It's the middle of January a week before midterms when everything changes for the 6th to 12th grade private school. 

"Hey have you seen the new group of students that just transfered into the school system?"
"No and what's their story?"
"Well apparently there's about twenty or so of them."
"Twenty?! Why would the school let them all transfer? I thought there was a rule of only five tranfers per year!"
"I know that's why everyone is talking about them. Plus it's the middle of the school year!"
