Broken

Chapter 1

I gazed up at the sky blue and baby pink castle above me. Where am I? I was surrounded by groups of boys and girls, all of them seemed to know what was happening. What is this place? Suddenly a someone tapped me on the shoulder. I whirled around, my hand reaching for the sword strapped to my back. Why am I here?... It was a girl. I sighed with relief.
"Hi!" Her voice was highly animated.
I just stared at her. "Ummm..." She faltered clearly unsettled by my sharp blue eyes." You're not from around here are you? You must be the reader."

"Reader?"

"Yeah, from Gavaladon I think"

"Gavaladon?"

"You're not, where do you come from then, you're not from The Woods"

"Uhhh... London?"

"Where's that?"

"England" How had she not heard of London?

"England?" I must have done dimensional travel. I'm in a different world. I began to shake. "Are you alright"

"No... I've traveled to different dimension..." I stammered out, knowing she wouldn't believe me.

"You're in shock, I'll take you inside, everything will make sense soon... my name's Liz by the way, short for Lizabeth." I followed her inside, a sign read School for Good.

"Where am I?" I asked my shaking having subsided.

"You're at the school for good, silly" Liz laughed. " You're an Ever!"

"An Ever?" I asked still very confused.

"It'll make sense in a minute!" Liz gave me pitying look. If there's one thing I hate more than not-knowing it's pity. I don't need it, it's a useless emotion. "You never told me you name."

"Oh, uhh... Ashley. Ashley Whitemoor" We entered the school and lined up ready to get our uniforms and schedules, at least that's what Liz told me, they could be handing out rubbish bags and Christmas cards for all I knew. It turned out it was a uniform and schedule. I looked at mine 'Ashley Whitemoor. Charity 7' Then I saw the uniform, ugh pink, I hate pink.
Then Liz piped up, "I'm in Purity 23, how about you?"
"Charity 7"
"Awww... Too bad, but we can still be friends right?"

"Sure" What can I say? She was growing on me "I'm gonna go find my room, see you later, right?"

"Yeah, see you" I turned and walked down the corridor and up the stairs marked Charity. I got some weird looks, I supposed it was my clothes(above), a low-backed vest top and skinny ripped jeans, everyone else was wearing dresses or suits. I found my dorm, 7 and pushed open the door my two room mates were already in there and had laid claim to the beds nearest the door, that left me with the one by the window. Good. I like the window bed, it had blue silk sheets and about a million pillows. I opened the duffel bag that had somehow been packed and brought with me, even though I didn't remember packing anything. I took out my stele and laptop amongst other things, I could feel the other girls' eyes on me.

"Hi, my name's Lily." one of them said. I looked up, she had medium length brown hair, a small nose and wide eyes, about average height.
"Ashley." I went back to unpacking. The other girl coughed.
"Are you the reader. From Gavaladon?"
I let out an exasperated sigh "Why does every one think I'm from that stupid place where ever it is?" I burst out "I'm from London, but clearly no one knows where that is!" They both looked taken aback. I turned back to my bag and finished unpacking, shoving it under the bed. All my stuff was spread across my bed, I began to put it away.
"I like your hair," Lily said shyly, they were more taken aback than thought.
"Thanks," I tried and failed to sound more friendly. "I'm sorry, I just don't know where I am, what the hell I'm doing here and, by the angel, how did I managed to travel to another dimension?"

"Dimension?" The other girl asked.
"Yeah, what's your name?"
"Oh, Emerald, why do you have a sword?"
"Where I come from I need it"
"You fight?" Lily said a look of horror on her face.
"Yeah"
"What about your clothes," said Emerald
"In London these are normal"
"Oh" I glanced out the window and caught a flash of silvery white, could it be? No. Impossible.
"Hey, Emerald..."
"Call me Em, both of you"
"Uh, Em, what's that school?"
"You really have come from a different world haven't you?" There was wonder in her eyes "It's the school for evil, where the Nevers go."
"Right"
"Anyway we gotta go. Then we come back and get changed" Lily said after a long silence.
We filed into a big hall, half of it was like the rest of the School and the other side was dark and crumbling. We sat down, me earning more weird looks due to my clothing. I ignored them.
A two headed dog walked onto the stage. One head calmly introduced himself as Pollux and the other angrily as Castor.

"Welcome to the School for Good and Evil. Evers and Nevers, we welcome you all. This is the first of three years, for you here. You will be ranked, according to ability, this will affect your role when you finally leave the school and enter the Woods."

"NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I KILL YOU ALL" screamed Castor. A group of evergirls squealed and ran out of the room only to be brought back by one of the professors as Pollux cleared his throat "One more thing... for your first lessons today and tomorrow you will not have to wear uniform, that will be all" We all filed out murmuring and wondering as to why we didn't need our uniforms today or tomorrow.
