Hidden Truths Hello everyone! This is a collab with the wonderful _Xx-Heavenly-xX_ . Hope you enjoy! The first few updates are probably going to be a little bit boring, so please bear with us. ※〜※〜※ Leirra Plants. That was all Leirra could see. Not the immense stone and glass building looming straight ahead. Not the people milling around her. Just grass, trees, and flowers, all of them filling the air with their intoxicating scents. Leirra inhaled deeply and allowed herself the first smile she had had in months. Against all odds, she was finally there. Even though her adoptive parents had recently died. Even though she had to walk for days to get to the college, because she didn't have a car. Even though she had to steal money from the wealth her adopted brother had inherited -- and kept from her -- to pay for tuition. The 18 year old took a deep breath and followed the winding stone path to the dorm rooms. The cherry red suitcase she pulled behind her held her only belongings, but she didn't look like a recently-turned-poor individual. Her gauzy silk dress was a myriad of vibrant colors, and her auburn waves gleamed in the sun. In other words, Leirra looked like what she was anything but. A typical student going to college. "Hello, sweetheart! What's your name?" Leirra's gaze snapped up. She hadn't realized she had arrived, and entered, the dorm buildings. "Leirra Aster Carmelo." The woman sitting behind the desk rapidly typed into the computer. "You're in room 218, dear," she informed her. "Go to the right, then make a left, then another left, and it's on the right. After that, you're free to do whatever you want. Your RA is right outside." "Thank you," she replied politely. "You're welcome, honey." When Leirra walked into her dorm room, the first thing she noticed was that it had a view of a weeping willow tree. She stared at it for a full minute before finally tearing her gaze away to inspect the room. It was a typical small white box, with bunk beds, two desks, two wardrobes, and a door leading to what she assumed was a bathroom. There was no sign of her roommate; she probably wasn't there yet. Leirra set her suitcase down beside the window and ventured into the bathroom. A girl was standing in front of the mirror, touching up her already flawless makeup. Her platinum blonde hair was piled on top of her head, and her grey eyes were glaring at Leirra disapprovingly. "What are you doing in here?" she snapped. "Don't you know how to knock?" "Well, uh, I'm Leirra, from room 218," she stuttered. "And I w-was just going to go to the bathroom. The door was, er, slightly open, so I didn't-" "Whatever." The girl put her bright red lipstick in her purse and strode out of the room. Leirra sighed. The girl was a lot like her selfish brother. Hopefully her roommate wouldn't be. ※〜※〜※ Don't worry. It's not a typical boring college romance/drama story. I promise it'll get better.
BUMP! This actually sounds really interesting. A break from all the romance and horror. I look forward to reading more of it. FIRST READER
Zoe's POV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "That'll be fifty dollars, Ms." The cab drive spoke in a low, deep voice, his breath reeked of alcohol. Zoe was looking outside the window. Glancing around seeing people around her age walking around, casually bumping into one another. "First day of college.. Yippie." She said under her voice in a sarcastic voice. She pulled her schedule out of her back pocket, it somewhat crumpled up and slightly torn. She simply shrugged it off. "Ms? The money please..." He repeated it again. "Ah, yeah. Sorry." She shoves her hand in her pocket, digging around for her money. After a few minutes of digging she pulled out two fold twenties and a ten. The guy snatches it from her hand. "Thank you. You things are in the trunk." He smiles at her, but his smile was anything but friendly. She was tempted to scold at him, but then decided against it. Sliding out of the car, she went to the back of the taxi. The cab driver popped the trunk. A college student walked past her, taking a massive whiff of him. "Got enough cologne there.." She said to herself. The scent slowly dispersed, and she pulled her duffel bag out of the trunk, and then her mid-night blue suit case. As the cab pulled away, she glanced back down at her schedule. Room 218 She rolled her noisy suit case down the sidewalk. "Hello!" A perky blonde chick popped up right in front of Zoe. "Um.. Hi." Zoe said slowly, a bit of a puzzled look spread across her face. "I'm Samantha! Samantha Nicole Rogers! If you ever need any help just holler! Ha Ha!" Samantha continues to talk in her little high pitched voice. "I'm Zoe Alexandra Johnson..." She starts to pull out her head phones. After hearing her go on and on how so much fun it is here, Zoe couldn't take it any longer. "Okay your really starting to annoying me... And your little squeaky voice." Zoe pushed past her, and continued to walk down the side walk. "Okay well it was nice talking to you!" Samantha shouted back at her. "My ears are bleeding.." Zoe plugged her ears with headphones to block out the sound of all the high pitcher voices. People wouldn't stop staring at her, maybe it was because she was so pale, or maybe because of her snake bite pierced lips or anything of the other piercing she had on her ears and nose. But what made her stand out so much must have been her bright blue hair. She pulled her hood up, and zipped up her hoodie. The stares slowly disappeared as her walked down the hall. She gazes at the board that showed where everything was. After a few minutes she found where to found her dorm. She approached it, turning the knob to her dorm, and walked in. Dropping her suitcase and duffel bag, with a loud clattering sound. ----------------------------------------- Aww nice writing girl! Better then mine.

