Switched Up

2-I: Who's that?

Sam, Jack, and Oliver woke up the next morning and got ready for the presentations that started at 9:00 a.m.. They put on casual clothes—Sam had to borrow Oliver's clothes again—and headed back to the library where the presentations were being held.

Sam's stomach growled on the way over.

"Ugh. I'm starving. We didn't even eat last night."

Oliver let out a small chuckle.

"We were too preoccupied with figuring out our situation to get dinner," he said.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry guys. You missed dinner because of me."

"Sam, don't worry. It's totally fine. We get to eat after presentations," said Jack.

"I can't wait to try their food! I heard that it's amazing here," said Oliver.

Sam smiled at them. She was happy that Jack and Oliver were the people by her side at that point in her life.

When they walked into the library, they noticed that the setup was different from the previous day; the tables originally in the center were moved off to the sides and rows of chairs filled up the space instead. Some of the faculty members got ready to present at a table in front of the chairs. The trio found seats and sat down.

The presentations started as soon as the clock struck 9:00. All the students sat attentively, taking in all the information they were given. The presentations took around two hours in total; faster than most of the students expected. Before they knew it, they were released from the library with their next task of getting their schedules and eating lunch.

The students were told multiple important points during the presentations:

- Visitors weren't allowed to enter the school. The only people that could enter besides Blue Isle students and staff were rival school's sports teams. Before the rival schools came to Blue Isle High, they were given temporary ID cards that would allow them to pass through the gates and doors.

- Students were allowed to leave the school when classes ended and on the weekends as long as they were back in their rooms by 10:00 p.m., unless there was an emergency and they contacted the dorm manager's office to warn them.

- The town had a variety of places for the students to enjoy. There were places to shop, restaurants, a movie theater, bookstores, and many other places for students to have fun and hang out at. There was also a hospital that students could go to if they were sick or injured and hotels friends and family could stay at if they wanted to visit.

- There were certain days throughout the year where students were allowed to stay out later than normal. For example, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

- The strike system would refresh every new school year. So, if a student had four strikes as a 1st year, the strikes would get wiped out to zero as a 2nd year.

- If students had an unexcused absence at school, it would count as a strike towards the five strikes they were allowed. It would only count as an absence if the student missed the class completely. They would have to visit the class later and get the work they missed during class.

- Students could only be tardy five times per class. On the fifth tardy, it would count as a strike. Any time a student was tardy after that, it would count as a strike.

- There were two levels of classes at Blue Isle High: normal classes and honors classes. The normal classes were challenging and educating for the students, but the honors classes covered more topics and went more in depth with each topic.

- The school had multiple floor levels: second floor was for the 1st year classes, third floor was for the 2nd year classes, and fourth floor was for the 3rd year classes. The first floor contained the library, music room, theater, stage, cafeteria, and the teacher lounge.
