About five minutes later, they all met in front of their dorm building and Skye led them to her car in the parking lot. They were awestruck. It was a sleek black 8-seater SUV with black windows and brown seats.
“Woah!”, Jun exclaimed. “Nice car, Skye ”, Izzy said as she touched the car. “I know, right? This looks expensive. How much did buy it ?”, Roxie asked. Skye shrugged and replied, “Thanks guys but I didn't buy it. It was a present from my parents.” “Well, they sure have good taste ”, Roxie said. Skye then opened the car, they all got in and buckled up. “The seats feel amazing ”, Ari said. “And it still has that new car smell ”, Brynn finished. “Technically, it is a new car since they got it for me after I got the admission letter.” Skye clarified before she started the car, drove out of the parking lot and into the road. “Do you have a driver's license, you know in case we get pulled over?”, Jun asked. “First of all, we won't get pulled over; I drive well. And secondly, yes, I do have a driver's license.” “Alright, cool ”, Jun replied. Soon enough, they were out of the academy gates. As Skye was driving, Roxie asked, “Do you even know where we're going?” “ I'm from here, remember?” Skye responded. “Right, so which mall are we going to?”, inquired Roxie. “We'll have to go to one that has all we need so we won't have to make several trips to several trips ”, Brynn said. “Don't worry, I know the perfect mall to take us to ”, Skye responded. After a while, Reign said, “Ah, I just remembered someone has to get the food.” “Why can't we just order it when we get back to the dorm?” asked Ari. Reign responded, “ Why do that when we are already outside?” “True, so who'll get the food?”, inquired Ari. “ We first have to decide what we want to eat ”, Reign said. “ I want something spicy.” Ari said. “I'm in the mood for chicken.” Jun said. “ Yes, spicy chicken. Let's get Korean fried chicken.” said Ari. “Ooh, that sounds tasty. I want chicken too ”, said Izzy. “ Chicken sounds nice ”, Brynn said. “ Skye?”, Reign called. “Sure, I'll have chicken.” “Cool” Reign said. “Ooh, can we add dumplings?” asked Ari. “Sure, why not? So who wants to get the food?”, Reign asked. Skye replied, “ I'll get it ” “No, you and Izzy are the only ones who know this place well so you need to stay with us while Izzy gets the food”, Reign said. “Yeah, I don't think so. I'm a foreign kid so my parents drove me around in middle school and I only spent one highschool year here. So in essence, I don't really know this city that well.”, Izzy finished. “Oh”, Reign said. “See, that’s the more reason why I should be the one to get it. I know where to get it, how to get there and back.” Skye said calmly. Brynn then spoke, “Don’t worry, Skye. I'll get the food and I'll just take a taxi. Just tell me where to get the food.” “Alright, cool . The name of the restaurant is Asian Eats. It's further away from the mall.” “ Okay thanks ”, Brynn said. After that, a comfortable silence ensued; Ari, Reign, Ari and Brynn were looking out the window while Jun who sat in the middle of Reign and Ari, Izzy who sat shotgun and Roxie were on their phones. Soon, they reached the mall and Skye parked in the parking lot of the mall. They were still in the car when Brynn spoke, “ I'll take a taxi from here to go get the food and meet you guys back at the dorm.” “ Cool, Reign, Ari and I will go and buy the utensils and cutlery”, Jun said. “ Alright, then Skye, Roxie and I will head to the food aisle to buy groceries and drinks.”, Izzy said. “ Sounds good to me ”, Roxie said. As they were about to get down from the car, Reign called out, “ Wait, what if we need to call each other? None of us have any of our phone number” “ Alright then, let's exchange phone numbers.”, Skye said which everyone agreed to and did via name-drop. After that they all alighted. Brynn entered a taxi and headed for Asian Eats while the other girls went into the mall and split up as planned. Skye, Roxie and Izzy headed for the food aisle while Reign, Ari and Jun headed upstairs to the store where utensils and cutlery were sold.
