As the van drove away, so did my old life. I was no longer the little-known girl of New York, who got bullied constantly. Once I stepped in those doors, I would be begiginning a new life. My life at Blackwood High. 'If you're so excited, why can't you move?' A voice in my head asked. I blinked and replied to no one in paticular
"Okay, let's do this."
The mob of students running in and out of the school was huge. A zillion different faces, a zillion different races, all uniting at this one little school, living the next 3 years together. I shake my head, shaking away all those fears and worries, and begin running toward the doors. I look down, avoiding making any eye-contact with any other students. Suddenly, I feel a slight shove on my shoulder, and immediatly look up. I see a girl lying on the floor and suddenly start blushing madly. I kneel down next to her and help her up.
"I am SO sorry, I am just so clumsy!" I exclaim.
She dusts herself off and laughs.
"Don't worry about." She says, flashing me a smile.
"Erm..what's your name?" I manage to say.
"Kelsey Anne Jackson." She replies with a smile. "And you?" I grin
"I'm Sarah Bracer, nice to meet you." I say shaking her hand. She noticed I was freezing up a bit and smiled.
"Well, we shouldn't be standing in the middle of this mob, we dont want to get trambled on the first day of school." She giggles. I laugh, a slight smile playing at the corner of my lips.
"Lets go." I say nodding my head. She walked next to me and we took those steps into the huge double doors. My heart skipped a beat as we saw what awaited us.
The huge building was over-flowing with students. It was a big old building, with almost 20 long hallways, a HUGE chandeleir hanging on the ceiling, almost 4 cases of swirly stairwells and many other beautiful things.

"There it is." Kelsey said, pointing to a desk with a sign hung on it that says 'Student Regerstration.' I bite my lip and begin growing more and more tense. She notices my nervousness and laughs. "Don't be worried, you'll be fine! It's just school." She says reassuringly. I smile
"I know, I am just not the most confident person." I say with a laugh. We walk up to the help desk. A woman with slik black hair in a fancy updo smiled at us. She was wearing thin-wire glasses and a very fancy cashmere sweater. Her name tag read 'Headmistress.'
She smiled at us.
She smiled at us.
"Ah, students! You're names please."
"Kelsey Anne Jackson." Kelsey said. Headmistress looked through a notebook and flipped through the pages quickly.
"Aha, here you are! You are assigned to the Sweeties dorm." She says. She hands her a paper, that has the school rules written on it. She also hands her a credit-card like object. "This is your student card. It has your student number that you use to get into your dorm, and you use it to buy food from the cafeteria. Use it wisely." She says. Then she turns to me.
"Name?"
"Sarah Bracer." I say slowly. She looks through the notebook and finds my name.
"There you are Sarah! You are also a Sweetie." She says with a grin. Kelsey flashes me a thumbs-up sign and I smile slightly. Headmistress hands me the rules, and my student card.
"Thank you." I mumble. She smiles at me, and then motions for the next student to come up.
Kelsey and I walk around in search of our dorm and she gives me a smile.

"We're both in Sweeties!" She says with a smile. I grin at her happliy.
We walk up to a dorm. I open the door and look inside. I see a bunch of instruments.
"Is this the Sweeties dorm?" I ask slowly. A girl walks to the door.
"No it's the Musicians Dorm." She says with a grin. I blush and laugh.
"So sorry.." I say. She smiles.
"It's okay!" She says. I close the door and laugh. Kelsey giggles.
"We should've read the label on the door." She says.
"I Agree!" I laugh.
We continue to search for our dorm until we find a door labeled 'Sweeties Dorm.'
"Here it is.." Kelsey says slowly. I nod. She reaches for the doorknob and twists it open. The door slowly opens and we walk into the room.
It was gorgeous! Light teal walls with a white border, a Long fuzzy white carpet, 3 big white couches with teal pillows and a big glass table infront of them. There was also a big plasma TV on the wall, with a large chandeleir hung upon the ceiling. I smile.

