1. Introduction

How long was it since I was back in school? Too long, it seemed.

"It's so wonderful to have you back here Margaret Rose, we understand your circumstances and we're glad that you have reconsidered and have decided to resume school," Dora, my homeroom teacher, said.

I nodded, letting her know that I was listening to her still as I turned my face away from her and looked at my surroundings. As I walked down the corridors of the Elias building, my homeroom teacher was still rambling to me. Looking around the building, the main room was beautiful, always brightly lit and magically installed to show a sunny, bright sky. White, fluffy clouds were passing by, making it a calm, soothing atmosphere. The stairs were brightly lit, with mountain scenes splashed across them, revealing a majestic, grand staircase leading to the upstairs. Students were walking, holding books in their hands while wearing their uniform, rushing to their next class or talking in hushed voices to their friends.

I absorbed everything with my clear blue eyes and had a heart-wrenching nostalgic feeling. I clenched my fist, closed my eyes, and breathed in and out slowly. Calm down Rose, it's not going to be like that again, I told myself as I sped up my pace to catch up to my rambling homeroom teacher.