When they reached there, Jun picked a shopping cart and they began walking around the store, checking out the products and looking at the price tags. “ Should we get a white plate, a colored plate, or a golden one?”, Ari asked. “I'm not really feeling the colored plates and the white plates and the golden plate is just too... gold.”, Jun said. “Okay, how about this;we get white plates that have gold designs, the same goes with mugs, tea cups and trays and bowls, then we get black pots with transparent covers, same color for pans and maybe red too” “Not bad, but what about cutlery? I don't mind a golden spoon”, asked Jun. “ Okay then, golden spoons, golden forks, golden chopsticks and chopsticks, maybe throw two or three silver cutlery. The utensils will be black with golden handles”, replied Reign. “I like the way you think but remember that we have to get everything double for both rooms.”, Jun said. “Sure”, Reign replied. So they filled their cart with what they said they would buy. When they were done, they went to the checkout counter to pay for them. They paid by credit card with both Jun and Reign's credit card. Reign explained to the checkout operator how they should be packed; two black pots and utensils in one box, the same in another box, one black pan, one red pan, mugs and tea cups in one box, the same in another box, one set of plates, bowls, cutlery, kitchen knife and tray in one box, and the same in another. The checkout operator did as she was told and used a sticky note to label the boxes according to what was inside. She then called a store worker who wore a white shirt, blue trousers, blue cap and black shoes. She told him to take one of the platform trolleys, place the boxes on it and help the girls take it to their car. The store worker did as he was told as he followed the girls out of the store.
When they came out of the store, Ari turned to the store worker and asked,“Please sir, do you mind if we go to another store to buy some things quickly? I promise we won't take long.” The man replied,“ Go ahead, I don't mind. Just hurry up, I'll wait for you all outside in front of the mall.” “Thank you so much sir”, Ari said. “You're welcome”, the man said before he began to make his way downstairs to the front of the mall. Reign then asked,“ So where do you want to go to?” “The apparel store. There's stuff I want to buy.”, she replied. “ Okay, then I'll come with. Jun, will you join us?” asked Reign. “Nah, I saw a jewelry store on our way. I think I'll go there.”, Jun said. “ Alright, just don't take too much time, we'll be quick as well. We'll meet you in front of the mall where the store worker will be waiting.”, Reign said. “Cool, see you later.”Jun said before heading to the jewelry store. Ari and Reign went to the apparel store where they bought some shoes, sunglasses and headbands. When they were done shopping there, they began to head downstairs. On their way, they met the other girls, Skye, Izzy and Roxie,each pushing a cart filled with drinks and grocery-filled shopping bags. Roxie noticed the shopping bags they were carrying and asked,“Really, you both went clothes shopping?” “ Yeah”, Reign said “And it's not clothes, just some shoes, sunglasses and headbands ”,Ari finished. Izzy, Reign and Roxie chuckled. They made their way out of the mall where they met Jun and the store worker waiting for them in front of the mall. They all walked to the parking lot where Skye parked her car. When they reached the car, she opened the car and opened the trunk. The store worker loaded the boxes into the trunk, after which Skye put the drinks and grocery-filled shopping bags inside the trunk then closed it when she was done. She tipped the store worker, the other girls thanked him for being patient with them, he happily accepted their gratitude, then they entered the car and Skye drove off.

The drive back to the dorm was comfortably quiet. After some time they arrived at the academy and soon after, Skye was parking her car at the parking lot in front of their dorm. They alighted and Skye opened the trunk. Skye told the girls to carry everything to room 204 so they can sort them out there. The girls began to carry what they bought to room 204 while Skye watched over the stuff in the trunk. After a while, they were almost done; Skye then brought the last of the boxes out of the trunk, closed it and locked her car. She reached her room with the box, the door was already open so she entered and closed it. “Is that the last box?”, Roxie asked her. She nodded, then Roxie,“Okay, let's sort them out then.” “Brynn isn't back yet?”, asked Skye. “Nope”, Roxie replied. “But don't worry. I called her and she said she's on her way back.” Reign said. “Okay”, Skye replied. Then the girls began to sort out everything they bought. Ari and Reign took took what they bought at the apparel store to their bedroom, and arranged them, same with Jun with what she bought from the jewelry store, before they came out again. Reign went to sort the boxes with Jun. Each box had another box that the same thing inside so Jun took three of the boxes to their dorm room, 205 and began to arrange them into the cabinets, drawers and kitchen rail while Reign did the same thing in their room. Roxie helped Izzy to carry their own groceries and drinks to her dorm room. She also helped her arrange everything into the fridge, cupboards and cabinets. Skye and Ari did the same in their room. Twenty minutes later, Ari, Skye and Reign were done. Reign carried all the boxes and empty shopping bags and went next door. She knocked and Jun opened the door.