(I know the picture isn't really related to the story but the appearance to Erica was as close as I could find!)

The black haired girl stormed out of the room and I could hear her heels clicking from two halls away, the echoing noise made me shutter. Erica looked up at me, "Well you've made quite the first impression." I guiltily stared at my feet and wiped away the few tears that spilled, "Indeed I have..." She laughed, "It's cool, I never really liked her anyways. She's glued to that phone 24/7. She's always judging me and trying to make me more like her, ugh, what a jerk." I laughed with her but I had no idea what she was implying by "cool" and "jerk". "That's a relief! I wouldn't forgive myself  if the two of you were close." I stated. 

She nodded and motioned me towards the legendary 'bunk bed'. I gasped and stared at it in awe. "M-My maid once told me that her sister shared one of these with her! I've never seen anything like it! Wow!" Erica gawked at me, "Huh?" I walked towards the small wooden ladder, "Ooh, how clever!" and I started to climb to the top. Once I got up to the top I started giggling uncontrollably with delight. "I'm so high up! Look at me, I'm taller than you!" I exclaimed. Erica just sat there and stared at me, to be honest she looked like she was watching a horror movie.

"Um...okay? I'm Erica Johnson, nice to meet ya'." she offered me her hand and I gingerly shook it, "My name is Beatrice Evans. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!" She laughed and plopped a large pair of headphones over her ears. She pushed up her glasses then ducked under and into the bottom bunk. Once she did that I realized that I had nothing to do. "Excuse me, do you have Sudoku?" I asked. She looked up from under the bunk, "Huh? What was that?" I motioned for her to take off her headphones and she begrudgingly did so. "Do you have Sudoku or any Crossword Puzzles?" I asked.

She gave me a puzzled look, "Aren't those, like, for grandmas or somethin'?" I gave a confused face, "Oh, do children my age not take pleasure in brain teasers?" she stared at me again, "No, no they don't." I sighed, "What do they like?" She rubbed her chin in thought, "Angst, fandoms, ships, and...music."and with that she stuffed her ears into her headphones again and went back onto her bunk. I lay down completely dumbfounded, "What do those even mean?" I muttered to myself. I then remembered Ben, "Wait, I have a friend!" I confidently exclaimed and ran out of our room. 

I raced through the halls before realizing that I had no idea where I was going. Um, what was my old room number? 317? Yes, that's it! I thought then started to read the numbers on each door I passed and tried to navigate my way around. I searched and searched but I seemed to get more and more lost. I found a small group of students huddled in a corner. "Excuse me, do any of you know where dormitory number 317 is?" I asked. A girl with pale blond hair turned and looked at me before tugging on a boy's sleeve with equally pale hair. He said something to her that I couldn't quite catch before walking to me, "What do you need?" His green eyes bore into my soul but I don't think he was trying to be intimidating, he was just...super tall! "I-I need to find room 317, do you know where that is?" I replied. He smiled then said, "One of my friends has that room!" "That's great, thank you so much." I smiled, "My friend is in there too!" 

This boy is very nice, he's a lot like Ben! He skillfully led me through the halls until we arrived to a room. "Thank you so much for your help, I never would've found it myself! I'm sorry for being a burden. Is there anything I  can do to make it up to you?" I said. "No, no it's fine. What's your name?" he asked. "I'm Beatrice Evans." I said, "My name's Henry!" we then shook hands and went our separate ways. I waved to him as he left, "Goodbye, Henry!" he smiled, "See ya' B!" I immediately started beaming, "Is that a nickname? I've always wanted one of those!" He laughed, "Well now you have one!" then he walked away and down the hall.

I knocked on the hard wooden door and someone instantly opened it, a boy with jet black hair and brown eyes. "Hello, my name is Beatrice Evans. I've come to see Ben!" I gave him a cheerful smile but he only grunted in response and let me in. He quickly shut the door behind me. "Ben." was all he said to get his attention. Ben perked up, "Hey, Beatrice!" I laughed, "You won't believe it, I wanted to see you but I got lost and this boy helped me find your room! He gave me a nickname! Isn't that great?"

The boy with black hair awkwardly stood there while we talked. "Wow, what's your nickname?" Ben questioned. "B! Or Bea...I guess you could spell it either way?" I replied. "What's your name?" I asked the boy with black hair. "Owen." he calmly responded. "It's very nice to meet you Owen." I gave him a warm smile but he kept his face unemotional. Then...I noticed it...his hair....it looked super soft! I don't have very many weaknesses besides adorable baby animals or cupcakes but one of them is...things that are soft! 

I just wanted to pet him like a dog so bad! I fought back the urge and kept talking to Ben, "Do you want to do something? I don't have anything to do so I was wondering if I could spend time with you." I said. He smiled, "Uh...sure? Girls and boys don't really hang out a lot though..." I was confused, "Why not? It's not like you're another suitor so I can spend time with you, right?" Ben and Owen looked at me oddly, "Suitor?" they both asked.

"Yes, I'm supposed to marry to a very rich family so that my family can grow their companies to be even bigger. I don't really get to love anyone, just marry." I calmly answered their question. Ben looked at me sympathetically, "Wow, I'm sorry." Owen nodded but didn't say anything. "It's okay, really! Don't worry about me!" I frantically tried to get the attention off of me-I hate pity.

"What should we do for fun? Would you like to join us Owen?" I asked. Owen sighed, "Fine..." Ben laughed, "I've got Monopoly."
