The sun was setting and the sky was of orange color, the clouds were pink and purple, a windy breeze made the leafy trees dance. All of this in the city of Tanin.

It was the hour for school to end and for all the children to go home. The reason why there were many vehicles making their way through the streets.

In the school Courteous, all of the children were anxious to leave the learning institution, but the teacher was not at all stopping her lecture. The last subject was History.

Sitting on the teacher's desk and holding a book, was Miss Lean, "As it has already stated ,more than a thousand times, the person who founded our city is Tanin Seniripic. A woman who was recorded to have the kindest personality. She gave shelter to the homeless during the winter, gave food to the hungry, and money to the needy. Apparently she was from a very wealthy family, this allowed her to help everyone."

A strong burst of wind blew the windows open, giving the children a fright. The girls jumped and screamed, and the boys had faces of shock. There was only one child who made no reaction.

The teacher closed the window, this time securely, and continued, "Tanin died by being pushed off the dock in the lake Limni. Some say that it was a murder, but others say that it was an accident. Tanin never arose from the lake and none were ever able to find her body, even to this day." Her history lesson ended there, "Any questions?"

One boy from the class raised his hand and stood up among the group of students. He was the class joker and the laugh of laughs, "If they never found her body does that mean that her ghost is still in there?" he grinned when the girls in his classroom, minus one, squealed in fright.

"Mr. Cort Doodle, sit down and do not ever open your mouth again for the rest of the lesson." Miss Lean said crossing her arms and tapping her foot on the ground disapprovingly. Cort laughed sheepishly, but not at all guilty, and sat back down on his chair. The older woman looked back at the whole class and closed her book, "Tomorrow we will have-"she was interrupted by the sound of the bell.

The glorious ring made the whole classroom erupt in loud cheers of joy, and soon they were all rushing to the door in happiness.

They all stopped when Miss Lean yelled so loud that the children thought it was able to reach all the way to China, "SHUT UP AND SIT BACK DOWN!!!" all of them obeyed her orders and went back to their seats, fearing her wrath. The teacher sighed and pointed at a page in the history book, "Don't forget to do an essay about how the founder of Tanin found our city, okay?" nodding furiously, they continued their zoom towards the door.

When the classroom was empty, Miss Lean stretched her arms and started cleaning the black board. When she had finished, she turned to arrange the papers but saw the most polite girl in class. The only one who didn't squeal in fright at Cort's joke.

Her eyes a bit wide, she stared at the young girl, "Oh, Miss Alkrisma, you startled me."

The girl had ice blue, straight, and long hair that reached all the way to her lower back, and kept with a nice white ribbon that was tied on top of her head. Glittery white eyes stared back at Miss Lean's own brown eyes. Snow white skin was covered by a white summer dress with light blue flowers running all over it, and an Ice blue cardigan with no buttons. Covering her small feet were sky colored flats with a silk like design and a cute white ribbon on the ends.

The young girl looked sorry, "I'm ever so sorry, Miss Lean. I had no intention of frightening you, I had just wanted to ask you one little question..."

Sweet and polite girls like her were very rare now a days, "Okay then, shoot." The little girl's eyes shined in happiness while the teacher continued on with the sorting of papers.
