Chapter 1

Summer's POV

Montello High.

Of all the schools I attended, this is probably the biggest, best and ... well, farthest. Daddy's list of schools seems to have run out so they sent me here. How many times have I been kicked out? It was just my first month as a junior in high school but here I am and I am in another school again. And the twist? It's a boarding school. I've heard a lot of things about this Montello High, and it's not quite good.

The Principal took me to the building on the right side of the school. The main building of Montello High is surrounded by two other buildings: on the left is a dormitory for men and on the right are women. The luxury of the students is obvious in the features of the school. In my case, I don't know how Dad handled that. We went straight inside, no one greeted the principal, some noticed just raised an eyebrow. We stopped at a door on the second floor. It has a bigger interior than it looks on the outside. A beautiful, white, long-haired woman opened the door and let us in.

"This is Summer Leondale, your new roommate," the Principal said.

"Hi. I'm Jamie!" Congratulations on opening the door.

"Mirden here!" Language of woman reading in bed. There are three beds in the spacious room. After a few reminders the Principal left and I went straight to the vacant bed at the far end. I started arranging my belongings.

"You need help?" Jamie asked. Mirden approached as well. I was wondering if she was a nerd because he was wearing glasses and holding a book but when I looked at the book cover ... MANGA! And he reads The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Whoa! I'm expecting Encyclopedia for that get up!

"I can do this." I am not really friendly and sociable. It's Sunday and I'm used on spending it quietly. No people around. No noises. But I think it would be impossible starting this day. These girls seem nice ... and I don't like them.

"It's been a month since class started, why did you just come in now?" Jamie picked up a book I had brought out. "Bram Stoker ' s Dracula? Are you reading this? "He asked a lot of questions.

"It's good that you chose Montello High," Mirden said with a smile.

"I was kicked out. And I didn't pick Montello," I answer coldly. Why? Why are they being so nice? Are the rumors about this school wrong?

"Kicked out? Why?" This Jamie girl would be a good paparazzi. But go ahead. I will just answer his question.

"Because of sending nosy and stupid kids to our school clinic," I replied and looked at them intently.

"Oh. It's almost lunch time. We're going down, ah. If you want us to just go to the cafeteria, ah." The two stood up at once and walked to the door.
