Nancy was finally going to boarding school.Ever since she was young,it has been her dream to go there.Everytime she talked to her parents about it,they told her she wouldn’t survive there.But now at 16 years of age,they decided she was old enough to take care of herself in a boarding school.

Her parents enrolled her at Progressive Students Boarding School.They thought it was the best school for her and chose it because their neighbour’s daughter also schooled there.

Nancy was a little sad when she said her goodbyes to her parents but being an adventurous person,she was happy to embark on a new journey.She was shown to her room and found her roommate unpacking her bags.

“Hi.” Nancy greeted her.

Her roommate just looked at her and continued with what she was doing.

“I’m Nancy.”Nancy tried being friendly.

“Millicent.” Her roommate said coldly.

Nancy decided to not proceed with the conversation.

At dinner, Nancy was sitting alone.She missed her parents already but knew she was the one who pressurized them to bring her here and she didn’t really had any regrets.

Someone cleared their throat interrupting her thoughts.

“Hi, I’m Abby.There’s no other tables to sit at.Can I sit with you?” The girl asked with a smile.

“Sure,I am Nancy by the way.” Nancy said happy to finally meet someone friendly.

They ate and talked.Nancy found it easy to speak with her and learnt they had a lot in common.She found out she was the same age with her and same grade.But she was not really sure they were in the same class.

The next day,when Nancy arrived at her class,she saw Abby sitting on the front row.

“Come sit with me.” Abby shouted to Nancy.

Abby smiled and walked to Abby’s desk.But after she sat down,she noticed something, everyone was looking at her and some of them whispering.

“Why is everyone looking at me?” Nancy whispered to Abby.

“That’s exactly how they react whenever there’s a newcomer.Very immature.” Abby said putting her arms over Nancy’s shoulders.

After a few minutes,Millicent and another girl walked inside the class.Millicent looked at Abby and whispered something to her friend who chuckled.

Millicent and her friend walked to the empty desk behind Nancy and Abby.

““I don’t like these two girls.They are not good people.” Abby whispered.

“Millicent is actually my roommate and she is not really friendly.” Nancy whispered.

“She’s your what?!” Abby said a little bit too loud.

“Yeah,is there a problem?” Nancy asked.

“No,of course not.Just be careful around her.She’s not who you think she is.” Abby warned Nancy.

Nancy was a little bit confused by Abby’s sudden change of mood.