“ Are y'all done?”, Reign asked. “Yeah, Roxie and Izzy are finishing up ”,Jun replied. “Alright, since they're almost done, let's carry these empty boxes and shopping bags downstairs and put them in the trash ”, Reign suggested. “Sure, let me gather them ”, she said before going back to her room. She gathered the empty boxes and shopping bags and carried them to meet Reign outside. They both took them downstairs, put them in the trash bin and came back up. They went into Reign's dorm room. Ari and Skye were seated on the couch resting. Jun and Reign sat on other chairs. It wasn't up to five minutes they sat down that someone knocked. Reign went to get the door and it was Brynn so she let her in and closed the door behind her. Brynn entered the room with three to-go bags from Asian Eats saying, “I'm back and I bought drinks too.” She dropped them on the kitchen island. “What took you so long? I'm starving”asked Ari. “Sorry. Looks like the place is pretty famous, it was really busy. I had to wait a while to order plus there was traffic.”replied Brynn. “Okay then, time to eat.”, Reign said. “How about we shower first and get comfortable before we eat.”, Jun said. “I do feel dirty and icky.”, Skye commented. “Ugh, fine. Let's all go shower.”, Ari said. “I'll tell the others.”, Jun said before she got up and her and Brynn went out of the room to her dorm room. “ Okay then, it's only one bathroom so who'll shower first?", asked Reign. “ I think I'll go first ”, replied Ari. “Okay, cool”, Reign said before Ari stood up to go to her bedroom to get ready to shower. When she was showering was when Roxie entered the room. The girls took turns to shower.
After they were all done, Skye and Ari sat in the living room. While Reign brought plates to the living room while Roxie brought the to-go bags. As they were doing this, there was a knock on the door and Skye went to get the door. It was the other girls from room 205 so she let them in and closed the door. They also sat in the living room, looking refreshed after their shower. Ari turned on the TV and put a channel where a kdrama series was airing. Brynn brought out the cups of orange drink and passed it around till everybody had theirs. Skye removed the tub of chicken and plate of dumplings from the to-go bags. She opened the tub, Reign sat down and gave her a pair of tongs. She took a plate and dished herself some chicken. She then gave the tongs to Roxie who sat beside her. She did the same thing and passed the tongs to Brynn. They did this until everyone had chicken on their plates. After that, everyone dug in. They watched TV while eating chicken and dumplings and sipping their orange drinks. When they were done, Izzy asked Skye for help to do the dishes to which she agreed, Brynn and Roxie cleared the table and put the empty plastic cups, to-go bags and tubs into the trash bin while others continued to watch TV. When Izzy, Skye, Brynn and Roxie were done, they joined others to continue watching TV. By this time, it was 5:30 pm. The rest of the day passed by very quickly because they were watching TV. When it was 8:00 pm, Roxie pointed out that it was time they retired to bed. Everyone agreed. They bade each other good night. Ari held the door the door open as the girls of room 205 went to their own dorm room. After they all left, Ari closed the door. Skye turned off the TV. Skye, Reign, Roxie and Ari bade each other good night once more before finally retiring to their bedrooms. When Reign laid on her bed, she remembered she had not called her parents so she did so. Her mum picked up the phone. “Hey mum” “Reign, what happened? I thought you promised to call us immediately you landed.” “I'm sorry mum. I totally forgot ” “Ah, it's alright, so how are you? Is everything going well? Are you all settled in? Do you have any roommates?” Reign chuckled before saying,“Mum, mum, slow down. One question at a time.” “Sorry, I'm just excited but answer ” Reign laughed then replied,“ Well, let's see. I'm alright. I'm all settled in. Everything's going well so far. And yeah, I have roommates. We share the same dorm room but have separate bedrooms. They've been really nice plus I even made friends with the girls next door.” “Really? I'm so happy for you. So what did you today?” her mum asked. “Nothing much. I just got registered, arranged my stuff in my bedroom, went shopping with my roommates and friends nextdoor and finally ate Korean fried chicken while watching TV.”, Reign finished. Reign's mum laughed then said,“Yeah, nothing much.” Reign then laughed too. “What about dad and the girls?”asked Reign. “Well, your father worked late but he's on his way back and your sisters are asleep.” “ Alright then, greet them for me.”, Reign yawned. “ I will, now go to sleep. I can tell that you're sleepy” “Alright, mum, love you, goodnight.” “Love you too, honey. Sweet dreams.”, she said then hung up. Reign started thinking about how her first day at dream arts academy went and soon after, she fell asleep.
