Jazzy music crackled through the speakers as it did every time there was an announcement. Lilly tried to ignore it but it echoed in her ears.
"Lilliana Elizabeth Jane Georgias, please see me in my office."
She cringed at the use of her full name. Immie was lucky: she got a nice name. Lilly got a cross of her parents: Lillian + Elliana = Lilliana. Lilly hated it.
She pushed herself off her bed and dusted herself down, stepping to the door and grabbing her scarf - jamming it in the crack by the doorframe. Only she could get in there now. She walked down the hall to the sound of whispering voices and badly held back laughs.

Lilly raised her hand to knock but before it made contact with the wood, it slowly creaked open, a hand on its side.

"Lilliana."
