Crystal's heart sank as the train pulled into the station near Silverstone Castle Academy. Her parents thought this remote boarding school was perfect for her, but she didn't want to go. At seventeen, she felt pulled away from everything she knew and loved. Aunt Matilda had recommended the school, and Crystal resented her for always advising her parents about everything. As she stepped off the train and walked up the path to the school, Crystal couldn't help but marvel at the sight. Silverstone Castle Academy was stunning, with its tall towers and stone walls that glowed in the sunlight. The castle looked magical, like something out of a fairy tale. The forest surrounding it was filled with strange trees and unusual plants, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. Right away, Crystal noticed some odd things. The weather changed suddenly, from bright sunshine to pouring rain in a matter of minutes. The food was unlike anything she had ever tasted, with unusual flavors and textures. Despite these peculiarities, Crystal found herself liking her new friends. There were all kinds of students-cute boys, good girls, bad girls, and a few bullies. The teachers were a mix of weird and wonderful, some inspiring and kind, others strict and strange. Crystal tried to fit in and enjoy her new surroundings, even though she missed home. She knew her parents had spent a lot of money on this school, hoping it would be the best place for her.
