Dating With Prince Charming - Chapter 2

I am glad that the general office is at the side of the gates, not difficult to find at all. It was a good thing that mom have passed me a map of it. I decided to take a look at it before I go into the office. The school plan is impressive. But obviously this map is not going to help me because the footnote says "updated on 2 June 1990" oh great! This is the year 2010. Hello, this map is like 20 years old and is part of the Javaliine Street directory. I turn the paper over, not really expected to see anything. To my surprise, I saw a note from mom to me. It says:

Dearest baby, (why oh why must, she use baby I am like 17) I know that you may not like this school but please do try to. It has always been my dream to study in this school but I am simply not good enough. Now that you got the chance, please treasure it. All my hope
is on you. Do me proud. This is my address:

10 Javaliine road
Level 10
Room 8
Visit me on weekends.
Love,
Mom

No wonder she was so desperate of me coming here, now I feel like I am carrying her burden too. I sigh, and push open the door. Wow, a rich school means a rich school, even the office is like super huge. I walk to the counter where a lady who I assume is the office- lady.

"Erm... Hey! I am Libby Jones..." great!! My voice broke twice. "Oh, welcome." there, I knew it. The first poor girl who made it to Javaliine High is probably on top of the gossip list. "Here's your schedule, and the map of the school. This the card key to your dorm, which is room 1092, level 3..." she continued to speak very quickly as I try to keep up. She pass me other things like the Food-Card, which is easy recognizable because the words were already printed on it. Then she hands me a bag pack. It's not huge, just right for my size, and fashionable. It is a Zinc bag, black with hot pink and white graphics on it. "This bag pack is from the international arts school to you. The instructions are inside. Have fun in this school and good luck!" "yeah thanks" I mumble, trying to hold everything.

I walk out of the office with my hands full. I realize I can't read my map this way, so decided to ask for directions to my dorm. "Erm... Can you show me the way to room 1092?" I ask the nearest female school peer I can find. "Hey! That's my room. So you are my new room-mate!

Nice to meet you. I am Jasmine Kim, and I am from Korea. Here, let me help you with your stuffs."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beep! Jasmine scans her card key and got us inside. Wow! I've been using this word ever since I stepped into this school; the room was huge, at least twice bigger than my old apartment. There are two queen size beds, two study table (one filled with things while the other is empty, which I assumed it will me mine.) "Relax, yours will soon be like mine once school starts." Jasmine said when she saw me staring at the tables. I was not staring at the tables because of the things piled on top, I am staring it because it is absolutely beautiful. It got very nice patterns craved out on the legs and it is of a classical black. The whole room looked like a VIP room in a 5-star hotel.

"Where are your clothes?" "Here" I said, pushing my small luggage to Jasmine as we unpacked my luggage, (which basically are a bag for clothes and other things, and the other for books) "so little, I am so going to bring you shopping. The mall here rocks." " Erm... Look Jas, I am different from you, I am not rich, I don't think I can afford anything from the mall here." I said cautiously, afraid that because I am poor, Jasmine won't want to be my friend. "Never mind, I will pay for you, I have too much money. Anyway, friends help each other all the time right." "Thanks Jas! You are the best!" I said hugging her.

We finished unpacking in half an hour, and Jas went on to telling me about this school and the rules that can be broken without punishments and those that have extreme heavy punishment like being expel and the others. "Oh yeah, there's this hot guy that everyone is crazy about. He is the richest in our school and he only hangs out with his group of friends.

He is mean and basically a jerk. I don't understand why people get so crazy about him just because he is cute. Just keep away from him, I don't him to mock you just because you aren't rich. Oh we missed out that cute backpack of yours take it over and unpack it" "Kay!" I pulled the bag over, suddenly released that it is very heavy. "Let see.." I unzipped the bag and look inside. I pulled out the first item that I see and found that it is the instructions. "Instructions?" Jasmine said raising an eyebrow, " I'll read it out. 'Thanks you, Libby Jones for accepting our sponsorship, we hope... I'll skip the thank you crap...

In your back pack, you will see a Mac book, an iPhone, a iPod touch, and your books. These are for your studies. You will also be given a thousand and five hundred dollars to spend on clothes at the mall in school. your stationary and other art materials. Your Food-card is also different from others because we are sponsoring it. Good luck and we hope to see you soon. Wow! This is terrific.

Libby!" Jas shout when she saw that I was not reacting. This is way - tooooo generous. I know I am good but I can't be that good right. Oh well, I guess I don't need to depend on Jas for the money anymore. We started to register the things and I sketch Jas out on my sketch book and she oooh and ahhhhh when she saw the rest of my sketches. I showed her my schedule and found out that she is from the dance department. We have a lot in common. And I am happy that at least I have a friend in this school so this was not going to be that bad. After that we said good night and went off to bed.

I lay on my bed thinking of all the possibilities that could happen tomorrow, which is the first day of school. I prayed hard that I would not meet that guy that Jas told me about. I was exhausted from the days work and fall into a deep sleep.

"Wake up! Wake up! WAKE UP!!!! It's the first day of school and you don't want to be late. LIBBY JONES " Jasmine shouted at the top of her lungs. "Ok ok I'm awake." I got up, and stumbled to the toilet. I brush my teeth so hard to wake myself up that it starts to bleed. I rinse my mouth, slip into my uniform and rush out shouting " I'm decent!!" I said my goodbyes to jasmine took a deep breath and went out of the dorm. Javaliine High, here I come!
