I got in late last night, the dean recognized my file when I walked right into the door, I was honestly surprised that she was still up. 

When the uber dropped me off yesterday I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful gardens and the lights shining on the cobblestone. I noticed the pool lit up with lights, I was surprised to see no one in it. 

I wake up in a room I'm unfamiliar with, the floors were cold, the blankets were heavy and filled with cotton. It seems that this place has something against natural lighting, There is only one window in this room and it's always facing away from the sun. I don't really have time to explore this room, I would if I could but this isn't college; there is no free will as far as I know. 

I grab my suitcase and lift it onto my bed and unzip it. I grab my high waisted shorts with my mustard yellow crop top, 

*knock, knock, knock* 

All of a sudden there were three shallow knocks on my door and someone opening my door, I was mortified because I was in my lace underwear. 

"Are you Alannah?" A man asks, looking at his clipboard not even looking at me. I didn't answer and that is when he looks at me, now I'm embarrassed. 

"Oh my! I'm so sorry!" He turns around. 

"Please put your uniform on, I must initiate the new student orientation. I cannot do that while breaking one of the most important rules, Male and Female contiguity." I chuckled. I walked over to the ugly sweater looking thing hanging in the brown dated dresser. I grab it and slip it on; this is not going to work. 

"Alright, I'm dressed." I say.

"Welcome to Heltish High boarding school. There are eleven rules we strictly follow and these are 1.) No Male and Female contiguity 2.)- "

"- Listen, I don't really care about the rules, my mother put me here, I'm far, far, far, away from her and that's all I care about. What's your name?"

"Jeremiah." 

"Jeremiah, If I were you, I would close the door behind you." His eyes shine in the light of the window, I can feel him gulp; he's masculine, his shoulders broad and his hair a shiny blonde. I'm frightened being in a place I'm not familiar with and I'm already continuing my behavior. But this is how I have to cope I guess. 

He shut's the door behind him but I turn around and tell him to leave. What the hell is wrong with me? I was just about to blow him. 

The first bell rings, I know it will go unnoticed but I've altered this ugly looking uniform. It made me feel good tearing apart most of my expensive clothing my Mother bought me and creating them into iconic uniforms. I took some pantie hose and paired them with each uniform. 

    I grab a backpack and regret my decision of leaving early to come to this school because everyone here looks... creepy. 

I look down at my paper while walking to see where my first class is, but I just can't see where that is and I-

I was suddenly launched onto the floor, my ass hitting it hard. 

"Ouch-" How embarrassing, running into the wall on my first day- 

"Are you alright?" I heard, I look up noticing the beautiful specimen in front of me, his attention was completely focused on me and mine on his. His hair flows perfectly, his jaw bone structure is amazingly aligned, perfectly symmetrical, his eyes are a reddish brown, his skin, a pale color. He outstretches his hand, offering to help me up; I take it and he puts barely any effort  to lift me. 

"Desmond," I stare into his beautiful eyes, 

"I'm sorry what?" I ask. Lost in his eyes, they're trying to tell me something but I just can't grasp it. 

"My name, It's desmond." 

"Oh, My name is Alannah, Alannah Macquoid."
"ah, Irish and Scottish," I just noticed that he doesn't have an accent like the rest of them do. He sounds just like me. 

"Uh, actually American." He chuckled. 

"I meant your name, Alannah is an Irish name and Macquoid is Scottish; Macquoid is actually a lost surname. You don't find much of them around anymore, some people say they're forgotten, other's say people misspelled them and others mispronounced them so it was just easier to change it to something else." If this was anyone else I would tell them to shut up but I am hanging on to every last word with bated breath. 

"Wow, Romeo. Who would have thought you were quite the romantic" A girl says departing from the shadows, she's wearing a type of cloak and a face mask, she slowly claps in applause for his 'performance'  and I snap back into reality realizing I'm holding this man's hand, drool basically coming out of my mouth. I wipe my mouth with my available hand, I remove my hand from his and back up; grabbing my books from off the ground. The students watching the encounter from these two. Someone grabs me and pulls me away from the encounter, I look up and see jeremiah. 

"You know you're breaking the very important rule: No male and Female contact." His face looks upset and irritated. 

"You shouldn't be in this hall, it's not safe for you." He pulls me down the stairs and into the hall labeled '4'. 

"Why is my room in a different hall than this one? Why can't I be in that hall? "

"You came in on short notice Alannah, that was the only room that was open, your mother insisted in this school so she paid extra to get you in quicker. That hall is for students of a rebellion, there level is ' D ' for dangerous. They are Dangerous Alannah don't go up there again. Rule number 2, stay away from level 'D'."
