Hey this is Phoenixscribemaster here with my first fanfic in a LONG time. I will try to update this at a frequent pace and hopefully I will be able to finish this fanfic and other fanfics in the future without throwing this fanfic in the abandoned fanfic heap.

On another note, I GREATLY appreciate reviews from all of you out there, so don't be afraid to comment about how good or bad I am doing. With that out of the way I hope you enjoy this fanfic. Goodbye for now. Oh and Happy holidays.

The transport van that was taking me to my destination hit a speed bump and woke me up from my nap. I would've just fallen back asleep if the driver didn't notice. "Oh you're awake."

I looked through the small window where the driver was located "Yeah." I sat straight up "How long was I out?"

The driver replies "Most of the trip. We'll be there in a few minutes." He readjusts his rear view mirror to look through the small window. "So how does it feel?"

"About what? My day hasn't been good that far if that's what you mean." I reply.

He shakes his head "No, I mean the fact you were invited to Hope's Peak Academy." I remembered that day. When I received the invitation, I originally thought it was a prank from one of the patients or staff, but then realized it was the real deal when I saw the school seal stamped on the invitation.

I shrug my shoulders "I find it kind of weird. I mean seriously look at me" To be truthful, my appearance wasn't social standard. My shaggy brown hair hung a little bit over my eyebrows while my green eyes looked as if I was staring down the soul. My upper body consisted of my straightjacket, which restrained my arms, and on my lower body were the white pants and shoes to match. I did, however, have a change of clothes in my duffle bag.

"Hey, don't worry about your appearance. Your classmates will befriend you once they get to know your crazy side." His tone of voice changed slightly "And what do you mean you didn't have a good day so far?"

"I was woken up at 4:30 in the morning, rushed into the showers, given a crappy breakfast, and forced into a straightjacket." I explained.

"What are you talking about?" The driver asked "They said that they gave you a nutritious breakfast."

"An orange. They only gave me a…" I sigh. "It's not your fault. You're just the driver."

I could see the driver's grin from the rear view mirror "That's true." The vehicle then comes to a complete stop. "We're here." The driver gets out and a minute later, the back doors of the van swing open. I wait for the driver to unbuckle me, but he never does.

After five minutes, the driver looks inside "Is there a problem?" I give him the facial equivalent of 'are you kidding me?' as I glared at him.

The driver raises an eyebrow "What? Just unbuckle your...oh." Realizing that I can't unbuckle myself, he hops in the back and unbuckles my seatbelt. As the driver goes to get my school supplies, I hop out and examine my new school.

To say that Hope's Peak Academy was freaking huge is an understatement. The schools eight or ten stories loomed over me with its castle like features. As I looked up at the giant circular window, I realized it was a clock. My mind began to realize how amazing it was. "THIS SCHOOL HAD A GIANT CLOCK ON THE MAIN BUILDING, IT LOOKS LIKE A CASTLE FROM EUROPE, AND IT'S HUGE. THIS ISN'T AN ACADEMY! IT'S A MANSION!"

The sound of the van doors closing snapped me out of my train of thought "Here's your stuff." He hangs my duffle bag on my left shoulder and lets it hang on my right, so it won't fall off. He gives me a small smile "Well, time for me to leave." I nod with a determined face.

He starts to walk towards the van "Good luck." He says without looking back. Before I could reply, he hops in his van and drives away. When the van turned onto another street, my focus shifts back towards the academy. Even with the encouraging words, one question kept coming to mind. 'Am I ready for this?'

I shrug it off as the first day jitters and casually stroll towards the main entrance. As I open the door, I was expecting the start an otherworldly experience. What I wasn't expecting was the room to start swirling. The harder I tried to stay awake the more energy I lost.

"This isn't…what I…meant." I manage to utter before I hit the ground with a thud.
