"Lovely." Veronica sighed. "I'm already late on the first day of school." She ran to the office and waited at the door.
"Yes?" Asked the woman at the desk.
"I'm Veronica Lodge, I'm new here. I was wondering—"
"Yes yes. Principal Weatherbee has been waiting for you. He's across the hall in the room marked 'PRINCIPALS OFFICE'."
"Okay, thank you." Veronica walked across the hall, checking every room just incase that was the one principal Weatherbee was in and somehow she had heard the lady wrong.  The principal ended up being in the room the lady had said, so Veronica felt stupid. She opened the door and stood in the doorway. She knocked faintly, but the man was talking to someone, so he didn't hear. The girl he was talking to had long red hair, and she seemed to be exasperated.
"Be nice to her okay cheryl? I know how you can get—"
"I know. I'm trying to get better okay? That's why I offered to do this."
"Okay, I just don't want her to get stressed one her first day here."
"Hello." She said awkwardly. Surprised that they hadn't noticed her existence, they turned to face her. "I'm Veronica Lodge, I'm new. The lady over there said to come here and talk to you, so here I am. heheheh."
"Veronica!" Said the man, who she assumed was the principal. "I'm glad you're here. I assume you don't know your way around this school, being that you're new and all." He laughed.
"Uh, yeah. I mean, no. I mean, I don't know my way around this school, yeah."
"Great! That's why I have Cheryl here. She's going to be your tour guide." Veronica turned to face the girl with the red hair. Cheryl. She was pretty, with light brown eyes and pale skin. She smiled nervously at Veronica. Why was SHE nervous? Veronica should've been the one to seem nervous. Not her. She wasn't the new girl. So why did she seem so uneasy?
