Mavis and Setsuna entered the girl's dormitory B when they heard a girl's voice behind them " Hey Mave!"
Mavis recognized the voice and wished she was just mistaking.
The girl now stood next to them and unfortunately for Mavis, it was her, Kelly Thompson.
Kelly and she were classmates in the high school. The girl was her elder sisters' spy. She often reported everything Mavis did to them without exception. There was no difference between her and a good doggie. Mavis sometimes questioned herself how could a girl as intelligent as Kelly lower herself to such a level.
But thankfully, after their graduation from high school, the girl went to live in country F with her father. So Mavis was surprised and disappointed to see the girl there.
" I'm so glad to see you here. Since we both know each other, why don't we become best friends? You will really need one in this school." The blonde haired and brown eyed girl suggested with a kind smile.
" Stay away from me " Mavis simply said and started going.
Setsuna, after taking a good look at the girl, followed Mavis behind.
" Is that your friend?" Setsuna asked Mavis as they started climbing the stairs.
" No. Just someone I have wished you never see again."
" Okay..." Setsuna didn't ask for details and Mavis was grateful for that.
They reached the last floor where Mavis' room was found. It was the last door at the end of the hallway.
Mavis used her card to open the door to her room and Setsuna helped her to put her suitcases in.
" You have to unpack your things so I will leave. My room is seventy eight, just a floor beneath yours. See you soon, Mavis " and she left.
Mavis scanned the room. There was a medium size bed, a study table by the window, a large closet,a door which she was sure led to the bathroom and a glass door with curtains, leading to the balcony. There were a few electronic devices on the study table; a phone a tablet and laptop.
She pulled the glass door open. On the balcony, there was a small round table and two chairs. She leaned and saw the other students who were pulling their luggages to their respective dorms. She could also see the birds flying in the sky and others chirping in the trees.
Everything looked so peaceful and calm. Mavis already had a vision of her academic year ; prosperous and peaceful. All she has to do is to stay as far as possible from Kelly, her sisters' good doggie.
Something strange caught Mavis' attention. Next to a tree in the yard, there was a shadow with no body. It then started moving on its own, passing across students, but they didn't seem to perceive it . It then stopped in front of the female dormitory B. It raised it's head as to look at something and stared at Mavis. It didn't have eyes but strangely, Mavis knew it was peering at her.
The shadow then lifted it's arm and pointed it's index finger at her, as if accusing her for doing something.
She then heard someone knocking her door. She looked at the door for a brief second and when she turned her attention back to the shadowy figure, it was no more. She scanned the whole yard but she saw nothing out of place. " I must be hallucinating. I'm really exhausted." She mumbled to herself.
She then heard another knock at the door and went to open it.
She saw a girl with black hair and lemon green eyes standing by her door.
" Hello my name is name is Joanna Huston but you may call me Anna. I'm your room neighbour. I heard you entering but I was busy unpacking my luggage and I came now to greet you" the girl had a kind smile plastered on her face.
" Mavilia Reid. Call me Mavis. Nice to meet you" Mavis returned the smile.
Anna saw Mavis luggages still intact and guessed she was still to unpack them." Looks like you still have work. I won't disturb you any longer. I'm just here so if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I will be glad to help." She showed her room door, which was effectively next to Mavis'.
" Thanks"Mavis gave her a warm smile before she left. She then closed the door and went back to the balcony to check if she was really imagining things. When she didn't see anything, she entered back into her dorm and threw herself on the soft bed
" I must be really tired" she mumbled before drifting to sleep.
