A little bit of elf

CHAPTER 1:
Sophie Brown was in math class, in the middle of a timed test. She finished just as the timer went off. “Hands up pencils down everyone! Tatum! I see you! Please see me after class.” their teacher, Mrs. Stich called, collecting their papers. Kate and Michelle giggled. Then the bell rang. Sophie grabbed her bag and walked to the door where Kate, Michelle, and Alice waited.
“How’d you guys do on the quiz?” Alice asked as they started walking towards their dorm. “I got about two-thirds of the questions done.”
“Same.” Michelle replied, popping her gum bubble with her teeth.
“Half.” said Kate.
“I got all of them done at the last second” Sophie said.
“Wow!”
“Amazing!”
“I told you that you were the smartest in school!” exclaimed Alice.
“Hey guys.” said Ellie as she and Charlotte walked out of science.
“Hey. Sophie aced another test!” Alice informed them.
“Technically, I just finished a test. Not aced one.” Sophie corrected.
“Still!” exclaimed Alice. “That’s great!”
“I think that we should celebrate by dropping by the snack bar.” suggested Ellie.
“But I don’t want to get anything soupy or creamy on my new dress!” complained Charlotte.
“You’ll be fine.” said Michelle as she pulled Charlotte in the direction of the snack bar.
“You guys go have fun. Ellie and I are going back to our dorm. Get me an Aero bar, ok?” Sophie said.

“But we were going to celebrate you!” Alice exclaimed. “If you aren’t going, there’s no point in any of us going.”
“There’s no point in any of us going where?” asked Tatum as she walked up.
“None of your business, now is it.” Michelle replied sternly, stepping in front of Sophie.
“Later guys.” Sophie said as she pulled Ellie away. She could hear her friends teasing Tatum as they left.
“What’d you do that for? I was going to get a Cliff bar. I’m starving.” Ellie asked.
“Trust me. You don’t want to be back there when Tatum is around. It has been getting really nasty lately.” Sophie replied as they arrived at their dorm. Sophie and Ellie shared dorm #217, Michelle and Charlotte were in #214, and Kate and Alice got #219. They all shared a common room, along with numbers 210, 211, 212, 213, 215, 216, and 218. Sophie and Ellie’s shared dorm was by far the neatest, however, Ellie’s bed was exploding with stuffed animals. As soon as they walked into their dorm, Sophie jumped onto her bed and laid down. Ellie did the same. “How can you even lay down with that many stuffed animals?” Sophie asked while giggling.
“Well, I think that I just lay there on them.” Ellie replied, also laughing. As she said that, half of her stuffed animals rolled out from under her and fell off the bed. They both soon were laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt. Then they heard a knock at the door. Still slightly giggling, Sophie got up and answered the door. Their friends waited outside the door.
“Hey guys.” said Alice. “Sophie, here’s your Aero bar. Ellie, I assumed you’d want a Z-bar so, that’s what I got you.”
“Thanks guys! Ellie and I were goofing around in here if you want in.” Sophie replied to Alice.
“Actually, we were going to go do homework in the common room. Want to join us?” asked Charlotte
“Sure!” Sophie responded, grabbing her schoolbag. Once they were in the common room, they were met by Zoey and her bunkmate, Kelsey.
“Hey guys!” Kelsey said cheerfully.

“Hey.” Michelle replied as they sat down on some on the plush chairs in the common room. Sophie opened he schoolbag. The others followed.
“Oh no!” Sophie cried.
“What?” asked Zoey.
“I left my pencil case in the dorm!” exclaimed Sophie.
“Want to borrow mine?” asked Zoey.
“No, it’s fine. You use it. I’m going to go back to the dorm and grab it real fast. I’ll be quick, I promise.” said Sophie.
“Want me to come with you?” offered Ellie, standing up.
“No, it’s okay, I’ll be fast.” Sophie replied as she walked to her dorm. When she arrived, she closed the door behind her. Then she held her hand out towards the door. As soon as she did, she knew that everything outside of it had frozen. Then she pulled her “missing pencil case” out of her schoolbag, then also grabbed her schoolbag. Still holding it, she walked over to the wall that didn’t have a classroom or a dorm on the other side. It had outside. She held up her free hand to that wall. A door appeared. She put her free hand down and turned the knob. On the other side was a whole other world
