University starts in three days. I'm excited and a little nervous at the same time. Nervous, because I've just arrived at Mystery Spell and I don't know anybody. Excited, because I can't wait to start classes! My plane landed yesterday, in the evening, and the only thing I've seen of the town so far is this horrible motel room. As I'm exhausted, I could have slept anywhere. Today, I have to settle my registration formalities. For that, I have to go to the admissions office at the university. What a program. I think I've got everything I need for my registration in my little shoulder bag. I'm dying to explore the city, but it will have to wait. I pause for a minute in front of the university. WOAH! What can I say, it's quite special. A surprising mixture of modern and old. Add to that a creepy atmosphere and one could almost believe oneself in a school of sorcerers. For the time being, I'm just going to join a very classical university in an equally classical city. So, 0let's put my imagination to one side for now.

I look at the paths lined with trees and areas of grass. It's pretty but I'm not really the country type. I prefer the bustling of cities. Fortunately, I've come here to study! The campus seems huge. It looks like a neighbourhood in its own right. I hope I don't get lost. I find it without any real problem and push open the doors of the administrative building. But after about fifteen minutes, it becomes obvious. I have no idea where I am. All the corridors look the same, I feel a little lost. Which way should I go? I hear footsteps coming up behind me. A young girl comes forward. She's very beautiful. She's got an eye-catching trendy look about her. I can feel her energy. Unlike me, she seems to know exactly where she is. Maybe she could help me?

> Excuse me...

She strides over to me. Everything about her exudes self-confidence.

??? > Hi, are you here to enrol?

> Yes, how did you know?

??? > It's the only valid reason to being here before school starts.

> I'm looking for the admissions office, but I'm having a little trouble finding my way...

??? > You're new?

> Is it that obvious?

??? > Let's say I haven't seen you around before and I've lived here forever. So, it's not hard to guess.

> That explains why you seem so at ease.

She laughs and links her arm through mine.

??? > Don't worry. I'll show you where it is, I have to go there too... by the way, my name's Sarah.

> Lina.

She takes me to the admissions office. Once outside the door, I take the papers out of my bag and Sarah grabs them. I watch her until she lets out an excited squeal. It startles me and I stare at her with round eyes. She's a little weird, this girl.

Sarah > You're enrolled on the course Myths and Legends! Me too!

> Awesome.

Well I think it is. This girl is mysterious, playful and explosive at the same time. My complete opposite, I'll have to adapt. As they say, opposites attract. Given our differences, this is perhaps the beginning of a great friendship.

Once the formalities are over, Sarah drags me to the exit. I have a hard time following her.

> Hey, not so fast.

Once outside, she drags me along.

Sarah > I have a feeling this new year is going to be thrilling.
