I walk into the front doors of Cornwell High, slipping past the weird goth chicks who look at me strangely, I survey my surroundings and spot an Administration Office sign with a couple of scattered arrows, shoving through the smothering crowds I finally reach the office, standing in the doorway I knock precariously and cautiously look into the room, an old white haired woman sat in a wooden chair that looked just as old as her, she taps away at a typewriter, taking a few whiffs of breath through her nose as if she had the sniffles, she sharply looks up and as her glasses slide down her nose she stares me down before saying

"Nevaia-Jain?"

I nod silently, step further into the room and pull the sleeves of my black Mickey Mouse jumper over my shaking hands. The old woman leans over the desk and hands over a timetable that makes no sense to me at all, as I turn to leave, the smell of moth balls and lavender hit me in the nose, turning to take a quick glance back at the old woman, shes nowhere to be seen.

Heading into the corridoor, I keep noticing people sniffling as I walk past, self-consciously taking a quick whiff of myself I find I don't smell bad at all! in fact, I smell just like One Direction's new perfume, Our Moment and also faintly of the waffles I had eaten this morning. Flipping my short brown hair over my shoulder, I walk into my first class of the day which happens to be Geography, i sit in a window seat that is 1 row from the back. After the 2nd bell rings, a small, tanned girl with long black hair and exotic looking eyes, one was brown and blue whilst the other was blue and green, waltzes into the room.

"Hi! I'm Kairis, Kairis Glass."

The petite girl smiles and holds a hand out for my pale and clammy one, I take it was a small smile and shake it, answering shyly
"Nevaia, but call me Nevvy."

with a satisfactory reply, Kairis turns toward to board.

Suddenly you realize, Kairis is your first friend at Cornwell High.
