Dark Night: Episode 3 (The Darkest Nights Series) by Stefany Rattles Page A

right now.” He said dryly while I was looking at the huge building a few yards away. “We have an indoor pool, it is by the garden and the dining area of the school which is easy to find. We also have two gyms, one with weights and the main gym. Both are right over there,” He pointed at a building between the school and the dorms, “and the college student dorms are on the other side of campus. You don’t really need to know much about them since you will not be going there for another year but just in case you were wondering.“ He scratched his head and sighed. “That’s it. We are done.” Robert still didn’t look at me. He was still trying to ignore me and was just doing his job, I could understand that. But I didn’t have to like his attitude.
    “ Really Robert? You’re really going to treat me like that? God, I didn’t know you disliked me that much or that my blood was nasty in any way but you don’t have to be like that to me. I get it. I’ll take my chances with the stupid needles okay . Who cares right? Jesus!” I stomped off and left him standing there looking stupid. He was probably not expecting that and the fact that I caught him off guard was definitely why he didn’t say anything back. Thinking I knew my way back inside, I took my chances and retraced my way back and found the main hal. It took me some time but Robert didn’t bother following me or even help, in fact I didn’t know where he was now.
    I ran into Mereily on the way to my room.
    “Mia, you changed?” She looked at my dress and nodded, clearly liking my choice. “Never mind that, we need to go up to my room and start getting ready for the ball it’s at six and we don’t have much time left.” Mereily said, I smiled as a reply and followed her back to her room.
    “My room is down the hall.” I told her.
    “Yeah I already went to look for you earlier but you weren’t. Why is your room the only one on that wing?”
    I knew she would ask. “I don’t know. It’s probably because of Robert.”
    “That is why. Duh, I forgot about him. Oh! Did he show you the school?”
    “Yeah, from the outside. He said it was locked so we couldn’t walk around inside.”
    She frowned. “No, it’s not. The library and the computer lab are in there, they never close. Just in case students want to do some extra studying,” She told me like I didn’t know. “Must’ve forgotten,” She shrugged and went on talking about her teachers and what not.
    I couldn’t believe what he had done. He didn’t want to spend any alone time with me anymore. Fine, so if that was the way he wanted it. So be it.
    I was babbling mindlessly without even noticing when Sophie came in the room. Their room was smaller. They had less space but overall, same look. “Hey, I just got my dress. It’s awesome!” Sophie was holding a box that she laid on a bed and she opened carefully. She showed us her dress and it was pretty Then, Mereily went to her armoire and took hers out to show it off too. Sophie’s was a creamy color, long and it shined in the light.
    “What do you think?” Mereily’s dress was long too. But hers was violet and it would look good on her because of her skin tone and her bright eyes.
    “It’s beautiful. They both are,” It was true.
    “Where’s your dress?” Sophie asked me looking at the dress I was wearing. I realized how different the dress that I had received looked from theirs and wondered why that was.
    “Oh. In my room, you guys want to come with me and get ready in my room?” They smiled and said yes. We walked down the hall, where we heard music blaring from a room and turned to my own little narrow hall where my room was. I opened the door and let them in first.
    “Oh my god, it’s huge!” Mereily looked around like she was entering into her first apartment. Sophie was also impressed as she stood in the center of the room looking around at everything.
    “Huge. Is an understatement,” Sophie told her.
    “I’ll
