Chapter Two: Beginning Of Last Senior Year 1

"Oh.. Very true." Jane said.

Just then, their alarm clock started ringing. It was seven thirty! The two stared at each other. The senior boarding house mistress would come to the dormitory in no time. Juliet quickly packed her hair into a ponytail and wore her shower cap. Soon, water started gushing out of the shower which hung just above her. She hurriedly washed up and soon, she was done. When she threw a glance at the direction of the bath, her best friend was no longer there.

"Oh!" She exclaimed, hurriedly mopping her body with her towel. She had to escape the senior boarding mistress at all costs.

"Hey, let's get going." Jane said as Juliet walked into their room.

"You witch! I will deal with you. You dare not leave that door without me." Her friend swore.

Jane laughed heartily. You were dreaming of who? Phillip? Jack? Jake? Jimmy? Which of them?" She asked, laughing.

"Look at you! I am still single. Because I was pictured with each of them doesn't mean that I am dating one of them. Fancy you!" Juliet said, quickly going through her closet.

She turned and glanced at her friend.

Jane was dressed in a short, fitting dress that stopped just a few inches above her knees. Her angelic face was as usual, beautiful to behold. Juliet quickly went through her wardrobe. Failing to find what she wanted precisely, she decided to settle for an ash loose-fitting trouser over a pink crop-top.

"How do I look?" She asked her friend, turning around for her benefit.

Instead of commenting on her dressing, Jane looked at Juliet's flawless face and bit her lip.

"How I wish I were as beautiful as you." She said with sincerity.

"You witch!" Juliet cursed and took her schoolbag.

Jane did the same and soon, they were out of their room.

"Where are the other six formers?" Juliet asked, staring around.

Just then, they heard the every sound they both dreaded; the vibrant footsteps of the senior boarding house mistress! It stood out, and even the first formers could differentiate it from the others after just a few days of stay in the college.

"We are done for." Juliet said under her breath.

"I was about saying." Jane whispered.

"Run." Juliet said and without waiting for her friend, took to her heals.

Jane shrugged and followed. Even though her friend always said that she was a witch, they both knew that she, Juliet, was the real witch. She always had excellent tricks up her sleeves.

Unluckily for them, the senior boarding house mistress was about entering into the dormitory and she effortlessly caught them.

"Hey! You two. Jane and Juliet! You two have come back again. Why are you late? You know the punishment for lateness, don't you?" Old Mrs Lara asked.

"My menses, old Mrs Lara. We are even late for breakfast. And about my friend, I delayed her. I will take her punishment." Juliet said, painfully grabbing her stomach in pretense.
