The man was wearing a greyish blue suit. His hair perfectly slicked back, making the brown color even darker. He looked to be about in his forties, with a few wrinkles gracing his face but in pretty good shape.

"Hello, you're Miss Adriana, right?"

Aria just nodded, not feeling like talking. He seemed nice and was just doing his job, but her social anxiety said no.

"Good, I was instructed to give you your locker key and some other things, but you still need to go to the headmasters office."

The man handed her the key and some papers, one of which was a map of the university. After that the man excused himself and seemed to run off in a hurry. Adria looked over to aunt Wren, she shrugged, having no clue what just happened.

"Well good luck to you kid, I have some business to deal with so Imma scadoodle. Have fun!"

Without a second thought she turned around and headed back to her car. She sped off with a wave and that was the last of her. Adriana sighted, understanding that today will not be a good day. Not a good day at all.

The corridors are making my head hurt. So much help from the map...

The girl groaned, leaning on a wall and trying to decipher the piece of paper in her hands. She could feel people staring at her, which didn't help one bit.

They could help instead of staring, but noooo... I'll figure it out as I go.

With a small defeat, Adriana started walking again, further into the maze that was the building. Still trying to understand where to go, she looked down at the map once again, zoning out and trying to understand it. Suddenly she bumped into a 'wall'.

"Ouch. Look where you're going, dumbass..."

She quietly cussed at herself while rubbing her forehead. Not taking her eyes off the paper.

"Dumbass?"

A deep and a little raspy voice came from in front of her. At this point Adriana was too tired and annoyed to register the wall talking to her. She just sighted, still not raising her head.

"Not you. I'm the dumbass for bumping into you. Sorry about that..."

She said with a sad and frustrated tone and started walking further, failing to feel the intense stare into her back that two dark bronze eyes were causing...

Finally. Adriana managed to find the headmasters office that was now just a door away from her. The girl gently knocked, after hearing a 'come in' she peaked her head in. The room was lavish and big.

"Come in, come in. No need to be shy."

Being encouraged, Adriana walked in as requested and closed the door behind her. There, in the back of the room right in front of a big window stood a large desk. The girl looked around before finally spotting the headmaster, who was putting away a book.

He was tall, his silver slicked back hair framed the man's square jaw. He had a pair of what looked like silver eyes that were staring right at Adrianas small form. This man had an aura that could rule an army.

Aria cleared her throat before talking, in hope to not sound like a squeaky mouse.

"H-hello, I was told that I was expected here? My name is-"

"Adriana, yes, I know. I've been expecting you."

He made his way behind the desk before sitting in an arm chair and signalling for Aria to take a seat in front of him, which she did.

"I am the headmaster, Sir Christopher. You, Adriana, are our only new student this year, so I was persistent of being able to see you before welcoming you into our university."

He smiled. Even tough he looked stern, the kindness couldn't be unnoticed from his voice.

"I have sent you some documents to fill out, marking your interests and dream jobs..."

The headmaster said and pulled out the exact thing he was talking about, after flipping through a few pages his eyes turned their focus on Adriana.

"You want to major in art and literature, correct?"

"Yes."

Adrianas response sounded like a whisper compared to the power the headmasters tone had. The girl wanted to major in the things she loved and wasn't about to listen to anyone saying her dreams are pathetic.

"Interesting, your choice is one of a few that come here..."

The headmasters tone was confusing. Aria could feel her palms that were peacefully sitting on her thighs turn into fists. She was ready to fight for the ability to do what she loved. The fighter spirit was gone as soon as she made eye contact with his silver eyes that glistened.

"Your time table is going to be ready in a few hours, it will be sent to you via e-mail. For now, I would like for you to get settled in the dorms."

Adrianas head was running with thoughts, but the last part hit her like a truck.

"What dorms?"

Sir Christopher looked up with a puzzled face.

"... We have a dorm policy. The rooms are spacious and the houses are mixed genders. You will be placed in a building with three other people. Your mother especially requested for your housing here at school."

Adriana felt her body boiling with anger.

This was mother's plan all along.

"I am sorry for the inconvenience miss Adriana, but we cannot change it anymore. I hope you understand."

If I make a scene, my chance of invisible life will be ruined.

"It's... Fine. Thank you for your hospitality." Adriana smiled, in hopes to mask the anger for her mother that was about to spill out. "I will get going then."

"Yes, of course." Sir Christopher nodded and handed her the key to her dorm. "You will be staying in building two, the number is on the keychain plate."

"Thank you. Good bye."

Adriana stood up after taking her things and zoomed out of the office. Hoping to get a hold of her emotions.
