Novi Mundi (new world)

School...(Chapter 8)

{James}

I walked out of the house with Tori standing beside me. Her eyes were now a pure gold colour like a reflections of the sun. She really was beautiful, even when she was looking like someone else. The one thing I hadn't considered was, how I was supposed to concentrate in class with her sitting next to me.

I walked to school with her on my heels. I have never seen anyone so excited for school. EVER! When we came closer to the school I started to think about how I'm going to get this plan to work. Before I knew it we were outside the administration office. Now came the hard part. "Hey Mrs Broad this is Tori, you know the student who is going to be joining me at this school for a while." The lady looked up from whatever she was doing on the computer and looked Tori up and down. Tori just stood there and gave a nervous wave. Mrs Broad looked down at her and muttered something about Mr Quinn seeing us in a second.

After a while of sitting awkwardly in the waiting room, Mr Quinn came out and gestured for us to come into his office.

I flash Tori an encouraging as we head into the office. "So Miss...Tori is it?" Tori gave a hesitant nod. "It seems that everything is in order. You shall follow Mr Lee around to all of his classes, here is a copy of his time table so you know where you are going and what's happening. I expect Mr Lee with make you feel welcome." With that and gestured for us to leave.

Whoa, that was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. They accepted me just like that... What a strange place this is. James led the way to class, first we have English. We sat down in a big room with the chair desks sitting side by side in 3 rows. There were about twenty other students in the room who all looked similar ages. They were sitting all sitting and talking about different things. As I was looking around the room I saw a girl and a boy stand up and wave at James and I. The girl started tapping on the desk next to her and James started to head over. I followed nervously, unsure of what to do. But the girl just smiled and lent over the desk, offering her hand. I cautiously shook her hand and shot James a 'what do I do' look. The girl just giggled at my confusion "Hi my name is Emma and this is Rob."

I was about to introduce myself when the doors of the classroom flew open and a tall thin woman strode through the door. Immediately the classroom went silent as the woman made her way to the front of the room. "My name is Mrs Vinodh and I will be your substitute for today." Her tone was assertive but not unkind. "Now these are your new books that you will be studying this term." She said as she began handing out books to each student. They were quite old and smelt musty, the smell reminded me of the old library that I used to spend ages reading in. Then all the nerves seemed to vanish and I felt comfortable from this small amount of familiarity. Then I looked closer at the book sitting in front of me. Gulliver's Travels. I've read this book recently, it's one of earths classic. I didn't feel as different any more.
