Chapter 1: Loathing and Hatred

Rina Hall tapped the bedpost to her best friend, Isa Daniels' four poster bed. "Wake up, sleepyhead," she teased, opening the curtains. The sun shone brightly through the stained glass windows of their dormitory. Isa groaned and put her head under the pillow. Rina rolled her eyes and tickled her best friend. "Isa, come on! Nichola, Michelle, Nikka, Ellie and Mandy are already going to the breakfast nook!"

"Mummy, five more minutes!" Isa yelled, trying desperately to fall back to sleep. Rina grinned mischievously as she tiptoed to the stereo and played "Addicted" by Simple Plan. "Rina, turn that darn thing off!"

"I know you hate Simple Plan so I blasted Michelle's CD, Isa. Wake up!!!" Rina said loudly, turning off the stereo. A knock came on their door.

"Isa, wake up!" a loud voice screeched. Rina grinned as she shook her head. Go Nichola, she thought as she entered the bathroom. Nichola Callaway barged inside their dormitory and tickled Isa again.

"Okay, Nix, I'm up!" Isa yelled, sitting up in her bed. Nichola laughed, crossing her arms. Isa glanced around the room and laughed as well. Her clothes were a mess, some scattered on Rina's bed. Rina's CD player was on Isa's nightstand, Mandy Brighton's new lip-gloss was on Nichola's vanity table, Nikka Foreman's new handbag was on Ellie Krüger's desk chair so safe to say, it was a complete mess. "What happened?"

"We came in late last night, remember? I borrowed Mandy's gloss, Nikka dropped her bag on Ellie's chair, you kept Rina's CD player and Rina didn't bother taking your clothes of her bed," Michelle Dawson commented, entering their dormitory. "I bothered keeping my stuff neat."

"Alright. Who's in the bathroom?!" Isa said suddenly. Rina's melodious laughter echoed through the dormitory.

"You woke up late!" she yelled from the bathroom. Nichola's grin widened. "Don't worry; I'll be out in a second!"

Ellie went up and stared at their dormitory. "Wow, did a tornado wreck our dormitory?" she asked, laughing. "I could've sworn it was neat just yesterday."

She picked up Nikka's handbag and put it by Nikka's bedpost, sitting on her desk chair. Isa brushed her dark brown hair and fixed it in a half ponytail. She picked up the clothes lying on Rina's bed and put them over her shoulder. "Hurry up!" Isa yelled at Rina. After a moment, Rina exited the bathroom, brushing her wet raven black hair. "Thanks."

"Told you I'll be out in a second," Rina said stubbornly, putting a black hair band. She straightened her skirt. "Why do we have to wear such weird uniforms?!"

"Ask Professor Vladimir, she's the headmistress." Nichola rolled her eyes, checking her black Mary Jane shoes. Their uniform was like a British lady, composed of a white long-sleeved blouse, a red tie, a red plaid skirt and polished Mary Jane shoes.

"Is Isa awake yet?!" Nikka asked impatiently, rushing upstairs. "We might not even get our breakfast! Classes start in an hour!"

"Yeah, she's in the bathroom," Ellie replied, tapping her slender fingers on the desk. Nichola was tapping her foot impatiently, her grey eyes showing impatience as well. Rina sat on her now fixed bed, cross legged, tapping her slender fingers on her fair skinned cheek, chin on her palm. Nikka and Michelle had their arms crossed, leaning against their walk in closet.

"Okay, I'm done!" Isa said thirty minutes later, exiting the bathroom. All of them had fallen asleep. Mandy entered the room.

"What happened? I finished your cereals at the nook because you never came! I have to brush my teeth," Mandy commented and headed towards the bathroom. Isa brushed her hair and fixed it into a ponytail. She first moved towards Rina, a smile on her face. She tickled Rina.

"Wake up, sleepyhead!" she mimicked. Rina screamed and sat up.

"Isa!" Rina whined. The others groaned and woke up as Mandy skipped out of the bathroom. Isa grinned and headed out the door. Rina smirked, grabbing her bag and Isa's, going out the door. The rest followed.

Cole Greenwood groaned as he heard the alarm clock ring. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, opening the four poster curtains. The sun shone brightly through Monticello Full-Length windows, and he saw the principal playing cricket. Yet his other best friends were fast asleep. He grinned impishly as he softly and slowly opened the curtains of Scott Parker's bed. He bent down and suddenly yelled, "FIRE!!!"

