As you round the corner revealing your home for the next few years, your heart rate increases.

You'd never been much of a social butterfly, so meeting new people was something you hated. Although something about meeting people similar to you had you smiling like a little girl.

You drive through the black metal gates and find a parking spot outside, before collecting your tote bag and walking inside anxiously.

People are gathered in the quad, huddle in little trios, duos and larger groups.

Considering it's mid year it took some time to convince the board to let you join Nevermore, but after 3 long months you finally got accepted.

So now here you are, standing outside of the Headmistresses door.
She wanted to greet you in person, and to show you around herself.
You weren't complaining though, having someone showing you around was definitely one step closer to getting more comfortable in your new environment.

You read the gold plaque reading "Principle Weems" before knocking on the tall dark oak door and waiting for a response.

"Come in!"
A soft voice spoke from the other side, you open the door slightly just enough to slip through and enter the room.
"Oh hello! You must be Yn Y/Ln..?"
She spoke curiously, you do nothing but nod as you stand in awe of this blonde woman that sat just at the other side of the room.

"Well sit, sit. We must have a quick chat before we get on with the tour.."
She informs you before pointing to the seat infront of her desk, she then goes back to her computer as you sit down.

"Now. You've been accepted into Nevermore quite late in the year.. So I've got a few things to catch you up on, first one being your dorm situation.
As you've joined after everyone had been assigned roomates you'll be by yourself in a dorm for 2 pupils."

You nodded slowly, only just hearing what she was on about. You'd been pulled into a trance as you listened to her voice, a clear British accent lacing her words as they flowed out of her ruby red lips.

"Secondly extra curricular's or after school groups. There are limited choices as most are full or are no longer accepting new members, I'll give you a list of free groups and I'll expect you to pick at least two of them before Wednesday when I come check on you. And lastly, your house. Here we have houses, we hold competitions for prizes at the end if the school year. Each house is in need of one more member, so you have the choice of deciding which one you'd like to be apart of.
I'll attach that to your list of extra curricular activities. The teacher leading that house will be at the bottom, so you get familiar with their name as they will also be your dorm "parent" alright?"
She asks noticing you had zoned out slightly.

"Darling did you get any of that?"
She asks clearly irritated.
"Oh uh, yes..?" You blush slightly at the pet name.
She huffs quietly.

"Shall we get on with the tour then?"
She questions standing up, your lips part as you look up towards her.
"Follow me darling.."
She says walking towards the door, you follow quickly behind her as she opens it for you.
"Thank you.." You whispered stepping out of her office, she locks her door before heading towards the main class blocks.

" 'A' block, which is here."
She says pointing to a collective of classrooms.
"Is the art block, if you have art as one of your subjects you'll come here. Over there is 'M' and 'S' block 'M' block is glasses such as, mathematics and social studies. 'S' block is the science classrooms."
She looks at you.
"Oh, ok." You murmur, she narrows her eyes  as she thinks your not listening very well.

" 'E' block is english, it's these doors here.
It's also botany and Creature anatomy"

She points to a row of doors.

" 'B' block is Music and dance, lastly we have 'F' block, this block is the language's we teach here. You chose to learn french, am I correct..?"
She questions looking at you again, you nod glancing up at her.
"French is 'F3' "
She says still looking at you.
"Thank you.."

"Now shall we go see you dorm?"
She asks walking towars her office, you follow along not wanting to get lost. Your slightly confused as to why your walking back to her office.

"Your dorm is here."
She points to the door next to her office, she unlocks and opens the door letting you inside. You walk in to inspect your space, there's 2 beds, a desk and a 2 dressers.

"Not very homely.." You think to yourself.

"Here's your lists, I'll be back on Wednesday to collect them with you choices. I'll also email you your schedule. Have a good rest of your day Ms. Y/Ln."
Is the last thing she says before leaving you in your room.

"Atleast it's something.." You mutter to yourself.
You go out to your car and collect your things, bringing them back after a bit of struggling.

As you begin to unpack your things your hear a faint knock on your door, you stop putting your clothes in your draw and open the door.

"Hi! My names Carmen, I'm in the dorm next to yours! My roomates name is Ella.. She's busy right now but I thought I'd come greet you!.. What's your name?"
She asks obviously excited.
"Yn. Yn Y/Ln."
You answer plainly.
She grabs your hand and shakes it aggressively, before blurting out more information about herself. You aren't evan focussing on a thing she's saying until she finally decides to leave with a wave and a loud "Bye!!!".

You finish unpacking clothes then start getting your things out to out on your desk, such as a purple crochet dinosaur, your macbook and it's charger, a few note books and some other stationary items.
You then decide to move the two beds together, creating a bigger sleeping area. You remake the bed with your own sheets and blankets before flopping down on it, you look at your list of after school groups and notice "Afternoon artists" you tick the box on that one, after looking for a bit you find an extra curricular. "Girls Softball" You put your name down for that and "bee keeping".

You then look at the houses, you decide to choose "Ophelia Hall". A teacher called "M. Thornhill" being your dorm parent now..

You skip dinner instead going to sleep, as you'd just drove around 3 hours from the airport.
