Cascade Academy: Chapter 1: Aven

Instructions

Chapter 1: Aven I walked into my dorm. Four kids and me. One from each event. I don't know their names or their event, just that they weren't named Aven and they don't do breaststroke. One of these girls suggested we share names, strokes, and what we want to be when we grow up. We sat down on the floor because nobody had brought furniture beforehand. A girl with curly brown hair started to talk, “Hi,” she says, “I’m Haley, and I swim freestyle. I love doing makeup and want to be a photographer once I’m in college.” another girl with a tight ponytail and athletic clothes starts, “I’m Stella and I swim fly.” She starts, “When I am older, I plan to be an olympian.” I decided to say, “Hi!” I start, not knowing what else to say, “I’m Aven and I swim breaststroke. I love eating ice cream and want to be a professional ice cream taste tester.” There is a giggle from the girl with braids in her hair “I’m Jess and I swim backstroke.” She does a hair flip, “When I grow up, I want to be a fashion designer.” then the last girl stands up, she is wearing a long flowy skirt paired with a flower blouse, “I’m Olivia and I swim the IM.” then she sits back down. “What do you want to be when you grow up Olivia?” asks Haley, “Oh,” replies Olivia, “I don’t know yet.” And that was the end of introductions Our rooms were assigned to us. Each dorm had five rooms. Mine was in the middle. It has gray walls and a window with a bench and storage under it. The closet has a hook, some drawers on the side and two shelves on the top. I had ordered a bed, desk, vanity, and bookshelf for it, and they arrive tomorrow. I have some of my room stuff with me, but most of it will need the furniture. I start by placing some pillows and a blanket on the bench under the window. I fill the storage with some of my books. I have so many, that I still have a full box left over once I finish. The next day, all my furniture arrives. I set up my bed and desk just how I wanted them. I put my bookshelf near the bench, and my vanity by the door. I set up all my stuff and check on my roommates. Haley’s room is makeup filled with pink everywhere. Olivias had posters of absolutely everything, jobs, books, artists, quotes, everything. Jess had lots of books overflowing her room. Multiple floor-to-ceiling stacks. Stella had swim related things and posters. I recognized Katie Leckedy and Michale Phelps. Classes would start up on Monday, and so we got our class schedule.
