Dear Hazel Jean-Winchester, welcome to McKenzie Darwin High! Enclosed in this envelope is your copy of the official Student Guide, your new timetable, and a key to your locker! If you have any questions, feel free to pop in at the office - and if you feel overwhelmed by the new environment, don't feel shy to ask a Student Council Member for help!
Have a great term and year,
Principal Dennis Darwin

Hazel sighed. Another year, another town, another school. This would be the 10th school she'd attended in all her 15 years of life, no joke.
Of course, her dad had promised her that this would be the last move and that she had time to settle down and actually make friends this time. She was a little apprehensive about that, though, for her ex-step-brother currently studied here (probably why she was here too) and he wasn't exactly a sugar plum fairy.
But realizing she had no other choice, she stuck her hand into the envelope, leaned against a locker in the empty corridor, and proceeded to read the rules and regulations.
"'Ello, I'm Abby, are you new here?"
A high-pitched Irish voice called out from behind her, and Hazel started. Barely 15 minutes into school and she already had someone introducing themselves. Not bad, Hazel.
"Er, yeah, nice to meet you. I'm uh, Hazel. Hazel Jean-Winchester."
Abby smiled, and extended an obviously manicured hand. Hazel stared at her, then quickly shook her hand because evidently that's what people here did.
"The pleasure's mine, Hazel. Which class do you have first?"
Abby peered at the schedule in Hazel's hand, her long auburn hair tickling the hand clutching the piece of paper.
"Oh you take History too! That's in room number 41, right over there," Abby declared, pointing in some vague direction. Seeing the confusion on Hazel's face, she added, "You're with me, so don't worry about gettin' lost, alright? Now come on, I'd like you to meet some people."
Without waiting for a response, Abby linked her arm through Hazel's and dragged her off as the first bell of the morning rang.
Okay then.
