The Ladies in Class Academy

Whole new set of rules

Chapter one

I walk through the streets of Condan I am in search of food. I am even considering stealing a loaf of bread how did I get so low? I must look like an orphan with my blond curly hair all knotted and clumped. I get the hair from my father. It's in a low bun to keep if from getting in my way, although some strands fall down into my face. My green eyes I assume are from my mother. I walk past the bakers and quickly grab a loaf I try to hide it but it's hard to hide things in trousers. Skirts are much easier.

"You boy!" A man yells

My eyes widen bloody hell I have been caught. I take off running into an ally way. Can't believe he thought I was a boy. But maybe that's a good thing he will after all be looking for a boy. I make a sharp turn and grab someone's dress off the laundry line. I quickly put it over my clothes. I put a scarf over my head to hide my face and unruly hair. The man passes me and doesn't notice me. I take the scarf off and just as I did he turned around and saw my face. The next thing I know he has jumped onto me and is holding me down calling for an oppressor. I will surely loose a hand if not my head for this. I struggle but the man is fat and holding me down. That's when I give up I look at the ground as people walk past me. Suddenly there was a pair of proper white ladies shoes in front of my face.

"Dear kind sir won't you let her go? She is no use to the oppressors dead." A very young but formal voice said

"He will run" he grunted. Jeez is this man blind? Or just stupid, judging from his voice I am going with stupid

"She will not run. Not from a lady she won't."

The man didn't move

"Sir I will not ask again" she said sternly

"What are you gonna do?" He laughed

"Nothing you will like" I heard skirts move so the side

"Well I am not movin'"

"Very well"

Wack

The man fell off of me.

A hand was extended my way.

"Rules number one and two a lady always brings an umbrella and should never ask for or about anything twice"

"Who are you?" I managed to get out

"Oh what poor manners I have; I am Miss Laclare, headmistress of Ladies in Class academy"

"A-and why are you here?"

"You're my new student, now we must be on our way." She started to walk off I was dazed but ran to catch up.

I catch up to Miss. Laclare and find myself in front of a carriage. Immediately someone opens the door for her and extends his hand. Helping her in, then the gentleman puts his hand in front of me. He has short brown hair and pale blue eyes. His face is odd it has a long scar that goes from his forehead down his neck. I notice I am staring and look down at my feet. He bows slightly. Bows to me, I laugh at myself and think why would a man bow to me? I go to grab his hand for him to help me in that's when I notice his hands are covered in a white gloves. I then look at my own hand black from living on the streets I rub my hands on the stolen dress I am still wearing and grab his hand. I step into the carriage and hold back a gasp. The interior of it is a soft purple with gold trimming. I sit down across from Miss. Laclare.

"So Sarah tell me about you" she said looking at me expectedly

"If you know my name I am sure you already know all about me." I said pointedly

"I doubt that I only know what my people tell me." She smiled kindly "now tell me about you"

"I am hungry" I stated simply
