A tour

Today, I gave Julie a tour of Rose Hollow Academy. We started at 4:30pm outside R.H.A. "Okay!" I said. "I'm so excited." Julie said. "First, I'd like to tell you what's around. Lakeside Park is about a half mile to the Northeast. A mile northwest takes us to the Forest Trails. And if you go that way down the road," I pointed, "That will take you to the Movie Theatre and Shopping Square."
I paused. I was out of breath! Whew.
We sat on the steps to R.H.A.
"Now, about the people." I exhaled and grinned. Julie rubbed her hands together. "Well, come on, tell me!" She poked me. "Okay, okay! First, the teachers. Our headmistress Ms. Jordan is 59 years old, and over-concerned about everything!" Julie laughed out loud.
"Don't get me wrong," I continued, "She does care...just too much..."
"Next is Ms. Glendale. Fiery 54 year old Ms. Glendale! She teaches Math, Science, and History. [pause here. but if you look at this linky you can read a story called 'teacher trouble'. it features ms. glendale and natalie.] She gets upset reeeal easy, so watch out." Julie nodded. 'Check.'
"Now 24 year old Anna Moskowitz is the nicest person you'll hope to find! She's our receptionist, as you know. She's so kind and thoughtful! Didya know she's of Russian descent?" Julie's mouth opened in a wide smile. "Groovy, Sunshiny!" I giggled. "Well, Jazzy, next is Tiffany Elias. She's 11, bubbly, bouncy, and my roommate. She has the position of 'sunshine friend' in my book." Julie interrupted, "Ivy, how many positions DO you have?" I smiled. "One for all my friends. NOW! Let me continue...[i am very playful]. There's tons of girls here, but there's only 2 more that you really need to know. The first is Natalie Prince. You know her. She's our spokesperson, or representative of all us girls. She seems to think our thoughts, and then she says them boldly to the nearest teacher! She's loyal, and can, has, and will defend anyone from a pesky bully. The last girl is..." I paused for a breath, then continued.
"The last girl is Brittany Sweet [brittany is briefly mentioned in 'teacher trouble p.2']. She's 12 years old, and she's trouble! Avoid her best you can, because she's a bully. She tries to get you into trouble, and she had the nerve to get water all over Ms. Glendale once!"
Julie nodded. "Sounds great! I'll keep all that in mind."
"So what's been happening 'round here?" She asked. I kicked a pebble. "Pretty much nothing. It's boring here unless you have your besties around!"

It was 4.45pm. I took Julie inside to show her around. The conversations we had are too much to write down! So I'll just write a summary of the places we went.
Lobby: Showed her front desk, Anna, and the comfy leather and suede chairs you can sit in.
Hallways: Showed her locker rooms, showers, restrooms, water fountains, and classrooms
Dorm Level: Showed her where the girls all stayed; restrooms, hiding places, etc.
Top Level: Showed her the gathering room, attic, and party room

And that's about it. Because next, we had to take our showers before dinner started. Then there was homework, and all that fun stuff. We get more and more homework as the school year wanes off! Strange. I only have 1 more week of school, and I'm excited. Oh, the stuff we'll do!

Well, gotta go. So much homework, so little time to do it!

Seeya!