"AAGH!" Scott shouted, sitting up in bed and causing a big domino effect. Ian Dean bumped his head into the head board and yelled in pain, Harry Xavier fell off the bed and bumped his behind, Alfonso Harrison jumped off the bed and got entangled in his blankets, Chris Walker fell on Alfonso and bumped his stomach and Damian Chapelle bumped his head into the stereo and it blasted the song "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" right at it's chorus.

"YES!!!" Cole shouted in triumph. Scott rubbed the back of his head and glared at Cole. Cole backed up into a wall and his six best friends glared at him with deadly arrows. "Uh-oh."

They aimed their pillows at him and fired. He was bombarded with pillows. Scott smirked and slapped high-fives with his friends. "Got you again, Cole."

"Why do I always fail?"

"Based on the fact you always wake up earliest, we should've expected something like that from you," Harry said thoughtfully.

"Bah!" Cole said hotly. "I will get you again!"

"Yeah, and get attacked by Mr. Feathers," Alfonso threatened, tilting his head towards their pile of pillows. Cole nodded vigorously.

"Can we go to class now?" he said brightly. Chris chuckled.

"In our boxers? No thanks, Cole," Chris said, referring to their plain shirts and boxer shorts. He headed towards the bathroom. Cole laughed as he sat on the floor by his bed.

"But I sure got you guys, didn't I?" he teased. Scott laughed along with the others.

"Yeah. I believe in a thing called love?" Damian shook his head, grinning all the same. "It's as if we're gay or something."

"Course not!" Harry said indignantly. "I like the song!"

"Harry's gay," Damian said, shaking his head in a teasing manner. Harry rolled his eyes and chucked a pillow at Damian. He easily caught it.

"Thanks, Harry," he said cheerfully.

"I'll get you, Damian!!" he yelled and ran for Damian.

"AAGH! A GAY'S RUNNING AFTER ME!!!" Damian yelled, making the others laugh as he ran as far away from Harry.

"What's going on?" Chris asked, coming out of the bathroom. They couldn't say a word because their stomachs were hurting from laughter.

An hour later, they were prepared yet when they reached the nook, all the cereal was gone. Chris rolled his eyes. "Must be that Mandy girl!"

"She's nice!" Scott protested. "We worked on a science project together once!"

"Is she thin?"

"Yeah!" Cole agreed. "We were talking during History! She seems very fun to be with!"

"Whatever," Chris said, rolling his eyes. They walked to History classroom when.

"He sucks like the high heavens, man!" Mandy said in annoyance when she bumped into someone. "Sorry-"

"Watch it, will you?!" an angry voice spat. Mandy turned around and saw Chris. "Of course I bumped into Mandy Brighton. Maybe it's because of her fat arse!"

"Shut up, Chris Walker!" Isa said defensively, clenching her fists. Scott rolled his eyes.

"Ooh, it's the tough girl, is it?" he said, smirking.

"You're just jealous because you squeal like a girl!" Rina snapped, crossing her arms and standing beside Isa defensively. Cole stepped beside Scott angrily.

"Shut your mouth! You know you find us cute!"

"She doesn't waste her time on jerks like you!" Ellie said angrily, rolling her eyes. "She's not stupid like any of you."

"Why are you defending her, Krüger?" Alfonso said slyly. "Are you two having an affair or something?"

"Shut up, we're not gay like you!" Nichola said in defense, glaring at him.

"None of us are gay, you lesbians!" Ian said angrily.

"Shut your trap, you jerk!" Nikka spat.

"Whatever, not like we talk to freaks like you!" Damian said angrily.

"We are not the freaks, you are!" Michelle snapped.

"Look who's talking!" Harry said angrily.

"SHUT UP!" Mandy finally yelled. Her face was red. She punched Chris's gut. "THERE, WE GOT IT OVER WITH! LET'S GO!"

She swept inside the History classroom. Rina, Isa, Michelle, Nichola, Ellie and Nikka glared at the boys and at Chris, who was clutching his stomach in pain before entering the History classroom.

"Well they sure hate us," Cole said before Scott smacked him on the head.
