PENSIONNAT - VERSION ENGLISH - BOOK FINISH

I was getting used to the class as well as the school. And I even thought it was better to be here than at home.... But you see, even as a Ghota, we had obligations.
As I said, there is a community, a WORLD, where the Ghota live. And we, as a newcomer, had to make our "official" entrance.

That's why, every year, a ball was organized in the establishment. It took place on Easter day. At the same time, the "Renewal" was celebrated.
At the end of this news, we had all received a notice, where a regulation was imposed to us, for this famous evening.

Rules :

*It is strictly forbidden to steal, pierce or throw yourself during the evening*.

*Any deformed material will be automatically refunded by the accused*.

*Any discrimination against the Homis present will be immediately dismissed from the school*.

*Homi money is not allowed*.

*Presentable dress is required

*Courteous and appropriate language is required* *Touching the school is strictly forbidden

*Touching the Fountain of Truths is strictly forbidden* *Dormitories will be closed

*Dormitories will be closed until 11:00 p.m.*

*First years are required to present their admission papers at the party, signed by their parents. Without it, they will not be admitted.

*The party allows human parents to participate in the entrance of their child. To do so, they must call: 005666888 and register*.

*The party committee ensures a permanent protection of the whole school*.

*The party committee wishes you a happy evening*.

- A party that will mark our entry into the world of GHOSTS! Max shouted excitedly.

- Calm down Max. This is an extremely important party for the Ghota. We can't afford to make a mistake. Some people get a "patron" until they graduate, others can secure a government job! This is a party to be taken seriously.

- That's strange..., Max remarked. We haven't heard the wrath of "Miss Ella" yet.

- No. I don't mind the idea of a ball. It's just that... I think I'm getting a little stressed...

But before this famous ball, we had the right to our vacations. A well-deserved vacation, I thought. It would allow me to relax before this evening, but more importantly, I would finally be able to talk to my mother about all this. To know what she thought about it and if she knew about the whole thing. The Ghota, the blue blood, this hidden society of humans...

- It's funny though..., I thought.

As I walked towards the big gate, to wait for the bus, I thought about my return, about how I had apprehended it... It took almost a month before I finally started to appreciate this "boarding school". It was weird. I felt like I FINALLY belonged.

I found Max and Grayce in front of the tree. The weeping willow that had opened the real door to Exila for me. That was where we would go to catch the bus. First years weren't allowed the Ghostly mode of transportation. To hear Grayce tell it, it was the most awesome mode of transportation she knew! While waiting to move on to the second year, we had to go through the tree. It would make us appear in front of the school gate.
