I forced a smile and asked what i could do for her. "I was wondering how the costumes were coming along." she was playing with a strand of loose hair, and when she did that she usually need something. "Their almost done. I need to make two more, so i should be finished the day before the masque." i said thinking about the next two days. "Great. Since your that far ahead, i was wondering if you can work on them alone. I have to leave right after school." i sighed and thought about what Laura said. Before i answered Laura spoke. "Were will you be going after school?" she asked Marie. "It my friends birthday--" she started. "Well then your friend can deal without you. Fiana can't stay after. She's leave with me." Laura said looking at Marie with a poisonous expression. "I'll make it up to her tomorrow." she said sternly. Laura folder her arms across her chest and spoke slowly. "You don't seem to understand. I said Fia is leave right after school." I sat there and watched the two. It was interestingly scary. "Fiana." Marie said looking at me with piercing eyes. I looked out the window. "Sorry but i can't. I have things to do." without a word Marie left. "Good. I was really going to punch her if she kept insisting." Laura looked at me and waited till i looked at her. I finally looked at her. "I'm not in the state to defend myself. So thanks." i smiled as the bell rang. Mr. Craw walked in and following him a guy. "Settle down class. We have a new student." he said as the class got quiet. "Introduce yourself." said Mr. Craw sitting down in his chair at the front of the table. "My name is Gabriel West. Gabe for short." he simply said. The class waited for more, but he said nothing else. I looked back out the window and watched the wind brush the tree tops. "You can have the seat in front of Fiana Collins." Mr. Craw looked my way. I glanced at