"This is EPIC!" Kelsey shouts. Suddenly, a girl with pale skin, blonde hair and green eyes walks in from the kitchen.
"Hello girls!" She says with a smile. Kelsey smiles.
"Hey there!" She says.
"Hi." I manage to say. The girl smiles at us.
"Welcome to Blackwood!" She says.
"Thanks!" I reply with a smile.
"My name is Claire DiMarco, nice to meet you!" She says.
"I'm Kelsey, and this is Sarah." Kelsey says pointing to me. I grin.
"I'm Kelsey, and this is Sarah." Kelsey says pointing to me. I grin.
"What she said." I say, automatically realizing how stupid I just sounded. Claire grins.
"So, you girls are Sweeties?" She asks.
"Yep." Kelsey replied. I just nodded. Claire looks at us sweetly.
"Great! We are going to be roommates!" She says happily, sitting on the couch. I sit down on the other couch and Kelsey sits next to Claire.
"So, where are the other Sweeties?" I ask. Claire smiles.
"They haven't arrived yet." She says. I nod, for no reason. She stands up.
"I assume you girls want to see your room?" I nod vigourasely. "Well then, I shall show you." She said fancy-like. She motioned for us to follow her up the stairs. Kelsey and I stood up and walked behind her. "Although the school is old, the rooms are very 21st century and modern. You girls wil enjoy them very much. Let's start with Kelsey's room." She says. We walk into her room and she gasps.
"This is amazing!" She exclaims jumping up and down. Claire and I laugh. The room has pink walls and a walk in closet. There is a queen size bed, with pink and black zebra bedspread. It also had a large balcony that had a great view of Scotland. Kelsey sits on her bed and grins. "This is perfect!" She says. Claire turns to me.

"Ready to see your room?" I laugh.
"Claire, I was BORN ready." She leads me to my door and opens it. My jaw dropped almost to my shoes. The room was beautiful! The walls were orange with a white boarder. There was a white vanity in the corner, a white carpet, a white bookshelf and orange and white curtains. There was a large walk in closet and a queen sixed bed with an orange and white bedspread. There was a balcony in my room as well, and it had a great view. I twirled around happily, almost bumping into Claire.
"I love it!" I said. She smiled.
"I knew you might!" She said. She walked out and walked into her room, shutting the door behind her.
I quickly unpacked my things and finished in 12 seconds flat. I then ran out to the living room of the dorm and sat down. I turned on the TV and watched for a while. Then Kelsey and Claire ran down the stairs.
"Sarah, let's go. We dont want to be late." They say. I give them a quizzical glance.
"Late for what?" I say. They laugh.
"For Headmistress's welcoming speech silly!" Claire says. I turn off the TV and follow them out the door.
"Where is it?" I ask. Claire smiled.
"In the hall. They have it all fancy and decorated for the occasion!" She says. We rush down the stairwell and into the hall.
Streamers and balloons were hung from the ceiling. Many students were crowded in the room, chatting it up. Claire, Kelsey and I casually took a seat in the front row. I look to my left and see the girl that I saw in the Musicians Dorm earlier. She grinned at me.
"We meet again!" She says with a smile. I laugh.

"I'm Melody, and whats your name?" She asks us.
"I'm Sarah, and these are my friends Kelsey and Claire." I say. They smile at Melody.
"Hi, nice to meet you!" Claire says with a smile. Suddenly a voice echos in the microphone. All our attention immediatly faces the stage.

We see Headmistress standing up there with a big smile on her face. She tapped the microphone twice, to get the students' attention. Once all eyes were on her, she smiled and began her speech.
"It is my pleasure to welcome you, students, to Blackwood High. I'm Elizabeth Blackwood, your headmistress. I am without a doubt, especially grateful that you have all chosen this school among so many others and I promise that you won't regret your choice." She says."Your dorms have already been sorted and you have all been informed on what dorm you are in." She speaks into the microphone. She takes a short pause before continuing.
"Classes will start tomorrow morning and it's obligatory to assist. Your schedule has already been assigned. If you have any doubts, please do not hesitate to come to my office. And do not forget to read the rules of Blackwood High as it is very important. Thank you all for listening. You may leave now." Every student immediatly stands up and walks out of the room.

As Melody, Claire, Kelsey and I are walking out of the room we run into a girl.
"Hey!" She says.
"Hi there!" Claire replies. I smile.
"I'm Fiorella, and you are?" She asks.
"I'm Melody." Melody says.
"I'm Claire." Claire says.
"I'm Kelsey." Kesley says.
"I'm Sarah." I say. She smiles.
"It was nice to meet you guys! I'll see you around." She says as she turns to walk away.
