________________________________________________________________________________

It's been almost a month since the school fire, and things are starting to look up, but slightly. Most people have forgotten about the fire, Ava and her cronies all got their just desserts for the open physical violence that happened in the cafeteria. And in general, I'm being noticed less, which feels nice knowing that hardly anyone is paying attention to me.

But of course, the happy train has to crash around the drama station, just outside of 'crumbling reality' city. And, but of course, it all started one fateful day, that day being today.

I was told around last week that I would show some transfer students around the school and guide them to their classes, all that jazz. So instead of waiting in a classroom, I'm standing near security, looking for those who I will be chauffering for the day. My impatience gets the better of me as my eyes keep glancing at the clock on my phone, the only change being the seconds that have gone by. Soon, it was five minutes to the start of class, and I started to get antsy, the security guard next to me even asked if I was on something or at least drank a lot of coffee.

But, after I checked my phone for the ten billionth time in the past ten minutes. I spotted a group of three approaching the security desk. The girl in front was around my height with brown hair and bright green eyes, wearing a green t-shirt and black jeans with black converse. The second on the right is a girl with blonde curly hair that mainly rested on the left side of her face, wearing a red dress with black leggings and red heels, and the final is a boy with short brown hair and brown eyes, similar to the first girl by mainly wearing green and brown, a green and brown jacket, with a green shirt, tan pants, and brown hiking boots. They approach us as the security guard spoke.

"Hey there, what can I do for you guys today?" she asked looking over at us.

"Hello, we are here looking for someone to show us around this fine building," the boy spoke up.

"Well, I wouldn't call this a fine building, but I believe I'll be showing around the school" I spoke up as the three looked at me, the girl in red staring me up and down.

"Oh, I should introduce myself first, my name is Dawn," I say then extend my hand, all three looked shocked when I said my name, but it's probably something, but most likely nothing.

"Well, tis fine to make your acquaintance Miss Dawn," the boy proclaimed, bowing dramatically before rising, earning a stern look from the girl in front.

"Well, I'll echo that sentiment less bizarrely, we should probably introduce ourselves, my name is Rose, the boy that just bowed to you is Zachary, and..." she starts until the girl in red interrupts.

"My name is Natalie," she finishes the statement, her voice snarky, and probably not someone that I would be friends with under any circumstances.

"Well, alright, might as well start giving you the tour," I start walking as they trail behind, pointing out major things on this floor like the auditorium, the cafeteria, the two gyms, and the hallways specified for science, art, and world languages. Meanwhile, all three were behind me, either paying attention to the tour or talking in a huddled group. We walked through the different floors and I pointed out many things until we had to get to class.

"Alright, that completes the tour, now all we need to do now is head to class, I will be at your classes around 5 minutes before class ends to get all of you to class before the hallways become too crowded," they nod along as we stand at the end of a hallway.
