The alarm goes off.

"First day in your new kind of school, get ready" I said looking out of the window.
I have a shower and I get dressed.
"These should be fine" I think and I put on my black sneakers, a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt and a maroon sweater.

I take my daypack with my books in it and I go out of my room.
I see Agatha and we go to our class togheter.

We enter in the class and we sit next to each other and then the professor comes and the lesson starts.

"Good morning guys"
"Good morning Mrs. Hellings" we said all in chorus
"Today we have a new student in class, stand up please and tell us a little bit about us"
"Well, I am Kylie Smith, I am 16 years old, and I am from Bath"
"Hi Kylie, I am Mrs. Hellings, I will be your English and Italian teacher and they are your classmates"

Then everyone presents himself to me

"Hi I am Grace Lans"
"Hey, my name is Matthew White"
"Hello Kylie, I am Bonnie Ray"
"Hi I am Sean Scott"

And everyone presented to me

"Tom, why don't you present too to Kylie?" the teacher said
"Oh sorry, but I have already known her, but however I am Tom Davis"
"That's better Tom" Mrs. Hellings said
"Okay let's start with the lesson"

We have done italian, I like that language, it's really beautiful.
We finished the lesson and we were free to play sports or to do activities.

I was walking trough the hall when someone takes my arm and I am in a storage room.

"What do you think to do?" a voice said it was all dark
"What? Who are you?"
"Doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you are trying to go trough something that you can't hold"
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't be silly, you perfectly know what I am talking about, and you know me better than everyone does"
"Tell me who are you"
"No, if you continue to get through my affairs, you won't live until your 17, understand?"
"If you think you scare me, you don't know me"
"Go away, now" the voice said

I didn't want to waste my time with magic events, but I saw that a lady was coming to me, and guess who was? Ginevra.

"Hello Kylie, can I talk to you?"
"Yes Ginevra, let's go to the school library"
"Yes"

She follows me and we sit on the library's couch.

"Kylie, he wants you to pass to the other side"
"He who!?"
"Keep calm, I know you heard the voice 5 minutes ago"
"I won't ask you how do you know that, but you have to tell me whose voice was it"
"I can't, but I will show you a thing, tonight"
"Well, you are the only one that I trust about it, what do I have to do?"
"I will stay in your room, and at 11:55 p.m. we will go to the garden"
"But Ellie told me that I can't go in there"
"Did she tell you why?"
"No, she didn't"
"Well, as I suspected, doesn't matter if you can or not, tonight you will follow me to the garden, because I have to show you a thing and I can't wait any longer, there is no time"
"For what?"
"August the Terrible is back for you Kylie, he won't stop until you will pass to the other side"
"So I think I'll have to take my book with me"
"Yes you are right"
"Okay, I will come, I want to know what's next"
"Kylie, you are a very strong and brave girl, you must promise me that even if the world will fall, you won't give up and let nobody down, okay?"
"Okay, I promise, now let's go to my room, we need to get prepared for tonight"
"Yes"

We go to my room, and I see Agatha and Tom walking in front of us, they look at Ginevra and so does she with them. We surpass them and I feel Agatha's eyes on me, I want to know what they are hiding me, but now I want to focus on Ginevra and on tonight.

"Kylie, take this"
"What's this?"
"It's a black cloack, I don't want no one to see us going there"
"Okay"
"So we must take the cloacks, your book, my bag and a glove"
"Why a glove?"
"We will need that when we are there, now put your cloack on and let's go"

We go out of my room and I close the door, I pay attention that nobody is following us.

"We are there" Ginevra said
"Okay, let's start"
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, I am, let's go"
