[First Year Girls' Dorm] Roommates? by Holly Greer

She had thought leaving Wendy behind and not being able to ride had been the worst part about leaving home and coming to Sonora, but she realized she was wrong when she walked into the room designated for "First Year Girls" and found multiple beds filling the space. She stopped short. She frowned.

She had never shared a room in her life. Molly's was across the hall from her now that she was out of the Real Nursery (not to be confused with the Nursery, which was for Cabbage Patch Dolls) and Holly sometimes thought that was too close.

Worse, they were going to be Pecaris, which Chelsea had told her were not known for their good manners and high class values. Holly had no idea how she was supposed to live with one or more of the masses. She just hoped they were from a mostly magical background, because she didn't want to be gawked at just because her mother and step-father were famous. The other kids knowing about them had been fine at her previous school, but that was because they were the sons and daughters of the rich and famous, too.

It was different when her parents were the only celebrities. What if one of her roommates talked to the press about something Holly said in an unguarded moment? Worse, what if they hated her for being rich? Or, what if she had an episode - wait, magic was real, so hallucinations were unlikely. But even if her mind wasn't about to separate from reality, she could still have an emotional episode and they'd think she was some kind of freak.

With no small amount of concern, she hurried over to her glittery pink suitcase and found Paige. Hugging the red haired cabbage patch doll tightly, she perched on the edge of the nearest bed and waited anxiously for another girl to walk into the room.