Thanks everyone. ※〜※〜※ Leirra "Home sweet home." Leirra cautiously peered into her dorm room to catch a glimpse of the source of the sarcastic voice. A slightly emo looking girl was standing in front of the window, surveying the small space. She was tall and pale and had hair the brightest shade of blue Leirra had ever seen. "Hey, you there." Leirra ducked behind the door, but it was no use. The girl followed her into the bathroom. "I'm Zoe," she declared. "And I hope you're my roommate, not some creeper stalking me." Taken aback by her abrupt introduction, Leirra blurted out the first thing that came to her mind. "Don't worry, the only person I've ever stalked was my brother." Zoe snickered. "Why? A little incestuous relationship?" "He's not my brother by birth," Leirra replied, her face starting to burn. "No, but I don't want to… I mean… I didn't… I meant to say that, uh, I'm Leirra." She smirked. "Well, nice to meet you, Leirra." "God. You can get to know each other in your room. Just get out of the bathroom." The girl from room 220 sauntered in, accompanied by an inane looking blonde. "Oh, hi, Zoe! It's me, Samantha! I didn't know your room was right next to mine! Now we can do all kinds of stuff together!" she chirped. "How about no?" Zoe snapped back. "Get out of the bathroom," the other girl repeated. "But Chrisette," Samantha whined. "If they stay here, we can all be friends!" "Actually, we were just leaving," Leirra interrupted, sighing inwardly. All she wanted was a little bit of peace and quiet, not to get into petty fights on the first day of college. "C'mon, Zoe." ※〜※〜※ "So what do you like to do?" Leirra and Zoe were walking along one of the pathways in the forest. "Well, I like to paint an-" Leirra started to answer, faltering when a loud bang sounded out. Something whizzed past in front of them, so fast she felt rather than saw it. "What was that?" "Holy shit." "What?" Zoe pointed a shaking finger at the oak tree next to them. There was a bullet lodged in the trunk. ※〜※〜※ FAINTS. By the way, I'm going traveling and I might not have wifi. I'll be back on Thursday.
I really like this. Very different, very interesting. I can't wait to read more of this, girls. But, I'll most likely continue to lurk. So, bump and I shall be reading!
~Zoe POV~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "What the hell is going on!" Zoe stares at the oak tree. Leirra stands there, not moving or talking. "Don't just stand there, dumbass!" Zoe grabbed Leirra arm, and pulled her away from the oak tree. They ran through the forest, back to the safely of the campus. "Someone tried to kill us!?" Leirra started to have a freak attack. Zoe rolls her eyes, and slaps Leirra not to hard on the cheek. "Stop talking, fuck! It wasn't even been 24 hours since I stepped foot in this place!" Zoe pulled up her hood. "Come on, and stop your crying." Zoe basically dragged Leirra back to their dorm, tossing her on the bed. She walks over to the bathroom. "Zoe!! Hi girl! Wanna hang out!" Samantha leaned against the sink, smiling at her. "Dude your creepy, were you seriously waiting here for me?" Zoe pushed her aside, and grabs a bunch of paper towels. "Of course not silly!" She tapped Zoe on the head. "No more grumpy pants." She giggled like a little kid. "Listen here blondie. I. Don't. Like. You. Get that through your thick skull. Now I know why people call blondes Dumb Blondes. Now leave me alone, before I sneak into your room into the middle of the night and cut all your hair off!" Zoe didn't wait for a response. She left and slammed the door behind her, throwing the paper towels in Leirra lap. Leirra looked up at her. "Thanks.." She blew we nose with one, and the wiped her eyes with the other one. "You can put these back, we don't want to waste anything. We have to keep the earth clean-" Zoe interrupted her with the blast of her music. "Now stupid, and just unpack you bag already." She turned on her rap station. *<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>* Zoe laid on her bed. After a while of Leirra complaining Zoe had plugged her headphones back in. Lerria folded all her clothes nicely, and put them away nice and neatly, Zoe on the other hand, shoved her clothes in her drawers. Zoe put her headphones on. "I'm gonna go get something to eat." "Im not liking college already..." Zoe thought to herself. "Hi there! Chick with the blue hair!" Zoe turned her head a bit, rising an eyebrow. Oh Snap! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zoe doesn't tolerate crying. And she's easily annoyed. As you can tell. Hahaha.
