I put my hair in a ponytail as brushed my teeth. Once I was done with that I noticed that the glass beside my bed was empty so I pulled my dressing gown on and my socks before pulling open the door.

It was like walking around a playhouse here sometimes. I noticed the boys, excluding Todd, were all standing outside Charlie and Cameron's room. Upon seeing me Neil put out his arm pulling me into his side in a hug.

"Hey Sophie" they greeted as I muttered back hi to them before yawning.

"Where are you off to Phi?" Neil asked letting me go as I lifted my glass earning an 'oh' of understanding in return

"Is poor Soph tired" Charlie sneered from his door making me glare at him

"Leave her Charlie, she spent most of her morning trying to get that bird out of her room" Pitts said to him, making me look up and smile

"Thank you Pitts"

"Sophie maybe you should shut your window tonight" Knox said trying to be helpful as I looked up at him smiling

"Yeah ill take that into consideration Knox, thanks" I said as I rubbed my eyes looking down "I'm going to" I raised the glass letting out another yawn "yeah" I said walking away.

     I got to a drinking tap, that was used for filling up bottles and glasses unlike the one by Knox's room that was used to directly drink from.

      I filled my glass up and made my way back down the hall towards where the boys were and looked up just as Hager was coming towards me. The boys moved into their room and I put my head down hoping he would pass me and he did but then.

     "Ms. Perry" he said making me turn back to look at him

     "Sir" I greeted back as he stood in front of me with his arms behind his back

      "I just wanted to congratulate you on the exams you did at the end of last year. Perfect scores on almost everything" he said a ghost of a smile crossing his face

     "Oh, thank you sir" I said. I hadn't been expecting that

     "Sophia, if you keep going the way you are now I could see a potential scholarship in your future for an Ivy League" he told me as my mouth fell agape. It wasn't my much but still a bit noticeable as my Mr. Hager's smile widened and he tapped the side of his nose "keep up the hard work" he said before turning and walking past the boys bathroom "cut out that racket in there"

     I made my way back towards my room when Charlie stood in the doorway of his room "what was that about Soph? Hager tell you to stop sneaking into my room?" He said leaning in whispering the last bit, not allowing cameron, who was fussing about something as the top of his bed, hear.

   "No actually. He was telling me how he saw you coming into my room this morning" I told him, whispering back as his face dropped. "Yeah something about you facing expulsion but I dont know" I shrugged my shoulders. His face was almost white as a ghost when the corners of my mouth etched up. He visibly relaxed as he shook his head

     "Not funny, Perry" he said as I walked back abit

     "Wasn't trying to be Dalton" I said and moved away from the door towards my own.

     Getiing back to the room, I made my way into the bathroom and began to wash my face. Excitement was beginning to build in my stomach at the thought of tonight
