Pirouette

Chapter Five // Room 13

- Ella's POV -

It was finally time to pack my stuff and leave home, I always wanted this day to come but I never thought it would. My dad helped me put my suitcases into the boot of the car then I kissed Rusty goodbye.

"This is a lot to take in" I muttered while buckling up my seat belt as we drove away from home. I looked back but smiled, my life was finally beginning.

"I want you to call me everyday to tell me how you did in class" Dad said, I agreed and turned on the radio.

"If anybody is mean to you, I'll kill them!" He shouted.

"Calm down now. I'm sure everybody will be lovely" I assumed. I was slightly nervous about sleeping in a boarding house and having a roommate.. It'll be hard to adjust to.

After 30 minutes of driving we finally reached the dance school, dad began to cry for the first time EVER.

"Why are you crying dad?" I asked while taking off my seat belt.

"I'm just proud of you, you're going to do so great I know it" He said before kissing my head. I smiled and jumped out of the car.

There were lots of people entering the school with their huge suitcases, I suddenly felt nervous.

Dad gave me a final huge hug then I was alone.. Literally.

I walked up to the huge double doors while dragging my heavy bags behind me.

"Let me get those for you" A posh manly voice said, I turned to see ANOTHER handsome boy smiling at me.

"Oh thank you" I said quietly while nervously fixing my hair.

"Are you starting first year today too?" I asked as he walked up to the reception desk while carrying my belongings.

"Yep! I'm guessing you are too?" He said, I nodded and took my bags from him.

"Thanks for the help, I'm Ella by the way" I said while holding out my hand.

"And I'm Hayden, it's lovely to meet you" He said while shaking my hand. Hayden had a very mysterious look about him.. His hair was dark brown and his eyes were the darkest of black. He was very tall and had pale skin.

Then there was me beside him;

The height of a 12 year old, blue eyes, short blonde hair and covered in freckles from head to toe. 

"Hi! Are you here to get your room number for first year?" The lady at the desk asked, I stood on my tip toes and nodded.

"Yep, my name is Ella Steele" I said while giving her my acceptance form. She scanned it then handed me some keys with a number on them.

"Good luck to you Ella" She said with a smile, I smiled back at her then moved out of the line with my heavy luggage.

Hayden stepped forward to the desk to get his keys.

"Name?" The woman asked.

"Hayden Matthews" He said with a charming smile.

Ella! stop watching cute boys and find your dorm!!

I grabbed my bags and headed out of the huge building, the dorm rooms were in a separate building just down the street.

I struggled slowly down the pathway and into a nicely kept front garden with pink daisies all over. I got to the door where an old lady was standing.

"Floor two is the girls dorms" She said without even glancing up at me, I nodded and pushed passed her.

I felt like I had thousands of weights tied to my arms while carrying three suitcases up the stairs, sadly there were no elevators in the building.

I got to the second floor and found my room..

'Room 13'.
