Ironic thing to say given my line of involuntary work.
But I meant it.
Here, I wasn’t that girl, the girl who’s forced to degrade and expose herself to the entire world day in and out. Here, I could be myself, Samara Campbell, thereal me.
And real me was not stepping a foot outside this dorm until this problem was fixed.
Sky placed her hands on her hips and bit down on her lip, gnawing harder as she tried to think up a solution.
“You could try and switch it out for a different one, but you’ll have to go all the way to the front desk.” She eyed over the skirt again and I stood still as she made to inspect it. “It’s not on backwards… It fits perfectly… You are kinda tall and your legs are a little bit longer than mine. Thatcouldbe it. Hmm…Hang on, take off your skirt. I’m gonna test something out.”
She kicked off her heels, shimmied out her skirt, then approached my new and perfectly furnished bed. I kicked off my heels but didn’t strip out the skirt until I was standing beside her.
“What’s this gonna solve?”
“You’ll see.”
Sky placed her skirt next to mine and checked the sizes. “Huh…so that’s not it.” She then placed her skirt on top of mine and brought the bottom edges together. “Same size same length,” she muttered. “So that’s not it either.” She handed back the hideous piece of clothing and began putting hers back on. “Come with me to my room. I have a full body standup mirror in there that’ll show us exactly what the problem is.”
By now I had a pretty good idea what the problem was, and as Sky began tugging me by my wrist out of my room and across the dorm, I cursed my family genes for blessing me with such a burden.
Yep. Knew it.Goddamn big booty Judy genes.
“Well—um…” Sky started, unsure of what to say as her eyes volleyed between our two side-by-side reflections. “Fuck it, I’ll be blunt. You have a big ass, Samara. A big, juicy—”
“Thanks,” I snapped in a hiss. “I got it, and that’s really, really not helping.”
“You won’t get away with walking around school like that. You’ll get thrown in the dungeon andtrust me, that is somewhere youdon’twant to be.”
“What the fuck is the dungeon?”
“It’s basically the academy’s version of detention. I hate to say it, but you might have to ditch classes today and wait until this afternoon to get a new skirt.”
“I can’t do that. Ihaveto go to classes. I have to—”
“Look, I get it. This school is a big deal and you can get into some of the best colleges just for having the opportunity to attend a place like this. But if you walk out that door without following my advice, you’ll regret it. Listen to me, Samara, I’m trying to help you.”
I didn’t know Sky that well, and I sure as fuck didn’t trust easily; but the seriousness embedded into each and every crease on her face screamed at me to listen to her. To believe her.
I scoffed. “Okay, so I miss today. What the hell am I supposed to do until then, just stay cooped up in here?”
“Classes end at three-thirty. After that, all students have free range to wander the academy and basically do whatever the fuck they want, except leave school grounds. If you’re caught wandering the school outside of uniform before then, well…”
“Let me guess… You get thrown in thedungeon,” I snarled, making angry quotes with my fingers.
Sky giggled. “Afraid so, darling. But hey, it won’t be so bad. The fridge and freezer are stocked up with food, sodas, and all kinds of unhealthy shit. Go nuts. Watch some Netflix and chill out. Enjoy someyoutime while you still can, ‘cause soon you’ll be drowning in homework. When I get back this afternoon, I can officially fill you in on everything. I kinda didn’t get the chance to do it last night. Thank you for that, by the way.”
Sky wanted to see her boyfriend. That was why she looked like she was ready to murder Headmaster Higgins when I showed up here yesterday. I had to unpack and had a big whopping plan of vengeance to prepare for, so I skipped out on the school tour and told Sky she could show me how to get to my classes this morning and we’d call it even.
Yeah…well…so much for that.
I offered her a kind smile. “No problem. Glad I could help.”
“Here.” She reached in her bra and handed me her phone. “Put your number in. I can inform you all about todays fuckery fest and then explain it in better detail later.”
Beyond my control, I laughed.
Sky was cool. Looks like I might not have to kill her after all.
