I followed Alexander and Raine threw out the whole school. There wasn't a moment in time I wasn't nearly clinging to Alexander's big arms for comfort. I was literally like a little kid in a big crowded place and was about to get swept away by people who swept by us.

I could tell that Alexander noticed me feeling super uncomfortable and edgy. He looked to me and stopped quickly pulling us to the side away from other students who gave us mean and ugly stares.

"You have nothing to worry about. It's just like any other school" Alexander told me trying to calm me. I shook my head. 

"Are schools supposed to be so crowded and loud?" I asked. It was really loud. I was actually starting to get a headache. They both looked at me confused.

"Cam have you never been in a real school? Like with actual teachers and actual students instead of nuns and other orphan?" Raine asked me. Alexander widened his eyes and elbowed his sister in the arm hard making her grab it in pain.

"Oww!" She yelled. They both looked back to me.

I shook my head to them. "No. I've only been at a school at the orphanage and it was horrible, that's why this is freaking me out so much, I don't want it to be like it was there" I told them.

I hated the school that the orphanage ran. It was terrible! If you were there even a second late you got a detention for 4 days, if you wrote with a pen instead of a pencil you would get scolded down for 20 minutes, OVER NOTHING! I was probably late about 2 times and they gave me detention for 3 weeks and put me inside the Punishment room all day without food or water for about 5 hours!

They would also make you feel bad about yourself like say that you're too stupid to even be adopted and stuff like you're not good enough. That's a lot of the reason why I'm so insecure about myself. I don't say it much because I think it will upset everyone but I have many like that I'm fat, too stupid for anything, ugly, a freak, and unwanted. Those thoughts run threw my head all day everyday. There's not a second that they don't.

Alexander gripped tighter to my hand for some reason. I looked to him in confusion.

"What is it?" I asked him. He looked sad.

"You're none of those things Camille. You would never be fat, ugly, stupid, none of that. You're amazing!" Alexander told me. I gave a slight smile but not for long. I know he wanted to make me feel better but it didn't really work. My insecurities has literally taken over my life. 

Damit! I just noticed he was reading my mind......Ugh, I can't keep anything private or a single secret in this family.

"Nope" Alexander said laughing. Seriously? I began to laugh.


When we reached a big room with a huge desk and an old lady sitting behind it, I figured it was the Office or Guidance maybe. Raine and Alexander walked up to the desk and pulled me beside them to the lady could see me. Come on. I don't like people, especially when their really old and look really scary! Seriously, this guidance lady looked like she was a zombie or something.

"Hello Raine, Alexander. What may I help you with today?" The lady asked in a low old grammy voice. She had short, white, curly hair that was being pulled back by a head band. She had on glasses that looked like the ones the slug lady wore in Monsters Inc. It was kind of funny. 

"Hello Mrs. Walker, we need Camille's schedule. She is new to the school and she needs to know her way around" Alexander told Mrs. Walker. She smiled to me and then spun the chair she was sitting in around.

"Yes, your parent's called a couple hours ago saying that she was coming in with you. They asked us to give you every class, but we couldn't. You have PE, Lunch, Art and History together, but not English, Math, or Science. That's the best we could do in such short notice" Mrs. Walker told them. They both smiled and walked off with my by their side and a slip of paper in Raines hand.
