CHAPTER 13: READY

Alicia had heard that each room in this hostel contained about 3 students each and that each room had a spacious bathroom and restroom but then a general one was provided on each floor for the students in case of emergency.

Alicia quickly washed her mouth and took her bath in a hurry as she was almost late,as soon as she was done,she wrapped herself up in a white towel before coming out and heading towards her wardrobe to rumage for a nice outfit,she could see that Sophie was still asleep and Tammy was just sweeping the room.

All the while Alicia was rumaging for a nice outfit for her first day in school,she kept thinking if she should have her breakfast before going to the hall or when she came back,she looked at the time and it was already 21 minutes past 7, meaning if she were to have breakfast now she would obviously be late for the meeting.

After searching for a while, Alicia finally found an outfit,she hurriedly dressed up before putting on short white socks and dazzling white sneakers,she tied her heavy mass of hair into a firm Royal bun before styling her edges,she then put on her necklace and few accessories before she walked straight to her bedside to scramble for her white duffel bag to hang across her shoulder.

All the while Alicia was dressing up,Tammy had stopped sweeping and just stood to stare at her,her eyes glued to the latter as she wondered how someone could be this good looking and the dress she was wearing,oh lordy!!!!!

Alicia was a vision in her loose short green gown that swayed seductively as she moved, the Hem of the gown barely brushed her tanned thighs revealing just enough of her flawless legs to tantalize and intrigue,the deep shade of green was a perfect match for the enchanting hues of her sea green eyes drawing the gaze of anyone who would behold her,the sleeves of the gown were long giving her the appearance of a siren emerging from the sea,her movements both sensous and alluring,she was a symphony of elegance and beauty and Tammy for once in her life wished she was a boy so she could woo her.

Alicia after contemplating for a while decided to have breakfast when she got back to avoid being late,the sky had already lit up brightly enough now and the hostel lights had just come back on with the fans in the room continuing from where they stopped last night, Alicia had read all about the Hostel Hall 3 girls in her Kofa and she'd seen that the lights were to go off at about 11:00 pm in the night,to come back on by 6:00 am in the morning but it seemed something had happened today and the lights had to come on around 7:00 am, although Alicia would have preferred the uninterrupted power supply but that entitlement were strictly for the big guns on campus who resided in specially reserved and expensive hostels, hostels whose monthly fee were dragging with Montgomery tution fees on it's own.

Alicia could hear the faint voices of other students in the hallway,all preparing for lectures and she once again felt the thrill bubble up in her again as she looked out through the window to see students already filling the school ground.

"Okay I'm ready" Alicia said facing Tammy as she wore her white teddy duffel bag across her shoulders that were matching with her sneakers and the dress matching with her eyes.

Tammy smiled before scrutinizing her from her head down to her toes. ' Ok,she was gonna give Montgomery boys a hella hard time!!

"Ok then let's go" Tammy replied before standing up and walking towards the door,since Tammy had no class that morning,she'd offered to walk Alicia down to the theatre arts hall since she had no idea in where the place was.

As they stepped out of the room into the Hallway, Alicia saw that many other doors were wide open,the girls were sweeping and cleaning up their rooms for a new day,while the hallway itself was bustling with girls either wrapped in white towels or still in their pajamas,only few happened to be dressed, Alicia seemed to also hear some music either coming from the next or uppermost floor,the sight was so intriguing and mind blowing that Alicia immediately thought of that cartoon ' Barbie princess charm school'

Alicia's eyes darted towards the first utility room on that floor,she could smell the scent of fresh coffee, pancakes,bacon and even eggs and if she wasn't mistaken,she could also hear the sound of something being deep fried in oil, Alicia's stomach grumbled upon inhaling the mixed smell of different food.

Well it didn't take time before the girls in the hall started to notice Alicia because of her exceptional looks and the moment she realized all eyes were beginning to settle in her,she was quick to pick up her pace and run behind Tammy.

Alicia hurriedly moved and walked side by side with Tammy until they got outside the hostel.

As they walked,the two engaged into a light conversation about themselves with Tammy asking most of the questions and Alicia just meekly answering.

The theatre arts hall was quite a a really long trek from the hostel but time seemed to pass like a whirlwind because of their discussion and also because Alicia was lost in admiring the school.

Alicia's new home was no doubt a veritable Eden of academia ,it's sprawling grounds,a testament to the grandeur of human achievements,The quad was a lush green space that soothed the soul with it's serenity,dotted with majestic trees that whispered stories of days gone by,the architecture a mix of neo-gothic and modernist influences struck a perfect balance between tradition and progress,each building a masterpiece in it's own right.
