       My dad talked much about this Melbane University, considering it is one of the most expensive and exclusive schools here in Crescent Crust. Since my parents got divorced, I moved in with my dad and my mom went back to Ohio.

"Life gets better" that's what my mom used to say. I didn't have a choice but to go with my dad since he got the money for my education and not to mention he is crazy rich. 7:00 AM sharp and my dad dropped me off of the car in front of the school and I agree he's right, Melbane University is quite a beauty-- but the boys here are more beautiful.

As I walked a few steps away from the car, I noticed cheerleaders staring at me from head to toe. I can't seem to know why and I couldn't read the expressions on their faces, is it a good thing? Am I in trouble? Or are they purely intimidated?

I went inside the campus and people were still looking at me. I was starting to get pissed off and the school was creeping me out. The hallways here looked all the same and I wanted to find the dean's office to get my schedule. I don't want to ask anybody since they seemed to be unapproachable.

As I went up the stairs and reached the second floor, sadly the creepy stares of people were still present. I strolled around like a lost girl and to my delight, I saw the comfort room as I hastily walked towards it. The comfort room for girls here was quite spacious and I felt so relieved that there was nobody around.

I looked at the mirror to see if I have anything funny on my face. "I wonder what must be the reason why these people kept looking at me, I look totally fine!" I told myself.  I then opened the faucet and washed my hands because they seem to sweat a lot when I'm nervous.

I suddenly felt a cold wind passed through my neck...

I looked around if there was an open window but there's none. The lights started to flicker as I suddenly heard someone crying in one of the cubicles. "Can this place get any creepier??" I whispered to myself.

My heart started to pounding as one of the cubicles slowly opened. "Ahhhhh!!!! Ahhhhh!!!" I knew something was wrong so I screamed with all my voice.

"Would you keep your mouth shut?! You look so stupid!" The girl from the cubicle yelled at me.

I was totally over reacting. It wasn't a ghost, it's just a student. "Why are the lights flickering here?!" I exclaimed. "This happens all the time!" The girl replied to me while she approaches the mirror to see herself.

"Gosh, you must be the transferee people are talking about" she said to me while putting on her mascara. "Everybody knows me here?!" I seriously asked. "Don't feel like you're a diva, even though you look like one. Nobody knows you, the only thing we know is that there is a transferee." She replied.

I don't know what to react about her saying me looking like a diva but I would take it as a compliment.

"What's the issue about being a transferee?? Why do they even care?" I replied.
"Girl, we haven't had any transferees since Judy Jean became viral all over the place." She whispered slowly to me.

"Judy Jean? Who is she?" I asked.

"Shhhh!! We don't speak that name aloud in here! Please don't!" She replied looking afraid as she looked around the comfort room. "Please if you don't want to get in trouble, please stay out of this. Forget it if you must." She told me. The thought of this Judy Jean is intriguing. I guess I should discuss this topic some other time and then I saw the girl's ID.
