Beginnings

Cleo was moving to a new school. She was going to be a Junior in high school next year, and she hadn't been looking forward to it. That is, until she learned she would be moving schools. Maple Valley high was her old school, and it was full of idiots and bad teachers. She didn't know the details of this new school, only it's name, Dragonbreath High. That was an epic name, but was it an epic school? She would find out.

~-~-~-~-~-~

"So here's your class schedule and uniform, and your dorm keys too." The administrator turned to her parents. "I'm sure Cleo will be a great student."

"She will be the best in the school, I assure you." Cleo's parents were strict and way too concerned about education and seriousness. So was this administrator, at least until Cleo's parents left the room.

"Oh thank Ares they're gone! I can't imagine having to deal with those pricks every day!"

"Yeah, they are pricks."

"There is no uniform and you can choose your own classes, too. It's just a trick to free people from strict parents."

"Oh good!"

"So hey, I'm Goldie, or Mrs. Snake if parents are around. Now shoo! To your dorm! I have memes to look at!"

~-~-~-~-~-~

Cleo knocked on dorm 208, not knowing what to expect.

"Come in, you have a key."

"Opal, that's rude. Let them in yourself."

"If you're so nice why don't you go open it!"

"Fine!" A blond girl wearing a striped shirt and blue jeans opened the door. "Hi, I'm False, and the other girl is Opal. She's a bit rude at first."

"Yeah, and you're a bit soft." Opal had short black hair that was longer on one side with a diagonal effect and was wearing a silver shirt with holes where her shoulders were and very ripped black jeans.

"Ignore her. What's your name?"

"Cleo."

"Alright, there's two options for a bedroom. Either sleep in the same room as us or get the ghost room."

"I'll take the second option." At this Opal failed to stifle her laughter.

"What's so funny?

"Nothing!" Opal was still grinning.

~-~-~That night~-~-~

Cleo was laying in her freezing cold bed, trying to get some sleep, when she heard a child giggle and saw something move across the room.

"Who's there?" The giggles continued until they abruptly stopped.

When Cleo fell asleep at last, she had a dream. She was laying in her bed as she had been, but she couldn't move at all. She saw a figure in the corner of the room, and it started to walk towards her. She heard a static noise getting louder as the figure got closer. She wanted so badly to scream, but she couldn't open her mouth, the figure eventually got to her bedside and looked down on Cleo. It put it's clawed hand over Cleo's mouth and the next thing she knew she woke up screaming.

~-~-~In the morning~-~-~

Cleo now understood why her roommates laughed. Surely  the next girl who came would have a similar experience.

"So Cleo, how'd you sleep?" Opal asked with a big smile on her face.

"I hate you."

"Well, today we all get to tour the school and see which classes we like, so that'll be fun." False said, changing the subject.

"Sure, we can do that." Cleo responded.

"Wait, my mom said we have another roommate we have to wait for. Oh, right, she's the principal, Cleo."

"Woah! Cool! You must be able to get away with things easily!"

"Not really, she treats every student like one of her kids."

"Hm."

The dorm room door opened, and behind it was a girl with greenish blue hair, glasses, and a hoodie the colour of her hair.

"Jade, let me guess, mom didn't get you a single room?" Opal's face had shifted to an annoyed expression.

"No... I heard about a spiritual presence in one of these rooms..."

"Oh, so you want to see your spirit friends?"

"Y-yes..."

"Hi! I'm Cleo!" Cleo stood and greeted the stranger.

"...I-I'm J-Jade..."

"We need to get going on the tour now." False pointed out.

"Oh, r-right, I know th-the layout of the school... I can sh-show you around..."

"Cool!"
