What's Her Face?: Part 9

“Well here you are, room 32K,” said Miss Lakes as she handed my my key. It felt cold and worthless in my hand, just like this place, also known as Middleton Academy. Why did my mom want me here?
“Thanks,” I said.
“Make sure you don’t loose it,” said Miss Lakes as she walked away. I jammed the key into the slot and twisted. Hopefully, my roommates would be okay.

I opened the door and closed my eyes for a moment.
This is it, I thought to myself. But what was really it? I opened my eyes to a freakishly tall goth girl. This was going to be just great.
“Who are you and what to you want?” she asked. It just amazed me how much black one whole person could wear.
“I’m Haley Robertson, your new roommate,” I mumbled, flatly, and expressionless.
“Oh this should be good,” said the girl, removing her black earphones and getting up from her bed.
“What?” I said, starring at her.
“Take a picture it might last longer,”.
“Okay?”
“Whatever, the name’s Ginger,”. Oh wow. Her name totally fit her personality.
