CHAPTER 2: “DJ Ki-a-ra!”

CHAPTER 2: "DJ Ki-a-ra!"

Greta's POV

"Ok this is one heck of a school I'm pretty sure I've walked the same halls trice now," I say into my phone which is on selfie mode. Yes, I cast my life well part of it so sue me, will you?!

"I don't even know who to ask for directions". Now I'm getting the same weird looks I've been getting from people since I got here.

"What?" I ask them and they turn their faces away.

"Never seen a girl cast her life before?"

A loud screechy noise is heard from the public speakers before the voice of a woman clears it up. I'm assuming she's the principal cause the hallway becomes dead silent.

"Good day, students!" the woman's voice says and a collective greeting is made by the students. It sounded something like "Good day Principal Vera".

"I hope all freshmen are settled in?!" I swallow hard with the feeling of being watched and I am proved right when- as if on cue-all heads turn in my direction. Even some chic with bags of her own is staring at me with this look which I interpret as ' Just so you know she's talking to you bitch!'

And I'm like 'You have bags too'. Yeah, I matched her stare-now-turned-glare with one of my own. Some talking snaps me out of my stare down and the girl smirks in victory.

I roll my eyes before the realization hits me as I catch the last words of Principal Vera. Ok, I didn't catch her last words it was more of bits of her last sentence and I got... "Roster....notice board.....hostel entrance.....sections.... 2 pm...don't be late".

So, turns out I'm terrible when it comes to listening to people who are passing out important info. I mentally face-palm myself.

"Crap!" I exclaim out loud and in case you just somehow happened to be wondering then yes I received a few stares most of which were glares and yes I gave them my superficial fab-fake smile.

I run hauling my bags. Nope, I had to get to that notice board first. I'd seen it earlier and it was blank except for the lil poster that read "Welcome To SH!" with a lot of emojis, stickers and glitter. My first thought-actually a question-was 'How can a lil' poster contain so much with just barely three words?'.

Believe me, I was beyond confused then it hit me 'It was probably made by a sophomore'.

I snapped out of my thoughts to swiftly make a right turn and voila there was the notice board like five feet away. I could see the over pretty- I'm trying to be nice here- sparkly lil' rainbow vomit-well at least I tried- still there with the same three words.

"Well," I said with a shrug making my way to the board "I get to see it first".

"Trea?!" I exclaim thankfully no one is around to glare at me.

"What kind of name is that? It's like they replaced the last e in the word tree with an a. Hold up" I check the list again just to be sure.

So, ladies and gentle dorks (no offence) the roster read...

Third Person POV

...and the list goes on and on and on.

Trea arrives, then Kiara, Valeria and Ariana, Brenda and Katie, then Diana. In a few seconds, there are a whole lot of students pushing and struggling.

"...my roomies and I are in" Greta gasps "The same section?"

"What!" she exclaimed and everyone turns to her with annoyed looks on their faces. 'Well that's not new' she thought as they all ignored her some rolling their eyes.

At least they'd begun to disperse leaving a few students some just lingering around others taking selfies and whatnot.

"Alright!" Kiara exclaimed earning the squashed-up and still struggling students' attention "...oops!" she muttered turning her face away to avoid getting recognized.

But too late students began murmuring and pointing until a redhead exclaimed "Isn't that Kiara...the teen DJ?!"

And a bunch of other questions followed.

"What's she doing here?"

"Is it her?"

"Is she a student here?"

"Omg! Let's get an autograph!"

"I want a selfie!"

"No, a video would be better!"

"Just five seconds!"

"Okay," Kiara says to herself as she quickly scans the roster. "I'm in room 2 with Emily...that's cool...gotta go now", she says sprinting off as fast as she could though hearing "awws" from fans.

Greta rushes out from the cramped-up students "DJ Kiara!" she stops to look around.

"DJ Kiara!" she yells as she makes her way to a group of girls chatting excitedly.

"Where'd she go?" she asks the girls who look at her like she's crazy which she seems to be at the moment.

"Oh no! I could've met her and...she was right here. Greta, you blew it..." she trails off as she goes to go get her bags where she had left them.

"Anyway, she's in this school so I could probably run into her some other time".

"Ok...room 5 gotta go," She says as she sprints down the path leading to the hostel entrance.

Meanwhile, Trea stares at the list with a blank expression "Greta...Kylie... Hiara? Hi-a-ra Obi-Anderson..?"

"That name sounds super familiar...just can't remember where I heard it".

"Oh well," she says with a shrug "Room 5 let's go Tre".

~~~~~

"Ari guess what?" Valeria asks Ariana who isn't paying attention.

"What? Sorry, I'm still recovering from a meeting..." She puts on a fake smile, battering her eyelashes "...Mandy".

Valeria rolls her eyes "Whatever forget 'bout her okay".

"Soooooo...." Valeria nudges her in the ribs and Ariana sends her a glare to which she laughs "We're roomies!"

"Really?" Ariana asks brightening up "Squeee... hold up..." she says turning away from Valeria and moving into the newly formed crowd at the notice board.

"Excuse me...coming through," she says squeezing past the chattering girls.

She checks the list and turns around making her way back to Valeria. "Val...

Kiara Obi-Anderson is our roommate!".

"What?!" Valeria exclaims and immediately puts her hand over her mouth.

"Kiara as in DJ Ki-a-ra?! Omg!"

Ariana looks around "I think she was here a minute ago...she's probably left to check out our room".

"Then what are we waiting for?" Valeria asks and Ariana shrugs in reply.

"Let's go already!"

~~~~~

Brenda squeezes out of the crowd to meet up with Katie panting "Phew! So we're in room 1 with some other girls in section drama. So let's go set up".

"Chill...DJ Ki-a-ra was just here...do you think her twin will be in this school too?"

"I don't know Katie but what I know is that we need to get settled so by 2 pm we'll be in our sections. They'll probably announce the others later, now let's go already".

"Okay okay!"
