Chapter 8

We walked into the corridor, the main double doors already being wide open. As you walked in you could see doors to the left and doors to the right. In the corners of the room were couches, chairs, and tables. More than likely a hangout spot. "Okay students, I'm sure you all are exhausted and ready to get out of those clothes! Let's get you sorted into your dorms so that you may change and get comfortable. To the left are the female dorms and to the right are the male dorms. Please stay in you respective sections at night and be in your own rooms. No staying the night in each other's dorms! After you get your own cottage you may stay with whomever. You will notice doors at the very end of the dorm halls, these are for staff. There are utility closets and the dorm office. Please respect your teachers and custodians and not go back there unless told otherwise. With that...I turn you loose. Please be on time to dinner! Good luck!" She then turned on her heals and walked out of the dormitories hall. We all just stared at each other...not quite sure of ourselves.

As students began to file into there halls me and Zander shared a hug. Not really wanting to separate, but having to. "I'll meet you at your room,okay? Wear something cute that you know will knock the socks off your caregiver." Zander giggled pushing some of the hair out of his face as he talked. He tried appearing confident...but anyone could tell he was nervous. I didn't blame him...I was nervous too. With one more quick hug we went out separate ways. I hung back a second to look around. There were glass doors going straight from the doors we just entered. A garden, a few trees, flowers, benches, and even a box of games sat next to the entrance.

I shook my head ignoring the temptation to step outside for some fresh air. I turned to the doors and began walking to my dorm. 113 was towards the middle of the hall, my name on a white board was right below the placard with the room number. I felt anxious looking at the door. I took a deep breath before slowly opening the door and fumbling for a light switch. As i clicked on the light a gasp escaped my mouth. The room was gorgeous.

A pastel pink rug sat In the middle of the room. Directly to it's left was a day bed, with pillows and stuffed toys on it. In the right corner layed the coffin, a black velvet interior with pastel pink blankets and pillows. I couldn't wait to dive right into it and fall asleep. There was a nice bedside table with a alarm clock, a night light, and a box I couldn't wait to open. A desk stood to the back left, with school supplies already placed where they should be in it. A box of toys and books lay in the right corner near the door. Even a stuffy net clung to the left corner. It felt homey, if the dorms looked this nice...I couldnt wait to see what the couple cottages looked like.

Directly to the left of the door was the closest. I quietly opened the door and flipped the switch next to the door. I once again was left in awe. Every bit of gothic Lolita needs were in the closet. Even my uniform was already in the closet. I quickly began taking off my dress, eager to get into something more relaxation friendly. Id have the next few days to relax and look at the whole school...or even go home to my parents. I found something that said yes...this is me. A pink babydoll styled tank top with plenty of ruffles and a ribbon going across the bust. A pair of matching bloomers went as the bottoms. In a set of drawers I found socks, a long with underwear and bras. I blushed thinking about letting Alaric choose my undergarments. As I pulled on my ruffley socks I thought about what I'd do if I didn't get Alaric as my Dom. More than likely I'd still give whoever I get a shot. If I didn't like them...id report it to Ms.donaven or another counselor. I nodded to myself as I grabbed a hair tie out of the top drawer and tied my hair back into a ponytail. As I was shutting off the closet light I heard a faint knock upon my door. I smiled knowing who it was a quickly opened the door. "Zander! You ready to go to dinner!?" I almost jumped at who I thought was Zander. "Wow! Not Zander Hun! It's Val, Alaric sent me to grab you and meet up for dinner." I looked up at the stalky woman in front of me. Valentine was in what I could only describe as a moo moo and slippers. She had rollers in her hair and a few bandaid looking things on her face.

"Uhm...yeah of course but I was also going to meet up with Zander." She lightly took my hand leading me down the corridor. "It's okay, Alaric is gonna bring Zander and Mathew with him. So don't worry your pretty little head." I blushed at the pet name but continued to walk hand and hand with Valentine. "You have such beautiful hair Lilith, id love to do it for you sometime. Your always welcome to knock on my door if you need anything." I nodded smiling up at her. "Thank you Val, I think I like you already." She laughed to herself. "Glad to hear it girly." We walked into the foyer where Zander, Mathew, Alaric, and another man were already standing. Zander seemed to blush and shy away from this new man and when he saw me he immediately hugged me. "You okay Zander?" He had a hood on, a hooded onesie covered in dinosaurs. "Y-yeah just...met someone I have a crush on already." I giggled. "And you said I was moving to quickly after just getting here." He bumped my shoulder shooshing me. Val seemed to just look down at us with admiration. "Alright let's get going and get some dinner...lil can...I hold your hand?" I looked up at Alaric as he approached me holding out his hand. Both Val and Zander nudged me towards Alaric. I blushed profusely before taking his hand and allowing him to pull me along towards the dinning hall.
