Boarding School

When Derek spoke, Diana froze. How did he get in without her noticing? Stupid, stupid, stupid... She looked over to his direction. First the women's razor, now this. There was no turning back now. "Oh- hi Derek..." she said in her normal voice. Her face was a bright red. Caught. She looked straight ahead again, then down at her lap.

Ahh same

New comer- Old timer.

Hi, welcome! Glad to have you here :)

Boarding School

By then, Diana was out of the shower and had put her things away, making sure to hide whatever needed to be hid. She took some time to look at herself in the full body mirror hanging in their room. Wearing slightly big shirts all the time was going to take some getting used to. Thank god she had a fairly small chest. She looked at her legs. These pants were flattering, but also a little long. Whatever company made these wasn't expecting somebody who was 5'4 to wear them.

Diana walked back to her bed and jumped back on it. Facing the ceiling, she quietly talked to herself in her normal voice. "Hello... this is my voice... this is creepy why am I doing this. It's just me in an empty room," she spoke softly. It was nice to finally speak normally, though. "La de da... classes start tomorrow, hopefully those goes well... my best friends are Gretchen and Reneé... I have to wear a school uniform now that I'm at a private school... that's pretty cool... hey, that rhymed!" She sat up and smiled a bit.

Diana turned around and looked down at her little bundle of clothes before looking up at Derek. She blushed lightly and quickly walked over to him to take the razor back. "Thanks," she said softly, not quite meeting his eyes. Then she quickly turned back and rushed into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind her.

Fuck. Why am I such an idiot? She closed her eyes and sighed. If anything else like that happened again, her secret would be out for sure. Diana shook her head and turned on the water. She didn't want to think about that. If her secret got out, she could be called a liar. A phony. A pervert. A fake.

Her life would be over.

She took off her clothes and stepped into the warm shower. As she did so, a bunch of tension was released from her body.

Boarding School

She kept her eyes down and typed up this message for her friends as Derek was changing:

hey guys, sorry for the late reply :) move in day went well. i met my roommate and his friends. they're all very funny and nice

Diana looked back up when he was done changing and smiled. "Yep, just wishing my nonexistent girlfriend a good morning. Long distance relationships, man." She laughed and stood up, sliding her phone into her hoodie pocket. Walking to her wardrobe, she opened it and pulled out a loose-fitting navy blue t-shirt, some casual grey jeans, and boxers. When she was sure Derek wasn't looking, she very discreetly took out a Calvin Klein sports bra and a razor as well. She hid those between the other articles of clothing. "I'm just gonna hop in the shower now," she announced, walking towards the bathroom. In a teasing voice, she added, "Sorry, but you're not invited."

Boarding School

Diana snapped awake when the religious kids pounded on their door. She sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes as Derek snapped at them. "What time is it.. seven?" She groaned. Part of her wanted to go back to sleep, but the startle helped wake her up. "You'd think they'd be more considerate of others, especially considering how early it is." Diana ran her fingers through her tousled hair and swung her legs over the bed, still sitting.

She picked up her phone off of her nightstand and looked at Derek as he mentioned practice. "Oh, you're in soccer?" She inquired. "That's cool. My little brother is in it as well." Smiling, she added, "I'll go to one of your games sometime." She turned on her phone and saw she had received a good morning text from her mom and a plethora of 'how's the school??' messages from her friends.

Boarding School

Back at their room, Diana flopped onto her bed as well. She laid her forearm across her forehead and sighed. "Hey, don't beat yourself up over what happened tonight. Cadence said, and did, some things I know she's going to regret later." She paused to wiggle under the covers of her warm bed. This would be her first night of many spent in this boarding school. Once under the covers, she turned to look over at Derek. Continuing, she said, "If you really never want to sneak out again, that's fine. But make sure that's 100% your choice, not hers. Don't let her harmful flame withstand your water." Diana chuckled at her cheesiness. "That probably doesn't even make any sense. Goodnight."

She turned so her back was facing Derek and closed her eyes. Her body was exhausted, but her mind was awake. Her mind wandered to her family. What are they doing right now? ...Probably sleeping. I bet Gretchen's awake, though. Are Harry and the others awake, or have they passed out already? Hopefully their hangovers tomorrow aren't terrible. Diana's mind slowly shut down as she drifted off into sleep.

Hi, welcome to the Guild!

Boarding School

Diana trailed behind the others, being the last to climb up the ladder. "Alright," she replied to Derek as she began climbing up the ladder. As she climbed up, she took a second to look down across the town. Even though she wasn't terribly high, there was still a fairly nice view. Diana always liked the outdoors. She even signed up for an outdoors class they offered here. That was something she never had at her old school. The more she thought about it, her old school was pretty damn trashy compared to this one. She never really realized how run down it was until she arrived here.

She made a mental note to text her friends in the morning. Her closest friends, that is. Back in Hagsbe, she had two main best friends. They were like the three musketeers. One of them was also on student council. Her name was Reneé. She had soft brown skin and curly, dyed red hair. Her mother had passed away a couple years ago. She was very sensitive and very creative. The other friend was Gretchen. Gretchen was a stubborn girl who one wouldn't expect Diana to be so close with. They knew each other since they were children because they lived on the same street. Unlike Diana, Gretchen was a social party animal. She was also a loyal person who was always there to protect Diana and Reneé from the creeps at their school.

Drifting out of her train of thought, Diana looked back up and kept climbing. She soon approached the top and pulled up the ladder like Derek told her to. Then she stood up and quietly walked back into the building.

It hurt Diana to see Derek like this. She hoped he'd forget about it by tomorrow morning with his hangover. "Yes, don't worry Derek, we're going home now," Diana spoke gently. "I'll help clean you up when we get there, then you're going straight to bed. It's been a long day." Perhaps that wasn't the most 'masculine' thing to say, but she wanted to reassure Derek she'll be there for him tonight. "Okay, Harry," she said as she slipped into the drivers seat. She stuck the key in the ignition and turned on the Jeep. Putting an arm behind the passenger's seat, she reversed the car as she looked backwards to make sure she wasn't about to hit anything. Then she put the car back in drive and made their way to where they had parked the car earlier.

She was doing the route from memory, which made her even more grateful that she didn't have any drinks that night. Every now and then she'd glance into the rearview mirror to see if Derek was doing alright. It was peaceful driving at night, especially now that they were away from the party. If she listened closely, Diana could hear nearby crickets chirping. Before they knew it, they were parking where the Jeep had been parked earlier. Diana took the keys out of the car and hopped out before shutting the door. She waited by the side door for Derek to come out as well.
